Chapter 258: Suicide
Changning's eyebrows were grim, and he sat back down.
The old eunuch kneeling under her trembled and said yes, not understanding why Changning suddenly reacted so much.
"Although Your Majesty's message is an oral message, there is a record in the living room, and Your Highness should be able to verify it." The old eunuch deliberately explained in order to prove his words.
Changning looked upright, and his tone became calm: "You were the consul and chief eunuch in the mother's harem back then, why didn't you mention this matter?" ”
Everyone in the world thought that Empress Liu took the initiative to take the princess to meet the emperor, and then she bumped into the assassination, but when she heard this today, it was obviously not the case.
"This ...... The old slave felt that there was no need to say it, and no one had ever asked about it. The old eunuch was a little sneering: "Your Majesty's grief is too deep, and the old slave doesn't dare to mention it." ”
If it causes His Majesty to blame himself, his life will not be guaranteed.
If it weren't for Changning asking him to state the old matter, he wouldn't have mentioned it for a while.
Changning was silent.
Of course, there is no difference between taking the initiative to go in the past and being summoned, even Changning in the previous life would not pay attention to such a detail, but now Changning is different.
She is thoughtful and naturally will not let go of any detail.
If the queen mother was really summoned by her father, according to the rules of the palace, the oracle of His Majesty must also be made public, why did not anyone who heard this oracle among so many people present at the banquet that day.
There are only two possibilities.
Either the father gave an order to let the person who wore the oracle not to make a noise, or someone faked the oracle and deliberately deceived the queen mother.
Either of these two is enough to prove that the death of the queen mother was not an accident.
No wonder the queen mother deliberately dropped her, it turned out that she heard some rumors.
But the queen mother knew that something was wrong, so why did she go.
Changning's brows tightened, and his fingers seemed to roll in waves.
"You should step down first, it's indecent to mention this matter to others." Changning commanded.
The old eunuch is also an old man in the palace, so he naturally understands the rules here.
"Niangniang is as kind to the old slave as a mountain, even if His Royal Highness doesn't ask him, the old slave won't say it." The old eunuch said.
Changning asked him to step back, and everything went on quietly.
This is the benefit of the phoenix seal.
Even if the people in the six palaces are wavering, she is now the person in charge of the six palaces with the phoenix seal in her hand.
Those minions didn't dare to disobey her like they did in their previous life, and they really took a lot of detours.
The wooden kite came in with a tea tray and served tea.
Changning took a sip, still thinking.
It is obviously not enough to have a phoenix seal.
What she wants is to find out everything back then.
Changning tried his best to withdraw himself from the retrial of the Liu family's unjust case, in addition to avoiding suspicion, in order to be able to pull out his hand and find out the real reason why the queen mother replaced him and Liu Huazhang back then.
"Father must know the reason." She muttered.
"What did you say, princess?" The wooden kite immediately asked.
She had been serving cautiously with her ears propped up, but she still didn't hear what Changning said just now.
"It's nothing," Changning said lightly, and glanced at it again: "What about Chunxiao?" ”
"Chunxiao?" The wooden kite also looked around: "The slave maid just saw her sitting in front of the door in a daze." ”
"Daze?" Changning raised his eyebrows.
Yes, Chunxiao is Mo Shilang's daughter, and now the Liu family's case is being retried, but Mo Shilang's case is just a foil, and it is not certain whether it can be cleared.
Changning smiled.
She is a royal princess and a man of her word.
Since he promised her, how could he regret it.
"Xu is taking care of Tiens," Mu Kite said for Chunxiao.
Changning didn't plan to pursue it: "Go find her, I have something to tell her." ”
Now that Song Yisheng is in prison, it is time to deal with the matter of the Mo family's tricks and the Mozi Guild.
"Yes," the wooden kite was about to go, when he heard a commotion outside the palace.
"Oh no, no, Your Highness, a little palace maid committed suicide by hanging the beam!" The palace people came in a hurry to report.
Changning got up and followed.
In the small garden behind Weiyang Palace, a little palace maid hung on a branch, and the shoes on her left foot were all gone, falling into the flower mud in front of her.
"Princess!" Yin Qiao was anxious to blindfold Changning.
Changning shook his head slightly and brushed her hand away.
She's not a child.
"Let her go first." Changning commanded.
The inner eunuch hurriedly stepped forward to take the little palace maid down.
Changning stepped forward in person.
"Princess," Yin Qiao tried to stop, "it's unlucky." ”
Changning waved his hand, "The Qing'an battlefield is still on the ground, how can it be frightened by this trivial matter." ”
She stepped forward and half-crouched to inspect the body of the little palace maid.
The little palace maid's eyes widened, and although the strangulation marks on her neck were rubbed badly, there was only one, which was obviously not hung up after being strangled.
Changning checked again.
"It's a suicide."
The wooden kite gasped in fright.
It wasn't the first time she had seen such gore, but she didn't expect that there would be such gore in this place that she thought was a fairyland.
And so naked.
It is hung in the Weiyang Palace where the queen lives.
Weiyang Palace.
"Who's on duty today?" Changning asked.
"It's not dark yet, and no one sees such a big man hanging here?"
"Minions deserve to die, minions deserve to die." The eunuch on duty in charge of the flowers and plants in the garden kowtowed and defended again: "The slave didn't go outside to get a bucket of water for watering the flowers, and when he came back, it became like this, the slave was really wronged!" ”
Changning looked at him.
There are still traces of water on the placket of the clothes on duty, and there is indeed a puddle of water in front of the moon cave gate in the garden.
It seems that the back garden of Weiyang Palace is well known.
"Have you found out who she is?" Changning asked again.
"Not yet, now I only know that this is not our palace people from Weiyang Palace." The mama in charge said.
Changning glanced at her and raised his hand: "Someone, bring tables and chairs, the palace is here waiting for news." ”
Mama was suddenly frightened and hurriedly urged.
"Hurry up, hurry up, quickly call the people of the sixth palace to identify, which palace is this bad luck thing, and actually ran to Weiyang Palace to find death and life." Mama urged.
Changning sat on the back chair, the body of the little palace maid was at her feet, and everyone who came to recognize it could see the eldest princess drinking tea with weight.
As soon as she got the phoenix seal, such a thing happened in the palace, and she deliberately blocked in front of Weiyang Palace.
This is clearly someone who is blocking Changning and Concubine Qin.
Changning's expression was indifferent, until someone shouted: "Zhu'er! ”
"Which palace are you from?" Changning slowly put down the teacup and asked.
The palace maid who recognized Zhu'er hurriedly knelt down: "See the eldest princess, slave maid, slave maid is from Gyeongbokg, and this pearl is also from our Gyeongbokgung Palace." ”
Changning hummed and waited for the following.
"She, she is Xu Jieyu's palace maid." The palace maid had to tell the truth.
"Xu Jieyu," Changning frowned and looked to the side.
Yin Qiao nodded immediately, it was Xu Jieyu who had been locked in the dark room by her for a day.
"Oh, it seems that this pearl is following Xu Jieyu." Changning said, giving Yin Qiao a look.
"Go and invite Concubine Qin to come over, this kind of thing should be handled by her."
"Yes." Yin Qiao replied.
