Under the New Year's joint, Ruotang, who should have been very busy, is still living a quiet life.

Liu is really a very satisfying and good helper, although in previous years, Concubine Deng was in charge, she just took over the affairs of the house not long ago, but all aspects are well organized. Even the New Year's gifts that gave Ruotang the most headache, she also arranged them properly. Ruotang only needs to listen to her work report every day, and knowing what is going on in the house every day is her biggest workload of the day.

Although Ruotang doesn't need to worry about other aspects, the Changchun Pavilion is still a stubborn stone pressing on her heart.

In the past few days, Duan Qingyi and Zhongmei have won and lost, but they are still in a tense and stalemate state, which seems to be on the verge of breaking out, but it seems that no one dares to really cross that thunder line. Ruotang was not in a hurry, but the more time passed, and these ill-intentioned women continued to stay in the house, the more unstable her heart became.

At all costs. Be sure to clean up all these annoying women before Chinese New Year's Eve!

Ruotang was half-lying on the soft couch, squinting at his white and beautiful fingers, and a leopard-like bloodthirsty light flowed from his big shining eyes.

To be soft on the enemy is to be cruel to oneself.

She still wants to live a good life with Chu Qianlan. Naturally, I don't want to be cruel to myself. Low Formation Joba.

For a moment, Ruotang beckoned to the auspicious man in the shadows, "It's not difficult for you to kill someone quietly, right?" ”

"Mother, please command." Although Jixiang hung her head, she unconsciously raised her chin, obviously, she thought that Ruotang's words had deeply hurt her self-esteem.

It's just killing someone, and the mother underestimates her too much.

"I want you to kill this person, not only to kill her quietly, but also to make the scene and the body look like she killed, and you can also leave some evidence at the scene that the 'murderer' accidentally left, is there no problem?" Ruotang raised an eyebrow at her.

"No problem." Jixiang replied without thinking.

Ruotang hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes, "Okay, let's go to Fang's." ”

In the end, these hands are still stained with other people's blood.

……

Early the next morning. Fang's death reached Ruotang's ears through the thrush.

"Dead? Why did you die all of a sudden? Ruotang pretended to be puzzled, "This matter is very important, so the concubine should go over and take a look in person." ”

"Mother." Wanru said disapprovingly: "The prince doesn't like you to go there, why don't you wait here, the slave maid will inform Aunt Liu and let her go over to see what is going on." What's going on. I'll let you know again. ”

"If something like this happens, the Liu family is afraid that they won't be able to suppress them, or the concubine will go over and take a look." Ruotang had already made up her mind, she was tired of this group of women thinking about her men in her territory - either this one who ran outside her yard to stroke the qin with the qin, or the one who ran to her with Xiao to play a sad tune, Ruotang had to admire them, while fighting Duan Qingyi, and on the other hand, she wanted to take out all the eighteen martial arts to attract Chu Qianlan's attention. They weren't too tired to panic, but Ruotang couldn't tolerate it anymore.

As she spoke, she glanced casually at the auspicious shadow of the shadow.

Ji Xiang nodded at her almost invisibly.

Ruotang smiled with satisfaction, got up and held Cai Qing's hand, "Let's go." ”

When they arrived at the Changchun Pavilion, the beauties who were originally excited and were surrounding Fang's corpse heard the movement, and they all looked over to Ruotang's side, and when they saw that the only person who came was Ruotang and not Chu Qianlan, they all showed disappointed looks.

Ruotang couldn't help but sneer in his heart when he looked at the women who were dressed more delicate and lovely than usual, it was at this time that they all still had the idea that they might be able to see Chu Qianlan through Fang's death-ordinary girls' families, there was something that mattered to their lives, and they were scared to death, who would remember the matter of dressing up?

It can be seen that these women are unusual.

Zhongmei waited for Ruotang to approach and was about to salute, when she heard Ruotang shout coldly: "Who allowed you to enter?" Hasn't anyone told you that no one is allowed to step into the deceased's room for half a step before the concubine and the prince come? ”

Zhongmei was stunned, not expecting Ruotang to attack them first.

