This "tiger fight" did not come too slowly, because within a few days, Lin Zhixin died.

Lin Zhixin died in the abandoned dry well of the cold palace.

When the news came, the concubines were in Ci'an Palace to ask the Empress Dowager Xiao'an for peace, because Zhao Ziqian made an appointment with Zhao Zixiu, the king of An, and others to discuss matters, so he went to the imperial study after inviting An.

After Zhao Ziqian left, everyone fought again in Ci'an Palace, Pei Yuchen pressed Lin Zhimeng step by step, laughing at her for losing to the queen at the palace banquet before, and laughing at her for losing the power and responsibility of managing the harem two days ago.

"The concubines have admired Lin Guifei since she was a child, and they all say that her mother is beautiful and talented! It's a pity that I've never seen Lin Guifei dance! Pei Yuchen sighed and pretended to be.

Lin Zhimeng's talent was spread after playing a tune at the palace banquet that year, and Pei Yuchen's "admiration since childhood" was completely nonsense. Lin Zhimeng was quite low-key when she met Zhao Ziqian, because she was Lin Chong's hole card and his weight to win over the emperor in the future, so naturally she would not let her become famous prematurely.

Mu Xiu will be destroyed by Lin Feng, after all, he is the prime minister, and Lin Chong is still very prescient.

However, Lin Zhimeng saw that her son was wrong for life, and showed her talent at the palace banquet without her father's consent, and has been famous since then.

Pei Yuchen said that he had never seen Lin Zhimeng dance, so naturally he definitely didn't. Singing and dancing is what the singers and even the singers of the Qinglou do, and the young ladies of the family are mostly chanting poems, painting, playing the piano and playing chess, and singing and dancing is self-surrendering.

It was Pei Yuchen who was completely laughing at Lin Zhimeng.

Lin Zhimeng was naturally angry when she heard this, but she didn't bother to bother with Pei Yuchen. Pei Yuchen can't get used to her, she still can't look down on Pei Yuchen, the lives of the leading girls in the family are like grass mustard, Pei Yuchen is just a little luckier than grass mustard.

Everyone saw Lin Zhimeng smile, and then said, "This palace can't dance." ”

She pretended not to understand Pei Yuchen's words.

Pei Yuchen was not angry, in her opinion, it was not easy to force Lin Zhimeng to jump, but it made her extremely happy to get pleasure in language.

"If you can't jump, you can learn! The concubine heard that Yang Meiren of the Zuiyun Pavilion was born to learn dance, if she was asked to teach Sister Lin, Sister Lin's dancing posture would be extremely moving in the future. Pei Yuchen said with a smile, and pretended to be intimate in his title.

Yang Meiren was drinking tea, and was stunned for a moment after being suddenly named, and after tasting it, she said: "Laughing with the concubine, learning to dance must have a foundation, and the concubine also laid the foundation when she was a child and barely learned to see people." ”

Prince Dongyu sent Yang Zhihua in the name of sending the dancing girl, who also knows how to dance. However, when she was learning to dance when she was a child, she was opposed by her mother, but Lin Chong, who turned into a businessman at that time, strongly agreed with this. Yang Zhihua still felt that her father doted on her at that time, but now it seems that she just wants to use it more easily.

Thinking of this, Yang Zhihua secretly evoked a bitter smile.

However, the implication of her words just now naturally helped Lin Zhimeng to solve the siege. There is no way, whether you are really controlled by others or controlled by others, you still have to do it against your will.

It's just a pity that Pei Yuchen is used to looking for trouble, so she only heard her pretend to exclaim: "Yang Meiren dislikes the concubine and is old?" Eh, you can't be like this, although Lin Guifei is a little older than you and me, she can't get too old! Besides, Lin Guifei has a slender waist and limbs, and she must be extremely slender when she dances! ”

Yi Xiangxiang looked at Lin Zhimeng when she heard this, and saw that the latter's skin was as delicate as warm jade, soft and greasy, the cherry mouth was red without dotting, delicate and beautiful, and the two strands of hair on her cheeks were gently brushed with the wind, adding a bit of seductive style. Dressed in a purple dress, embroidered with rich peonies, and water-green silk is tied around the waist, the perfect figure is immediately visible.

Not only is she beautiful, but her figure is also excellent.

Lin Zhimeng was first the prince's side concubine and then the concubine, in terms of age, she is indeed older than Pei Yuchen, the concubines who later participated in the draft and entered the palace. Pei Yuchen said that she was old, and she was completely stepping on her sore feet.

