Chapter 25: The Death of Youyue

Concubine Xiang was worried before, but after learning the news, she was overjoyed. She knew in her heart that since the emperor kept the selection of the crown prince secret, then this prince must not be Hongye, and if it was the emperor, there was no need to do this. Looking at the harem, Emperor Yi's concubine has only five qualifications, Zhen Guifei has no children, the third elder brother was born to a slave, and the emperor rarely cares about him, so there is only her Mian'er left, Concubine Tong's Hongday, in terms of identity, she and Orange Creek are on an equal footing, and in terms of elder and younger, then it is certain that the position of this prince is her Mian'er. Concubine Xiang thought about it and laughed out loud.

Xiaobi beside her didn't know what was going on, "Niangniang, who are you?" ”

"Of course it's fun! Haha......"

Xiaobi didn't know why Niangniang was happy, so she could only echo the happiness.

Luo promised to also like children very much, since the little brother was born, she came to Chuxiu Palace every day to play with the little brother, of course, this can not avoid meeting the emperor, the emperor saw Orange Creek and Luo promised to be so good, and it was impossible to avoid loving the house and Wu, and the time for Luo to agree to it also increased.

"Sister, if I can give birth to such a cute little brother one day, then I will wake up laughing when I fall asleep." Youyue grimaced, making Hongtian giggle with laughter.

"Mother, the cake is ready." Yu Lan came in with a large plate of cakes and placed them on the table in the hall.

You Yue looked at it, "Wow! What is this? I've never seen it before, it must be delicious. She picked up one piece and stuffed it into her mouth, gobbling down two pieces, "It's delicious." She wiped her mouth and praised it.

"If my sister likes it, let Yu Lan put some back for you, in fact, it's just made of eggs and flour, see what makes you hungry."

"Good...... Yu Landuo decorate! Luo Xin carried the cake packed by Yu Lan and followed Youyue back to the Moon Pavilion.

As soon as Youyue returned to the Tingyue Pavilion, she couldn't wait to open the cake and eat it, and handed it to Luo Xin beside her, "Xin'er, you can have a piece too!" Super tasty, fluffy and soft. ”

Luo Xin took the cake, "Thank you for agreeing." She began to eat bite by bite, and as she ate and ate, she felt as if she had eaten something, "Ah! "When I took it out, it was a note." Promise, what do you think this is? Luo Xin handed the note to Youyue.

The note read, "Tonight, go alone, south of the imperial garden, gazebo for a while" You Yue read according to the words on the note.

"Promise, what does that mean?" Luo Xin asked a little puzzled.

Youyue thought about it, could it be that Sister Tong had something to discuss with me, "Xin'er, what time is it?" ”

"It's just past the end of the day, and now should be the time of the sea."

"You go to sleep first! I've got something to do and I'll be back soon. You Yue put down the note in her hand, took off the cloak from the hanger, and hurriedly walked out.

"Promise, Xin'er will accompany you!" Luo Xin picked up a lantern and chased him to the door.

"Tell you no, didn't you see Sister Tong write it, let me go alone? Hurry back to sleep. Youyue put on a hooded cloak, snatched the lamp from her hand, and hurried towards the Imperial Garden.

Now that it is winter, Youyue is sitting alone in the pavilion, it should be a little cold, she pulled her hat, wrapped herself in a cloak, and curled up there, "Why hasn't my sister come yet?" She moved a place, found a pillar to lean onto, and thought about it for a while.

Suddenly, a person came out from behind, holding a rope in her hand, You Yue didn't notice it, the person gently put the rope into her neck, and began to pull it back, she woke up, struggled desperately, wanted to call for help, but couldn't call out, she grabbed the rope with her left hand, grabbed it back with her right hand, and the person's hand was caught and bleeding.

The pain made the man a little angry, and she pushed harder and harder, and Youyue's foot kicked a few times in a row, and then she stopped struggling. The man probed Youyue's pulse to confirm that he was out of breath, then let go, pulled the hat on his cloak, looked left and right, and left in a hurry.

Early the next morning, Luo Xin woke up and went to Youyue's room to check, and saw that Youyue hadn't come back yet, so she was in a hurry, grabbed the note on the table, "Yuyuan South, Yuyuan Nan......" while chattering, while looking for Yuyuan.

The palace maid who swept in the morning found Youyue's corpse and notified the emperor, and when Luo Xin arrived, the emperor was already at the scene, Luo Xin saw Youyue's corpse, rushed over, shook Youyue's corpse and cried, "Promise, promise, it's all Xin'er's fault, Xin'er should come with you, how can you let the slave and maid explain like a master!" Wake up, promise ......"

"Pull her away for me." The emperor pointed at Luo Xin and said, "Your master died here, what about you?" Where have you been? ”

"Ask the emperor to make the decision for his promise!" Luo Xin handed over the note taken from the cake, "This is taken out from the snack that Concubine Tong gave to the promise, and promised that Concubine Tong asked her to go alone, not to let the slave and maid follow, and woke up this morning, the slave and maid found that the promise had not returned, so they hurried to find it and asked the emperor to investigate." ”

Based on the one-sided words of the little slave, the emperor definitely didn't believe it, but he had to order someone to invite Orange Creek to come and confront him.

When Orange Creek arrived, he saw Youyue, who was talking and laughing yesterday, but now he has become a corpse, crying without tears. She squatted down and carefully examined Youyue's body for the eyes that might not be on Youyue's box.

