Chapter 130: Dry Pen and Light Ink
The tall captain woke up in shock.
"Quick, slam the door!"
A guard went up and smashed the door, but it didn't open after a few hits.
At this time, the fire inside is getting bigger and bigger.
"Quick, let's go together!"
The rest of the guards woke up from a dream, and stepped forward to exert force, and the door clicked, and the latch broke from the inside, and the door of the temple was pushed open.
As soon as the door opened, everyone was stunned, only to see that the door of the main hall of the Kunxi Hall was open, and there was a pile of dry firewood in front of the door, and the fire was soaring at this moment.
"Quick, go put out the fire!"
A guard rushed forward, and Yue'er also ran over.
I saw several figures on the pyre, and two of them were already burned and curled.
"Help!"
Yue'er shouted, but she understood that all this was premeditated by Concubine Baili, and she was late.
The guards hurriedly put out the fire, but to no avail, because oil was poured on the pyre, and the fire could not be controlled at all, and it burned for a long time before someone found a hook and hooked out the people in the pyre.
It was the corpse of three women, which had been burned beyond recognition, and there were only three people in the Kunxi Palace, one was Su Zi, one was Shunzi, and the other was Concubine Baili.
The three corpses were left on the ground and burned for a long time, until green smoke came out, and the guards flipped over a corpse, only to see that the woman was so black that it was impossible to identify, but Yue'er still knew that she was Su Zi.
The three corpses were arranged one by one, and I saw that one of the corpses was holding a pair of scissors in her hand, and her knife was inserted into her heart, but judging from her figure, it was Baili Fei!
Yue'er noticed that although the two fingers of the corpse's right hand were blackened, they could still be seen to be a little distorted, and she couldn't help but be horrified, she couldn't imagine that Concubine Baili would commit suicide in such a way, she did this because she didn't want to be seen that there were marks on the people of Qihua Palace.
"Quick, go and tell the queen mother!"
The tall captain was so frightened that he stammered a little.
It was destined to be a night of horror.
The next day, the tragic death of Concubine Baili in Kunxi Hall spread in the palace, Prince Dongping of Zongzheng Mansion personally investigated the case, he asked Yue'er for a long time, and he couldn't figure out a clue, the key is that Yue'er couldn't say the reason why Concubine Baili attacked her.
Yue'er was in a very heavy mood, she had lost the goal of Concubine Baili, for the other people in the Qihua Palace, there was only suspicion, no evidence, if she couldn't find out the true identity of the palace master of the Qihua Palace, then she would be in extreme danger.
The inference of Prince Dongping and Zongzheng Mansion is that Baili Zhaoyi sleepwalked to Anhua Palace, murdered Yue'er and fled back to Kunxi Palace, because of mental disorder, she killed Su Zi and Zishun and then set fire to suicide, which may be a long-term depressed life that caused her to be in a trance.
Yue'er reminded Zongzheng Mansion that Baili Zhaoyi was bringing poison to harm her, which was obviously premeditated, and the identity of this woman was very suspicious, she climbed over the wall like a child's play, she was by no means an ordinary person, she just had to say the name of Qihua Palace, but Prince Dongping suddenly became indifferent to the attack on Concubine Duan, and the people of Zongzheng Mansion also found various reasons to shirk.
Anhua Hall was left out in the cold.
When Niu Tao came to deliver the imperial meal in the afternoon, he whispered: "Concubine Duanniang, I heard a lot of rumors in the palace, saying that you are going to be in trouble, you have to be careful!" β
Yue'er nodded.
"You also have to be careful, the most important thing is that no matter who asks you if you have sent something out for me, you have to deny it, and you will not be killed!"
Niu Tao nodded.
"Niangniang's life-saving grace, the little one must be tight-lipped, someone asked me about my relationship with you a few days ago, and I was sent away by a few words from the small."
"Oh, who is it, and how did she ask?"
"It's the palace maid of Jinle Palace, maybe I asked unintentionally, she asked me how Concubine Duan was, whether she had a big temper, isn't this the relationship between the side knock and the mother, I'll reply to her, I don't know, she asked why you don't know, I said I don't know, I don't know, I send so many concubines, all of them are nodding friends!"
Yue'er was a little puzzled, Jinle Palace was Concubine Shu Xian's residence, could it be that she was the one who inquired about her?
