Sure enough, it didn't take long for the palaces to receive news that Sun Zhao was seriously injured and needed to recuperate, and he couldn't even attend the funeral of Emperor Jingduan's concubine.

Meng Hui and Princess Xian pursed their mouths almost at the same time, considering whether to pretend to visit.

"It doesn't seem reasonable not to go, let's take a walk after dinner later, and then send someone back to the house to bring him something to show our gratitude." As a cousin, Princess Xian has completely chilled this eldest nephew.

"Well, by the way, go out and ask what the identity of the assassin is." Meng Hui saw the assassin's face very clearly, a young man in his early twenties, very brilliant in appearance, a little feminine, and he was the type that he would not forget at first glance.

She faintly felt that this person was likely to be Song Ming, who had been in love with Sun Zhao for a long time and was willing to seduce Sun Yi'an for him!

When Meng Hui rewatched all this now, he felt that Sun Zhao must have read books such as "One Hundred Ways of Rebellion", "The Art of Palace Fighting", and "How to Become a Big Winner of the Imperial Family". If it weren't for the emperor and queen being old fritters, maybe he would really be able to sit firmly on the throne.

"What are you thinking?" Princess Xian suddenly asked.

"I'm thinking, that assassin is likely to be Song Ming." Meng Hui replied honestly.

"Oh? Is it the one that Pingyang falls in love with? Princess Xian listened to the whole process of entering the palace in Meng Hui, and was naturally no stranger to this name.

Meng Hui nodded, and after a while, he said: "I went to inquire after I returned to the house, Song Ming has been obsessed with the three princes since he was a teenager, not only that, he did not die violently because of Sister Pingyang's affairs, but escaped into Buddhism and went to Ruoshou Temple to become a monk!" ”

"If that's the case, then the assassin could really be him." Princess Xian said lightly, "He is loyal to Sun Zhao and dares to do anything." ”

But isn't it, hooking up with the princess didn't give her life, and then she came to send it again.

"He's not afraid that the Song family will suffer?" This is not just a pit father, it is simply a pit nine clans!

Princess Xian snorted lightly and said, "If such a big boy can't say it, he'll disappear, and you don't know anything about the Song family?" It's just to put Song Ming's life on the line, and bet that Sun Zhao will bring them a greater future. ”

Meng Hui was speechless, he didn't expect there to be such a layer.

"It's a pity that Pingyang, it's not good to look at someone, you have to look at such a thing!" Princess Xian still has a family affection for Sun Yi'an, and she can't help but feel depressed when she mentions it. "Those officials who investigated the case also did not do anything, and after so long, they didn't even find any new clues!"

Only then did Meng Hui react, it turned out that Princess Xian didn't expect Sun Yi'an to commit suicide.

"The officials investigating the case did not dare to investigate further, and besides, there was no need for more clues in this matter. The so-called murder case in the closed room was actually created by the three princes, Concubine Liang, and Sister Pingyang. ”

Princess Xian was a little surprised when she heard this: "How could it be...... I believe that your aunt and the third prince are involved, but how can Pingyang be so stupid! ”

Meng Hui first told the story of Xiao Shizi back then, of course, he didn't skip Sun Yi'an begging Sun Youyi not to say it. "So when the prince of Pingchuan and the princess of Xianjun came to visit, I only said that I forgot and didn't see anything."

The two princes of Pingchuan County not only looked for her, but also went to find every child who participated in hide and seek back then, and even several princes and princesses in the palace did not miss it. It's just that the answers they get are always "I don't know", "I didn't see it", and "he hid there by himself".

Later, the king of Pingchuan began to believe that his son did not die of a conspiracy, but was really competitive and wanted to hide in a place that was difficult to be found, which led to this tragedy.

"Princess Xianjun never believed it, she said that she knew her son, Xiao Shizi was not a naughty and competitive person, and it was impossible to hide in that kind of place on purpose." Princess Xian recalled the past and was quite embarrassed.

She also said that before leaving home, she had warned Xiao Shizi many times that after entering the palace, you must behave properly, be friendly to others, be honest and obedient, and not cause trouble.

Meng recalled the scene in his memory, and thought that Xiao Shizi was too friendly and obedient. Sun Zhao told him where to hide, and he hid wherever he went, obviously knowing that the third prince was someone he couldn't mess with.

"Alas, later, whenever there was a gathering in the palace or in various prefectures, she would pull the relatives of those children to ask non-stop, and gradually became a little delirious, and then she couldn't afford to get sick." Princess Xian glanced at Meng Hui with a complicated expression, and then shook her head. "I didn't expect that since then, Sun Zhao has been ......"

Meng Hui didn't give her much time to reminisce, and quickly continued with the topic just now.

"From this incident, it can be seen that Sister Pingyang is not disgusted with Sun Zhao, but will help him in secret." Meng Hui analyzed the reasons for Sun Yi'an's suicide to Princess Xian from beginning to end, and saw that her face gradually changed.

"Why is Pingyang so stupid." Princess Xian sighed, sat still, and stopped talking. She only felt sorry for Sun Yi'an's behavior, as for Concubine Liang and Sun Zhao's actions, she had expected them.

For the concubines of the palace, only the son is worthy of attention, and no matter how smart the daughter is, beautiful and well-behaved, she will marry another woman sooner or later.

No matter how well their daughters marry, they can't make their status higher, only when their sons are born, can they ascend to the sky in one step, become the winners of the harem, and enjoy the glory.

Concubine Liang has high hopes for Sun Zhao, and in order for him to steadily move to a high position, he can do anything, including sacrificing Sun Yi'an.

Her ruthlessness made Princess Xian feel unbelievable; But her madness and pathetic self-defeat made Princess Xian feel extremely sad.

After a long time, Princess Xian asked in a low voice, "What's going on with that secret room?" Even the people in Dali Temple haven't figured it out, how did you figure it out? ”

Meng replied: "Not long after I arrived at Ningxi Palace, the third prince left the envoys of the vassal kingdom and rushed over, and then I thought about it, maybe I received a notice from Fangqing to prevent Concubine Liang from saying things that should not be said. So I began to recall every word Fang Qing had ever said. ”

Fang Qing was obviously suspicious when mentioning the eldest princess and the jade concubine, and wanted to mislead Meng Hui into thinking that they were murderers.

When talking about Sun Yi'an's death, she deliberately pointed out that Sun Yi'an was stabbed to death from behind, and emphasized that the scars were very large and the murder weapon was very large, so that people could completely rule out the possibility of suicide.

But when Meng Hui had doubts about the source and whereabouts of the murder weapon, Fang Qing immediately changed the topic, saying that the officials handling the case couldn't figure it out, suggesting that this was a dead end and there was no need to think about it deeply.

"At first, I couldn't figure out what could cause so much damage and that I had to be able to operate on my own. Moreover, no one can find it afterwards. ”

Concubine Liang also became curious: "But isn't it, what is so strange?" ”

"Actually, it's not surprising at all." Meng Hui pointed to the ice sculpture on the side, "Because the murder weapon is the ice that can melt into water!" ”
