"It's hard to say!" When it came to the eldest princess of Changxing, Song Yi smiled and showed a touch of caution between her eyebrows, and after a while, she sighed, "This matter is eight times out of ten. Nine is done by the Wei family: After all, not to mention whether the Queen Mother is the kind of person who is willing to sacrifice her own daughter for her own son, just saying that the Su family has the upper hand at the moment, they can't afford to take the eldest princess of Changxing as an abandoned son now! ”

"But judging from the news that has come out of the palace so far, He Xiuyi has been involved!"

And He Wenqiong's previous attitude has always been more wavering: he doesn't want to completely betray His Majesty, but he is also afraid that the Su family will win in the end, and now he rejects the Su family, which will bring disaster to the family in the future! It was he who took a compromise. ”

"Now that the eldest princess of Changxing is gone, she is the only biological daughter of Empress Dowager Su and the only sibling of King Su."

"He Wenqiong's biological daughter was involved in this matter, and it is difficult for He Wenqiong not to worry: in the future, after King Su ascends the throne, he will bring up the old matter again and avenge his sister!"

"After all, that's what the first emperor did back then - the concubines who treated the first emperor's compatriots and sisters badly didn't end well!"

The husband's family of the eldest princess Chen Guo is the most miserable, because of the eldest princess Chen Guo's self. end, and they later took refuge in Shentu Guifei without doing anything, and were razed to the three clans, along with their classmates and friends, they were involved in a large area;

Like the eldest princess of Lu Guo, the mother of Xu Xioa, who died depressed, the concubine did not end well - Yi Pingbo was fateful, because the eldest princess of Lu Guo had left a son down, for the sake of this son, the royal family just let him be idle at home, and there was nothing wrong with him.

And including Lao Shou Chunbo, the husband of the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, in the early years of the Xianjia Dynasty, there were not too many horses and horses that were tragically lost!

You must know that Emperor Xianjia has five half-sisters, but King Su is just such a sibling!

As soon as the eldest princess of Changxing died like this, how could He Wenqiong not worry that the He family would be counted as old accounts one day?

The bell was a little surprised and said, "But the slave maid thinks that He Xiuyi shouldn't be stupid enough to get involved in the murder of the eldest princess, right?" ”

"I can't say for sure." Song Yi shook his head with a smile and said, "Do you have to have the intention of murdering the eldest princess to harm the eldest princess?" To put it mildly, how many days has He Xiuyi been in the palace? In terms of scheming, means, and connections in the palace, how can she compare with the queen's mother? Maybe she helped the queen hurt the eldest princess, but she didn't know it! ”

Bell said worriedly, "If that's the case, wouldn't King Su be bad?" ”

"It's just my guess, what the hell is going on, we haven't seen it with our own eyes, it's just imagination here, and it's not accurate!" Song Yi smiled and waved her hand, but the solemnity in her eyes did not dissipate much: since Empress Wei wants to use the death of Princess Changxing to prevent He Wenqiong from supporting the Su family, or in other words, Empress Wei wants to use the death of Princess Changxing to force He Wenqiong to stand on the opposite side of the Su family, then it is impossible to give He Xiuyi a chance to get out of this matter!

Because only by nailing He Xiuyi to murder, at least participating in the murder of Princess Changxing, can the goal of Empress Wei be achieved!

Otherwise, now that the Empress Dowager has asked He Wenqiong to investigate the matter thoroughly, how can He Wenqiong not make enough efforts to clear her granddaughter's suspicions?

If he can prove that his granddaughter is innocent, why would he turn against the Su family? simply fell to the Su family, pursued Empress Wei's revenge, and dragged his granddaughter into the water!

Thinking of Empress Wei's methods, Song Yi's eyebrows tightened a little: "But I hope He Xiuyi is a smart person, don't give Empress Wei too many tricks, lest He Wenqiong can't save her!" ”

She and He Xiuyi have only met once or twice, that is when Jian Xubai was still serving in the military department, during the New Year's holidays, as a subordinate, he was going to He Wenqiong's mansion to walk around, and the scene was photographed - except for greetings, they didn't talk much.

