The heat was smoking, Shen Tingnian soaked in the herb bath bucket, motionless, she clearly didn't like Min Yun at all, so she attributed all her emotions to the embarrassment of not being able to protect the people around her, since entering the palace, she has never sought a confidant, and everyone who takes the initiative to serve, she will attribute it to the Shen family...... At this time, I can relax and lie on my back and take a hot bath, and it will not be uncomfortable slowly.

"Mother, are you alright? Beware of the cold water...... "Yuezhu was guarding outside the roller blind, and there was a large screen in the middle, painting a beautiful landscape.

Shen Tingnian didn't pay attention, closed his eyes to recuperate, and then the next moment his bare arm noticed a trace of coolness, and when he opened his eyes, the inner room was empty, and the window was closed, how could he feel that there was a wind blowing?

Suspiciously, I heard the bead curtain jingling, and the sound of footsteps started, "Niangniang, the word has been passed from Kunning Palace, and the murderer who murdered the clothes has been found." ”

Mama Liu didn't come in, she said this through the screen, and guarded with Yuezhu, who was waiting with dry clothes on the side.

"Who is it?"

"It was said that it was a maid who used to change her clothes, and she murdered her master together with Ah Yue."

Shen Tingnian frowned, Ah Yue, the palace maid, could withstand it for three days without a move, obviously torture was not the key to priing her mouth open, and Min Yun ...... Even if she knew that the Punishment Division would definitely spare her life under the orders of the prince, she must have suffered a lot this time.

"Come in."

Shen Ting walked out of the inner compartment with a refreshing body, changed into a pink thin shirt, and his cheeks were slightly red, which was no different from usual.

"Niangniang, the imperial dining room has sent a new nourishing soup, do you want to try it?"

Mama Liu instructed the palace maid to bring in a bowl of steaming soup, and the sun was already out outside, making the little palace maid's face red.

Shen Tingnian glanced at the soup bowl in her hand and shook her head, it was still hot this day, and she didn't sweat after eating the hot soup, so she finally took a shower to keep it dry and comfortable.

"A cold bowl?"

Yue Zhu wiped the ends of her hair that was wet with hot water for her, and asked out loud, but she was aware of Shen Tingnian's thoughts.

Speaking of which Min Yun is not there, this person can be regarded as the great palace maid of Changxin Garden, and even Mama Liu is sometimes willing to listen to her advice, let alone others.

Sometimes it's hard to judge the other party's true ability just by looking at a person's appearance and personality, Yuezhu is not too smart at a young age, and he will hide and behave.

Mama Liu was stunned for a moment, as if she was a little embarrassed, "Niangniang, your little life has only been a few days, and the cold soup ......"

Shen Tingnian was amused by her expression and wanted to laugh, these days because she was ordered to close the hospital and other news, how could she be relaxed and happy, and now she has to start to struggle with it in order for her to drink a mouthful of soup.

"Niangniang, the Hu servant of Yanxiu Palace asked to see him, but he refused to leave ......"

Xiao Xizi probed her brain in the outer room, and when she saw Shen Tingnian dressed properly, she asked out loud, "Why don't you send her away again?" ”

Hu Yuchun has been waiting for a long time, but Changxinyuan is closed in accordance with Yiyi's order, and the prince has abided by the rules for a few days. What is it for her to wait a little longer, she is afraid that no matter how long she waits, she will not be able to see the talent.

After the hot tea cooled and changed, and changed and cooled for several waves, Shen Tingnian came out in the end.

Undressed, born beautiful, but also spiritual, seeing Hu Yuchun smiled slightly, the latter got up to greet him, and couldn't hide his eagerness, "You didn't be embarrassed when you went to Kunning Palace, right?" ”

Shen Tingnian opened his lips and said lightly: "No." ”

Hu Yuchun moved his lips, swallowed what he wanted to say, stepped forward and took Shen Tingnian's hand without saying anything, and said with concern: "That's good, I heard the news...... I was really shocked. ”

Shen Tingnian looked at it in his eyes, and he was silent, and she also held her hand affectionately, as if she was close to her sisters. Hu Yuchun tried to ask: "The matter of tying up and changing clothes was originally her own sin, everyone saw it in their eyes and remembered it in their hearts, this matter can also be innocently climbed on your head, who framed you?" ”

Shen Tingnian couldn't help but smile and pulled out his hand, "Just say what you want to ask." ”

turned around and sat down by herself, and didn't look at Hu Yuchun's eyes full of eagerness, the relationship between the two was not good enough for her to be considerate of each other, there were no friends for no reason in this palace, and there were no sudden enemies, she would not refuse to show favor to others, but it didn't mean that she really confessed.

Hu Yuchun's heart was cold, and when she noticed the change in her attitude, she was stunned on the spot, and then she smiled bitterly and said: "I won't hide it from you, it's because the palace maid who was convicted of being an accomplice has been serving by my side these days, and she ...... I had to suffer a little when I was waiting for her to change clothes, but I sympathized with her plight and accepted it......"

It was the combing palace maid who was smashed by Shu Youlian with a cup to bleed.

This happened so incredible, it is normal for a slave to implicate the master, Hu Yuchun's position is low, and anyone who steps on it is unable to resist, she is naturally afraid of being implicated.

"It is impossible for the queen to take people for no reason, there must be a basis." Shen Tingnian pretended to know about the incident, and kindly reminded, "You must not be in a hurry and lose your proportion." ”

Hu Yuchun's eyes darkened, but he also sank his heart, so he smoothed out the matter and said it all over.

