In the early morning of the next day, Shen Xi instructed Fu Chuan to let him take a good look at Shen Fang, and hurried to Lu Qingyi's mansion after she didn't want her to be too tired.

The two entered the house together.

"What's going on?" Shen Xi didn't beat around the bush, Liu Congwenneng came to find Lu Qingyi early in the morning, and he definitely didn't come to play.

"That palace maid committed suicide in the prison." Liu Congwen's expression was serious, and he just wanted to find Lu Qingyi as soon as possible.

Shen Xi was only stunned when he heard the news.

Originally, she wanted to use that palace maid to involve everyone behind her, but now that she committed suicide in the prison, no clues have been broken.

Lu Qingyi was also stunned when he heard the news, neither of them expected that the palace maid protector would protect him to this point.

In the prison, because Liu Congwen asked the prison prison to keep all the scenes, where the palace maid's body was still lying, there were traces of blood at the corners of her mouth, and there were dense ants on the bloodstains, but in one night, the corpse seemed to have rotted for a long time.

The prison was already filthy, and a corpse had been left here overnight, already crawling around with cockroaches and rats.

Shen Xi almost didn't throw it up when he saw it.

She had a suicide note written in blood.

The font was crawling with ants, Lu Qingyi felt very uncomfortable when he saw this scene, Liu Congwen had seen many such scenes, he squatted down and picked up the suicide note and glanced at it.

The handwriting on it is correct, and I think I have read it.

"Her family is poor, so it stands to reason that she has no conditions to study." Liu Congwen frowned slightly, thinking about the authenticity of this suicide note, but when he asked the prison guard, he said that no one had come in last night.

Someone must have taught her to read.

"What's written in the suicide note?" Shen Xi took a long time to recover and asked.

"She took all the guilt on herself." Liu Congwen's voice was indifferent, "Her motive for killing is also written on it." ”

Lu Qingyi frowned, he took the suicide note, which was full of her hatred for the queen mother.

She used to sincerely want to serve the Queen Mother well, but the Queen Mother didn't believe her very much, always found excuses not to give her food or water, and beat her with a whip at every turn and then left her in the dirty basement.

In the end, she said that everyone said that the Queen Mother was merciful, but only she knew how vicious the Queen Mother was.

In the suicide note, she has a heart for every word, and every word shows the royal thin and cold blood.

They don't know what the truth is, and if it was really just like this, she wouldn't cut her tongue out again, and then cut herself off now.

What can be explained clearly is that she defended that person until her death.

It is difficult to distinguish whether the things on the suicide note are true or false, but it is certain that the emperor will be furious when he sees this suicide note, and then he will believe that she killed the queen mother, and only in this way will Liu Congwen and the others not continue to investigate, and the person she protects will be fine.

She is well versed in the rules of survival in the palace, and she also knows that the emperor's family is cold, so she has this suicide note accusing the queen mother, which seems to be accusing the queen mother, but in fact, it is not the entire royal family.

She died, but her purpose was achieved. Reading the Library

With the emperor's temperament, he will definitely not let this matter become known to everyone, which is related to the dignity of the royal family.

Shen Xi glanced at Lu Qingyi and said, "Now that she is dead, the clues are broken, will the case be investigated again?" ”

This palace maid is the only clue, and now that the palace maid is dead, I'm afraid the next thing will only be more difficult.

How many people died in vain in this palace, and how many souls were buried?

Lu Qingyi glanced at the body of the palace maid and said coldly, "I'm afraid that the emperor won't let me investigate it anymore." Then he turned to the prison guard and told him to carry the body out. The emperor should have rushed to the prison now.

Not long after the body was placed outside the prison, the emperor and queen and others rushed to the scene. Even though Chang Yi had been on the battlefield and seen many dead people, he was very uncomfortable when he saw this corpse, and the queen vomited even more, as if she didn't expect that this night, this corpse had been tossed like this.

The sun in late autumn was mild, but today the whole palace was dull and very hot, and the smell of corpses made everyone very uncomfortable, and the corpses were placed in front of them.

When the emperor read the suicide note of confession, he was furious, he tore up the suicide note, and threw it hard, and the shredded paper fell freely.

The emperor's face was gloomy, and he waved his hand and said, "Come on, bring the whip." ”

Shen Xi was terrified when she heard this, she looked at the usually kind-hearted emperor with fear, but now he has become so cruel that he will not let go even if the person is dead, and she will be punished by whipping.

The prison warden trembled and came up with a long whip.

I saw the emperor pick up the whip and hit the body of the palace maid.

The corpse was already stained with blood, and because of the emperor's whipping, the corpse looked like it was full of holes.

Shen Xi really couldn't bear to look at it, so he turned his head to the side.

The things that this emperor did would always be beyond her imagination, and his cruelty was even more unimaginable, and he refused to let go of the dead.

She used to think that this emperor was kind-hearted, but now it seems that she just didn't touch the majesty of his emperor, otherwise the end would be the same.

Shen Xi couldn't help but sigh, sure enough, the most unrighteous person in the world is just a high king.

"Father, if you whip this corpse like this, if it spreads, it will damage the reputation of the emperor, since she has already punished herself, it is okay to throw her directly into a mass grave." Chang Yi finally couldn't stand it anymore and pleaded for the palace maid.

"Wouldn't it hurt the reputation of the royal family if she said something nonsense?" The emperor was so angry that he was not in good health, and he was so angry that he couldn't stop coughing.

"No matter what she writes, she is already dead, even if you punish her now, she will not feel anything, it will only make the people of the world feel that you have no bearing in your father."

Chang Yi was still gently persuading, "Father, as the lord of the world, you shouldn't make a big fuss because of this little thing." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, no matter what is written in the suicide note, there are only a few people who read it, and it will not reach the ears of the world, but now that you whip her body in front of so many people, it may be possible." Lu Qingyi also stepped forward to persuade the emperor with Chang Yi to sing and harmonize.

Originally, this palace maid was used by others, and she couldn't be at peace when someone died.

It's just a pity that she has her life, if there are still relatives alive, I am afraid that she will be grief-stricken.

"Your Majesty, this kind of thing shouldn't let you worry about it, you should hurry back and rest now, this corpse is so stinky, it must not be good for your health." The queen also stepped forward to take the emperor's hand and comforted.

"Huang Eniang, I heard that this palace maid was given to the queen mother by you before, and the stakes are very high, don't you think you should explain it?" Chang Yi suddenly stopped the queen who was about to leave with the emperor, and said with a slight smile.
