Chapter 492: Countermeasures
Seisenden
Xia Chutao has been pacing around the hall with some uneasiness, and the words of Li Meiren, who has come to the Qingquan Hall for the first time, have been ringing in her head.
She still saw Gardenia coming, but she said something inconsequential to Xia Chutao.
"Don't you think it's weird? His Majesty has been trying his best to investigate this matter thoroughly, but there is no clue at all, and it is really rare to see that it has been handled so cleanly. ”
"That person, but he's in a hurry to destroy the evidence...... Maybe you'll be able to see it soon. ”
What Li Meiren said had no beginning or end, and Xia Chutao also felt very confused, but she couldn't understand more things.
That series of things happened next to Xia Chutao, and Xia Chutao also wanted to figure it out, but he didn't have a clue.
Thinking of this, Xia Chutao suddenly remembered the previous monitoring system.
Xia Chutao also felt that this matter was too much of a coincidence, everything was superimposed, and it seemed like it didn't happen again and again.
"No, I'll have to see what the hell is going on this time."
Thinking about it, Xia Chutao hurriedly called up this monitoring, but was surprised to find that this monitoring system still has a cooling CD.
"Good guys, two months cooldown......"
At the beginning of summer, Peach's brows were furrowed tightly, but it was cooled down at this critical juncture.
"It looks like this matter has to be postponed."
Xia Chutao couldn't help muttering like this, but at this time, she saw Jin Ling coming in in a little panic.
Before Xia Chutao could ask, Jin Ling was a little nervous.
"Oh my aunt, this morning those people who pruned the branches fished out Gardenia's body in the pool in the imperial garden."
When Xia Chutao heard this, she was shocked and immediately stood up.
It came so suddenly......
"What? Gardenia's corpse? ”
Xia Chutao only drugged Gardenia yesterday, and the next day such a living person just said that it was gone?
"Yes...... The specific reason is not known, and what is currently said is that they fell into the water and drowned. ”
Jin Ling also felt that this thing was sudden, a person who was fine yesterday is gone today, and it is strange and terrible to think about.
"That person may be destroying evidence......
Xia Chutao remembered Li Meiren's words, and she didn't know why, Li Meiren seemed to have known such a thing a long time ago, otherwise why did this sentence seem to refer to it.
Why Gardenia......
Xia Chutao frowned, and then a very frightened thought flashed in her heart.
"Could it be that these things are also related to Concubine Min?"
When Xia Chutao was still thinking about it, Jin Ling said to Xia Chutao.
"Auntie doesn't have to think about it so much, anyway, she will be out of the palace at that time, and I'm afraid these things have nothing to do with my aunt."
As she spoke, Jin Ling put the bottle she brought in on the table in Xia Chutao's hand.
"Nope."
Xia Chutao shook her head, and her answer was a little surprising to Jin Ling.
Jin Ling looked at Xia Chutao in astonishment, not knowing what Xia Chutao meant by this.
"These things must be investigated before I can leave the palace with peace of mind."
After hearing this, Jin Ling felt that it was okay.
She came to Xia Chutao's face and slowly squatted down, carefully saying to Xia Chutao.
"Auntie, are you confused...... This kind of thing, my aunt also knows that these things are all around my aunt, and it will be dangerous for my aunt to stay in the palace for a little longer, and seeing that Cao Meiren's mourning period is almost over, my aunt has to take advantage of this opportunity. ”
Xia Chutao was silent, and what Jin Ling said made sense.
This opportunity is indeed rare, as long as you leave here, you can completely get out of all this.
But......
"Ji Guiren, she is still in a coma now, these things can't be left like this."
Xia Chutao still couldn't worry about this matter, and felt very distressed when she thought that Ji Guiren was still lying in bed unconscious.
"Auntie......"
Xia Chutao couldn't listen to Jin Ling's persuasion, but stood up from the stool.
"No, I'll have to find out about it. Gardenia's matter can already explain some problems, people who were fine yesterday are gone today, don't you think it's strange Jin Ling? ”
Jin Ling stopped talking, she naturally knew that these things were unusual, but she couldn't stop Xia Chutao.
"Auntie, how do you check this? His Majesty has been investigating for so long and has no clue, and it is difficult for my aunt to imagine how difficult it is. ”
Xia Chutao didn't listen to these words, Jin Ling didn't know what she was capable of.
She also shook her head in the face of Jin Ling's questioning, and then patted her chest and said.
"The mountain people have their own tricks for this matter."
"Since they're here for me, there's a first time and a second time."
"Let's just wait patiently."
Jin Ling looked at Xia Chutao who was confident in disbelief, although she asked Xia Chutao how to do this, but Xia Chutao did not explain directly, so Jin Ling didn't want to ask too much.
