Chapter 39: Punished

"You're quick."

Jin Lingluo raised his eyelids slightly, and a cold light emanated from the bottom of his eyes, instantly breaking his elegant and noble aura.

Feng Wei unconsciously lowered his head, presented the portrait with both hands, and explained: "My subordinates are going to ask Father-in-law Bao for a favor, the old case in Xucheng has dragged on for so long, and it can't be delayed any longer." ”

Jin Lingluo only glanced at the portrait, but did not take it, nor did he plan to look at it.

The identity of the blue baby has been revealed, if the person who came to him today was Bai Xiao, maybe Jin Lingluo would not be angry. But Feng Wei is different, he is too emotional, impulsive and credulous, and in the long run, he will definitely lose his judgment of Blue Baby.

So he has to stop the loss in time to keep him in memory for a long time.

"Since you like to make your own decisions so much, then from now on you will go to the Zhuangzi in various places to take a look and check the accounts. When to check it out, when to come back. ”

Feng Wei was immediately anxious, and hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Your Highness, your subordinates know that they are wrong, so you can spare your subordinates." ...... later"

"You can let go of Youduwei's case." Jin Lingluo interrupted him and said in a deep voice, "Go down." ”

At this time, Lan Baobao didn't know that Feng Wei had been "driven out" of the capital, and she was about to be interrogated by Si Zhengsi in the near future.

It's also unlucky, she just went to the Pearl Mirror Hall of Shengcai during the day, and Shengcai was killed that night.

The favorite concubine who was in the prime of her life was bled to death in her own palace, but no one in the palace noticed it, which was really a miracle.

Lan Baobao heard about this at noon the next day, Fang Fei and Qiu Yue were very frightened by this incident, and thought that Lan Bao had been to the Pearlescent Mirror Hall yesterday, so they hurried to remind her.

"Did Shengcai people bleed while sleeping? No one heard her call for help? Isn't the palace maid close to her side serving, how can she let Shengcai be alone? Blue Baby asked in surprise.

The reason why she felt that it was quiet when she went to the Pearl Mirror Hall yesterday was that her father-in-law and Shengcai had cleared the scene in advance. But as a favorite concubine, there must be palace people around to serve her, and there should be few opportunities to be alone.

Fang Fei and Qiu Yue glanced at each other and shook their heads.

"I heard that it was bloodshed in the bath, and several palace maids seemed to be guarding outside at the time." Fang Fei said uncertainly.

In the afternoon of the same day, the blue baby was taken away by Si Zhengsi's people. And during this period, there was another episode, Feng Ai was gone.

According to Zhu Ruifu and Zhang Xi in the same hospital, Feng Ai went out before the hour yesterday afternoon and has not returned until now.

Not in time? Lan Baobao thought about it, wasn't it when she and Feng Wei met. At that time, they also met Feng Ai, and it turned out that he had not been back since.

Although they were taken away by Si Zhengsi for interrogation, they were also routine and checked all the people who had contact with Shengcai yesterday.

Lan Baobao was very glad that when she left the Bead Mirror Hall yesterday, the pink-clothed palace maid had already made a confession with her, and no matter who asked, she said that she was here to paint for Shengcairen.

This must be a confession arranged by the father-in-law in advance, for fear of arousing suspicion and questioning by others.

I think it's also taking advantage of the fact that she can draw, and since she helped You Duwei paint a portrait, the palace can't hide this skill.

So even if Shengcai people ask her to paint, it is a very common thing.

As the so-called drama has to be done in a full set, before the blue baby left the Pearl Mirror Palace, Shengcai came to see her again.

Baby Blue remembered her face and drew a portrait of Shengcai last night.

According to her oral statement, Si Zhengji searched her room again, and sure enough, he found the portrait. The peculiar style of painting made those who collected evidence admire, and after praising the blue baby a few words, their attention was taken away from her.

Shengcai was killed, and the death was so miserable, and the saddest thing was His Majesty and Shengcairen's family.

The Pei family is still a bit powerful in the imperial court, and with the favor of Shengcai, the Pei family is naturally much more beautiful than before.

As a result, now that her daughter died suddenly, whether emotionally or otherwise, the Pei family will not give up.

Lan Baobao didn't care about the things in the harem, but because Feng Ai hadn't appeared, and there was a feud between him and Shengcai, the suspicion on his body became heavier.

In order to find someone, Si Zhengsi asked Blue Baby to draw a few portraits of Feng Ai.

Originally, everyone had always been skeptical that she could paint, but since the incident of Shengcairen, the number of people who came to her to ask her to paint a portrait suddenly increased.

At the beginning, Blue Baby would agree to draw a few pictures because he couldn't save face.

Later, when the number of people became more and more, she was too much to resist, so she claimed that a portrait was worth a piece of silver, in an attempt to scare away those who asked for it.

Sure enough, a silver ingot was not a small amount for the palace people, so fewer people came to ask for paintings.

Blue Baby secretly breathed a sigh of relief, being able to paint two or three paintings a day, which was both paid and could be regarded as a triple win.

Three days later, Si Zhengsi finally found Feng Ai.

However, what he brought back was a corpse, drowned in the Tai Liquid Pool, which was very close to the Bead Mirror Hall.

At first, Si Zhengsi thought that Feng Ai was going to kill Shengcairen, and then jumped into the Taiye pool to commit suicide.

However, after an autopsy, it was learned that Feng Ai had been attacked before his death due to the wound caused by a sharp weapon on his back, and based on the filth in his mouth and nose, it was inferred that he had been pushed into the river and drowned while he was injured.

In this way, it proves that Feng Ai was hunted down and killed before his death, and this person is likely to be related to the case of Shengcairen.

Si Zhengsi checked all the interpersonal relationships of Shengcai before his death, and found that Shengcai was a delicate person, even if he was a little arrogant, but he rarely had bad relations with others. To this day, it has not been found out who had enough motives to kill her in such a brutal manner.

Regarding the progress of the case, Lan Baobao heard about it intermittently from Fang Fei.

The injury on her back has healed, and she is about to start working again, and now that Feng Ai is also dead, she will follow Zhang Xi and Zhu Ruifu to do her own work.

From time to time, people will ask her to paint a portrait, and she will rotate every day, except for sleeping, and she will not stop for a moment. So much so that she almost forgot that she still had a task ahead of her.

It wasn't until His Majesty was angry that Shengcairen's case had not been solved for a long time, and ordered the case to be handed over to Youduwei, that Lan Baobao was beaten by Jiang Lingxun again.

The blue baby is frightened and tired, can't she live a good life? Among so many chamberlains, there are many people who are very good-looking, and they want to stare at her alone.

Fortunately, there is still Feng Wei in the Youdu Guard, and occasionally fighting with him can be regarded as a comfort in the midst of suffering.
