Incense has never been burned in Changxin Garden, and it has always been a light incense before, but today I smell a faint smell of herbs, not the pungent smell of smoky medicine, but it smells very refreshing.

When the curtain was lifted, he saw that the food was being placed on the table, Shen Tingnian approached the table and personally served the soup for the night, "Your Highness, this is a concubine...... It's from the Imperial Dining Room, you can taste it. ”

Holding the celadon bowl in his hand, the soup in the bowl looked bland, Pu Yangxu took it without hesitation, scooped the silver spoon, and drank half a mouthful, he didn't have eaten the barley soup, but this soup was a special taste, "It tastes good, but it is a taste I have never tasted." ”

"Your Highness likes it."

Shen Tingnian picked up another bowl of soup and drank it, taking small sips, the action was very light, and it took half a sound before he realized that something was wrong, and when he raised his eyes, he looked at Pu Yangxu's deep gaze, with a little glittering color that she couldn't understand, and when she wanted to study it carefully, only her familiar smile remained.

She blinked, lowered her eyes slightly to look at the empty bowl on the table, and secretly said that the soup was good.

Separated by a door in the inner room, and a beaded curtain through the hall, Xu Yan led a few palace maids and eunuchs to wait, and the two palace maids of Changxinyuan, Min Yun and Yue Zhu, who were usually waiting opposite them.

At this time, I couldn't hear any movement, Xu Xian was a little relaxed, what others couldn't detect, he felt deeply, Pu Yangxu was not happy, he couldn't be even more happy.

"I just saw that the little eunuch who ran errands had bad legs and feet, was he punished?"

The little eunuch who ran errands in Changxinyuan did have an argument with other people in the palace, and was beaten by someone who blocked his head in the room with his head covered.

He obviously asked at Yuezhu, and with his experience of going back and forth to Changxinyuan many times, he knew that Min Yun didn't talk much.

"This ......" Yue Zhu looked at him embarrassed, "Father-in-law Xu, Niangniang has instructed not to say much, and please don't embarrass us." ”

"You and I are both serving our masters, so our family naturally understands." Xu Xian sighed lightly, "It's not easy. ”

Min Yun next to him just didn't hear it, and didn't react at all.

Xu Xi understands, this Shen Jieyu ...... The servants in the courtyard were bullied, and they didn't even have to make trouble after suffering such a big crime in the previous miscarriage, which shows that they have a deep affection for the prince, and would rather be wronged than cause trouble to the prince.

He asked a few more questions, and Yue Zhu stumbled over, not mentioning the rumors he heard during the day, but on the whole, Changxinyuan was not in trouble.

After finishing the meal, Pu Yangxu was just about to catch Shen Tingnian's hand when there was movement outside.

"Your Highness, the Provincial Government has come to report that the bundle of Yongxiang has died." Xu Xiangang received the news, walked in, and reported in a low voice.

"Bunching clothes?" Pu Yangxu didn't remember who it was for a while.

"Your Highness, Shu changed clothes and ......" Xu Xian glanced at Shen Tingnian and said, "The Shu family's concubine who rushed into Shen Jieyu's Shu family......"

He wouldn't be stupid enough to mention a miscarriage.

Pu Yangxu naturally understood it, and he also remembered, he nodded, and only said, "Burial as usual." ”

I didn't even want to ask how the change of clothes died, it can be seen that he really didn't want to see him, Shen Tingnian saw the opportunity on the side, but when he raised his eyes, he saw that Min Yun at the door curtain had a different complexion, and winked at her.

"The people in the provincial government said to put on clothes...... It's not normal to die. And also found something suspicious......"

After Xu Yan finished speaking, Pu Yangxu looked unhappy and said lightly: "Let the crown princess watch and deal with such trivial matters." ”

Shen Tingnian secretly thought that this matter was not simple, but because Pu Yangxu was there, she could only look indifferent.

Until Pu Yangxu bathed and changed clothes, she thought she could have a moment of leisure, but she was dragged in by him to serve, and there was no chance after that.

