"Wechen has seen Concubine Niangniang." Su Qingyu entered the hall and saluted.

"General Su is excused, please be seated." After Nie Yan finished speaking, she motioned to Wan Hui to serve tea to Su Qingyu.

Su Qingyu came to Beichen Palace this time under the pretext of visiting Nie Yan. Seeing that Nie Yan was fine, he thought that the palace concubine who was injured by the assassin last night should have someone else, which was completely relieved.

"General Su, please use it." Wan Hui served tea and Su Qingyu said.

Su Qingyu took the teacup, took out the purse from her sleeve and handed it to Wan Hui, motioned for her to hand it to Nie Yan, and then said, "Niangniang, look at this purse, can you find something else besides the embroidery?" ”

Wan Hui sent the purse and Nie Yan over.

Nie Yan took the purse, groped carefully for a while, frowned, and said: "This embroidery needle seems to be different from Nan Zhan, the general can find an embroidery lady to take a closer look." ”

Nie Yan had only seen the patterns on the purse from a distance, but when she pinched the purse in her hand, she found that the stitches and silk threads on it were all from the Chu State rather than Nanzhan.

When Su Qingyu heard this, he was a little more sure of the guess in his heart.

"Thank you for telling me, Wechen will go to investigate, and I will return my mother's innocence as soon as possible." After Su Qingyu finished speaking, he was about to leave.

"General Su and slow! There is another thing that Hongu thinks should be known to the general, and it may help the general find out the truth. Nie Yan said.

Su Qingyu said: "Niangniang, please speak." ”

Nie Yan told the tattoo, but she hid Concubine Yun, and only said that she saw it inadvertently.

Su Qingyu naturally didn't suspect Nie Yan, and hearing that the tattoo resembled a bird's foot, Su Qingyu was even more sure that his guess might be correct.

I didn't care about talking to Nie Yan anymore, so I hurriedly said goodbye and left.

Nie Yan saw that Su Qingyu was leaving in a hurry, thinking that he should have guessed something, and the assassination should be revealed soon.

There was nothing to do, Nie Yanfu picked up the booklet he had put down before and continued to look at it seriously.

Although there are only records of palace concubines above the concubine rank in the booklet, it is enough for Nie Yan, after all, with her current status, the people under the concubine position either have a bad family background or are not favored, and they almost pose any threat to her.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or if Concubine Su has a heart, the first person recorded in the concubine position in this booklet is Concubine Zhao who lives in Beichen Palace with Nie Yan.

Zhao Concubine is from Jiangmen, no wonder there is still a little heroism in her eyebrows, Nie Yan said in her heart.

When I saw the back, I found that Zhao Concubine had a close relationship with Concubine Qi, and Zhao Concubine's father was the deputy general when Zhenguo Gong was a general.

Later, the Zhenguo Gong rose to the top, and the Zhao family relied on the relationship between the Zhenguo Gong and the Zhao family, which naturally rose to the top, and Zhao Concubine's father is now a member of the three grades.

Speaking of Concubine Zhao, Nie Yan naturally remembered that this person had strongly instigated her to move to Qixia Palace, and when Queen Xu talked about Qixia Palace, everyone's faces changed in front of Nie Yan's eyes.

"Suyun, clean up, this palace is going to Qixia Palace to have a look."

Nie Yan commanded.

Since Empress Xu was able to arrange Qixia Palace with Nie Yan before, it means that Qixia Palace is not a forbidden place, and there is nothing wrong with Nie Yan wanting to go to Qixia Palace.

Su Yun quickly packed up, and his shoulder was also waiting outside the Beichen Palace.

Nie Yan put away the booklet and followed Su Yun out of Beichen Palace.

Concubine Zhao of the side hall of Beichen Palace knew the news that Concubine Shu went out, and said, "I don't know what kind of demon I want to do." All of them have caused Concubine Qi to have a miscarriage, and it will not stop. ”

"Niangniang, haven't you already found out that Concubine Qi's fetus was harmed by drugs?" The palace maid beside Concubine Zhao reminded in a low voice.

