Chapter 341: The Death of Concubine Xu
As soon as Concubine He said this, Lin Wan'er realized that she couldn't go down with Su Xiaoya, after all, if she insisted on leaving with Su Xiaoya, others would definitely gossip.
"Wan'er, just stay here and wait for me, I'll be back after I change my clothes." Su Xiaoya looked at Lin Wan'er comfortingly and said.
Lin Wan'er hesitated, but there was worry in her eyes.
The people in this palace are not very friendly to Su Xiaoya, and Lin Wan'er is really worried about whether Su Xiaoya will encounter any danger.
The queen on the side also felt that Wan'er was too obvious like this, so she reminded intentionally or unintentionally: "Wan'er, Mrs. Su is just going to change her clothes, you look like this, you don't know and think something is wrong!" ”
Everyone laughed in unison.
Lin Wan'er saw that what she did was a little too obvious, so she hurriedly let go of the hand holding Su Xiaoya, and said to the queen with a red face: "I'm also afraid that Sister Xiaoya will do something bad when she goes to change clothes alone...... Since the queen made fun of me, then I won't follow Sister Xiaoya. ”
The queen smiled and nodded, and asked a little palace maid in the palace who was responsible for running errands to take Su Xiaoya down to change clothes.
"I don't know what this sister is doing in the queen's palace? Why didn't I see you when I came to Chuxiu Palace before? Su Xiaoya asked seemingly unintentionally.
The palace maid smiled shyly: "I also just said that the queen mother's palace has not been in for a long time." Madame didn't see me, probably because she didn't notice me much when she came. I'm very impressed with Madame! ”
Su Xiaoya suddenly felt a little embarrassed, she had never been able to remember other people's appearances, let alone an inconspicuous little palace maid in the Queen's Palace, she was even less impressed.
"Ah...... I'm afraid you're also very happy to do things in the queen's palace, right? The queen is such a good person, she will definitely not treat you badly. Su Xiaoya and the palace maid had nothing to say, so they had to find a topic casually.
Who knew that the palace maid just smiled and didn't pay attention to Su Xiaoya's words.
Su Xiaoya suddenly felt a little embarrassed, touched her nose and didn't know what to do.
At this time, the palace maid pushed open one of the doors, smiled and said to Su Xiaoya: "It's here, Madame go in by herself, if there is anything you need our help with, just call out when the time comes." ”
Su Xiaoya nodded without thinking too much, and when she reacted, she found that there was already a person lying on the ground in the room, and she was surrounded by the smell of blood.
"This ...... What's going on? Su Xiaoya subconsciously wanted to rush over to probe this person's snort.
Who knew that the palace maid who had been waiting outside the door suddenly pushed open the door and screamed loudly, eager to lure everyone here: "Come on!" Someone's killed! ”
Su Xiaoya panicked for a while, and then she understood that these people were deliberately using these traps, just to wait for themselves to take the bait!
Su Xiaoya thought of the things she encountered today, and suddenly sorted out the whole thing clearly. I'm afraid that from the time when their dresses were just soiled, these people have already begun to find ways to wash white.
"I didn't kill this person, you let me go back first." Su Xiaoya frowned and wanted to leave from the side, at least she had to sort out the order of events first.
But the palace maid who kept screaming pulled Su Xiaoya unrelentingly, unwilling to let Su Xiaoya leave first.
Su Xiaoya had no choice but to wait until everyone was attracted over.
After the palace maid shouted, Concubine He was the first to rush over. Seeing the person lying in a pool of blood on the ground, Concubine He covered her mouth and looked at Su Xiaoya in disbelief: "Mrs. Su, what the hell is going on?!" ”
Su Xiaoya shook her head, looked coldly at the palace maid who kept screaming, and said, "I also want to know what's going on." Why did I just enter the room and see this person lying on the floor? ”
Concubine He was suspicious and turned her head to look at the palace maid.
The palace maid was full of panic, and hurriedly pulled Concubine He and said, "Concubine He, this matter has nothing to do with me!" I brought Mrs. Su over to change clothes, who knew that I would see Mrs. Su and her......"
What does this mean by killing the man lying on the ground? Su Xiaoya's heart sank, and she said to the palace maid, "What nonsense are you talking about?" If I did kill this person, how could I be stupid enough for you to find out? ”
What Mrs. Su meant by this...... You even mean that if you don't find out, then you'll never be ready to admit it?! Concubine He looked at Su Xiaoya with wide eyes.
Su Xiaoya was helpless in her heart, she was at a loss now. But fortunately, there is no blood on his hands, and when the queen comes, he can also prove his innocence.
The queen arrived soon, and Lin Wan'er was also by the queen's side, her face full of anxiety.
"What's going on?!" The queen frowned and swept Concubine He's face, as long as it was related to this Concubine He, it must not be simple.