But the cold and lonely Mo stood up and saluted: "Don't worry, Niangniang, the sisters all entered the house together, I heard that a sister was killed, and it is not a big crime to rush over to take a look, right?" ”

"Nature is not a big sin." Ruotang stared at her, but she was thinking in her heart, how is her charm art cultivated, what kind of effect does it have, will it make all men listen to her? But he said lightly: "But what if you don't take the words of the concubine to heart, despise the concubine, and don't take the concubine in your eyes at all?" ”

Yang looked at Ruotang and snatched Mo's words: "Niangniang's words are serious, and the concubines don't dare." ”

"How could you ever be afraid of it?" Ruotang approached them step by step.

But Wanru whispered behind her: "Niangniang, be careful, don't meet their eyes when you speak, especially pay attention to the Yang family." ”

Yang is the one who knows how to do mind-stirring.

Ruotang glanced at the crowd, and the beautiful woman who stood out from the crowd was the Yang family.

Although I don't know what kind of mind-stirring technique is that sounds very high-minded, I don't think I can capture people's minds without the slightest preparation. To Ruotang's ears, this mind-stirring technique is more like hypnosis, and the hypnotic master has to use the medium to urge people, and it is the same for the mind-stirring technique.

Wanru specially mentioned her eyes, thinking about it, her eyes are the key to her mind-stirring technique.

As long as you don't give her a chance to get closer, don't look into her eyes, I don't think she can use this powerful mind-stirring technique on her, right?

Everyone, including the Mo clan, lowered their heads amid Ruotang's scolding, but this Yang clan still raised his chin and stared at Ruotang's eyes tightly.

Ruotang looked away from her, "What, the Yang family has an opinion on what the concubine said?" ”

"The concubine doesn't dare." Yang said, having to hang his head.

"When you first entered the mansion, the concubine said that you must abide by the rules of the mansion. On weekdays, you have a little fight, and you don't make anything out of the ordinary, but the concubine turns a blind eye, for the sake of your face given by the emperor, and doesn't care about you. But I don't want to indulge you in more and more lawlessness and kill people-" Ruo Tanghuo's tone increased, "You have done such a bold and reckless thing!" ”

"We don't dare to take this as a mother." Yang said: "Could it be that Niangniang thinks that the Fang family was killed by us?" Everyone is a sister who came into the house together, and they are close to each other on weekdays, so we have to kill her, there must be a reason, right? ”

"Why?" Ruotang subconsciously wants to look at her - when talking to people, she will always unconsciously look at the other party's eyes and expressions, so that she can see the slightest changes in the other party's expression, but in time to remember that Yang's eyes are invisible, and hurriedly fixed her eyes on the chrysanthemum embroidered with layers of blooming silver thread embroidered on Yang's chest.

This Yang family seems to be in the limelight, but who can say for sure, she is not deliberately attracting Ruotang's attention?

She must have discovered Ruotang's habit, so she came out to oppose Ruotang like this, just to attract Ruotang to look into her eyes?

Ruotang has seen her twice before and after, the first time was when they first entered the mansion, Yang and Cai Qing beat each other, obviously Yang did not use her mind trick at that time, I don't know if it was out of caution or for some other reason, Ruotang is still glad to think about it now, she doesn't want to be someone else's marionette at all.

No matter what, we have to deal with the most threatening Yang clan today.

Charm or something, you can put it aside for a while.

"You are jealous all day long, do you really think that this concubine is blind and doesn't know anything? The Fang family once lived in the Qingqiu Courtyard of the concubine, and was the only one who had seen and served the prince, you know, naturally unwilling! Ruotang said casually, "You want to see the prince all day long, and you don't hesitate to get your life, thinking that as long as something big happens, the prince will naturally appear, and when the prince sees you, all kinds of means to seduce and charm the prince can come out." Look at the two of you, dressed like this, do you feel a little sad because of the death of your companion? ”

Yang was not convinced, "The sisters are also dressed like this on weekdays, not only today, princess...... Although you are a princess, although we are as cheap as mustard, we can't let you impose charges on you at will, princess. If there is something offended, when she sees the prince, the concubine will ask the prince for her guilt. ”

Cai Qing snorted coldly, "You also said that it wasn't because you wanted to see the prince that there was an incident, and you kept thinking about it in front of the prince to distinguish it, it's up to you?" It's a dream! ”

Yang immediately frowned and glared at Cai Qing fiercely. This stinky girl who has been against her since she entered the house, she must clean her up when she has the chance.

