Chapter 16 Murder and Silence

When my eldest sister came to see me, it was late at night. I guess I sneaked in without telling everyone.

"Min'er is fine, it's all because the eldest sister failed to protect you." The eldest sister in my impression is the most undeceiving, I looked at the anxious look on my sister's face, it really doesn't look like a fake, could it be that I thought wrong from the beginning?

"I'm fine, sister, how is my mother now?" Because of the suddenness of the incident, I didn't come to the banquet to say goodbye to my mother, and I don't know how she is now.

"My mother is fine, I have already sent someone to send my mother back to Zhou's mansion, but my father ......"

"What's wrong with Daddy?" I couldn't help but worry as I watched my sister stop talking.

"The gift was presented by Daddy, so ......"

"So what?" My sister's appearance of spitting is really anxious.

"So you are implicated, Daddy is currently in the Criminal Division, and the emperor decreed that before the matter is clarified, I can only wronged you and Daddy." I was relieved to hear my sister say this, but fortunately I was just detained like me, as long as there was nothing else.

"It's okay, sister, someone must have framed this matter. Since it is a frame-up, it will definitely leave clues. I took my sister's hand and comforted.

"Min'er, what is the gift you are presenting today?"

"Sister, do you still remember, did the emperor send us a dowry gift before your wedding?"

"Naturally, I remember, but there's nothing burning in this dowry?"

"Does that sister remember the Night Pearl?" At that time, because I loved it, my sister left the pearl of that night in my room.

"Min'er means that the gift you presented today is the pearl of the night? But ...... "But the Night Pearl is not combustible, I naturally know it, so I interrupted my sister."

"If it's just the Night Pearl, outsiders will definitely not be able to do anything, but what if others don't know that it's the Night Pearl. Sister, do you remember the shadow game you used to play with me when I was a child? ”

"How can you forget, when you were young, you always like to pester me in the yard on moonlit nights to play shadow games with you." Yes, I was only a few years old at that time, and now in the blink of an eye, my sister has been married for more than seven years.

"The gift I give today is the shadow lamp. For this gift, I went to find the head of the Wang family outside the city. He single-handedly designed this shadow lamp, the reason why it is called a shadow lamp, because this lamp can use the light of the night pearl to project shadows in the dark night. The shadow is carved into the inner layer of the lampshade by the Wang family based on the shape of the sister, and the rotation device on the lampshade can make the shadow constantly change. ”

"Min'er has a heart, so in this way, there is nothing in the lamp except the night lamp?"

"Yes, the Wang family is skillful and quite accomplished in carpentry, and this lamp has nothing but wood and night pearls."

After determining that it was not a problem with the lamp, my sister and I carefully sorted out the whole incident, and finally came to the conclusion that the fire in the warehouse this time was not aimed at me, and the other party was more likely to come to my sister, after all, I am the queen's sister, if this is the case, the goal is clear, after all, in this harem, there are not many people who have the ability to arrange people in the warehouse.

I asked the eldest sister to go back first to stare at the movements of the treasury and the ladies of the palace, since the root of the matter is in the treasury, then start from the treasury.

In the early morning, the Queen Mother arranged for Aunt Liu Ruo to bring me food.

"Aunt Xie went on a trip, and I asked Aunt Liu Ruo to thank the Queen Mother on my behalf." Seeing Aunt Liu Ruo, I was not very happy, but a little worried, since the delivery of clothes before the family banquet, the Queen Mother has never hidden her love for me, there must be some reason I don't know.

"The second miss is serious, the queen mother said, let the second miss stay here is really wronged the second miss, as for the fire in the treasury, the emperor has already sent someone to investigate, I believe that the results will be available in two days. During this period, please relax and wait. ”

"Yes, Min'er understands, Empress Dowager Xie cares."

After Aunt Liu Ruo left, I found a book of poems under the lunch box, thinking that the Queen Mother was afraid that I would be bored, so she specially found it to relieve my boredom.

While they were eating, there was a commotion outside.

"My lord, what's going on outside?" I asked, calling out to a jail that had walked past my cell.

Maybe it's because the people who live in my cell generally have special status, (the cells in the prison are also divided into upper, middle and lower, and the upper class is generally used to hold the harem master and important officials), so the eldest brother didn't ignore my words, but stopped to talk to me in detail.

"Does the girl know about the fire in the warehouse yesterday?"

"How could I not have known that I came in because of that." Do the prisons now not even know what the prisoners have committed?

"The warehouse supervisor committed suicide last night, didn't he just find out, and the cell boss is angry."

"Do you know how to commit suicide?"

"I heard that it was taking poison, don't ask, girl, I'm in a hurry." I looked at the back of the prison in a hurry, shook my head helplessly, and went back to my room to sit down.

I know that the treasury director died strangely, and everyone in this palace knows it, but so what, living in this deep palace is like walking on thin ice, who cares about a little director like him.

This ending should have been known from the moment he did things for others......
