Chapter 207: Surfacing

Zhinan listened and didn't look back. The sad application on his face was immediately gone, and he was replaced by a face as clear as the blue sky.

She quickened her pace and ran towards the Eternal Treasure Pavilion. I made up my mind to speed up the investigation of the two female corpses. "Mother, I'm back." She threw it into the Yongbao Pavilion and looked at Gu Muqi, who was in the courtyard and didn't know what to do, and said.

Gu Muqi saw that the girl who was talking to him was Zhinan, and hurriedly took her into the house, "Why didn't you come back on time yesterday, I thought something happened to you, and you didn't sleep well all night." ”

Zhinan knelt on the ground and said to Gu Muqi, "Let Niangniang worry, when I left the palace yesterday, I encountered some trouble, the box I was hiding in was thrown outside the city by the transporter, and I had no choice but to sneak in today while the morning court was in there." ”

She recounted with Gu Muqi about her experiences yesterday and this morning.

After hearing this, Gu Muqi held his chest and said to Zhinan, "It's okay if you're okay, this is really a variable that will always come faster than planned, and I don't know what the prince will do after getting the news." ”

Zhinan stood up and said to Gu Muqi, "The prince is now in the front court and is in the early court, I estimate that he will go to the Chengbei Prison to torture the captured assassin." ”

Gu Muqi nodded, looking at Zhinan's smug face, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why did you go back to Xuanwang's Mansion and be so happy?" ”

Zhinan replied to Gu Muqi shyly, "Niangniang, I won't tell you that Zhinan has a sweetheart." Madame promised me that when the matter was ascertained, she would give me to the man's house. ”

When Gu Muqi heard the news, he immediately leaned his face to Zhinan's side and asked curiously, "Who?" Which son's son is so good that he can make you look at it? ”

Zhinan remembered the words that Feng Qi stood behind him and shouted to himself just now, and couldn't help blushing with shame, and squirmed to tell Gu Muqi's man's name.

When Gu Muqi heard this, he was greatly surprised. She has also seen Fengqi a few times, not to mention that he is indeed a talent, and he can assist him by Zun Mojun's side for so long, and he is also a capable person.

She nodded and said to Zhinan, "I think this man is okay, so let's hurry up and handle the case." There are indeed too many unknowns in this palace, and if you want to go out and live a peaceful life, it is not a matter of staying in this palace for a long time. ”

Of course, Zhinan knew how dire this harem was, she agreed to Gu Muqi, turned around and went out to find Caini. These days, she also found out a lot of news in the palace, saying that it was Caini who was on duty that day.

"Sister Caini." Zhinan was in Gu Muqi's tea room, and saw Caini who was cleaning, she walked quickly to her side and said, "Sister Caini, I have something to ask you, can you take the time to talk to me?" ”

Cai Ni saw that the time was still early, and there was no one around, knowing that Nan had been working diligently since entering the palace, she must have asked for something to ask if she was looking for such a person to talk to, so she put down the tools in her hand and agreed to her.

Zhinan and Caini walked to the bamboo forest of Yongbao Pavilion, found a stone bench and sat down, Zhinan asked, "Sister Caini, you have always been the one who accompanies Niangniang, I will ask you directly if there are some words." ”

Caini nodded.

Zhinan continued, "Actually, I want to ask you about this matter as my mother wants to ask you, but because of my identity, there are some things that we still have to do. ”

Cai Ni thought that she was not wrong, what was wrong, how did she know that Nan took out the name of Niangniang to shock herself here?

Zhinan continued, "What I want to ask is, on the night before the provincial relatives, does my sister remember which palace maid has gone out and walked, or is there anything unusual?" ”

"Nope...... I was on an errand that night......" Caini didn't expect that Zhinan wanted to ask about herself, of course she knew what happened when she was provincial, so she thought about it extra carefully, "Hey, no, I remember that night there was a maid who always had to be respectful, and then the maid disappeared." ”

That's it! Zhinan guessed. She hurriedly asked, "Do you remember the name of the palace maid?" What's so special about you? ”

Cai Ni touched her chin, thought about it carefully, and said, "I vaguely remember, what the palace maid seems to be called...... Little Yu'er! That's right, it's Xiao Yu'er! That night, she said it was a stomach upset, and she always ran outside. In fact, what happened later, I also thought about it carefully, but this Yu'er has always worked under me, and she is very introverted, not like a person who can do anything out of the cabinet. So I didn't see anyone asking, so I didn't say anything. ”

"But if Sister Zhinan really asked, how could there be anything strange about the maids that night, it must be that this little Yu'er always ran to go out of Gong."

After speaking, Zhinan felt that his eyes lit up, maybe this little Yu'er was the real murderer who killed the fetus in Mrs. Niang's womb! But why are there two people who are the same?

She then asked, "Then do you have any birthmarks on this little Yu'er?" ”

Caini shook her head and affirmed, "No." When the palace maids enter the palace, they have to go through inspections layer by layer, first the old lady in the palace, and then to me and Man'er. Remove your clothes and check your whole body to see if there is any smallpox on your skin, or if there are any obvious injuries on your body from a fight. There is also a need to check whether it is a virgin. ”

Zhinan thought, if according to Caini, the female corpse that was thrown down in the well is the jade of this Yongbao Pavilion, then who will the other one be?

She said to Caini, "Sister Caini, you have been in the palace for a long time and know more people, can you help me ask if there is a girl who looks very similar to Yu'er, but has a cyan birthmark from her chest to her shoulder?" ”

Cai Ni asked puzzled, "Why do you ask this?" As far as I know, we don't have this person in this palace. ”

It's not easy for Zhinan to explain anything to Caini about specific matters, this kind of secret investigation of the case, one more person knows about it, and it is more dangerous. She could only make up a lie and said, "Niangniang told me today, saying that the girl she seemed to see that day had a cyan birthmark on her body, Niangniang, let me ask around secretly, I think the only people I can talk about are Sister Caini and Sister Man'er." So I want to drag Sister Caini to help me ask, and I'll take you to Niangniang's place to report when the time comes. ”

When Cai Ni heard it, it was still what her mother asked her to do, and she couldn't help but think in her heart. I'm afraid that this Zhinan secretly asked him to help her do things, and after separating from Zhinan, she went into the house and asked Niangniang, if it was really Niangniang who asked her to do it, she would definitely help find out this person at all times.
