Chapter 424: Skinning Murderer
When Concubine De walked in front of Chu Lixue, Chu Lixue picked up the wine jug and poured a pot of wine on Concubine De's body impartially. "Yo, Concubine De, I'm really sorry, go back to the palace and change your clothes."
Concubine De angrily left the Chonghua Hall and walked towards the Mengzhuang Palace, passing by the carp pond, Concubine De saw her own reflection in the water, "Ah...... How so? Didn't you say that your medicine works? How did it come to this? ”
"Niangniang, the slave maid told you, this medicine has a great nemesis is wine, not only did you drink a lot of wine just now, but the queen mother also deliberately sprinkled wine on you to let you leave......"
As soon as the words fell, Concubine De slapped Anu fiercely, raised her eyebrows and said, "Cheap maid, do you mean that the queen is right to remind the palace?" Wouldn't she be worried that Hongu would take everything away from her? ”
"Mother, Queen Mother, she ......," Anu whispered, covering her hot cheeks.
"The Queen? In your eyes, there is only the queen, there is no palace at all, Anu, don't forget, who fished you out of the laundry bureau, if you think your queen is the best, then the palace will send you to wash the toilet and wash it for a lifetime. Concubine De gritted her teeth and said.
Hearing this, where did Anu dare to say anything more, the work of the laundry bureau was already very hard, soaking her hands in cold water all day long, and she had to be angry with the housekeeper and the chief eunuch, so she didn't want to go back to that ghost place. As for the place to wash the toilet, then she is even more reluctant to go.
Thinking of this, Anu knelt on the ground, "Niangniang, in fact, every time you use this pill, it can only achieve a temporary effect, but you can't have beauty forever. ”
Hearing Anu mention the previous method again, Concubine De couldn't help but shake her head slightly, not that she didn't want to have beauty, but that Anu's method sounded really creepy. Now, the emperor and the queen are afraid that they have discovered her way to maintain her beauty, if she can really have beauty for a long time, even if she leaves the palace, she can still get the favor of a man with good conditions.
Thinking of this, Concubine De swallowed her saliva, "Anu, is your method really feasible?" ”
"Niangniang, the slave's method is indeed feasible, if Niangniang has concerns, you can find someone to do the experiment first, so that Niangniang can be more assured."
"Okay, you go and arrange it, you can take one person for an experiment first." Concubine De sneered.
This face-changing technique sounds really incredible, even the best imperial doctor in the palace has no way, but I didn't expect that an inconspicuous little palace maid in the laundry room has a way. I don't know if the appearance of this palace maid is Concubine De's luck or Concubine De's fate.
That night, Concubine De found an excuse to make a deep cut on the face of the little palace maid who was doing rough work in the palace with a hairpin, and then was discarded aside.
When the little palace maid curled up in the corner and sobbed aggrievedly, Anu stunned her with a bag of hemp boiling, and then pierced several acupuncture points with silver needles, and then two more eunuchs walked in carrying another palace maid.
Anu took out a sharp knife and stabbed the palace maid in the chest, and the palace maid died without a few struggles. Anu smiled wickedly and peeled off the skin on the palace maid's face with a knife, soaked it in a basin of water, and then used the same technique to peel off the skin of the palace maid whose face was scratched.
And Concubine De watched Anu like this, and after a while, a face was pasted on the face of another person.
What makes people feel even more amazing is that the palace maid, who was not outstanding, has become a little more beautiful after changing her face.
Anu applied a foul-smelling ointment to the interface of the maid's skin, and seven days later, when the maid woke up, there was no trace of the skin on her face. Slippery. Tender skin, blowing can be broken, such a scene, how can Concubine De not be moved.
"Niangniang, you see, Yizhu's face has recovered very well, right? Niangniang's skin is much better than that of this palace maid, and she will be even more beautiful in the future. Anu flattered.
After making up her mind, Concubine De decided to let Anu perform a face-swapping technique for her, as long as she could be beautiful, Concubine De was willing to pay any price.
Three days later, in the early morning, the eunuch in charge of checking the water storage of the palace well found a female corpse wearing the costume of a palace maid in the well on the east side of the imperial garden.
When the female corpse was recovered, many people fainted on the spot, the skin of the female corpse was peeled off, and the bloody face was already somewhat rotten. Immediately afterward, another body was found in the well.
The news soon spread throughout the palaces, and Ding Shuyi and others were even more worried that they would be the next victims, so they came to Fengluan Palace one after another to ask to see the queen.
"Queen Mother, strange things are happening frequently in the palace now, please ask Queen Mother to preside over the overall situation." Ding Shuyi knelt down and pleaded.
"Ding Shuyi, the body of this palace is so heavy now, the big and small affairs in the palace that can be handed over to Concubine De have already been handed over to her to do, you better go to her." Chu Lixue held her sore waist and said.
