Mama Xin died under the eyes of a physician and several palace people.

The death was tragic, and the seven orifices were bleeding.

The emperor was furious, and let all the personnel who had been in contact with Mama Xin in Jinyi be brought to interrogate overnight, and after tossing all night, those palace people were beaten to the point that they only had one breath left, and they couldn't ask for a clue.

This matter was put on hold, and the faces of the emperor and queen were long.

Whose hand did it?

The queen thought that Liu Guifei was the most suspicious, so she arranged for someone to secretly stare at Liu Guifei.

The emperor thought more, what kind of ability did the person behind this person have to go through the sky, and he could kill Mama Xin in his palace under the noses of so many people.

This time it's just a stupid mother who died, so what if the person who wants to kill next time is himself?

The more the emperor thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he felt that his neck was a little cold, so he sent twice as many dragon guards on the surface, and secretly arranged another wave of shadow guards to protect himself at any time.

At the same time, he also asked Jinyiwei to step up his investigation in the palace and find out the real culprit.

The atmosphere in the harem was very tense, and all the concubines closed their respective palace gates, and even dared not go to the imperial garden.

But the queen did as usual, what she had to do, and she had to take care of the palace banquet tomorrow night.

Taking advantage of this reason, the queen recruited Lin Ruan into the palace and told her the news of Mama Xin's death, "There is no clue at all now, the palace called you here to breathe with you, and you should pay more attention to your safety outside the palace these days." ”

Lin Ruan was called into the palace as soon as she got up early in the morning, so she hadn't had time to ask her little eyeliner with her abilities.

She was also surprised to hear the news.

Is Liu Guifei a mad ball?

didn't kill Mama Xin once, but she dared to poison her for the second time, and it was under the nose of the imperial doctor, how did she do it?

Doesn't this make it clear that there must be a master behind Liu Guifei.

Lin Ruan looked at the queen's somewhat headache and comforted: "Don't worry, the queen mother, there are a lot of people around me, and I am safe." You and your father should also be careful in the palace, that person is hiding in the shadows, and it is likely that he has been hiding in the palace for a long time. ”

The empress and the emperor also thought of this, so they attached great importance to it.

Think about how they can rest assured that there is a great threat hidden in their own territory, and that they have probably already grasped their situation clearly, and that they do not find that person.

Lin Ruan stayed in the palace for a while, then said goodbye to the queen and went outside the palace.

Before he walked to the palace gate, Lin Ruan already knew who was the person who killed Mama Xin last night.

It turned out to be a sprinkling maid in the queen's palace.

Lin Ruan was quite surprised.

This Liu Guifei is really a powerful person, and she even has her people by the queen's side.

And this is a brilliant idea.

After all, in the matter of Mama Xin, the most suspicious person is Liu Guifei. Princess Changle and the Empress will be suspicious of her, and others will naturally be suspicious as well. All eyes will be on her, especially the queen.

No one would have thought that the murderer was hiding by the queen's side.

In this way, even if the queen turns the entire palace upside down, it is impossible to find the murderer.

Even if it is found, the person is from the queen's palace, and it has nothing to do with Liu Guifei. At that time, the queen herself was covered with mouths and couldn't explain clearly.

This trick is really high.

It is more subtle than the trick that Liu Guifei's mother and son calculated her before.

But what is the purpose of Liu Guifei's this?

Killing Mama Xin can be understood as her fear of exposing herself, but she can use Mama Xin to provoke her dissatisfaction with the emperor, and then what?

It can't be said that it is simply blocked, although Liu Guifei must hate herself, but she is a smart person, it is impossible to take such a big risk to make such a big move, just to disgust her.

Therefore, Liu Guifei must have other purposes.

Lin Ruan couldn't figure it out, so he let his eyeliner keep an eye on Liu Guifei all the time.

As for the palace maid beside the queen, she also had to find a way to hint at the prince.

It is difficult to guarantee that Liu Guifei will not attack the queen.

After such a incident, the atmosphere in the palace was tense, and the palace banquet the next day made those concubines straighten their nerves, for fear that they would be poisoned by someone spilling wine on the meal.

The queen naturally thought of this, and originally wanted to discuss with the emperor to cancel the palace banquet, but the emperor said:

"Historically, after the palace banquet is decided, there is no reason to cancel it casually. Originally, this matter was deliberately trying to provoke the relationship between the royal family and Ah Ruan, and they were even ready to wait for the palace to announce the cancellation of the palace banquet, and they were ready to spread it everywhere. Therefore, the palace banquet must be held as scheduled. Besides, it's just a grandmother who dies, and it's not necessarily too much to give face to the person in the dark. ”

So the palace banquet was held as scheduled.

After thinking about it, a few timid and cautious concubines ran to say goodbye to the queen, saying that they were unwell and did not want to attend.

The queen said with a cold face: "Do you have an opinion on the emperor and the palace, or do you have an opinion on the princess who protects the country?" ”

The concubines all shrank their heads: "The concubines don't dare." ”

The queen's cold eyes swept over several people: "A shady Xiaoxiao can also scare you into such virtues, if it spreads, how will people think of my Great Zhou royal family!" It is said that tonight's palace banquet has been arranged very properly, and there will be no mistakes, even if tonight is a sea of swords, you have to attend, otherwise, don't be afraid that the palace will not give you face! This is also what the emperor meant. ”

Now the concubines didn't dare to speak, so they honestly went back and prepared not to mention it.

Lin Ruan packed up in the mansion early, put on her princess court clothes, and entered the palace in a carriage.

She is now a princess, and she doesn't have to walk anymore to enter the palace.

Seriously, don't look at her physical strength, but walking with a head of pearl jewelry weighing more than ten pounds is really not a taste of being top-heavy.

After entering the palace, she first went to Cining Palace and asked the Queen Mother for peace.

The Queen Mother is old, and although the fall injury half a year ago was healed, it had a great impact on her, and she has been carefully raised for half a year.

Seeing Lin Ruan dressed in a princess dress, she smiled kindly, "Come over and let the imperial grandmother take a good look." ”

Lin Ruan walked up to her and sat down.

The Queen Mother talked about Mama Xin: "Your father will definitely find out about this matter, and when the time comes, he will find out the scourge behind it." Don't take it to heart, your father and mother have absolutely no intention of stuffing people into your house to control you. ”

Lin Ruan smiled: "The imperial grandmother doesn't have to worry, the granddaughter won't think much about it." ”

The Queen Mother smiled and nodded: "That's good, you are a smart person, and you have a reputation in your heart." ”

As she spoke, the Queen Mother suddenly turned red again.

Lin Ruan was taken aback: "What's wrong with the imperial grandmother?" But what's uncomfortable? ”
