The autumn breeze is blowing, and the lights are on.

Because of the banquet in the Mid-Autumn Festival, the palace is lit up everywhere, as bright as day.

Song Yi followed the palace maid on the road of the sheep farm in the imperial garden, and occasionally people walked around, so the palace maid immediately took Song Yi to avoid passers-by and walked away.

Because he encountered a similar thing at the birthday banquet of the old lady of the True King's Mansion last time, Song Yi, who followed behind, kept the strings in his heart tight.

She always had a feeling that something was going to happen in the palace tonight.

The palace maid was in front and did not speak. just unhurried and didn't let Song Yi leave her sight. Sometimes when I saw Song Yi slow down, I also slowed down, waiting for Song Yi to follow.

Song Yi was behind, keeping a safe distance from the palace maid.

But the more he walked, the darker and darker the surroundings became, and Song Yi's heart became more and more uneasy.

"Where is this? Where are you going to take me to find His Royal Highness? ”

The palace maid did not answer, but only turned a corner and stopped at the entrance of a hall where two palace lamps were hung on the eaves of the door.

The surroundings are dark, there are hundreds of green bamboo shades outside, there is no palm lamp in the courtyard, only a faint light in the house.

Song Yi wondered in his heart, how could the true king choose such an inaccessible place to meet him? And make it so mysterious?

Song Yi hesitated at the entrance of the hall, and the palace maid in front of him waited for a long time and couldn't see anyone, so she came out to greet Song Yi.

"Lord of the county, the true king is waiting in the palace. Why don't you hurry in? ”

Song Yi was uneasy in his heart, "Is His Royal Highness the True King really inside?" ”

"Which house are you the palace maid and what is your name? How could the true king send you to deliver the message? ”

Song Yi did not enter the palace because of the other party's urging, but interrogated the identity of the palace maid outside the hall.

The palace maid saw that Song Yi was alert, and sneered in her heart.

"County lord, don't you think it's too late to ask the slave maid these things now?"

Song Yi was alarmed in his heart, and he was sure that there was something wrong with the palace maid, but before he could open his mouth to call, he was sprinkled with powder in the face of the other party.

Song Yi didn't have time to hold his breath, inhaled some powder, and felt that his head was immediately confused.

When Song Yi woke up again, I don't know how long it took.

And she was already in a strange room.

There was no one else in the room, Song Yi first checked his body and found nothing abnormal, so his heart was a little more settled.

Song Yi wouldn't think that someone would go to such great lengths to let her rest in the house.

Things must not be so simple, so Song Yi checked the doors and windows of the house and found that the doors had been locked from the outside, no matter how Song Yi pushed them, they didn't move at all. The windows in the house should not be opened.

Only then did Song Yi understand that he had fallen into the trap again.

Now that I think about it, although the real king is a very powerful person, this is the palace after all, if he has something to tell himself, why choose to be in the palace? How could he let a strange palace maid pass a message to him?

Song Yi was annoyed that he was not alert enough, but now it is urgent to find out what conspiracy the people behind the scenes are? How do you get out of trouble, and tell His Highness the True King about this.

Song Yi was impatient in his heart, feeling that this room was a cage, and it was best to get out as soon as possible.

So, Song Yi hurriedly began to search in the house to see if there were any secret passages or tools for breaking doors and windows.

Inside and outside the main hall, Song Yi had already looked for it, but he didn't have any tools to take advantage of, and he didn't find a secret way to escape.

Now the only thing left unlooked is the inner room in the back.

The inner room is covered by screens and hangers, and it is dark inside, if there is no other way, Song Yi is not willing to go in and check.

Song Yi took a deep breath, steadied his breath, took a candlestick, and slowly walked into the inner room.

Outside the window, the moon was in the sky, and the moonlight poured into the inner room through the window.

The shadows of the trees outside the house are reflected on the ground near the window in the house, and the shadows are full of shadows, which is very infiltrating.

There seemed to be a cold wind blowing in, and the squeaky stiffness kept ringing in Song Yi's ears.

Song Yi held the candlestick high and slowly moved into the inner room by the bedside.

Suddenly, Song Yi felt that something was touching the top of his head.

Song Yi looked at the beam with courage, and saw a pair of embroidered shoes swaying in mid-air.

Song Yi had a faint feeling in his heart, raised his head and looked at Liang again.

"Ahh

The poignant sound was very penetrating in the night, and instantly attracted the palace patrol guards.

On the other side, inside the Kunning Palace.

"What? How could this happen? ”

It turned out that in the middle of the moon last night, the emperor came to the Kunning Palace as usual.

There was a death case in the palace, and no one dared to disturb the emperor's rest.

Wait until the next morning, the father-in-law next to the emperor dared to tell the emperor.

Emperor Long Yan was furious, but because of the involvement of the county lord of Qingping and Yonghe Palace, the emperor asked people to announce the true king and the concubine of the high emperor.

The queen remained silent and silent.

