Chapter 68, the mystery case arises again

Two days after the accident of the prince Zhao Li, another suspicious case occurred in the palace.

Zhao Yiyi's eight-year-old sister, Princess Yunguo, nicknamed Zhao Yiyi, had an accident, and she fell into the pond in the imperial garden of the palace on a misty afternoon.

When Zhao Yiyi was fished up by the palace maid and eunuch, she was already dead of anger.

What is strange is that when Zhao Yiyi had an accident, she turned out to be a woman dressed as a man, she looked similar to Zhao Maid, and she wore men's clothes.

Zhao maid's mother, Concubine Zhu De, sat next to Zhao Yiyi's corpse, and when the imperial doctors told her that she had no skills to return to heaven, she silently sorted out Zhao Yiyi's water-soaked hair, without a single tear on her face, Zhao Yiyi's men's clothes were exactly what she changed for her a few days ago.

After Li Dang arrived at the scene, although he did his best to rescue, he did not pull Zhao Yiyi back from the ghost gate, she had been drowning for too long, and no one could tell when she fell into the water, let alone how she fell into the water.

Li Dang saw Concubine Zhu De, the mother of Zhao Maid, for the first time, watching Concubine Zhu Defei be silent, scattering Zhao Yiyi's green silk wet from the pool water, washing it down again with clean water, and then drying it with a dry cotton cloth, and re-combing Zhao Yiyi's hair into two tall buns.

Concubine Zhu Defei's calmness and unfettered handling left a deep impression on him. "It seems that Zhao Maid has inherited his mother's character!" Li Dang thought to himself.

However, when Li Dare saw the men's clothes on Zhao Yiyi's body, and saw that Concubine Zhu Defei gritted her teeth and didn't speak, he knew that although she had no tears in her eyes, her heart was crying blood, because she personally sent the woman to the point of no return, and it was she who used this dress to put Zhao Yiyi in danger.

Li dared to know that Concubine Zhu De wanted to use Zhao Yiyi's clothes to protect the safety of Zhao Maid.

Indeed, as Li Dare expected, Concubine Zhu Defei wanted to use this suspicious tactic to make people not know that it was the real Zhao maid, of course, as a mother, of course she had to protect her two children, so she ordered several guards close to her to step up the protection of Zhao maid and Zhao Yiyi, but she didn't expect her to lose the chess, and Zhao Yiyi still had an accident.

"I hate myself the most for being born in the emperor's family!"

Li Dang remembered what Zhao Maid had said to him before, and now he knew how sad the ten-year-old Zhao Maid was when he said this, he had died of his five elder brothers in vain, and now among the remaining brothers, he was the eldest, so he was also in the most dangerous situation.

Now Zhao Maid's sister is also gone, and she can even be said to have passed away completely because of Zhao Maid.

Li Dang's heart was full of grief and indignation, this is not about human nature, this is a little girl who is only eight years old, who is going to kill the killer after losing his conscience, Li Dang remembered the incident of Zhao Tong a few days ago, and he couldn't help but suspect that this was a case of serial harm.

The objects of this injury are actually the princes, and it seems that it is still related to the struggle for power and profit of the ** or the court. Li Dang thought to himself.

Since this palace is so dangerous and unpredictable, this Zhao maid still has to be careful, Li Dare cast a concerned look at Zhao Maid, who was snuggled next to Concubine Zhu De.

Coincidentally, Zhao Maid's eyes were also looking at Li Kang at this time, and the eyes of the two were connected.

Li Dang and Zhao Jian looked at each other for a long time, both of them nodded with resolute expressions, they didn't need to say anything, they both understood the meaning of each other's hearts.

The mother didn't cry, Zhao maid tightly held the little hand of the three-year-old brother Zhao in her mother's arms, and held back the tears in her eyes.

Zhao Maid didn't know when this palace began to become more dangerous than the battlefield.

He only remembered that when he was still a toddler, Queen Xiang once sat in her own phoenix chariot with him, saying that she would take him around the palace, Zhao Maid remembered that she was on the phoenix chariot, and as soon as she turned around, she saw the frightened expression on her mother's face and her uneasy eyes.

Later, Zhao Maid, who had thought of his mother's expression many times that day, was from his mother's eyes that day, the precocious Zhao Maid slowly understood the other side of this seemingly peaceful inner deep palace, the other side of the dark tide, he knew that what his mother was most worried about was that the next time he saw himself, he was already like his five brothers, he couldn't speak, so he paid extra attention to protecting himself.

Just when Li Dang secretly swore in his heart that he wanted to find out the real culprit and avenge Zhao Yiyi and Zhao Li, he came to the queen.

Empress Xiang is forty years old, but she looks much older than her actual age.

She is a little chubby, the cheek muscles on both sides are very loose, hanging down, it looks like her head is like a gourd in the mobile game "Plants vs. Zombies" that children like to play, a pair of small eyes Mimi, laughing deeply into it, can't see it at all.

As soon as Empress Xiang came in, she said a lot of beautiful and heartwarming words of comfort to Concubine Zhu De.

The most particular thing in this palace is that the mother is more expensive than the son, Zhao Boss worked hard with the concubines in this life, and gave birth to fourteen sons and ten daughters, most of whom died young, although Xiang is the queen and has a noble status, but she is not favored by Zhao Boss because of her mediocre appearance, she once gave birth to the first child for Zhao Boss, she is a princess, but unfortunately died.

And Concubine Zhu Defei is deeply loved by Boss Zhao because of her outstanding appearance, and her stomach is also angry, and she gave birth to two sons and three daughters for Boss Zhao in one go.

Not to mention the daughter, these two sons are all smart and clever, and they are regarded as treasures by Boss Zhao, especially Zhao Maid, who was born with extraordinary bearing, although he has not been established as a prince, but he has been cultivated by Boss Zhao as a successor.

With a son like Zhao Maid, even Empress Xiang usually has to curry favor with Concubine Zhu De.

"Sister, the matter of Princess Yunguo is an accident, since it has happened, it can only be said that this girl's blessing is not enough, my sister still pays attention to all the mourning, don't hurt her own body." Xiang Xiang said to the queen to comfort Concubine Zhu De.

What kind of nonsense is this, he doesn't take the death of a little girl's life seriously at all, Li Dare listened, and immediately lit up the red light to the Queen Mother, and came out with a very low impression score.

"With Queen Lao's mother to worry about, the concubine will take care of her own family!"

Concubine Zhu De's answer was lukewarm, she stood up and saluted the queen again.

asked the queen a few words back and forth, took Zhao Maid's hand, praised a few words, and then instructed Concubine Zhu De to deal with Zhao Yiyi's funeral in a low-key manner, so as not to rush to joy and harm Boss Zhao, his current body is at the key point of treatment.

After leaving Empress Xiang, Concubine Zhu De asked the palace maids to take out a beautiful girl's clothes and said that she would change them for Zhao Yiyi.

Seeing this, Li Dare was not good at staying, he said goodbye to Concubine Zhu De's mother and son, and left the Right Zhaoqing Hall where Concubine Zhu Defei lived.

On the way back to the Funing Palace, Li Dang suddenly remembered Zhao Ji and his mother Chen Meiren, this palace is so dangerous, and I don't know if there will be any accidents in them.