Moreover, Pei Yuchen later ridiculed her for her slender waist, and there was a lot of contempt in her words, which made Lin Zhimeng even more displeased.

"What's wrong with the concubine today? If you want to listen to the song and watch the dance, you have to summon the servants, so why bother me? Lin Zhimeng's words were aggrieved.

Seeing her behaving like this, Kang Ling smiled contemptuously: "If my cousin is not here, Concubine Lin should not pretend." ”

Yi Xiangxiang was surprised when she heard this, Kang Ling is now shooting arrows directly and clearly, and he doesn't cover it up at all.

Lin Zhimeng was naturally angry, but she pretended to be everything, and if she didn't pretend, she would really lose face: "Concubine Kang has been pressing me step by step recently, is it really me doing something wrong?" ”

That pitiful appearance forced Yi Xiangxiang to want to call Zhao Ziqian back, after all, it was really a waste of drama without the male protagonist present! And she finally understood why the famous Lin Zhimeng was so annoying, if she was just a top critic in reputation, it would be fine, but she was a master who loved to act, women were sensitive, and it was easy to be disgusted when they found out that the other party was false.

One person hates you may have problems with your communication, but 10,000 people hate you, so you really have to reflect on yourself.

Lin Zhimeng will make people feel like a spring breeze when they first come into contact, but after a long time of contact, they always feel that something is wrong. Yi Xiangxiang did not deny that Lin Zhimeng was still a very good and gentle person, but it is estimated that it is really the reason for the big dye vat of the palace, and the current Lin Zhimeng gives people more gloomy.

Yes, gloomy.

Even if she still smiled gently, the cold depression in her bones couldn't be stopped.

And today's Lin Zhimeng has stepped on Yi Xiangxiang's three views.

She suddenly didn't want to fight anymore, why was there any need? When you play against a woman who looks like a fool, don't you pull yourself to the level of a fool?

Although before this, she had never felt that Lin Zhimeng was stupid.

Of course, Yi Xiangxiang, Kang Ling and others think that Lin Zhimeng is pretending to be pitiful, but others think she is really pitiful, such as Tian Yao.

But Tian Yao remembered Hongyu's teachings, and didn't know whether to say it or not for a while, so he hesitated there.

At this time, Pei Yuchen spoke again: "Concubine Lin misunderstood, the concubine just thinks that Niangniang is the number one beauty in Kyoto City after all, and she just wants to see your dancing!" As for saying that you can't jump when you're old, it's Yang Meiren, and you can't blame the concubine. ”

Pei Yuchen didn't know the relationship between Yang Zhihua and Lin Zhimeng, but he just wanted to use this to provoke discord between the two.

"It's a misunderstanding with Concubine Niangniang, Yang Meiren just said that it's too late to learn dance now, and she doesn't mean to insult Concubine Lin! Speaking of which, if you and your concubine want to learn, it's not very suitable in terms of age! It was Lu Zhaoyi from Jingyang Palace's Xia Pillow Pavilion who spoke.

Yi Xiangxiang felt quite ingenious when she heard Lu Zhaoyi speak, when Lu Zhaoyi and Feng Zhaoyi were discussing her and Lin Zhimeng in the Imperial Garden, they were caught by Tian Yao. Tian Yao was still looking forward to Lin Zhimeng at that time, but Feng Zhaoyi and Lu Zhaoyi were more optimistic about Kang Ling, and they were made difficult by Tian Yao for this, and then they were punished after being bumped into by themselves.

Now that the world is changing, Tian Yao, who is like a cannonball, has taken his temperament, and this person who was originally optimistic about Kang Ling also stood on Lin Zhimeng's side.

In fact, Yi Xiangxiang didn't think it was strange to think about it, Lu Zhaoyi and Feng Zhaoyi lived in the Xia Pillow Pavilion and Cuiwei Pavilion in Jingyang Palace, and the "world" of Concubine Hui Liu Yingxue in Jingyang Palace was in Jingyang Palace. Liu Yingxue took refuge in Lin Zhimeng, and the other concubines in her palace also leaned over together, but there was nothing surprising.

In this way, her Changchun Palace is the most loss!

Changchun Palace has always not placed other concubines except for the queen, which has made her much more isolated.

Of course, Liu Fangfei was an accident.

Pei Yuchen, as long as you don't talk about the concubine, it is an iron wall, and her face is thicker than the city wall, I saw that she said to Lu Zhaoyi that it didn't matter if she was old, but replied: "Eh, the spokesperson has changed today, why didn't Lin Jieyu jump out as a gunman?" ”

The new term spokesperson was also brought out by Yi Xiangxiang.