It turned out that Shu Youlian was killed on the night of the murder, and the palace maids around her were beaten up and ran out, except for Na A Yue's loyal guard, others didn't want to serve the delirious Shu Youlian for a long time, and those who were punished and detained like her could not have room to turn over, most of them were the end of the old death palace, and many palace people who were slaves and bullies would abuse them in turn, which is not a secret.

I don't know what happened, Ah Yue went out, Shu Youlian died, she was suffocated to death, and the rumor that spread in private in the palace may be the slave of Yongxiang, after all, this Shu Youlian has been locked up for several days, and I haven't seen any action from the Shu family, so I thought she was abandoned.

"I happened to be unwell that night, so I asked Aunt Si Yao to take a look, but I didn't think that Ah Ling had been out for a long time and didn't invite anyone." Hu Yuchun spoke with resentment, if it weren't for her low position, she wouldn't have a palace maid by her side, and then fainted in pain, and when she woke up, only Ah Ling cried and cried to guard her, and after she relieved herself, she heard that Shu Youlian was dead, reported to the provincial mansion, and then asked the imperial doctor to check it according to the palace rules.

The fact that she let the maid out at night was nothing in the first place, and it was over when she revealed it. Who knew that now the queen has tried all the people that night, and the crime will fall on Ah Ling.

"Are you sure Ah Ling went to the pharmacy that night?" Shen Tingnian's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he suddenly remembered that Ah Yue, the palace maid of Shu Youlian in Kunning Palace, had accused her of a few words, and at that time, her mind was focused on defending herself, and she didn't think about it, and Shu Youlian was delirious, talking nonsense, and was killed inexplicably after being detained...... Why did you forget the phrase gibberish!

"This ...... What do you mean by that? Hu Yuchun was puzzled, but said in a firm tone, "Ah Ling will never hide and deceive me." ”

Shen Tingnian was noncommittal, but he had a measure in his heart, "Shu Changyi is dead, why doesn't anyone suspect Chen Chongrong?" ”

Chen Yuyi was controlled by Shu Youlian when she was the concubine of the grandson, and she almost forgot about this character.

Hu Yuchun frowned, a little late to react, and also felt surprised, "You don't know, Chen Chongrong heard that after Shu Yiyi was suffocated to death, she was scared sick...... I'm still unconscious. ”

Shen Tingnian's impression is that Chen Yuyi is indeed a weak and cowardly person, but he is scared alive? Unconscious...... It's hard to understand.

"Mother, it's time for you to rest."

Seeing that Shen Tingnian's face was gloomy and his spirit was not good, Yue Zhu reminded him from the side.

Seeing the opportunity, Hu Yuchun hurriedly took another big step forward, and was extremely earnest: "I know that it is really inappropriate to ask for a meeting rashly, but I am in danger now, and I hope that Shen Jieyu can ......" The unfinished words swallowed again, because she clearly saw Shen Tingnian frowning, looking embarrassed, and then thinking that it was indeed embarrassing for her to ask for someone like this, after all, although Shen Tingnian was favored, his current situation was not face-to-face, and it was even more difficult to speak.

After all, she herself escaped from the suspect.

"Ah Ling is innocent," Hu Yuchun suddenly straightened up and made the last effort, "Although I am soft-spoken, I know how to report Entu." ”

Shen Tingnian blinked, thought for a while, and said bluntly: "Since I saw you today and heard what I said, I have to tell you a word or two. ”

Chaoyue Zhu nodded, and the latter retreated willingly, leading the other palace attendants to retreat.

"Do you know that Shu Youlian's fist and foot kung fu is not weaker than ordinary men." Shen Tingnian smiled a little coldly, "How could she be suffocated to death by a few minions?" ”

"There are only two possibilities, someone died for her, and someone killed her with the right medicine."

Hu Yuchun was shocked when he heard this, and looked at her with wide eyes, "You mean...... Is it possible that she didn't die? ”

It is not enough for Hu Yuchun to be born in the harem, but his father has the name of showing talent, because he is also full of poetry and books, and he was famous when he was a beauty when he entered the palace, so she woke up after listening to Shen Tingnian's words.

'Dead' people must have a murderer, the maid next to Shu Youlian was the best murderer, in addition to being clean, completely erasing the traces of her past, as if she had never existed in this palace.

"Either way, it's not something we can control, the water here is very deep."

Shen Tingnian also thought that there might be someone hiding in this game, Chen Yuyi's unconscious is the best explanation, this person has been showing weakness and lingering beside Shu Youlian, who would have thought that she would also kill someone if she stretched out her claws.

Looking at Shen Tingnian, who was smiling but indifferent in his eyes, Hu Yuchun was really afraid of this person.

Last year, she had witnessed the prince's eyes looking at Shen Tingnian in the crowd, and she knew that this person was not an idle person, so she was determined that she would no longer expect to be favored by the prince, she wanted to find a solid and reliable tree to bear the shade and find another way out.

Shen Tingnian is the big tree she chose.

Hu Yuchun still maintained this hope when he came, and when he left, he looked confused and walked unsteadily.

Shen Tingnian closed her eyes, she was very weak, she was not sure if Ah Ling was innocent, it was certain that no one could save her, then she would be the murderer.

If you talk about this game of chess, you don't even know who the opponent is, where is it possible to win.

In the evening, news came out that Ah Ling and Ah Yue were both dead, and it was said that they committed suicide in fear of sin.

Shen Tingnian listened to the news, drank the porridge silently, and what sounded in his mind was Min Yun's words: "Please keep this displeasure, it is the slave's wish." ”

Behind those young lives that have been lost...... Will there be people who remain indifferent and disliked, and she thinks of the branches that are about to be forgotten, and the emotions are as shallow as she is, and how long will it be completely forgotten.
