Chapter 37: The Princess Who Died in the Chamber of Secrets (2)
Meng Hui couldn't help but think of the palace fighting novels and TV series he watched before he died, in the palace, it seemed that people were going to die at every turn, they were going to fall into the pool of the garden at every turn, they had to be splashed with tea at every turn to eat a meal, and when they were changing clothes, they were about to break in a lewd man at every turn......
These situations made her feel very congested! If bad luck happens, can she solve it according to the methods in the novel and TV series? It's good that this dynasty has the Internet, and the netizens of Zhihu Weibo are the most enthusiastic, and she can post online and other solutions when she encounters difficulties.
Thinking about it for a while, Meng Hui still had a sense of fear of the palace.
She looked at the sky speechlessly, and prayed that the God of this world would look at the face of Hades and be a little polite, so that she could complete the task quietly as a chicken.
"What's wrong with the county lord? Is there something uncomfortable? Agarwood keenly noticed that her face was wrong, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold her hand.
Even the maid is so alert, she really can't relax! Meng Hui breathed a deep sigh of relief, tried to calm down, and pulled out a wry smile. "I'm fine, it's just that as soon as I arrived in the palace, I remembered Sister Pingyang."
"Alas," Zi Sandalwood, who was standing on the side, saw that she was not unwell, and her heart was a little calm, and she sighed, "The county lord mourns." The adults of Dali Temple and the Criminal Department are still investigating, and when the real murderer is found, the emperor will definitely deal with it strictly and seek justice for the princess. β
"Yes, don't think too much about it, it's hurting your nerves. If you are unwell and see the queen and the concubine, they will have to worry about you in turn. Agarwood reminded me euphemistically, which made Meng Hui's heart tighter.
She went to the palace to live in the palace this time to comfort Concubine Liang, not to block Concubine Liang. It should be lively and cheerful just right, not to make people feel that she is not sad about the princess's death, but also not to be too sad and bring a bad atmosphere in the palace.
Life is like a drama all depends on acting skills, and in the palace, you have to show your acting skills that can win the Oscar. With a smile that was not embarrassed and not impolite, Meng Hui walked towards the queen's Fengyi Palace surrounded by a group of maids.
The emperor has not been a good woman in recent years, and there are not many surviving harem concubines, and compared with previous generations of emperors, the heirs are also a little scarce.
In addition to the queen in the harem, only the concubine has the most noble status, and the positions of the other three concubines have been vacant and have not been added for a long time.
The queen once had a son and a daughter, both of whom died of smallpox, and there were no heirs since, and she had no intention of taking any prince under her knees.
There are eight princes in the palace, including Sun Yi'an, a total of nine princesses. Generally speaking, the queen is equal and impartial, but because she has a good relationship with Concubine Liang, she spoils Sun Yi'an a little.
Sun Yi'an's death made the queen sad and sick, she insisted on cooperating with the investigation and cleaning up the harem, but unfortunately there was still no result.
"County Lord, it stands to reason that it's been a month, why hasn't there been any progress in the case?" Agarwood walked beside Meng Hui and muttered almost silently.
Meng Hui said softly: "Who knows, if it's really no progress or fake no progress?" There is no rumor at all, and we don't know what the situation in the palace is now. Maybe there are some new clues for a long time, but they haven't reached our ears yet. β
The emperor was so angry that he didn't want to say anything, he kept a straight face and scared all day long, and he didn't even want to see his younger brother, and the Xianwang Mansion has not received the latest news so far. Meng Hui's eyes were black when she entered the palace this time, and when she talked about this mission, she immediately felt weak, helpless, and pitiful......
Originally, the case of the secret room was complicated enough, but it was still a secret room in the palace, and with her identity, it was completely impossible to show her skills to investigate the case.
"I can't figure it out, Princess Pingyang has never had a mortal enmity with anyone, who would be so ruthless? Besides, it's still in Changning Palace, this is the princess's own territory! It's bold enough! County Lord, do you think it will be the master of which palace? β
Rosewood leaned into Meng Hui's ears, her voice was smaller than that of a mosquito, and only Meng Hui and Agarwood could hear her words.
Meng thought about it, in fact, there were many people who didn't deal with Sun Yi'an, and the person who didn't deal with it the most was the eldest princess. The two have been complaining for many years because of some trivial things, and they don't have a good face for each other.
It's just that Meng Hui thinks that this little feud is almost the same as finding fault with each other, so that it won't make you die.
"The identity of the person who dares to do this is definitely not low, as for the reason for doing it...... In fact, it doesn't have to be for Sister Pingyang. β
The palace struggle was complicated and there were many parties, so she had to suspect that this matter might be directed at the good concubine who was in a high position, or for the third prince.
The more you go into the deep palace, the more attendants come and go, the agarwood and red sandalwood no longer speak, and the group quietly walks forward, looking like a long snake meandering from a high place.
The palace is majestic and atmospheric, and there is a scene along the way, Meng Hui feels that the palace here is a little similar to the Forbidden City he has seen on the Internet. If you look closely, the architectural shapes are very different, and there are many carved animals and flowers that are not recognizable, which is obviously something unique to this strange dynasty.
Meng Hui forced himself to look straight ahead, looking at the scenery in the distance to relieve his tension, and when he came to the outside of Fengyi Palace, the nervousness when he first entered the palace finally disappeared.
"Lord Qinghe has arrivedβ" The high-pitched voice of the maid at the door reached the inner hall, and Meng Hui walked through the rows of maids and walked in slowly amid a greeting.
In the bright and spacious hall, several huge ice sculptures were placed, exuding a trace of coolness, and the heat outside disappeared at once, making the impetuous Meng Hui gradually calm down.
While observing with her peripheral vision, she began to bow down to the queen sitting in a high position according to the rules in her memory.
"Good boy, get up and talk." The queen is graceful and elegant, her eyes are peaceful, and her expression is just right, without the insidiousness of the bad queen in palace fighting novels.
Meng Hui found that her face was still haggard and pale after illness, and she was much thinner than she remembered, obviously because she was hurt by Sun Yi'an's matter.
"How are your father and mother? I can't bear to leave you for so long, right? β
Meng Hui took a seat under her soft gaze, gradually eliminated her nervousness, and replied in her usual state: "Where will it be, the mother concubine wishes that I would learn more rules from my mother." β
The queen smiled and nodded, and said with regret: "It's a pity, I can't keep you this time." You have to go to Concubine Liang's place to accompany her. She restrained her smile as she spoke, and sighed softly, "Concubine Liang has been in a trance recently, you have to cheer up." β
Meng Hui chuckled in his heart, and his mind was in a trance? The deep meaning of this word in the palace is not far from losing your heart and going crazy!