"Jin Ling, do you know where Gardenia's body should be now?"
"Back to my aunt, this palace maid who hanged herself in the palace is a big crime, and she is usually sent directly to the Shen Criminal Division. But in such a situation as Gardenia, I don't know whether it was self-hanging or falling into the water, and she was usually sent to the side to check the cause of death. ”
Jin Ling looked at Xia Chutao with a solemn face and explained slowly.
"Now come with me to the other side."
Xia Chutao slowly stood up and said.
"Auntie, do you think Gardenia is ......?"
"I don't know what the situation is yet, I'll talk about it when I ask about it."
Xia Chutao's face was solemn, and she refused to say anything superfluous, but she had already thought of a series of methods in her heart.
......
Xia Chutao and Jin Ling walked to a house, this house is in the corner of the palace, very remote, plus it is a place for autopsies, with an eerie atmosphere, and there is a faint stench wafting out.
"Auntie, let the slave maid go in and ask, aunt should not enter such a place."
Seeing this scene in front of her, Jin Ling couldn't help frowning, covered her nose and said to Xia Chutao.
"It doesn't matter, if I don't go in and ask carefully, I'm afraid I will never get a result."
Xia Chutao said lightly, she had never been anywhere before, how could she see a place to store the corpse that could scare her.
Xia Chutao walked directly into the house, and there happened to be a servant inside who was about to go out.
Xia Chutao hurriedly stopped the servant and asked.
"May I ask if the body of Gardenia from Luoxia Palace has been delivered today."
"Hey? Who are you, no idlers are allowed here. ”
The man looked Xia Chu Tao up and down, and said in a bad tone.
"This is Xia Shangyi of Qingquan Palace, you little trick don't get out of the way!"
Jin Ling saw that she didn't know Xia Chutao, and she was still disrespectful, and she was busy and said angrily.
"Ah, the little one who has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, it turned out to be Aunt Xia of Qingquan Palace, and the palace maid who fell into the water was sent to us early this morning."
This work can be regarded as clever, and when he heard that it was the aunt in the palace, he quickly changed his face and said.
"Did you find out what the cause of death was?"
"Back to my aunt's words, this gardenia is indeed dying strangely. Originally, the slave thought that he had hanged himself or had fallen into the water, so he casually checked it. However, this inspection found that there was not the slightest amount of water in the gardenia's stomach. ”
"It stands to reason that whether it is a person who hangs himself or falls into the water, this will choke on the water in the lake and eventually die of breathing blockage. But this gardenia has a normal belly, so the minions temporarily believe that she has been killed and thrown into the lake before she falls into the water. ”
The explanation made the early summer peach's thoughts gradually clear.
Sure enough, as Li Meiren said, someone really wants to destroy the evidence.
Gardenia must know a lot of the inside story, so the mastermind behind the scenes decided to get rid of Gardenia in order to prevent future troubles.
Xia Chutao was so distracted that he forgot to kneel in front of him.
The man looked at Xia Chutao, who had a solemn face in front of him, and said without saying anything else.
"The slave still has to rush to the Shen Criminal Division to explain this matter clearly, and I still bother my aunt Mo to stay here for too long, the gloomy atmosphere in this room is really not something that my aunt can bear."
Xia Chutao came back to her senses, thanked her for the gesture, and walked out of the house with Jin Ling.
"Auntie, what's the matter?"
"There is really something strange in this, Gardenia neither fell into the water, nor hanged herself. The mastermind behind this really wants to eradicate all future troubles. ”
Xia Chutao said in a low voice, but now the monitoring is still cooling, and there is really no other way to know for the time being.
"Auntie, Concubine Min has always been at odds with you, and Gardenia is her personal palace maid, could it be her ......?"
"Jin Ling!"
Xia Chutao hurriedly looked around, and after being sure that there was no one, she glared at Jin Ling slightly angrily and said.
"That's why your big mouth can say that in the palace!"
"Auntie, the slave knows her mistakes."
Jin Ling was also a little faster, seeing that Gardenia's death was so strange, it was difficult not to think about Gardenia's master.
"Whether it's Concubine Min or not, I don't know yet, but if I wait, everything will fall into place."
Xia Chutao said in a low voice, thinking secretly in his heart.
"Damn, when the old lady's monitoring is cooled down, I will definitely turn it out one by one to see if it is a good thing that you, the concubine, have done!"
"Look at this gardenia's death so strangely, it's probably the hand of this concubine!"
"In addition to this Min Concubine, who else can there be, who has a grudge against my peach cutie on weekdays, isn't it this Min Concubine?"
"This concubine also has the means, but my peach is better, otherwise how could I be saved by my peach peach twice in a row?"
The barrage is chattering about the next plot, and in Xia Chutao's heart, he has already thought of a countermeasure.