"Niangniang, Concubine De Niangniang has been in her palace for many days, and she refuses to see the concubines at all."
"Yes, Niangniang, no matter what Concubine De says, she can't compare with the queen mother, Niangniang is the blood of Tianfeng, and she will definitely be able to suppress the evil in the palace." Xu Shuyi echoed.
"Ask the queen to preside over the overall situation and suppress the evil in the palace." The rest of the beauties Paulin also chimed in.
Looking at the determined appearance of several people, Chu Lixue slowly stood up, "A few of you, please get up, at lunchtime, the palace will go to see the emperor, after all, there is a life lawsuit in the harem, and the emperor needs to send someone to investigate, and a few people don't have to worry, I don't dare to do it again for the time being." ”
"Mother's ......"
"If you are worried, there are two empty houses in the west wing of my Fengluan Palace, you can make do with it here at night." Chu Lixue said lightly.
Hearing this, where can those seven people take care of the fact that the west wing is the queen's maidservant, and now saving their lives is the most important thing, not to mention, they all know very well that the remnants of the snow and the wanyue around the queen are strong in martial arts, and if they live next to their rooms, they will be more at ease.
After Nangong Yihan went down to the early dynasty, Chu Lixue told Nangong Yihan what happened in the harem. Hearing that such a thing happened in the harem, Nangong Yihan also felt incredible.
What kind of hatred is this, you must peel off the other party's face, is it some kind of special ritual? If this is really a ritual, why are all the newly entered palace maids selected?
"Husband, these two palace maids were first pierced in the heart, and then their faces were peeled off, this is definitely not as simple as ordinary palace people." Chu Lixue frowned slightly.
"Well, I think so, too, but who do you think should be sent to investigate?" Nangong Yihan was a little embarrassed.
There are many people in the court who have this ability, but there are not many people who are suitable for investigating this case. This incident is in the harem, it is difficult to guarantee which concubine in the harem did it, and in the case of not finding the murderer, rashly selecting someone to investigate the case may cover up the murderer.
He has lived in this palace since he was a child, and he is also very clear about the methods of those women in the harem, so he will have a headache as the candidate who handles the case.
Chu Lixue lowered her head and pondered for a while, "Husband, I think Nangong Kai of King Ning's Mansion is very suitable for this, he is the imperial prince, and it is more convenient to enter and exit the palace, tomorrow I will let Xiyue enter the palace to stay for a few days, in this way, Nangong Kai is walking in the harem, it can be said that he wants to visit his sister." ”
"Nangong Kai? Why not Jiang Tian? Jiang Tian, as Xiyue's husband, didn't it make more sense to come to the palace to visit his wife? Nangong Yihan wondered.
"Jiang Tian is not bad, it's just that Jiang Tian entered the harem to visit his wife, which makes people suspicious, but if you want Xiyue to come to the palace to live, you have to wronged Jiang Tian to carry the black cauldron." Chu Lixue smiled lightly.
"Let Jiang Tian carry the black cauldron?" Nangong Yihan is so good that he can take a while.
This lady of his, there are always some strange ideas in this little head, but he has to admit that some of Chu Lixue's ideas are indeed feasible, and the results can be seen right away.
"Yes, let Xiyue and Jiang Tian pretend to have a conflict, and Xiyue doesn't want to go back to Ning Wangfu, so it's normal to come to the palace to live." Chu Lixue raised her eyebrows and said.
Immediately, Nangong Yihan understood what Chu Lixue was thinking, in this way, it is indeed more appropriate for Nangong Kai to investigate the case in the harem, one is his sister-in-law, and the other is his sister-in-law, such an identity is indeed difficult to suspect, and Nangong Kai has often entered the palace before.
Thinking of this, Nangong Yihan decided to follow Chu Lixue's idea, but before dawn, the emperor discussed the matter with Jiang Tian and others, and Xiyue had already come to the palace in a carriage early in the morning.
As soon as she entered the gate of Fengluan Palace, Xiyue lifted a jar of wine that had just come out of the ground and drank a few sips. "Xiyue, what are you doing, how can you drink like this, it's not that I'm afraid that I can't afford to drink, I'm afraid that you'll drink badly."
"Sister-in-law, you have to call the shots for me, Jiang Tian, that bastard, is really angry with me." Xiyue said indignantly.
"Jiang Tian? Why did he provoke our Xiyue County Lord? Chu Lixue smiled lightly.
Listening to the various wrongs of Jiang Tian falling on the number of moons, Chu Lixue's heart was really happy, she hadn't discussed acting with these two people, but she didn't expect that they would cooperate so well, it seems that she can save the trouble of talking about the script.
After Nangong Yihan went down to the court, he passed Nangong Kai into the imperial study to discuss the investigation of the case, and when Nangong Kai learned that the queen chose him as the candidate for the investigation, there was always an indescribable feeling in his heart.
