"Old Madam Li is indeed one of the four maids brought by Concubine Xue from Xiyan Kingdom back then, and the purpose of their coming to Dongsen Kingdom is also very clear, that is, to steal the 'Red Fish' from the former emperor."

Shenchen knelt down on one knee and reported the news from the Cloud Shadow Pavilion to Ji Chunqing one by one.

"Then it was she and another maid who took the 'Red Fish' back then?"

Ji Chunqing stood in front of the window looking at the dark night sky outside with his hands in his hands, and his long figure looked a little lonely.

Mingchen thought for a moment and hesitated,

"Yes, but ......"

"Huh?"

Ji Chunqing frowned and looked sideways at Shenchen, a trace of impatience flashed on his face. This guy seems to have had too much contact with Ximen Jin during this time, why did he start to sell off when he spoke?

Hearing the master's snort, Shenchen hurriedly lowered his head and continued:

"According to Mrs. Li, Concubine Xue didn't actually give them the 'red fish' back then, but just told them to escape from the palace quickly."

"Just running away?"

Ji Chunqing's eyes deepened a little, and Leng Jun's face showed a bit of solemnity.

is a smart snow concubine, and a good plan to mix up the food and audio.

This also explains why these two maids did not return to Xiyan after escaping from the palace, because they didn't get the 'Red Fish' at all, how could they go back and explain to the monarch of Xiyan?

Could it be that after the Snow Concubine got the "Red Fish", she had selfish intentions and wanted to take it as her own? In order to divert attention, he ordered Mrs. Li and another maid to escape from the palace. In this way, the emperor would have thought that the "Red Fish" had been taken away by Mrs. Li, and the monarch of Xiyan Kingdom would definitely know that two of the maids brought by the Snow Concubine had escaped from the palace with the "Red Fish", so that everyone's focus was undoubtedly on tracking down the Old Lady Li and them, but no one could have imagined that the Snow Concubine did not hand over the "Red Fish" to them to take away.

But here's the problem, Concubine Xue was tortured to death by the first king within two days, and the two maids of Xiyan Kingdom who stayed next to her also died, so where would the "Red Fish" go? Could it be that this Xue Fei Niang still has a back hand, and there are still their people in the palace, and Mrs. Li and another maid are just a bright line, and the unknown person is another dark line arranged by Xue Fei Niangniang?

Thinking of this, Ji Chunqing suddenly opened his mouth and asked again to Shenchen,

"Then did Old Madam Li still have contact with other people in the palace later?"

"Nope."

Styx shook his head,

"A few days after Mrs. Li and another maid escaped, she learned the news that Concubine Xue was dead, and she never dared to contact the palace again. The two of them didn't dare to go back to Xiyan because they didn't get the 'red fish', and they have been living incognito in the Dongsen Kingdom to hide in Tibet. Later, Mrs. Li married Li Jinnian's father. Li Jinnian is not her biological son, Li Jinnian's mother died not long after Li Jinnian was born, it can be said that Li Jinnian was raised by her. Later, Li Jinnian somehow knew the identity of Mrs. Li back then, so he forced her to hand over the 'red fish'. In order to survive, Mrs. Li had to lie to him that although she did not have a 'red fish' in her hand, she knew its whereabouts. ”

This old lady Li is really blind, and she has raised a white-eyed wolf by her side for so many years.

Ji Chunqing shook his head secretly, and silently despised Li Jinnian in his heart.

"Where is the maid who escaped from the palace with Old Madam Li back then?"

"According to Mrs. Li's confession, the maid died within a few years, but she left a daughter before she died."

Ji Chunqing listened to the report of the dead dust, and at the same time fiddled with the potted plants on the desk with great interest, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer, it seems that the case of "Red Fish" is getting more and more interesting.

"Sister Jing, the prince of Naming has been interrogated for a long time, but the whereabouts of the 'red fish' are still unknown, it seems that we have been frozen for three nights in vain!"

