Cui Jinxi didn't go to greet the queen for another week, and I heard that the queen washed her face with tears every day in Kunning Palace, and Shen Xuanxin, the man, didn't even go to comfort his wife.

The queen is sad and doesn't see anyone, and the emperor has never entered the harem, even with a group of little wives who are worried. Just when Cui Jinxi thought that the queen would continue to close the door and not see guests, the two rough palace maids in Li Zhen'er's palace disappeared.

The palace people around Li Zhen'er searched the entire Changyin Pavilion inside and out, but they couldn't find the two missing palace maids.

In this deep palace, the life of the palace maid was not worth mentioning, but after all, two big living people disappeared for no reason, Li Zhen'er was afraid that something would go wrong, so she took the palace maid Yulin to Kunning Palace to ask to see the queen.

In fact, the queen is not crying every day as everyone said, she is not haggard, and she looks no different from before.

Li Zhen'er saluted the queen: "Say hello to the queen."

The queen didn't say too much to greet: "Su Yun said that you have something important to say."

"Back to the queen's mother, the two palace maids in the concubine's palace suddenly disappeared. The concubine sent someone to search Changyin Pavilion but did not find the two palace maids, and the other palace maids said that they didn't see them when they went to bed last night. ”

The queen pondered for a moment and then said, "You go back first, and I will send someone to look elsewhere."

I haven't seen anyone for a day and a night, and I haven't left anyone, and it seems that someone is restless again.

The father-in-law in Kunning Palace led a group of people to search in various places in the harem, and the news of the disappearance of the two palace maids soon spread.

……

"Master, I heard that the two palace maids in Li Guiren's palace are missing, and the whole father-in-law is looking for them everywhere."

Someone is missing again, and the palace is really not peaceful.

"An Chun, you go and tell everyone that it's okay, don't walk around, especially at night, and don't discuss the disappearance of the palace maid."

Cui Jinxi has a faint worry in his heart, it is definitely not as simple as the disappearance of the palace maid, I don't know who will be involved, or what conspiracy there is.

The two rough palace maids are missing, who will do anything to the people in Li Zhen'er's palace, she doesn't seem to have offended others. Could it be that the two palace maids accidentally heard something they shouldn't have heard and were killed, or someone deliberately killed Li Zhen'er's people and wanted to frame it for others.

Cui Jinxi spent the night with these questions, and when she got up in the morning, she was dressed and was about to go to Kunning Palace to greet the queen, when she heard Xiao Luzi hurriedly running over and saying that the two palace maids had found it in the pear orchard.

The pear orchard is behind the Snow Drop Xuan, and it is not next to the Snow Drop Pavilion, and the Snow Drop is still some distance away from the pear orchard.

"Those two palace maids ......"

"The two maids were dead, and when the father-in-law found them, they were tied to the pear tree, and there were no other wounds on their bodies except the traces of the binding. The father-in-law suspected that he had been poisoned. ”

It doesn't make sense to poison two palace maids and tie them to a tree, why do you have to tie them to a pear tree if you are poisoned, just throw them in the pear orchard, and it will save trouble. Unless the murderer first tied people to the pear orchard and then poured poison.

Forget that it is important to invite An, Cui Jinxi took An Chun to Kunning Palace. The queen sat on the throne with a solemn face, and the concubines below were no longer in the mood to joke in the past.

After everyone arrived, the queen began the duty of the eldest wife, that is, to admonish: "If the palace is uncomfortable a few days ago, everyone will be exempted from asking for peace." The two palace maids in Li Guiren's palace disappeared yesterday and were found in the pear orchard today. ”

The queen looked around and then continued: "The emperor was worried about the affairs of the court in the previous dynasty, and he didn't like that some people in the harem were playing tricks to make some things that were smoky, and now there are still people who are not honest."

"Quanhai will talk about the palace maid in front of everyone."

"Back to the queen's minions, they found the two palace maids in the pear orchard, they were dead. The minions were initially suspected to have been poisoned, but it was later discovered that they showed no signs of poisoning. The slave felt as if he had been executed by raining plum blossoms. ”

Cui Jinxi has seen this kind of punishment on TV, which is to tie up people so that they cannot move, and then use wet yellow paper to paste them layer by layer on their faces to block people's mouths and noses and cause them to die. This is a particularly cruel punishment, how can anyone in the harem be so ruthless.

Cui Jinxi looked at everyone's faces, all of them are big beauties, who would be so femme fatale. Why do you want to harm someone with this method, Cui Jinxi is puzzled.

Father-in-law's words also shocked everyone's faces, and it seems that everyone also knows about this punishment.