Ruotang is not worried that the Yang family will directly use the ultimate move on Cai Qing because of Cai Qing's provocation, after all, it is a big move, it is a waste to use it on a girl, and it will also startle the snake and reveal her own details, then the gain outweighs the loss.

"What do you mean, is this concubine arbitrarily imposing charges on you for no reason?"

"Exactly." This Yang family is obviously carried by Ruotang, and there is quite a sense of justice that has been opened.

"As soon as the Fang clan died, Concubine Ben ordered that no one should be allowed to step into the Fang clan's room for half a step, so as not to destroy the scene of the crime and destroy the incriminating evidence left by the murderer, but where are you standing now?" Ruotang's eyebrows sank, and the harmlessness that pretended to be disappeared immediately, and his eyes swept over every beauty with low eyebrows and lowered eyes, "Tell this concubine, where are you standing now?" ”

Zhongmei finally became a little uneasy, and she didn't even dare to breathe too loudly.

Seeing this, Yang secretly scolded them for being useless, while gritting his teeth against the terrifying pressure that Ruotang suddenly exuded, "Sisters are also in a hurry, so they will ...... did not deliberately disobey Niangniang's order, and asked Niangniang to investigate. ”

"Whether it was intentional or not, you know in your own hearts." Ruotang said lightly: "I will tell you clearly, the prince will not come, whether you have that mind or not, the concubine can't take care of it now." Now, Concubine Ben wants to thoroughly check the Fang family's room, do you want to stay here, or wait outside? ”

Yang was not stupid, and immediately said: "The house is crowded, and the sisters are naturally waiting outside for the princess to find out the results." It's just that, after all, it's a dead room, and the concubine has the courage to stay and accompany the mother to search, I don't know if you can allow it? ”

This is to guess that Ruotang will do something in the search. Ruotang hooked his lips coldly, "Okay, let's keep the two of them, otherwise I will find out something in a while, and I have to say what the concubine did in the house." ”

"The concubine doesn't dare." As Yang spoke, he glanced at Mo.

Mo hesitated for a moment, and shook his head at her quietly.

Yang understood what she meant, if this was a bureau set up by Ruotang against them, it would be better for one person to be trapped in it than two people to be trapped at the same time!

She immediately looked away, stretched out her hand and pulled a beautiful woman closer to her, "Sister Yuan, stay with me." ”

"Yes." The Yuan family replied slowly.

Ruotang looked at her carefully, and saw that her expression was faint, her eyes were dull, and she was slow to act, standing beside Yang, looking like she was headed by Yang, and she had a bottom in her heart.

This Yuan must be one of the victims of the Mind Twisting Technique.

Seeing Ruotang staring at Yuan's eyes, Yang turned his body quietly and half-sideways, blocking Ruotang's view of Yuan's when he walked out one after another with the help of all the beauties.

Her move only made Ruotang more sure of her guess.

Ruotang retracted his gaze, and waited for everyone in the room to almost leave, before he looked at Fang's corpse on the bed, and saw that her face was dark, and her permanently frozen expression was very hideous and painful, and she fell on the bed with her body bowed, her hands tightly pinching her neck were already stiff, and her nails were deeply pinched into the delicate muscles, as if she had strangled herself to death.

Thrush stepped forward to inspect it, and replied: "Niangniang, it seems that she was poisoned, she noticed that she was poisoned, and seemed to want to pull out the poison, but she did not succeed, and the poison was very fast, and the poison was very painful, so she would leave such a dead appearance." ”

"Take a closer look at what other marks she has on her?" Ruotang pressed the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and glanced at the Yang family and the Yuan family not far behind him, the two of them were also in good shape at this time, standing in place and not moving around and rummaging at will, obviously at this time, there was still a princess in her eyes.

The thrush peeled off Fang's family in three or two strokes, and examined it carefully, "Niangniang, she doesn't have any traces of fighting on her body. ”

"That means she took the poison without knowing it, and wasn't forcibly poured into it?"

"So to speak." The thrush nodded.

"Since we can't find more on the corpse, let's move the corpse out of the room first." Ruotang sighed, "Anyway, I have served the prince, make a better coffin, bury the person well, and then let the prince know and see what else he commands?" ”

Cai Qing took the order, and glared at Yang uncomfortably when he went. "Mother, you must be careful."

