Concubine Yu never imagined that Princess Pingle was dead.

The snow outside the house had stopped, and it was very cold, and the branches and floors were covered with snow, and it was cold everywhere you went.

The palace maid Xiaohong said that there were still a lot of palace people around Princess Pingle, and after a cursory glance, there should be more than a dozen, but Xiaohong walked in a hurry and didn't notice how those people died.

It stands to reason that not anyone can walk in the palace with a sword, but there are some blood stains on the snow, which makes Xiaohong dare not make up his mind easily.

Xiaohong placed Princess Pingle's body in the side hall, she whispered in Yu Guifei's ear, Yu Guifei's face suddenly changed greatly, and without saying a word, she took Xiaohong to the side hall.

Queen Xia glanced at the back of Concubine Yu Guifei who was leaving in a hurry, beckoned the ladies present to continue watching the song and dance, and then followed with Dong Chan.

There's a good show to watch, how can she not go?

What's more, this is still a good show for Concubine Yu and Princess Pingle.

Chen Zhiyi also followed.

There is a stretcher on the side hall, and the one lying on the shelf should be Princess Pingle. said that it should, because the deceased's body was covered by a white canvas, and she couldn't see her eyebrows clearly, but it was easy to guess that it was most likely Princess Pingle.

"What's going on?" When Queen Xia saw that Concubine Yu suddenly pounced, she cried bitterly, so she looked up and asked Xiaohong.

"The queen mother, the slave doesn't know either!" Xiaohong really didn't know, "When the slave maid took people to look for Her Royal Highness the Princess, she passed through the Mei River, and then saw many corpses nearby, and the slave maid asked someone to dispose of the corpses, and then carried Her Royal Highness the Princess back. ”

Chen Zhiyi stood silently behind them and listened, becoming more and more sure that his sister and Brother Jin had something to do with this matter.

Chen Zhiyu comforted himself, his sister was so smart, she would definitely be able to think of a way to get out.

It is always so dangerous to enter the game by himself, so Xie Fanghua has always used others to achieve his own goals.

I just don't know what she'll do this time.

Concubine Yu cried for a while, and after venting her feelings, she began to sob, her favorite adopted daughter died, she couldn't even care about face, even if Queen Xia was present, she couldn't help crying.

Xiaohong hurriedly went to help Concubine Yu get up, Concubine Yu washed her nose and asked, "Has Your Majesty been informed of this matter?" ”

Xiaohong nodded, "I have already sent someone to tell Your Majesty, I think Your Majesty will come soon." ”

The emperor was in a very good mood, but as soon as he heard that Princess Pingle had been killed, his smile suddenly stiffened on his face, and the cup in his hand seemed to be deformed by him.

Princess Pingle is not his own daughter, but he has watched her grow up.

Today, Princess Wang Shu gave birth to his first child, but Princess Pingle died today!

Can the emperor be in a good mood? Can it be good?!

He left a group of people behind and hurried to Yongqing Palace, leaving a group of people looking at each other, even Yu Wu and Yu Shangshu didn't know what was going on, so they could only sit and wait for the emperor to come back.

After a short time, Sheng Zong turned back and said that His Majesty had invited General Murong to go.

What are you asking General Murong to do?

I don't know.

Even Murong Jin didn't know why the emperor wanted him to go—Murong Jin didn't believe that the emperor had suspected him, after all, he had already explained and dealt with the matter when he came to Qiu Ning Pavilion, and it was impossible for him to be discovered.

Xie Eran felt that something was wrong, but it was not easy to follow, so he only asked Brother Jin to be careful.

In the side hall of Yongqing Palace, Concubine Yu Guifei stood beside Princess Pingle's body, and the white canvas covered Princess Pingle again, probably at the mouth of the heart, and the dark red color could be faintly seen.

"What's going on?" When the emperor came, the first thing he asked was this.

The emperor has always had a salty and indifferent attitude towards this daughter, but she is a princess, even if she is an adopted daughter, she is also a person in the palace, and now she died for no reason, or died on the birthday of the eldest prince, no one will be happy.

He briefly examined the body of Princess Pingle and told the emperor, "Back to Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness the princess has been choked by someone, and it seems that she was stabbed to death with a dagger. ”

"What do you mean? Was he strangled or stabbed to death with a dagger? The Emperor frowned.

"Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness the princess has traces of being pinched in the neck, but the fatal blow was still stabbed to death by a dagger." "In addition, the time of the princess's death is about before a stick of incense. ”

Before a stick of incense?

The emperor and the others did not have doubts, but Chen Zhiyan was suspicious.

What do you mean?

Chen Zhiyi met Murong Jin to chase and kill the palace maid an hour ago, right? If her idea is not wrong, Princess Pingle should have died at about the same time as the palace maid.

But why do you say a stick of incense before you say it?

That's impossible.

No, not impossible.

Chen Zhiyan raised his head and looked at Murong Jin - thinking that Brother Jin already had a countermeasure. When he looked at the work again, Chen Zhiyi felt that this person might have been bought by Brother Jin.

Thinking of this, Chen Zhiyi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"A stick of incense?" Concubine Yu thought for a while and felt that something was wrong, "But Pingle said that he would definitely arrive at Yongqing Palace on time, the banquet lasted for more than an hour, but Pingle died before a stick of incense, which makes no sense!" ”

He touched his gray beard, and when he heard the words, he said to Yu Guifei: "Guifei Niangniang, Weichen will not make a mistake." What's more, Her Royal Highness the princess may be playful for a while, so she missed the time. ”

Concubine Yu screamed, "Missed the time? Pingle has always been filial, how could he miss the time? Liu Yanzuo, could it be that you misjudged but didn't dare to admit it, right? ”

The emperor looked at Concubine Yu's gaffe, and his mood became even worse, "Concubine, you don't know how long Liu Yan has been doing this business, he won't make a mistake." ”

The emperor said it tactfully, but Concubine Yu listened to it very strangely.

