Chapter 336: Strange
After Chu Xiyu sent the man away, he stood alone in the desolate courtyard, staring at the green vines on the wall, and the strange thought in his heart became deeper and deeper.
It's weird, it's weird.
On weekdays, for this kind of similar deserted garden, for the stewards of the palace, even if they dislike them, at least they will send a few more people to clean and clean up, so as not to look like this ruined wall now, and now those indiscriminate plants here are not only not built, but also let them entangle the whole garden into a terrifying one.
Spring is outside the park, and autumn is inside the park.
Chu Xiyu paced a few times, and finally sat down on a relatively clean stone.
The surroundings are covered in shade by the clamor of vegetation, dead leaves and new leaves are entangled for sunlight, and moss grows all over the ground, but it is strangely beautiful.
"The number of people in the harem is incalculable, even I haven't been able to keep it all in my heart, it stands to reason that there should be more people in this part of the concubine's garden, why have I never heard anyone talk about it? At least there will be a few concubines who are similar to my trip today. ”
Chu Xiyu thought secretly, and suddenly remembered the Chengxi Palace near here. Chengxi Palace used to be Yan Jieyu's dormitory, there is no reason why she would ignore this garden, there must be something hidden here.
There were birds flying in the gray-blue sky, and a slight chirping lingered in the air for a few seconds, Chu Xiyu stroked her hair, and the doubts in her heart swelled and grew stronger in the silence.
When she came back to her senses, the footsteps behind her were close, Chu Xiyu turned her head suddenly, and saw Xiao Yuanzi clasping her hands into fists, and she was about to kneel on one knee if she didn't agree with her, so she hurriedly stopped: "No need, no courtesy, just come back, what's the situation?" What's the clue? ”
"Back to Chu Guifei," Xiao Yuanzi lowered his head, his tone was a little cold, "I am incompetent and have not been able to find out too much valuable news." ”
"Not at all? So why did you stay there for so long? Chu Xiyu was a little disappointed, and a slight look of anger appeared on her delicate cheeks.
"That's not the case, it's just that during the next investigation, I heard that the edict in the palace clearly stipulates that you can't inquire into the past and things of this garden at will, so there are some twists and turns along the way."
"So what exactly did you find, tell me quickly." Chu Xiyu helplessly supported her forehead, and Xiao Yuanzi calmly told Chu Xiyu what she had heard about this trip.
It turned out that this garden was a prosperous place for pleasure because Yan Zhaoyi lived, which was heard by the investigator in the mouths of several subordinates, and I don't know when, some say that it is quite a long time, and some say that three or two months ago, in this garden, the body of a little palace maid was found here, but the news is not complete, and I don't know whether the body was moved here or other reasons.
"It should have been quite a long time, Yan Zhaoyi was still living in the Chengxi Palace near here before, she would definitely not let the nearby garden be empty and left unattended."
Chu Xiyu listened to Xiao Yuanzi's words and secretly analyzed.
"That palace maid's name is Xiao Yan, and there shouldn't be many people who know her, and the people I asked don't seem to have much impression of her." Xiao Yuanzi bowed his head slightly and said gloomily.
"That's not necessarily, there are some palace maids who don't know their names since they entered the palace, and sometimes in the end, they still have to give her a pseudonym in the end." Chu Xiyu pondered, "Besides, if it happened in the past for a long time, this person may not be remembered, and the speed of replacement of the subordinates in the palace is not slow."
"Yes. And after the body of the palace maid was discovered, there should have been someone to manage the garden, but I heard that it was because of a woman that the garden was completely abandoned. "Love you eBook
"A garden abandoned because of a woman?" Chu Xiyu's eyes widened in surprise and stood up in disbelief. "Are you sure the message is correct? Normally, the gardens in the palace are not places that the concubines can govern, and they are only allowed to pass, so they won't abandon the once prosperous gardens because of a woman, right? ”
"Forgive me for my incompetence, and only probed these few words." The man clenched his fists again.
"Did you ask anything about that woman? Are you a member of the Royal Palace? What's your last name? Chu Xiyu's heart beat wildly, and she felt that in the dark mystery in her heart, there was a faint light shining, as if she was struggling to break through the sea fog.
"I don't know." Xiaoyuanzi said.
Chu Xiyu's heart suddenly fell silent in the darkness again, and the light left in front of her.
"Thank you, you can go back first. Do not mention the things of today to anyone else. Chu Xiyu waved her hand helplessly, and a little tiredness appeared on her face.
"Your concubine doesn't have to be like this, I am naturally a loyal person who works for you." With that, the little circle retreated out of the garden and disappeared.
The dead leaves of the trees swayed and swung down after the wind, and landed at Chu Xiyu's feet, she couldn't help but sigh when she looked at the desolation and gloom all over the ground.
A woman can waste a garden; A palace maid, unknown but whose body was found here, used to be regarded as a noisy amusement mecca, but she had never heard anyone talk about it, obviously a spacious garden in the palace, but in the end it was reduced to this unattended appearance.
Chu Xiyu's heart was like drifting in the sea, the waves and the huge waves suffocated her, she thought that the final clue had been finalized, but she didn't expect that it was the sea fog that suddenly blinded her entire vision.
Chu Xiyu knocked her head in distress, Fang Cai's legs were a little numb, and after standing up suddenly, she was embarrassed to complain in front of her subordinates, she was so miserable!
Chu Xiyu endured the numbness spreading on her legs, stood still and eased for a while before she could move her lower limbs slightly, she brushed the dust on her body, and walked out of this garden where even the air was extremely damp.
From the beginning, it was extremely strange, and now it is also clueless, Chu Xiyu walked out of the garden, physically and mentally exhausted, this matter must be investigated, she thought, and hurriedly walked to her bedroom.
"Nonsensical?" Chu Xiyu was walking quickly, and suddenly paused again, and a difficult voice in her heart called her unhurriedly, helping her remember what the investigator had just said.
She was about to forget.
"I heard that the edict in the palace clearly stipulates that you can't inquire into the past and affairs of this garden at will."
This meant that all the messages were blocked, and even if he tried his best, he could only find this information.
Chu Xiyu rubbed her eyebrows sadly, and before she knew it, she had returned to the palace, and returned to the couch to continue thinking, the voice in her heart was difficult but firm to drive her, little by little to encourage her to explore this buried secret.
"Since it is clearly stipulated, then I will secretly investigate why the palace maid Xiao Yan died there, and who that woman is, this must not be a simple matter."
Chu Xiyu's eyes shone slightly, and she had a headache due to overthinking, and gradually fell into a deep sleep.
