"It's me." Concubine Lan happily admitted, and took the initiative to solve Wei Qingqing's doubts, "Are you curious why I appeared here late at night?" I'm here to confirm one thing. ”

"What?" Wei Qingqing asked.

Concubine Lan didn't answer the question, "Miss Wei, do you believe what the little palace maid named Ah Li said?" ”

Wei Qingqing gave the answer succinctly, "Believe!" ”

Lan Concubine said: "I believe it too. ”

"You believe it too?" Concubine Lan's answer was once again unexpected by Wei Qingqing, making Wei Qingqing's gaze at her gradually become a little meaningful, "You mean you believe that the ghost killed Jin Ling?" ”

"Naturally, it's not a ghost killer, and it's not that Yu Yao didn't die to take revenge," Concubine Lan is indeed an insider, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she overturned some of Wei Qingqing's speculations, "Yu Yao was killed in battle a year ago, and I personally went to collect her corpse for her, and I personally burned her body to ashes, and asked someone to send her ashes back to her hometown for burial." ”

"Yu Yao's is indeed dead, so it can't be her who committed the murder." Concubine Lan seemed to be intent on testing Wei Qingqing, and she threw a question out halfway through her words, "Miss Wei, if Yuyao will never resurrect and kill, then who is the ghost in Ah Li's mouth most likely?" ”

"Most likely someone who looks similar to Yu Yao! In other words, the murderer is likely to be Yu Yao's close relative, but I have already checked, and Yu Yao has no relatives alive! Wei Qingqing replied without thinking, and it was not unfounded for her to make such an inference - since Ah Li could recognize the murderer as Yu Yao, it meant that the murderer deliberately dressed himself as Yu Yao.

And since the murderer can be dressed up so much, it is likely that his original appearance is very similar to Yu Yao!

Concubine Lan looked at Wei Qingqing with an approving face, and slowly revealed the answer, "There is one person who is easiest to dress up as Yu Yao, and she is Yu Yao's own sister Su Yi!" ”

Concubine Lan told Wei Qingqing that Yuyao had an older sister named "Suyi" who was five years older than her, and both of them had inherited their mother's appearance, so they looked seven or eight points similar.

Su Yi and Yu Yao's parents died early, and the two sisters have been dependent on each other since childhood, and Yu Yao can be said to have been brought up by Su Yi.

All the money earned by Su Yi in the palace was sent outside the palace to Yu Yao to learn embroidery, Yu Yao was very smart and diligent, and soon learned the most difficult double-sided embroidery.

In order to be able to see her sister from time to time, she secretly carried her sister behind her back to participate in the selection of embroidery girls in the palace, and after being selected, she insisted on entering the palace to accompany her sister despite her sister's opposition.

Concubine Lan sighed softly when she said this, and said, "Their sisters' feelings are so deep, if Yu Yao dies in vain, how can Su Yi not avenge her?" ”

Concubine Lan told Wei Qingqing that she guessed that Jin Ling was likely to be related to Yu Yao's death, and it was even likely that she was the one who killed Yu Yao a year ago, so after Su Yi found out the truth, she would pretend to be Yu Yao's ghost and ask Jin Ling for her life.

When Wei Qingqing heard this, he quickly deduced the whole story - Su Yi and Yu Yao originally looked seven or eight points similar, if Su Yi deliberately learned how Yu Yao dressed, it would naturally be more similar, and he could easily scare Jin Ling into a panic, and obediently ran towards the place of death that Su Yi had chosen!

Wei Qingqing saw that Concubine Lan seemed to know all the inside information, and immediately asked after deducing the whole story: "Tell me where Suyi is hiding?" ”

"It's dead, Suyi is dead." Concubine Lan looked up at the green bamboo beside her and said in a quiet tone.

Wei Qingqing was so choked by this sentence that she almost broke her mouth and scolded!

She glared at Concubine Lan speechlessly, "Are you kidding me?" After talking for a long time, you want to tell me that a ghost dressed up as another ghost killed Jin Ling??! ”

"Someone has seen a ghost in plain clothes near Sileng Palace, but I don't believe that there are really ghosts in this world!" A look of confusion gradually appeared on Concubine Lan's face, "Actually, I don't know if Suyi is dead or not......

Concubine Lan told Wei Qingqing that her original name was Su Lan, and eight years ago, when she was not yet Concubine Lan, she was a small palace maid who served Concubine Xiao Guifei on an errand with Su Yi in Zhongcui Palace.

The two of them are like sisters, working together on errands during the day and sleeping on a quilt at night, talking and knowing everything about each other.

She is good at combing her hair and putting on makeup, and she is the palace maid who is responsible for combing Xiao Guifei's hair and makeup;

Su Yi has a pair of skillful hands, very good at activating muscles and bones for others, whenever Xiao Guifei feels tired, Su Yi will use her own skillful hands to press and massage for Xiao Guifei to help Xiao Guifei activate her muscles and bones and eliminate fatigue.

Later, Concubine Xiao Guifei died, and they were assigned to different places to work on errands, but their relationship was still very good...... Until Suyi's accident.

Concubine Lan told Wei Qingqing that Su Yi was burned alive one night eight years ago - it was a fire that started in Su Yi's bedroom, and the fire was so fierce that it swallowed everything in an instant, including Su Yi who was sleeping!

When the palace people carried water to extinguish the fire, Suyi had been burned beyond recognition, and it was no longer possible to identify her according to her face, but only vaguely through her clothes.

Concubine Lan suddenly changed her words as she spoke, and said, "I actually always suspected that Su Yi was not burned to death!" But over the years, I have not been able to find any clues related to her, and I have even been to the Silang Palace, where her 'ghost' has appeared, several times, but it has always been empty and there is no trace of human habitation! ”

Wei Qingqing perked up when she heard this, "It's okay, you can talk about your inference, and why you suspect that Su Yi is not dead?" ”

Concubine Lan told Wei Qingqing about her speculation, "Su Yi experienced a water walk in her early years, and she almost died that time, which made her feel palpitations and fear afterwards!" Later, she was afraid that she would encounter water again, so she kept putting a tank of water in front of her bed, ready to encounter water at any time! ”

"That tank of water may not be enough to extinguish the fire, but it is enough for her to escape by soaking the quilt and draping it over her body!" Concubine Lan was slightly excited when she said this, "And since she experienced a water walk, Su Yi has been sleeping very lightly, it makes no sense that the house is burning up, she hasn't woken up for a long time, and she was finally burned alive!" ”

"Because there was only one person sleeping in the house at that time, as soon as they found the body that had been burned beyond recognition, everyone thought it was Suyi......"

Concubine Lan choked up slightly when she said this, and Wei Qingqing took over the conversation and finished the inference for her, "Since the corpse has been burned beyond recognition, it is not impossible to say that she is not plain, after all, her facial features have been burned so hard that she can't see clearly!" ”

"That's right! I think the same way, that's why I always suspect that Suyi wasn't burned to death at all! Lan Concubine said and pointed to the green bamboo in front of her, and said the purpose of her night exploration of the bamboo forest, "Su Yi Ji has a unique habit - carving the word 'Zheng' on the bamboo, I came to the bamboo forest late at night, just to find out if the new bamboo is still engraved with the right word!" ”