After a while, Xie Fanghua also came with Qingzhi, "I heard that something happened to Princess Pingle, so I hurried here, what happened?" She walked up to the emperor and saluted.

Empress Xia probably described it to Xie Fanghua.

Xie Fanghua nodded thoughtfully, ignoring Chen Zhiyi's gaze, walked in front of Princess Pingle, and glanced down, "Have you found the murderer?" ”

"Not yet." Empress Xia shook her head.

Queen Xia has always disliked Princess Pingle, she is arrogant and domineering, relying on the power of the Yu family to always do nonsense, and now that she is dead, Queen Xia is still happy.

Concubine Yu suddenly threw herself down to the emperor's side, and tears poured out at once, "Your Majesty, today is the birthday of the concubine, but Pingle was killed for no reason, Your Majesty, you want to be the master for the concubine and Pingle......"

The emperor tugged at the corners of his clothes and did not answer Concubine Yu.

Concubine Yu was anxious and cried even harder, "Your Majesty, Pingle's life is so bitter......"

Chen Zhiyi felt that these people were really strange. For example, this Concubine Yu, where did Princess Pingle die for no reason, she offended so many people, who knows if it would be an enemy who killed her.

Now that Concubine Yu is crying here, Chen Zhiyi feels that the contents of her stomach are almost digested, but she didn't eat anything just now, and she was worried about her sister and Brother Jin, and now it seems that her worries are a little redundant.

"Xie Fanghua, it must be Xie Fanghua's hand!" Concubine Yu suddenly jumped up and threw herself down to Xie Fanghua, but fortunately she was stopped by Qingzhi.

Concubine Yu said: "Your Majesty, Xie Fanghua and Pingle have always been at odds, Pingle died as soon as he was released from house arrest today, it must be Xie Fanghua's ghost!" ”

Chen Zhiyan still thinks that Yu Guifei can have any reason, what is the result wrong?

Then she and Princess Pingle are not on the same plate, why don't you say that she killed people, not to mention, there are too many people who are not on the same page as Princess Pingle.

The truth that Chen Zhiyan could think of, the emperor could also think of, he was now a little disgusted with Concubine Yu.

Why did she like Concubine Yu in the past, it was because Concubine Yu was empathetic, sensible and caring, but now it seems that she is neither as capable as Queen Xia, nor as calm as Xie Fanghua, why did she spoil her so much in the first place!

The more he thought about it, the more he thought about it, the emperor was still thinking, if he didn't favor Yu Guifei so much, I'm afraid Yu Guifei wouldn't rely on this favor to be lawless in the palace, right?

Now that the adopted daughter is dead, half of the reasons are due to Concubine Yu.

The emperor spoiled Concubine Yu for lawlessness, and Concubine Yu spoiled Princess Pingle for lawlessness!

"Concubine, calm down!" Seeing Concubine Yu struggling with Qingzhi, the emperor couldn't help but shout angrily, and his brows furrowed into the word "Sichuan".

"Your Majesty, how do you let your concubines calm down?" Yu Guifei's eyes were red, but she didn't dare to say the second half of the sentence.

What is the second half of her sentence?

Only she knows.

She has never had a biological child, but Princess Pingle, who has been raising her for more than ten years, was suddenly stabbed to death on her birthday, and on the same day, Concubine Wang Shu also gave birth to a son, how could she be happy!

The emperor looked at Concubine Yu's appearance, of course he understood her, he had spoiled her for so many years, how could he not understand her?

"What do you think about this?" The emperor turned to Murong Jin and asked.

"Wechen doesn't dare to say anything." Murong Jin made a move.

"Just say it, I just want to hear opinions." The Emperor rubbed his head, feeling the pain on the left side of his head start again.

In Qiu Ning Pavilion, a person suddenly appeared next to Yu Shangshu.

It's a shadow.

As soon as the shadow came, Yu Shangshu got up and went out.

Xie Eran stared over there, and saw Yu Shangshu suddenly leave with a person, and was suspicious in his heart, but seeing that Yu Wu was still sitting on the opposite side with a calm and calm attitude, he didn't dare to get up and follow.

"What's going on?" Out of Qiu Ning Pavilion, Yu Shangshu asked Liying.

"Lord Shangshu, something happened to the concubine Niangniang." Liying frowned and said, "Princess Pingle was assassinated and killed, and the noble concubine Niangniang is in the side hall of Yongqing Palace and is upright with Your Majesty. Xie Zhaoyi and Empress Xia were also there. ”

"What did you say?" Yu Shangshu's eyes widened, but he quickly calmed down, thought for a long time, and his fist was "clicked" by him.

Yu Shangshu's fist hit the trunk of the tree next to him at once, and the snow on the branches fell at once, falling on the heads of Yu Shangshu and Liying.

Yu Shangshu's eyes suddenly became violent, he snorted coldly, and ordered Liying to do something.

Liying was stunned for a moment when he heard Yu Shangshu's command, but quickly reacted and hugged his fists.

"Xie Fanghua......" Yu Shangshu said hatefully, his fist was still on the trunk of the tree, the trunk was soaked with snow, and the fist that Yu Shangshu hit on the tree was stained by the wet tree again.
