The little palace maid took Gu Peiqing to the outside of a palace, Gu Peiqing looked up, although this palace is not as magnificent as the palace she saw before, but it is small and exquisite, even the stone steps and pillars outside the palace gate are carved with all kinds of complex patterns, the plaque above the palace door is black on a blue background, surrounded by gold edges, and the "Bamboo Word Palace" looks fresh and elegant. The little palace maid retreated, and the eunuch at the door hurriedly went down the steps to meet Gu Peiqing, he looked to be in his thirties, and there were already fine lines at the corners of his eyes.

The eunuch led Gu Peiqing into the palace, as soon as he entered the palace, the fragrant fragrance of flowers followed, two whitebait wearing white lotus incense burners were smoking green, a woman in a rich phoenix tail skirt with purple flowers was sitting in the front of the palace, and there were eight palace maids standing next to her, she frowned, she was impatient, and saw Gu Peiqing walking into the main hall, and said busily: "Lord Gu doesn't need to be polite, the little girl's Zhuyan Hall has entered the villain, not only committing murder, but also blaming the little girl, please Lord Gu catch the murderer." Concubine Yue wiped out Princess Jueya with a word, but Gu Peiqing did not follow her words, and only said: "Do your best to find out the truth, please rest assured." ”

The expression of the year-old maid next to Concubine Yue changed a few rounds, Concubine Yue's face was displeased, and she got up and said, "Lord Gu, don't delay time, please start." With her slender nails moving, the elderly maid beside her walked up to Gu Peiqing and said, "Please also ask Lord Gu to follow the slave to the princess's bedroom." ”

Bypassing a courtyard full of flowers and plants, the princess's bedroom appeared in front of you, and on either side of the bedroom were ear rooms, where the princess's subordinates lived. "The princess is now in Concubine Yue's palace, she is frightened, if Lord Gu has something to ask her, please wait for her to calm down, let's take a look at her house now."

As soon as Gu Peiqing entered the bedroom, he was shocked by the luxurious decoration, the golden bed and jade pillows, the doors and windows were inlaid with gold and silver, the curtains were draped, and the gold and silver threads were embroidered with various scenes, all of which were the same. There are various exotic flowers on display in the cabinet, and several long swords hang on the wall, all of which are decorative swords. A large pool of blood fell in front of the bed, which was particularly eye-catching, and half of the jade Ruyi was thrown to one side, and the other side was missing. "Could this lady please tell me what's going on here?"

She pointed to the bloodstains, and there was no fear on her face, it seemed that she was used to seeing bloody rain in the palace: "When the princess woke up from a nap today, she found that the maid Pei'er next to her was smashed to death by Yu Ruyi, she was covered in blood, her doors and windows were closed well, and the two eunuchs outside the door were also guarding the door to make sure that no one else was in or out." Pei'er's body has been carried away, if Master Gu wants to check it, I will ask someone else to take you to see it, by the way, I have also arranged for an examination. A maid died when she died, but this matter has been known by many slaves and maids, I am afraid that I will chew the root of my tongue, and now the princess is not married, if the rumors spread, how can the princess find a good match, please Lord Gu and return the princess an innocence. Gu Peiqing naturally knew the meaning of her words, and Concubine Yue had already hinted at it once.

"Please call the slaves and maids beside the princess, and I will inquire them one by one."

The three palace maids and the four eunuchs stood obediently in front of Gu Peiqing, all of them looking panicked, and they could see that the two palace maids had cried quietly, and their eyes were red. "1510 told Master Gu, if you hide something, don't you understand if you don't have good fruit?" The older maid spoke sternly, and she seemed to have quite accomplished in teaching people.

The seven people nodded again and again, not daring to look at Pei Qing squarely.

"Who's going to talk about what happened today?" Gu Peiqing asked softly.

The seven of them were silent, not daring to be the first bird. "What about telling you to speak, taking dumb medicine?" The old maid's sharp eyes killed.

The eunuch standing on the far left stammered, "Today... Today... It's me... It was me and Changtian on duty, and the princess went into the room after lunch, and then told us to call Pe'er in, and she wanted to take a nap. When Pell went in and closed the door, there was no other sound, and after an hour the princess was heard screaming, and we rushed in, and there was blood all over her clothes, and on her face. We hurriedly called someone. ”

The eunuch named Changtian nodded and said, "That's true. ”

The rest of the palace maids only said that Pei'er was always by the princess's side, and they all rested in the ear room, and the three of them testified to each other. Another little eunuch went to other palaces to chat with other eunuchs, and he was not in the Zhuyan Hall at all.

Gu Peiqing looked at them one by one, and understood that the older maid was here, and they didn't dare to say anything, so they could only wait for her to leave and ask.

He approached the princess's bed, and the bloody clothes he had changed into were placed on the bed, and next to the bed was the same whitebait as the front hall wearing a white lotus incense burner, but no cigarette smoke came out, he lifted the lid, pinched some cigarette ash out, sniffed it in front of his nose, and found a little palace maid to ask for a handkerchief, and wrapped some incense ash.

"Lord Gu thinks there's something wrong with this incense?" The older maid asked.

"I'm not sure, what kind of incense is this?"

"It's calming," replied the little palace maid who gave the handkerchief, she was still young, only fourteen years old, "it was given to the princess by the concubine Yue." ”

"What's your name?"

"The slave is called Huanxin."

Gu Peiqing patted his left hand with a folding fan and said to the older maid: "Let's stop here today, I'll go back and sort it out first." ”

"Lord Gu, Concubine Yue knows that you don't have to go to Qin Tianjian these days, so she specially ordered that you will live in the Lanxin Courtyard next to the Zhuyan Hall these days, firstly, to facilitate your investigation of the scene at any time, and secondly, to save your time back and forth, if you need to find someone outside the palace, just order the slaves and maids."

Gu Peiqing's heart "chuckled", and he only said: "Is it wrong for me to live in the harem as a man?" ”

"Now is a special period, and the emperor has agreed."

When Li Anyan waited for Hai, he still didn't see Gu Peiqing's figure, he asked Ah Ye about the location of Shen Xiangfu, rode Gu Peiqing's white horse and ran straight away, and when he arrived at the door, the gatekeeper said straightly: "Childe is so late today, no matter who you want to find, you have already rested, please come back tomorrow morning." ”

Li Anyan said yes, but walked to the back door, saw that there was no one left and right, and climbed over the wall to enter. As soon as he landed, two black shadows appeared in front of him.

"It's you." Li Anyan was speechless for a while, wasn't it the person who had been chasing him for a long time before, which made him vigilant, and he hid outside for more than ten days before going to find Gu Peiqing.

Lan Dian also recognized Li Anyan, and felt angry in his heart, it was because he chased him that the second lady was taken captive, and he was also fined two months' wages, the salary is small, if something happens to the young lady, he will regret and blame himself for the rest of his life.

Li Anyan has fought with him, knowing his strength, Li Anyan is slightly better, but now there is one more person by his side, it is unpredictable to win or lose, and I am afraid that he is the one who suffers.