"Since it's a poison that sets on very quickly, then there's no way the Fang Clan could have taken the poison outside of this room, right?" Ruotang asked the thrush again.

"Naturally, yes, such a poison must have occurred at the time of taking it."

Ruotang's gaze swept over the dim sum in the room, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Yang's gaze also falling on the dim sum: "Check the dim sum on the table, as well as the tea and tea she used, these things to be imported must be carefully checked." ”

The thrush pouted, "Niangniang, according to the slave maid, there must be no problem with this snack to be kept until now." You think, the murderer put poison on the dim sum, and after the deceased died, he must destroy the evidence, how can he let the dim sum stay here? ”

Although she analyzed it like this, she still took off the silver hairpin from her head to test the poison.

It turns out that these snacks are no problem.

Wanru held Ruotang's hand, separated Yang behind her in a protective posture, and reminded the thrush: "There are also water and tea, as well as the kitchen of this Changchun Pavilion." ”

When Thrush heard this, he immediately divided the people in the house into several groups, one group of people inspected the house, one group went to the kitchen, and another group of people inspected Fang's house on the periphery.

After a while, I heard the mother-in-law who was looking outside come in and said, "Niangniang, the slaves and maids have found it under the windowsill." ”

"What is it?" Before Ruotang could speak, Yang couldn't wait to ask.

I thought that Ruotang would definitely reprimand her for her rudeness, but she didn't want her to frown, didn't look at her, and asked the woman directly: "What did you find?" ”

Yang's heart suddenly sank.

She had long discovered that this Hunan princess had a habitual action, that is, she would inevitably look into the eyes of the other party when she spoke. But today, not only did she repeatedly avoid her gaze, but even her several provocations and rudeness failed to get her to look at her. It can be seen that she already knows her secret!

She was now sure that Fang's death was a game, and this game, even if it wasn't set up specifically for her, would definitely trap her in this game. What to do? Is it difficult to sit still?

Yang's gaze swept over the auspiciousness of Wanru and Ruotang who followed behind Ruotang like a shadow, although these two people looked like ordinary people, but she could feel that these two people were by no means general. The idea of holding the princess hostage and escaping from the palace is not feasible at all, and it is a dead end if you grit your teeth like this.

When she was struggling, she noticed that Du Ruotang's gaze was touching her face, and she immediately woke up and reminded herself that it was not yet the time for the fish to die and the net was broken, if there was really any evidence against her, Yang glanced at the Yuan family beside her, and it was not difficult to find a substitute for the dead ghost.

"The slaves found a footprint under the windowsill!" The woman replied excitedly, "Because there is an autumn laurel planted on the windowsill, I want to come to Aunt Fang to water the autumn laurel from time to time, so the ground in that piece is wetter than elsewhere, so that the murderer's footprints can be left." The footprints are very small, and they are left by the woman at a glance, and there is more than one footprint, do you want to go over and take a look? ”

"You don't have to look at it." Ruotang said lightly: "You compare their embroidered shoes and see whose footprints match those left under the windowsill." found a match, and came to tell the concubine again. ”

"But two footprints, I'm afraid I can't find the real culprit with this." Yang interjected again, "The women's feet are all about the same size, not to mention, it is really unfair for the princess to only ask us to compare our embroidered shoes." What if it wasn't one of us, but someone else in the Changchun Pavilion who did this crazy evil thing, but blamed it on us? ”

"Whoever is the most suspicious, of course, starts with whom." Ruotang didn't bother to say more to her, "Yang, let's start with you." If none of you's footprints match those two footprints, Concubine Ben will naturally check on the other people in the Changchun Pavilion. ”

Ruotang said, glancing at Yang's embroidered shoes as if unintentionally, "Yang, there is a lot of mud on your embroidered shoes, I don't know if they are similar to the soil under the autumn laurel tree?" Thrush, please take off your shoes Aunt Yang. ”

Yang was in a panic, and subconsciously wanted to retract his shoes into his skirt, and his face turned a little pale, "Don't joke, Niangniang, my shoes were changed in the morning, how can they be stained with mud......"

