Chapter 185
Jingyang Palace
In fact, Shu Wan was not in a coma at all last night, she used her spiritual power to protect her body when the cat rushed over, and the reason why she fainted was only because if she was not unconscious after such a collision, then there was really no way to explain it.
So she could only take the initiative to be unconscious, and because she was too tired these days, she really fell asleep after returning to Jingyang Palace.
By the time she woke up, it was already the next day, and she remembered that she had been bumped by the wild cat on her way to Yikun Palace last night, and she didn't know what had happened after that.
While drinking millet porridge, she asked Zhixing to tell her in detail about last night's events.
Xiao Guo's little brother died at birth?
Shu Wan raised her eyebrows, and she suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart.
At this time, Xiaodouzi came to report that this morning someone from the palace found the body of a palace maid in the well of the imperial garden, and it was found that it was Nian'er who was waiting by Xiao Guo's side.
Hearing the name Nian'er, the bad premonition in Shu Wan's heart suddenly became a reality.
Although Nian'er's appearance was not as good as before, when she was in Chengqian Palace that day, she still recognized Nian'er as the begonia that was with Concubine Rou at the beginning.
Although she didn't know how Begonia escaped from the fire, Shu Wan originally thought that Begonia had escaped death and changed her face to become Nian'er, and she would be safe and serve by Xiao Guo's side.
But now that she thinks about it, she is too naΓ―ve, if she really wants a peaceful life, why should Begonia stay in the palace, just go out of the palace and live an ordinary life.
At the beginning, she was also soft-hearted and did not get rid of Nian'er, originally thinking that the well water would not interfere with the river water, but she didn't expect this kind of thing to happen.
Shu Wan instantly remembered these things, she was hit by a wild cat, according to Zhixing, the cat's paws were also smeared with poison that sealed her throat with blood, and the person behind the scenes wanted to kill her with one blow.
Last night, Xiao Guo's birth, in order to rush over early, she took the most convenient road, and the person who could do it at that time and place must be someone who knew her itinerary.
Thinking about it this way, Nian'er served by Xiao Guo's side, and was able to learn the news of Xiao Guo's production as soon as possible, so she could take advantage of the time difference between the news from Yikun Palace to the harem, ambush on the road in advance, and release the wild cat when she passed.
There is also the death of Xiao Guo's little brother, and Nian'er is serving by Xiao Guo's side, and he is the most likely person to take the opportunity to do something.
Thinking of this, the bowl of millet porridge in her hand slipped down instantly.
These two things are very likely to be done by Nian'er, but why did Nian'er do this, and can Nian'er alone complete all these arrangements?
"Mother, what's wrong with you? But what comes to mind? β
Shu Wan waved her hand, although she was not sure if it would be Nian'er who harmed her, but it is better to prevent problems before they happen, and it is better to prepare than not to prepare.
"Little Douzi, do you know where Nian'er's body is parked?"
She had to take a look at Nian'er's corpse for herself to feel at ease.
"Hui Niangniang, after being salvaged from the well, it has been parked in the imperial garden, and the emperor has sent someone to arrange for guards to guard there."
Presumably, there must be a lot of people in the Imperial Garden now, and it is difficult to get your hands dirty without being discovered.
Shu Wan couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and looked at the sky outside, the sky had just revealed a trace of silver, and it had not yet dawned, presumably Kangxi had not yet gone down to the court.
If you want to do it, there is only this period of time before Chen Kangxi goes down.
"Niangniang, did you think of something?"
Shu Wan nodded, "I'm afraid there is something wrong with that thought." β
Without further ado, Shu Wan immediately made arrangements, "Zhixing, you go to the imperial garden now to cut a few hibiscus flowers for the palace and come back, Xiaodouzi, you will send someone to keep an eye on every move of the Qianqing Palace, and the emperor will come back immediately to report to the palace." β
"Yes."
"Yes."
Zhixing came to the Imperial Garden, and sure enough, she saw a group of guards guarding there, and she walked up to the hibiscus flower, pretending to cut the flower.
"Ahh
The guard who was guarding there suddenly turned around when he heard the woman's exclamation.
Kexin was among them, and when he saw that it was the palace maid who was following Concubine Yu that day, he said to the others: "There is a little palace maid over there who is injured, I'll go see if there is anything I can do to help." β
"Haha, you kid has bad intentions!"
"you."
β¦
Kexin came to Zhixing, and saw that Zhixing's hand was cut by scissors, and he was covering his hand and crying out in pain.
"Are you alright?"