Therefore, Song Yixiao didn't know much about He Xiuyi's temperament, and she could only pray that she wouldn't be too stupid and have a chance to get out of Empress Wei's snare.

However, He Xiuyi does not have such ability.

When He Wenqiong was ordered by the Empress Dowager to enter the palace and personally investigate the death of her daughter-in-law, Princess Changxing, a lot of evidence against her emerged-

Especially what Concubine Xue said before her death: "Before Concubine Xue suddenly went to Xuanming Palace to ask for a meeting, she had a separate conversation with Xiuyi Niangniang. The slaves and maids were not present at the time, and they didn't know what Xiuyi Niangniang said to Concubine Xue's master? I only know that the master has been in a trance since she returned to the side hall, and she has also said things such as 'impossible, how could the queen mother do this to me' and 'my family has never had anything to do with the Cui family, how can I be like ......'. The slaves and maids did not know what these words meant, and once they had the courage to ask the master, the master became angry and did not mention it again! ”

"After that, the master of Concubine Xue went to Xuanming Palace, and after coming back, she divided herself for the slaves and maids, and the slaves and maids felt that the situation was not right, so after the master fell asleep, Tete went to the main hall to ask for help from Xiuyi Niangniang!"

"And Xiuyi Niangniang entered the master's dormitory alone to speak, and the slaves and maids were worried, so they had a person who knelt under the palace window and eavesdropped - the slaves and maids knew that it was not in accordance with the rules, but the situation of the master at that time, the slaves and maids were really a little relieved!"

"Because of the heavy wind and snow that night, the slave and maid's companion didn't hear it clearly, only knew that the master was crying, and said to Xiuyi Niangniang, 'What Niangniang told me last time was right, sure enough, Your Majesty was very disgusted with me, such a big wind and snow, I waited outside for so long, Your Majesty not only ignored it, but finally a waiter came out to send me back, it is estimated that the waiter himself saw me pitiful and pathetic, and was moved by compassion, Your Majesty doesn't care how long I stand outside'!"

"And 'even if I was born like that person, but I am not that person, Your Majesty treats me like this, it really hurts my heart'!"

When the palace maid said this, her face turned pale, as if she was frightened by something, and she trembled, "Later, Xiuyi Niangniang persuaded my master that the Tao was ...... The Word is...... The Tao is, 'You can't blame Your Majesty for this, since that person is gone, even the Queen Mother is not in the premise of Your Majesty, who has been in this palace for a few years, who doesn't know Your Majesty's heart? But the Queen Mother specially chose you to enter the palace, and even the Queen Mother was surprised when she saw you, saying that the Queen Mother didn't know about the past, so why did she choose a similar one to block Your Majesty'. ”

He Xiuyi was stunned when she heard this!

She shouted like crazy, "There is nothing at all! I never told Concubine Xue that she looked like a concubine!! Why should I tell her such a thing?! She's had a hard time in this palace, and I'm ......."

"Shut up !!" Behind the screen, He Wenqiong's angry scolding came.

Although the order to let him preside over the thorough investigation was given by the Empress Dowager herself, and the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager both acquiesced, but because this incident happened in the palace, it involved either concubines or palace maids, even if He Wenqiong was old, it was impossible to say that he had direct contact with these people rashly, including his own granddaughter He Xiuyi, these are all people from Emperor Duanhua - so the side hall used to ask questions at this moment is separated by an eight-fold floor carved mica screen.

He Xiuyi and the others outside the screen couldn't see He Wenqiong's expression, but listening to the voice, they could also imagine the annoyance of this military department secretary at the moment, "Let the palace maid continue!" ”

Of course, He Wenqiong wants to help his granddaughter get rid of his crimes, not to mention whether He Xiuyi is innocent or not will determine his next major choice in the selection of the new monarch, just talking about the love of his grandchildren, he doesn't want his granddaughter to bear the charge of murdering the eldest princess in vain!