"Did Concubine Tong promise to send snacks yesterday?"

"Yes! The emperor asked what to do? Orange Creek thought, isn't there anyone who wants to blame her again, is it because she is easy to bully? Framed again and again.

The emperor handed the note to her, "I found it from the dim sum, and I promised to come here to make an appointment here." ”

Orange Creek took it and looked at it, this word was very beautiful and familiar, and she suddenly remembered, this is too similar to Heber's word, could it be that the murderer wants to kill herself. "Your Majesty, the concubines have a way to catch the real murderer to prove their innocence."

Orange Creek said that it will take some time to find out the real murderer, let people find a room to settle Youyue first, everyone is dead, and she will not be allowed to be here all the time!

"Your Majesty, look." Orange Creek grabbed one of Youyue's hands and asked the emperor to look at it, "I promised that the nails were full of blood, indicating that the murderer was scratched by her, and the door of the night palace was locked, now we only need to find a person with a new injury on his right hand, that person must be the murderer, the palace concubines and palace maids and eunuchs, check one by one, and the minister who stayed in the palace last night and only left the palace today will also be checked, I believe that the murderer will be caught soon." ”

"Okay, do you hear that? According to Concubine Tong's intentions, no matter how high or low the identity is, all of them will be checked one by one, and no one will need to be missed, from now on, it is strictly forbidden for anyone to leave the palace. "The emperor ordered to go down.

The eunuchs led people to check one palace after another, and those concubines were not very happy at first, but later learned that it was a matter of human life, and they all cooperated one by one, and the entire Forbidden City began to boil.

When they found out about Concubine Su's bedroom, the father-in-law Chen made their intentions clear to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother agreed and inspected all the palace maids, leaving Concubine Su and her maid Su Kui. Gonggong Chen was hesitant and couldn't open his mouth for a long time, "What's the matter, you won't leave after the inspection?" Su Kui saw that Gonggong Chen had no intention of leaving, and hurriedly asked.

"Isn't it unfinished yet? The concubine and Miss Su Kui haven't checked yet? Chen Gonggong whispered.

"Be bold, concubine, you dare to doubt it." Su Kui rushed to hold the grievances for his master.

"Forget it, they also do what they do, but I really want to meet this, Concubine Tong who dares to do something, come, check!" The concubine asked Su Kui to help her up.

"Come on! Look! Do you have? Su Kui first pulled up his sleeves and let Gonggong Chen check it, "Gonggong Chen has to check carefully." Then he lifted the sleeves of the concubine's coat.

"Concubine, the slave has been offended, the slaves have finished checking, and they have to go to the next palace, and the slave has retired." Everyone evacuated the concubine's bedroom,

"What's going on today? Early in the morning, there was a lot of noise outside. Concubine Zhen asked Wen Wan, the maid beside her.

"Slave go out and check it out." Wen Wan opened the door, "Early in the morning, you don't go to work, what are you talking about here?" ”

"Wen Wan, don't you know? The new Luo who entered the palace not long ago promised to die, and now the emperor is ordering someone to find out the real murderer! A maid returned.

"Oh! How's it going? Did you catch the murderer? ”

"I don't know yet, I heard that Concubine Tong personally thought of a way to get rid of suspicion."

"What's the solution?" Wen Wan asked a little nervously.

"Well! I don't know, it's just that the eunuch who just raised the heart hall came to spread the word, asking everyone to put down what they were doing and waiting for them to investigate. ”

After hearing this, Wen Wan turned around and went back to the house, feeling a little scared.

"What's going on?" Concubine Zhen asked Wen Wan, who was unstoppable.

"They said they were looking for the murderer who promised Luo, Niangniang, you said it's strange, why do they say that Concubine Tong is helping to find the murderer, isn't Concubine Tong obviously dead?" Wen Wan was scared and confused.

"Stupid, you must have killed the wrong person." Concubine Zhen slapped the table with her hand, she was in a good mood just now, and her face was full of anger at this time.

"What to do, what to do, I'm afraid it's going to affect the mother." Wen Wan raised her hand to let Concubine Xiang see, "This is the one who was scratched by her when she killed that person last night, the slave and maid should die, the matter was not done, and the mother will be affected." ”

"Die, now it's your death, and you can't save the situation." Concubine Xiang also began to be anxious, and wandered straight in the room, "Go, no matter what method you use, you go and fight with those palace maids now, try to scratch their hands, go quickly." ”

"Alright, alright, I'll go." Wen Wan hurriedly ran out of the house, deliberately provoked trouble, and had a fight with the palace maid outside the door, and now they are all scarred, and their hands and faces are full of scratches.

After a while, Gonggong Chen came with the eunuchs, and when he checked it, Gonggong Chen was startled, all the maids in Qingxuan Hall were injured on their hands, "Take them all away and take them to the Heart Cultivation Palace." ”

The five palace maids knelt on the ground together, and the emperor stepped forward to take a look, "What's the matter, have they all just returned from the battlefield?" ”

"Back to the emperor, they didn't serve Concubine Zhen well, and the slaves and maids said a few words to them, and they started beating people." Wen Wan rushed to explain to the emperor.

"Concubine Zhen is amazing! There are all fierce generals under your hands, stretching out your hands. "When the emperor saw it, he was stunned! All of them have injuries on their hands, "Yingying, who do you think the murderer is?" ”
