In the afternoon court, the spring flowers are lush, but the people who come and go do not want to enjoy the mood at all.

The queen mother fanned hard with the pu fan, and the wind blew away the broken hair on her forehead, making her even more upset and irritable, and she couldn't help but throw the pu fan out and knocked over a white porcelain jar.

The maidservant girl who had been with her for more than ten years heard the voice and walked in, looked at the mess all over the ground, and persuaded, "Niangniang, it's only spring, be careful of the wind!" ”

As she spoke, the maid took the fan in the queen's hand, gently placed it on the table in the distance, and handed over a bowl of white fungus lotus seed soup, and said, "The slave knows that the maid is upset and feels hot, so she specially stewed this soup, you should eat some of it!" ”

The queen mother glanced at the white fungus lotus seed soup, and frowned unhappily, "I can't eat it, take it down!" ”

As soon as the maidservant waved her hand, a young little palace maid walked out quickly, and the queen mother glanced at it casually, sat upright, and said, "You went to see, then Gu Changqing really went to the palace punishment department?" ”

The maidservant nodded, "I did." But I heard that I just looked at the dossier! ”

"I don't know what the emperor thinks. Leave the affairs of this palace to a young man who doesn't even have an official position. The queen sighed and continued, "That's it, Zuo has done a lot of foolish things in the past few years. ”

"But Niangniang, if this Gu Changqing is a stunned boy who doesn't know how to be rude, and finds out about Princess Changshan, wouldn't we have to ...... again?"

The queen mother glanced at her coldly, and the maidservant was silent.

"What can he find out?" The queen snorted coldly, "Besides, that thing is not in our palace in the first place, this palace is just pushing the boat down the river!" ”

"But it's always related to the case! If the truth of this case is clear, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to my mother! The maidservant whispered.

"What are you afraid of, we are not murderers, even if the case is cleared, the big deal is a grounding! However, what is the mysterious nature of the god of goodness doing, and why is she reading the case file? ”

"The slave maid thought, will Princess Changshan want to catch the murderer and ask for merit from the emperor?" The handmaid said in a deep voice.

A hint of uneasiness flashed in the queen's eyes, "What did I ask you to investigate in private?!" ”

"It's been investigated, but there are no eyebrows yet, these five cases are very weird, and there are no clues at all. But until I found those dead eunuchs and palace maids, I saw ugly things in private! The slave said.

"It's useless!" The queen glanced at her angrily, "There have been so many things in this palace one after another, which has made the emperor very angry, if that Changshan finds out the truth first, wouldn't there be no place for us to stand!" ”

"But she's just a princess, even if she's the emperor's sister, the mother doesn't have to care too much!"

"Don't care?" The Empress sneered, "How can I not care!" Changshan is so good to the five princes, maybe what will he say with the emperor? ”

"But didn't that concubine say before she died, don't let the five queens participate in the battle for the crown prince's position!"

"What the dead man says is useful? As long as this Changshan is still in the palace for a day, as long as she is still raising the five princes, the palace will not be able to rest assured! The silk in the queen's hand was caught even harder.

"The cannibalistic palace night banquet picture is in the palace of Princess Changshan, after we released the news of its cannibalism, it has already caused an uproar, such a time and place, what else is Niangniang worried about?" The maidservant explained.

"That's why I'm not at ease." The queen reined in her anger just now, and said with a flat expression, "The saying that the palace night banquet picture will eat people is indeed from the people in Changshan Palace that we guided, but why those five dead people appeared in this painting, none of us know, I'm afraid that this matter will be that Changshan's conspiracy!" ”

"Niangniang suspects that the letter was placed in our palace by Princess Changshan? However, Princess Changshan has always acted brightly, and I am afraid that such a thing will not be done! ”

The queen threw it over with a roll of her eyes, and the maid fell to her knees in a cold sweat in fright, "Niangniang spares her life, it was the slave who said the wrong thing!" ”

"Alright, get up!" The queen said coldly, "If this thing wasn't done by Changshan, it's fine, if it was really done by her, I'm afraid we will be even more passive!" ”

The servant girl got up cautiously, with fear in her eyes, and did not reply, but nodded slightly.

