When Yi Xiangxiang and the others arrived at the cold palace, Song Yuan, the principal of the Shanggong Bureau, and the female maid had already begun to conduct inspections.

Even if it is a cold palace in the imperial city, it is not dilapidated, at most, the dead branches and leaves in the courtyard are a little messy, and it is a little depressed.

After Song Yuan hulala a group of people, she naturally wanted to come over as a representative to pay her respects, but the rest of the people stayed in place to pay their respects.

Because of Li Jieyu's previous incident, Concubine Ning Su Jingxiang had been in contact with Song Yuan, so she hurriedly shouted and said, "Lord Song is busy with himself, and I will tell you in detail about the situation with the palace and all the ladies later." ”

Since it was said that it was her and Concubine Hui who were in charge, even if Lin Zhimeng and Kang Ling were above her, she and Concubine Hui would still be the main ones here.

For Su Jingxiang to order Song Yuan one step ahead, Concubine Hui Liu Yingxue was not very happy, but at the moment, everyone was solemn, so naturally it was not good to care about this kind of thing.

It's all dead, and you're still having trouble with this little thing about who comes first and who comes after, it's all gossip! Liu Yingxue is not a fool, except for a small black account of Su Jingxiang in her heart, she did not show anything at the moment.

Song Yuan got the order, so he ordered everyone to continue to look for clues. Because the dry well was in the courtyard of the cold palace, and there were dead branches and weeds covered with snow on all sides, everyone could only stand on the path that had just been cleared...... And moved a little trembling.

In fact, there should have been a lot of clothes in winter, but which woman in the palace doesn't like to show up? There are even people wearing spring skirts under the fox fur! After all, for many people, please be able to see Zhao Ziqian for a while, because of the external conditions of seduction, it is still necessary to decorate it, anyway, when you enter Ci'an Palace, there is a dragon and a charcoal basin, even if you are shirtless, you will not feel cold.

But this time is different, now it is outdoors, and it is in the open air, so naturally they are all so cold that their teeth are shivering, and even Yi Xiangxiang feels cold after staying for a long time.

"This ice and snow is really deadly!" It was Pei Yuchen who complained.

She is a person who has nothing to do with herself, Lin Zhixin and her grudge are not deep, and the friendship is even more none, it really doesn't matter to her whether Lin Zhixin dies or not.

Lu Zhaoyi glanced at her when she heard this: "You can accumulate some virtue with your concubine, lest you be the one who lies there in the future!" ”

After hearing this, everyone looked at the location of Wanling not far away, and saw a waterproof mat spread across the snow, and it was Lin Zhixin's corpse lying on it, but it was covered with a white cloth.

Wan Ling thought that the ladies in the palace were all daughters, and when they were inspected, they also opened them one by one and checked them before closing them, so they didn't let everyone see the specific appearance of the corpse.

But as everyone knows, the invisible exists, which makes people even more frightened.

Pei Yuchen automatically made up the picture of the person lying there as himself, and immediately got goosebumps! However, she still sneered and said to Lu Zhaoyi: "I didn't say anything, aren't you cold?" Or is it really Lu Zhaoyi's turn to turn over? Why, Lin Jieyu was killed, and you want to move to Yi Miao Pavilion? ”

Lu Zhaoyi's title is greater than Lin Jieyu's, but Lin Jieyu was originally a concubine, and she was demoted because she offended Yi Xiangxiang. The reason why Pei Yuchen said that Lu Zhaoyi wanted to move to Yi Miao Pavilion naturally meant that she wanted to be promoted.

"I'm so impatient with my concubine, is it possible that Lin Jieyu's murder has anything to do with you?" Lu Zhaoyi didn't answer Pei Yuchen's words, but directly poured dirty water.

Pei Yuchen would not be afraid of this kind of dirty water without evidence, after all, she had splashed a lot of this kind of water on Lin Zhimeng, and immediately threw the words back: "In my opinion, you Lu Zhaoyi has a problem, right?" Why did you suddenly jump like a grasshopper today, which is a bit abnormal? ”

Lu Zhaoyi was about to reply, but Concubine Hui Liu Yingxue on the side said softly: "When is there still a lot of kung fu to quarrel, it is better to think about Lin Jieyu's recent strange behavior when you have that time, and stay for a while to cooperate with the investigation!" ”

Liu Yingxue's words are a bit meaningful, what do you mean by any strange behavior recently? Lin Zhixin has been going against Kang Ling recently, what else is there to do?

Yi Xiangxiang looked at Kang Ling after hearing Liu Yingxue's words, and sure enough, she saw a flash of understanding in the latter's eyes.

They're all smart people! Yi Xiangxiang thought so.

