The distance from the West Rock Hall to the Shaohua Hall is not far away, and the scenery in the spring is lush, and it looks pleasing to the eye, and the filthy air in the heart is suppressed for the time being.

But this Princess Changshan didn't have such a good mood, she didn't go far, she slowly put down her steps, and together with Gu Changqing, she still asked puzzled, "You said before that Xu Meiren was led to commit suicide because of her previous identity?" But now that she is the emperor's favored beauty, do those identities really matter? So much so that she cares so much? ”

"The princess, as the emperor's half-sister and the youngest daughter favored by the emperor, was born with a deepening of her favor, how can she understand the thoughts and difficulties of the people at the bottom." Gu Changqing stretched out his hand, as if grasping the wind in his hand, and muttered, "The princess has heard that the two most terrible things in life are steep wealth and poverty!" If a person has always been rich or poor, it will not be difficult to accept his fate and live. It is terrible to be afraid that a person who likes the rich will suddenly fall into the dust, and a person who is suddenly poor and lowly will suddenly become rich. ”

"It's really terrible to go from having money to having no money, but what about going from poor to rich?"

"If you don't have anything, you don't expect anything. But once a person starts to have a tael of silver and buys a jug of wine, he will want more silver and more wine! Once lust starts creeping in, that's the beginning of pain! This Xu beauty should be like this, a woman with no dignity who is tortured by life, once she tastes the beauty of life, she will definitely not be able to let go of such beauty, so she will try her best to keep this beauty and not let herself go back to the life she used to have! ”

Princess Changshan slowly slowed down, and her narrow eyes looked at Gu Changqing suspiciously, "But since she wants to keep that secret so much, why did she want to make such clothes to stay, why did she commit suicide?" Isn't that against her own idea of wanting to hide! ”

"What a person has been doing day and night for more than ten years is to be accompanied by dance music, for her, this dance music is not only a medium for her to make money, but also a pillar for her to live, how can a thing that once occupied such an important thing be said to be put down, so Xu Meiren wants to leave a souvenir is also conceivable!" Gu Changqing looked at the deep wall in front of him, paused and continued, "And her suicide, I think someone must know her identity before entering the palace!" A secret that is trying to keep it is a fatal blow once it is known to others. ”

Gu Changqing glanced at Gao beside him, and continued in a low voice, "The minister still has one more thing to ask, the emperor once toured the west, but I don't know that Xu Meiren entered the palace at that time!" ”

The princess turned her head in surprise, stared at Gu Changqing, and said, "Xu Meiren did come back with the imperial brother at that time!" ”

Gu Changqing smiled, "That's right!" I got another thing in Shexiangyuan, and what remained in it was the most commonly used drug in the Northwest, and I suspect that on the night Xu Meiren fell, those palace people who were stunned were exactly what Xu Meiren did! ”

"Xu Meiren?" Princess Changshan stopped in surprise, "That's where you decided to suspect the source of all this!" ”

Gu Changqing nodded slightly.

The cold wind gradually blew, and neither of them spoke again, allowing the silence to spread in the depths of the palace with the breeze!

I don't know how long I walked, but seeing that the distance had at least crossed most of the palace, the group came to the Shaohua Hall where Xu Mei was alive.

The location of the Shaohua Hall is in the northeast, the surroundings are unusually clean, and from a distance, it looks like a beauty who does not fight or grab, with connotation charm and external light.

Princess Changshan stopped in front of the door, looked at this Shaohua Palace, and felt a lot of emotion in her heart, a woman who was loved by thousands of people, chose such a point of no return, after all, it is distressing, but what makes Changshan the most unacceptable is the real reason behind this, is identity so important? Is it so important that you would rather die than face it?

"If the princess still doesn't believe in Zaixia's reasoning, then ask the princess to help find something?"

Princess Changshan raised her head and looked at him suspiciously, "What is it?" ”

"Anything that can prove that Xu Meiren's identity is different will do! If that dress wasn't enough to convince the princess, I don't think Seo Meiren might have had time to deal with that thing that others threatened her!! ”

"How can you be so sure?!"

It's not that Princess Changshan doesn't believe in his reasoning, it's just that it's too difficult for people to believe in such things.

"I'm not sure, I just want to gamble my luck!"

Princess Changshan didn't know if Gu Changqing was telling the truth or a lie, she turned her head slightly, looked at the people she brought, and asked coldly, "You understand, don't you go quickly!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a group of eunuchs and palace maids immediately poured into the Shaohua Hall to look for them, and only the princess and Luo Rong, Gu Changqing, and the little palace maid Xu Mei's life were left in the courtyard.

