Lou Xinyue's eyebrows were furrowed, and her face was gloomy. She pointed at the eunuch and scolded: "You slave, what nonsense are you talking about! ”

Apparently she didn't believe that Liu Se was dead. Obviously, not long ago, she ordered Liu Se to go to the Internal Affairs Mansion, and she also saw her jumping out of the palace gate with her own eyes. But in half a day, how could he die.

The eunuch's body trembled slightly, and he lowered his head and continued: "The minions went to look for Sister Liuse, and when they saw that the Internal Affairs Office couldn't find it, they went to the edge of the imperial garden to find it. Seeing that the wooden guardrail on the edge of the carp lotus pond was broken for a short time, I saw that the crack had just been broken, so I immediately went down to the pool to search and found Sister Liu at the bottom of the pool. I was out of gas when I rescued him......"

Lou Xinyue's eyes darkened when she heard this, and she stumbled two steps and almost fell. Junyu and Nanhua held her hand left and right, comforting Lou Xinyue vigorously. But after all, Liu Se is a maid who has been by her side since she was a child, and how can the relationship for so many years be resolved with a sentence of "festival mourning".

"Sister Liu's body is still in the Meditation Garden, how will the mother deal with the aftermath." The eunuch asked aloud, but Lou Xinyue was full of sadness at this time, and she didn't listen to it at all.

She struggled to go outside to see the last side of Liu Se, but Junyu immediately stopped her and hurriedly shook her head: "Niangniang!" No! You are the body of a daughter, and the meditation garden is full of yin qi, and the evil qi will enter the body and hurt the body. ”

Junyu thought for a while and said, "Why don't you let the slave go, tidy up the appearance for Sister Liuse, and it won't be in vain to have a fight with the master and servant of the mother." ”

At this time, Murong Qi came back from outside, and when he saw that there were so many people around the gate of the East Palace, he was puzzled, and seeing Lou Xinyue with tears on his face, he immediately took two steps and took one step to the side and hugged her into his arms, and asked Junyu, "What happened?" ”

"If I go back to His Royal Highness, it is the willow color next to Niangniang who has fallen into the water and disappeared, and Niangniang is sad for a while."

Murong Qi took a deep breath, he raised his hand to caress Lou Xinyue's back, his face was also full of sentimentality, and after thinking for a while, he couldn't think of words that could comfort her, so he could only spit out a sentence faintly, "People can't be resurrected after death." ”

"Your Highness, Liu Se has been with me for many years, why did she leave in such a daze." Lou Xinyue hid her face and cried again.

Seeing that she was so affectionate, Murong Qi immediately ordered to go down, and ordered someone to go to Nanshan to find a piece of feng shui treasure to bury Liu Se, and rewarded a hundred taels of gold to settle down with Liu Se's family, and even saw that Liu Se was not married even though he was old, and he personally acted as a matchmaker to find the young master who died early in the family and became a yin relative, so it was a complete deal for Liu Se.

Seeing Murong Qi helping Lou Xinyue to return to the dormitory while softly comforting him, Junyu turned his head and walked outside the East Palace. Murong Qi frowned and was displeased, and hurriedly asked, "Where are you going if something like this happens?" ”

"Back to His Royal Highness, the willow-colored corpse is still in the Meditation Garden, I think the old lady there will not be able to comb it well if she doesn't have feelings, so I take a dry dress to the Meditation Garden, so that the willow can be beautiful and clean." Junyu replied truthfully, choked in his throat and eyes, and wiped his tears and choked uncomfortably twice after speaking.

Seeing that she was thoughtful, Murong Qi also went with her. Junyu took a set of delicate cloud brocade dark pattern gold silk skirts, and then took a set of jewelry from the willow-colored dresser and walked towards Jingxin Garden.

This set of skirts was given by Mrs. Lou when Lou Xinyue just entered the palace, because it was too eye-catching, I never found a chance to wear it, but I didn't expect to wear it for the first time on such an occasion.