And the true king, who left the palace last night, saw that the girl in Huifangyuan did not wait for Song Yi. There was a vague uneasiness in my heart, and I wanted to go into the palace early the next morning to look for it, but I waited for the emperor to summon me.

When Zhu Xi entered the palace, he saw that the emperor's face was gloomy.

The queen looked indifferent, while the high emperor and concubine sneered.

Zhu Xi expected that Song Yi must have had an accident in the palace.

When the emperor reprimanded, Zhu Xi finally figured out what happened.

And Song Yi forced the palace maid of Yonghe to death, and even killed people? Zhu Xi didn't believe it.

Of course, Zhu Xi believed Song Yi and begged the emperor to let him investigate clearly.

The emperor saw that the true king insisted, and he was also a little shaken, after all, the lord of Qingping was a hero in the court, and he was also quite famous in the eyes of the people, if he couldn't convince people, I was afraid that people would question it.

Therefore, the emperor ordered the crown prince to personally supervise the trial and assigned the case to the Criminal Prison Department for trial.

The emperor saw that the true king's face was ugly, so he asked the real king and the crown prince to supervise the trial together.

So, the crown prince Zhao Honghao and the real king Zhu Xi received the order, cooperated with the Criminal Prison Division, and rushed to the place where the murder in the palace occurred.

On the other side, although Song Yi was "captured" on the spot, there was no conclusive evidence, so the guards did not put him in prison, but temporarily imprisoned him in another room.

After a night, Song Yi had recovered from the shock of seeing the corpse.

Song Yi knew that although he had temporarily lost his freedom, he was not put in prison, which meant that things had not yet reached the worst.

Song Yi firmly believes in his innocence, but this palace seems to be prosperous and prosperous, but it is full of places to eat people.

Who is behind last night's incident? Song Yi didn't know.

Song Yi tried to make a list in his heart of those who had an enmity with him and could do something in the palace.

Thinking about it, Song Yi's first thought was not someone else, but the noble Qi - Wang Shutong.

Wang Shutong has always thought that she was hindering her from the good things with the real king, and now Wang Shutong has entered the palace and has become a nobleman, and it is reasonable to do it to herself in the palace.

However, I heard that the deceased was the palace maid of Yonghe Palace, and no matter how favored Wang Shutong was, she was only a woman who had only entered the palace for a short time, could she put her hand into Yonghe Palace so quickly?

You must know that the concubine of the emperor is the most powerful woman in the palace except for the queen mother and the queen.

Does Wang Shutong have the courage to move the people of Yonghe Palace?

But, if it weren't for Wang Shutong, who else could it be?

Could it be that there are still people who have had festivals with the Emperor Gao and the concubine himself?

As soon as he thought of this, a person immediately appeared in Song Yi's mind.

It can't be her, right?

Song Yi didn't know that he was just a seven-rank county lord, how could he be in the list of invitations to the palace for a banquet this time?

And she and the Emperor Gao are at loggerheads, who doesn't know about the Qianchao? In addition, the prince's locust plague in Henan and other places planted a big heel, and she happened to make a contribution and received a reward.

Could it be that she is angry with herself because of the prince? Or, is there a bigger conspiracy behind it, not for himself, but for the true king?

The more Song Yi thought about it, the more panicked he became, I don't know if this conspiracy is aimed at him, or the real king?

Song Yi didn't know what he was going to do now.

Last night, after she woke up from her slumber, she went to check the doors and windows as soon as possible, obviously the doors and windows were locked from the outside, and when the guards came in, it was effortless, obviously, the doors and windows had been opened without her noticing.

This made Song Yi's justification for being locked in the house untenable.

Song Yi didn't have to guess to know that when hundreds of officials went to the banquet last night, there was a life case in the palace, and no one dared to hide it.

The people behind the scenes must have cleaned up the traces a long time ago, and if they want to find clues to exonerate themselves, Song Yi also knows that it is even more difficult.

Soon, it was dawn, and someone came to take Song Yi to be tried.

Song Yi followed the guards back to the scene of the crime.

And in the palace, the crown prince and the true king are among them.

Song Yi was obviously relieved to see that the real king was originally anxious, and he was obviously relieved to see that she was safe and sound.

Song Yi even understood from the lips of the true king, telling her not to be afraid.

With the guarantee of the true king, Song Yi's heart gradually relaxed.

Song Yi knelt down "Prince Chitose Chitose Chitose" and "Prince Chitose"

It turned out that it was the crown prince and the true king who personally tried the case.

Outside the palace, the news of the death case on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival in the palace soon spread.

It was Lan'er, the palace maid of Yonghe Palace, who died, and the last person who had a conflict with others before his death was the county lord of Qingping. What's even more strange is that it was the county lord of Qingping who discovered Lan'er.

This kind of coincidence, someone with a heart tasted the taste. But more people who eat melons are only keen to talk about gossip.

Everyone has different opinions, and the case is also confusing.
