On the main seat, Shang Kelan looked at the scene of the two relatives in the audience who were separated and happy to meet, and a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes.

How did Zhao Kexi die at this time? There is also the eldest princess, I have never seen her out of Lanzhou before, why did she want to come to the capital this year?

Shang Kelan pondered, silently observing these from the side, and did not speak.

After Zhao Kehan listened to the words of the eldest princess, he sobbed and said: "My sister has the best relationship with me, and she was emotionally unstable when she came to Ximeng Palace the day before yesterday, I comforted her, how could she die suddenly?" ”

The eldest princess patted her back comfortingly, then raised her eyes and looked at Jin Yantang coldly, and said, "Your Majesty, you seem to despise us Han'er?" Don't forget, she is the princess of the previous dynasty, if you don't call the shots for her, I will make the decisions for her! ”

With that, she took Zhao Kehan and walked towards the outside of the Jinluan Palace.

Things have changed, and no one dares to speak rashly, so they all observe carefully.

As soon as the eldest princess's voice fell, she saw Zuo Xiang stand up with a smile and said, "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, you have come all the way to the capital, why do you want to sit down and have a drink?" Your Majesty is not a tyrannical and mediocre person like the first emperor, but today is a big day, why make everyone unhappy for a corpse? What do you say? ”

The eldest princess looked at him with a smile and said, "Lord Shang betrayed the first emperor, and it was mixed up, but it was a good thing, and in the Chinese New Year's Eve, it is true that you can't disturb everyone's interest because of a dead person, then let people carry Chen Zhaoyi's body here and ask someone to perform an autopsy!" ”

As soon as the eldest princess's voice changed, many people's faces changed.

Not long after this palace banquet began, an autopsy on a dead man was about to be performed, isn't it nothing to find bad luck?

Naturally, the crowd was unwilling.

Jin Yantang looked at her and said lightly: "It's not too late to check after the palace banquet." ”

Zhao Kehan took the eldest princess's hand and said, "Auntie, let's listen to Your Majesty, it's just that I'm afraid that if I go late, the evidence will be lost by someone with a heart......"

The eldest princess glanced at Zhao Kehan, and then said, "No, how can my aunt let you be wronged?" The person I killed today may be your sister, but tomorrow it may be you, how can I despise it? ”

After that, she looked at Jin Yantang and said strongly: "Your Majesty has repeatedly pushed back, could it be that he is covering up the real murderer?" ”

The eldest princess asked Jin Yantang with sharp eyes, on the main seat, Shang Kelan's eyes narrowed slightly, and then she got up and came to her with a smile, and said: "Eldest princess, don't worry, Chen Zhaoyi may have died in an accident, if you want to see the evidence, the concubine and Your Majesty will accompany you to Changle Palace, why bother everyone Yaxing?" ”

The eldest princess glanced at her, she didn't pay attention to her at all, as soon as Shang Kelan's voice fell, she turned her head to look at Jin Yantang and said, "This is not a bad way, just bother Your Majesty to go with this palace!" ”

Jin Yantang's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes were deep and quiet, he didn't know what he was thinking, as soon as the eldest princess's voice fell, he said to Fupu: "Fupu, lead the way." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Fu Pu complied, took a lantern in front of him, and walked outside the Jinluan Palace, leading the way for everyone.

The eldest princess led Zhao Kehan to follow him, and Jin Yantang and Shang Kelan walked side by side.

As soon as a few people left the Jinluan Palace, only the Queen Mother was left to preside over the palace banquet in the Jinluan Palace.

Seeing that these people were still gossiping and looking outside, the Queen Mother said lightly: "Since Your Majesty and the eldest princess are going to deal with the case, you will honestly stay in the Jinluan Palace, so as not to be misunderstood." ”

The Queen Mother has spoken, who dares to explore?

Suddenly, the guests in the hall became honest one by one, and no one dared to delve into it, and besides, it was very taboo to mention the dead during the New Year. Love to nibble on books

At night, Changle Palace.

When he arrived at the palace gate, Fu Pu respectfully pushed open the palace door and said, "Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, Changle Palace has arrived." ”

As soon as the door was pushed open, a cold wind blew on the ground, and the dead leaves fell in the cold wind, looking very depressed.

I saw that no one was cleaning the yard, and the snow and dead leaves were piled up on the ground, which seemed to be a bit deserted.

Everyone saw the scene of Changle Palace, but at this moment, a palace maid walked out with a lantern, and two attendants walked towards them carrying a corpse wrapped in a straw mat, and from a distance, there was a rotting smell wafting in the air.

When the two sides met, the palace maid and the two chamberlains put down the corpses, and respectfully saluted Jin Yantang: "The slave sees Your Majesty, Your Majesty is blessed and safe!" ”

Jin Yantang glanced at the corpse on the ground and said, "Get up, it's Chen Zhaoyi wrapped in this straw mat?" ”

Without waiting for the palace maid to answer, the eldest princess ordered strongly: "Open the straw mat!" ”

The palace maid raised her head and looked at Jin Yantang inquiringly, and saw that Jin Mantang didn't react, so she dared to step forward and open the straw mat.

Suddenly, a pitted dead face and a bloody body with whip marks appeared in front of everyone.

As a result of her death, her wounds rotted and stinky, and she looked horrible.

The palace maid hurriedly turned her gaze and forcibly did not spit it out.

The eldest princess took a closer look, but she didn't react much, but shook her head and sighed: "How ruthless should this person be to do such a thing, Your Majesty, do you still think that Chen Zhaoyi died by accident?" ”

Zhao Kehan's legs were weak, and he stepped forward and cried: "My good sister, why did you die so miserably?" Who killed you? I'm going to call the shots for you! ”

Rao is Shang Kelan saw Zhao Kexi's corpse, and she couldn't help but feel a little nauseous, so she turned her head and said to the eldest princess and Jin Yantang: "Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, the concubine thinks that she should find a servant to perform an autopsy." ”

Zhao Kehan was crying, but when he heard this, he raised his head to refute Shang Kelan, and said angrily: "What's the use of looking for a guy at this time?" These minions in Changle Palace are all ungrateful, and they all ran away when their masters were in trouble! ”

Saying that, Zhao Kehan turned his head to Xin Rui and said: "Xin Rui, you go and find the calligraphy and paintings for the palace, she is the palace maid who serves Chen Zhaoyi closely, and she must know who killed Chen Zhaoyi!" ”

"Yes, sissy."

Xin Rui said, and withdrew, for a while, only Zhao Kehan's cry was left in the courtyard, if there was someone who didn't know to see it, I am afraid I would have to think that Zhao Kehan and Zhao Kexi have a deep sisterhood, right?

Shang Kelan's eyes narrowed slightly, and when she looked at Zhao Kehan, she couldn't help but flash a dark glint in her eyes: from the beginning to the present, it seems that everything is interlocking, Zhao Kehan and the eldest princess have grasped the overall situation from the beginning, and she and Your Majesty, who are completely unaware, seem to be completely led by the nose by these two.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Shang Kelan's mind, and what Yuliu said to him the day before yesterday appeared.

"The slave maid smelled a faint smell of blood on Fu Qingxi's body, and he seemed to have just come out of the East Palace."

Could it be that on that day, Zhao Kexi was already dead?

Thinking of this, in an instant, Shang Kelan's heart sank suddenly, and she subconsciously looked at Zhao Kehan, and a hint of suspicion flashed in her eyes.

Jin Yantang looked at Zhao Kehan lightly, his expression did not fluctuate, it seemed that he was just a passerby, and all this had nothing to do with him.
