Everyone was shocked and had different expressions: the queen mother's eyes were oozing with surprise and a little bit of loss, the nine princesses were satisfied, the princess had doubts but did not show them, and Princess Di was completely stunned, while the nine princes were expressionless, and a smile seemed to appear at the corner of his mouth.

"Queen Mother, Ye Xun is clearly ashamed, and he knows that it is difficult to get rid of his blame, otherwise why did he commit suicide when the Queen Mother wanted to interrogate him." The ninth princess was a little sad, and explained to the queen mother with a crying voice.

Seeing that the ninth princess opened her mouth, the princess was not willing to be silent, Mu Zhi'er had already removed the Mu family's lack of a phoenix that might fly on the branches, what else did she care, "The concubine doesn't think so." "Defending the Queen Mother's blessing, "Although Ye Xun was caught by the concubine, it doesn't mean that he had a private meeting with Sister Zhi'er." ”

"As we all know, Sister Zhi'er wanted Ye Xun to be her personal guard, she must have known that she would provoke right and wrong, and how could she easily commit suicide by jumping into the river. Therefore, the concubine thought that ......"

Before Princess Shi's thoughts were finished, the Ninth Prince hurriedly intercepted her next words, "Queen Mother, seeing is believing and hearing is false, since Ye Xun committed suicide by leaving a book, can you take a look at the letter?" ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she felt quite reasonable, and turned her head and called, "Xin'an, what about the letter?" ”

Xin An hurriedly bowed down and replied, "Back to the Queen Mother's words, the letter is still in the cell, and as soon as the slave heard that Ye Xun had committed suicide, he hurried to tell him, and the slave will go to get it?" He turned around and walked forward.

"Hey, wait." The Ninth Prince didn't know what he muttered in Princess Di's ear, and Princess Di immediately stepped forward and proposed, "Can the Queen Mother allow Di'er to say a word?" ”

The Queen Mother fine-tuned her sitting posture, her eyes fell on Princess Di's body, and she was very curious, "Princess Di, let's talk about it." ”

Princess Di bowed her head, moved to the center of the Ninth Princess and Princess Shi, and replied respectfully, "Yes, Di Er thinks that Xin An's visit is too time-consuming, and the situation will inevitably change, so it is better to ask the Queen Mother to move to investigate and investigate in person, so as to make a convincing result for this matter." ”

"Nonsense, how can you let such a noble phoenix body of the Queen Mother go to such a lowly place. If the emperor knows, what should I do? The Ninth Princess immediately rebuked with a heavy face.

Princess Shi echoed, "What my sister said is that the Queen Mother must not go to that kind of filthy place." ”

The Queen Mother saw that the three of them were beginning to quarrel endlessly, and hurriedly spoke to control it, "The mourning family thinks that what Princess Di said is reasonable, and the criminals can enter the prison cell, how can the mourning family go." Buddhism has a saying: all beings are equal. You all go with the mourning family, seeing that the day of choosing a concubine for the emperor in ten days is approaching, it is better to settle the matter as soon as possible. Turning his eyes, his eyes fell on the Nine Princes, who were silent and settled on the side, and asked tentatively, "Old Jiu, what do you think?" ”

After the Queen Mother asked this, the Nine Princes straightened out a blue robe, stepped forward and replied, "The Queen Mother is dedicated to the emperor's sake, and the sons and daughters deeply feel your intentions, and Lao Jiu thinks that the Queen Mother is indeed going to go to the prison cell." ”

"Why?" The Queen Mother looked at the blue dress in front of her, and suddenly had the illusion that the past was like yesterday, and the past was the purpose.

"There are two reasons why this trip must go, although Mu Zhi'er has not started the draft, but after all, she is also a show girl participating in the election, not to mention Sheng Er's sister, if the Queen Mother personally handles this matter, it reflects the situation of the royal family attaching importance to show girls, on the other hand, it is also warning those show girls to abide by etiquette if they want to become concubines, and do not do anything beyond etiquette."

The Queen Mother nodded, agreeing with the statement of the Nine Princes, "This is the second." ”

"In the past two years, the Queen Mother has been having a headache in choosing a concubine for the emperor for the past two years, and she has mentioned several times that she has been pushed by the emperor for some reason, and now the Queen Mother can use this matter to put pressure on the emperor and make the emperor pay attention to this draft. Do you think that the emperor has always been filial to the queen mother, if the queen mother is in prison for the emperor this time, the emperor will definitely not be able to bear to feel guilty, then the draft is not ......"

The Queen Mother saw that the Ninth Prince made such an analysis, although it was a little improper, but after all, the harem could not be empty all the time, so she simply agreed and led a group of people to the cell.

The Queen Mother arrived. The Nine Princes arrived. The three Nine Princesses arrived.

After a notification, the guards who were originally cleaning up Ye Xun's body hurriedly greeted him, "The minions have seen the Queen Mother Chitose, the Prince Chitose, and the Princess Chitose." ”

"Let's all get up." The Queen Mother looked at Ye Xun's corpse, which was half-wrapped in a straw mat, and asked, "When did you die?" What about the letters he left behind? ”

The guard paused, and hurriedly took out the letter to answer, "Back to the Queen Mother, an hour ago, the servant was about to pick up Ye Xun, and as soon as he entered, he found that Ye Xun had committed suicide by taking poison. He also had a blood book in his hand. So saying, he presented the letter.

Xin An took the letter and forwarded it to the Queen Mother, who looked at the content on it and couldn't help sighing.

