"Yes. Weichen has been in the Criminal Department for many years, and his subordinates are even more outstanding and meticulous, and they will never make mistakes. Zhao Yuan said, Cheng Qian's hand was forced, and the three-inch-long small feather arrow "snapped" into two, leaving a scar on his thumb. The feather arrow landed, and on Cheng Qian's thumb, blood also gurgled out.

"Your Majesty!" Zhao Yuan kowtowed in fear: "The dragon body of the emperor is important." When Xiao Lizi saw it, he was also a little surprised, and hurriedly went to find gold sore medicine for him.

Zhao Yuan slowly raised his head: "...... Weichen has one more thing, I don't know whether to talk about it or not. ”

"There's nothing I can't stand with, but you say it's okay."

"Wei Chen was outside the Qianzheng Hall before, and he had also seen Concubine Wen a few times from afar. Concubine Wen is tall and tall, and the female corpse examined by Weichen is short, not like Concubine Wen, and ..... Concubine Wen's palace maid Bing'er also disappeared. ”

"What?" Isn't she dead? Cheng Qian had a glimmer of hope in his heart, and said to Zhao Yuan: "Immediately follow me to the Criminal Department, and I will personally inspect it." ”

"The emperor's ......" Zhao Yuan hesitated, the emperor's ninety-five honor, went to the criminal department to personally check how to make it: "Weichen is just inferring, but he is not sure, the emperor's ninety-five honor, it is better not to get involved in the criminal department." ”

However, Cheng Qian didn't speak, only frowned and stared at Zhao Yuan who was kneeling on the ground, Zhao Yuan raised his head, looked at Cheng Qian's firm gaze, and knew that it was useless to oppose, so he stopped saying anything against it.

Cheng Qian walked quickly, and when he arrived in front of the criminal department, the guards guarding the door were shocked, and they all knelt down and saluted: "See the emperor." ”

Cheng Qian didn't understand, asked the room where the female corpse was, walked in, took a deep breath, and lifted the white cloth covering the female corpse.

At this time, the fragments of the burned clothes on the woman's body had been taken off, and the people from the criminal department changed her into white clothes.

Seeing this miserable corpse again, Cheng Qian's heart still tightened, and his heart hurt for no reason.

However, he can't relax, he has more important things to do, that is, to identify the deceased, whether it is Su Wenmei or not. His face was solemn, suppressing the strong discomfort in his heart, and he looked at the female corpse lying on the bed.

Her face and upper body had been burned beyond recognition, and the only jewelry on her body was probably the blackened, crumbling earring on her right ear.

"Your Majesty, if you have anything to do, Weichen will help you do it." Zhao Yuan said on the side, Cheng Qian looked at the female corpse intently and did not speak.

Cheng Qian's eyes fell on the burnt earrings - the style of the earrings was minimalist. Although it was charred black, it was vaguely visible that it was only made of two silver rings the size of little fingertips, and a glass jade inlaid underneath.

Cheng Qian remembered that he had rewarded Jinyun Palace with a lot of jewelry and clothes in the past, but there was no such thing, and Su Wenmei's earrings in the past were atmospheric and simple, and this earring was definitely not the style she liked.

Moreover, after Su Wenmei fell out of favor, Cheng Qian secretly visited her a few times, she was dressed in plain clothes, and the jewelry on her body was minimalist, where did she wear any earrings?

There was a gleam in his eyes, and he quickly took off the earring: "Water." ”

"Your Majesty, this, I can't help it, I can't help it......" The earrings were still stained with the flesh of some female corpses, and Zhao Yuan persuaded him.

Cheng Qian ignored him, Xiao Lizi brought water and took a square handkerchief. Cheng Qian dipped the earrings into the water and wiped them with a square handkerchief. After a while, a simple earring was revealed.

This must not be her favorite earring style! He intuitively felt that this female corpse must not be Su Wenmei!

So where will she go if she is alive? Qian Hui befriended her, did she go to Zhongxiu Palace? Or was she so disappointed in herself that she left the palace?

Cheng Qian suddenly remembered that when Su Wenmei was favored, he had given her the token - the grounding period has passed, this token is valid, and she can now come and go freely.

"Quickly summon the guards on duty at the noon gate and the palace gate this afternoon, and let him come to the Qianzheng Hall to see me." Cheng Qian said, put the earrings aside, wiped his hands with the clean square handkerchief handed by Xiao Lizi, walked out of the torture room, and walked quickly towards Zhong Xiu Palace.

Zhongxiu Palace was remote, Cheng Qian thought that the sedan chair was too slow, so he walked all the way quickly and walked a long way before he arrived at Zhongxiu Palace. As soon as he entered the palace gate, the palace maids wanted to pay a visit, so he made a silent gesture.

When Cheng Qian arrived outside the dormitory of Zhongxiu Palace, he saw Qian Hui copying something in the dim light. He didn't say a word, and walked in softly. Qian Hui looked up and saw that he was a little surprised, but he also calmed down, knelt down and saluted him: "The concubine is the emperor." ”

"Let's be flat." Cheng Qian said, picking up the scripture she had copied: "What you copied is the Myoho-renge-kyo Sutra?" ”

"Yes. The concubine thought that Concubine Wen Niangniang died tragically in Jinyun Palace, and she was terrified. Thinking about transcribing some Buddhist scriptures, can I help my mother relieve some pain. If there is an afterlife, the concubine hopes that she will be safe and happy, and that she will have no worries about food and clothing. ”

"If a person is gone, there is no need to copy more Buddhist scriptures." Cheng Qian was infected by Qian Hui's emotions: "I regret that when she was by my side, she didn't treat her a little better, a little better. ”

The hall was silent, and no one spoke for a long time. After a long time, Cheng Qian spoke again, breaking the silence.