But this matter can be said to be in the spotlight - he is He Xiuyi's grandfather, so he must show enough fairness and justice throughout the trial process, so that the conclusion he reaches will not be questioned!

At this moment, of course, he would not let He Xiuyi interrupt the palace maid's words.

But the palace maid had actually said something about it, and she wiped her tears timidly at this time: "The slave maid doesn't dare to say that the death of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess must have something to do with Xiuyi Niangniang!" However, everyone in Qibao Palace knows that the master of the slave maid went very painfully, but he groped for a hairpin and stabbed the heart before going - the slaves and maids are still thinking about how desperate the master heard the news before he died, so he was so desperate to die?! ”

The palace maid cried, "The master of the slave has only been in the palace for three or two months!" Master, she's only fifteen years old, she's only fifteen years old!! ”

He Xiuyi was so angry that her whole body trembled!

But after listening to the screen, He Wenqiong said lightly: "This official was ordered to enter the palace to investigate the case, mainly to find out who did the death of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess?" You, the palace maid, have repeatedly mentioned Xue Concubine, this is simply answering the question, and you are deliberately misleading the official......"

"Why should my lord excuse Xiuyi Niangniang because of the love of my ancestors and grandchildren?" The palace maid didn't cry anymore when she heard this, wiped her face indiscriminately, and shouted fiercely, "The master of the slave and maid was originally alive and well, if it wasn't for Xiuyi Niangniang and the master of the slave and maid who told the master of the slave and maid that the concubine Cui Jianpian had those who had it, why would the master of the slave and maid be so young?" ”

"As for the adult saying that this matter has nothing to do with the death of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, the slave maid feels that the adult is too partial to Xiuyi Niangniang - the master of the slave and the maid has no grievances and no enmity with Xiuyi Niangniang, what should Xiuyi Niangniang do to find a way to force the slave and maid to death? The slave thought about it, this must be because what Xiuyi Niangniang really wanted to deal with was actually the Queen Mother! ”

"It's a pity that the master of the slave would rather die than be used by Xiuyi Niangniang, so Xiuyi Niangniang had to do it herself and murder Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to take revenge on the Queen Mother!"

He Xiuyi couldn't wait to pounce on this palace maid who was full of nonsense!

She didn't care about being scolded by He Wenqiong, and shouted loudly: "! You said that this palace and Concubine Xue have no grievances, so what kind of grudge does this palace have with the Queen Mother, and you need to murder Her Royal Highness the eldest princess as revenge?! ”

The palace maid said calmly: "Didn't you say it when you persuaded the slave master?" Because it was the Queen Mother who chose you to enter the palace - at that time, the Queen Mother retired to the Changle Hall due to illness and did not ask about the world, and you were able to monopolize the power as soon as you entered the palace! I didn't think that soon after the queen mother was sick, you could only return the phoenix seal to the middle palace! At this time, you are not very willing, a few days ago, His Majesty decided to abdicate for some reason, this matter just came out, you were disappointed and fell ill on the bed, the queen mother allowed your mother to visit the palace, you got better! ”

"But even so, your resentment towards the Queen Mother should not be eliminated, right?"

She turned to He Xiuyi and showed a strange expression, "Otherwise, how could you stand in the snow on the way back to the main hall after visiting the slave master that night, and say, 'I really don't know what kind of plan the Queen Mother specially picked her into the palace in the first place', and 'The Queen Mother, who is high, needs to torture a palace concubine to have fun!?" ”

Looking at He Xiuyi's instantly pale face, the corners of the palace maid's mouth curved slightly, and she said softly, "At that time, the slave maid thought that you went to see the slave maid's master in the middle of the night, and there was only one maid to accompany you back, even if the side hall was not a few steps from the main hall, I didn't worry about it!" So I carried a lamp and wanted to catch up with you to help guide the way...... Who knows, but when he heard such words, he was so frightened that the slave didn't dare to lean forward! ”

He Xiuyi subconsciously grabbed the handkerchief and pressed his chest!
