Chapter 794: Follow-up
"Don't rush yet." Xiao Ciyu shook his head, "I'll talk about this matter when the Queen Mother comes." β
He was not in a hurry to understand the things in his heart, and after giving Shen Lanxi a reassuring look, he turned his gaze to Bai Li again: "According to your meaning, what happened after Concubine Shu returned to the house in displeasure and separated you all?" β
"Yesβ" Bai Li hesitated.
For the word "branch", Bai Li instinctively resisted. She felt that her master had been killed, and His Majesty used the word "branch" to show that her master had done something by himself...
However, according to His Majesty's words, it is true.
If it weren't for the mother's saying that you are not allowed to go in and disturb before dinner, perhaps, this kind of thing would not have happened.
Bai Li's words and deeds, Xiao Ciyu saw them all.
He could guess what the other party was thinking in his heart at the moment.
Because of this, the thought that flashed through his mind before became clearer at this moment.
He thought, he might have figured out the other party's intentions.
After thinking for a moment, he asked again, "Are you sure that after you stepped back, Concubine Shu never summoned anyone again?" Or has anyone ever been in since you left? β
"This..."Bai Li hesitated, "After the slave and maid retreated, she specially instructed the people in the courtyard not to disturb the mother. They all know the temper of the mother, and they won't take the initiative to disturb it. But if the mother has orders in private, the slave and maid don't know..."
"Then ask people to come in one by one and ask." Xiao Ciyu looked sideways at Concubine Ning, "Arrange for people outside to come in one by one to tell what they saw today, and then send someone to Yanshou Palace and ask the Queen Mother to come over." β
"Invite the Queen Mother now?" Concubine Ning frowned.
In her opinion, the matter has not been clarified yet, and it is really inappropriate to invite the Queen Mother over.
But Xiao Ciyu nodded firmly: "Well, let's call someone over first." I already have a guess in my heart about what is going on, but I still need to check the details with the Queen Mother before I can make a conclusion. β
"Are you guessing?" Concubine Ning glanced at Xiao Ciyu in surprise.
Asked so far, there is no other clue except for knowing Concubine Shu's itinerary today and the approximate time of death, but he said that he knows it in his heart?
It's inevitable...
Concubine Ning felt that Xiao Ciyu's words were suspicious, but after frowning, she still did what he wanted.
She, the junior brother, is still reliable in other places except for being clumsy in pursuing girls. What's more, this matter is related to Lan Xi, and he will definitely not mess around.
Soon, Concubine Ning made arrangements according to Xiao Ciyu's instructions.
The palace people in Yutang Palace entered the palace one after another to tell Xiao Ciyu about the situation.
After they finished speaking, Concubine Ning sent someone to invite the maid and the queen mother also arrived one after another.
"Emperor, what's going on?!" The Queen Mother held Aunt Liu's hand and walked quickly to Xiao Ciyu's side, "Why did Concubine Shu suddenly die?!" β
Rao was accustomed to seeing the wind and rain, and suddenly saw the person who was still standing in front of him alive for a day dead, and the color of the queen still couldn't stop changing.
Compared with her, Xiao Ciyu, who has been here for a long time, is obviously much calmer.
Handed the Queen Mother a look of calm and calm, he beckoned, and took the lead in summoning him: "What's going on, it's not too late for us to talk about it later." For now, let's take a look at the cause of death first. β
The Queen Mother frowned slightly, but looking at the servant who was already standing beside Concubine Shu, she still nodded with a calm face.
