The palace person's name is Mei Tian, and she lives in the same room as Kwai Chuan, although she is timid, but the confession has not changed a word after several interrogations, and it is familiar like reciting this confession thousands of times.

She said that Kwai Chuan was supposed to be on duty yesterday, but at the beginning of the year, she came back to the duty house crying and crying, and asked Kwai Chuan, Kwai Chuan only said that she had knocked over the concubine's powder box, and was reprimanded for not mentioning it, I am afraid that she would have to be punished back to the Huanyi Bureau to do hard labor, she comforted Kwai Chuan a little, and then the two blew out the lamp and rested.

When she opened her eyes this morning, she didn't see Kwai Chuan, and she was very puzzled.

Because she is on duty in the morning and Kwai Chuan is on duty in the night, how can Kwai Chuan get up earlier than her? She was faintly uneasy in her heart, thinking that Kwai Chuan said last night that it was better to die than to serve hard labor for life, so she became more and more worried, so she searched around, and found Kwai Chuan's shoes at a well on the east side of the concubine's bedroom, and then quickly notified Wu Gongling, who took someone to inspect it, and found Kwai Chuan's body at the bottom of the well.

According to this confession, Chungui came to two simple conclusions: first, Kwai Chuan did have the idea of seeking death; Second, Kwai Chuan was alive at least at the beginning of last night.

Of course, if Mei Tian's confession is untrue, the conclusion may be completely opposite: first, Kwai Chuan has no intention of seeking death; Second, Kwai Tsunami had already died before the beginning.

Mingzhu wasn't sure if Mei Tian's confession was true, so she asked about Kwai Chuan being reprimanded by the concubine, which led to more witnesses - in addition to Wu Gongling, there were three palace people who were on duty with Kwai Chuan last night.

They all drooped their eyelids, guarding the palace rules and not daring to look directly at the crown princess, which also made the crown princess unable to see from their gaze whether there was a lack of dodge. However, Chungui left an opinion among those present, and there was a palace maid and a eunuch whose expressions seemed to be different, so she reminded Mingzhu to bring those two, Mei Tian and the other three witnesses, to Gong Zhengji for more careful interrogation.

This matter naturally met with Qian Zhaoyi's refusal.

The crown princess asked these people, but has there ever been a confirmation that Kwai Chuan was murdered? But you still want to bring the people of Yongning Palace to the palace Zhengsi, do you want to bend into a trick to frame the concubine? โ€

At this time, the Wu family also returned to the scene after settling the delirious Concubine Zheng, so he naturally had to "defend against the enemy" with Qian Zhaoyi: "The concubine Niangniang is uneasy because of Kwai Chuan's accident, if the crown princess detains this manpower again, wouldn't it be useless to serve Niangniang's daily life and diet?" โ€

"There is a shortage of manpower, so naturally Concubine Jing Niangniang arranged to make up for it, as for how Niangniang and Gong Zhengsi judged this murder case, don't talk about money

Zhaoyi and Wu Gong order, even the concubine Niangniang has no right to intervene, Qian Zhaoyi empty mouth and white teeth accused the palace of wanting to bend into slander and harm the concubine, has violated the palace rules and etiquette, this palace is the last warning, if Qian Zhaoyi is unreasonable to stop the mother and the palace Zhengsi from asking the case, the palace will have reason to suspect that Qian Zhaoyi is a thief, in order to rectify the stability of the inner palace, even Qian Zhaoyi is afraid to move to the palace Zhengsi to be tried. โ€

"I sit upright, not afraid of the princess's bloody mouth!" Qian Zhaoyi was not so easily threatened.

"Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, the slave can testify!" It was the eunuch who looked hesitant at first: "The slave Xu Dao, the official of the Yongning Palace, is the same township as Kwai Chuan, Kwai Chuan is recommended by the slave and maid to enter the Yongning Palace to serve the concubine Niangniang, if Kwai Chuan is really reprimanded by the maid, he will not forget the slave and maid, please ask the slave and maid to intercede with the maid for her, and will never just confide in Mei Tian and not want to throw herself into the well." โ€

The insiders of Yongning Palace actually jumped out to claim that the cause of Kwai Chuan's death was suspicious, and Qian Zhaoyi and Wu Gongling were completely speechless.

So the group arrived at the palace division, and it was still the crown princess as the chief judge, and Chungui was only responsible for "picking up the missing and filling in the gaps", and the first person to ask was another palace person in Yongning Palace with a flickering expression.

Her name is Gui Pei.

