The matter of the murder case in Cining Palace can no longer be hidden, not only Yue Qingming and them, but even the Queen Mother's side and Jiang Qianbai's side already know, and now the court is talking about it, speculating about what the situation is, why it has not been found out who the murderer is until now.

Jiang Qiancheng's heart was naturally anxious, but in this situation, it was useless to be anxious, even if he was anxious, it was impossible for the murderer to appear in front of them by himself.

Jiang Qianbai and Gu Shun saw Jiang Qiancheng in the imperial study: "Why haven't you told us about the murder case in Cining Palace?" ”

"After all, the incident happened in Cining Palace, and it can't be spread."

Gu Shun and Jiang Qianbai looked at each other: "Since it can't be spread, what's going on now?" Everyone in the palace knows it! ”

"I should know everything, but that's not what I mean."

"You mean, someone deliberately spread the news of the death case in Cining Palace?"

Jiang Qiancheng nodded, now he couldn't think of anything else except this possibility, but he wasn't sure who was spreading the news behind his back.

When the murder first happened, Jiang Qiancheng and Yue Qingming discussed, the matter may be related to Dong Xi, but the strange thing is that he hasn't seen Dong Xi since then, he is not in Mingyue Tower, he is not in Yue Mansion, no one knows where he went, this matter was suppressed for the time being, but I didn't expect someone to deliberately spread the news.

After Jiang Qianbai and Gu Shun sat down next to them, soon a palace maid came forward to serve them tea.

Gu Shun picked up the teacup and looked at it, as if he suddenly thought of something, he raised his head and looked at Jiang Qiancheng: "Your Majesty, is it possible that someone from Cining Palace spread the news?" ”

"You mean, that's what the Queen Mother meant? The reason? ”

"We want to find the murderer, and the Empress Dowager also wants to, but she herself can't leave Cining Palace now, so she can only let the people around her do this, probably hoping to lure out the murderer."

Jiang Qiancheng touched his chin, this is indeed possible, but this method is a bit stupid, and the effect is very low, otherwise everyone would not know, and there is still no movement from Cining Palace.

Jiang Qianbai asked, "Then Your Majesty, do you have any suspicious candidates now?" ”

Jiang Qiancheng shook his head: "I'm confused, I don't have any clues." ”

Jiang Qianbai and Gu Shun looked at each other, if this is the case, then this matter is really a bit tricky. In addition, there is also a very puzzled place, there are so many places in the palace, why do you want to leave the body in Cining Palace? Isn't that obviously trying to be discovered?

Jiang Qiancheng also noticed this, but there were no clues, and there were no suspects, even if there was this suspicion, he could only guess that it was because the two people who died were the descendants of Cining Palace, so after killing them, he had to throw their bodies back.

Gu Shun guessed and said: "Is it possible that that person did it on purpose, just like the murder method in the legend of the rivers and lakes, reminding someone in advance that his death date is coming and something like that." ”

"But almost half a month has passed since the murder of Cining Palace, and nothing has happened in Cining Palace in this half a month."

"This ......"

Gu Shun's expression suddenly became decadent, if this was the case, then he couldn't find any other possibility, and he was not familiar with the things in the palace.

Jiang Qiancheng and Jiang Qianbai were both thinking, this matter has been spread, if the murderer cannot be found in a short time, I am afraid that the matter will be made bigger, after all, the place where the murder happened is in Cining Palace!

Jiang Qiancheng frowned tightly, looking worried, if someone suddenly mentioned at this time that in order to protect the safety of the Empress Dowager, she was asked to leave Cining Palace temporarily, the matter would be difficult.

At this time, in Chuxiu Palace, Yue Qingming was also trying to help find the murderer, but unfortunately, half a month had passed, and there was no trace at all.

She leaned back on the soft couch, sighing while eating the pastry, Ruyi walked up to her, she hesitated for a long time, but still felt that she should tell her what she had guessed in her heart.

Yue Qingming saw Ruyi's solemn expression, and guessed what she wanted to do with herself, so she spoke directly: "Ruyi, say whatever you want to say directly, we are all so familiar, you don't have to talk about it." ”

Ruyi said: "Queen Mother, I'm thinking, after the murder of Cining Palace, Dong Xi disappeared, and he couldn't be found anywhere, will this matter have something to do with him?" ”

Yue Qingming frowned slightly, she did have such a suspicion at the beginning, but Yue Qingming couldn't imagine why Dong Xi did this, with his ability, why did he just kill the two subordinates of Cining Palace? If he wants to make trouble, he should kill the Queen Mother directly!

But Dong Xi didn't do that, and Dong Xi didn't have a reason to do so.

Yue Qingming touched his chin and looked like he was thinking, although Dong Xi was still suspicious in this matter, but Yue Qingming didn't want to believe that the matter was related to him, even if he couldn't be found anywhere now.

Ruyi looked at Yue Qingming's face, and said, "Queen Mother, if you don't doubt Dong Xi's words, then have you ever thought about going to Cining Palace to meet the Empress Dowager?" ”

"Why did you want to see her?"

"What if this is a warning?" Ruyi said: "What if the murderer really wants to get rid of not the subordinates of Cining Palace, but the master inside?" Otherwise, those two subordinates, who have no power and no power, why would they kill them inexplicably? ”

"You mean, the person the murderer really wants to get rid of is actually the Empress Dowager, and those two subordinates were just eliminated as a warning to her?"

"Exactly."

“……”

Yue Qingming frowned and fell silent, although this possibility is not non-existent, but it should be very low, you can quietly kill two subordinates and throw their bodies in Cining Palace, if you really want to kill the Empress Dowager, it should be very simple.

Jade stepped forward with tea: "Queen Mother, I actually have another guess. ”

Yue Qingming looked at her: "Let's talk about it." ”

"If things are not as Ruyi said, then could it be that those two subordinates saw something that they shouldn't have seen, and then they were silenced?"

Yue Qingming was stunned, this possibility is very likely to exist, why didn't I think of it before!

She immediately got up and patted Jade on the shoulder with a smile: "Let's go, follow me to Cining Palace!" ”

"Yes!"
