Yu Wenhao agreed with Nian Yun's words, but he also retained doubts about Nian Yun in his heart.

Nian Yun's devotion to Ruyi, as well as Nian Yun's attitude towards Tingxi, his intuition made him feel a little strange, although Nian Yun's words can be explained far-fetched, and Tingxi is no longer there, and there is no way to obtain evidence, so this doubt may be forgotten later, or it may always be retained, but there is no answer.

The two returned to the East Palace, Yu Wenhao went to deal with political affairs, and Nian Yun also practiced calligraphy and read books in his spare time, occasionally tinkered with Yijun's snacks, and went to the cold palace from time to time.

At the end of June, on the seventh day of the construction of the Changsi Palace, the palace people began to deal with the barren grass land of the Changsi Palace.

When turning over the earth, a lot of white bones were found in the deserted courtyard of the Changsi Temple.

Soon Nian Yun and Yu Wenhao got the news.

"County Lord, it's not good, the palace people dug up twenty-one corpses from the courtyard of the cold palace, and the degree of decay is different." Scarlet Jade hurriedly came back to personally announce the New Year's rhyme.

Nian Yun's first reaction was not fright, but joy, "Really! ”

But when I reacted, there were twenty-one.

Scarlet Jade didn't understand why his own county lord was so happy, and reminded, "County lord, a corpse was found in the cold palace, and the county lord handled this matter, so he wanted to tell the emperor and queen, how did the twenty-one corpses come, and there will inevitably be a storm in the palace at that time, and now the county lord is in charge of this matter, and I don't know if it will implicate the county lord......"

Scarlet Jade reminded, Nian Yun came back to her senses and said calmly, "No, these twenty-one corpses have nothing to do with me, and they ......" And these palace people are afraid that even if they learn that there is, the queen will not pursue it.

After all, there are too many palace maids and eunuchs in this palace, if you want to pursue it, who knows what it is.

"The county lord will go and take a look first, the slave and maid have not let people do justice in this matter, how should the county lord deal with it?"

Nian Yun nodded and called someone to go to the cold palace together.

When he left the East Palace, he happened to meet Yu Wenhao, and after thinking about it, Yu Wenhao sent someone, he would definitely know the news, the two looked at each other, and went to the cold palace with a tacit understanding.

The twenty-one corpses in the cold palace were all dug up, with varying degrees of decay, and three of the corpses were not completely decomposed, and were covered with straw mats.

And the rest have become white bones, because the burial place is different, but it is possible to piece together these corpses to find the whole body.

Nian Yun didn't overhead slightly, Yu Wenhao asked people to take the three corpses that were not completely decomposed first, and among the remaining eighteen white bones, it was easy to distinguish men and women, and it was okay to distinguish age, but it was almost impossible to separate identities.

"Nanruo, these bones, you let people take them out."

As soon as Yu Wenhao finished speaking, Nian Yun grabbed his shirt, "That, aren't you looking for Ruyi?" ”

"Ning Xing, if you find a professional worker, you may be able to distinguish the men and women of these corpses, their ages, and the approximate number of years of death, but it is basically impossible to distinguish the identity of each person. Among these people, there may not be any wishes. "There are countless palace maids and eunuchs who disappear in the palace every year, and this cold palace is just the tip of the iceberg.

Nian Yun reacted suddenly, looking at Yu Wenhao, by the way, there is really no way to prove that one is wishful.

But she knew......

"If you find Ruyi, what are you going to do?" He opened his mouth in a hurry, a little nervous.

"What do you want to do?" Yu Wenhao narrowed his eyes, had some thoughts in his heart, and looked at Nian Yun and asked her rhetorically.

"Since Ruyi and Aunt Tingxi are good friends, then Ruyi should also be with Tingxi, can you jail the prince's cousin and send Ruyi's body to Nanyang Palace." Nian Yun's eyes flickered, "With Aunt Tingxi." ”

Yu Wenhao paused, and said tentatively in a calm voice, "Could it be that Tingxi also told you how to distinguish Ruyi?" ”

Nian Yun reacted, and nodded busily like pounding garlic.

Yu Wenhao waved his hand and let people go down.

Nian Yun followed the eighteen white bones and looked at them carefully, although it was a little infiltrating, but he still held back.

After looking at the crack on the left arm of a scattered white bone, the apricot eyes couldn't move away.

Yes, yes,

At that time, she was twisted by the guards and lost her breath immediately, but she could hear the sounds around her and feel the movement of her body, and she was thrown into a dry well before she completely lost consciousness.

When she fell into the dry well, she heard it clearly!!

Own hand!! Broken!!

"Is this one?"

"Hmm."

Nian Yun licked her lips, looked at the corpse bones of her first life, and felt inexplicably in her heart, as if she had said goodbye to her first life.

"Nanruo, this one will be dealt with alone." Yu Wenhao squinted his eyes and did not ask Nian Yun on the spot, but let people take away Ruyi's body.

After everything was dealt with, Yu Wenhao went back to the East Palace first, and Nian Yun went to Fengyi Palace to inform the queen of the matter.

As Nian Yun expected, after the queen learned that twenty-one corpses had been dug up in the East Palace, she only frowned slightly, "They are all slaves in the palace, and if they are brought out and buried, they will not have a place, it is not a big deal." "What happened in the palace, in fact, the queen is clear, including the three corpses that are not yet dead.

Nian Yun nodded, "Yes." ”

"Ning Xing, this palace heard about the matter of the cold palace, and the prince went with you?" The queen spoke abruptly, but it was because of the rumors of the harem recently.