Pei Yuchen also heard the meaning of Liu Yingxue's words, but she saw that Lin Zhimeng's eyes were full of tears and she was supported by her own palace maids, so she spoke again: "Concubine Hui's words are not right, Lin Jieyu is from Chongren Palace, what strange actions should you ask Lin Guifei Niangniang!" ”

Tian Yao, the stupid girl on the side, nodded subconsciously, and Yi Xiangxiang, who was watching the play, couldn't hold back her laughter, and everyone looked at her.

Fortunately, the next moment, Song Yuan brought Wan Ling over to report.

Yi Xiangxiang almost couldn't help throwing out a "long time no see", but fortunately, she immediately realized that she was now Liu Fangfei's appearance, and quickly stopped her voice.

Lin Zhimeng held back her crying and asked Song Yuan, "What's going on?" ”

Song Yuan motioned to Wan Ling on the side to speak.

Wan Ling analyzed very professionally: "The deceased was knocked unconscious and thrown into a dry well, there was obvious bruise on the back of her neck, and there were blood stains on the back of her head after being hit by a heavy object, and the abrasions on her forehead should have been scraped on the edge when she entered the well." Because of the low temperature outside, it is not yet possible to determine the specific time of death. ”

Yi Xiangxiang appreciated this, and knew that low temperature would affect the temperature of the corpse, and Wan Ling also had two brushes!

Song Yuan answered: "Through the autopsy, it has been determined that Lin Jieyu was killed by him, but there are no footprints left around the dry well, and there are no traces of the murder weapon nearby, so it seems that the scope of the search will be expanded." ”

When Wan Ling talked about the case, he used the word "deceased", but Song Yuan called Lin Jieyu very good, there is really a difference between being a soldier and being an official.

Yi Xiangxiang held the hand stove and leaned on Xiao Dan to keep warm, and muttered when she heard the words: "There are no footprints...... Did you mean that I was killed last night? ”

Everyone looked at her again, and Su Jingxiang hurriedly helped her to break the siege: "Why did Concubine An say this?" ”

"There's snow everywhere here, and if someone comes after the snow, they're going to leave footprints! But now there are no footprints, and there is no snow in the morning, so it seems that he was killed before the heavy snowfall last night? Yi Xiangxiang, who pretended to be an concubine, couldn't see "you fools", but it dispelled everyone's suspicions.

After Song Yuan and Wan Ling glanced at each other, they found that the other party was full of appreciation.

"This must be Concubine An's mother, right?" Although Song Yuan was a woman, because she was wearing men's clothes, she waved at Yi Xiangxiang and continued: "What Concubine An said is true, and we are also suspecting that Lin Jieyu was killed last night. ”

"No way, the mother went to bed before the end of last night!" It was Ruowei, the palace maid who had just gone to Ci'an Palace to call people, who spoke.

Regarding her veto, Song Yuan didn't mean to argue, but just listened to her say: "Now it's cold and snowy outside, let's go back and wait for news." Later, I will go everywhere to disturb and inquire, and I hope you will understand. ”

"Lord Song has worked extremely hard to investigate and handle the case, this matter is related to the safety of the palaces, and there is no reason not to cooperate." Kang Ling was the first to express his position.

In fact, Kang Ling is still very curious about who killed Lin Zhixin.

Lin Zhixin has no brains, and if she wants to kill her so troublesomely, she either has some deep hatred or wants to use it to make an article.

Kang Ling expressed his attitude, and Kang Ling's faction naturally expressed his position. And Lin Zhixin is Lin Zhimeng's cousin, and the latter has no reason to be undeserved, so Song Yuan and Wan Ling can be regarded as getting the "pass".

There was no need to keep it here in the cold palace, and everyone who was shivering from the cold went back to their palaces one after another, and Yi Xiangxiang also hurried back to Changchun Palace.

When Jimei and the others set off from Ci'an Palace to the Cold Palace, Jimei had already come back first and asked the palace maids to cook ginger soup, and Liu Fangfei, who was now hiding in Changchun Palace, also got the news.

Hearing that there was movement outside, Liu Fangfei hurriedly rushed out and pounced on Yi Xiangxiang: "Hey, what's going on, why did you die?" ”

Yi Xiangxiang and Liu Fangfei can only see each other's faces, so there is nothing strange about them. But Xiao Dan and Jimei and the others around them were quite uncomfortable when they saw two identical faces dangling in front of them.

"Niangniang, why don't you let Commander Mo bring someone to remove your makeup?" Xiao Dan asked.

People who stay in the deep palace have no concept of disguise on the rivers and lakes, and every time they see evil spirits fluttering on their mother's face, Xiao Dan naturally has to summarize this skill as a kind of makeup.

And the reason why Xiao Dan said this is not only because these two identical faces make her awkward, but also because if someone suddenly breaks in and sees the two "An Concubines", it is estimated that she will be scared to death.

