289, missed sisters
At the time of the accident, Ling Yun was in the imperial study to review the folds, and when Shang Xi led the panicked Yan'er into the hall, although he didn't open his mouth to ask what was going on, he had already vaguely guessed what happened from the few streaks of blood on her skirt.
Dropping the red pen, he led Shang Xi to hurry to the Guan Ju Palace.
As soon as he stepped into the door of the dormitory, he was greeted by the strong smell of blood, his eyes widened, and he stared at Su Jinyu's back as she sat on the ground, blood soaking her clothes.
Shang Xi, who was completely unprepared, saw this scene and quickly covered his lips, he didn't feel disgusted, but he didn't want to exclaim. In all these years of entering the palace, this was the first time he had seen someone die in front of him.
"When the slave and maid came, Niangniang hugged Qin Xin, she kept scolding herself...... "Yan'er who was standing behind her sobbed, she couldn't figure out what Qin Xin couldn't think of, and she wanted to embark on such a road of no return.
Ling Yun took a deep breath, raised his hand and asked them to retreat, and told them that this matter should definitely not be spread, and all the palace people who were in the Guan Ju Palace should be sent out of the palace to prevent gossip.
Closing the door of the hall, Ling Yun could clearly see Su Jinyu's trembling shoulders, she was so hoarse that she couldn't make any sound, and dry tears swirled in her eyes, as if they were not flowing.
"Girl......" walked behind her, and called her in a low voice, at this time she must be hesitant and overwhelmed, how could she withstand such a blow.
The eyes out of the corner of her eyes caught a glimpse of her palms that were holding with her heart, and the blood held them, as if they were inseparable. The deceased is gone, she is going to let go of her after all, Ling Yun lifted his robe and squatted down, holding her shoulders to let her go, but he didn't want her to hug her tighter.
"No...... No...... ......" turned her head a little scared, her eyes were looking forward to meeting Ling Yun's cherished eyes, she didn't want Qin Xin to leave like this, even if her temperature kept dropping, she didn't want to watch her go like this.
One hand stroked Qinxin's cheek and stuck it to her cheek, but those slight temperatures made some people can't put it down.
Ling Yun looked at her without asking why this was happening. He is not a cold-blooded person, and after seeing a person die, he can't care about it at all.
It's just that the person he wants to ask is none other than Su Jinyu, the woman who never hurts anyone, how can he suspect her cruelty, there is not only love between them, but also more important trust.
Ling Yun stood in the hall for a long time, and it was not until Qin Xin's corpse became cold that he reluctantly persuaded Su Jinyu to let go and leave there. Suddenly, many palace people poured into the hall, and they were silent enough to pick up Qin Xin's body and hurriedly leave there.
Yan'er, on the other hand, carefully wiped the blood on the ground. Su Jinyu was reluctant to leave the dormitory, and sat on the soft couch with Ling Yun, watching Qin Xin leave, watching the bed being cleaned carefully.
She knew that she could be willful once, but she couldn't go on like this forever. Turning his head sideways, he stared at Ling Yun beside him, and went down, looking at the fact that his robe was also stained with some blood, and felt a little guilty in his heart, he shouldn't have come in.
got up and greeted him, slowly squatted in front of him, gently wiped his robe, but his red hands didn't want to get dirty more and more, and couldn't help sobbing.
"If you want to cry, you cry out loud. Holding it in your heart, you just wronged yourself. "It's been half an hour since I came in. Su Jinyu always endured and didn't want to cry, he knew that she didn't want to cry in front of Qin Xin, how could she be herself now.
Ling Yun ordered someone to transport Qin Xin's body out of the palace, and found a mountain with good feng shui in the suburbs to bury her quite heavily.
At night, when he came to Guan Ju Hall again, he heard Yan'er say that Su Jinyu was waiting for him, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
In the dark, the pair of dark pupils flickered, and Su Jinyu, who had changed her clothes, sat on the soft couch with her knees crossed, looking like she couldn't sleep at night. Ling Yun lifted the layers of light veil, stepped over to the bed, took a futon, and then covered it on Su Jinyu's body.
"I heard Yan'er say that you are waiting for me, but for the noon?" He wrapped the two of them in a futon, and it wasn't so cold.
"I know you're going to bury your heart's corpse, so I'm not worried. I'm just thinking that maybe I can solve those doubts in your heart. Although you did not ask, you trusted me, but I could not live up to it, so I had to tell all this honestly. ”
Su Jinyu looked at the ceiling and said faintly. Since she mentioned this matter, she simply told the jade cicada half a year ago, how could Ling Yun not know the truth about what happened at that time.
According to what Qin Xin said before she died, it was not difficult for her to guess that the jade cicada was coerced by the queen mother for the sake of her sister that day, and then for the safety of her sister, she took the risk of death and was poisoned. Ji Qiu's death may not be an accident, but a trap set by Jade Chan to win the complete trust of the Empress Dowager.