"Very good, let's not meet recently, it's too dangerous, I'll arrange for Rudong to come to you if there's anything, and you try not to come here!"
"Yes, the villain knows."
Waiting until Niu Tao left, Yue'er was a little relieved, she thought about it carefully, after this incident, the palace master of Qihua Palace should not dare to make a big move, she must be careful, she can't be caught.
But the more Yue'er wanted to be quiet, the more trouble came to her.
On the morning of the third day, Yue'er had just finished practicing in the garden, when Rudong and Lan Qiu came to tell her, saying that King Xin and King Sui were here, could they see them?
Yue'er knew that Zhao Zhen must be for the sake of Concubine Baili, but didn't Zhaoju say that he would never see him again, why did he come again?
"Okay, arrange for them to go to the Plum Blossom Hall for a while, and the palace will come."
Rudong glanced at Yue'er, and stopped talking.
Yue'er knew what she wanted to say, Zhaozhen came to find herself, she must have been asking for the guilt, Concubine Baili's death had nothing to do with her, but now there was no way to explain, she waved her hand and said, "You all go out, I'll go see them myself!" β
Lan Qiu asked: "Niangniang, His Royal Highness King Xin looks very bad, don't you really want anyone to accompany you, or will we wait downstairs?" β
"Okay, you let Binliang wait below, you don't need to, this matter can't be hidden in this palace, you can't hide from the first day of junior high school, you can't hide from the fifteenth."
"Yes, sissy."
Yue'er returned to the dormitory, put on a plain knee-length placket sleeves, and took off the hair ornament on her head, and then came to the door of the Plum Blossom Palace.
I only heard a crisp crack, and there was the sound of cups smashing on the ground in the hall.
Yue'er settled down and pushed the door in.
I saw two men sitting in the hall, and it was Zhaozhen who was wearing white clothes and a black belt.
Zhao Zhen saw Yue'er, his eyes were bloodshot, he stood up and was about to rush over, Zhao Ju stopped him by the waist and hugged him, and shouted: "Calm down, you said to be calm!" β
"Concubine Duan, let me ask you, why did you force my mother to death!"
Zhao Zhen's eyes were blood-red, as if he wanted to kill.
"No, I didn't want to force her to death, I have no grievances with your mother, why do you want to force her?"
"You took the guards to my mother's Kunxi Hall in the middle of the night, didn't you force her to do anything?"
"If Your Highness wants to be so naΓ―ve, this palace can only say that it is ridiculous!"
Zhao Zhen pointed at Yue'er's hand and couldn't help shaking, Yue'er believed that if Zhaoju let go, he would really rush over and beat him.
"Concubine Duan, this king has mistaken you, they all say that you are withdrawn, this king does not believe it, says that you have a perverse temperament, this king does not believe it, says that you are cruel and tyrannical, and this king does not believe it, I always thought that you were kind and helpful, but, but now I believe it, you are ruthless and unjust, and you will take revenge!"
"I'm going to take revenge?"
Zhao Zhen's eyes were cracked.
"Yes, I should have seen through it a long time ago, you told me not to always ask my mother about trouble, to be independent, I wondered at the time, why did you say this, but I didn't take it to heart, now think about it, you were hostile to my mother at that time, didn't you? But my mother has never said a word about you, and she has always been grateful to you! β
Yue'er said such a thing, Zhao Zhen actually said it as evidence at this moment, Yue'er couldn't bear it, and stepped forward and slapped it hard.
With a snap, Yue'er's palm was blocked by Zhao Ju, and there was immediately a red mark on his wrist, and Zhao Zhen was stunned.
"What are you doing!"
Zhao Ju shouted, his wrist hurting, and the force of this palm was not light.
"I'm going to wake him up, he thinks about it, there are so many things he doesn't understand about this matter, and he hasn't understood whether someone wants to harm her or me!"
"Who will harm my mother, she has no power in the palace, she lives in the most humble palace, and eats the same meal as the most palace people, but you are different now, you are favored by your father, so you dislike my mother, don't want to associate with her, and force her to death!"
Yue'er was so angry that her body trembled, and she almost slapped her again.
"You don't know what the truth is at all, I want you to think more about it, make your own mind, is it wrong, if the person who died the day before yesterday was me, do you think it should, your mother is completely out of responsibility, then why should I die?"
"No, it can't be, I don't believe that the mother will kill you!"