Early in the morning, she woke up late, ready to let Yuezhu wait for her makeup, and went to Zhao Jingyi to ask for peace, when she heard Mama Liu's anxious voice, she opened the curtain of the tent and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Yuezhu, who was waiting in the inner room, immediately came to put on embroidered shoes for Shen Tingnian.

"Niangniang, the eunuch of Kunning Palace is here, and the queen has sent a message to summon you." When Mama Liu saw that she had finally woken up, her complexion softened.

"The slave inquired and said that the bundle of Yongxiang was gone. The discovery of suspicious things in the provincial mansion, the death of the person is unknown......" Mama Liu's words stopped abruptly, as if she thought of something, her face changed greatly, "It won't be looking for a mother......"

"Mama Liu," Min Yun happened to come in with the bead curtain, carrying a bowl of soup and medicine, and scolded in a deep voice, "Don't mess around." ”

Shen Tingnian stretched out his arms so that Yue Zhu could put on her coat for her, lowered his eyes to look at the tunic pleated Luo skirt on his body, which had been served many times, and raised his eyes to look at Yue Zhu with a little satisfaction, the latter got up to tie her belt just in time for Shen Tingnian's gentle smile, his face was slightly confused, and he hurriedly lowered his head.

And Min Yun had already approached with the bowl, "Niangniang, this medicine has simmered ginseng soup, and I drank it first to pad my stomach, it is not bitter." ”

"Mama Liu, you go outside and tell the prince that the master has just risen, let him go back to Kunning Palace first, and we will arrive later."

Shen Tingnian barely drank half a bowl, Min Yun and Yue Zhu curled her hair left and right, and obliquely inserted a hairpin inlaid with pearls and jade, and nothing else.

"Later, I went to Kunning Palace, and asked Xiao Xizi to go for a walk outside the prince's bedroom, don't go in, just stroll."

At this time, Pu Yangxu has not yet descended to the court, but it is almost fast.

Min Yun hadn't thought about this, and couldn't help but be convinced.

Walking to the outer hall, Shen Tingnian saw that the eunuch of Kunning Palace, Wang Gonggong, was still standing, and thought that things were not simple.

"The slave asked Shen Jieyu to say goodbye." The princess was a little unhappy with the others, but when he saw Shen Tingnian's simple appearance, he must have come out in a hurry, and his face was slightly better, "The queen mother asked Shen Jieyu to go to Kunning Palace for questioning, and please go with the slaves." ”

###

"Shen Jieyu has arrived."

With the sound of the news, the woman who entered everyone's sight, with light makeup and a slightly panicked expression, hurried in. Shen Tingnian raised his eyes and bowed: "The concubine has seen the queen's mother." ”

The queen on the main seat, one left and one right sitting concubine, such as a concubine, and there are also many people sitting at the bottom, when she comes to Kunning Palace to see this scene when she listens to the training, it is not strange, but today, she glanced at Zhao Jingyi, who was not very good, and it was really for her.

The queen shouted, motioned to the eunuch waiting next to her to step forward with a tray, and slowly spoke: "Shen Jieyu, yesterday the provincial government came to report that the bundle of Yongxiang was dead, and something suspicious was found. ”

Shen Tingnian looked at the tray, and there was a piece of rice paper in it, and a few lines of Juanxiu small characters arranged in the book were not very neat, which was her leisure practice.

The font is a little blurry, and the whole piece of rice paper is not wrinkled.

"Shu Changyi was choked by the throat and suffocated, and this thing was found from her." When the queen saw that she understood, she took a sip of tea, as if to explain the time to her.

Since they have summoned her for questioning, they must all know that this is hers, so Shen Tingnian admitted calmly: "Back to the queen's mother, this trace is indeed that of a concubine." ”

Without waiting for the queen to ask again, she stepped forward and pointed to the tray and said, "The concubine doesn't go out all day long to write and paint, and I don't know how many pieces of manuscript paper are lost." ”

When she saw this manuscript paper for the first time, she was also a little shocked, Changxinyuan's things can flow outside, it must be which palace has two hearts.

