CHAPTER XXXIV

Conspiracy (2)

"What's your name, and what's the name of the palace maid who replaces you? Which palace is the maid? ”

She asked a series of questions.

The palace maid seemed to realize that things were not simple, and her face became more and more ugly.

"Don't you say?" Song Li saw that his gaze kept changing, and suddenly sneered, "If you don't say anything, you will be sent to the prison of the Criminal Department......

Before she finished her threatening words, she saw the palace maid kowtow and said loudly: "The slave said the slave said!" ”

"The slave maid is called Jin Zhi, and the name that replaces me is Dragonfly, who is the palace maid of the Huanyi Bureau, and the slave maid is like a sister to her, so I asked her to replace me after I felt uncomfortable yesterday."

She said and banged her head again, and after a while, it was bloody and covered the floor, "The slave didn't know that the matter would be so serious, and I hope that Miss Song will forgive her sins, and the little one will not dare anymore!" ”

"Gonggong Lu is optimistic about this person!"

After getting the news he wanted, Song Li was overjoyed and gave an order to his father-in-law.

"Yes, Miss Song, don't worry, the little one will definitely take a good look at her!" Gonggong Lu quickly bowed his head and answered, then looked up at her cautiously and asked, "Do you want the little one to accompany you to the Huanyi Bureau?" ”

Song Li pondered for a moment and quickly nodded, "I'm tired of Father-in-law Lu." ”

"Don't bother, don't bother!"

Gonggong Lu quickly waved his hand to the little eunuch who was guarding Jin Zhi's side, and then followed Song Li and left the Internal Affairs Mansion.

In the Huanyi Bureau, a grandmother wearing a gray palace dress and not wearing a headdress on her head is holding a wooden stick and calling a group of palace maids in a rough voice.

"Mama Guo, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you are still as majestic as ever."

Father-in-law Lu looked at the grandmother and shouted.

The grandmother quickly turned around, saw Song Li and Lu Gonggong, the meanness on her face instantly dissipated and was replaced by a flattering smile, her eyes kept flowing on Song Li, seeing that Song Li was not wearing palace clothes, and her posture was not like a woman in the harem, she couldn't help but look at her a few more times, and said with a smile: "I have seen the nobles and Lu Gonggong, I don't know what kind of wind actually blew the head of the Internal Affairs Office over." ”

Father-in-law Lu smiled, his narrow eyes fell on the palace maids gathered behind Mama Guo, and his white eyebrows raised slightly and said slowly: "The little one took Miss Song to find someone at the emperor's behest, what is going on, why do so many people get together?" ”

Hearing Lu Gonggong tell Song Li's identity, Mama Guo's face froze, and she hurriedly saluted Song Li, "The slave has seen Miss Song." Seeing Song Li nodded, she mustered up the courage and asked in a low voice, "I don't know who Miss Song is looking for?" ”

Song Li looked at the crowd gathered together, with different expressions, and there was a faint cry, a bad premonition suddenly came up, she didn't speak, but raised her chin at the crowd gathered behind Mama Guo, and motioned for her to answer what was going on.

Mama Guo looked in the direction Song Li pointed, her face suddenly turned pale, she maintained a saluting posture, and said slowly: "Last night, a power suddenly died of an old disease, and the slave maid was ordering them to move the body away......

When Song Li heard this, his heart sank little by little.

It can't be such a coincidence, right? She only found the person who poisoned her yesterday, and today a palace maid died, and it happened to be someone from the Huanyi Bureau.

"Bold!" Father-in-law Lu suddenly pinched his orchid finger and scolded loudly, "Why didn't you report the dead person to the Internal Affairs Office?" ”

A trace of embarrassment flashed on Mama Guo's face, and she secretly glanced at Song Li, seeing that Song Li's eyes were gloomy, she didn't know what she was thinking, and suddenly knelt in front of Song Li.

"Father-in-law Lu, it's not that you don't report it, but you don't have time, isn't this just going to report when you and Miss Song are going to take people away!"

She pleaded loudly.

Song Li didn't care about Mama Guo, slowly pushed through the crowd and walked to the corpse covered by a white cloth.

"Miss Song, the little heart is here, the little one is coming!"

Father-in-law Lu quickly came to her, stopped her movements, and picked up the white cloth with the Buddha dust in his hand.

Song Li squatted down, raised his hand to probe the palace maid's neck, and found that he was no longer angry.

She pursed her lips slightly, her gaze fell on the corpse's distorted face for a while, and then slowly looked away, and asked Mama Guo, who was still kneeling on the ground, "What's her name?" ”

"Back to Miss Song, the dead palace maid is called Dragonfly......"

Mama Guo knelt and turned to face Song Li, and said tremblingly.

"Dragonfly ......"

Song Li slowly repeated Mama Guo's words and slowly stood up.

"Father-in-law Lu handed over the dragonfly's body to the Tai Hospital, and it is important to find out the cause of the dragonfly's death!"

She bent down and pulled the white cloth over the dragonfly's corpse, and gave instructions to her father-in-law.

"Yes! The little one understands! ”

Father-in-law Lu quickly ordered someone to lift the dragonfly's corpse.

Song Li was about to leave, when suddenly a pair of smiling eyes suddenly broke into her sight.

Her eyes tightened, and then she looked at it, only to see that the smile in those eyes quickly disappeared, as if she had never smiled, she moved her eyes to the face of those eyes, and found that there was a dragonfly's life on that face, she had seen a dragonfly before, and the dragonfly's life had already been written down by her.