From time to time, there was a sound of things falling in the Shaohua Palace, sometimes the chair fell, sometimes the porcelain fell, Gu Changqing listened to the harshness, then turned around and looked at the little palace maid, and asked casually, "Think about it carefully, did you Xu Meiren have an unusual time before the accident?" ”

The little palace maid frowned and thought about it, and was about to shake her head but suddenly nodded with a bright eye, and said, "It seems that there is, it was about a month before the accident, Xu Meiren began to talk a lot, and she didn't talk to us much before, she would also make a joke inadvertently, and even ask us some questions!" ”

"Then what questions did Xu Meiren ask you?"

"It's nothing, just ask the ladies in the palace about it. Our beauties are quiet, and since we came to this palace, we don't go out much except to ask for peace, so it's common to be curious about those girls, so we don't care! ”

Gu Changqing knew that Princess Changshan must be listening to them with her ears pricked up at this time, so she tilted her head and glanced at it, smiled at her and continued to ask, "Is there anything else?" For example, have you beauties ever seen any strange people or received any strange things? ”

"The beauty is favored, but she is very different from the ladies of the palace, so the only person who often sends things is the emperor, and there are very few others, I remember really, and there are no strange things coming in!" The little palace maid recalled what happened in the past, and her face was also dignified!

"Are you sure you don't have ......" Gu Changqing casually played with the jade pendant in his hand and asked again.

"There really isn't anything strange coming in, generally whether it's the emperor's reward or the things of the Internal Affairs Office, we have a file here, I remember it clearly!"

Gu Changqing nodded, seeing that the little palace maid didn't look like she was lying, so she didn't embarrass her anymore, just squinted her eyes and raised her head to enjoy the warm sunshine of the spring afternoon.

It's just that Princess Changshan doesn't love leisure, and looking at the people inside, I don't know whether she is nervous or afraid.

After about a stick of incense, the people in the Shaohua Hall came out one by one, and there was also a row of things on the stone table in the courtyard, from bottles and jars, hairpins and jade pendants, to books and paintings.

"That's what you're looking for?" Princess Changshan's face was a little ugly, and she opened her mouth to scold, "Let you find something that can prove that Xu Meiren's identity is different." That's what you guys came up with? ”

"Princess, this Lord Gu only said that he was looking for something that proved Xu Meiren's identity was different, but he didn't say what it was? Besides, there's so much stuff here, we really can't find it?! A little eunuch, bowing his head vigorously, explained.

"How dare you quibble?" Princess Changshan glared, "I don't think you're looking for it seriously!" ”

"Princess, the slave is really wronged!"

The little eunuch was also an old man who followed the princess, and he was also very aggrieved at this time.

Gu Changqing watched silently from the side, waiting for this Changshan to get angry before he stood up and persuaded, "The princess doesn't have to be angry, they are looking for the right thing." You see this hairpin, it's just a simple plain silver, the palace lady naturally can't look down on it, Xu Meiren can keep it to prove that she is different from others.

There is also this painting, others like to paint some Meilan bamboo chrysanthemums to show their noble conduct, but this Xu beauty likes to paint dragonflies. There is also this calligraphy, "The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying, Weijia is returning to his hometown in the sea, and the warriors are guarding the Quartet!" "The elegant and chic writing of Han Gaozu's "Song of the Great Wind" has the majestic style of the world, which is naturally different from the poems of you and me in this palace!"

Princess Changshan's face is getting worse and worse, although Gu Changqing didn't say it explicitly here, but the people under his hands are lazy and incompetent, in fact, they are even more incompetent.

Gu Changqing seriously explained the things on the stone table one by one, and finally carefully picked up a large blue glaze jar, paused, and asked rhetorically without explaining, "Who found this?" ”

A little eunuch immediately knelt on the ground, "Was it found by the minions?" ”

"Where did you find it?" Gu Changqing asked.

"I found it in a hidden compartment in Xu Meiren's bedroom!"

"How did you know there was this in this compartment?"

The little eunuch slowly raised his head, "The slave didn't know that there would be this in the compartment, and he didn't know that there would be a compartment. It's just that the words of the adults just now made me guess that what you are looking for must be a particularly important thing, since it is very important, how can Xu Meiren put it on the bright side. That's why I found it! ”

Gu Changqing nodded appreciatively, turned his head to the princess and said, "This person has a clear mind and a clear condition, and the princess can be reused in the future!" ”

Changshan's face softened slightly, and he said lightly, "You did a good job in this matter, let's follow Luo Rong to do things in the future!" ”

The little eunuch immediately knelt down and kowtowed to thank him, some of them soared into the sky, some of them were mediocre, in fact, they couldn't blame God, they could only blame their own stupidity and laziness.

