The guard stumbled and knocked on the door of the Internal Affairs Mansion again, and said to the adult who was still sleepy-eyed and full of disdain: "Lord Qiqi, the little one has been found out, this corpse belongs to the seventh elder brother Chengde!" ”

The eyes of the Lord of the Internal Affairs Office immediately opened, he stepped down from the seat, pushed the door open, came to the courtyard, and asked the corpse incredulously, "How do you know?" ”

Fang Lanlan handed him the jade pendant in her hand and said, "You see that there is a jade pendant here, and it says 'Beloved son Chengde, more blessings and more wisdom', it should be Chengde's, right?" ”

The adult looked at it carefully for a while, still with an expression of disbelief, and then lowered his head to look at the corpse, but the corpse's face was already unrecognizable, and he couldn't see it for a long time.

"This is no small matter! In this case, you leave this corpse behind, and I will consider it in the long run!" The lord finally came to this conclusion.

The guards, Xia Ye'er, and Fang Lanlan had no choice but to leave their bodies behind and walk out of the Internal Affairs Mansion. The guard was very frustrated and said: "Hey, it seems that the Internal Affairs Office is preparing to deal with it secretly, and it is estimated that the murderer will not be brought to justice." ”

Fang Lanlan shook her head and said, "We can investigate by ourselves!" ”

The guard asked, "How do you investigate?" ”

Fang Lanlan smiled and took out the jade pendant from her pocket and said, "Look, that person from the Internal Affairs Office has forgotten the most important thing!" ”

The guards and Xia Ye'er were taken aback at the same time. The guard immediately stretched his brows: "You are too powerful!" Thanks to you! By the way, you haven't asked the two yet? ”

Before Xia Ye'er could answer, Fang Lanlan said, "You just call me Lanlan, just call her Ye'er!" ”

The guard nodded, smiled a little embarrassedly, and said, "Then you can call me Yuntian." ”

"Yuntian, why did you want to solve this case so much?" Xia Ye'er couldn't help but ask the guard.

The guard said: "Since I was a child, I wanted to be a big official, to eliminate violence and peace for the people, and to rectify those bad people. Helpless, I didn't have a family background, and I didn't read well, so I became a guard in the palace, sad! ”

Fang Lanlan was very sorry: "If you are as ambitious as you, you should be promoted, and that person who broke the Internal Affairs Office has no sense of responsibility!" ”

The guard was even more embarrassed, scratched his head, and said, "Then why don't we discuss how to solve the case first?" ”

Fang Lanlan clapped her hands and said, "Okay, okay", Xia Ye'er had no choice but to follow them.

"Now that we know that the dead body is Chengde, that is, the Seventh Elder Brother, then we have to think about why he was killed!" Yuntian said.

"Is he the crown prince?" Fang Lanlan asked.

"It's not." Yuntian immediately vetoed it.

"Who is his mother?" Xia Ye'er asked.

Yun Tian thought for a while and said, "It's the queen's sister, Concubine Jing." ”

Concubine Jing? Neither Xia Ye'er nor Fang Lanlan had heard much of this person. Fang Lanlan asked, "What is her origin?" ”

Yun Tian said: "Concubine Jing was very favored a few years ago, and because she gave birth to the seventh elder brother, she has a very high status. But later, she was not in good health and could hardly get out of bed, and the king of Chu no longer patronized her, so her power declined quickly. If it weren't for the support of the Seventh Elder Brother, it is estimated that it would have been forgotten long ago. ”

"Then now that the seventh elder brother is dead, won't she be miserable?" Fang Lanlan asked.

Yuntian said, "Yes." ”

Xia Ye'er interjected and asked, "Since Concubine Jing is the queen's sister, why doesn't the queen protect her?" ”

Yun Tian chuckled lightly and said, "Ye'er, you think too simply. Concubine Jing is a step above the queen in terms of appearance and talent, and she entered the palace a year later than the queen, but she is much more favored than the queen. In addition, the queen has never had an elder brother, only three Gege, Concubine Jing was much more beautiful than her at that time! The queen would naturally be jealous of her, not like her! ”

Xia Ye'er felt a chill in her heart, the battle in the palace was able to dilute the sisterhood, it was really terrible.

"Could it be that the queen killed the seventh elder brother?" Fang Lanlan asked suddenly.

Yun Tian motioned for her to be quieter and said, "Don't be so public, so as not to be heard." I think, Concubine Jing has been silent for so many years, the queen shouldn't be so cruel, right? Now Concubine Jing is not in her way, so it is unlikely. ”

Xia Ye'er thought for a while and asked, "That...... Did Concubine Jing and the other concubines have any festivals? ”

Yun Tian frowned, thought for a while, and said, "I don't know about this." Concubine Jing entered the palace too early, we all heard that there were few people who entered the palace with her, and I don't know very much, so I have to ask. ”

Fang Lanlan yawned and said, "Okay, this is the end of the discussion, let's go back and sleep for a while, I can't stay up!" ”

Yuntian stood up, straightened his hat, and said, "You little girls are just lacking in energy, look at me, you are still in good spirits!" ”

Fang Lanlan quipped: "Yuntian, you have to work hard, when you become the head of the Internal Affairs Office one day, we will rely on you!" ”

Yun Tian smiled and narrowed his eyes: "Okay, then I have to go back to duty." Tomorrow, no, today, after resting, come to the Qianqing Palace to find me, and let's continue to discuss! ”

Fang Lanlan and Xia Ye'er both agreed. The three of them parted ways at the intersection, and Yun Tian waved at them, smiling all over his face.

"If it weren't for the fact that I was a concubine, I guess I would have liked him." Fang Lanlan said to Xia Ye'er.

Xia Ye'er smiled: "Fool, even if you are a concubine, you can like him!" ”

Fang Lanlan shook her head: "No, I'm still waiting for King Chu to be favored, and then I will soar!" ”

Xia Ye'er returned to Pinmeitang in the middle of the night, and saw that there was no one around, and suddenly remembered that it was also the middle of the night, and when she returned here from outside the palace, Hongmei was the first to run out to greet her, worried about herself. But she lost her important belongings, the silk scarf, which is really a crime that deserves death.

Xia Ye'er was about to push open the door of the bedroom, when she suddenly heard someone behind her: "Little master, are you back?" ”

Xia Ye'er hurriedly turned around, but saw that it was Mengwei, and was a little disappointed, but still said, "Well, I'm back." ”

Meng Wei said with a smile: "Little master, Sister Hongmei is not feeling well today, so she specially told the slave maid to let you come back, saying that it is not safe for you to come back late alone." ”

When Xia Ye'er heard this, her eyes were a little moist, it turned out that Hongmei still cared about herself. When a person becomes a habit by his side, and suddenly one day he finds that the other person may be far away from him, he will panic unusually much. The panic is not whether the person will disappear, but the panic that no one will be with you anymore.

"What's wrong with her?" Xia Ye'er asked Mengwei.

Mengwei said: "The slave maid doesn't know much, but when she sees that Sister Hongmei's face is not good, could it be that she is infected with the wind and cold?" ”
