Chapter 42: Murder in the Night Palace
In the Splendid Palace, the beauties' performances are in full swing to rehearse. Qin Sujin and Gu Nanxi still cooperated very well, so Qin Sujin proposed to continue to practice in the main hall at night, but Gu Nanxi did not refuse.
After dark, the hall was brightly lit, and Qin Sujin sat alone in the hall to play "Reincarnation", and the sound of the piano made the whole hall full of grievances.
Gu Nanxi also came later, sitting in front of the piano and waiting for Qin Sujin to finish playing unhurriedly.
"Are you going to start practicing?"
"Don't worry, I'm a little thirsty and want to drink a glass of water first. Qin Sujin got up and poured water and poured a cup for Gu Nanxi.
Shattered Moon Xuan, An Ronghua is going out.
"Where are you going?" asked Xia Huaijin.
"Do you care about me?" An Ronghua asked with a smile.
"This king is just afraid that you will go out and make trouble, this is the palace. Xia Huaijin said seriously.
"Gu Nanxi asked me to meet in Yuchi and said that he had something to talk to me about. An Ronghua told the truth.
An Ronghua went to Yuchi, but Gu Nanxi hadn't come yet, so she entered the Liusha Pavilion first and waited.
"I don't know if Bingwen likes this Gu Nanxi. ”
The sound of the wind blowing the flowing yarn "hissed", which even covered her light steps, she was wearing the bright clothes that Xia Bingwen gave to Gu Nanxi, and covered her face with a white silk handkerchief. She ripped off a stream of yarn in her hand, wrapped it around the strings, and entered the yarn pavilion.
An Ronghua didn't notice that the crisis was approaching, and she had already put the strings through An Ronghua with lightning speed and tightened her neck. An Ronghua was pulled off the seat of the chair, and his hands resisted and pulled the strings upside down.
"Seduce married men and destroy other people's families, vixens like you, damn it!" she gritted her teeth in hatred.
Her whole body was straining, her eyes were bruised, and her eyes were full of rage, as if she had strangled her father with a string.
An Ronghua lost resistance, she sneered through the veil, and dragged An Ronghua out of the pavilion, threw it into the jade pool, and sank to the bottom of the pool, the ripples gradually stopped, there were no bubbles for a long time, and it gradually became cold and silent.
"Huh!"
She walked across the water corridor, and she couldn't see An Ronghua's head coming out of the pool under the water corridor, her eyes were unprecedentedly fierce, and someone dared to commit murder in the palace, and the object was still her.
Yuchi regained her composure, and on her way back to the Splendid Palace, she met two night patrol eunuchs on the way, leaving them with the eyes of a murderer and fleeing quickly.
In the main hall of the Splendid Palace, Gu Nanxi was still lying on the piano and did not wake up, she took off her veil, revealing her true face, an undisguised cruel face, she was Qin Sujin.
Qin Sujin took off his clothes and threw them on the ground, took back his own cloak that covered Gu Nanxi's body and put it on.
"The back position can only be mine. ”
She possessed herself in front of the piano, cut Gu Nanxi's piano, and slashed the strings across her palm, scratching the blood stains alive and waking up in pain, and pushing her to the ground.
"Ah!" Qin Sujin shouted suddenly, summoning the palace maid and eunuch of the Splendid Palace, "Help, Gu Jiali is going to kill me!"
Qin Sujin shouted and ran out, looking back at Gu Nanxi, who didn't know why, with a cautious sneer on the corner of his mouth.
Gu Nanxi looked at the clothes that appeared inexplicably on the ground, the bloody broken strings, and the palms that he had scratched.
Aunt Ci sent someone to immediately rush to Shattered Moon Xuan to report the emergency, and Xia Huaijin listened to the report alone.
"Qin Jiali was practicing the piano in the main hall, Gu Jiali suddenly broke in and tried to hurt people with the strings, but Qin Jiali escaped!"
"Gu Jiali hurts?"
