Hearing this, He Xi stopped his steps, looked back, and saw Qiao'er coming down from the steps, her steps were a little hurried, she was panting slightly, and her face was dyed with a little red glow, which was bright and moving.

"Niangniang said, since Xi promised to make the medicine sachet, then bring it next time, although it is a folk remedy, but it is the little master's intention." After Qiao'er conveyed the queen's words to He Xi, she went back to the inner hall.

Ruyi said puzzledly: "The little master obviously didn't make any medicine bags, why did he say that?" ”

He Xi looked at the handsome and weaker figures in the distance, his smile grew, and he didn't speak, and returned to the Hehuan Hall without saying a word.

Within a few days, there was a happy event in the Ice Spring Palace, it turned out that Xu Qing'er was promoted to the concubine position, and it was less than a month after everyone entered the palace, Xu Qing'er was promoted to the concubine position, in addition to the queen, she was the highest, and Zhao Ruxue of Wanxiu Palace was promoted together, but Zhao Ruxue was promoted from a beauty to a concubine.

Ruyi was a little worried, but seeing that He Xi was still calm and seemed to be a puddle of deep water, he didn't say much, after serving He Xi for so long, Ruyi also knew He Xi's temperament, looking tepid, but acting calmly and capably, and couldn't help but gradually admire in his heart.

However, the palace has not been festive for a long time, and there is another thing, Chuxiu Palace since the last time the person who was hanged, another eunuch died, this time it was found in a well in Chuxiu Palace, listen to the people, when the eunuch was fished out, his stomach was bulging, and he still had wounds on his body, and he was soaked in well water for a few days, and the white skin and flesh turned out, and there was a foul smell.

But the most frightening thing was nothing else, but everyone also saw a luanwei flower painted with blood on the top of the well, and after checking the roster, they found that this little eunuch was also in the palace of the former queen.

When Ruyi told He Xi about this, the eunuchs and palace maids in the hall were trembling with fright, and one of the little palace maids said with a pale face: "The slave maid heard that this luanwei flower was the favorite flower of the former queen during her lifetime, and this murderer left such marks everywhere, don't you mean...... Doesn't that mean ......?"

It seemed that they had thought of a possibility, everyone looked at He Xi in fear, but He Xi was lying on the soft collapse, still with the travelogue in his hand, hearing the palace maid say this, He Xi straightened up with some curiosity: "What is the palace saying about this matter now." ”

It is rare to see He Xi so interested in one thing, so the palace people talked nonsense, and the most rumored thing is that the first queen turned into a resentful spirit to harm people, but as for why the people killed were all the original people from Weiyang Palace, it is unknown, maybe it is just a coincidence, after all, the current palace people in Chuxiu Palace are all from the Sin Slave Mansion, and it may be normal for one or two to come out to serve the first queen.

He Xi didn't think so, she turned her head and asked, "Did His Royal Highness King Xian find out anything?" ”

This Ruyi knows, after all, King Xian investigated the case in the palace, and all the palaces paid attention to it, and gathered the scattered skirt for He Xi and said: "Before, when the hanged palace maid died, I found a witness palace maid, whose name was Caihe, I originally wanted to ask something, but I didn't expect the palace maid to be scared crazy. ”

The only clue has been broken, and the case is naturally in an unsolvable situation.

"Let's go to Chuxiu Palace to have a look." He Xi paused, got up and said.

Ruyi hesitated a little, and the little palace maid who had just spoken also persuaded: "Little master, the Chuxiu Palace is now gloomy, and the ladies of the harem are all walking around, why are you still going up." ”

He Xi straightened out the somewhat crushed sideburns and said: "Your Majesty just said that His Royal Highness King Xian would investigate the case, but he didn't say that the people in the harem are not allowed to interfere, in case we can find any useful clues, it can be regarded as indirectly sharing worries for Your Majesty, isn't it?" ”

Looking at himself in the bronze mirror, the scars on his face slowly faded a lot, and the doctor came to see it a few days ago, and it was said that it would be completely healed in three or four days.

If he couldn't persuade He Xi to get his opinion, he had to turn around and take out a plain gouache embroidered white lotus pleated skirt from the wardrobe, hairpin a plum blossom silver bead hairpin, and press the sideburns with two beads on the bun, everything was cleaned up, He Xi suddenly reached out and opened the makeup on the side, dipped a little red with a pen, and lit a plum blossom at the center of his eyebrows.

The cinnabar mole that covers the center of the eyebrows, wishful thinking is not clear, therefore, this kind of makeup is indeed prevalent in the palace, but the graceful and graceful of his little master, especially a little cinnabar in the center of the eyebrows, is even more charming.

Looking at the bronze mirror with satisfaction, He Xi put on the veil and walked towards Chuxiu Palace.

The two palaces are very close, and when I arrived at Chuxiu Palace, I saw a person dressed as a guard guarding the gate of the palace, not the costume of the Praetorian Guards in the palace, dressed in black and short, with a cold and resolute expression, thinking that he was a person from the Xianwang Mansion.