Walking quickly all the way to the Jingxin Garden, I saw the high palace gate in front of me, and the locust trees planted on both sides of the arms of the three people, the shade of the trees blocked all the sunlight, although it was noon, it was cold and dim like evening.

She knocked on the closed door with something in her arms, and the clear sound of "dong dong dong" turned into an echo that rang out in all directions.

After knocking three times, someone from inside slowly opened the door, and an old woman with a wrinkled face glanced at Junyu up and down with her eyes drooping, and asked in a dumb voice, "Looking for the one who just fell into the water and died?" ”

"Mama, she is the personal palace maid next to the crown princess, and she is very sad to suffer such an unfortunate mother, let me settle down and take care of it, so that she will not leave too ugly." Junyu said that, and secretly handed a golden hairpin to the old woman.

I don't know what the smell was, it smelled like rotting leaves piled up under a tree. She lowered her eyes and looked at the bright golden hairpin, and there were words in her mouth: "No one will look at it if you wear it, melt it and make it into a gold ingot." After speaking, he flashed and let Junyu enter the Meditation Garden.

If it was like evening at the door just now, now it seems to be dark when you enter the meditation garden.

Crossing the threshold, there was a sudden chill around him, which made people like Junyu who practiced martial arts couldn't help but shudder. The courtyard was dim and there were no candles, but there were many long tables, all covered with white cloths. You don't need to ask to know that there are dead bodies under this white cloth.

There are not a few palace people who die every day in the palace, and after death, they are all pulled to this remote and cold meditation garden, if no one claims it, they will pick up valuable things and burn them directly, and the ashes and grass will be scattered everywhere as fertilizer for flowers and plants.

Mama led her to a long table, and unsuspectingly lifted the white cloth on it, revealing a willow-colored pale and lifeless face. "Hurry up." Mama said to Junyu, turned around and walked towards the Meditation Garden.

Now there is only one living creature left in this courtyard, Junyu is the only one left, she immediately took out the burden to wipe Liu Se's body, at that time her body was already a little stiff and it was not good to dress her, so Jun Yu gritted her teeth and sat Liu Se on the table.

"Huh?" Jun Yu said suspiciously.

When she lifted Willow up, she saw that there were a few bruises on Willow's back, which didn't look like they had been bruised or hit with a blunt object. She stared at the bruise for a long time, not noticing that the grandmother came out with a candle.

"It's a palm print." The old lady said in a faint voice, startling Junyu like a ghost.

She placed the lampstand in her hand on the table, and raised her crumpled left hand to touch the bruise on the willow back, her index, middle, and thumb just enough to fit a few small bruises, and the base of her hand fell on the large bruise.

"It seems to be in a hurry, and I didn't have time to think about it for a moment before I pushed her directly into the water, and the bruises were so scattered." The old lady said, sneering to herself. "It's pitiful to be killed again."

Junyu ignored her, put on her clothes in willow color, combed her hair into a bun, put on jewelry, and put her back on the table, covering her face with a white cloth.

Looking at the willow color, which could no longer move, she sighed. "It's a rare and common thing to have a dead person in the palace, as long as it's not me."

The old lady grinned when she heard this, and the black hole in her mouth had already fallen out. Junyu was uncomfortable staying here, and when he was done, he hurriedly came out, went out and met the eunuchs who came to carry the corpse, said hello and hurried back to the East Palace.

It's funny to say. Liu Se framed Junyu for misconduct and privately received from others. But as soon as her relics were cleaned up, she found that there was a mandarin duck embroidered bag under the pillow, which was stuffed with a few neatly folded letters, and the concubines were written with the love of men and women.

As soon as Liu Se died, Junyu naturally became the big palace maid of the East Palace. Listening to the gossip of the people below, she frowned and scolded her several times, which made the palace people feel more and more that she was kind in her heart, and they admired her more. After a few days, the name willow was like sand, and it gradually blew away, and no one remembered it anymore.