At this moment, An Ronghua was leaning against the door of Xia Huaijin's room soaking wet, and a deep blood mark on his neck was still oozing blood.
"Huai Jin!"
Xia Huaijin immediately walked towards An Ronghua, hugged her who was about to be ambushed, and urgently ordered the eunuch to say: "Call the imperial doctor quickly!"
Xia Huaijin hugged the cold An Ronghua in her arms, not daring to touch the wound on her neck. He no longer had the heart to see through whether An Ronghua's injuries were serious or fatal, he only panicked and worried, and his heart was uneasy.
"Someone, want to kill me......"
"Don't be afraid, this king is here, everyone dares to hurt you again!"
An Ronghua was just tired from the death struggle, but Xia Huaijin hugged her tightly in her arms, and the emotions in her eyes were like a scene of life and death.
"I'm fine, I'm a valley girl who is not afraid of heaven and earth, who can kill me!" An Ronghua said with a smile.
Xia Huaijin hugged An Ronghua to the collapse and asked her to take off her wet clothes first, and he went to her room to get clean clothes for her. When Xia Huaijin came back, An Ronghua was taking off only one belly pocket in the bed, Xia Huaijin immediately turned her head sideways and sent her clothes to the bedside.
An Ronghua put on his clothes, although his neck hurt, his heart was sweet, when did Xia Huaijin show that he cared so much about himself.
The imperial doctor came, and fortunately An Ronghua did not hurt the vital point, cleaned up the medicine and bandaged it, and told him to rest.
"Is there anything else I need to pay attention to?" Xia Huaijin asked.
"Don't knock the wound again, change the dressing once a day, don't touch the water in the wound, and pay attention to whether the wound is bleeding. The Imperial Doctor said.
Xia Huaijin asked the eunuch to send the imperial doctor away, and he felt at ease, and saw An Ronghua with his head down, and he became nervous inexplicably.
"But the wound still hurts?" Xia Huaijin asked.
An Ronghua raised his head again, obviously he was an injured person, but he smiled brighter than a flower.
"What are you laughing at?" Xia Huaijin was really worried that An Ronghua's brain was broken.
"I escaped death, and there are still people who care about me so much and cherish me, of course I laugh!" An Ronghua said proudly.
"This king will not argue with you today. Xia Huaijin said with a serious face.
"Okay, but the most urgent thing is to find out the woman who dared to commit murder in the palace. An Ronghua suddenly looked stern.
The man caught it. Xia Huaijin said.
"Caught?"
"It was Gu Nanxi, she tried to strangle Qin Sujin with strings and was caught red-handed. ”
An Ronghua didn't think that this matter was so simple, Gu Nanxi made an appointment to meet her, but tried to kill her, thinking that he had killed her and went to kill Qin Sujin and was arrested in an attempt, the process was too smooth.
"Where is Gu Nanxi now?"
Xia Huaijin only cared about An Ronghua's injury and did not deal with the matter in time.
An Ronghua had to go to the Splendid Palace with Xia Huaijin, the beauties were dismissed and were not allowed to stay in the main hall, Gu Nanxi was escorted on the main hall and waited for disposal, and some guards of the forbidden palace were injured.
"Lord Wang, Miss Gu Maiden. Aunt Ci was present.
An Ronghua stared at Gu Nanxi, who was bound by shackles, and asked, "Where is Qin Sujin?"
Qin Jiali was frightened, and the old slave asked the other slaves and maids to send her back to the room to rest. ”
"Call her back to me, in addition, the servants on duty at the Splendid Palace tonight and the minions who patrol the night from Yuchi to the Splendid Palace, have all summoned me. An Ronghua ordered.
Seeing the scene, the set of clothes was thrown on the ground, Gu Nanxi's piano strings were broken, and a bloody string was on the ground. An Ronghua's eyes walked towards Gu Nanxi sharply, she was gagged, and there were two new blood marks on her palm.
"How did you get hurt?" An Ronghua asked the guard.