Concubine Zhao glared at the palace maid beside her, but she didn't continue the topic, but ordered: "Go, prepare some supplements, I want to visit Concubine Qi." ”

The palace maid was a little embarrassed, and persuaded: "Niangniang, last night's assassin was the palace maid next to Concubine Qi, and now everyone is eager to quickly clear up the relationship with Concubine Qi, let's not go, right?" ”

"Smack!"

Concubine Zhao slapped the palace maid in the face and scolded: "What do you know? I'm calling it charcoal in the snow! At this time, Concubine Qi will think that I am her good sister, and when the time comes, there will be the Zhenguo Mansion as a backer, what are you afraid of? ”

Although the palace maid was aggrieved, she didn't dare to say more, so she hurriedly did what Concubine Zhao ordered.

Nie Yan naturally didn't know that Concubine Zhao was ready to unite with Concubine Qi to deal with her, and she was sighing at the copper lock on the door of the Qixia Palace at this time.

I should have thought that the gate of this uninhabited palace should be locked. Nie Yan felt that her understanding of the Chu Palace still needed to be deepened.

"Let's go back." Nie Yan turned around and was about to go back on her shoulder.

But not far away, Wang Zhizheng, the head of the Internal Affairs Office, hurriedly walked towards Qixia Palace.

"The slave has seen Concubine Niangniang, Concubine Niangniang Jin'an."

Wang Zhi saluted when he saw Nie Yan.

Nie Yan didn't expect to meet Wang Zhi here, and Wang Zhi obviously came at her, so she said, "The prince is exempt." I don't know if my father-in-law is in such a hurry, but is there something? ”

The king straightened up, wiped the fine sweat from his head with his sleeve, and replied: "When the slave heard that the concubine was going to Qixia Palace, he remembered that Qixia Palace had been locked, and he was afraid of disturbing Niangniang's interest, so he specially brought the key to the palace lock. ”

Nie Yan never thought that she was blocked by a lock just now, and now someone will come to deliver the key. Since Wang Zhidu brought the key, of course Nie Yan would not refuse, so he replied: "Then there will be a public lock for Prince Lao." ”

When Wang Zhi heard this, he got up and took out the key, but when he arrived at the gate of Qixia Palace, when he saw that he was about to unlock the lock, he said to Nie Yan quite embarrassed: "There is a saying, the slave doesn't know whether to say it or not. ”

Nie Yan was puzzled, but said with a smile: "My father-in-law has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"Then please forgive the slave for talking too much."

The king confessed his guilt, and then continued: "When Niangniang first came to the palace, I am afraid that there are some things that I don't know. This Qixia Palace is haunted! ”

Nie Yan was a little surprised when she heard this, there is a real dragon in the palace, and it will be haunted? In this way, it is understandable that those palace concubines have unkind faces.

Since ancient times, ghosts have always been taboo.

But Nie Yan didn't believe it on her face: "What kind of ghosts and monsters are there in the world, isn't my father-in-law fooling this palace?" ”

Wang Zhi saw that Nie Yan didn't believe it, and he was a little anxious, so he said, "Where do the slaves dare to deceive Niangniang?" ”

"This Qixia Palace was built by the first emperor for the most favored Roufei Niangniang at that time, but because the five princes born to the Rou Concubine Xiao Che five years ago intended to rebel, the first emperor ordered to execute the five princes, and the Rou Concubine Niangniang was eager to save her son, so she left a last word of life for a life, and committed suicide by hanging a beam in Qixia Palace. But the first emperor still gave the five princes to death. Since then, Qixia Palace has been not peaceful, some people say that it is the concubine Rou Niangniang who is unwilling, so she has been reluctant to reincarnate! ”

"Later, for the sake of peace in the palace, the first emperor issued an order to posthumously crown Concubine Rou as the imperial concubine, and also restored Xiao Che, who was originally deposed as a concubine, to the position of prince and posthumously crowned Prince An."

Wang Zhi finished talking about Qixia Palace, but saw that Nie Yan was pale and didn't say a word. Wang Zhi thought that Nie Yan was frightened by the ghost, but in fact, Nie Yan was because five years later, he heard someone say for the first time that the fifth prince Xiao Che had rebelled.

Back then, Nie Yan's father was named a traitor because he was judged to be Xiao Che's comrade! It can be said that everything started because of Xiao Che!
