Zhenbei excused herself to go to the toilet and walked out.

When he got out of the palace, he found that Qin Wuchen and Nangong Mo were standing in a secluded place, whispering something.

After a while, Nangong Mo turned around and returned to the main hall, while Qin Wuchen was still standing in place, his brows furrowed, as if he was hesitating what to do.

Zhen Bei pretended to pass by him: "Oh, isn't this Lord Qin?" Why don't you appreciate the wine and the beautiful woman, but blow a cold wind outside this palace? ”

Qin Wuchen's eyes lit up when he saw her: "Brother Gu, there is something I want to hear about your high opinion right now!" ”

Zhen Bei said with a smile: "I just happen to have a few things here, I want to ask Lord Qin!" You speak first! ”

Qin Wuchen said in a deep voice: "Concubine Yan is dead!" ”

Zhen Bei was stunned when she heard this, not long ago, she had seen Concubine Yan in the back garden, although the other party looked listless!

"What the hell is going on?"

"We'll talk as we go." Qin Wuchen let out a long sigh and took the lead in walking forward.

Xu Yizheng once said that he was summoned to the Huixin Hall because of the recurrence of Concubine Yan's heart disease, could it be that she died of this disease?

Zhenbei hurriedly chased after him.

It turned out that Concubine Yan had a quarrel with Concubine Li in the back garden, and left the banquet in a fit of anger and returned to the Huixin Palace. Hurriedly went to ask the emperor to invite Xu Yizheng temporarily to see a doctor.

After drinking Xu Yizheng's decoction, Concubine Yan said to her subordinates that she wanted to take a break and let her call her up half an hour before the luncheon began.

At this time they were standing in front of the gate of the temple of the Meeting.

"However, when the palace people went to call her on time, they found out-" Qin Wuchen sighed again, "Go in and take a look, you will know!" ”

The last time Zhen Bei came to the Huixin Palace, she climbed over the wall with Nangong He, and she didn't see the courtyard clearly at night and blindly.

This time, I was surprised to find that this courtyard is known as the first courtyard of the palace, and every scene and thing in it is carefully selected and original!

However, at this time, Zhen Bei had no intention of appreciating it, but at this time, the palace people who were kneeling in the courtyard were all frightened and frightened!

Unless it is found out that the cause of Concubine Yan's death has nothing to do with them, otherwise, these dozens of people will not be able to escape death!

Zhen Bei followed Qin Wuchen into the hall, and Concubine Yan's body had been carried to the ground, and the corpse was covered with a layer of white cloth.

Qin Wuchen glanced at Zhen Bei, squatted on the ground, and raised his hand to lift the layer of white cloth.

Zhenbei couldn't help but gasp when she saw the dignity of the corpse.

Two hours ago, the living beauty, which was still like a flower, attracted people's pity, turned into a dry corpse like dead wood!

If it weren't for the fact that she had already verified her identity, Zhen Bei would have doubted her eyes!

With jet-black hair, coupled with this thin body like an old woman, it is indescribably weird!

Zhen Bei's big eyes looked closely, and there were really two small red holes clearly printed on Yan Feijin!

"At that time, were there palace people guarding near the bedroom?"

Qin Wuchen stood up, pointed to the purple curtain in front of the couch, and said: "At the time of the crime, this curtain was opened, from the time Concubine Yan slept to the time she found that she was dead, there was about an hour or more, and during this period, the palace people who were guarding outside the dormitory were replaced by a total of three people!" ”

Qin Wuchen said a few words to the guard guarding Concubine Yan's corpse, and the guard was ordered to retreat, and after a while, he came over with three trembling little palace maids.

"You tell me the situation at that time, and listen to it again with Gu Gongzi!" Qin Wuchen said to the three.

Let's say that this Concubine Yan is extremely suspicious, and the only person who was originally qualified to be close to her bedroom was her confidant Xiaolan.

After Xiaolan's accident, Concubine Yan didn't have time to cultivate new cronies, so she ordered a few palace maids who were still trusted to take turns to serve.

The three palace maids took a shift every half pillar of incense, and the three of them said that they did not hear anything unusual in the dormitory.

"Have anyone else come in during this time you've been in the room?" Zhenbei stared at the smoke-filled incense burner and asked.

