"Your Majesty......" The eunuch swallowed his saliva, frightened, and stammered for a long time, "Concubine Lin, dead." ”

After everyone heard the news, their faces changed, and no one dared to make a noise anymore, only to see the emperor's face gloomy and not say a word.

After the eunuch finished speaking, he also prostrate on the ground, not daring to look up to see the emperor, Concubine Lin has been very favored recently, originally today's palace banquet, Concubine Lin was also going to be present, she said that she was not feeling well, and the emperor did not let her come.

But how long has it been since she died?

All of a sudden, the entire palace banquet was in chaos.

Shen Xi was stunned, she asked Lu Qingyi in a low voice, "Who is Concubine Lin?" Looking at the emperor like that, he must be quite favored, but who dares to start at such a juncture? ”

Lu Qingyi also frowned slightly, "It's better for you to know a little less about this harem matter." "The harem is chaotic, and there are many things that kill each other for favor, and there are countless people who have died, but today's movement is a little bigger.

Before the palace banquet was over, the emperor left directly and went to Concubine Lin's palace.

Shen Xi and Lu Qingyi are both outsiders, there is no need to get involved, Liu Congwen was called by the emperor.

Chang Yi is not interested in these things, but he will sigh a little.

The women in the palace, who can survive, either have the means, or have a heart that does not fight or grab.

It's just a pity for this concubine, but seventeen or eighteen years old, she was sent into the harem by her parents as a concubine at a young age.

At a young age, he died in the harem.

Shen Xi and Lu Qingyi were sighing, and Lu Qingyi received another urgent report, saying that the emperor asked him to go, Lu Qingyi frowned slightly, "What do you want me to do?" ”

"Just check it out." Shen Xi said softly, "I'll go with you." ”

"Don't go to that filthy place, stay here in peace." Lu Qingyi didn't want Shen Xi to be contaminated with those blood.

"How can I not go if you go, although this palace is big, I don't know it at all, so I should rest easy by your side." Shen Xi thought that if Lu Qingyi and Chang Yi were gone, she would stay alone in this huge hall, and she only felt afraid in her heart.

Lu Qingyi rarely saw Shen Xi's dependence on him, so he didn't say anything more, and let her follow.

When Shen Xi saw this scene, he almost threw up, why did he die so miserably?

The emperor only stayed for a while and left, leaving the matter to Liu Congwen to deal with, Shen Xi looked at the emperor's indifferent look, and suddenly sighed that the emperor was cold-hearted, no matter how much he was favored, it was only before he was alive, and he was not a pile of dry bones after death.

I saw Concubine Lin's body slumped to the ground, because it was raining, the blood was also mixed with the rain and flowed all over the ground, her face seemed to have been burned, full of dense small holes, which looked extremely terrifying.

Shen Xi looked at Concubine Lin's corpse, and her whole body was cold, and her palms were cold.

"The emperor asked you to see what the cause of death was?" Liu Congwen was on the side, the imperial doctor in the palace couldn't find out the cause of death, and he didn't know the cause of the festering on Concubine Lin's face, so he wanted to call Lu Qingyi to see what was going on.

Lu Qingyi was silent for a long time before he walked up to Concubine Lin and carefully examined the wound on her face.

"This face is splashed with brimstone." Shen Xi was terrified when he thought about it, how much he hated her face to make such a poisonous move. Reading Building

"She wasn't awake before her face was disfigured." Lu Qingyi said softly, "Before pouring sulfur, she drank the drug, and her face was slashed with a knife. ”

As soon as Lu Qingyi's words came out, Shen Xi stepped back again, no wonder she didn't hear a cry for help until she died.

After Lu Qingyi finished examining it, the body was carried to the ice vault of Dali Temple by Liu Congwen and put it away, and her body could not be buried before the truth was found out.

Concubine Lin is just a concubine, and if she dies, she will die, and no one will redress her grievances. Although his father was an official in the court, he was just a petty official, and he originally thought that he would be favored in the harem by relying on Concubine Lin, and he would be able to go smoothly in the officialdom, who knew that he gave away a life in vain.

Because too many people know about this matter, the emperor has to let Liu Congwen find out the truth, and it will take some time to suppress it.

Concubine Lin was killed in the palace, compared to when Concubine Lan jumped into a well late at night and died, it was even more serious, and it made people panic and rumors spread for a while.

In order to resist the rumors, the queen cut off the tongues of many rumors of palace maids and eunuchs and threw them to Xinzheku to work as coolies.

Because of this, the entire palace was very depressed.

Shen Xi heard Chang Yi and Lu Qingyi talk about the recent events in the palace, and her back was cold. Since the palace banquet that day, she has had nightmares for several nights in a row, and now hearing them say this, she feels even more cold in the palace.

I heard that Liu Congwen had found out the murderer, a palace maid who usually didn't like to talk, and was often bullied by Concubine Lin, so he had a murderous intention for a while.

"It's really terrible that just a palace maid can have this kind of means." Shen Xi thought that she was lucky that she didn't wear it in the harem, otherwise she wouldn't know that she would have died eight hundred times.

Lu Qingyi smiled, "Do you really think that the murderer is a palace maid?" The palace maid is just a backstabber, and the real murderer is still at large. ”

Shen Xi instantly felt like falling into an ice cave, in the palace, this person's life is so poor? As long as you are powerful and powerful, even if you kill people and set fires, there are people who take the blame.

She was instantly extremely disappointed in the emperor.

Shen Xi was affected by this incident for a while, and during this time, all she had in her mind was Concubine Lin's disfigured face, as well as the palace maid who was inexplicably carried by the black cauldron, this palace was far more cruel than she imagined.

Shen's bookstore is still open normally, and Shen Xi's new book she began to prepare the second part after resting for a while, after all, nothing big can affect her making money, and that's someone else's business.

After the second part came out, he was robbed again, and on this day, Liu Congwen, who had disappeared for a period of time for fundraising, appeared, and he brought his book to Shen Xi to drink tea.

"I wonder if you don't feel tired from walking all this far to read your books every day?" Shen Xi really can't stand it anymore, she is not allowed to come here to rub tea and rub places.

"You are a bookstore, there are many people, so you have the atmosphere of reading books, I will sit down and you will not lose anything." Liu Congwen was not affected by those things, and Shen Xi also heard that he met an unreasonable bully when he was fundraising, and scolded him to the blood, but he didn't seem to care.

"Hey, you've been scolded like that, why are you still in such a good mood?" Shen Xi was really puzzled, if she was scolded like that, if she didn't return it, she was afraid that she would be bored with nothing.

"It's pretty well informed." Liu Congwen looked at Shen Xi again, "Then do you know where he is now?" ”

Shen Xi shook his head.

"I was imprisoned by me and insulted the court officials, and the crime is not light." Liu Congwen said indifferently, as if he was talking about other people's gossip.

Shen Xi, "......"