At the same time, Princess Changshan, who was enjoying the scenery on the moon terrace, sneezed twice in succession, and the maid Luo Rong next to her hurriedly stepped forward, "Princess, this spring wind is the most likely to invade the body, and the moon terrace is so high, let's go back to the palace!" ”

Changshan shook his head and said indifferently, "Don't worry, my body is not easy for evil winds to enter the body, and I think these two sneezes are more like who is scolding me behind my back!" Besides, the scenery of this moon terrace is the best, you look at the peach blossoms in the imperial garden over there, you are looking at the large green mountains and slight dew, how good! ”

Luo Rong looked at Changshan with Changshan's gaze, and really couldn't understand where the beauty of the princess was, so she had to shake her head and say, "The slave is short-sighted, and she can't see where the beauty of the princess is!" ”

"You're stupid, of course you've experienced the beauty with your heart."

Changshan took a piece of pastry and ate it casually, she had lived in the inner courtyard of this palace since she was a child, and she had already learned to imagine the beautiful scenery that she could not see.

"Princess, the Gu who investigated the case is here!" Zehui, who is also the princess's personal maidservant, walked up to the moon platform and said lightly, "If the princess doesn't want to see her, I'll let him leave!" ”

"Have you ever heard the third brother describe him?" The princess put down the pastry and asked with interest.

Zehui and Luo Rong shook their heads.

"The third brother once used "the long body and the distant mountains are green, and the jade tree is in the wind and the moon is bright" to describe this Gu Changqing, I have long wanted to see the person who can make the third brother describe it like this? The princess sat down neatly, "Go and please!" ”

"That Yun Wang Ye is a dashing person, and the person who can make him praise so much must not be simple!" After Zehui walked out, Luo Rong said.

As he was talking, Na Zehui had already brought people here, and Luo Rong's words Gu Changqing also really listened to it in his heart, as soon as they met, he saluted the princess, and said, "It's that Lord Yun is a wonderful person, and the next one is just a layman who is trying to climb up, how can it be worth mentioning!" ”

Princess Changshan looked at the man in front of her who was wearing black clothes but still made people shine with interest, and said incredulously, "You are Gu Changqing?" ”

"It's down there!" Gu Changqing was neither humble nor arrogant.

"It seems that the third brother's words still have some truth, but there are many people with good skin in this world, just like the sacrificial official Luan Chuan, but I just don't know, do you really have the ability to investigate this case!"

Gu Changqing smiled slightly, "The investigation of the case is not said with your mouth, but deduced from the details found in the clues!" ”

"Then it seems that the details of your clue are the princess and me?" Chang Shan'e lowered her eyebrows and smiled.

"There are two main things for the next day. The first thing is to know, did the princess go to the palace punishment department that day? Seen the file of five cases? ”

Princess Changshan nodded without hesitation, "This princess has indeed been there." ”

"That princess has seen the scene of the case where Xu Meiren fell into Shexiangyuan?"

Changshan was a little surprised, "What do you mean?" ”

"Five cases, the scene map of the scene of the five crimes, but it is missing from the Shexiang Courtyard, so I am just curious! After all, the princess has been to the palace punishment department! ”

"Are you curious that I stole it?" Changshan was a little angry. "But I can tell you that Princess Ben doesn't know about this matter, and I didn't see the scene you said when I went to check the file that day!"

"Since the princess said no, then no!" Gu Changqing didn't continue to ask.

It's just that the more calm he is, the more curious Princess Changshan becomes, and she can't help but look at him with interest in her marked peach blossom eyes.

Although she said that she had not seen many men, she also knew that some men were rough-looking, like the big rock on the top of the mountain, which had weathered the wind and rain, some men were more beautiful than women, with delicate faces and good skin, and some men were very handsome, with starry eyebrows and slender bodies.

But Gu Changqing doesn't belong to these at all, he is clean, people can't tell how he looks, just when they see him, they feel that even their hearts are clean, just like the clear sky.

After Changshan sighed again in his heart, he couldn't help but ask, "Since Lord Gu was recommended by the third brother, and the imperial brother was appointed to investigate this case, if you think about it, your ability will naturally not be small, but you don't know this case, how do you want to investigate?" ”

"How do you check?" Gu Changqing was puzzled for a moment, and continued, "It's the first time someone has asked like this, but of course people are investigating the case little by little!" ”

"Then you've heard that this case is likely to be committed by ghosts?"

"There are two kinds of ghosts, one of the living and the other of the dead, I don't know which kind of ghost the princess is referring to?" Gu Changqing asked faintly.
