Mrs. Xiaowei was indeed frightened when she came, and secondly, she didn't take Chu Ning as an ordinary night palace person, so she had to drag Chu Ning to sleep with her at night, and she talked to her in the middle of the night before she fell asleep in a daze.
I don't know how long I slept, there were bursts of noisy and noisy sounds outside the hall, Mrs. Xiaowei was awakened by this sound first, and woke up Chu Ning, who was sleeping beside her, three times and two times. When Chu Ning opened his eyes, it was still pitch black, and even the candles that were originally burning in the room had been burned out, but the sky had not yet dawned.
She got up and put on her robe and wanted to go out to see what was going on, but Mrs. Xiaowei grabbed her again, her palms were cold with fright, and she didn't say anything to let her go. Chu Ning had no choice but to change the wax again, and shouted to the rough palace maid outside to come in and ask what was going on.
The palace maid who came in also looked pale and frightened, trembling and kneeling on the ground, it took a long time to say a word, Chu Ning asked a few times, and only then did she understand from her upside-down words that on this night, there was another palace maid in the palace who died innocently.
These quasi-inner priests originally entered the palace for this matter, and since it happened again, Chu Ning should go and take a look. Mrs. Xiaowei held her hand so hard that she was about to cry, begging her to go again after dawn. Mrs. Xiaowei begged, and even King Qi often refused, so Chu Ning had to accompany her until it was getting bright, and then she went out.
This time, the murder happened in the dining room, and the deceased was a rough palace maid who was responsible for cleaning and cleaning, just as Mrs. Xiaowei said, a young girl who had not been in the palace for a long time. The palace maids in the palace of the Eastern Qi Dynasty, some of them were brought back prisoners of war from various wars in the past few years, and some of them were bought, and this dead palace maid was a native of Lindu and was sold into the palace by her family.
When Chu Ning arrived, the murder scene had been simply handled, and she was not interested in the work she was doing, so she only inquired from the mouth of the palace maid, and knew that the palace maid was often bullied by the old people in the dining room because she was a newcomer, and handed over the dirty work to her. When he was found, he was lying on his back on the stove, his chest was cut open, and his heart was gouged out and gone.
After listening to those palace maids, Chu Ning was a little glad that Mrs. Xiaowei tripped herself, and it was better not to see such a bloody scene.
It's not the first time something like this has happened, and the locations are different, but they are all young palace maids who have their hearts cut off. Knowing that there would be no result, the palace guards still routinely asked in front of the queen who had come to the dining room, whether there was anything unusual about the deceased before his death, and so on.
Unexpectedly, this question really asked something.
A eunuch in the dining room identified Su Jinyao as having come that night and said that he would use the beans he brought to boil some water to drink.
With such an introduction, among the newly quasi-inner priests, some people also said that on the night they entered the palace together, Su Jinyao was once sniffed by the empty fox for abnormalities, so it seems that she is indeed a little suspicious.
The queen remained as quiet as ever, and only asked Su Jinyao: "What do you say yourself?" β
Su Jinyao knelt down in front of the queen and replied: "I was injured a few days ago, and I was incorporated by the worm, and then I was cured by the method of attracting blood from my relatives. As for the fact that I came to the dining room last night to boil water, it was also related to this incident, those beans have the effect of detoxifying and strengthening the body, and I have been drinking them when I am at home. β
She presented the rest of the beans to the queen, who handed them over to the palace people around her who were well-versed in medicine and magic techniques to check, and there was nothing unusual.
Looking at the queen's expression, most of them believed Su Jinyao's words, but some people in the crowd stopped doing it: "I'm not familiar with Miss Su's family, but it's just a matter of facts, and if it's wrong, please bear with me." was first sniffed out by the empty fox as abnormal, and then went to the scene of the murder, Miss Su prevaricated with an old injury that had not healed, is it too light? It's not without coincidences in this world, but if they all come together, I'm afraid it's time to investigate carefully. β
Chu Ning glanced at it, and the girl who spoke had a goose egg face and red danko painted on her nails, and was the daughter of a civil official in the court, whose name was Chang Ruoyu.
As soon as her words fell, someone immediately answered: "I think what this young lady said has some truth, since we have now been ordered by the king to investigate this matter, we should dig up the clues and not just throw them away." β
These girls said a sentence from east to west, and Chu Ning's two eyes turned sore. It's an acquaintance who can speak, it is Gu Caiwei who always followed Xue Niannian in the past, the prince Jiang Chengqi died, the Xue family has deep roots and big leaves, and it is still an unshakable famous family, but people like the Gu family, who are attached to the prince, have become the objects of others. Without Xue Niannian's support, Gu Caiwei was even more sharp and mean.
