Chapter 264: Getting Along in the Palace (3)
Ruyi nodded, whispered something in He Xi's ear, He Xi said in surprise: "It's her?" β
Ruyi said: "The slave didn't expect it, but the little eunuch did say that these two people were originally from Luhua Palace, and I heard that they provoked Concubine Hui Niangniang and were sent back." Later, due to the lack of people around the eldest prince, he was transferred to our palace. β
He Xi said: "Offended Lan Xin and was just sent back to the Internal Affairs Office?" It's really not her character, how is Concubine Hui's recent health? β
Ruyi said: "I heard that the fetal image has been unstable, and Your Majesty has asked the imperial doctor to guard it all day, for fear that there will be a case." β
He Xi said: "Then we should also visit Luhua Palace to show our concern." β
At this time, in the Luhua Palace, two slender figures sat opposite each other, their faces full of confusion and doubts, and said wonderfully: "Niangniang, now that things are getting bigger and bigger, even Dali Siqing is involved, will it-"
Lan Xin glared at her fiercely and said, "When choosing someone at that time, how did you choose a person with such an identity?" Also, didn't the main palace tell you to hide the body in your own palace? How did you hide in the Queen's Palace? Also sunk the flower pond? β
There was a fear that could not be concealed in the special expression: "Concubine Hui, the concubine chose someone at that time, and she only knew that she was the queen's eyeliner, thinking that she could remove a thorn in her eye, but she never thought that she was a craftsman. As forβ"
Her voice trembled, choked up, and continued: "As for why the corpse appeared in the queen's palace, the concubine really doesn't know, the Praetorian Guards didn't find the corpse that night, and the concubine still wondered, and then His Royal Highness King Xian was in charge of the investigation and visit, and the concubine was afraid of revealing her feet, so she could only say that she was sick, who knows, and then something like this happened." β
She has relatives in her heart, and even some of her preambles and afterwords, obviously flustered to the extreme.
Concubine Hui said: "Could it be that there is a third person among them who knows?" β
Shu Miao only felt a chill in her back, she swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said cautiously: "Niangniang, you say, is there really a ghost-"
Lan Xin snorted coldly disappreciatively: "There are ghosts? The ghost shadow is also Oh, we are looking for someone to do it, besides, if there is really a ghost in this world, I am afraid that the dear queen sister of this palace will not live to this time. However, this palace is also strange, such a threat, the queen's fetus has not the slightest problem. β
Shu Miao said: "The concubine heard that the queen was angry because of Qiao'er's matter, and this time, Your Majesty is very concerned, and even with the investigation, Xi Guiren has been appointed, and with such maintenance, it seems that our plan is going to fail." β
Lan Xin smiled and said, "Failed? Don't you know that when the Internal Affairs Office filled up the pond, a lot of corpses were dug up, all of them were palace maids and eunuchs, and I don't know if the child in her womb will be retributed for killing innocents like this. β
Shu Miao immediately flattered: "That is, according to the concubines, in the entire palace, the prince in the womb of the mother is the most blessed." β
Lan Xin was satisfied, and while she was gossiping, she heard a note from Linglong outside the door, she lazily opened it, her expression was shocked, obviously shocked by the content of the letter, it took her a long time to come back to her senses and said: "Linglong, find a way to send the letter to the past, let her come to see me tonight." β
Linglong nodded and went out, and not long after she walked out, she saw He Xi coming over in a sedan chair with Ruyi.