But it would be too hasty to ask her for guilt with this piece of paper.

Shen Tingnian's obviously innocent attitude made Concubine Jing chuckle lightly, on the contrary, the concubine was still gentle and soft, and her eyes looked at Shen Tingnian as if she had seen her for the first time, and she was a little more friendly and generous than the queen.

The queen glanced at Shen Tingnian, as if she had expected it, raised her hand, and saw a palace maid brought in by the princess, everyone looked sideways, Shen Tingnian felt that he had never seen it.

"Slave Ah Yue, beg the queen to give justice to my master," she couldn't come in and salute, so she knelt down and cried directly, "Although my master is detained and has a low status, he is also a living person." ”

The queen frowned slightly, the people of this Shu family just don't know the etiquette, the slave is like this, and the master is no better, Zhao Jingyi saw the queen's expression, so she said: "This is Kunning Palace, talk well, you have been waiting by Shu Changyi's side, tell me what happened to her." ”

Ah Yue trembled uncontrollably, didn't dare to cry anymore, and said as it was, "Since he was detained in Yongxiang, the master has begun to be delirious, he doesn't dare to go out during the day, he doesn't dare to sleep at night, and the good people are suddenly gone...... The slave went out to eat, and when she came back, she found ......"

"Master, she was killed, Queen Mother, you must thoroughly investigate the murderer."

Hearing this, Shen Tingnian pursed his eyebrows, and then said with a sigh of relief: "Changxinyuan can testify that during these days, the concubine did not go out except to ask the princess for peace. ”

"My master was wronged at all, on the third day of her detention, what did you do to my little master by letting the maid come?" Ah Yue turned her head and stared at Shen Tingnian hatefully, "If it weren't for your repeated coercion, how would she not dare to redress her grievances, how could she be delirious and talk nonsense...... How could he be killed inexplicably? If this matter has nothing to do with you, why did the master hide this piece of paper in the palm of his hand before he died?! ”

A series of questions pointed out that Shen Jieyu was a murderer, Ah Yue's excitement and resentment were not like acting, could it really be Shen Jieyu? Everyone's eyes were on Shen Tingnian, with a little doubt in their eyes.

"After being detained...... I didn't ask the maid to go to her. Shen Tingnian showed a pale face at the right time, "I also hope that the queen will see that the concubine will not harm people's lives." ”

That night, she asked Min Yun to find Shu Youlian, in order to ask her who else was involved in the death of Zhiya, and Shu Youlian's temperament would not be hidden in that situation, but Shu Youlian was mentally disordered and had nothing to say, and Min Yun did not get useful information.

Although this matter is to avoid people's eyes and ears, she has long been mentally prepared, but now that Shu Youlian is dead, she can only clear it up to the end.

Shu Youlian was killed, and as a person who had a holiday with her, she was naturally the biggest suspect, not to mention that something related to her was also discovered.

"You have your own opinions on this matter, and there is no evidence," the queen did not slow down, and her mouth was gentle, "Shen Jieyu is suspicious of this matter, if this palace wants to believe you, you must also say convincing reasons." ”

This matter can be big or small, the prince didn't care about Shu Youlian's death at all, it can be said that he didn't frown, and handing it over to the princess is tantamount to a trivial matter.

But this matter has caused trouble to the queen, and the queen's attitude at this time has also made everyone speculate a little, and the queen does not want Shen Tingnian to admit his guilt.

"The concubine didn't know anything about the death of the bundle change, someone framed the concubine." Shen Tingnian looked at the queen fixedly, and hesitated about the other party's attitude.

"Shen Jieyu thinks who is framing you?"

Concubine Jing suddenly sat up straight, her eyes were full of smiles, compared to the queen's grace and dignity, such as the elegance and gentleness of the concubine, among the thousands of charming beauties, she was particularly casual and enchanting, Shen Tingnian sighed in his heart, this person looked enchanting, and heard that his temperament was extremely arrogant.
