Chapter 170: The Secret of the Year

"Tell me, what's in there?"

Chu Yue saw Chu Xi's cautious appearance, and couldn't help but sit up straight.

Her instincts told her that the contents of the package must be very unusual.

Sure enough, Chu Xi hesitated again and again before he said: "Nobleman, there, it is the queen's body that can only be like cloud brocade." ”

A second-class palace maid beside Concubine Wan actually had Ruyun brocade in her hand that could only be used by a queen, which really looked wrong.

"That is like Yunjin, the slave doesn't dare to delay for too long for fear of being discovered, but he can still see that Ruyunjin has been made into a small swaddling cloth, and there are pieces of black in the swaddling clothes."

Seeing Chu Yue's expression becoming more and more solemn, Chu Xi didn't dare to say anything more about half and half of it, and hurriedly told Chu Yue about the discoveries that followed.

"The swaddling clothes seem to have been for many years, and the slave also took advantage of someone not paying attention, so he sneaked into the side hall and saw it, the large black patch, I think it should be bloodstains, only because it has been too long, it will become black."

After Chu Xi finished speaking, Rouge immediately opened his mouth, "Nobleman, in recent years, only the eldest prince and the second prince have been born in the palace, and the second prince is now living in the palace well, will this swaddling ......?"

Rouge also hesitated a little when she spoke, and she didn't dare to say anything more.

But how could Chu Yue not hear what it meant, and her face was very solemn.

Rouge's words speak for themselves.

The second prince has not suffered from any serious illness, so he is naturally the eldest prince......

There were so many dried blood stains in the swaddling clothes, which shows that there were many suspicious places in the affairs of the eldest prince back then.

Chu Yue has a hunch that once this matter is revealed, it will definitely shock the entire harem again, and what role Wan Guifei plays in it, Chu Yue doesn't know.

But she knew that Wan Guifei definitely had a lot to do with this matter.

Chu Xi discovered such a shocking secret, which really surprised Chu Yue.

was about to think deeply, but the palace maid of Changqing Palace came at this time, and wanted to invite Chu Yue to change her clothes and makeup, and go to Changqing Palace to participate in the palace banquet.

The matter could only be put aside for the time being, Chu Yue changed her dress, and followed the palace maid to Changqing Palace with rouge.

When I arrived at Changqing Palace, the main hall was very lively, many concubines were already sitting in their positions waiting for Feng Jixuan's arrival, those important ministers and court wives, and the ladies of the family were also standing together in groups of three or five, laughter came out from time to time, and clothes of various colors gathered together, which made Chu Yue dazzled.

found his place and sat down, Chu Yue was just about to take the hot tea handed over by the palace maid, but Linlang came over quietly at this time.

"Your honor," Lin Lang whispered in Chu Yue's ear, "That little eunuch is the lowest eunuch on duty in the Bright Palace, named Fang Qiming. Erxi's father-in-law has already gone to check his recent whereabouts, and Gao Zhong's guards are also following him, and the slave has something important to look for you, so he will come back first. ”

"What's the matter?"

Listening to Linlang is a little serious

Chu Yue's face still did not change, and let the palace maid on the side continue to serve tea.

"Fangcao is indeed related to the death of the eldest prince back then, so it was killed."

As soon as the words fell, no matter how calm and calm Chu Yue was, he couldn't help but show a somewhat surprised expression.

Fangcao, pink peach, green bamboo, Gu Baolin, Qu Zhaoyi and Wan Guifei......

There seems to be an unclear line between these people, connecting them one by one, forming an invisible web.

What was caught in the net was the real reason for the death of the eldest prince that year.

Thinking that the matter actually involved the imperial heir, Chu Yue slowly paid attention to it, and decided to wait until he returned to Yingyue Palace to let Linlang investigate this matter.

She waved her hand lightly, "You keep an eye on Wan Guiren carefully, and tell me immediately if there is anything suspicious." ”

Linlang took the order, took a step back, and quietly paid attention to Wan Guiren's every move.

There was something in his heart, and by the time Chu Yue came back to his senses, there was only less than half an hour left for the palace banquet to begin.

Chu Yue raised his head and looked around, except for Feng Jixuan and the Queen Mother, who were not here, they were basically all there.

Sensing that someone seemed to be looking at her all the time, Chu Yue subconsciously looked back, but found that it was Wan Guifei.

Wan Guifei held the teacup and looked at her with a smile.

Chu Yue only felt that there was something wrong with Concubine Wan, and subconsciously made a gesture at Linlang under the table.

Linlang hurriedly stepped forward and leaned into Chu Yue's ear, "What's the matter with the nobleman?" ”

Chu Yue whispered a few words in Linlang's ear, and only when Linlang left quickly did she sit up straight, secretly praying that it would not be what she thought.

Wan Guifei watched Linlang leave, still looking careless, with an extremely faint smile, but also extremely sarcastic.

Looking at Wan Guifei's sarcastic smile, Chu Yue frowned slightly, only feeling a little strange.

Wan Guifei seems to be confident, but recently, Chu Yue also sent Linlang and Chu Xi to keep an eye on Wan Guifei and Wan Guiren, and did not find any abnormal behavior between the two.

Chu Yue couldn't figure it out, where did Wan Guifei, who didn't move at all, get her confidence, as if she was sure of what would happen today.

Looking at Concubine Wan's body, she also surrounded the wives and ladies of the family, which was very popular.

Those ladies were dressed up in fancy clothes, although they smiled around Wan Guifei, but their eyes glanced at the door of the main hall from time to time.

It seems that the drunkard is not in the bar.

And Wan Guiren actually sat next to Wan Guifei, and it was rare that there were no emotional ups and downs on his face, just sitting there, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

It was the first time Chu Yue saw her face so calm as water.

was surprised by the performance of the Wan nobles, but the voice of Desheng's announcement suddenly came from Changqing Palace at this time.

Feng Jixuan and the Queen Mother came.

Chu Yue followed everyone to salute, and the Queen Mother said "no courtesy" before sitting down.

Sure enough, as soon as Feng Jixuan came in, the eyes of those ladies of the family were hotly locked on Feng Jixuan's body.

Chu Yue

lowered his eyes, hiding the sarcastic smile in his eyes.

These girls who want to fly on the branches only yearn for glory and wealth, who would know that once they enter this palace gate, they will have no chance of freedom for the rest of their lives.

What's more, in this palace, you are cheating, and if you are not careful, you will disappear quietly.

Chu Yue thought so in her heart, but the whole person was very low-key, only lowered her head and ate slowly, running quickly, thinking about how she should deal if something really happened.

Feng Jixuan, who was in the first place, glanced in the direction of Chu Yue with a vague look, and found that the latter seemed to be in a daze, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook slightly, and he was in a very happy mood.