The man stretched out his arms to block He Xi's retreat, and said coldly: "This lady, but she went to the wrong place, and now the Chuxiu Palace is not allowed to enter without the permission of our Highness." ”

"Since this is the case, then please help me report it, and say that Xi promised to come to Chuxiu Palace to have a look." The man looked He Xi up and down suspiciously, but saw a simple and simple jade pendant tied around He Xi's waist.

Although it was half-covered by the overlapping skirt, the guard's expression still changed greatly, and the belt around He Xi's waist was the Biyue Order, the Biyue Order, the entire Moon Guard had to obey the owner of this jade pendant, the prince gave the Biyue Order to this woman, could it be said?

didn't have time to think about it, he changed his cold attitude and arched his hand: "Please wait a while, I will go back to the prince." ”

He Xi smiled undiminishedly, nodded, and the red plum in the center of her eyebrows also bloomed with her smile, bright and delicate.

After a while, the guard hurriedly came out and invited He Xi in, He Xi walked through the winding corridor with Ruyi, and some palace people knelt down to salute, but when someone saw He Xi again, they were obviously stunned for a moment.

He Xi looked at the past, these people are more or less familiar, that is to say, these people have served themselves before, she wore a veil, her eyes are also very similar to the previous Mu Jin, plus the plum makeup in the center of the eyebrows, maybe this is a secret belonging to the Weiyang Palace, in order to please Tuoba Chen, Mu Jin painted the plum makeup after the ancients, but he couldn't draw it well, and when he was idle, he hid in the dormitory alone and painted it over and over again.

When these people saw He Xi's dress, they were inevitably a little stunned. But the fire was what they saw with their own eyes, and the flames were so monstrous that it was winter, but they felt that the air was scorching.

There is almost no possibility of surviving such a fire.

There were a few old people, with tears in their eyes unconsciously, during this time in Chuxiu Palace, they listened to the palace people around them every day that this incident was caused by the resentment of the former queen. Could it really be that the first queen complained about them? But in such a fire, it was not that no one went in to save it, they did their best.

He Xi came all the way, Lianbu was light, and it seemed that he was carefully looking at the road under his feet, but he took in the expressions of the palace people all the way.

Tuoba Yue is in the apse, and on the paper is the pattern of the luanwei flower copied down, the two are almost identical, presumably from the same person's hand.

Seeing He Xi coming, Tuoba Yue raised his eyes, the look in his eyes had not yet disappeared, with a little exploration. 、

Retreating from the palace, Tuoba Yue said: "Your matter has caused such a big wave in the palace, I don't know how you feel?" ”

Although Tuoba Yue tried her best to slow down her tone, the atmosphere was still awkward, He Xi was glad that she was wearing a veil at this time, she was as angry as an orchid, and her long eyelashes fell down like cicada wings. said with a smile: "You and I both know that the first queen is resentful of the spirit, it is pure nonsense, and the people behind this scene are picking on the original minions of Weiyang Palace, there may be a possibility." ”

Tuoba Yue's cold and arrogant eyes seemed to have no focus, and the dark eyes were full of calm, but at this moment, there were sudden waves, with a hint of playfulness and laughter: "I want to see Caihe." ”

Caihe, the palace maid who was frightened crazy, when He Xi made this suggestion, he saw a dangerous light flashing in Tuoba Yue's eyes, and there was a trace of hesitation.

"The doctor has examined it, Caihe is really crazy, the palace maid who went to deliver the food before was scratched by her, it is a little dangerous, you ......"

He Xi looked at him for a long time before he said, "Your Royal Highness King Xian, is this concerned about me?" ”

Coughing lightly, Tuoba Yue said coldly: "If you are injured, our majesty will blame me, and it will be unfavorable." ”

He Xi's smile gradually cooled down: "Maybe if it hurts, our majesty will feel more and more distressed, and I don't have to?" ”

Tuoba Yue's fingers in his sleeve clenched up sharply and said, "Come on, wait for the little master to see the lotus." ”

After that, he turned around and no longer looked at He Xi, He Xi followed his subordinates to a small side hall of Chuxiu Palace, there were some palace guards around, and they all saluted when they saw He Xi, and there were screams in the hall, as well as women's crying.

"Is Caihe the only one in there?" The palace man in charge of the guards replied respectfully: "If you go back to the little master, there is only one person who picks the lotus, but the mood of the picky lotus is extremely unstable now, will the little master go in?" ”

Nodding, Ruyi said with some disapproval: "Little master, the slave maid feels that this palace maid's call is strange and infiltrating, or let's go back." ”

He Xi shook his head, patted Ruyi's hand comfortingly, turned around and pushed the door in, the light in the room was extremely dim, I don't know if Caihe himself had closed the curtains around him, and the tip of his nose could faintly smell the smell of stench, He Xi looked around, and the room was still full of screams, and at this time he could only hear the sound of his own breathing.

Suddenly, in the darkness, He Xi saw a pair of eyes full of horror and hatred, like a beast quickly rushing towards him, dust was raised in the air, He Xi couldn't help but squint her eyes slightly, she stood motionless, as if petrified.
