"Fifth brother and sister, you're back!"

As soon as Wu Wanyi took her seat, Princess An accosted her.

Princess Rui felt that Princess An was a little overly enthusiastic about Wu Wanyi, and she didn't even shy away from Concubine De's dislike for her. She rolled her eyes, then turned away from their conversation. Since Princess An was in a hurry to join in the excitement of Princess An, Princess Rui was also happy to see Princess An being angry.

"You've been gone for so long, I'm still worried about whether you're sick, and I'm about to send someone to find you." Princess An said with a little concern. Since Princess Yu has returned safely, it means that Concubine De Niangniang did not do anything to her, and Princess An doesn't mind that she may be implicated by talking to Princess Yun now.

"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine." Wu Wanyi smiled back, "Maybe I have a cold stomach this morning, and I feel a little uncomfortable." "Wu Wanyi almost didn't move her chopsticks at the palace banquet, so she couldn't talk about the dishes at the palace banquet that were not appetizing." Is this what happened, though? Seems to have heard a scream just now! ”

"No!" Although Princess An didn't know what was going on, she said in a hurry, "There was a very sharp scream coming from a distance, and I don't know what happened, my father has already ordered Father-in-law Gao to check the situation, I believe I will know the reason soon." ”

"Really?" Wu Wanyi replied thoughtfully, "But Concubine De has always managed the palace very well, and there should be no such mistakes at the palace banquet!" ”

Princess An was a little stunned for a while when she heard Wu Wanyi's words, is this Princess Yu on the same page as Concubine De? Between the words, he blamed the screaming on Concubine De's sadness.

"Ahem" Princess An smiled awkwardly, "There was a strange thing in the palace today, and during the banquet, the lady of the Xie Mansion also knew why, and suddenly disappeared." Princess An didn't dare to judge the rights and wrongs of Concubine De, so she quickly changed the topic, "My father has ordered Commander Lai to take the guards to find it, and I have been going for a long time, and now I haven't come back to restore my life." ”

"Oh?" Wu Wanyi's eyes blinked again, "Been there for a long time?" ”

"Hmm!" As long as what Wu Wanyi asked had nothing to do with Concubine De, Princess An was still willing to answer Wu Wanyi, "As soon as you left for a short while, Lord Xie found that Mrs. Xie was missing, and the emperor ordered Commander Lai to look for someone." ”

After hearing this, Wu Wanyi suddenly raised her head and looked around her.

"Princess Yu, what are you looking at?" Princess An was puzzled by Wu Wanyi's sudden action.

"No, I just think it's getting dark." Wu Wanyi said a little distractedly.

Princess An looked at the sun that had disappeared and tightened her cloak, "Yes, I'm afraid it's going to be a little colder." ”

"The second sister-in-law doesn't have to worry, just let the palace maid add a brazier." Wu Wanyi retracted her mind, no matter whether her conjecture was right or not, she had to wait for someone to come back and ask again. Thinking like this, Wu Wanyi's irritable heart suddenly calmed down. A sudden sense of security soothed all her uneasiness.

"Maybe we don't have to order the brazier," Princess An pointed to Lai Ming and Gao Gonggong, who were walking quickly, and their expressions looked very bad.

"Emperor Qiqi, a palace maid found Mrs. Xie's body in the wing room where the utensils were stored, and the whole wing room was very messy. And there was no one else at the scene, so I don't know who the murderer is! Gao Gonggong was the first to speak.

"What did you find?" The emperor frowned angrily and glared at Concubine De.

"The body of the lady was found!" Grandpa Gao said it repeatedly. But Lai Ming lowered his head in shame, "Dereliction of duty, please punish the emperor." ”

"Madame!" Master Xie couldn't believe what he heard, "Madam! He knelt down to the emperor with a somewhat collapsed face, "Your Majesty, you must be the master of Weichen!" ”

The civil and military officials and family members present were a little panicked when they heard this, how could Mrs. Xie say that it was gone in the palace during the New Year!

"Xie Aiqing get up quickly, I will definitely find out about this matter." The emperor stood up, "I also want to know who has the audacity to kill the wife of the court under my nose and before such a big day as bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new." The ministers present went to the scene with me to check the situation, and the other family members went to the side hall to rest first, waiting for this matter to be settled before they could leave the palace! ”

The princes and ministers all followed the emperor to the scene of Mrs. Xie's body, and Concubine De stayed behind to arrange these female dependents.

"What's going on!" When Concubine De arranged for the female dependents, she looked at Wu Wanyi from a distance and sat in the side hall with a few princesses with her maids. "Didn't you say that she and her maids were all locked up in the wings? Why didn't the murderer be found when Gao Gonggong reported just now! How did they get back? Concubine De asked Jinxiu sharply.

"If you go back to your mother, this slave really doesn't know." Jinxiu couldn't believe her eyes when she saw Wu Wanyi entering the table, "The slave and maid pushed her and her maid into the wing room with their own hands, and locked it." Although the slave maid was pestered by Yan Wangye's guards in the end and had no way to leave early, the doors and windows were locked, and her maid did not know martial arts, so it was impossible to escape. ”

"Impossible? So how did she sit there intact! Concubine De was very girly, "It's really useless!" "I have been warned by the emperor once for this matter, but the subordinates have not done this well.

Jinxiu lowered her head, "It's the slave who didn't handle this well." ”

"Okay," after all, she is her most trusted maid, Concubine De is angry, and her anger has almost disappeared, and the most important thing now is to find a murderer who killed Mrs. Xie, "Is there something left at the scene of Princess Yu?" ”

"According to the palace maid who found Mrs. Xie's body, there was nothing left at the scene." Jinxiu shook her head, "Niangniang, the slave maid has a bold idea, this matter, there may be someone behind the help of Princess Yun" After all, the time when Liufeng appeared was too coincidental, and he had been pestering himself, which had to make Jinxiu think more.

"Hmph, you don't need to say that this palace knows!" Concubine De's anger came up all of a sudden, "I was really fascinated by the ghost, this son of evil who turned his elbow outward had stiffened wings, and he dared to spoil his mother's good deeds!" ”

"Niangniang, do you want to call Lord Yan to discuss how to deal with this matter!" Jinxiu was a little uneasy, "Listening to the emperor's tone, if you don't find the murderer today, this banquet won't be dispersed!" ”

"The aftermath of this matter can't be mixed with King Yan!" The emperor knows better than anyone else that if he wants to use King Yan to clear his suspicion of being in this matter, even if the emperor didn't plan to govern himself at the beginning, he will punish himself heavily in the end.