The prince of the capital and the county lord are made in heaven, and the prince is very fond of the county lord, which is what the queen handed over to the county lord, and the prince is not at ease, so he has to call someone to help the county lord. The emperor has always dealt with the affairs of the previous dynasty, and the queen settled the worries of the harem, and there has never been an emperor in the Qi country who cares about the harem and the concubine.

Nian Yun's heart jumped, "Yes." ”

"Ning Xing, you have a good relationship with the prince, and this palace knows. It's just that the prince is the prince after all, and he can't worry about everything, how can you let the palace rest assured that you can handle the affairs of the harem? "The last time Nian Yun left Yu Wenhao to dine in Fengyi Palace, although the queen was a little happier, she also saw that Yu Wenhao was different from Nian Yun.

The prince has always been pure, focusing on government affairs, since Ning Xing entered the palace, the prince smiled a lot, but he also repeatedly broke his vows and changed his past behavior, but he didn't know whether it was good or bad.

"The prince's cousin thinks that Ning Xing is young, and it is the first time that his aunt has handed over to Ning Xing. The prince's cousin also said to Ning Xing that only because Grandma Taizu asked her cousin to take good care of Ning Xing before she died, and Grandma Taizu loved her cousin, so her cousin always remembered it in her heart, and she would take special care of Ning Xing. Nian Yun Lang Lang explained, when the queen heard this, her frowning brows really relaxed.

Emperor Qi Xiao's filial piety, the prince's loyalty and filial piety are also good, so there is a reason for this explanation.

Leaving Fengyi Palace, the tension in Nian Yun's heart was relaxed, facing the queen is different from facing Emperor Qi Xiao, in general, women are always more difficult to deal with than men in the harem, so she has to be afraid every time she sees the queen.

It seems that no matter what Yu Wenhao moves, there will be wind and grass in the harem, and I don't know if she has to stay up to the right time to get ahead. The queen was born to Emperor Qi Xiao at the age of sixteen, and Emperor Qi Xiaodi is only in his early forties this year, and he is still very young, so he is afraid that Yuwenhao can only ascend the throne if he gets thirty or forty.

No, there are also benefits, if Yu Wenhao does not ascend the throne, there are not so many rules, and it is good to think that it is like this now, at least I see that Yu Wenhao does not need to be so complicated, and he does not need to be so old, if he ascends the throne, I don't know what will happen.

No matter what, it's always a good thing that Nian Yun found her body, so she thought about having someone send the body back to Yijun and bury it well, no matter what, it would be an explanation for herself and Tingxi.

As everyone knows, the body was not sent to Yijun immediately after being taken out of the palace, Yu Wenhao privately asked people to examine the body, and only got an accurate reply on the third day.

"Prince, the bones, I gave a detailed inspection report." Nanruo handed the inspection report to Yu Wenhao.

A thin one, a few words.

Female, aged about thirteen, died for at least 10 years, the cause of death was a broken neck bone, the body was dragged or abandoned after death, there were fracture marks on the left forearm, and the small bone of the right leg was slightly broken.

Seeing the last sentence, Yu Wenhao's eyes flashed slightly, "Drag down after death?" Fracture? ”

"Yes." Nan Ruo explained, "My subordinates have asked in detail, and I said that if the bones are broken when the person is alive, the bones will slowly grow together, and there may be some twists, and there will be traces of growth." But if a person dies, or if a fracture was broken within three months before death, there will be such marks. ”

Really.

Yu Wenhao lowered his eyes, if Ruyi had fractured a bone within three months before she died, then she should have been resting at that time, and it was impossible for her to appear in the harem at that hour. And Tingxi didn't say it, so it was impossible for Tingxi to know the location and traces of Ruyi's fracture.

So, where did Nian Yun come from?

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Yu Wenhao ordered, "Let people send this corpse to the Nanyang Palace, and ask the county lord if there is any news to bring with him." ”

"Yes." Nanruo nodded.

"By the way...... Yu Wenhao suddenly remembered, "If the Nanyang Royal Mansion buries Ruyi with Tingxi, I will put two sticks of incense on Tingxi on my behalf." ”

"Yes." After Nan Ruoying went down, he was instructed to do this.

In the study, the knobly jointed fingers tapped on the dark brown desk, which seemed quite rhythmic.

The air was very dull, and there was a depressing feeling that made people breathless, Yu Wenhao raised his eyes and looked at the sky outside the window, the sky was overcast and oppressive, and it looked like it was going to rain heavily.

He remembered the last time, when Nian Yun was dreaming, he had said.

She is wishful, she is not wishful...... She's Ah Qi, she's not Ah Qi......

Is Ruyi this Ruyi? So, who is Ah Qi?

That night, Yu Wenhao sneaked into Nian Yun's room like a thief.

Such a ungentlemanly act, Yu Wenhao has only done it twice.

It's all because of the rhyme of the year.

But the purpose was different, so when he jumped into the window, Yu Wenhao's heart beat a little hard, which was even more nervous than when he sneaked into Myanmar incognito and led his troops to attack the Burmese Eagle King at night.

At this moment, a thorn flashed in the sky, and a deafening roar came to the sky.

Yu Wenhao's heart stopped, and God couldn't see his sneaking behavior?

At the same time, Nian Yun was also awakened by the piercing thunder, sat up from the bed, subconsciously grabbed the bedpost, and gasped for breath.
