The queen wanted to persuade something, opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything, and turned to the other three: "Let's all go back." ”

The other three concubines didn't dare to stay longer and left with the queen.

Concubine Mao and Concubine Yu walked together and sighed, "How can this be? ”

Concubine Ning turned her head and glanced at the calm breeze of the moon, and went back worriedly with her eyebrows twisted.

……

Yongzheng returned to the hall.

A cat appeared at some point and was being held in Nichuhe's arms.

Yongzheng didn't have time to pay attention to it, looked at Ni Chuhe, who was sleeping peacefully, sat for a while, and then left.

How could Nichola fall asleep? As soon as Yongzheng left, she woke up.

looked at the cat in his arms, his face tired, "Xiao Chen, you said that Hongyan would be safe, right?" He hasn't had any illness since he was a child, and he's healthier than anyone else, so he'll definitely be able to get through it this time, right? ”

Zhuyu walked in, "Master, why are you up?" But what is the command? ”

Nichuhe shook his head, "You stand down, this palace will be alone for a while." ”

Zhu Yu answered, and retreated nervously.

Nichuhe stroked the black cat as if to himself, "He must be very uncomfortable, right?" When did Hongyan suffer such a sin? Wouldn't he be scared without me by his side? ”

The black cat meowed, licking the back of her hand as if comforting.

Ni Chuhe's heart moved, and he muttered, "Xiao Chen, can you save Hongyan?" Are you there? Where did it go? If you were here, you would definitely be able to save Hongyan, wouldn't you? ”

The black cat didn't speak.

A wave of loss welled up in Nichuhe's heart.

What else was she expecting?

Didn't Xiao Chen leave a long time ago?

At this moment, the black cat spoke, "Don't worry, he'll be fine." ”

Nichuhe was stunned for a moment and looked down.

The black cat said softly: "Don't worry, it'll be fine." ”

Surprised, Nichuhe asked, "When did you come back?" Thinking of something again, his face changed, "Or have you always been there?" ”

Wu Yuechen's ears shrank, and he was silent.

Nichuhe vaguely understood, and although she was angry that it was hiding it, she had no time to blame it at this time.

On the contrary, it is somewhat comforting to have it with you at this time.

……

In order to divert his attention and find out the murderer of Hongyan, Ni Chuhe always cares about the movements outside.

The moon is breezy and the door is full of birds.

She didn't care, either.

Yongzheng ordered people to strictly investigate the people who served Hongyan, and interrogated them one by one, all of them shouted injustice, saying that they did not know.

It wasn't until two days later that a nurse next to Hongyan also contracted smallpox and found a golden hairpin from her room.

The nurse was immediately held in solitary confinement in a room and interrogated by eunuchs.

According to the nurse's confession before she fell into a coma, she picked it up from the lake, and a while ago a palace maid drowned and left the hairpin by the lake.

When the nurse picked it up, she put it away.

What's more, there are dried blood stains on the golden hairpin.

The nurse was unaware of this.

The queen had an impression of the drowning palace maid, and it was found that she had fallen into the water, and said that the palace maid had a scar on her head, and it was speculated that she should have hit a bulge after falling into the water.

But since there are blood stains on the golden hairpin, the matter is not simple.

Xu was injured before he fell into the water, leaving behind a bloody golden hairpin.

Yongzheng ordered someone to check the palace maid and learned that it was an ordinary palace maid in the garden and did not belong to any palace.

But if it is an ordinary palace maid, how can there be such an ordinary golden hairpin?

The guards who went out of the palace to find the whereabouts of the palace maid's body also found out the news that the palace maid had been cremated.

There is also another news that both parents of the palace maid are infected with smallpox and are sick in bed, and the only brother who has not been infected is nowhere to be found.

It is said that the family left behind the clothes worn by the maid before she was cremated.

Even the two eunuchs who sent the body of the palace maid out of the palace at that time also showed signs of fever.

The two eunuchs were then locked up, and the last piece or two of the maid's jewelry were recovered from their quarters.

From this, it was concluded that the maid had contracted smallpox before drowning.

Perhaps it was not fully ill at the time, and only some red rashes did not attract attention.

This is the root cause of the sixth elder brother's disease.

Yongzheng continued to let people track down everything about the palace maid.

In the end, it was found that the palace maid had contact with Xiao Luzi, a eunuch next to the fifth elder brother, and it seemed that the relationship was very good.

The eunuch had already contracted smallpox and died.

Everything seems to be a coincidence, ostensibly the sixth elder brother's nurse accidentally picked up the golden hairpin left by the palace maid infected with smallpox, and brought it back because of greed.

The nurse is the closest person to the prince, and when she served the sixth elder brother, she also passed the smallpox infected to the sixth elder brother.

However, Yongzheng never gave up, and still let people track down where the palace maid's golden hairpin came from.

But I found out that the palace maid had some relationship with Chunjun Wang Hongyu, and the golden hairpin was given to the palace maid by Chunjun Wang Hongyu.

At this point, there seem to be some signs.

However, there is no evidence to prove that it was done by the king of Chunjun, which can only show that the king of Chunjun had dealings with the palace maid.

At this time, Concubine Qi Li begged to see Yongzheng and confessed that she was the one who pushed the palace maid into the water.

It was because the palace maid seduced the king of Chunjun.

The matter of the golden hairpin was an accident, and she didn't expect it, she didn't know that the palace maid was infected with smallpox, and she had no intention of murdering the sixth elder brother.

Yongzheng was furious and grounded Qi Concubine in natural pictures and reduced it to a promise.

When Nichuhe heard the news, he was indifferent.

Qi Concubine, no, it was Li who promised to obviously accept it on behalf of others and exonerate others.

For whom, it couldn't be more obvious.

So is it really the work of the pure king?

What good is it for him to do this?

Solve the problem of henchmen?

With the physical condition of King Chunjun, there is no chance of becoming a prince.

There is no need to target other brothers.

But who else?

Before the matter was clear, Li promised that news suddenly came from there, and Li promised to hang himself.

People were not saved.

It sounds like suicide in fear of sin, and it also feels like I can't bear the humiliation of being reduced to a promise.

Everyone decided that it was Lee who had promised to do it.

Because it is a big crime for a concubine to commit suicide, she is not eligible to be buried in the concubine's garden, but for the sake of her two children, she is still buried with a concubine ceremony.

The eldest princess went into the garden overnight and cried in front of Li Xuling.

King Ruijun, as the son of Li Yi, seemed to be afraid of being implicated, so he did not go.

This move was too cool, and the other masters and minions were secretly talking about it.

It is said that this should not be investigated further, so as not to continue to cause panic among the people and make the Queen Mother unhappy.

After all, Li promised to confess his guilt and died.

But Nichuho didn't believe it was that simple.

Yongzheng came to see her.

Ni Chuhe leaned on his arms, a little haggard because he had not eaten or slept well recently, "Since Li promised to confess his guilt, it is still not appropriate to investigate again on the surface, so as not to disturb the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother."

It's just that the concubines don't believe that this matter was done by Li Promise and King Ruijun. ”

Yongzheng patted her on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I will definitely find out." ”

Even if she has lost any affection for the Li family for so many years, it is just for the sake of a pair of children to give her some decency.

But the Li family suddenly disappeared like this, which finally made Yongzheng a little irritable.

What made him even more chilling was Hongyu's actions.
