Lin Mumu then looked at Hongyun again. "She was on duty last night?"

Hongyun shook his head, there were two third-class palace maids on duty last night, and the palace maid who died also returned to her room early to rest after Zhao Qingyan rested last night.

"Where's the guy on duty last night?"

"The slaves are here." The two palace maids hurriedly knelt down in front of Lin Mumu.

"What suspicious movements did you hear last night?"

Because it was too cold outside at night, the two palace maids were keeping vigil in the house last night, and they were so sleepy in the second half of the night that they didn't notice the movement outside.

"County Lord, the eldest prince has arrived."

"Please come in, the eldest prince."

"Yes."

Before the words fell, Nangong Zun, who was wearing a big fur, walked in.

When he saw the corpse in the room, he couldn't bear to look away. "The main hall heard that something happened to you here early in the morning, why did this person die well?"

As soon as Nangong Zun sat down, the palace maid came up with hot tea.

Nangong Zun took a sip of hot tea and took a sip, and his body warmed up.

"Your Highness has anyone in his hands who can perform an autopsy to see how people died."

"Frozen to death." Nangong Zun glanced at the corpse and said.

Lin Mumu raised his eyebrows at him, and after a glance, he concluded that the person was frozen to death, isn't it too unrigorous?

Nangong Zun tugged at the corners of his mouth. "The person who froze to death has seen too many people in this hall, and it is exactly like her."

Just now she briefly checked the corpse, and determined that there were no obvious external injuries on her body, and there were no signs of poisoning in her body, and when she died, her hands were clasped around her chest, and her whole body showed a state of warming contraction, and the possibility of freezing to death was indeed very high.

"People should sleep well in the house at night, how can they run outside and freeze to death? Who else lives in her house? ”

A palace maid kneeling on the ground responded when she heard this: "Back to the county lord, Xi'er is in the same room with the slave maid, and the slave and maid were on duty last night, and I don't know when Xi'er came out of the house." ”

"It's better to leave this matter to Xi Chu, you won't be able to find out the reason for a while."

Lin Mumu looked at Zhao Qingyan, it was her person who died, and she still had to let her decide.

Zhao Qingyan was already stupid at this moment, she just wanted to carry Xi'er's body away quickly, she was so scared when she saw it, where did she still want to find out the truth.

"Everything is arranged by the eldest prince alone."

As soon as Nangong Zun waved his hand, a guard came in and carried the body away.

"The palace saw that the tenth princess didn't sleep well last night, why don't you go back to rest for a while?"

Thinking that there were dead people in this courtyard, Zhao Qingyan was uncomfortable. "Ben, Princess Ben thinks that the palace yesterday was good, hurry, quickly pack up and go over there."

Lin Mumu didn't care about her, and let her go.

Nangong Zun looked at Zhao Qingyan's back and sighed. "As far as you ten princesses, I dare to guarantee that you will not survive a pack of cigarettes in the Xichu harem."

Lin Mumu raised her eyelids and touched the teacup in her hand, and when she picked it up and was about to drink it, she found that the tea was cold.

"Looks like someone is giving you a kick." Nangong Zun looked at Lin Mumu with a smile.

Lin Mumu put down the teacup in his hand and looked at him. "You think this is against me?"

Nangong Zun raised his eyebrows noncommittally.

"That stupid lack has an enemy in Xichu?"

Zhao Qingyan had no contact with Xichu before, let alone any enemies.

If you want to talk about enemies, she must have one.

"Nangong Allure."

"County Lord, Princess Crescent Moon asked someone to send a box of things, saying that it was a meeting gift for the county lord." Stacked on top of each other in the doorway.

Lin Mumu and Nangong Zun glanced at each other, and asked Diedie to call people in.

Nangong Zun didn't avoid it, and the palace maid came in and saw Nangong Zun also sitting in the room and was slightly stunned, but she quickly recovered her normal color and stepped forward to greet Lin Mumu.

"The princess said that she got along with the county lord very happily in Xijing, and now that the county lord has arrived in the royal capital, the princess should give the county lord a meeting gift as a landlord, and ask the county lord to smile."

Lin Mumu looked at the box in the palace maid's hand and smiled. "Princess Crescent Moon really has a heart, thank you princess for the lord of this county."

Stacked up and took the brocade box in the hand of the palace maid.

The palace maid retreated slightly.

After she left, Lin Mumu motioned to open the brocade box.

Stacking nodded, opening the brocade box, but his face changed when he saw the contents of the brocade box.

"County lord." Diedie sent the brocade box to Lin Mumu.

Lin Mumu lowered her eyes and took a look.

"It's an empty box."

"County Lord, what does this Crescent Moon Princess mean?"

"Isn't this an empty box, don't you see a dead ant in it?"

Stacking looked down, and there was indeed a dead ant inside.

Nangong Zun leaned back in the chair. "Isn't that clear enough about what it means? The greeting gift has not already been given. ”

I still don't quite understand.

Lin Mumu's eyes flashed with coldness. "Xi'er, it's the meeting gift that Nangong Allure gave me!" Asking someone to send an empty box over was just to remind her that it was easier for her to kill her in the royal capital than to kill an ant!

Diedie's face turned cold. "Xi'er was killed by Nangong Allure!"

There is no need to examine the corpse, Nangong Allure dares to tell her so blatantly, she must be completely prepared.

This daughter took revenge on her for the sake of revenge, she was so vicious!

"The county lord will stay in the royal capital for a few days, will this Nangong Allure take the opportunity to attack the county lord?"

"Of course she will, she hates to break me to pieces."

