Although Xu Xinyi didn't let the maids and servants report it, someone still quietly told Qin Lin that he was about to ask Zhu Yaoyuan, and when he received the news, he threw the rhubarb to Asha and hurriedly returned to the third hall.

As soon as I arrived outside the door, I met Xu Xinyi, and the eldest lady walked out in a hurry, and her apricot eyes were round: "Qin Lin, I'm looking for you, why is there a statue of osmanthus in our house?" Don't deny it, Cousin Yao is here, she recognized it! ”

It turned out that the deceased was someone Zhu Yaoyuan knew, so it was basically certain that the so-called "osmanthus" was a palace maid or something.

Qin Lin was about to explain, when he saw Zhu Yaoyuan holding the clay figure's head, he sneered and said, "Eldest princess, can you put that thing down first?" This is a long story, and I want to ask you about osmanthus flowers......"1

"No" Xu Xinyi crossed his waist, pulled Zhu Yaoyuan, and waved his hand again: "The surname Qin, you are the most cunning, you must say your cousin first, we can't fall for him." ”，

Zhu Yaoyuan also nodded, and begged softly: "Brother-in-law, just tell us, Osmanthus is really pitiful, is she not dead yet?" ”

Qin Lin touched his nose, and while moving towards Zhu Yaoyuan's side, he looked at her eyes, and said slowly: "Okay, I'll tell you, but you have to be steady, don't be frightened." Osmanthus tweed, it is indeed a death hindrance, and the eldest princess is holding her white bone skeleton in her hand, and it is my brother-in-law who pasted a layer on the outside of the skeleton with clay to restore her appearance.

Before the words landed, I only heard Zhu Yaoyuan hum in her nose, and as soon as she let go of her hand, the clay statue fell down. "Haha, fortunately I was prepared!" Qin Lin's hands were quick, and he copied the avatar in his hand with a beautiful Haidilao Moon. It took most of the day to restore this avatar, and it would not be good if it was broken.

Not only did the avatar fall, how could Zhu Yaoyuan withstand this fright? The little girl's face was pale, her eyes were closed, and her slender body fell to the side.

Rao is Xu Xinyi was bold, and when he heard that there was a skull wrapped under the sharp mud shell, he was also very frightened, and he didn't react.

Qin Lingu held the clay avatar in his hand and hurriedly stretched out his left hand to support Zhu Yao's slender waist, and yelled at Xu Xinyi: "Silly sister, you still don't help?" ”

Oh, Xu Xinyi was shocked at this time, and she helped Zhu Yaoyuan to help her up, and pinched her for a long time before she woke up leisurely, her face was still very white and not a little bloody.

"Did you twist your back somewhere?" Xu Xinyi nervously checked his cousin, for fear that the person who would fall down as soon as the wind blew would make a mistake.

"No, no, Zhu Yaoyuan replied, suddenly her white face turned red, she looked at Qin Lin, her wet eyes dodged like a frightened deer, and her voice was as small as a mosquito humming: "Brother-in-law, your hands are ......."

Qin Lin finally realized that his claws were still on the waist of someone else's yellow flower girl!

Well, soft and delicate......

Clicking and laughing dryly, Qin Lin retracted his paws, and his face was not even half embarrassed. A matter of course.

Xu Xinyi helped his cousin sit on the chair and turned around and glared at Qin Lin: "You have a heart!" Cousin Yao is already weak, and you still make a drum tower to scare her! ”

Wronged! Qin Lin called out to hit the sky: "Wife Mingjian, at first I asked my cousin to put the skull down, but you wanted me to tell the truth first, so I told the truth." In the end, it's all my fault? ”

Xu Xinyi thought about it, it was true that Qin Lin first asked to put down the clay sculpture head, but he had to ask him to say it first, but who would have thought that the "statue" was actually a skull wrapped in clay?

Zhu Yaoyuan sat on the chair and rested for a while, and when she saw Xu Xinyi and Qin Lin arguing, she couldn't take any breath, and hurriedly persuaded: "No, don't blame my brother-in-law, it's me who is too timid, in fact, Osmanthus was so good to me when she was alive, I shouldn't be afraid." ”

I said you can't blame me, Qin Lin smiled proudly at Xu Xinyi.

Miss Xu had no choice but to give up, saying that you would scare your little cousin, and it would be good if she would be afraid of you in the future! She is always facing you, and always helps you talk when things happen.

Zhu Yaoyuan drank half a cup of fragrant tea again, calmed down, and said about osmanthus. ,

As Qin Lin came to the conclusion of the identification of the skeleton, Osmanthus had just turned eighteen years old when he died.

She is a native of Daxing County, Shuntian Prefecture, surnamed Lu, her family lives on the east side of the moat, and she went to the palace at the age of sixteen to be a "capital person", that is, an ordinary palace maid, and was assigned to Zhu Yaoyuan as an errand girl.

Osmanthus looks good, but it is not particularly outstanding in the beautiful palace, and her temperament is very gentle and kind, just with Zhu Yao's master and servant, Zhu Yaoyuan taught her to read and read, and in more than a year, she has read the three-character classic, the surname of the hundred families, and the thousand-character text.

At the beginning of this year, there was a lack of a few clever palace maids around the queen, and the eunuch reported the name of the osmanthus flower, although Zhu Yaoyuan was reluctant in her heart, thinking that she was a princess who no one cared about after all, but the queen was the hot lord of the inner palace, and the osmanthus might have a better future? Besides, she never liked to fight with others, so she let Osmanthus go to the queen's side.