Seeing that the little eunuch quickly got up and stood still behind Luo Rong, Gu Changqing slowly handed the blue glaze jar in his hand to the princess, and continued, "Can the princess recognize this thing?" ”

Princess Changshan took the thing and looked at it, and said puzzledly, "Isn't it just a jar?" What's wrong? ”

Gu Changqing picked up the jar, looked at the faintly presented graphics on it and said, "The princess doesn't know, this jar has a name in the folk, called the Jade Girl Jar, and the so-called Jade Girl refers to some art skills that do not sell their bodies!" ”

Gu Changqing slowly handed the green glaze jar in his hand to Changshan, "Princess, please look at the layers of lines under this green glaze, but there is a looming human form?" ”

When the princess heard this, she immediately stood up, took the big jar and looked at it carefully for a long time before nodding hesitantly, "It is indeed the figure of several women!" ”

"There are usually only five women on the jade girl jar, who are playing the lute, dancing, chanting, stroking the harp, and making makeup! In the period of the Holy Ancestor, such a large jar was popular among the people, but later due to the suppression of the imperial court, some jade girl jars were improved, and the image of the characters was also covered under the light glaze, which seemed to be looming! Although I don't see much below, it can still be determined that this blue glaze jar is the jade girl jar! ”

"Then how does Master Gu know so much?"

Luo Rong, who had been following Changshan's side, had long been very curious about this Gu who seemed to know everything in the sky and the earth, and when she saw that the princess's face was fine, she couldn't help but ask.

Gu Changqing's face was slightly embarrassed for a moment before he smiled and explained, "It's just that a friend likes to study this!" Nothing! ”

"What kind of friend has a hobby?" Changshan said quietly, and even there was a subtle feeling in the air.

"Since the princess is curious, when he can also enter the palace, I can naturally introduce him to the princess!"

Gu Changqing thought about it, and finally erased Yan Mu's appearance of smiling but not smiling from his mind!

At this time, Yan Mu, who was far away in the inn, sneeze inexplicably, and almost knocked over the water glass that was on the table and wet the open picture scroll!

"But what does what you just said have to do with the case, Lord Gu?" Luo Rong glanced at the princess and continued to ask.

"Because the Jade Maiden jar itself is a thing that does not enter the stream, there is very little production, and the texture and glaze of the jar itself are not perfect, so it will definitely not be a thing of this court. Just now I asked the palace maid beside Xu Meiren, and she also firmly said that there was nothing strange about the items that were sent into the Shaohua Palace. And this jar inexplicably appeared in this Shaohua Palace, and was hidden by Xu Meiren like this, there must be a problem with the origin! Gu Changqing put down the jar, "So I speculate that this jar should have been sent to Xu Meiren by the murderer!" ”

After that, Gu Changqing turned his head to look at the little palace maid beside Xu Meiren, and said, "Who can you see who sent this thing?" ”

The little palace maid looked at the jar vigorously, as if she was trying to find a memory about it, but she still shook her head weakly, "The slave doesn't know!" The slave hasn't seen this jar? ”

"Really?" Princess Changshan asked.

"Slaves don't dare to lie to Her Royal Highness the Princess!" The little palace maid hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

Gu Changqing hated this kind of thing about kowtowing at every turn, so he turned sideways slightly and looked at the jade girl jar again.

In fact, in the folk, this jade girl jar is only a small number of impure people will play with things, and most people are disgusted with it, not to mention collecting, but suddenly this thing in this palace, if you find the root cause, although it is difficult, but it is also feasible.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess, Lord Gu, the slave still has something to say!" The little eunuch who was praised by Gu Changqing just now quickly walked out from behind Luo Rong at this time, bent down hard, and handed the things in his hand to Gu Changqing, "This is what I fell out of when I just found the jar, there were many people at the time, so I put it away, and after being praised by Lord Gu just now, I almost forgot about it!" ”

Gu Changqing and Princess Changshan looked at each other, and then stretched out their hands to take it, it was a note with words written on it - the jade girl face on the jade girl jar, the jade girl in her heart, if it is a good dream of the spring and autumn months, but it is difficult to predict the truth or falsehood of people's hearts!

At the end of this sentence, it is also written in hairpin letters, I know your secret, not only that, but I also want everyone in the world to know.

Gu Changqing held the paper in his hand fiercely, he would never let go of such a person who played with people's lives at will.