"Don't worry, in the master's territory, there is a master covering you, Nangong Allure is just a stinky girl who can't get on the stage, and I don't take her in my eyes."

Lin Mumu raised her eyebrows and looked at him.

"I heard that the power of the eldest prince's mother clan is weak and not favored by Emperor Jiahe, it seems that this thing I heard is not very reliable."

Yesterday, looking at the appearance of Nangong Zun getting along with Emperor Jiahe, it is not like what an unfavored prince can do.

Nangong Zun laughed disappreciably.

"Don't understand, do you? There are many things you don't understand, so wait and see slowly, that old fat man is not a fool. ”

Nangong Zun came over today to take Lin Mumu to the royal capital, but Lin Mumu refused, and Nangong Zun left a little disappointed.

"If you have anything to say, I look uncomfortable with that expression like holding urine."

Stacked and stunned raised her head to look at Lin Mumu, and soon she lowered her head again. "Slave maid, there is nothing to ask, no matter what the county lord does or what the slave and maid do, there is a certain reason......

"Okay, what are you doing, are you curious about the relationship between me and Nangong Zun?"

After a while, he nodded honestly.

When she was in Xijing, it was not too obvious, at that time she thought that Lin Mumu and Nangong Zun were incompatible, but after leaving Xijing, she felt that Lin Mumu seemed to be very familiar with Nangong Zun, like a friend who had known each other for many years, where did she look like an enemy.

Lin Mumu touched his nose and said, "You should also know that your county lord is very powerful, and I saved him once on the way to Xichu before." ”

Stacked and slightly surprised, the reason why Lin Mumu returned to Xichu with Nangong Zun last time was because the two fought......

"The conflict between the county lord and the eldest prince ...... before"

"Yes, he cooperated with me in acting in order to repay his gratitude."

Suddenly, although I don't know what Nangong Zun thinks, but in a place where Xichu is unfamiliar, it is better to have someone who is not an enemy to take care of it than to go it alone, especially when Nangong Allure also regards Lin Mumu as a thorn in the side.

"Xi'er...... In the end, it was because of me that she died, the corpse was well contained, so help her deal with the aftermath. ”

"Yes."

Emperor Jiahe's side didn't seem to pay much attention to Zhao Qingyan, the princess who came over to make peace, and Lin Mumu and they didn't move at all until the three-day palace.

Since Xi'er's death, Zhao Qingyan has become very vigilant, like a frightened bird, hiding in the palace all day long and not going anywhere.

"County Lord, Your Majesty asked the slave maid to come and pass the word to the county lord that tomorrow there will be a banquet for the ten princesses and the county lord, and the ten princesses and the county lord will be invited to attend."

"The lord of this county knows."

After passing the word, the palace maid bowed slightly and retreated.

As soon as the palace maid left, Zhao Qingyan squeezed in front of Lin Mumu.

"Sister Mu Mu, tomorrow's reception banquet...... It's not going to be a killing array, is it!? ”

Lin Mumu looked at her with a frightened look, took a piece of beef jerky and chewed it. "You are the princess of Heqin, if you just arrived in Xichu and saw Lord Yama, do you think the Eastern Jin Dynasty can just forget it?"

Zhao Qingyan flattened her mouth, no matter whether the Eastern Jin Dynasty counts or not, she will see Lord Yama when the time comes, even if she really avenges her, she won't survive!

"Why don't I go tomorrow when I call myself sick? Sister Mu Mu, do you have the kind of medicine that makes you look sick if you take it, give me one? ”

Lin Mumu calmly swallowed the beef jerky into her stomach, as if she was considering the feasibility of this matter, but after thinking about it, she still shook her head. "It's easier for you to stay alone in the temple to give people a chance to do something, so you better go to the banquet with me honestly."

Zhao Qingyan almost didn't cry when she heard it, how did she feel that she was dead both horizontally and vertically!?

The next day, Lin Mumu and Zhao Qingyan changed into palace clothes from the Eastern Jin Dynasty and prepared to go to the banquet.

After packing up, go out to the palace gate, where there is already a carriage waiting.

Half an hour later, Lin Mumu and the others arrived in the palace.

The maid took them outside the palace where the banquet was held.

"The lord of the Western Chu State is still the lord of the county, and the ten princesses are ......"

As the sharp singing sound of the palace gate sounded, Lin Mumu and Zhao Qingyan slowly walked into the main hall.

Although Zhao Qingyan was a little worried in her heart, she was a princess who was seriously favored by the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and she didn't lose anything in momentum at this time.

"Meet the monarch of Western Chu, the queen."

The two walked to the middle of the hall and bowed slightly to Emperor Jiahe and the queen who were sitting on the top.

Emperor Jiahe wore a dark red dragon robe today, and the five-clawed golden dragon embroidered with gold thread hovered on the robe with teeth and claws, which was matched with Emperor Jiahe's stocky figure and the momentum of the superior.

However, he still looks lazy, and his casual temperament is somewhat similar to Nangong Zun.

"Well, you don't have to be polite, get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"It is said that Xijing is a beauty, and today it really deserves its reputation." The queen who was sitting next to Emperor Jiahe looked at it and slowly spoke.

Lin Mumu turned her gaze away, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, after seeing Emperor Jiahe, she only went to Nangong Allure, and her appearance should have inherited the current queen, as expected.

After all, the queen is now in her thirties, but judging from her appearance alone, no one will believe her to say that she is in her early twenties.

How do you think such a beauty sits with Emperor Jiahe sitting together...... It's all very discordant.
