Chapter 70: A Thorough Investigation
"Burned from the dormitory where there is no fire source" Although Shu Linyu knew in her heart that this fire must have come strangely, she didn't expect that the other party had been so bold "Who is the palace maid who is on duty in the dormitory tonight, have you asked her, what is her origin, and now she has a direction."
"This is the most troublesome thing The palace maid ......" Lu Rui sighed, her cute little face was about to crumple "She has been burned to death in the dormitory, and now the fire has not been completely extinguished, and the dormitory is the most chaotic, we only know that she was burned to death inside, but no one dares to go in to see what is going on, even if you want to check, I'm afraid you have to wait until here to get almost sorted out, and you can go in during the day."
"As for her identity and origin," Shuya nodded, and then answered Shu Linyu's question, "It's a little girl, I just entered the palace last year, and I bought it from outside, and I had been waiting in the Huanyi Bureau, and then it seemed that I saw that she was smart and a good looker, so I transferred her out to be assigned to the palace of the mothers, but it happened that our mother entered the palace, and there was a shortage of people to serve in the Fenghua Palace, so we let her go, and we also observed her for a long time, and felt that she was indeed a good child, so we let her go to the mother's side to serve."
"So her identity is very innocent, there is nothing to say," Shu Linyu frowned, and thought about it carefully, "You just said that the Huanyi Bureau, there is any lady over there who will go and ask, which grandmother she learned from when she entered the palace, what does it have to do here, or is it possible that she was bought, and she still has relatives outside the palace?"
"Niangniang asked this, did she already believe that she started this fire, but she herself is already dead......" Lu Rui was a little dazed by Shu Linyu's series of questions, and the only thing she understood was that Shu Linyu seemed to have determined how this fire started
"It's because she's dead that it's suspicious Think about it, since the fire starts from the dormitory, and the dormitory is a place where there is no fire source, you can't light the fire yourself, she is a vigil The first thing that is suspicious is not her" Shu Linyu also understood that she had identified a suspicious person without any evidence, which made Lu Rui and Shuya a little confused, so she explained to the two of them, "Besides, she is a vigil, and it is said that she can't sleep soundly Even if she has a light sleep, she should be able to get up as soon as possible This is not to mention the difference between individuals Since it's a palace maid who can keep vigil, this should be practiced, yes and no."
"Yes, all the palace maids and slaves who are scheduled to keep vigil are personally selected one by one, and each of them is special, since it is a vigil, there is no reason why you can't get up," Shuya nodded
"Then why can't she get up I'm afraid she's already woken up It's just that your mother hasn't been burned to death How can she let herself 'wake up' Then even Ziling can rush in with someone to rescue your mother Even if she was asleep before She should wake up now What a big move is this Of course no one will go out of their way to save her Maybe she also found that she was too derelict tonight But since she can go to the dormitory to rescue your mother She rushed out at that time It was not difficult to think Why did she not wake up So much so that he was burned inside, which is so strange."
"But it's also possible that someone else set the fire, and for fear that she would find out, they poured her medicine or killed her first, thinking that no one knew what happened anyway."
"Then let me ask you, how did outsiders get in, and how did they know when your mother was asleep, if outsiders came in and set a fire, he could kill the palace maid, why didn't he just kill your mother, anyway, if the fire started, no one would know whether your mother was killed or burned, didn't it?"
"This ...... This...... But how could she be so determined to die on her own, this ......?"
"Hehe, I don't know how she is so determined to die by herself, but I know that if your mother is going to deal with a person like this today, you need someone who lurks in the past to gain trust, and then set fire to the temple and then commit suicide to annihilate the evidence, you must be willing to sacrifice, right?"
"Or what family members are alive outside the palace In order to let their family live a good life from now on, so they are willing to sacrifice themselves......" Shuya also slowly understood what Shu Linyu meant, and nodded, "The slave and maid understand, the slave and maid who asked just now will go and verify them one by one, and this matter must be investigated clearly no matter what, otherwise everyone next to them will think that Niang Niang is easy to deal with."
"Alas...... Shuya, Shuya, you must soon find out thoroughly This is not to make others want to weigh your mother in the future This is ......" Shu Linyu sighed After finishing the business The voice also became mournful "This is for your mother, and her little prince who was not born to look at the world Revenge, ah......"