"Take that man down!"

She suddenly waved her hand at the palace maid, her eyes gloomy and dark.

The eunuch who came with Gonggong Lu quickly took down the palace maid.

"I don't know what the slave did wrong, Miss Song wants to take me down."

The palace maid was forced to kneel, but she was not afraid to ask inexplicably at Song Li's scrutinizing eyes.

Song Li looked at these eyes, his eyes narrowed, and a bold idea came to his heart.

"You'll find out soon enough." She shook her head with a smile, slowly attached herself to the palace maid, and whispered, "Dragonfly, I know it's you, you're not dead!" ”

I saw that the palace maid's eyes quickly appeared a little surprised, but her face did not change at all.

Song Li took the palace maid's look into his eyes and waved his hand to Father-in-law Lu, "Let's go." ”

"Yes!"

Gonggong Lu nodded in response, waved his hand to the eunuch who was escorting the palace maid behind him and carrying the corpse, and quickly followed Song Li.

has been a gentleman on the beam for half a month, and now he has finally found the person who poisoned him.

The palace maid who died was not a dragonfly, but a dragonfly who was caught alive and had a different face.

Using a dead palace maid to disguise herself as a dragonfly, and then letting the original dragonfly change her identity and continue to live in the palace, she doesn't believe it if there is no one behind this, how can a small palace maid swap identities to control the life and death of others, there is only one situation, that is, a high-ranking and powerful person is planning for the dragonfly behind his back.

It's just that she doesn't understand, why the person behind the curtain keeps the dragonfly and doesn't kill it, is there something on the dragonfly that makes the other party have to keep it?

But I have to say that this attention is great, if it is other estimates, it is really deceived, but it is she who investigates this matter.

She never looks at people's faces, but at life, everyone has their own unique life, whether it is dead or alive, as long as she has seen it and remembered the life on her body, then no one can escape her eyes.

"Miss Song, where are we going now?"

Seeing Song Li walking straight towards the imperial study, Gonggong Lu suddenly asked.

"Find the emperor."

Song Li said lightly with the corner of his mouth hooked.

Now that she has found the person who poisoned her, the next thing is that Emperor Tianxuan's matter has nothing to do with her, after all, what she promised was to find the person who poisoned her, not to investigate the person who instructed her to poison.

If Emperor Tianxuan asked her to withdraw from the investigation, she would be happy, if she wanted to continue the investigation, it would be a bargaining chip, she didn't take the Heavenly Family, how could she do things for Emperor Tianxuan for free.

They came to the imperial study, and Emperor Tianxuan had just returned from the court.

Seeing her coming over with two people, one alive and one dead, her face moved slightly.

"The courtiers live up to the emperor's trust, they have found the person, and ask the emperor to send it."

Seeing Emperor Tianxuan, Song Li waved his hand at the person behind him, slowly knelt down in front of Emperor Tianxuan, and said in a loud voice.

A smile appeared on Emperor Tianxuan's face, and he nodded slowly, "You really didn't disappoint me, come in." ”

Song Li got up and followed Emperor Tianxuan into the imperial study.

Emperor Tianxuan walked to the desk and sat down, and waved his hand to Father-in-law Lu and the others.

Gonggong Lu and the others quickly retreated.

Soon there were only Emperor Song Litian Xuan and two dragonflies who were dead and alive in the hall.

"What's going on?"

Emperor Tianxuan pointed to the corpse covered with a white cloth on the ground and asked Song Li.

Song Li's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, and when the live dragonfly was defenseless, she raised her hand and tore it on her face, only to hear a slight brushing sound, a lifelike mask appeared in her hand, she raised the mask in her hand, and smiled proudly.

After tearing off the mask, Dragonfly's face was completely exposed.

Dragonfly's eyes were full of surprise, and she knelt on the ground, her face suddenly pale.

Emperor Tianxuan looked at Song Li, who was like a trick, and his eyes darkened, "She's the person I'm looking for?" ”

Song Li nodded, looked at the mask in his hand over and over again, and then threw it, and the mask quickly and steadily fell in front of Emperor Tianxuan.

She walked around in front of the expressionless dragonfly, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, you said that it was a coincidence, I found the person I was looking for last night, and a palace maid died in the Huanyi Bureau today." ”

"If it weren't for me and Father-in-law Lu arriving in time, the dead palace maid would have really died unjustly, and she would have died blindly."

Emperor Tianxuan looked at Song Li and quietly waited for her next step.

Song Li suddenly stopped and stopped talking.

After a while, she slowly took out the token of Emperor Tianxuan from her arms and presented it, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the courtiers have lived up to their trust, they have found the person, and the token has been returned to the emperor, thank you for your trust." ”

Emperor Tianxuan looked at Song Li, and did not take the token, but asked rhetorically, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Song Li smiled and said righteously: "The emperor asked the courtiers to find the poisoned person before, but now that the courtiers have found it, the task assigned by the emperor has been completed, and the emperor's things will naturally be returned to Zhao." ”

Emperor Tianxuan looked at her, his eyes slightly dark, "Really?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Song Li didn't seem to be able to hear Emperor Tianxuan's slightly dull tone, and said lightly.

Emperor Tianxuan stared at her for a long time, then took the token back and said slowly: "Since this is the case, then I will accept the token." ”