This incense is called "the best of both worlds", extremely durable, each furnace can be burned for two hours, and the aroma is a light jasmine fragrance in the first hour, and a rich osmanthus fragrance in the latter, according to the burning time of the emission of two completely different aromas, and is widely loved by the ladies.

At this time, the pure fragrance of jasmine still wafted from the furnace, and when the time was calculated, someone should have entered the bedroom to change the spices after Concubine Yan slept.

One of the palace maids suddenly had the courage to say: "The slave maid was frightened and confused, and after being reminded by the adult, she remembered that the lily who was responsible for adding spices had come to the mother's room, and the slave maid suddenly had a stomach upset, and asked her to help take care of it for a while, and went to a toilet!" ”

"Why didn't you say something so important earlier!" Qin Wuchen said angrily, "Come on, bring that lily here!" ”

The three little palace maids were so frightened that they hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

The little girl named Lily, who was black and chubby, came up and kowtowed a few times, with slightly wooden eyes, looked at Zhenbei, and said: "The slave did come to add spices, it was Feng'er who told me that there were no spices in the mother's room, so let me come." She was such a nice person, not only did she help me prepare the spices, but she also helped me clean up the leftovers of the furnace for fear that I would be sluggish! ”

At this time, Feng'er, who was exempted from being implicated because she was running an errand abroad, was being brought with Yu'er, the palace maid in Concubine Li's palace.

Qin Wuchen arrested the two of them together, locked them in two different rooms, and interrogated them at the same time as Zhenbei.

On Zhenbei's side, Feng'er quickly confessed, and she began to help her "do things" because of the benefits she received from Cai'er.

"It's very simple, just put a porcelain jar in the place she said, and when it's done, you can get a bag of golden beans!"

"Do you know what's in that jar?"

"I don't know, Xing, maybe it has something to do with that thing, slave maid, I don't dare to think deeply, and later, I found out that every time I put a porcelain jar for them, someone will die, so I don't want to do it. But, Yu'er, she wants to blackmail the slave and maid, and she wants to expose me in front of the mother, so-"

On Qin Wuchen's side, the problem is a little tricky.

Zhenbei told all the news she got from Feng'er's mouth.

Qin Wuchen groaned slightly, and said, "Cai'er's sister Yu'er has already admitted that the things of Bai Aya and sandbags were secretly brought to Cai'er when she borrowed the medicine. She said that because she was too worried about her sister, she bought the medicine boy who delivered the medicine and went to deliver the medicine on her behalf, and the decoction was naturally secretly replaced by her for sugar water! ”

"So, does she admit that Cai'er has been pretending to be crazy all along?"

Well, she didn't deny it. But, why force Cai'er to commit suicide? And the death of the palace maid before, whether it was related to Cai'er, she would rather die than speak.! ”

Cai'er is pretending to be crazy, as expected, however, the "cat god" in her mouth coincides with what Zhenbei saw, how can she explain it?

Zhen Bei's doubts in her heart increased instead of decreasing: "Why didn't that Yu'er send a knife directly, but sent white silk, sandbags and other cumbersome things in one fell swoop?" ”

Wouldn't it be easier to kill yourself with a knife than to hang yourself?

"Brother Gu didn't know that there was an assassination incident in the palace a year ago, and since then, no one else in the palace is allowed to wear a blade without royal guards, including concubines and nobles. There is a knife in the palace every day, and there are special personnel procurement records, so compared to sharp weapons, white silk is more common, and it is easy to prevaricate after the accident! Qin Wuchen explained, "Just like this time, if Cai'er committed suicide with a knife, then this knife is likely to directly expose the people behind the scenes!" ”

Zhen Bei nodded clearly: "I see." ”

"Moreover," Qin Wuchen pondered again and again, Fang said, "I have always felt that her master, Concubine Li, has nothing to do with these things!" ”

has the ability to take out so many golden beans at once, if there is no wealthy nobleman behind Yu'er who secretly instructs and manipulates it, I'm afraid that no one will believe it!

"Oh?" Zhen Bei looked at him and stopped, and said, "Lord Qin suspects that Concubine Li is the mastermind behind the scenes?" ”

Qin Wuchen looked down at the ground, as if thinking about how to speak.

After a while, he slowly raised his head and hesitated: "Concubine Li entered the palace three years later, and the first ten years after entering the palace were not favored by the emperor, and later because of the good incense recipe that was blended, it slowly entered the emperor's eyes. ”