When she was in Changchun Palace before, it was the four grandmothers of Zhao Ziqian's faction who secretly handled the palace affairs for her, but it was Xiao Dan and others who passed on the orders, so she said that the four palace maids around her were the spokesmen of the queen.

As a result, the word "spokesperson" was gradually widely used in the palace.

Of course, Pei Yuchen said that Lin Zhixin was Lin Zhimeng's spokesperson at this time, but he implied a shield.

Because of Pei Yuchen's words, everyone found out that Lin Zhixin did not come to ask for peace.

Seeing this, Kang Ling snorted coldly: "It is worthy of being a person covered by Chongren Palace, and it is just arrogant and domineering on weekdays, but at this time, he even dares to be absent from the invitation, and his courage is so fat!" ”

Everyone is embarrassed, when it comes to arrogance, who can compare to you Concubine Kang?

However, Lin Zhixin is used to not being liked, and without Lin Zhimeng's long-sleeved dance, she is bigger than Lin Zhimeng, so there is no one to speak for her at this time.

When Yi Xiangxiang heard this, she naturally added a fire: "Concubine Kang is right, is Lin Jieyu's move completely not taking our Queen Mother in her eyes?" ”

Lin Zhi dreamed that Kang Ling and An Concubine really joined forces tacitly, but it was not surprising, she was never afraid that she would become a thorn in the side of others because of Mu Xiu in Lin, because this meant that she was a threat to others. And as long as it is a threat, it is an affirmation of her existence.

Lin Zhimeng returned to her gentle normalcy and said with a smile: "Concubine Kang and Concubine An have misunderstood, who doesn't have a headache and brain fever?" The Queen Mother is kind, and she will definitely not blame Lin Jieyu. ”

She used one sentence to block the queen mother's reproach first.

The Empress Dowager Xiao'an didn't say anything about this, if she was still a palace concubine fighting all day long at her age, it would be a great loss of identity.

Su Jingxiang naturally understood what it meant when she saw Yi Xiangxiang adding firewood and cheering, and immediately opened her mouth in the name of management: "Is Lin Jieyu uncomfortable?" The concubine didn't receive her leave here? Or did she report it directly to Sister Huifei? ”

What she said is very clever, now she and Concubine Hui Liu Yingxue jointly manage the harem, if Lin Zhixin wants to take leave, she must notify her and Concubine Hui at the same time, because if she doesn't receive the notice here, but Concubine Hui does, then she looks down on her Zhong Cui Palace.

Su Jingxiang's palace was protected by the Empress Dowager Xiao'an, and if she didn't respect her, Concubine Ning, she would also be disrespectful to the Empress Dowager.

Of course, if Lin Zhixin didn't even tell Concubine Hui, it would be a confirmation of what no one was looking for.

Liu Yingxue was a little hesitant and didn't know what to say, because she really didn't receive any words from Lin Zhixin. And just when she was frowning and struggling with how to answer Su Jingxiang's words, a little palace maid wearing a pink half-jacket rushed in in a panic.

Seeing this, Liu Yingxue hurriedly shifted her attention: "What kind of body is it that is panicked!" ”

The little palace maid rushed to the front, and the momentum made her kneel in front of the main hall, only to see that she didn't even have time to cry out in pain, so she trembled and cried: "Ask the Queen Mother to be the master of my family!" ”

Mrs. Xiao'an, who was sitting above, was displeased, and a little palace maid in the morning was crying, which was really disturbing.

But after all, she is a woman who has lived in the harem for decades, Xiao'an quickly recovered her complexion, and saw her say with a pleasant face: "Don't be in a hurry, speak slowly." ”

"My master was assassinated, and his body is in the dry well of the cold palace!" The little palace maid finally couldn't restrain her momentum and cried.

Now the Empress Dowager Xiao'an couldn't smile anymore, and her face naturally became solemn: "Who is the master of your family?" ”

Although she had a rough guess in her mind, she still asked this sentence.

Xiao'an doesn't care much about who the maids of the palace concubines are, except for a few high-ranking ones, such as Qingxuan and Xiaodan and others around the queen, Xiangqiao and Qiaosui and others around Lin Zhimeng, as well as the people around her niece, etc., not to mention the palace maids who serve, even some Zhaoyi beauties she can't recognize.

But Yi Xiangxiang and the others knew the palace maid in front of them, and this person was one of Lin Zhixin's personal palace maids, Ruowei.

"My master is ...... The ...... of Shigemon Palace's Imikaku Lin Jieyu," Ruowei said to the Empress Dowager Xiao'an silently.