She waited respectfully and asked for an answer: "Slave and maid, see Little Master Xi." β
He Xi helped her and said, "Why are you standing here?" You are the big palace maid next to Concubine Hui, why don't you serve by your mother's side? β
Linglong's eyes turned slightly: "Back to the little master, our mother is a little more comfortable today, and the imperial doctor also said that it is not as dangerous as before. β
He Xi sighed and said, "Mrs. Miao, it seems that Mrs. Miao has also come out of the shadow of that incident." β
Linglong smiled perfunctorily, leading He Xi to go inside, Lan Xin saw He Xi, her expression was different from the disdain and arrogance of the past, but with a little exploration and suspicion, very strange, although He Xi was aware, but did not show her voice, she invited the salute and said: "The concubine heard that Concubine Hui's health is getting better, so I came to take a look." I don't know, but I bothered the gossip between Niangniang and Mrs. Miao? β
Shu Miao's expression was a little flustered and said: "Where is the Xi noble, the concubine is also here to visit." β
Seeing her flustered, He Xi said with some puzzlement: "What's wrong with Mrs. Miao?" β
Lan Xin was secretly annoyed in her heart and said, "She is timid, and she is still thinking about the previous things. Shu Miao hurriedly said: "Yes, the concubine is still a little scared when she thinks of what happened before. β
He Xi said, "Could it be that Mrs. Miao will also be afraid?" β
Su Miao looked stunned, but Lan Xin sat up straight, her face sank a little and said, "What do you mean?" β
He Xi looked at the two of them, smiled and said: "The concubine has no other meaning, but now they all suspect that someone has murdered, not some ghostly theory, since it was deliberately done by someone, it is naturally not more than scared, and when Dali Siqing finds out the real murderer, everything will fall into place, right?" β
Her voice was ominous, and she meant something, she looked at Concubine Hui, and then looked at He Xi only to feel that her hands were wet, obviously soaked in cold sweat, she unconsciously shrunk her weak shoulders, and said tremblingly: "Yes, there is nothing to be afraid of, nothing to be afraid of." β
He Xi stood up and smiled: "However, during the period of the concubine's investigation, I found some interesting things, I wonder if Concubine Hui and Mrs. He Miao are interested in knowing?" β
Concubine Hui said coldly: "What's the matter?" β
He Xi said lightly: "The ghost shadow has only walked in the palace of Mrs. Miao and Concubine Hui, except for the palace of the two, it has never appeared in the rest of the places, but these two places, whether it is Linglong or Chuntao, are the big palace maids around the two, it is inevitable that there are some strangeness, the concubine followed this clue and found an interesting thing, that is, the guards who patrolled that night were walking to the road between the two palaces, and Mrs. Miao said, looking at the ghost shadow towards the Luhua Palace, but the concubine interrogated, No one saw it, and later I heard that the queen mother also saw it with her own eyes, but at that time, both Luhua Palace and Yiyue Palace were brightly lit, and there were many palace people and doctors who came and went, and no one saw it, so there was only one possibility, that is, the so-called ghost, which was deliberately done by someone, and that person was hiding in the palace of the two. β
Concubine Hui got up angrily and said, "He Xi! You don't want to spew blood, you say that, but there is evidence? β
He Xi said: "Why should Concubine Hui be angry? Regardless of whether the concubine has evidence or not, if it is really like what the concubine said, then there will definitely be clues, at least the white clothes worn by the ghost, if the palace is really searched, it can still be found, right? β
Lan Xin's fingers curled up in her long sleeves and trembled unconsciously, and she suddenly smiled and said, "Really? If the Xi nobles want to check, just come and check, but if the Xi nobles are not afraid of the check, don't be found out about any side things-"
He Xi was already a little sure in her heart, she got up indifferently and said: "Concubine Hui is really joking, the concubine is no longer taking over this matter, this matter is very important, the queen mother has a fetal gas for this matter, and His Majesty is very tired of others taking the affairs of the first queen to plan, one is not careful, it is a catastrophe, since the concubine threw away this hot potato, she didn't think about picking it up again." Well, the concubine saw that Concubine Hui's health was much better, so she took her leave first. β
After that, she really got up and went inside, leaving behind an unknown wonder.
Seeing He Xi's figure gradually moving away, Shu Miao said in a panic: "Niangniang, the big thing is not good, it seems that she already knows about us, how is this good?" β
Lan Xin was worried from the beginning, but now she is calm, she said calmly: "Don't worry, she won't say anything." β
Shu Miao wanted to ask again, but saw Dao Lanxin wave her hand and said: "This matter, you don't care about it anymore, this palace has its own plans, by the way, later, you let people quietly send the clothes placed in your place to the palace, and the palace will arrange someone to dispose of it, and now the eyes of the palace are in the queen's palace, and no one will notice us." β
Shu Miao's heart became more and more uneasy, and she always felt as if something had to happen, but now she really had no other way but to rely on Lan Xin, so she could only answer and get up to say goodbye.
Returning to Lingxiu Palace, He Xi dismissed all the people around him, leaving only Ruyi, and ordered: "You come to keep vigil tonight, and then send someone to watch carefully near Luhua Palace, if you see someone sneaky, don't make a noise first, if someone burns something, it will already be said that open flames are prohibited at night in the palace, and people will be arrested." β
Ruyi nodded and said, "Little master, there is one thing that the slave maid has always felt uneasy in her heart. β
He Xi glanced at her and said, "What's wrong with you?" β
Ruyi said: "Little master, what you said to the slave and maid today, the slave and maid always felt that someone was eavesdropping, but she couldn't find any suspicious person, so she felt that the whole Lingxiu Palace was full of eyes, looking at the slave and maid behind her back." Slave maidβ"
He Xi knew that she knew about it suddenly, and at the same time, it was difficult to accept it, and at the same time, she felt that she would be discovered, and she was a little frightened.
Then he soothed: "But didn't you also say that this palace is full of eyes?" In this case, you can't be so frightened and uneasy, so that people can see, and it is really confirmed that we have secrets, and as for those eyes, we still know where they are, it's better than not knowing where they are, isn't it? β
Ruyi knew that what He Xi said was reasonable, so he took a deep breath and nodded.
