Early the next morning, Liu Wei asked people to go to the Internal Affairs Office to find out where Dou Jieyu's lamp oil came from, but he got the news that the internal servant who was in charge of the supply of Wan'an Palace every day was drunk a few days ago and fell into a well and drowned.
Sun Qingyang and Liu Wei naturally didn't think it was a coincidence, and both of them felt that the reason for the death of the inner servant might have a lot to do with Dou Jieyu's fall from the building.
Obviously, the other party tried to pinch off the clues, but he couldn't find a clue for a while, so he had to let people continue to pay attention.
After greeting the queen mother and the queen, the two went to Changchun Palace and Chengxi Hall together.
Zhao Yaoying heard Liu Wei talk about last night's incident early in the morning, and she checked the palace people who had seen Lin Meiren's dead soul, so she excused herself from feeling unwell and did not go to the two palaces to say goodbye. When he saw the two of them, he didn't say hello, so he led the two of them to see the situation in the Chengxi Hall first.
Since the death of Lin Meiren, the Chengxi Palace has not moved into the newcomers, although the garden and houses are still exquisite, the flowers and trees inside and outside have been somewhat barren.
Zhao Yaoying explained: "After Lin Meiren died, for some reason, the palace people refused to come here to do things, and the concubines were afraid that it would be unlucky to die, so they were afraid, so they were not reluctant. It's only during the day, and the two mothers-in-law come to clean up, so some weeds gradually come out. โ
When they walked in, they saw that the flowers and trees in the garden had grown like crazy, apparently because of the lack of pruning, and the walls were covered with vines, and a few jujube trees were deep and deep, and half of the branches stretched out over the wall, casting mottled shadows above the moon gate. In the garden, except for the road that the mother-in-law sprinkled and cleaned, the others have not been walked for a long time, and some bluestone roads even have thin layers of green moss, and the flowers and trees are also overgrown with weeds, and there is no trace of people.
Sun Qingyang looked at it for a moment and said, "When the palace people said that they saw Lin Meiren combing her hair in the garden, where was it?" โ
Zhao Yaoying pointed to the corridor of the Chengxi Palace, as well as a few places in the garden, "The concubine asked people, saying that in those places, someone has seen it, and they have all seen it from different palace people." โ
Sun Qingyang frowned, "If you see this at night, if you don't come to the front, how can you see clearly that it is Lin Meiren from such a distance?" โ
Zhao Yaoying said: "The concubine also asked like this, those palace people all said, anyway, that style and figure, at a glance, it is Lin Meiren, others can't learn it, and some people have heard her sing, Lin Meiren's singing voice, the emperor has praised the nature, and that is even more difficult for others to learn." โ
Hearing Sun Qingyang's question, the palace people who followed behind and had seen Lin Meiren's dead soul were busy learning the situation of the day to Sun Qingyang, but what they said was what they told Zhao Yaoying in the morning, just looking at their appearance, they had palpitations, and after replying, they entered the garden, and several people couldn't move their steps, so Sun Qingyang simply ordered them to go back and rest.
Although it was broad daylight and followed a large number of people, Zhao Yaoying's face was still a little pale after talking for a long time, thinking that when she heard the palace people return before, she was also frightened.
Zhao Yaoying believed in the words of gods and ghosts, Sun Qingyang looked at her like that, and comforted: "It's hard for Sister Zhao, it's just that this matter doesn't want to be expanded, and for the time being, it will be hidden from the queen mother and queen, lest they hear the words of the dead soul and make people panic." โ
Sun Qingyang and Liu Wei both felt that this was man-made, so they were not afraid, but they could understand everyone's fear of this matter, and even felt that this was what the other party wanted to see. Once this matter is spread, everyone in the palace will not dare to walk at night, let alone say it, and even the Queen Mother will believe that it is indeed the soul of the dead, and what kind of mage and Taoist priest will do it, and enter the palace to overdo it, but they fell into the trap of the other party.
In terms of this interlocking and step-by-step approach, the other party obviously intends to make things bigger, but I don't know how far he plans to go, and what purpose he has in addition to targeting Sun Qingyang.
Therefore, after discussing with Liu Wei, Sun Qingyang decided to suppress the matter, wait and see what happened, and then investigate and secretly visit.
Fortunately, the incident happened in Wan'an Palace and Changchun Palace, and it was temporarily able to delay for a day or two.
After seeing the situation in the Chengxi Palace, the three of them returned to the main hall of Changchun Palace and discussed countermeasures after lunch.
Zhao Yaoying was a little worried, "This matter, at most, is to hide it for two or three days, after a long time, such a thing as a dead person, and it is a Jieyu, it will always reach the ears of the queen mother, and you can't say that she is sick every day, can't you get by?" At that time, if the queen mother asks, how do you explain the imperial concubine? โ
"Unless the other party does not move, otherwise, in these two or three days, it should be possible to give an explanation to the queen mother. Concubine Shu, this palace asked you to check the affairs of Hua Jieyu and Xiang Meiren, what did you find? โ
Liu Wei shook his head, "I didn't see any flaws, I heard that the two of them rested early last night." No one saw them go out. โ
Sun Qingyang thought for a moment, "In this case, you have to find Xiangmei to ask, why did Lin Meiren want to find Dou Jieyu's trouble?" Caiying said before that she once laughed at Dou Jieyu for being retributed sooner or later, thinking that she knew something. โ
"Get up early, Concubine Shu and the concubine have said that the concubine has asked someone to invite her over, and the imperial concubine will be able to ask in a while."
