Chapter 15: The Possibility of a Ghost Baby

In a Xingbu courtyard outside the Xuanzheng Palace, people came and went at this time, and Qin Yuanxi led the three palace maids to step in.

Several officials saw that the county lord of Yunxi was coming, and they stopped what they were doing and bowed together, "The subordinates have seen the county lord of Yunxi!"

"Hmm." Qin Yuanxi quickly found the Li Zong of Dali Temple and asked him, "Li Sicheng, how are the relevant files organized?" ”

"Back to the county lord, it has basically been moved, and it can be put away in less than a quarter of an hour."

"Then you go on, wait for the sorting out and call the county lord, this case is personally entrusted to me by His Majesty, you must be cautious." Qin Yuanxi urged, his expression serious.

"Yes, Weichen will definitely live up to His Majesty's trust," Li Zongyan turned around and went into the house to work.

Qin Yuanxi didn't know where to find a bamboo recliner, poured a cup of herbal tea, and then lay down in the shade of the tree and closed his eyes to rest.

Ziyin worked tirelessly, holding a jade fan to raise the wind for her master.

Soon, Li Zong came to the tree with a few old books in his hand and entrusted the words to Ziyin.

"Master, Li Sicheng has submitted the file." Ziyin bent down and called out in a shallow voice.

Qin Yuanxi opened his eyes, sighed, took a copy and looked at it carefully.

"There were no signs of poisoning before Lee's death, his body was intact, and there were no external injuries......

After picking out some important dictations, Qin Yuanxi couldn't help but start to get irritable again.

It seems that it should be the same as the original investigation, but since the imperial grandmother asked for a new trial, she still has to take it seriously.

"Does the Li family have parents, brothers and sisters?" Because of the shamelessness in his heart, Qin Yuanxi did not want to call him by his name at this time.

Li Zong nodded approvingly, "Lord Yu, there is an elder brother in the Li family, but that brother is the son of a loser, since the death of his parents, he made the decision to send the Li family to the palace, and it happened that the elder brother died of illness that year, and the Li family has no relatives since then." ”

"But are you sure that the third sister was born in the early morning of the second day after the death of the Li family?"

"Exactly, just in time."

A cool breeze swept through the trees, rustling the green leaves.

Chill, utter chill.

Qin Yuanxi thought that her third sister was born in childbirth, but now that the authenticity of the hour has been affirmed, she has to burst her illusion.

It was almost three hours from the time of the child to the time of the hour.

Her third sister was born after being cold for three hours!

It is indeed not an exaggeration to say that it is a ghost baby.

At this time, even Ziyin, who was standing under the scorching sun, felt a chill on her spine, and looked at her master in a daze.

After all, Qin Yuanxi first understood, and he was naturally sad in his heart, he had long lost the leisure to lie down and enjoy the coolness, and he already felt too creepy.

This is really appalling, you must know that it is her third sister, and if she was a civilian, it is estimated that she would have been burned to death.

"That'...... Can a dead body give birth in this world? Qin Yuanxi still didn't believe it, and couldn't help but look sideways at Li Zong with a strong face.

"The county lord doesn't know, the third county lord was also born at that time, and not long after the Li family died, the only remaining nutrients in the mother's body were able to complete the delivery."

The possibility of being confirmed to exist again, feeling the slightest coolness of the back of the chair through the thin shirt, Qin Yuanxi really couldn't lie down, and got up with Ziyin's support, still feeling that his jade legs were weak.

In order not to let outsiders see the joke, he had to sit on a recliner instead, pretending to be calm and continuing to study the dossier at hand.

Seeing this, Li Zong retreated.

After studying the previous files, Qin Yuanxi really couldn't think of any doubts that could be denied.

At this time, Yuan Shan also took a few of her subordinates into place, and after thinking for a long time, she finally led people to the Qinghan Palace.

Qinghan Palace is a cold palace, the palace is like the old, and the scenery is Xiaoxiao.