"She knows martial arts, and she's not bad. ”
Gu Nanxi would be martial arts and resist the arrest, An Ronghua didn't expect this, but even this could not prove that she was the murderer.
Qin Sujin and a group of people were brought over, and the moment they saw that the valley girl was safe and sound, the surprise and panic in Qin Sujin's eyes were unconcealed and exposed.
An Ronghua also looked directly at Qin Sujin and left, if the murderer was not Gu Nanxi, then it must be her.
"Regarding the attack on Qin Jiali, I want to hear it with my own ears, and I also ask Qin Jiali to tell me in detail from beginning to end. ”
Qin Sujin sank down and said the process again, she had made an appointment with Gu Nanxi to practice the piano, but Gu Nanxi didn't arrive for a long time, so she played the piano alone in the hall, and fell asleep when she was sleepy. When she woke up in a daze, she saw Gu Nanxi enter the hall, took off her clothes, cut the strings, and without saying a word, she wanted to strangle herself with the strings, and pushed him away and shouted for help.
And the slave maid on duty in the Splendid Palace proved that he did see Qin Sujin practicing the piano alone, and fell asleep on the piano. and the eunuch who was on patrol at night, confirming that he saw a woman wearing the same garment but wearing a veil.
All the human and physical evidence, and the situation at the scene, have confirmed that Gu Nanxi is the murderer, and the so-called evidence is conclusive.
"Since there is all the human and material evidence, there is nothing to say, and she will be detained first...... In the room, I will tell the emperor tomorrow and then dispose of it. An Ronghua decided, "In addition, Qin Jiali is frightened today, if she lives in another hospital with Gu Jiali, I am afraid that she will have palpitations, so let her go to Shattered Moon Xuan to rest in peace for the night." ”
Qin Sujin was arranged in another side room, and An Ronghua said with a full face: "Although you can rest in peace, with your uncle Prince Jin here, no one can hurt you." ”
An Ronghua deliberately took Xia Huaijin's hand and left, and did not close the door, so that Qin Sujin could see her sticking to Xia Huaijin with her own eyes, and the two walked into his room.
The palace people in the Shattered Moon Xuan were all cleared away by An Rong Huaqing, and they were extremely quiet. Qin Sujin was alone in the room, and he couldn't feel at ease for a long time.
Suddenly, he heard a sound of strings plucking out of order, which came from Xia Huaijin's room, and Qin Sujin unconsciously left the room and secretly eavesdropped outside Xia Huaijin's room.
"Lord Wang, that Gu Nanxi actually wants to kill me, you must avenge me!" An Ronghua made an extremely pretentious voice.
"Tomorrow, after the king tells the emperor, he will dispose of her impartially. Xia Huaijin's tone was the same.
"It's just a fair deal, I'm going to divide her five horses, dismantle eight pieces, and execute Ling Chi!" An Ronghua became more and more eccentric.
In the room, Xia Huaijin and An Ronghua were sitting upright on the bed, Xia Huaijin couldn't help frowning, unable to tolerate An Ronghua's acting skills.
"This king can't be the master of this matter. ”
"Then if you can't deal with her and avenge me, then at least you can love me as a comfort, people's necks still hurt now!"
Xia Huaijin stared at An Ronghua suddenly, it was really difficult to cooperate with her. An Ronghua glared at him instead, and it really hurt to pull his neck hard.
"Look at this king!"
Xia Huaijin bowed his head and noticed that there were traces of blood oozing from the bandage on An Ronghua's neck, but An Ronghua completely ignored his feelings and began to perform an exaggerated one-man show.
"Lord Wang, just look at the wound, how can you kiss me secretly, don't do it, Lord Wang! There are other people in the courtyard tonight, if the slave and maid can't be in love with themselves, they will be heard!"
An Ronghua's words gave up her shame, Xia Huaijin held her shoulders but couldn't stop the trembling of her fingertips, she couldn't bear to look up, why did she cooperate with her to play so far?
