Chapter 118: The Death of the Autumn Warbler
On the way back to Ximian Palace, Yu Die'er was in a happy mood, although Concubine Su and Hebi were only imprisoned and were not given death, which is a pity, but it is estimated that he will not have a bright future in this life, although it is better to die than to live, but for ambitious people like Hebi, such a life may be more uncomfortable than death.
It can be regarded as revenge, the big thing is over, she thought about it and found an excuse to quit her errand and leave, if the emperor didn't allow it, she would flee, anyway, she didn't want to stay in this palace anymore.
I was happy in my heart, and I had to keep my face tense, otherwise it would be too obvious. Instructed Jin Song to let everyone pay attention to the point, don't be too public, now the emperor is unhappy, and if he makes a mistake, he will use the topic to play.
Putting down the tea bowl, I suddenly felt that something was missing. "Where's the autumn warbler? where did this girl go?" I don't seem to see that cheerful shadow today, she always chatters non-stop when she is there, and when she is gone, she is deserted.
"The slave and maid saw it in the morning, and there was no shadow in a flash, as if they had gone out. Peony Road. But she wasn't sure if she had gone out.
This girl is crazy, Yu Die'er thinks she is young, usually used to her, often in the morning, no one in the afternoon, but when she comes back, she is either holding a handful of flowers, or taking a gadget that she doesn't know where to make it, which makes Yu Die'er very happy, everyone knows that she can please the master, and naturally looks at her differently, whether it is Jin Song or Sang Yun, they don't instruct her. She's like an idle person who doesn't care.
Now no one knows what she is doing, Jin Song went to ask one by one, and said that he didn't see it, and then a laundry girl remembered, saying that last night I heard Qiu Ying say that she was going to Chuqing Palace today, and said that the little sister in the past made peach blossom brew, and she wanted to get it for the master to taste.
Yu Die'er knew that there was a peach orchard in Chuqing Palace, and when she was in Youlanxuan, Qiu Ying often folded peach blossoms for her.
I sent someone to look for it, saying that the person had gone early in the morning, and he had taken his things and left, and he didn't sit down.
Inexplicably, Yu Butterfly was a little flustered. I can't be alarmed yet, because a girl is gone, it's not a big deal in this palace, maybe I have to convict of leaving my post without permission, so I sent all the minions of Ximian Palace out, looking around, and asked quietly. I haven't found it until the night, Yu Die'er couldn't sit still, and ran to Chuqing Palace to find Heyan, but the person was gone from him, who did not look for him?
"Qiu Ying is gone, and I haven't gone back since I left your Chuqing Palace. It's been a day. Somehow, I burst into tears. She is really afraid, inexplicably afraid, afraid that something will happen, no matter how playful Qiu Ying is, she has never been back for so long.
A palace maid is gone, Heyan is not necessarily in a hurry, but seeing Yu Die'er like this, he followed the nervousness, transferred the guards to help find it, and sent Bai Gonggong to find it, Bai Gonggong is an old man in the palace, and he sounds better than the people in her palace.
"Xu forgot to go back to where he played. Heyan comforted her, although she felt that it was impossible to hear this, how could there be a reason for the palace maid to play until midnight and not return to the palace. Even the master would not be like this.
Throughout the night, I went to the palaces one by one, and because of the prince's intervention, the palaces did not dare to despise them, and the masters called the minions and asked them one by one, but they all said that they had not seen it. I don't know if it's true or not.
Although I was anxious, but I still had to do the errand, I made breakfast and sent it to the emperor in a strong spirit, and the emperor's spirit was not very good, and I didn't go to the morning today, Yu Die'er wanted to tell the emperor, I tried to say nothing, something like that happened yesterday, the emperor was in a very bad mood, who dared to provoke him at this time, not to mention that even if the emperor was in a good mood, he might not care, and the matter of a low-level palace maid was not a matter at all in front of the emperor. In this palace, it is not uncommon for concubines to hang themselves, in this affectionate place, who cares about you as a palace maid.
Worried, he went out of Yonghua Palace, and met Heyan who was still helping to find people on the road.
"Any news?" she asked tentatively.
Heyan shook his head.
Half of her heart was cold, and the other half was cold in the night.
She doesn't want to think about the bad place, but all the facts point to the bad place, Qiu Ying is just a little palace maid, who doesn't want to go with her?
"Do you say, will the autumn warbler ......?" but he didn't dare to finish the sentence.
At this time, Heyan didn't have the confidence to say comforting words that would be fine, he had been in the palace since he was a child, and he was used to seeing it. If a palace maid like this goes missing, she will either die and not see her body, or she will see her body a few days later. Although he doesn't know who will hold a grudge against a little palace maid.
He reached out and patted her on the back, "Die'er, did she offend someone?"
"No, after leaving Chuqing Palace, she followed me, and she didn't have much contact with the outside. Yu Die'er denied it, but also knew what Heyan meant by this, she only felt that her feet were weak, and she leaned on his shoulder, she was fragile and just wanted to find a temporary support at this moment, so as not to fall.