As the Empress Dowager said, how could the jade cicada, who was as careful as dust, not know about Ji Qiu's poisoning. She chose to be silent, but she wanted to be a complete season, after all, the queen mother would not be deposed by the emperor because of a mere slave, and it was Ling Xiao who was only angry at that time, the powerless Ling Xiao.
For a long time, Su Jinyu thought in her heart that Jade Cicada was that kind of temperamental, but she didn't want that there were still many calculations and conspiracies in this blood.
For a long time, the hall was silent for a long time.
The shadows of the jade cicada and Qin Xin kept emerging in my mind, and the mission of Qin Xin's explanation lingered in my ears. In the huge harem, how can she find out the whereabouts of Jade Cicada's sister without evidence.
Separated when she was young, she may not have remembered that there was a sister in this world who cared about her until death.
"Jade Cicada's family, is there a record from the Ministry of Internal Affairs?" Su Jinyu pulled the futon beside her, she turned around and looked at Ling Yun, she thought he should know a little, but she didn't want Ling Yun to tell her that the first queen mother was a jade cicada adopted outside the palace, and after a few years, how could he have the time to investigate the background of a palace maid.
Even so, it still can't change Su Jinyu's determination to find the whereabouts of her biological sister for Jade Cicada. She doesn't want Jade Cicada and Qin Xin to die blindly, even if she does something wrong in her life, she should get the respect she deserves after death.
In the next few days, Su Jinyu couldn't recover from the matter of Qin Xin, so under Ling Yun's instructions, she canceled the daily greetings and let her recuperate, claiming that it was due to typhoid fever.
Guan Ju Hall replaced all the palace maids, and Ling Yun even transferred the first tone of Yonghe Hall to take over Qin Xin's position. Hatsune, who has always kept her duty, should be able to share a lot for her.
Su Jinyu flipped through the books she took from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which recorded the net worth and background of many palace maids, but the information about the jade cicada was missing, and the blank pages also aroused her suspicions.
Seeing this, although Hatsune didn't know what Su Jinyu wanted to do, he thought that he simply wanted to choose a few palace maids to serve him closely, so he took the initiative to greet him, and when he saw the blank page, he couldn't help but explain a few words.
"It's been a long time since the data has been changed, and it's normal that she hasn't recorded it." What's more, how could she keep these things when she was gone?
"Then where do you have to go to know where the Jade Cicada family is? I once heard people say that she and her sister were placed in this palace by the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother has passed away, so there is no way to know. Su Jinyu closed the book and rubbed her eyebrows with a headache.
When Hatsune heard this, she couldn't help but bend her lips and smiled, "Since the Empress Dowager hid her sister from the Jade Cicada, where can she hide it?" At that time, the jade cicada collected by the Queen Mother outside the palace was only two places left and right. ”
For a disobedient pawn, the chips in her hand are the most important, and she can't just let go easily. Even if it can be placed elsewhere outside the palace, then it has already returned to the palace at that time, and the so-called sister must still be in the palace, either in the Ci'en Palace or in the Chonghua Hall of the concubine.
First of all, the Chonghua Palace was excluded, although the Empress Dowager and the concubine seemed to get along well on the surface, everyone in the palace knew in private, they were just friends in person, and they all had plans in secret.
The Empress Dowager would not be so stupid as to let the chips sit next to the enemy and let them ravage. Then, the only place you can go is the Palace of Mercy and Grace.
With the death of the Empress Dowager, many palace maids in the Ci'en Palace were released out of the palace, even if they wanted to check, there was no way to find out, who could know that the one who went out of the palace was the sister of the jade cicada.
"Perhaps, the man has already left the palace. Mother, the dead are gone, so why should you bother for this. Hatsune took advantage of Su Jinyu's contemplation to brew a pot of Qingxin tea, looking at her trouble, she couldn't help but purse her lips and shake her head.
Qin Xin mentioned that the Queen Mother and Jade Cicada are both concerned about each other. How could the Queen Mother allow the humble Jade Cicada to encroach on her supreme power. Jade Cicada's betrayal, how could she let it go so easily. ”
Frowning her brows, Su Jinyu kept trying to find some clues from it. She is convinced that according to the temperament of the Empress Dowager, she is a person who will not give up easily, and in this way, she will not end up being poisoned to death by the jade cicada.
Speaking of which, it's really exactly what Qin Xin said. The mechanism was exhausted, but they missed their respective lives.
Thinking of Qin Xin, I couldn't help but think of what Li Muyun said again, Qin Xin took her place after the death of Jade Cicada, and once became the personal palace maid next to the Queen Mother.
Qin Zi is the latest palace maid to enter the palace at present.
With such an important position, how could she hand it over to someone she didn't know. Qinxin, although she said that she was sent to work carefully, she was not qualified to serve closely.
Unless...... A flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, Su Jinyu lowered her head and quickly flipped through the book again, until she turned to the side of Qinxin. It is clearly recorded that Qin Xin was an additional palace maid after the Queen Mother returned to the palace, and the sponsor was actually the Queen Mother.
Suddenly, she was stunned. The eyes were painfully entangled, it turned out that the truth was in the snap of a finger, so close, so hurtful.