"What nonsense!" Thrush stepped forward and rudely interrupted her, "I didn't hear my mother tell you to take off your shoes, there are no rules at all, really do we think our mother is a clay man?" ”

Yang gritted his teeth, "Niangniang, this is the rule of the palace?" When will a maid be able to call her master so casually? ”

"Yo ho, master? You're talking about you? The thrush raised her eyebrows and looked at her with a smile, "It's just something that the emperor gave us the prince, the prince hasn't even seen you, let's call you Aunt Yang, that's for the emperor, so dare to call the master?" It's too shameless and skinless. ”

"You!" Yang stared at the thrush angrily, but in terms of eloquence, she couldn't argue with Ruotang, and in terms of force, she couldn't even beat Cai Qing, in the face of the thrush in front of her who didn't leave a face or was even more excessive than Cai Qing, she had nothing to do, so she had to grit her teeth with hatred and hate, and endure it desperately.

The thrush proudly took the embroidered shoes on Yang's feet and went out to compare.

The people in the house continued to rummage, and under Yang's angry glare, a maid ran over with a bag of things, "Niangniang, there seems to be something wrong with this tea." ”

"Oh? What's wrong? Ruotang asked casually.

It seems that the eyes that were inadvertently thrown to the auspicious are very satisfied, so auspicious, not only is the skill good, but the mind is also very good, she only ordered a sentence to leave evidence, and the auspicious can make the scene and evidence so perfect, it is really a necessary maid for home travel!

"The slave is not sure, but this tea leaves smell wrong, please wait a while." The maid is usually serving tea, so she knows all kinds of tea and tastes well.

With Ruotang's permission, he was busy asking people to take the boiling water that happened to be less boiled on the charcoal fire in the house, and took the tea leaves to brew in front of Ruotang. Seeing that the tea leaves were stretched, the tea was clear, and there was nothing suspicious, Ruotang asked, "How?" ”

"The slave has a wild cat, please wait a little longer." The maid thought that she liked the cat a little, but when Ruotang looked at her, she was ruthless, turned around and went out to hug the kitten in her house.

She put the dried tea in a small dish, and the kitten obediently stuck out her tongue and licked the tea with her hand.

Everyone looked at the cat intently, and sure enough, in a few breaths, the docile kitten suddenly bowed its body, let out a terrible howl, and then rolled on the ground with its limbs twitching, and after a while, it was motionless.

The little maid secretly wiped her tears and said to Ruotang: "Niangniang, it is really poisoned in the tea!" ”

Ruotang glanced at her red eyes, and his tone softened slightly, "Such a terrible poison, such a vicious intention, if the murderer is not found, who knows if there will be another victim." Come on, go through the Changchun Pavilion to the concubine, and see if there is anything harmful in this courtyard? ”

"Yes, sis!" This group of people hurried to find the maid to help search room by room.

There were already dense beads of sweat on Yang's head, and she knew that if Ruotang came to her today, she must have made all the preparations, the footprints under the windowsill must match her shoes, poison will definitely be found in her room, and there will be any other evidence, which will definitely point to her in the end!

It will be too late to drag it out, and she must make a desperate gamble to have a chance to survive.

Fortunately, this Yuan family was slightly controlled by her at first, but in such a tense occasion and such a noisy scene, it is extremely exhausting to control Yuan without attracting attention, and I am afraid that she will have to raise her in bed for two or three months afterwards.

But there was no other way now, she gritted her teeth, and the hand under her sleeve pulled Yuan's hand hard, causing Yuan to look at her obediently.

Yang glanced at Ruotang, who was looking at the dead cat on the ground with his eyebrows lowered, closed his eyes forcefully, and when he opened his eyes again, the eyes that were already much darker than others were darker than usual!

Wanru, who had been paying attention to Yang's movements, quietly signaled to Ruotang, "She really jumped off the wall in a hurry, and she was going to find a substitute for the dead ghost in front of you-Niangniang, just let her go?" ”

"I heard the prince say that her mind control technique is very draining to completely control people's minds, and if she wants to completely control the Yuan family to become her substitute ghost, she will become very weak, since this concubine has made up her mind to take her under the knife, even if she is allowed to exculpate today, there will be tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." The Yang family is destined to become the fish on her chopping board, and the date of death is naturally determined by her, "Concubine Ben also wants to see today, how powerful her mind control is." ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard the originally quiet Yuan suddenly knelt down, knelt down on the ground, kowtowed desperately, and shouted in his mouth: "The princess spares her life, the princess spares her life, I did it, Sister Fang was killed by me, I did it......"