Hetai slept yesterday since he went back to the Xuanyi Palace, and after he slept enough, he had dinner and went to the Criminal Department to deal with official business. When the guards searched, he had already left, and he was busy until this morning before returning to the palace, he didn't know about Hebi's mother and son, and he didn't go to his Haoyuezhai after returning to the palace, but he turned into the harem, wanting to see the queen mother, to see the fish and butterflies, and it was strange to see him for a day.
The heart is beautiful, and I saw the two in front of me hugging each other, what does it mean?
He didn't even have the courage to go up, for fear that his pride would be crushed by them, so he turned around and fled.
The body of the autumn warbler was found two days later, in a pond. If it weren't for salvage, it wouldn't have been discovered, because the person was tied to a stone and thrown down, and he spent money to call the sentencing department to do an examination, and there was blood stasis in the back of his head, and he was knocked unconscious and then thrown down. The time of death was the morning of the day he disappeared, and it was estimated that he was attacked after coming out of Chuqing Palace.
The matter of finding a servant is hosted by Jin Song. After all, when a person dies, he must also know the cause of death.
Since seeing the corpse of the autumn warbler, Yu Die'er was stunned, only to feel that her heart was pierced with a hole, the real pain of the heart, it took a long time for tears to drip from her eyes, a drop of a drop of a click to her hand, the hot touch made her hands tremble.
Peony couldn't cry silently, she and Qiu Ying were the best, and the others were also uncomfortable, they were all in the same palace, and this sudden person was gone.
Her little autumn warbler died like this, she was still so young, she hadn't lived a free life after leaving the palace, and she hadn't married yet. That night, she still talked to herself that it was time for her to stay with her for the second day, and that she would listen to her master's story.
A living person, in the blink of an eye, becomes a cold corpse, how can she accept it, how can she accept it?
She crouched down, touched her blistered deformed face, and murmured, "Once upon a time, in a country, there was a princess with a peerless face, her father was a king, and she was her father's favorite daughter. On her eighteenth birthday, the king gave her a crystal, a crystal with magic that could grant her master's wishes.
Yu Die'er tearfully told Qiu Ying's favorite story, in the next life, I hope she will be reincarnated in a happy home, live a good life, never come to the palace, never be happy.
The story was told intermittently with sobbing and crying, and she fell on the corpse and wept, crying all her grief.
How she wished she had a crystal that would grant her wishes, so that she could save the warbler.
But a story is a story after all, and it's all a lie!
People can't die in vain, Yu Die'er can't care so much, she went to the emperor, and she didn't care if the emperor would be angry.
"Your Majesty, the little maid in the slave palace was killed. Ask the emperor to be the master of the slaves. "When a person dies, he has to pull a few cushions on his back, and he can't let the autumn warbler die in vain.
The emperor himself is also extremely worried, a palace maid will die if she dies, and she will come to disturb the holy car at this time. He frowned unhappily and wanted to reprimand, but when he saw her crying peach-like eyes, her weak body kneeling straight, and her stubborn face, he couldn't bear it.
"Alas!" the emperor sighed, "how do you know that you were killed?"
Gonggong Yu pondered, did the emperor ask? Is this to be managed? If this is a different person, it is estimated that it will be unlucky to bother the emperor with these things at this time, after all, the emperor is also angry at this time. But didn't get angry?
So he looked at the fish butterfly meaningfully.
Yu Die'er said what he said to the emperor 1510.
If it is a mistake and falling into the water, who will carry a stone on his back, and this murderer is also a murderer, and he does not hide his murder, he is so blatant, he is not even bothered to fake it as suicide, he is too arrogant, and the origin must be not small.
"Fuzi, call someone to check. After listening to this, the emperor gave a light order, and it was not easy to say this sentence.
"The slave and the maid thank the emperor for his grace, the slave and the maid should not disturb the emperor with some trivial things, but the slave maid palace is responsible for the meal of the emperor and the queen mother, and the first furnace of pills in the medicine furnace can be opened in seven days, and the slave maid's personal maid was killed, and the slave and maid are just afraid that if the murderer is not removed, there will be trouble. So dare to play the emperor. Yu Die'er was afraid that the people who investigated would not be satisfied, and she was also afraid that the emperor would not supervise this matter, so the people below were slack, so she said a few more words.
"Your heart understands, go down. The emperor was noncommittal.
In the past, there was the curse of Su Guifei, Hebi secretly hid the dragon robe, and then there was the murder of the maid of Ximian Palace who provided food for herself, and in the same day, so many things happened, and the emperor was very depressed.
The Sentencing Division intervened in the matter and took Qiu Ying's body away, this is no way, since the case has been filed, the body is evidence, and it must be kept in the Sentencing Division.
After the incident of the autumn warbler, Yu Die'er still cooked and delivered meals to the emperor and the queen mother on time every day, and was still gentle to the people below, but she seemed alienated, and there was no smile on her face.
The emperor intervened, the Sentencing Department did not dare to slack off, and the investigation was also dedicated, anyway, seeing that they were not idle, I just hoped that there would be witnesses who would be willing to tell the truth that day. Although it is not known whether there are any witnesses or not.
