The eldest princess happily looked at the faces of the four princes, and even the palace maid beside her said: "It's true, the slave and maid look carefully, and they also think that the four princes and the eldest princess are like when they were young." Look at this white and tender little face, like a peeled eggshell, which makes people like it when they see it. ”

The eldest princess was happy and embarrassed, "Mother Zhao said that I look better now that I'm older, and the fourth brother will definitely look better when he's older!" ”

Su Youyi nodded, "Yes, when he is older, I don't know which imperial brother is like him?" It's best to gather everyone's strengths, but the first thing is to be safe and healthy. ”

After finishing the kite fight, Su Youyi returned to Yongshou Palace and heard the long-awaited news.

"Niangniang, there is news about Cui Shao!"

"Someone found?"

Su Youyi squinted, and the murderous aura in her eyes was almost instantly revealed.

Whether she betrayed the queen or obeyed the queen's orders, the murderer who killed Wan Concubine finally showed his traces, and this time, Su Youyi would never let her go.

Duofu nodded a little embarrassed, "Found is found, but...... It's been dead for a long time. ”

Su Youyi frowned, "Dead?" How did he die? ”

Cui Shao, who had been looking for several months, had already died, which Su Youyi did not expect.

She thought that Cui Yao must be hiding in some hidden place, so she couldn't find it, but she didn't expect it......

Duo Fu said, "Don't worry, Niangniang, listen to the slave explain slowly." The servant ordered people to search all the places that could be found in the capital and outside the city, but there was no trace of Cui Shao. In the end, with the mentality of a dead horse as a live horse doctor, he even inquired about the lonely graves in the countryside one by one. In a remote countryside, I heard a news, saying that there was a son who died early with a secret marriage, although the woman of the secret marriage was a dead body, but she was born very white and delicate, and at first glance it was from a big family, not a young lady but also a high-ranking girl. ”

When Su Youyi heard this, she already knew that this corpse was Cui Shao.

"According to folk custom," said Dofu, "the parents and relatives of the person who marries must always be present, but it is said that none of the woman's relatives came. The people in the countryside knew that the corpse was not coming from the right way, and they were jealous that the family had married such a woman with such a standard, so they spread it in the countryside. Fortunately, we went to open the corpse to see, and it was indeed Cui Shao. ”

Su Youyi pondered for a moment, "After so many months, can the corpse still be recognized?" ”

Duofu said: "The corpse is indeed very corrupted, but looking at the body shape and head shape, as well as some jewelry worn on the body, it is indeed unmistakable." What's more, when the family brought Cui Yao back, they also brought the package she was carrying, which was full of gold and silver treasures. We searched their house, and it was indeed all emerald shake things. ”

"Where did they get the emerald from?"

"Mass graves."

Duofu sighed, "They said that they brought it in the winter last year, but unfortunately our people were looking for it in the city at that time, and they missed the time, and when we went to the mass grave to find it, the body had already been pulled away by them." They said that they wanted to go to the mass grave to find out if there was a female corpse for their son to marry, and they happened to find a fresh and hot one, but there was a wound on the neck that almost cut off the head, and that day was November 27. ”

Su Youyi gasped, "November twenty-seven? Wasn't that the second day after the queen was sent to the cold palace? In other words, Cui Yao was killed as soon as he left the palace, and then thrown into a mass grave. ”

And it was almost a death method that was cut off, which shows that the murderer is strong in martial arts. This proves more and more that the speculation that there is a mastermind behind the scenes who instructed Cui Shao to kill Wan Concubine is not unreasonable, and if he can afford to hire such a killer, this person's background will never be just an ordinary guard or a doctor.

Other words...... This man is most likely a minister of the court, and according to the empress's words, a handsome young man.

Su Youyi's heart suddenly became a mess.

By now, she was almost certain that Concubine Wan's death was done by Cui Shao, not the queen.

The queen is trapped in the cold palace, she has no way to send Cui Yao out of the palace, and then hire a killer with strong martial arts to kill her and throw her body into a mass grave, the queen is indeed innocent......

Su Youyi took a deep breath, "Besides these, are there any clues that can find out who killed Cui Shao?" ”

Duofu thought for a while and said, "The gold, silver and jade in Cuiyao's baggage are all in that household, and they don't dare to take them out and sell them, for fear of causing trouble." The servants have already checked it, and the things in it are all rewarded by the palace and the queen, and there is nothing else. To talk about clues...... There was only one handkerchief, which didn't look like something on Cui Shao's body. ”

Su Youyi suddenly sat up straight, "What kind of handkerchief?" ”

Duofu said: "It is a concubine-colored golden wind and jade dew handkerchief, which is made of fine Hangzhou silk, beautifully embroidered, and looks like an object of the master in the palace." But whose it is, the minions have not yet found out. ”

"Golden Wind and Jade Dew......"

Su Youyi settled down and slowly closed her eyes.

……

On the third day of March, the festival is celebrated.

Folk women have to go out of the city to enjoy the flowers in spring every season, and worship the god of flowers, and men also have many people who go out to race horses and see flowers at this time, maybe they can also get married.

Taking advantage of this season, Su Youyi held a spring banquet in the palace and invited concubines, princes, and princesses to come.

Naturally, all the concubines did not dare to delay, and they all dressed up in advance and prepared carefully for this spring banquet.

"Always, today is the solar term of the god of flowers, and you should dress up brightly. Do you really want to wear this lotus color? ”

The palace maid said, unwillingly looking at the red spring dress hanging behind the screen, and felt that it was more beautiful.

Li Changzai looked at the bronze mirror, only curled the corner of his mouth and sneered, "Confused." What is the current situation in the palace now, and what is my status? Constantly, there are only two constants in the palace, and the last one is always present. I'm dressed up in a fancy way, wouldn't it be in vain to let Concubine Yan and them laugh at jokes? ”

The palace maid suddenly didn't dare to speak.

Li Changzai glanced at the bronze mirror again, and finally said: "But the makeup must be put on carefully, the emperor said that the spring banquet of Concubine Zhao, the emperor said that it was a busy state affair, but it is likely to pass." ”

The palace maid understood what she meant when she heard it, and said with a smile: "Yes, the slave maid must dress up well, so that the emperor can't forget the demeanor of Changzai at a glance!" ”

Li Changzai thought so, and others naturally thought that Su Youyi's Spring Banquet Emperor was likely to pass.

Therefore, they all dress up gorgeously, lest their skin is not as white as others, their posture is not as slender as others, and their clothes are not as luxurious as others......

Even Concubine Hui, who is old and decrepit, is not to be outdone and dresses herself up.