"Yes, I feel itchy in my jaw, I don't know if the disguise cream to ward off evil spirits is starting to have side effects." Yi Xiangxiang scratched her face and said.

Anyway, when Song Yuan and Wan Ling came over to ask, Liu Fangfei also came forward, and it didn't matter if she took off her disguise at this time.

After hearing this, Jimei, who came in with ginger soup on the side, hurriedly stuffed the tray in her hand to Xiao Dan, and said while moving: "Slave maid, let people go to Commander Mo!" Before Yi Xiangxiang could say anything, she ran out by herself, muttering: "Niangniang already looks so ordinary, if she ruins her face, it will be over!" ”

Yi Xiangxiang, who was behind, said that she wanted to catch Jimei back and beat her first!

After returning to the inner hall, Yi Xiangxiang, Xiao Dan and Yingdong all drank ginger soup one after another, and then sat down and waited for Mo Zhaoxi and the evil spirits to come over.

Liu Fangfei couldn't wait: "Hurry up and talk about it, what's going on?" ”

Yi Xiangxiang was speechless: "How do I know what's going on?" Although Lin Zhixin has a bad brain and a cheap mouth, she hasn't reached the point of killing her, the murderer must have wanted to do something to kill her, right? But I'm also curious, I'm the only one who wants to make trouble now! But I didn't do it, so who did it? ”

The only thing Yi Xiangxiang wanted to kill was Lin Zhimeng.

Two days ago, after implicating Xiaowan in a crazy demon because of pretending to be a ghost, she asked Lin Zhimeng to pull Ping'er and Liu'er as a backing, and it was at that time that Yi Xiangxiang began to struggle with whether to continue to do the so-called revenge, after all, she is a modern soul and is still more in awe of human life.

That's why Yi Xiangxiang suddenly became confused, and also put aside the matter of pretending to be a ghost.

But now Lin Zhixin's death can be described as a stone that has stirred up a thousand waves.

There are only a few palace concubines in the palace who have a little strength, and to put it bluntly, the most likely ones to do it in the past are still Lin Zhimeng and Kang Ling.

Liu Fangfei naturally knew that it was not Yi Xiangxiang who did it, Yi Xiangxiang looked hard-mouthed, but in fact, she was very soft-hearted! It's okay if you let her kill a chicken, but it's still very difficult to kill someone who doesn't have a grudge against her!

"Could it be Kang Ling's hand?" Liu Fangfei guessed.

It's no wonder that Liu Fangfei thought of Kang Ling for the first time, first, Kang Ling had Li Jieyu in front of him, and he already had a "case record"; Second, the recent conflict between Kang Ling and Lin Zhixin is too obvious, and it is difficult for people not to suspect Kang Ling with a slap and a footboard.

Yi Xiangxiang held the delicate enamel hand stove, nodded and said: "Kang Ling is indeed one of the suspects, but she shouldn't be stupid enough to be this target." ”

When Kang Ling was cooking Li Jieyu, she played so beautifully, and she dragged Lin Zhimeng to accompany her and made her famous. Although Hu Jieyu was convicted in the end, the vast majority of people who didn't know guessed that the murderer was either Kang Ling or Lin Zhimeng.

From this point of view, although Kang Ling sometimes does things too casually, he is still very brainy. Now who in the entire imperial city doesn't know that Lin Zhixin has repeatedly contradicted Concubine Kang, and the latter has also embarrassed her, so at this time, she killed Lin Zhixin again, isn't she looking for trouble for herself!

Liu Fangfei rarely understood what Yi Xiangxiang meant, and it was rare to accurately point to the key: "And no matter whether Kang Ling will be stupid or not, anyway, everyone must think that it is Kang Ling's black hand now!" Besides, how do you know that Kangling didn't mean it? Or is it just that she is the one who kills you because of your mentality? ”

Yi Xiangxiang was very surprised by Liu Fangfei's rare use of her brain, and nodded appreciatively.

However, she still didn't think it was Kang Ling, because every time Lin Zhixin collided, Kang Ling almost vented her anger and fought back on the spot, and there was no reason to commit another murder afterwards.

In short, there must be follow-up developments in this matter! Yi Xiangxiang thought so.

They chatted for a while, and Su Jingxiang came over.

Su Jingxiang was introduced into the inner hall, and the first thing she asked was: "Niangniang, what do you think about this?" ”

Yi Xiangxiang knew everything about Su Jingxiang: "This matter is not my doing, it must be a struggle between the two concubines." I already know that the Liu family and the Lin family have joined forces, and Concubine Hui Liu Yingxue is actually standing on Lin Zhimeng's side. And Liu Yingxue's words just now are obviously reminding everyone of the contradiction between Kang Ling and Lin Zhixin, which can be seen that she deliberately wants to push the matter to Kang Ling. ”

"What does that lady mean, is this matter done by Lin Guifei?" Su Jingxiang exclaimed.

