137 Identity of the deceased(3)
Purple Void Palace.
Lian Zheng followed Ah Li into the palace gate, and wanted to check the identity of the palace maid, Xi Guifei had already known about it, so she waited outside the gate of the main hall, just waiting to welcome Lian Zheng.
You know, when she comes, he can't hide.
As soon as Pian Zheng entered the palace gate, Concubine Xi greeted her. She was dressed in a gorgeous dress, and she was very impressed when she looked at the pitiful kite.
"Lord Mulan, it's windy outside the palace, it's better to go to the palace and drink a cup of warm tea, so that the palace can do a little bit of the landlord's intentions."
Concubine Xi didn't wait for Pian Zheng to refuse, and unexpectedly reached out and shook Pian Zheng's wrist.
Pian Zheng frowned slightly, although her hand did not touch her limbs, but it was very uncomfortable to be separated by a layer of clothing.
Knowing that mercy is a trick, but still doing something unreasonable?
Aliping stepped back and looked at it secretly.
Everything is as the master expected, then he just keeps quiet and stares.
"This palace and Lord Mulan hit it off at first sight, and you are waiting outside." Concubine Xi smiled and retreated, only ordered someone to send something to warm her body, and then pulled the pityher into the inner hall.
"Concubine Niangniang." He saluted and sat down at the table in observance.
"If Bengong remembers correctly, you are Ruan Lianzheng, right?" Concubine Xi saw that the pityan Zheng nodded, and her voice changed suddenly.
"Ruan Lianzheng, do you know that this palace has seen you a long time ago."
The first time she remembered it was when the emperor summoned her to the palace.
If it was before, she really didn't have the slightest impression.
Lian Zheng shook her head, Xi Guifei's eyebrows fell, and she stepped forward to sit beside her with a smile, and held Lian Zheng's hand with her hand.
Concubine Xi leaned over and whispered, "Back then, you helped King Jin fall into the queue and escape from the carriage, and I was the little girl who only entered the carriage later." ”
Pian Zheng was stunned, only raised his eyebrows and thought about it, but he was not impressed.
Concubine Xi seemed to glance at the expression of pity, and was very happy to see this reaction, "If you don't remember, just give up, this palace ordered someone to find someone, and then take you to Wu Zhao's room." ”
"Thank you, mother." He carefully put down the warm tea he was drinking.
Concubine Xi's words were by no means unintentional, she must have deliberately tested something.
"Niangniang, if it is really the palace maid in your palace who has been missing for several months, don't you even know it?"
He hesitated slightly, but still asked carefully.
Concubine Xi raised her eyes, looked at the eyebrows of the pitiful Zheng, and raised her eyebrows and smiled.
"You are different from me, if you were to be me, you would definitely not know it at all."
Pian Zheng lowered his eyes, "Even if it is different, there is nothing that cannot be changed." ”
"The people in the palace don't even know how many of them are, and there are only two or three of them, Lord Mulan must be strictly investigated, look at who removed the people in the palace, and dare to put their hands and feet into the Purple Void Palace, and the palace naturally can't bear it."
Concubine Xi stared at the eyes of the pitiful kite, clear and transparent, as if there was no false words.
The pity kite lowered his head, and his heart couldn't help but surge.
The case didn't seem to be as simple as she thought.
A corpse involved the case in the harem, and the harem was closely connected to the previous dynasty.
It seems that the pity is already inextricable, and it has been dragged into this troubled water.
Pian Zheng's hand was a little stiff, and he could only say: "I must do my best to find out the truth." ”
"This is the best, otherwise a life will be wasted, and if you don't check it well, it will be in vain." Concubine Xi lowered her eyes and smiled.
This smile made pity and felt uncomfortable.
After Xi Guifei said this, Ying Ying smiled, suddenly took the empty cup in front of her, and added tea to it.
The teapot was carried high, and the water stains splashed on the tabletop.
"If you want to add a cup of tea, there is no obstacle if you are stable, but if your hand is unsteady, as long as you can fill this cup of tea, who cares if you are stable or unstable?" Concubine Xi had something to say and smiled faintly.
A dead palace maid doesn't care about others, what she cares about is whether she can use this life.
"What if there is too much water spilled, and you can't add enough tea?" Pity Zheng said lightly.
Concubine Xi smiled.
"It's all about filling this tea, and it's natural to block those who make it dissatisfied." Concubine Xi swept her eyes and froze at the pitiful kite.
"Tea is the same, people are the same, if the road is round with heart and eyes, if the stepping stones on the road can't be stepped on, they can only be removed."
The two of them looked at each other, and the heart of the pity gradually cooled, I am afraid that these words are aimed at her.
Outside the door, there was a sudden reply from the subordinate.
"Niangniang, the Imperial Medicine Division ordered someone to invite Ping An to come."
Concubine Xi lowered her eyelids, smiled faintly, raised her eyes and glanced at the pitiful kite, "In the end, it's because of you." ”
He didn't say a word and didn't answer.
"Let them wait outside the door." Concubine Xi smiled faintly, turned her head, and tightened the handle of the teapot with her fingertips.
"Do you know that this palace has always had a beginning and an end, someone has explained that this palace has protected your safety, then you have to exchange things for it, this palace is not interested in you, he always has this palace to want."
Lian Zheng quietly raised her eyes and looked out the window, the red plum blossoms in Concubine Xi's palace were brilliant.