It turned out that early this morning, Ruowei and the others found that Lin Jieyu, who was originally resting in the house, was gone, and they were so anxious that they couldn't take care of the leave at all, so they hurriedly found it. But it was not so easy to find someone in the palace of Nuoda, so I searched for a morning.

Originally, Ruowei planned to report the disappearance first, and let the ladies above call the shots and send more people to find it, but some people said that they saw someone walking around in the cold palace this morning, so Ruowei took someone to check it out, and found Lin Zhixin, who had been dead for a long time, in the dry well.

Yi Xiangxiang was shocked by this, not only her, but everyone present said that they were shocked.

Of course, there are always people who pretend, but it's hard to tell the difference.

The Empress Dowager Xiao'an frowned, and found that this matter was not simple: "Good and decent, what is Lin Jieyu doing in the cold palace?" ”

Everyone also felt strange, Lin Zhixin was very pompous, and he chose the best Yi Miao Pavilion in Chongren Palace. is even more feathers, disgusted with all so-called cheap things, according to her personality, she will never go to the cold palace.

What kind of place is the cold palace, where are all unfavored palace concubines. Although no palace concubine has been demoted to the cold palace when Zhao Ziqian is in power, it is also overgrown with weeds and desolate.

The people in the palace, not to mention that the palace concubines are quite taboo about this, and even the eunuchs and palace maids do not go here on weekdays. Of course, if there is any plan, there are not a few people who meet here.

However, there are also many palaces on this side of the cold palace, and the probability of hitting it is still low.

As Lin Zhixin's cousin, Lin Zhimeng was naturally the first to have red eyes: "My sister has always been timid and remote in the cold palace, she will never go alone!" ”

Hearing this, Tian Yao suddenly spoke: "Could it be that he threw his body in the cold palace after killing someone?" ”

Well, impulsive as Tian Yao, even if she suppresses herself, she can't change her temperament.

At this time, the investigation had not yet begun, and even the autopsy had not yet been performed, and they had not seen the corpse with their own eyes, so Tian Yao defined Lin Zhixin's death as murder.

Of course, everyone also speculated that it was murder, but they wouldn't say it as arrogantly as Tian Yao.

Xiao'an was still frowning, and after hearing Tian Yao's words, he screwed even deeper: "Concubine Ning sent someone to invite someone from the Shanggong Bureau to come over, and you all go to the scene with the mourning family to take a look." ”

The court of the Li Dynasty had a Shang Gong Bureau, and its division system was roughly similar to that of the Shang Palace Bureau in modern history. However, the Shanggong Bureau of the Li Dynasty has a penal court, which is mainly to investigate cases in the inner palace and be responsible for some punishments of palace people. For example, if the criminal punishment court finds out the murderer, it needs to be transferred to the Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate for retrial before the crime can be convicted. However, due to the inconvenience of the three divisions entering the harem to collect evidence, it is the penal court that mainly controls the direction of the investigation.

The Empress Dowager Xiao'an was about to get up as she spoke.

Lin Zhimeng stopped the Queen Mother by saying something: "The Queen Mother, not to mention whether my sister was poisoned, the cold palace is an unknown place after all." You have a golden body, or stay in Ci'an Palace, and let the concubines go over to investigate. ”

Her concern was beyond words, Kang Ling naturally couldn't let an outsider rob her of her niece's words, she thought for a while and said: "Aunt rest assured, now Concubine Hui and Concubine Ning have presided over the handling of palace affairs, and they are already handy, and with the help of niece and Concubine Lin Guifei, this matter will definitely be investigated." ”

Kang Ling naturally wouldn't let Lin Zhimeng take this opportunity to take power back, so he directly launched Liu Yingxue and Su Jingxiang, which is completely reasonable.

Xiao'an didn't want to go originally, it was very cold in winter, and the cold palace was also an unclean place, and there were even her masterpieces among the dead souls inside. And now that the two concubines are persuading like this, and Lin Zhixin is not her person, she also agreed.

However, she still confessed: "Be sure to investigate clearly, so that Lin Jieyu can have peace under the spring." ”

So after some tossing, all the concubines who had just asked for peace in Ci'an Palace appeared in the cold palace.

Yi Xiangxiang didn't feel strange when she saw that everything was in place, after all, it was not appropriate for anyone to go first at this time, at least it was indifferent to Lin Jieyu and impersonal, and at worst, she might be framed as a murderer and dare not see the deceased.

Be cautious every step of the way, what a fucked palace concubine life!