"Did you find anything on the palace maid?"

"I didn't go back to the queen."

"Have you searched carefully around the pear orchard?"

"There is nothing abnormal, the servant just found the unused yellow paper in the place where the palace maid died."

"Go find out where the yellow paper came from."

When the greetings were over, everyone looked different. Cui Jinxi also returned to Xuexuan with An Chun with doubts, and when he arrived at the house, Cui Jinxi pulled An Chun into the inner room.

"Where is the yellow paper in the palace?"

An Chun thought for a moment: "It should be the Shen Criminal Division."

An Chun knew that the queen would definitely be able to think of the Shen Penal Division.

After everyone left, the queen took people to the Shen Penal Division, and she asked the father-in-law in charge of the Shen Criminal Division to gather everyone for questioning.

"Everyone knows that there was a murder in the harem, and the thing that killed the palace maid was yellow paper. The only place in the harem where there is yellow paper is the Shen Punishment Division, so the murderer is among you. ”

All the palace people of the Shen Criminal Division knelt on the ground: "The queen spares her life, don't care about our business."

As soon as the queen saw that she couldn't talk to them well, she came to something hard. She asked Jeonhae to pull everyone out and beat ten boards, but the one in charge still said that he didn't know what the situation was.

Later, there was a man who was afraid that he couldn't bear it and recruited him, and he said that a little eunuch took silver and exchanged some yellow paper for him. He didn't know which palace the eunuch belonged to, and he hadn't seen that he should be a new entrant.

There were more eunuchs in this palace, so the queen asked Quan Hai to take the eunuch from the Shen Criminal Division to identify one palace after another.

This makes everyone scared, in case the people in their palace are identified, they can't be washed by jumping into the Yellow River.

When Quanhai took people to the Snow Pavilion, Cui Jinxi was using it

For lunch, such a group of people came in, how could she still have the heart to eat.

The eunuch of the Shen Penal Division looked at all the eunuchs in Xue Xuan, and finally shook his head, which meant that there was no.

The final result was unexpected, the eunuch identified a little eunuch named Jixiang in the Changchun Palace, and he said that it was the one named Jixiang who gave him silver to exchange for yellow paper.

Concubine Hui was dumbfounded on the spot, even if she wanted to harm someone, she wouldn't do it so obviously. Quan Hai took Hui Guifei and the one named Jixiang to Kunning Palace to wait for the emperor to send them down.

Shen Xuanxin is not the kind of person who thinks that the life of the palace maid and eunuch is not the life, he thinks that human life is the same, and he did not say that the poor should die, and the rich should live. He looked condescendingly at the concubine Hui who was kneeling on the ground: "Concubine Ai, why did you kill those two palace maids?"

"The emperor's concubines don't have them, and the concubines won't do such brainless things. The concubine is wronged, please ask the emperor to investigate. ”

Shen Xuanxin's gaze did not soften a little: "Oh, wronged." Have you forgotten that I hate the harem concubines the most for murder, but the concubine is a talented woman, and her mind is so vicious. ”

Concubine Hui couldn't believe that the emperor used the word vicious to describe her, and the emperor didn't believe her like this.

"Does the emperor convict his concubines based on the identification of a eunuch, and the concubines will not accept it or die."

Shen Xuanxin stood up from the chair and said, "Okay, with your tenacity, I will also let people check again." Someone came to bring Hui Guifei back to Changchun Palace. ”

After Shen Xuanxin finished speaking, he left, and Concubine Hui was imprisoned in Changchun Palace before she found out. The people sent by the emperor found that the yellow paper was not the yellow paper used by the Shen Criminal Division, but was dyed yellow with paint. The man went to the Internal Affairs Office to inquire about the concubines who had recently received paint, only Xu Liangyi in the Yuhua Pavilion.

Look at how unexpected the result was, Xu Fanxi killed the palace maid and framed it to Concubine Hui.

Xu Fanxi was escorted by the Imperial Forest Army to kneel on the ground, and a room full of women looked at her. She couldn't have imagined that she would be found out so soon.

The queen gave her the opportunity to explain: "Xu Liangyuan, what else do you have to say?"

"The concubine has nothing to say."

Li Dezhong rushed from the Heart Cultivation Hall to pass on the emperor's edict: "Emperor Fengtian Chengyun edict said: Liangyi Xu's mind is not right, endangering the harem, and he will be demoted to the last class to change clothes, and he will be admired."

Xu Fanxi smiled palely, she stretched out her hands and slowly caught the edict: "The concubine receives the decree."