"When flowers bloom and fall, they will flourish and decline. What if you stick to your own views like a jade tree and don't open them all year round? Why force these flowers to bloom in the cold winter wax moon, and have to decay and wither to the extreme? ”
Concubine Xi hooked her lips slightly and looked at her line of sight.
"There is no reason why the flowers in the palace do not bloom, they grow in the palace, if they do not open, they can only be pulled out and planted, and they cannot be kept."
The pityan did not move, and said, "If the roots are pulled out and fall elsewhere, maybe they will be able to open well." ”
"My sister laughed, how can the things that are not wanted in the palace be touched by others."
Concubine Xi smiled, reached out and grabbed the wrist of the pity, patted it gently, and said jokingly: "These minions can only be burned before they can be made fertile soil, and the trees that are willing to bloom can be watered to ......."
Pity Zheng's heart sank suddenly, and his face turned white.
Before Concubine Xi could say anything more, there was another message from outside the door.
When Concubine Xi heard the voice, she glanced at the pitiful kite, and this glance was bright.
She knew that Pian Zheng was a smart man, and she would be able to understand what she said.
Concubine Xi let go of her hand unhurriedly, withdrew her gaze, and smiled outward: "Come in." ”
Thirteen was already waiting outside, and was poking his head into the room.
"Come on, find a clever girl to send Master Mulan to Wu Zhao's house."
Concubine Xi raised her eyes, and her eyes quietly swept over the thirteen and Ah Li outside the house, then lowered her eyes lightly and smiled at the pitiful kite.
"You see, there are only two followers on the left, and too much is a burden. In the palace, you always have to choose the right one, if you choose the wrong one, this slave is not effective, and if you do something wrong and are punished, the other one will not be able to keep it. ”
Concubine Xi smiled faintly, patted the hand of the pianzheng with her hand, and lowered her voice again: "Don't delay, you shouldn't delay." ”
Pian Zheng's face turned pale, but he forcibly pinched the hand in his sleeve.
"Thank you for your teachings, and retire from your humble position."
Thirteen looked at the pity and walked out of the room with a calm expression, but the cheeks were much whiter than usual.
He muttered in his heart, did he catch up or not?
"Thirteen, does your stomach still hurt?" Pity Zheng walked ahead, and suddenly turned and stared at Thirteen's eyes.
Thirteen Leng Buding was named, "Ah...... It doesn't hurt anymore. ”
"If it still hurts, go back first, there is Ah Li waiting here, nothing can happen." With that, the pitiful kite lowered his eyes and walked forward.
"No...... It doesn't hurt anymore. Thirteen hurriedly shook his head and followed.
Concubine Xi stood inside the palace gate, and there was no one around.
She looked at the distant back, stood tall in the doorway, and pursed the corners of her lips in satisfaction.
"He's here?"
It was originally the little guy who was ordered by the Imperial Medicine Division to ask for the pulse, it was none other than Yuan Jiu.
Yuan Jiu lowered his hand and replied: "The master is already waiting for you there." ”
"It's rare for him to be in a hurry, so he is willing to see this palace for the sake of a cheap status." Concubine Xi breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction.
"Yuan Jiu, don't think that the people in this palace can't get out of the house in the deep palace, can't cross the wall, that is, they can't handle him, the hatred of killing his mother, the hatred of exterminating the clan, how can he avoid it? Even if it is dead, drive the corpse! He has to give me the throne alive! ”
★
Wu Zhao's place of residence was in a side courtyard of the Purple Void Palace, and there were three other palace maids in the house.
There were already other people's belongings piled up on the bed, and the three palace maids said that Wu Zhao hadn't come back three months ago, but they thought that Wu Zhao had pointed out someone else, and the clothes were packed up by Wu Zhao himself, so no one cared.
Everything is gone, and people suddenly don't get it, so there will be the last person to see her, right?
If he really left the palace, how could he die in the palace?
Either Wu Zhao left the palace and came back, or Wu Zhao didn't have time to leave the palace at all!
interrogated these palace maids again, they only remembered that Wu Zhao worked late that day, didn't even eat dinner, I don't know when he came back to pack his clothes, and disappeared the next day.
The housekeeper's father-in-law also searched for a few days, and later said that he had been assigned to another palace, so no one asked about these things again.
Only then did the pity-in-law ask questions, where did the accountability come from and went to other palaces?
The father-in-law in charge said that it was the Zhao Gong bus of Shang Yusi.
Then he rushed to go again.
The grand duke Zhao Yi Zhao Gonggong in the palace is an identity who is the backstage son of the Dong family of Dong Guifei.
He is not a good type in the palace, but he can be a man but he is also tactful, and he does not rely on the background to snub the palaces, but he is a master of knowledge.
Pity Zheng explained the intention, Zhao Yi hesitated slightly, and smiled happily: "The adult's intention is clear, Wu Zhao was indeed pointed out to the other palace, and the Sprinkle family ordered her to return to work the next day." ”
"Dare to ask my father-in-law, where was Wu Zhao pointed out?"
"Hanchun Palace." Zhao Yi carefully flipped out a page from the file and handed it over, "But I didn't go back to my life." ”
Why is it Hanchun Palace again?
If he does not go to his life, he will not go on the day he was pointed out.
The people in the palace here thought she was gone, and the palace over there thought she hadn't come.
In this way, no one knows where she is, and no one cares.
What a coincidence.
Coincidentally, it seems to have been arranged.