"Speaking of which, I haven't been to your Zhongxiu Palace for a long time, are you okay?" Cheng Qian said, his eyes constantly glancing at the huge curtain in the dormitory - there seemed to be a figure shaking in the curtain.

"The concubine is very good. The emperor ......" Qian Hui noticed his gaze and followed his gaze towards the curtain. Cheng Qian's heart was surging, and he took a step ahead of her and lifted the curtain.

A frightened maid hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty! Slaves and maids see the emperor, and the emperor forgives sins. ”

Cheng Qian was a little disappointed, and said unhappily, "What are you doing here?" ”

"The slave maid was ordered to clean the dormitory of Concubine Hui's mother, but she didn't know that the emperor was coming, so she collided with the emperor, and I hope the emperor will forgive her sins." The palace maid knelt on the ground and kowtowed, very nervous.

"That's it." Cheng Qian waved his hand: "I came uninvited, I didn't report it, and I can't complain about you." ”

He walked out of Zhongxiu Palace in disappointment and walked briskly in the direction of the Qianzheng Palace, at this time the guards of the Noon Gate and the Lingong Gate should have arrived.

"See the Emperor." Four guards saluted.

"I summoned you here, just to ask, did Concubine Wen go out of the palace this afternoon?"

One of the guards looked up at him and lowered his head again: "Your Majesty, the servants are on duty outside the main gate, and they have always only recognized tokens and not people, not to mention that there are many ladies in the palace, and they rarely leave the palace. Therefore, the minions are not very sure which one is Concubine Wen. ”

There are two doors out of the palace, the front door is the noon door, and the side door is near the palace gate.

"Where are you a guard?" Cheng Qian asked.

"Back to the emperor, the slave is at the palace gate." The guard replied.

"And you say, did anyone go out of the palace with the token of the Qianzheng Hall this afternoon?" Only after the mothers of each palace report their request to leave the palace, will the virtuous concubines issue the exit tokens of each palace.

And all the princes and ministers who have reached the rank have their own tokens for entering and exiting. A few days ago, Su Wenmei went in and out of the palace, and she used Gu's house. However, for the sake of the Gu family, Cheng Qian has taken it back and returned it to the eldest sister of the Gu family.

The token of the Qianzheng Hall is the most effective, and it will not be questioned by the guards when entering and leaving the palace.

"Your Majesty." One of the guards was honestly afraid, but he didn't dare to deceive, and said nervously, "There is such one." At that time, she was dressed plainly, cold as frost, and she didn't look like a lady in the palace. Because he was holding the token of the Qianzheng Palace, the slave didn't dare to ask more, so he ...... And he let it go. ”

Cheng Qian's hands were clenched into fists, and his muscles flared up, and he realized that the woman who left the palace with the token of the Qianzheng Hall was Su Wenmei. He took away the piles of folds, took out a few portraits of Su Wenmei, and spread out two of the positive portraits: "Quickly pass the order!" Seal the city gates early today! ”

"Yes!" Several guards replied and exited the main hall.

"Zhao Yuan, although you are a member of the Criminal Department, you have always been reliable in your work, only if you go to find Concubine Wen, I can rest assured, are you willing to receive your life?" Cheng Qian picked up the portrait.

"Weichen is loved by the emperor, and he should do his best." Zhao Yuan said, holding his hands high.

Cheng Qian handed him the portrait of the woman in his hand: "Go quickly, I am waiting for your good news." ”

Outside the city gate, as soon as the sky darkened, the night market opened, and all kinds of cries and sales were endless, and it was very lively. A carriage was galloping in the direction of the city gates, under the cover of night.

"Mother." Bing'er took out a small bottle of gold sore medicine from her baggage, and felt that she was calling it wrong, and when she looked up, she saw Su Wenmei staring at her intently.

"Miss." Bing'er changed her words and said, "Miss, it's already far away from the palace at this time, so I think it should be safe." You should first rub the wound with medicine. ”

Su Wenmei reacted, and there was a knife cut on her arm that was cut by the assassin. The escape was too tense, and if Bing'er didn't say it, she would forget it. She lifted the sleeve of her shirt, only to see that the wound had already scabbed.

"That's it, it's all scabbed, so don't rub the medicine." As she spoke, she was about to lower her sleeves.

"Miss." Bing'er stopped her: "Slave maid come to help you." ”

Bing'er took her hand, dipped her handkerchief in some wet gold sore ointment, wiped off the blood stains around the wound, and applied some medicine to her before bandaging the wound with a handkerchief.

"Bang!" At this time, the sedan chair somehow shook violently.

At the crossroads, the man standing on the long street looked at the large mud stains stained on his ice-blue robe, and his face was full of displeasure. He took one of his retinues, walked a few steps briskly to the stable carriage, and glared angrily at the coachman on the sedan chair: "You don't have long eyes?!" ”

It turned out that the carriage was in a hurry, and the groom could not see the puddles on the ground in the night. The carriage passed by, splashing mud stains on the young man's robe. The temporary hired groom was a real man, and when he saw that the muddy water under the carriage splashed people, he did not run, and stopped the carriage in a hurry.

The man was also seventeen or eighteen years old, with picturesque eyebrows and an unruly look between his eyebrows. He wears a jade crown on his head, and his ice blue robe has a delicate and soft texture, which is worth a lot at a glance.