Xuan Shao lowered her little head and said with a dejected face.

"Not necessarily."

With a playful smile on the corner of her mouth, Jing Niang glanced at the corner of the wall,

"The three nights of freezing were not in vain, and I still think that Ma Yi's 'memories' were not wasted. Hey~ I really didn't expect Mu Wan to be the daughter of the maid who fled with Mrs. Li back then. ”

"So, isn't Li Qing'er the granddaughter of that maid?"

Xuan Shao looked at Jing Niang with wide eyes and subconsciously answered, but there seemed to be a problem that she couldn't understand, so she said,

"It's strange, since Old Madam Li knows that Mu Wan is the daughter of the deceased, why did she send Mu Wan's daughter Li Qing'er to a place like the ancestral hall? Isn't it that she and Mu Wan's mother had a grudge before her death? ”

Jing Niang patted Xuan Shao's little head melon seeds, crooked the corners of her mouth and said,

"You're still young, and of course you don't understand the meaning. I don't think Mrs. Li has a grudge against Mu Wan's mother, but she did it precisely to protect her descendants. ”

Xuan Shao bit her lip and tilted her head to ask inquiringly,

"Sister Jing, I don't understand what you said, why did you send Li Qing'er to a place where birds don't to protect her?"

"Li Qing'er's mother is just a Qinglou woman in Diechun Building, and she died not long after giving birth to Li Qing'er. If you think about it, Li Qing'er has a mother from such a background, and she is a concubine, in a complex family like Shangshufu, she may have been tortured to death by her wife and those aunts before she lived to the end, so the old lady strongly advocated that sending her to the ancestral hall in the countryside may not be another protection for her. ”

Xuan Shao listened with a smile and put her arms around Jing Niang's arm and said:

"Sister Jing, you are so smart, and your analysis is very reasonable."

Sister Jing patted Xuan Shao's little head lovingly,

"Ghost girl, I'm getting better at sycophancy."

After speaking, Jing Niang squinted, and her eyes seemed to sweep the corner of the wall intentionally or unintentionally.

"I dare say that the 'red fish' must still be in the palace."

"Do you think that since Concubine Xue has stolen the 'Red Fish', but she didn't let Mrs. Li smuggle the 'Red Fish' out of the palace, this means that Concubine Xue secretly hid the 'Red Fish'?"

Jing Niang nodded,

"Well, there's a possibility. However, I suspect that the person who stole the 'red fish' may be someone else, and the snow concubine may have carried the black pot for others. ”

"That's not right."

Xuan Shao suddenly retorted unquestionably,

"If Concubine Xue really made a scapegoat for others, then why did she let Mrs. Li and them escape from the palace? Could it be that she was so kind purely to save their lives? ”

Xuan Shao thought about it again and added,

"According to reliable information from the palace back then, the 'Red Fish' was indeed stolen by Concubine Xue."

Jing Niang smiled when she heard this, and said,

"Hearsay may not be true, the people in the palace back then, including the emperor and his secret guards, who saw with their own eyes that it was Concubine Xue who stole the 'red fish'?"

Xuan Shao lowered her head and thought about Jing Niang's words, and felt that it made sense, but then she had a new idea,

"Could the so-called truth of all this be that Old Madam Li is lying and deceiving Prince Ming?"

Jing Niang darkened her expression with a slightly sympathetic gaze and said:

"Ma Yi's purple worm, also known as 'memory', puts it on a person's forehead, and within half a column of incense, it will sink into the depths of the human brain." Therefore, the name suggests that it can absorb the memory of the human brain and control its temporary thoughts, so the words answered by Mrs. Li in an hour are absolutely not fake, and it is all answered truthfully based on the memory stored in Mrs. Li's brain. It's just that once the 'memory' enters Mrs. Li's brain, it will automatically die with the memory after an hour, so her brain has been damaged, and now it is no different from a dead person. ”