Lin Zhixin is also Lin Zhimeng's cousin, if Lin Zhimeng's hand is moved, then the ruthlessness of this person is really incredible.

"Look, I don't even believe you." Yi Xiangxiang sighed: "Kang Ling acts in an extreme way, but Lin Zhimeng is used to rules. Let's take a look first, if you come prepared, there will always be follow-up developments. Don't worry, just keep an eye on your palace gate and don't let people take advantage of the loopholes. Yi Xiangxiang reassured.

Liu Fangfei interjected when she heard this: "Yes, yes, there is nothing wrong!" Don't look back and be framed, that's unreasonable. ”

Su Jingxiang nodded frequently: "The concubine understands." ”

......

By the time night fell, Song Yuan and Wan Ling had already asked many of the main people in the harem, and the last place they came to was Changchun Palace.

It's not that they don't look down on Concubine An, it's just that she doesn't think she has been in the palace for a long time, and she must not know much, so she is at the end of the queue, planning to go through the motions.

The atmosphere of Changchun Palace is naturally needless to say, and it is second only to the existence of the Holy Qian'an Palace. Song Yuan and Wan Ling had come to Changchun Palace earlier because of Li Jieyu's affairs, and they were half acquaintances at this time.

Wan Ling looked at the palace in front of him and sighed: "In Li Jieyu's case back then, the queen mother also gave me a lot of tips. Now I don't know if she is safe and sound, as the saint said. ”

Song Yuan smiled when she heard this: "Don't worry, the queen mother will definitely be safe." You rarely deal with the Holy One because you don't know that he is not a person who can easily lie. Although this time is not true, it is certainly true. ”

"However, I think the queen mother is an unruly master, and this time she may be her idea to recuperate."

Song Yuan is worthy of being the person who sits firmly in the first position in the Shanggong Bureau, in a word.

Although Wan Ling was still suspicious, he naturally hoped that the queen would be well, so that he would not say anything more. She and Song Yuan strode to the gate of Changchun Palace, and said to her father-in-law at the gate of the palace that she wanted to see Concubine An of Xue Yige. Originally, he wanted to wait for him to let people in to report, but he didn't expect him to directly reach out and summon a little eunuch and bring them in directly.

The two were only stunned by this, and then thought that it should be the father-in-law who had already been instructed.

The lights in the Changchun Palace are brilliant, and the palace lights on the main road reflect the snow on both sides. Occasionally, I even saw rows of snowmen with carrots and small red scarves around their noses, which was very cute.

Wan Ling was not hidden, and said directly: "I didn't expect that looking at the solemn Changchun Palace outside, it would be so witty and cheerful inside. ”

Because Zhao Ziqian lived in Changchun Palace, many people were in awe of this place. But now that she looks at the white and chubby snowmen, she really can't be in awe.

Now there are only two masters in Changchun Palace, one is the current saint Zhao Ziqian, and the other is An Concubine of Xue Yi Pavilion. The former is not a person who can build snowmen, and it is obvious that these snowmen are masterpieces completed by the latter with the palace maids.

Thinking of this, Wan Ling was a little unhappy again. The queen is the master of Changchun Palace, although she is not in the palace now, but this concubine is too presumptuous.

Xue Yi Pavilion is not far from the main hall of Changchun Palace, but it is also separated by some distance. There is a section of the main road to these two places that is the same, but when you go to the third entrance, you need to turn around to go to Xueyi Pavilion, and you still take the main road to the main hall.

Wan Ling suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and continued to walk forward with Song Yuan with the little father-in-law, and when he reached the corner, he saw that the little father-in-law was still walking forward, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart.

Wan Ling is from a family, and her usual style of acting is the same as her inspecting the corpse, and when she saw this, she directly called the father-in-law who led the way in front: "Little father-in-law, aren't you going the wrong way?" ”

Although she was straightforward, she still used the proper politeness and honorific title.

The little father-in-law turned around and smiled at Song Yuan and Wan Ling, the big white teeth looked very weird in the evening of the twilight, Rao is two of them have been handling cases for many years, and they were also frightened for a while.

Fortunately, the other party quickly smiled and made a voice: "The two adults go to the inner hall with the little ones, the mother is dining with the saint!" ”

Song Yuan and Wan Ling were shocked again when they heard this, An Concubine was actually eating in the queen's inner hall and saint? What's the situation? Could it be that An Concubine has already occupied the magpie's nest?

At this time, the two didn't know that the "Niangniang" in the mouth of the little father-in-law was not the An Concubine Niangniang they thought of. It wasn't until the two of them entered the inner hall of Changchun Palace with questions that they were shocked on the spot, just like Concubine Ning Su Jingxiang and her palace maid Tang'er that day.