"Ahhh......h What the...... Could it be that Niang Niang She" Lu Rui suddenly exclaimed, and the whole person was a little weak and almost collapsed, holding Shuya's hand, and barely stood reluctantly, and there was still disbelief in her voice, "How can it be...... Empress...... My poor mother...... How so...... How can someone like Niangniang be able to bear ......?"
"Is there still a lack of ruthless people in this harem Thinking about their own well, they are looking at your mother's disgrace At least the imperial heir in her belly will not give up We have been careful for so long We have been planning so much to find a way to keep this imperial heir, but the result is still ......" Shu Linyu said more and more unbearable, the steaming anger could not be stopped, and his expression became serious without leaving any tenderness "This matter must not be resigned No matter what, I have to find out the master behind the scenes, and take revenge for this." You must persuade your mother to know or not, don't let her fall from now on, but she has fulfilled the wish of others."
"Well, Xian Niangniang, don't worry, we will definitely not let Niangniang be wronged and sad" Lu Rui raised her hand and wiped the tears that flowed unconsciously, and her tone became firm, she understood that now was not the time to cry, she had to cheer up more She said at the beginning that she came to the Great Wei Harem for Ming Shiyun Just to help her and not let her be hurt Repay her for the kindness she has always had Now is the time for her to repay her kindness
After Shu Linyu finished explaining that Lu Rui and Shuya investigated the inexplicable fire in the apse, she looked around at the environment that had become messy again, and sighed softly She came here the day before yesterday She was still luxurious and atmospheric, even more exquisite and comfortable than Fengqi Palace, but now it has become like this It is really impossible not to sigh and feel uncomfortable Thinking that Ming Shiyun is now in a coma Even the miscarriage was dealt with on the couch in the study of the front hall It was distressing for a while The emperor also heard the news in the middle of the night and hurried over finally lived up to her, and now as the first favorite concubine of the harem, I just hope that Ming Shiyun will not be too sad because of the loss of the child after she wakes up, but take the opportunity to grasp the emperor's heart more harder, and it will be easier and happier to take revenge in the future Although this is a very ruthless idea, but in this harem, who is not like this
"Virtuous Niangniang" Shu Linyu was still immersed in her sad thoughts, Shuya finished explaining, and turned back to find her again, "Niangniang, if it's convenient, can you go to the front hall to see Niangniang and help her?"
"Well, there is His Majesty in the front hall, I am inconvenient to go over" Shu Linyu was a little strange, Shuya's expression looked very worried, but now His Majesty's affectionate approach It is said that it should be a little relieved
"Niangniang, you are the person who has been in this palace for a long time, and you are a smart and calm woman, if it weren't for your guidance today, I'm afraid we don't know how to start But our mother, she is still a child after all, although she looks clever and knows the way of the harem But many things after all, she has never experienced it herself, and the slave maid is really a little worried......" Shuya said vaguely, but also pointed out what she was most concerned about and worried about "Niangniang has always attached so much importance to the imperial heir, and now that she knows that she has a miscarriage, I am afraid that her mood will not be good." In case of a collision with the emperor...... I mean, some people are able to calm down quickly and know what to do now to save everything, but the mother may not think about it for a while, what if...... If something happens, I can help our mother."
"Ah...... I understand what you mean," Shu Linyu nodded, and couldn't help but glance at Shuya again, "I always thought that although you were also a loyal servant, but it was only because the emperor assigned you to Shiyun that you stayed here, and I didn't expect that you were also here to really care about her, Shiyun has the four of you by her side, in fact, it is worth it."
"Niangniang is right, the slave and maid are indeed because the emperor assigned the slave and maid to Niangniang, so they will serve faithfully here Before Niangniang, the slave and maid also served several other masters, but maybe it is because of this that I found out that Niangniang is really an amiable person Such a good master, how can the slave and maid be willing to see her badly Take 10,000 steps back and say Since you are here to serve the master, of course the slave and maid should be loyal to the master and think about everything for the sake of the master Although we are just palace maids After this harem, there is no more despised existence than our lives But others see us like this, we can't see ourselves that way, we are not born as human beings, we must always have some principles."
