"What's the matter? You two still know this person? ”

Yan Feifei pointed at him and said, "This person is the thief who stole Li'er's money bag today." ”

Meng Hanyuan didn't speak anymore at the moment, no matter whether this person was a thief or not, now that his life was in danger after all, the first thing he had to do was to save his life.

It's just that they found this man too late.

After half a cup of tea had passed, Meng Hanyuan shook his head, "I can't save it." ”

Although the person in front of them didn't know them, they were still quite uncomfortable when a fresh life passed away in front of their eyes.

Xie Chengli said again: "Can you tell how he died?" ”

Meng Hanyuan ripped off his clothes, looked at the wound on his chest, and said, "It should be a knife wound, but the shape of this knife wound is a little strange, I have never seen it." ”

Xie Chengli and the secret guard also leaned in to take a look.

Xie Chengli had never seen the wound, but the secret guard had actually seen it, "Master, I have seen this knife wound in the Jiangnan area, when I went there on a mission before, I met a group of people who were chased and killed on the road, and the knife wounds on those people were exactly the same as this one, and later as far as I know, the people who chased and killed them were people from the famous Lingxi Pavilion in the Jiangnan area, who specialized in taking on some assassination tasks, and they were also famous for their relatively high asking price and high degree of task completion." ”

"But why did the killer of Jiangnan appear in Kyoto? And since their bounty is not low, who would pay so much to assassinate a thief? Yan Feifei asked puzzled.

And others have no answer in their hearts.

"You put this body in the yamen and let them check it." Xie Chengli commanded.

"Yes, master."

Three days later.

In the harem, which has always been cold, today because Jiang Li's birthday is approaching, there are festive red ribbons hanging everywhere, and some palace maids and eunuchs who have been rewarded a lot are also full of happy smiles on their faces.

"What reward have you received today?" One of the palace maids asked her companion.

The companion smiled, "Today, the concubine gave me a pearl hairpin, I heard that it is from Fengxiang Tower." ”

"Really? That's the pearl hairpin of Fengxianglou, you are too lucky, the concubine is so generous, I really envy you for working in the concubine. ”

A smug smile also appeared on the companion's face, "The concubine is really good to us, she is not very easy to get angry on weekdays, and she is also very generous to us subordinates, no wonder the concubine has been favored by His Majesty for so long." ”

"Yes, it's Concubine De, Your Majesty only went once when she was poisoned last time, and she never stepped into his palace since, hey, it's really pitiful."

The companion hurriedly gagged her, "This kind of thing is also something we can say casually?" You don't want your head anymore? ”

"Why are you so daring? There's no one else here. ”

"Be careful that the wall has ears, and it's better to be cautious in this palace."

But the other maid didn't care at all.

Not long after they left, a person came out from behind the rockery not far from them, who was the concubine they called.

"Master, I'm going to have people beat those two tongue-chewing things to death with sticks! What is your identity? Dare to mess with the master of the harem here! Chunxiang said angrily.

The words of those two people just now were all heard by Concubine De, and in her ears, looking at Concubine De's ugly face, Chunxiang was very distressed.

Concubine Kede just sighed, "What they said is indeed the truth, Your Majesty has never come to see me since that time, and in this harem, the only favored person is Concubine Li...... No, the concubine is alone, let's go back. ”

Hearing Concubine De say this, not only did Chunxiang feel distressed, but the other palace maids and eunuchs also felt worthless for such a kind-hearted Concubine De.

Concubine De is gentle and kind, what is not as good as a concubine? Why does Your Majesty always fail to see their concubine?

After returning to Yufu Palace, Concubine De rubbed her temples and said a little tiredly: "Chunxiang, this palace is a little tired, you can wait here alone, let the others go down first." ”

"Yes, master."

After Haruka drove everyone else away, Concubine De's eyes changed, and the gentle and kind appearance just now no longer exists.

"Master, what should we do now? Originally, he was just a concubine, but now he has climbed on your head, you also saved the Queen Mother and almost lost your life, so you have your current status, but why is he a Jiang Li? ”

Speaking of this, Chunxiang was a little afraid, and she didn't know why her master had so much courage back then, if the knife deviated one point more, the gods would not be able to save it.

Concubine De smiled, "Don't forget, Jiang Li also saved His Majesty's life, it seems that the life of the Queen Mother is really not as good as Your Majesty's, Chunxiang, are the things you prepared ready?" Tomorrow is Jiang Li's birthday banquet, we want someone to shine. ”

"Master, don't worry, Chunxiang is already ready."

Choshin Hall.

"Sister He Meng, are you okay?" Yuan Liu saw He Meng fall to the ground and asked worriedly.

He Meng waved his hand and said: "I'm fine, it's okay, I can continue to practice, if I can make the concubine smile happily at her birthday banquet, even if I break my legs, it doesn't matter." ”

Yuan Liu wanted to vomit when he saw her so fake, but he still comforted: "Sister He Meng, because you were sick, you suffered so much in the South Courtyard, and you were even calculated by An Jieyu, even if this is the case, are you willing to do this for the concubine?" ”

He Meng nodded, "My life can be regarded as saved by His Majesty and his father-in-law, since the concubine Niangniang is the most favored woman in His Majesty's heart, if you can make the concubine Niangniang happy, presumably Your Majesty will also be happy, so I can be regarded as repaying Your Majesty's kindness." ”

Yuan Liu applauded her in his heart, this woman is really unusual, no wonder Sun Tong sent her into the palace.

He Meng touched her sprained foot.

In fact, He Meng's dancing skills are very good, even if he hasn't danced for a long time, he won't be easily injured, but this can make Yuan Liu feel more distressed, if he can say a few kind words in front of His Majesty, it would be even better.

Tomorrow is Jiang Li's birthday, and the ladies of each palace have prepared killer features, although it is not Yan Feifei's birthday, but if they can take advantage of this opportunity to make Yan Feifei look at it differently, it will not be in vain that they have been practicing hard.

And He Meng also felt that the pressure was doubled, she was not the only one who could dance, there was also An Jieyu, He Meng was going to give An Jieyu a good look this time!
