Chapter 303: The Death of the Palace Maiden
The palace maid you asked me to find is dead! Lu Ying poured saliva, her cheeks were slightly red, there were some beads of sweat, her brows were tightly locked, it seemed that it took a lot of effort to get the news, and then hurriedly came back to tell her.
When I saw him like this, my heart became more and more anxious, wiped his sweat, pulled him to sit down, and listened to him speak slowly.
It turned out that he went into the palace to find the palace maid as instructed, and as usual, he first found Aunt Chun to ask about the whereabouts of the person.
When Aunt Chun led him to the palace maid's room, she was nowhere to be seen, and asked the people around her, and they all said that they had not seen her.
The two of them searched around for a long time, and finally found her body in a hidden corner of the pool, which was then wet and dead.
But on her neck, she found a red finger print.
She was strangled and pushed into the pool!
This frightened the two of them, and they hurriedly found someone to deal with it, and then went to the upper part, and called the imperial doctor to perform the autopsy, and interrogated the people nearby one by one, but they still didn't know who was the murderer.
The night was getting deeper, and even if there was no result, Lu Ying had to go home first.
And Aunt Chun went back to double the guards around King Li, and arranged the patrol and defense tightly, for fear that King Li was in danger.
After all, this palace maid is now considered a person in King Li's palace, but she is so strewn in the pool, she can't help but worry about whether someone will do something to King Li.
Hearing the news, Shi Wang was also shocked.
Who did this, and whose order did it? Was the murder of the palace maid for personal revenge, or was there some other purpose? Why did he target a little palace maid, and how could he be so bold and dare to attack the people in King Li's palace?
In addition to caring about who made the poison, there are more difficult things.
Without the testimony of this palace maid, how can I ask Empress Dai to verify whether Huang Mengcheng leaked the news according to her will.
Now that there is no witness, how can Empress Dai's suspicion of her trust her empty words.
"It's late today, tomorrow when you go to Tai Academy, go to Master Wen, tell him the ins and outs of this matter, and ask him what his opinion is."
Lu Ying nodded, now the people in the house, except for those who come and go to deliver goods, only they can enter and exit, and only they can take on the important task of delivering news.
This night, Shi Wang really tossed and turned.
Empress Dai had murderous intentions towards General Qin, and even did not hesitate to offend other ethnic states. Even if there are ministers who stop her, with her temperament, I am afraid that she will not be able to stop it for long.
General Qin boasted in front of her, saying that he himself would not die so easily, but now it seems that he is in prison, he is already a fish, how can he still have the power to save himself.
can only hope that in the morning, Lu Ying can pass on the news, and Wen gradually can understand the strangeness and find out the truth and countermeasures.
Other than that, I don't have anything to do.
But even that hope was dashed the next morning.
Lu Ying went out to Tai Academy as usual, but was stopped at the gate of the mansion.
"What's the matter, you don't know Master Lu and me again? I'm a third-grade waiter of the Tai Academy, get out of the way, I'm going to the palace. ”
"I'm sorry, the Queen Mother has an order, from today onwards, no one in the princess's mansion is allowed to leave the mansion, even Lord Lu."
"What's going on?" Lu Ying was a little anxious, "Obviously, you could still let me out of the house yesterday, why did it change today?" ”
"We are only acting on orders, and we must not speculate on our intentions."
"You...... I'm going out today, and if the academy is short of manpower, it will be very busy. You can't lock me up in the house! ”
As he spoke, he stepped on his feet again to get out, but what he got was the same result as before, the blade blocked the way, and he couldn't move forward for half a minute.
Lu Ying was so frightened that she didn't even dare to swallow her saliva, for fear that she would cut her throat and feel sad if she moved.
He cautiously took a step back, a little farther away from the peak, and when he was sure that it was safe, he immediately ran back to the mansion and hurriedly reported the matter to Shi Wang.
Shi Wang was also worried about getting up early, when he saw Lu Ying, who had already gone out, running towards him in a panic.
Listening to what he said, Shi Wang's heart was slightly cold.
Empress Dai completely sealed the princess's mansion, and no news could be spread or accepted.
But why did it only take one night to change her face.
If you didn't want Lu Ying to leave the house, you could have restricted his actions a long time ago, so why wait now?
Thinking of this, Shi Wang suddenly had an epiphany!
Empress Dai did have a guard against Lu Ying, but she did not use the method of imprisonment.
Instead, he guessed that he would do things for himself, and deliberately let him go out of the house and enter the palace, in order to speculate his intentions by tracking Lu Ying's whereabouts, what he did, and the people he saw.
This can also explain why the palace maid had already gone to King Li's palace and was considered to have a place to live, but she suddenly died.
It was precisely because Lu Ying went to see her after she was banned that she felt that she had a joint effort with her, or had other plans, so she sent someone to kill the insider.
After all, compared with the Sanpin guards, the death of a little palace maid can't set off any storms at all!
"Princess, what shall we do next?" Lu Ying was also a little scared by that, and she didn't know how to pass on the news at all.
"Can you have a carrier pigeon in Fuzhong?" Shi Wang asked.
Lu Ying understood, and hurriedly picked out a carrier pigeon to give Shi Wang.
Most of these carrier pigeons fly long distances, and the distance from the princess's mansion to the Wenfu is not known if it can be successful.
Shi Wang wrote a letter, put it in a small volume, and was about to release the pigeon, but suddenly stopped.
"Do you think this pigeon can fly to Wenfu?"
Lu Ying looked embarrassed, it was difficult to speak, and his expression was probably a little difficult.
"It's really difficult, not only is it not an area of expertise, but it's not a familiar route. Besides, there are many soldiers outside this mansion, and it is a problem whether or not you can fly out from here, not to mention that you have to reach your destination. ”
"So, is there any other way to deliver the message?" Lu Ying asked.
"You don't have to pass on the news, as long as you let the Queen Mother know that Huang Mengcheng has a problem." Shi Wang's expression suddenly turned happy, and he looked a little relaxed.
Lu Ying was even more puzzled, and thought about Shi Wang's sentences together, as if she had touched some of her margins.
Shi Wang smiled at him, turned around and went back to the study, unloaded the current letter, wrote another one, reloaded it, walked to the atrium near the mansion door, and released the carrier pigeon.
Then, it's time to see if Empress Dai will take the bait.
Sure enough, as soon as the carrier pigeon flew out of the mansion, it was shot down by an arrow and died on the spot, and the letter naturally failed to reach Wen Yan's hands, but was handed over to Empress Dai.
Empress Dai looked at the letter presented, her face was gloomy, as if she had seen the news that made her very unhappy and even angry, gritted her teeth, and slapped the envelope on the table.