When Zhixing saw that the person who came was Kexin, he was immediately relieved, "It's okay." β
Then he lowered his voice and said, "Concubine Yu Niangniang has something to ask you." β
Kexin pulled out the handkerchief in his arms, "Your wound is not shallow, but you have to bandage it well." β
He also lowered his voice and replied, "What's the matter?" β
Zhixing whispered to him about the matter, "Concubine Jade wants to know if there is anything suspicious on that corpse?" β
"The emperor hasn't ordered it yet, so we don't dare to conduct a rash search."
Ke Xinzai carefully wrapped Zhixing's hand into a zongzi with a handkerchief, and asked quietly: "Does someone want to frame Concubine Yuniang?" β
"Concubine Yu Niangniang is just worried."
Kexin checked it again, and said loudly: "Okay, it's already wrapped, you have to be careful next time, these scissors are sharp." β
"We'll change values in a quarter of an hour, and we'll have about a stick of incense in between, and the only time to know what's on that corpse is to take advantage of that time."
"Okay, I got it."
After speaking, he picked up the flower basket and ran away.
Kexin shook his head in the back, this, this is the end? After using him, don't you give him some compensation?
"Hey, Dirk Xin, the little palace maid has run away and looked, come back soon."
"Yes, yes, coming, coming."
After Zhixing returned to Jingyang Palace, he immediately informed Shu Wan of the situation, Shu Wan thought about it, and decided to do it herself, after all, she had the help of spiritual power to get twice the result with half the effort.
hurriedly changed into a palace maid's dress, and painted herself with makeup that was so ugly that she couldn't be uglier anymore, she looked like an ordinary palace maid, and then ordered Zhiqiu to cover her in Jingyang Palace, so that no one could find out that she had gone out.
Then Zhixing took Shu Wan, who had already put on makeup, and pretended to go out to do errands, Zhixing was the palace maid of Jingyang Palace, and naturally no one stopped her when she wanted to go out, and the two came to the imperial garden secretly.
Shu Wan asked Zhixing to give her a lookout, and she rushed to Nian'er's corpse during the change of guards.
The sky was slightly bright, the surroundings were quiet and terrifying, and the cries of gnats were heard from time to time in the grass, the corpse had been somewhat deformed after a night of soaking, and its hair had already been scattered, and there was a lot of moss on it, and Nian'er's already terrible face was even more terrifying.
But Shu Wan knew that now was not the time to be afraid, she pretended to search Nian'er's body, but in fact, her hand did not touch Nian'er's body at all, but used spiritual power to scan, she did this just to show Zhixing.
She didn't find anything suspicious on Nian'er, just when Shu Wan was puzzled, she suddenly found that a golden thing in Nian'er's mouth was emitting a faint light, and when she looked closely, Nian'er's mouth was slightly raised, as if she had something in her mouth.
Shu Wan hurriedly opened Nian'er's mouth and took out the thing in her mouth, which was a gold ring inlaid with emerald gemstones, with simple workmanship and complex patterns and carvings.
At this time, she heard a chaotic sound of footsteps coming towards her, and Zhixing also let out a birdsong at the right time to remind her.
didn't have time to carefully identify whose ring it was, Shu Wan hurriedly took out another ring from the space and put it in Nian'er's mouth, and then hurriedly ran away.
After running out with Zhixing for a distance, seeing that no one was chasing after her, Shu Wan relieved herself and went around in a big circle with Zhixing, and the two finally returned to Jingyang Palace.
After Shu Wan returned to Jingyang Palace, the sky gradually broke, revealing the first ray of sunshine in the east.
Being troubled by this incident, Shu Wan's body and mind were a little tired, and she ordered someone to take a hot bath, and when she bathed, she was still thinking about Nian'er.
The ring she found in Nian'er's mouth didn't belong to her, the ring was beautiful, but it was too dignified and old, she really couldn't think of anyone in the harem who would wear a ring like that.
-------------------------------------
What Shu Wan didn't know was that just after she left the Imperial Garden, the three eunuchs and eunuchs who came were the ones who came to carry Nian'er's body to the imperial doctor for examination at the emperor's behest.
"It's really unlucky, it's really unlucky to let us do such a thing, do you treat us like dogs?"
"Aren't all dogs doing things for the emperor, okay, don't complain, the emperor is still waiting for us to go back and restore our lives."
One of them took advantage of the other two to complain, and saw the opportunity to open Nian'er's mouth, took out the ring in Nian'er's mouth and stuffed it into his boots.
When I looked up and saw that the other two were tied to a stretcher, I breathed a sigh of relief.
The three of them worked together to carry Nian'er's body onto the stretcher, and at this time, a jade pendant suddenly slipped from Nian'er's sleeve.
"Hey, there's a jade pendant here."
"Hurry up and put it away, maybe it's an important piece of evidence."
"Holo."
"Let's hurry up and take the body to the hospital."
"Okay, listen to you."