In the palace Zhengsi, Gui Pei also seemed to have made up his mind, and knew everything: "The slave maid was originally the eyes and ears of the queen's mother in Yongning Palace, although she has not been noticed by the concubine over the years, but the concubine only uses a few cronies of Wu Gongling, and the slave maid and Kwai Chuan and so on are not trusted by the concubine at all, that is, they serve by their side, and they just serve tea and water, only yesterday, although Kwai Chuan should indeed be on duty at night, the slave maid saw her replace Mei Tian on duty in the next day. The slave maid was on duty with Mei Tian, because she saw Kwai Chuan, she was still puzzled, and when she asked, Kwai Chuan said that Mei Tian was a little unwell, so she took the initiative to take Mei Tian's duty. But Mei Tian didn't tell the princess about this matter today, so the slave maid felt puzzled in her heart. โ€

"Did any incident happen yesterday when you were on duty?" The crown princess asked.

"No, it's just ...... In the next day, His Royal Highness King Qin came down to Yongning Palace to ask the concubine for her well-being, and the concubine retired as usual, and from then until the next duty, the slave maid did not see Kwai Chuan again, and did not know what happened to the concubine's bed at night. โ€

"Only His Royal Highness the King of Qin asked the concubine for her well-being?" Spring return asked.

"Yes, the concubine has never had a good impression of the princess of Qin because of her hatred of the king of Qin, after the king of Qin and the princess got married, at first, every ten days, the princess would enter the palace to ask the concubine about her well-being, but she was reprimanded by the concubine for making things difficult...... Qin Wang Lian

I pity the princess, so I asked for the favor of the saint, and only the king of Qin entered the palace to say hello. โ€

"When I go back to King Qin, the concubines are not allowed to be idle?" Chun Gui asked again.

"It's the meaning of Wu Gongling, because the concubine ...... Will reprimand the king of Qin, do not allow the king of Qin to sit down, the king of Qin has to kneel for an hour to return to Bai'an, Wu Gongling thinks that it will damage the face of the king of Qin, so he retreats from idleness, and warns the slaves and maids not to publicize the 'rumors' that the king of Qin has been blamed. โ€

Gui Pei did not know the cause of Kwai Chuan's death, and her confession could only prove that Mei Tian had concealed something.

The next person to ask is Xu Dao, he has been on duty in Yongning Palace for three years, but he is not the eyes and ears of others, he is the Yongning Palace that is normally transferred to the Yongning Palace, but Zheng Guifei has never liked the eunuch's personal service, Xu Dao has not been mixed with the concubine's cronies for three years, and the reason why he is still good in Yongning Palace is because he is so careful to please Wu Gongling that he is a little valued.

He and Kwai Chuan are fellow villagers, and the two of them also have a love for food in private, because they can't bear to see Kwai Chuan doing heavy work in the Huanyi Bureau, so he recommended Kwai Chuan to enter Yongning Palace, but Kwai Chuan is not willing to accept the status quo, and wants to be favored by Zheng Guifei's blue eyes, and one day he can enjoy the scenery of Wu Gongling, which requires more appearances in front of the concubine, according to Xu Dao, Kwai Chuan volunteered to replace Mei Tian on duty is not the first time.

As a result, Chungui discovered that Gui Pei's confession was still untrue.

So the crown princess interrogated Gui Pei again: "You said that you and Mei Tian are of the same value, so you should have known that Kwai Chuan often replaced Mei Tian in the past, why were you suspicious yesterday?" also specifically asked why Kwai Chuan replaced Mei Tian? โ€

Gui Pei never expected that such a small loophole would be detected by the crown princess, so she had to tell the truth thoroughly.

"Don't hide it from the princess, although the slave maid has obeyed the queen's orders, then ...... At first, I didn't notice that there was anything strange in Yongning Palace, so that I was completely ignored by the queen and couldn't think of such a person as a slave and maid, let alone ...... Hearing that the queen's phoenix body was sick, the slave maid became more and more uneasy, and she had no one to rely on in the future. Although not long ago, because of Kwai Chuan's temptation, the slave maid was also suspicious, but this matter ...... The stakes are very large, and the slave and maid really dare not recklessly say these speculations. โ€

What she originally planned was to tell one or two clues, take the opportunity to get out of Yongning Palace first, it is best to get the princess or concubine Jing to reuse, and she can benefit without taking a little risk, how do you know that the princess wants to get to the bottom of it.

Gui Pei gritted his teeth and said firmly: "The slave suspects that Kwai Chuan was killed by the concubine at all!" โ€