The Li family has been dead for ten years, and the palace is on hold, so naturally there is no one to live.

Qin Yuanxi thought that since Li's pregnancy had not been discovered, it could only be two situations.

One is that the palace maid who feeds and watches people in the Qinghan Palace was instructed and never told her grandmother or any other outsiders.

The second is that Li himself kept this secret.

Why be conservative? There may be three situations, that is, the Li family is ashamed, or uses his heirs to take revenge on the royal family, or ......, afraid that the child will be killed.

The first kind of self-consciousness is ashamed, Qin Yuanxi doesn't believe it, and he can be ashamed...... Father, having a child can only be desperately revealed, how can he voluntarily be punished in the cold palace.

However, in the third case, it is possible that the Li family expects the child to be born with a mother and a child.

Of course, it's just a pity that the child ended up being a daughter, and the Li family also died unexpectedly.

To say that a person with great extravagant hopes like the Li family is pregnant and deliberately kills the child in a vain attempt to take revenge on the royal family?

Hehe, the odds aren't high.

Qin Yuanxi didn't want to know too much, all she needed was the cause of Li's death.

Died? Suicide? Be murdered?

After a few laps in Qinghan Palace, Qin Yuanxi felt tired, so he returned to Yunxi Palace.

At this time, it is upright and upright.

Before he had finished drinking a sip of tea, he heard a chaotic sound at the palace gate.

Qin Yuanxi frowned suddenly, "What's going on outside?" ”

"Slave and maid go out and have a look." Ziyin also felt that something was wrong, and hurried out with permission.

Before I went out, I saw a very tired maid with her ankle and fell down.

If you look closely, the person who came turned out to be Ziyun.

She fell to the ground, holding a few leaves in one hand, and no longer had the strength to stand up, waiting to see Qin Yuanxi, who was the first seat, her eyes instantly glowed.

"Lord...... Master, the grass and ...... you want Jade ......"

Ziyun Nuonuo made a few sounds, and finally fell to the ground softly, and her whole face was next to the ground.

Ziyin and Qin Yuanxi were both taken aback by this situation, and Qin Yuanxi hurriedly stepped forward.

Ziyun on the ground was obviously extremely tired, her body was up and down due to panting, and the sweat soaked through the green shirt, and some of the inner lining was faintly visible.

The hair was already scattered, and if you looked closely, there were some yellow leaves stained between the temples.

And the most conspicuous thing is that the clothes between the legs and feet are blood-red, which is the skin worn by horseback riding, and no one knows whether it is serious or not.

No matter how you look at it, it's amazing and pitiful.

Zi Yin couldn't help but secretly speculate in her heart, if she hadn't had the token in her hand, she would have been stopped by the palace guards as a crazy woman.

"Ziyun, you... You're really...... Huashan? Qin Yuanxi was stunned.

She just intended to punish, not necessarily Ziyun to Huashan. After all, Huashan is more than 100 kilometers away from the capital, and it is whimsical to rush back within a day.

Ziyun on the ground shook her head weakly when she heard the question, "Slave...... The slave and maid were ......incompetent, and they couldn't get to Huashan ......, only..."

"Hmm," Qin Yuanxi nodded approvingly, not paying attention.

This is normal, she didn't expect Ziyun to really go that far.

Looking down, he saw the bright red of Ziyun's lower body again, and Qin Yuanxi took a step back in disgust.

She didn't know that Ziyun had ridden a horse, and in her heart she thought that she was injured climbing the mountain by herself.

Standing straight, facing Zi Yinnu, "Hurry up and help her to rest, why do I look like I'm about to die?" ”

Ziyin didn't dare to procrastinate, and immediately ordered the two little palace maids to carry Ziyun down.

Seeing that a few people were about to leave the main hall, Qin Yuanxi added, "She shouldn't pour night incense at night like this,"

“…… I'll make it up tomorrow. ”

Poof-

Several people were so startled that they almost stumbled under their feet.