Concubine He covered her mouth and pointed to the dead man on the floor in the room and said, "Queen Mother, this matter has nothing to do with the concubine. It's Mrs. Sue...... Kill someone! ”
The queen was shocked and hurriedly asked the closest palace maid around her to go over to check.
"Queen Mother, dead...... It was Concubine Xu who was unwell today and did not come to the chrysanthemum banquet. The palace maid's face was ugly.
Xu Concubine?! This is a concubine who has just entered the palace for a month! It is said that Xu Concubine was because her father and brother in the family contributed a lot to the matter of scholars, and the emperor of Northern Xinjiang took Xu Concubine into the palace in order to repay the Xu family.
However, Concubine Xu herself is also angry, and she has not been in the palace for a long time, but the emperor of Northern Xinjiang has always favored Concubine Xu.
The queen was dizzy for a while, if it weren't for Lin Wan'er supporting her, I was afraid that the queen would have fainted on the ground: "What the hell is going on?!" How did Concubine Xu become like this? ”
Su Xiaoya didn't know any concubines, she just felt a little troublesome after seeing that the person lying on the ground was a woman.
Su Xiaoya shook her head: "Queen Mother, I don't know what's going on." As soon as I came here, I found Concubine Xu lying on the ground, and I didn't do it. ”
As she spoke, Su Xiaoya also stretched out her clean hands to show the queen.
The palace maid on the side rushed out and said, "Queen Mother, only the slave maid and Mrs. Su have entered this room." It's not Mrs. Su, is it still a slave herself? The slave and maid watched Mrs. Su go in with their own eyes, if they hadn't heard some strange sounds in the house, the slave and maid would not have pushed open the door and saw Mrs. Su......
Now Su Xiaoya also understands that this palace maid is probably bought by someone. On the surface, this palace maid is the queen's person, but in fact, this palace maid has already betrayed the queen.
Is she telling the truth? Mrs. Sue. The queen looked at Su Xiaoya expressionlessly and asked.
Lin Wan'er on the side was anxious: "Queen Mother, how could Sister Xiaoya do such a thing?" You see that her hands are clean, if it is really her, how can she still have time to wash her hands?! ”
The queen shook her head and said, "No, this matter is not up to the palace." The palace must wait until the emperor comes, and the emperor will make a decision. ”
After all, the person who died was Concubine Xu, not to mention how much Concubine Xu was favored by the Emperor of Northern Xinjiang, the forces of Concubine Xu's mother's family alone should not be underestimated.
Su Xiaoya's heart grew cold.
The emperor of Northern Xinjiang did not come in person, but asked people to come over to express his meaning.
"The emperor said, first put Su Xiaoya in prison and interrogate slowly." The eunuch fox said with a fake tiger pinching his throat.
Now Su Xiaoya understood that no one could save herself, so she had to pull Lin Wan'er to her side and whispered a word in Lin Wan'er's ear.
When leaving, Su Xiaoya vaguely saw the corners of Concubine He's slightly raised mouth and her eyes full of smugness.
In the prison, Su Xiaoya sat alone in a filthy cell, silently waiting for the emperor of Northern Xinjiang to send someone to interrogate her.
"You're the slut who killed my daughter?!"
Suddenly, an old woman with an old face appeared at the door of the cell, looking at Su Xiaoya, her eyes full of resentment.
Su Xiaoya subconsciously took two steps back: "I have already said that I didn't kill Concubine Xu Niangniang, and there is another secret in this matter." Why don't you believe what I say? ”
The old woman's face was full of tears, and when she heard this, she spat fiercely and said, "Didn't you kill it?" You didn't kill you, why did the emperor put you in this prison! Pity my daughter, who has only been in the palace for a month and has suffered this kind of calamity......"
Hearing this, Su Xiaoya lowered her eyes, and she didn't know if this old woman was regretting that her daughter had left so early, or whether she was regretting that this daughter had not been able to bring them more long-term benefits.
"As I said, this matter really has nothing to do with me. If you really feel sorry for your daughter, why don't you go and investigate the real murderer, but come here to question me? Su Xiaoya shook her head indifferently, she didn't know how to explain herself, and these people would believe in herself.
The old woman still didn't believe Su Xiaoya's words, and laughed viciously and said, "Do you think I will believe the words of a vicious woman like you?" ”
This old woman is probably already stunned, no matter how Su Xiaoya explains, she doesn't want to believe that Su Xiaoya didn't do this.
"Why are you so vicious as a woman? My daughter has always been kind to people in the palace and never argues with people. Why do you have the heart to kill her?! Or is it ...... ...... between you and the emperor" The old woman looked at Su Xiaoya with a shocked face as if she had thought of something.
Su Xiaoya was helpless, I was afraid that this old woman thought that she had some ambiguous relationship with the emperor of Northern Xinjiang, so she couldn't help the anger in her heart and killed Concubine Xu.