Listening to Zhao Yaoying's words, Sun Qingyang smiled and said: "You two are thoughtful, when you went back to the palace yesterday, you slept on the pillow, and you didn't have time to think about these things." โ
Liu Weizhi shook his head, "The concubine knows that you are a big heart, but I never thought that it would be so far, and such a thing happened, you would be able to sleep!" The concubine turned over and over again, and only then did Tianming close her eyes, and got up early in the morning to order someone to check the Internal Affairs Office, check Hua Jieyu and Xiang Meiren, and rushed to Sister Zhao by herself, and asked her to ask the palace people who had seen Lin Meiren's soul...... No wonder when you get up early at the queen's house, the concubine's face is haggard, but you are radiant. โ
"Can't sleep? This palace teaches you a method, press and hold the Yongquan acupoint before going to bed to ensure that there is no dream at night. โ
Liu Wei hurriedly said: "Really? The concubine has to give it a try, where is the Yongquan acupoint, and how to press the law? Sometimes I can't sleep at night, and I toss and turn until dawn, which is really uncomfortable......"
Zhao Yaoying saw that the two of them were really discussing how to treat insomnia, and hurriedly interrupted, "I'll talk about this later, what should I do now?" โ
Sun Qingyang said with a smile: "From you, the palace is sick, the palace is said that the palace is to see things that should not be seen, frightened, palpitations and shortness of breath, sleep well at night, and repeatedly wake up by nightmares...... Now, since the fragrant beauty is coming, ask someone to bring your incense powder and pounce on the palace, it is best to draw a pale face and a weak appearance. โ
Zhao Yaoying suddenly realized, "It turns out that the imperial concubine wants to lure the snake out of the hole?" โ
When the fragrant beauty arrived at Changchun Palace, she saw Sun Qingyang half-lying on the chaise longue, with a handkerchief wrapped around her forehead, her face was pale and she was sweating, and the palace maid kept wiping her beside her.
Zhao Yaoying and Liu Wei sat on the side with a sad face.
"The concubines give the imperial concubine Niangniang, the lady concubine Niangniang, the virtuous concubine Niangniang, please be happy, and all the ladies will be honorable and noble." The fragrant beauty bowed down.
Sun Qingyang raised his hand weakly, and Liu Wei hurriedly said: "Xiangmei, get up and sit down, the imperial concubine has been in a little bad since yesterday, but she has to listen to it on the sidelines, and the palace can't persuade her, so I have to ask the virtuous concubine to summon you over and ask on the spot." โ
Xiang Meiren's expression seemed to pretend to be confused, "The concubine dares to ask what the concubine wants to ask?" What does the imperial concubine want to hear? โ
"That Dou Jieyu-" Before Sun Qingyang finished speaking, his face changed, and he looked around in a panic, as if a fierce ghost was about to pounce.
Zhao Yaoying hurriedly patted her with her hand, "Imperial Concubine, you just rest, wait for Concubine Shu to ask, if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask again." โ
Xiang Meiren's eyes flashed when she saw Sun Qingyang's appearance.
Liu Wei went straight in and asked straight to the point: "Yesterday Dou Jieyu fell downstairs, her palace maid said, I heard you say that she can't live with Lin Meiren, sooner or later she will be retributed, and she will be asked for her life by Lin Meiren, what is going on?" โ
Xiangmei said in surprise: "Dou Jieyu fell from the building?" Does it matter? The concubine has never said anything like that, did you hear it wrong, or else, the palace maid heard it wrong. In this palace, it is forbidden to spread those things, how dare the concubines violate the rules and say such things to Dou Jieyu? โ
"At present, Dou Meiren is still in a coma, so she told the queen that she was sick. It's just that Wan'an Palace and Changchun Palace are rumoring about the death of Lin Meiren, the imperial concubine-" Liu Wei looked at Sun Qingyang, lowered his voice and said: "I was also frightened a lot, I'm afraid this matter won't last long." Because I heard the palace maid say that, I asked the beauty to come and ask, and asked the beauty to be open and honest, and not to hide it. โ
Xiang Meiren hesitated for a moment, and then said: "In this case, please also ask Niang Niang to forgive the concubine for her innocence, and when she goes out of this palace gate, you can't tell others that the concubine has passed on such words." โ
"Of course, let's talk about these things behind our backs. You didn't see it, except for the big palace maid we were carrying, no one else was allowed to come in, don't worry, just a few of us know about it. Liu Wei looked at heart.
The two of us have narrowed the distance with Xiangmeiren.
In the face of Concubine Liu Shufei's overture, Xiangmei was overjoyed, and she talked like beans poured into the bamboo tube.
It turned out that Dou Jieyu did press Lin Meiren's stomach that day, and she somehow did not know how to send a ghost to her subordinates, so Lin Meiren slipped a tire, although she and Hua Jieyu shouted grievances, she was uneasy in her heart. Later, Lin Meiren's matter was involved in the concubine's head, and she and Hua Jieyu were actually blessed by misfortune and promoted to a higher position.
It's just that after all, there is a ghost in her heart, so after Lin Meiren committed suicide by poisoning, she went to send her last ride.
But I saw Lin Meiren wearing a nine-bead flower basket, and musk was added to the flower basket, and pregnant women would definitely slip the tire if they wore it. The flower basket was given by King Jin before Lin Meiren entered the palace, Dou Jieyu saw Lin Meiren back, thought it looked good, and wanted to imitate a branch of other patterns, and accidentally found that there was musk in it, and once said to Lin Meiren, so when she saw Lin Meiren wearing it, she felt strange.
