Chapter 14: Portrait (1)

Lin Daiyu was silent, and frowned for a while: "Even so, you have no basis to associate her death with her late father, maybe she died in the battle for favor in the palace?" "Since the past dynasties, the competition for favor of concubines is not ordinary and fierce, and it is not uncommon for a concubine to die in the palace.

Lin Daiyu didn't know what Zhao Yu's harem was, but the experience of her previous life told her that the imperial concubines were only glamorous on the surface.

"After she died, my upper study was also tossed over." Speaking of this, a trace of anger appeared on Zhao Yu's face, the palace actually made trouble, is this okay?

"Did you lose something?" Lin Daiyu asked curiously.

"It's Ling Zun's secret recital, and the portrait of that Miss Lin Ruoyu." Zhao Yu said, anyway, today he is also out of the way, what should be said, what should not be said, all of them were spit out, in fact, he was also bitter in his heart, and wanted to find someone to talk to, but the huge palace, who did he talk to?

Lin Daiyu didn't say anything, Zhao Yu thought about it, and then said: "The incident happened suddenly, after Concubine Yuan died, I knew that something was wrong, so I secretly inspected, but I learned that Concubine Yuan secretly went to the study the night before she died. So, I hurriedly checked what was missing from the upper study, and the result was that there were a lot of things in the upper study, but there was a lack of Lingzun's secret recital and the portrait of Miss Lin Ruoyu. And ......"

Speaking of this, Zhao Yu paused, but Lin Daiyu was fascinated when she heard it, and instinctively asked, "And what?" ”

"Moreover, because Ling Zun's folds are not easy to see the light, I secretly collected it in the upper study and did not file it, that is to say, but this thief easily took the things directly without bothering, but the other documents were not messed up at all, proving that she did not turn it, but went straight to the goal when she entered the upper study. - The only person who knew that the folds and portraits were stored back then was my concubine. Zhao Yu said in as calm a tone as possible.

But Lin Daiyu could hear it, and there was indescribable anger in his tone.

Yuan Chun is his concubine, and he also knows some things back then, but now, things are lost, and Concubine Yuan is dead, which is equivalent to someone slapping the emperor's face hard, can he not be angry?

"After the incident, I personally searched the concubine's bedroom, but I didn't find the folds left by Ling Zun." Zhao Yu said again.

"Obviously, my eldest sister was held hostage and stole the secret music and portrait, and then the murderer killed the eldest sister." Lin Daiyu speculated that according to Zhao Yu, this was the only possibility.

Zhao Yu nodded and said, "I think so too." ”

"So, do you have a suspicious candidate in mind?" Lin Daiyu asked.

"Yes!" Zhao Yu nodded.

Lin Daiyu was slightly surprised when she saw that he answered so neatly, and asked with a smile: "Who do you think it is?" ”

"King Beijing!" Zhao Yu didn't hide it either, and said bluntly.

"What?" Lin Daiyu was shocked, King Beijing? He has always been good friends with Jia Fu, and he will not kill Jia Yuanchun if he is reasonable, "How can you see it?" ”

"Just a while before Yuanchun's accident, Princess Beijing frequently entered the palace and had a close relationship with Concubine Yuan, I originally thought that they were all my own brothers, and the concubines were harmonious, which was a good thing, but after Concubine Yuan's death, I felt wrong. So I asked Concubine Yuan's personal maid Baoqin, and I learned from Baoqin's mouth that once Princess Beijing came, Concubine Yuan actually sent away all the palace maids and maids, and talked alone for a long time, during which Baoqin once heard that the two seemed to have quarreled. Zhao Yu smiled bitterly.

Lin Daiyu secretly said in her heart: "Even so, this doesn't prove that Princess Beijing harmed Concubine Yuan." ”

"I know what's going on in your mind, so- I had to come to Jiangnan to find evidence." Zhao Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"You came to Jiangnan, it's really too reckless." Lin Daiyu smiled indifferently.

"Really?" Zhao Yu sneered, "For the five million taels of silver that originally belonged to the treasury, it was worth taking some risks." ”

Lin Daiyu was silent, five million taels of silver is indeed an astronomical amount, for such a sum of money, it is enough for people to commit any crime, she herself stayed in Jiangnan, isn't it also to make some money, and the county seal and Fu Wandeng did not hesitate to slap her such a weak woman, isn't the purpose also for money?

People die for money, and birds die for food, which is really good.

The dignified emperor and the supreme can give up the Jinluan Palace to come to Jiangnan for five million taels of silver, so what can't the outlaws do for this batch of silver?

But why did Sun Shaozu come? Is it for this money? What about Baoyu?

Why can he boast - within three years, he will use the world as an employment and the gods as a matchmaker to marry her?

I don't know why, Lin Daiyu instinctively associated these things in Jiangnan with Jiafu.

What kind of means did Jiafu use back then, so that she could be connected to Jiafu without telling the world, and who was the woman Lin Ruhai wanted to send to the palace?

Lin Daiyu took a deep breath and looked at the white expanse outside the window, it was really pink and jade, hiding the ugliness under the soil, and what kind of dirtiness was hidden behind the glamour?

"Have you ever seen that painting?" Lin Daiyu suddenly asked thoughtlessly.

But Zhao Yu still understood, nodded and said, "I've seen it!" ”

"Is it me?" Lin Daiyu asked again.

Zhao Yu shook his head, the portrait that Lin Ruhai sent into the palace back then, although it was only a portrait of a twelve-year-old girl, the form was petite and weak, but her eyes and teeth were bright, and her demeanor was a stunning little beauty. However, that person is not Lin Daiyu in front of him!

Although the girl in the portrait is already the best in the world, it is still not as beautiful as the fairy of the Moon Palace in front of her, and there is a sinister aura in her eyes, which is not something that ordinary women can have.

Zhao Yu didn't understand, how could a golden boudoir and weak willow have such a cold temperament? is like a battle-hardened general, and the killing decision is so commonplace?

Even after she heard such a big secret, she remained as calm as ever, as if the ancient well did not wave!

"If only I could take a look at that portrait!" Lin Daiyu sighed softly, if she could take a look at that portrait, maybeβ€”she would be able to know a little clue.