Since then, Osmanthus has been on an errand in Kunning Palace, where Queen Wang lives.

Who knew that in July this year, there was a sudden bad news that Osmanthus was ordered by the queen to be beaten to death with a rod because of her disobedience to the queen! (Cat's note: Queen Shi Zaiwang is not favored, her emotions are extreme, and she has killed more than 100 palace maids and eunuchs)

At first hearing the bad news, Zhu Yaoyuan was so sad that she secretly cried several times in the middle of the night, and she didn't dare to cry in front of others, lest her sister-in-law know about it and retaliate.

"This queen is really hateful!" Xu Xinyi was so angry that his apricot face turned red, clenched his fists and said: "Although the palace maid is a subordinate, her mother is also pregnant in October, and her parents have worked hard to raise her for more than ten years. God has the virtue of a good life, why does she do evil like this, why should she be the mother of the world? ”

Zhu Yaoyuan stood up in fright, and looked around in a panic: "Cousin be cautious, beware of ear on the wall!" ”

After seeing Qin Lin, he made up his mind, it turned out that this was Qin's brother-in-law's mansion, not the palace full of deceit, betrayal and betrayal.

Qin Lin was thoughtful, but suddenly looked up at Xu Xinyi and laughed, "If you are really angry, you will kill the palace maid, the queen is indeed not worthy of the world, but the tone of Miss Xu's words is so regretful............

Xu Xinyi pouted and tapped the corner of Qin Lin's forehead, "You know what you're going to say, it seems that I can be the mother of the world, right?" Hmph, I don't have that ability, so I have to guard you stupid! ”

Just kidding, seeing Zhu Yaoyuan's sad eyebrows gradually unfold, Qin Lin breathed a sigh of relief, a weak person like Zhu Yaoyuan, if she was sad and depressed, she would definitely hurt her body, so make a few jokes to let her get out of that bad memory quickly.

Qin Lin asked Zhu Yaoyuan again, what kind of person is Queen Wang, who she favors the most, and so on.

"This imperial sister-in-law is not only dignified and beautiful, but also smart and wise, and she is very good at pleasing my mother, I am afraid that in the mother's mind, even my own daughter can't catch up with her, Zhu Yaoyuan smiled bitterly, she is the daughter of the Empress Dowager Li, but the care she gets is far worse than that of the daughter-in-law of Queen Wang.

Soon, her thin and curved brows became tangled, "However, the imperial sister-in-law is too mean and unkind, except for the other eunuchs and palace maids beside her, no one can please them, this has just entered the palace for more than two years, and there are not ten eunuchs and palace maids who were ordered to be killed, but seven or eight!"

Osmanthus and osmanthus just hit her hand, alas........."

Zhu Yaoyao is weak and kind, Qin Lin rarely sees her expressing dissatisfaction with anyone, but the disgust on the eldest princess's face this time is really very obvious.

Qin Lin couldn't help but wonder, "If she does this, won't your queen mother stop it?" I heard that her old man is called Guanyin Li Niangniang, the most benevolent and generous. ”

Zhu Yaoyuan shook her head and said helplessly, "The imperial sister-in-law coaxed the queen mother, of course she said that those eunuchs and palace maids were rebellious and deserved, and the queen mother would not suspect it at all." Besides, even I, my own daughter, have to retreat, and no one else dares to gossip about the queen mother? ”

"I really want to beat her up!" Xu Xinyi was huffing.

Of course, this is angry talk, except for Empress Dowager Li and Emperor Wanli herself, who else can help Empress Wang?

Qin Lin lowered his head and thought, Zhu Yaoyuan will not and there is no need to lie, then this matter is very strange, Lu Guihua is a gentle and virtuous palace maid, and her appearance is not outstanding in the palace, there is no such situation as jealousy and jealousy in the inner palace, and it is impossible to disobey the queen as a mere palace maid, so why was she suddenly killed by the queen's cane?

Could it really be the same as the seven or eight unlucky people in front of him, purely unintentionally and accidentally offended the queen and lost his life?

"Probably not" Zhu Yaoqi blinked in confusion, "Osmanthus she is very careful and meticulous in her work, grinding ink and laying paper for me, there has never been a mistake, the eunuchs and palace maids in front of her were all hairy hands and feet to break the glass bowl, and the candle burned the queen's dress before she was killed by the cane, she is different from those people."

This thing is very strange, Qin Lin faintly felt that something was wrong, if there was really no problem behind it, why did Dongchang get her bones away, turn into a skeleton behind her nose, and come to his own hands?

I'm afraid Feng Bao also sniffed out something wrong, so he secretly investigated this matter, the factory and the guard are integrated, and there are also many masters in the East Factory, and their hands are stretched out.

Qin Lin didn't hide it, and told him all the ins and outs of this matter. Zhu Yao's tears fell down in big drops, and she was no longer afraid, and touched the clay sculpture head of the skeleton: "Osmanthus, you are so pitiful, why do the people in Dongchang make you a skeleton?" ”

Qin Lin thought for a moment and asked, "When will Queen Wang leave Kunning Palace?" ”

"What are you going to do?" Xu Xinyi and Zhu Yaoyuan both widened their eyes in surprise.

Qin Lin smiled slightly: "I will meet this Lord of the Six Palaces." ”