She squinted her eyes and glanced in the direction where Chu Ning was, and said: "Didn't the Su family say before, this young lady is a true phoenix life, and she can cause the spirit stone to vibrate and roar, such an unusual character will definitely not be easily knocked down by suspicion, maybe you can find the real murderer from here." β
Gu Caiwei mentioned the true phoenix life at this time, it was obvious that she didn't have any good intentions, before the new prince was clear, no matter who Miss Su talked to about marriage, she was suspected of plotting against her.
Chu Ning originally felt that this matter had nothing to do with him, so he listened silently, and still had the intention of watching the excitement, planning to hear what Su Jinyao had to say. But as soon as Gu Caiwei pulled out the matter of the True Phoenix Destiny, she couldn't continue to endure it, if Su Jinyao was pulled into the water by them, the Su family would only be left with her who was suspected of being the True Phoenix Destiny.
She remembered Su Sirong's intimacy on the first night of entering the palace, and suddenly understood her intentions, if the daughter of the Su family with a true phoenix personality can kiss her son, then Jiang Cheng'an can try again in the battle for the throne. At this moment, she sincerely wants to give up the "honor" of the true phoenix life to Su Jinyao, she doesn't want to be close to the son who hasn't said a word so far, and she doesn't want to live a lifetime with Su Sirong, who can see through other people's minds at any time.
Thinking of this, Chu Ning spoke: "The reason why a coincidence is a coincidence is because it is not common, and we have all heard that the murder of the palace maid who was dissected and died has happened more than once, but we people have only entered the palace for one night, could it be that the past few times, there were also Miss Su family present?" If not, would everyone have eaten the food cooked in this dining room yesterday, would they also be suspicious? β
Gu Caiwei sneered: "I didn't know that the relationship between the two young ladies of the Su family was already so good." The palace maid's heart-to-heart murder has indeed happened more than once, and it is true that we have just entered the palace, but this murderer is obviously superb, and he can successfully avoid the layers of guards in the palace. β
Chu Ning raised his eyebrows: "According to you, torture her first and see if there are any clues?" "Each thing has its own reason, and one or two sentences can't be explained clearly, so you can only muddy the water first.
"That's enough," Queen Qi didn't say anything in a low voice, but she stopped the two of them with great majesty, "You are all quasi-inner priests who have been selected through layers of selection, and what do you look like when you quarrel around." β
Things are indeed a little tricky, and the queen, who has always been resolute, pondered for a moment, sighed, and said, "I have to take care of Miss Su first, if there is another murder during this period, it will be proved that Miss Su is innocent." "There is really no way to do it, and listening to the queen's intentions, it seems that there is no hope of catching this murderer at all.
When Chu Ning returned to Mrs. Xiao Wei's residence, Mrs. Xiao Wei's eyes almost lit up, and she asked repeatedly, "How is it?" Do you have a way? Hearing her say the situation at that time, Mrs. Xiaowei immediately deflated and sat back: "Alas, in fact, even I want to get it, it must have nothing to do with Miss Sujia, but obviously you people who are familiar with magic have just entered the palace, and this person still dares to do evil, and it seems that he doesn't take you seriously." β
"That's not necessarily," Chu Ning twisted his fingers slightly, "Maybe this person deliberately chose to commit the crime again at this time, first, to intimidate us, and secondly, to create chaos. β
Mrs. Xiaowei sighed sadly: "Anyway, there is no hope." β
Su Jinyao was taken into custody, Chu Ning had to pay attention to this matter, she was forced by the situation, and had to find a way to find the real murderer as soon as possible, if Su Jinyao was framed as a murderer or killed to kill her, it would be too bad.
She always felt that the behavior of dissecting her heart was a little familiar, but she had no clue for a while, the books that Su Tianxin had prepared for her in the past were all left at home and did not bring them, thinking about it, she had to beg Mrs. Xiaowei to come forward again and tell her to forget her worries. Forget the blood of the historian's family, with an excellent memory, she has taken her younger brother to live many years of lonely and cold days, and can only rely on reading and chatting as comfort, her profound knowledge is exactly what Chu Ning needs at the moment.
Hearing that there was a way, Mrs. Xiaowei immediately agreed without hesitation, completely forgetting the unhappiness that had been caused by forgetting the joy, and immediately called someone to ask for forgetfulness.
Forget your worries and think carefully for a while, before saying to Chu Ning: "Actually, I also had such an idea as you, killing people to take hearts, it is more like accumulating strength for some kind of spell, but unfortunately I have read a lot of books, and I have never seen a record of such a spell." What's more, the technique is so vicious and cruel, even if there really is, it must be evil magic, and it is not something that normal practitioners should know. β
