After Jiang Qingluo heard this, he immediately glanced at Rong Jinxiu and asked, "Xia Ye is the palace maid in your palace?" ”

Rong Jinxiu didn't react yet, and looked at Liu Qiao with a stunned face: "How can a good person hang himself!" What's going on? ”

Liu Qiao was also frightened, and said intermittently: "The slave maid is also just now... Want to call someone... Then go to the courtyard together, wait, wait for the eldest princess to ask, but when it's called Xia Ye... No one responded...... As soon as the slave maid entered the room, she found that the person was hanged on top, leaving nothing around her......"

"How could such a good man hang himself? What do you do on weekdays? ”

Jiang Qingluo looked at Liu Qiao, and Liu Qiao had no choice but to say, "She... She's a palace maid who helps out in the kitchen..."

"That, this is a coincidence," on the side, Yun Yun, who had been silent, said, "The slave maid went to the imperial dining room this morning and met a little palace maid of Yonghua Palace, Master Zheng said that recently, this little palace maid often goes to the imperial dining room to get ingredients, presumably it is Xia Ye, and the purslane juice is also brought back by her." ”

On the side, Wen Yu glanced at Yun Yun silently, this girl usually talks and laughs, but when she talks seriously, she is very choked, Jiang Qingluo couldn't help but smile when she heard it, but Rong Jinxiu was shocked, and said in amazement: "This... This concubine doesn't know ......"

Jiang Qingluo said: "This Xia Ye is a person in your palace, and now that this kind of thing has happened, it is difficult to guarantee that outsiders are afraid of crime and commit suicide, this reputation is really bad, it seems that this palace is also going to be thoroughly investigated......"

"Eldest princess, do you believe in concubines... It's really not the concubine's doing, if the concubine, if she wants to kill the child in Ning Concubine's sister's belly, she will let the concubine die well......" Rong Jinxiu panicked, and was also very frightened, Jiang Qingluo was stunned after hearing it.

After a while, Jiang Qingluo spoke: "Xia Ye's matter, this palace will investigate it carefully, you are now important to raise a fetus, don't think so much, this palace believes you, but how to block the mouth of the palace?" Don't worry, this palace won't wronged anyone. ”

Out of Yonghua Palace, Wen Yu looked at Jiang Qingluo and seemed to be unbearable: "Miss, do you think that Rong Changzai is also in the dark?" ”

Jiang Qingluo just laughed, the sedan chair left Yonghua Palace, behind him, a concubine wearing light yellow clothes, walked out leisurely, it was Xu Jing'er who had not been seen for a long time, since the newcomer entered the palace and was favored one after another, Xu Jing'er gradually lost her voice, and her daily greetings were also quiet, and she didn't talk to people much.

On her side, Honglan also followed her to look at the palace gate of Yonghua Palace, watched Jiang Qingluo leave, and asked Xu Jing'er: "Noble, are you going to visit Rong Chang?" ”

Xu Jing'er shook her head and said, "I have never had any friendship with her, so why bother?" Besides, she is pregnant with a dragon fetus in her belly, which is even more taboo at this time, if there is anything good, won't it fall on my head. ”

"Yes." Honglan felt that it made sense, so he accompanied Xu Jing'er from Yonghua Palace, preparing to return to the palace, halfway, a palace maid came out of the gate of Yonghua Palace, and when she met Xu Jing'er, she bowed down and asked for peace: "Xu Guiren Wan'an." ”

Xu Jing'er looked at her, but she had some impression and said, "Aren't you the palace maid who Rong Chang is by her side, why did you come out in person?" ”

Liu Qiao said: "Back to the nobles, the slave and maid are going to the Tai Hospital, and the time for daily pulse checking has arrived, and the slave and maid will also take the medicine back by the way." ”

Xu Jing'er nodded, only to see Liu Qiao leaving, but Honglan found that Xu Jing'er was still looking at Liu Qiao's direction, and she didn't know what to think, just when she wanted to ask, she heard Xu Jing'er frown and asked, "Did you smell a smell or a fragrance just now?" ”

Honglan shook his head: "In this palace, which palace, which palace maid is not fat powder, the slave maid can't identify it......"

Xu Jing'er said: "This taste...... This smell may not be known to others, but I know that when I was in Zhaowang's Mansion in the past, this kind of incense powder was the favorite incense used by the concubine Niangniang..."

"Concubine?" Honglan glanced at Xu Jing'er in surprise, and hurriedly and cautiously glanced at the long street without people, before relieving her heart and quietly asking, "How can this Liu Qiao girl have the incense powder used by the concubine?" ”

Xu Jing'er looked at the end of the long street with an unpredictable expression, and said quietly: "So, this matter is indeed strange. ”

Back to Jiahe Palace, Xu Jing'er sat down, thought about the reason carefully, Honglan poured tea over, and listened to Xu Jing'er mutter: "Yesterday, I thought that this Rong Jinxiu may be an unintentional mistake, although it is not ruled out that she has that thought, but today ...... If Liu Qiao had been in and out of Lingbo Palace, or had been instructed by the concubine, then Rong Jinxiu would be confused, and people would be used as pawns......"

After hearing this, Honglan also said: "It's really like this, everyone in this palace knows that Rong Chang likes to make pastries recently, if it is inferred by the nobles, then the noble concubine Niangniang is borrowing a knife to kill people." ”

"Yes," Xu Jing'er frowned and said, "borrowed a seemingly most harmless concubine to destroy one of the most favored concubines who are threatening their identity and status, this trick is really wonderful, buy two palace maids before and after, and then let one of them hang himself, and there is no proof of death, all the evidence of the crime is planted in Yonghua Palace, even if Rong Chang gives birth to a child, in the emperor's heart, this is a knot that cannot be untied, think about it, this trick is really clever......"

Honglan pursed her lips and said, "But nobleman, speaking of which, when I was in the palace in the past, I didn't see the concubine have such a bright mind......"

"Here's the problem," Xu Jing'er said, "The plan is so meticulous, and it can be planted silently, this is not like the behavior of the noble concubine, if there is no one behind this, no one will give advice, no one will believe it, but Lingbo Palace has not been rumored at all recently, this is indeed a mystery..."

Honglan knew that Xu Jing'er had always been lazy and did not participate in the affairs of the harem, so she said: "Then the noble person might as well tell the eldest princess about this?" The eldest princess is now investigating this matter, if there is a little eyebrow, it can make the matter clear, then the noble person is also higher in the heart of the eldest princess, and after that, the status in the palace will be more stable. ”

Xu Jing'er shook her head and smiled when she heard this: "Status? Power? Forget it, there are so many newcomers on the emperor's side, I'm afraid I don't remember who I am, and I can spend the second half of my life peacefully in the palace, that's what I want, why do I have to get involved in this storm, but it's not impossible to reveal this matter to the eldest princess, after all, in the past, the concubine was so arrogant, and there should be some retribution......"