Ye Xun's family changed to protect his relatives and enter the palace as a servant, who expected that people would be cheap, and he was blamed and scolded by his master everywhere, and he was bruised all over his body, especially the hairpin stab mark on his left arm made Ye Xun's pain even more profound. Now the protector is not good, and the master will not spare me, Ye Xun is really unbearable to continue to endure the torture, in order to repay Miss Zhi'er's kindness, Ye Xun can only follow the underground and repay in the next life.

"It's a pity that such a benevolent slave gave his life like this." The Queen Mother lamented.

The Ninth Princess couldn't help but snort coldly after reading it, "Ridiculous, it's really nonsense." ”

"What my sister said is that this Ye Xun didn't forget to slander us when he was dying, it's really hateful." Princess Shi agreed.

"Whether it's true or not, you can tell at a glance." Xin An couldn't help but also accosted, and was warned by the Queen Mother to retreat with her eyes.

And after Princess Di received the prompt from the Nine Princes, her expression was unbearable, and she proposed to the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, regardless of whether what Ye Xun said is true or not, as the saying goes, the dead are the greatest." Now that the dead are gone, why not leave it at that. If the trouble continues, I am afraid that Zhi'er's sister's reputation will be damaged, so let Ye Xun go to the earth for peace, and it can be claimed that Zhi'er's sister's death was an accident, after all, there is no proof of death. Second, it can also show the benevolence of our royal family, so as not to expose the minions to the wilderness, I don't know what the Queen Mother thinks? ”

The Queen Mother glanced at Ye Xun, who had a pale face, "Okay, just do what Princess Di said, Lao Jiu, this matter will be handed over to you." After speaking, he turned around to leave, and before leaving, he specially instructed the nine princesses and them, "You all listen, this matter is over, people, the mourning family has also seen it, the letter, the mourning family has also read it, as a result, the mourning family has also given it, if anyone talks about this matter again in the future, the mourning family will not be spared." ”

"Remember the instructions of the Queen Mother."

"Yes. Don't be too sad about the Ninth Princess, as for your mother's family, the mourning family will mention it to the emperor and send someone to comfort and comfort. ”

"Empress Dowager Xie." The ninth princess also knew very well in her heart that her mother's family was prominent on the surface, but she had no real power at all, and if she continued to insist on making trouble, she would only suffer.

After the queen mother left, the nine princesses left angrily, and the princess also withdrew, but Princess Di was reluctant to retreat and wrapped around the nine princes.

After loading Ye Xun's corpse, the Ninth Prince and Princess Di walked to the west gate together, and ordered Lian to give some silver taels to the guard who was responsible for consigning Ye Xun's corpse, "You take this money with you, you must send it to his hometown for a good burial, and you have to report to this king after the matter is done, you know?" ”

"The minions obey."

"Lian the most, send him. After all, this king is with his master and servant. ”

"Yes, my subordinates are commanded."

Waiting for their figures, going farther and farther, Princess Di finally couldn't hold back her mood, and took the arm of the ninth prince and said, "The prince can talk about it, tonight?" ”

"Not only tonight, but tomorrow night after tomorrow, this king will also go to you, who made Di'er so obedient."

"Thank you, Lord Wang." As he spoke, he threw himself into the arms of the Nine Princes.

The carriage slowly walked out of the city gate, and under Lian Shi's prompting, he arrived at a secluded village and simply buried Ye Xun, "You go back and return to your life first, and let me deal with the aftermath next." ”

"Yes, the subordinate has taken his leave."

After making sure that there was no one around, Lian took off the saber on his body and inserted it on the dirt ground, quickly dug Ye Xun out of the ground, carefully cleaned up the soil on her body, and pulled out the silver needle inserted in the acupoint above her head.

After waiting for a while, Ye Xun's eyes moved slightly, slowly woke up, and moved his fingers to cough lightly.

The sunlight was dazzling into his eyes, Ye Xun regained consciousness and crawled up, finding that he was in the suburbs, he couldn't help but be a little stunned, "I...... Came out? ”

"From today on, you are no longer Ye Xun, but a daughter." Even the most unwavering words came into Ye Xun's ears, "What are your plans next?" ”

Ye Xun climbed up with difficulty, patted the mud on his body, and replied, "I'll first find someone who can prove my identity, and then sign up for the draft with my real identity, so that there will be no more Ye Xun in this world." ”

"Who is that person, I'll send you there." At the end, I didn't forget to add a sentence, "This is the prince's order." ”

The breeze was blowing, Ye Xun hadn't felt such a free and refreshing air for a long time, he stretched his mood, shook his head and said, "No need, I'm afraid this person is inconvenient for you to meet, Wuhu Racecourse has some festivals with you, if you appear, it will arouse their suspicion." ”

"Then you can't be looking for ......," Lian guessed.

Ye Xun nodded slightly, "Exactly." Actually, I forgot to say that Bai Jun is my cousin, and I originally wanted to come to Beijing to join him. Who would have expected that fate would give rise to these many twists and turns. Now I can only recover my daughter's body and go to visit him. ”

"In that case, then I won't send it." Lian Zhi blew the whistle with his hand, and soon a horse galloped over, "This horse is for you, I will go back and report to the prince first, and I will come to you later." ”

"Thank you, Brother Lian, Ye Xun is here to say goodbye." Ye Xun led the horse and followed Lian the most resignation.

That kind sentence of Brother Lian couldn't help but make Lian Ji a little stunned, blushed, and turned to leave, "Take care of yourself, the prince is still waiting for you to do things for him." ”

Although she came out of the palace, the only regret was that she couldn't say goodbye to Wu Ye as Ye Xun, maybe he would have a chance to see him again in the future, but he would never be able to go back to the past.
