Chapter 362: The Lead, the Attendant Who Hanged Himself
Wei Yuewu smiled at Wei Qiufu, and then slowly withdrew her gaze in Wei Qiufu's stiff smile, continuing to pay attention to the changes in the field.
"Who is it?" The queen's maid shouted.
"Yes...... It's here, Father-in-law Zhang Yu with the slaves! A palace maid who was kneeling on the ground trembled and answered, she didn't dare to hope that she still had a way to live, she only hoped that her family would not be implicated.
"Check it out!" The queen also heard this, her face turned cold, such a ceremony is also a very important thing for her, and now that such a thing has happened, the queen, who is the master of the harem, also feels very shameless.
Tu Zhaoyi's face was hidden in the darkness, and she looked coldly at the queen mother's reaction.
An attendant hurriedly ran down, the so-called father-in-law Zhang Yu is in the royal ancestral hall, and he doesn't need to go far, just go to the side and bring it over.
The main hall continued to interrogate: "Why do you think he is suspicious?" ”
"Father-in-law Zhang Yu was not in charge of clothes and other items, but at noon yesterday, he came to tell the slave maid that he wanted to see the colorful clothes of the third princess, and the slave maid thought that this matter was nothing, so he took him over to take a look, and then someone happened to come over to call the slave maid, and the slave and maid walked away a little, and when he came back, Zhang Yu's father-in-law left."
"The slave opened a few boxes a little, and found nothing unusual, so she took the boxes and walked out." The palace maid holding the red clothes was obviously the leader of this group of palace maids, and after thinking about it at this time, she replied in an orderly manner.
"The slave maid saw Zhang Yu's father-in-law...... Go out with a suitcase in the afternoon! Another palace maid also thought of something, and said hurriedly.
"The slave and maid also saw it, and when he came back, the slave and maid asked him where he went, and he panicked, as if he couldn't answer for a while!" Another palace maid also spoke.
For a while, you said a word, I said a word, and it was almost certain that there was indeed something wrong with this chamberlain named Zhang Yu.
It is very likely that he stole those two sets of clothes, but he is an internal servant, and he can't wear such clothes, so what's the use of taking them?
Wei Yuewu had been standing in the crowd, with the same surprised look on everyone's faces, only when her long eyelashes flashed slightly, she hooked a touch of coldness at the corner of her lips, and her eyes fell on the two palace maids who were full of despair and death.
In order to steal himself, he really did everything, whether it was the chamberlain named Zhang Yu or these two palace maids, they were the first people to die on it.
The person who did it was really vicious, and a few words would make people die without a place to be buried, and people could not see anything vicious.
Compared with those arrogant and domineering, this method of killing people without seeing blood is more vicious!
The attendant sent by the queen mother hurriedly ran over after a while, and then went to the queen mother's side and reported in a low voice: "Queen mother, Zhang Yu hanged herself in her room!" ”
"Dead?" The queen was stunned and looked at the emperor who was standing beside her and also heard this.
The emperor's face became gloomy.
"Let people find out, how did they die, how long have they been dead, but there are traces of outsiders!" The queen mother sharply instructed the waiter, "Let people ask if anyone has seen where Zhang Yu went?" ”
Of course, Queen Tu didn't believe that this chamberlain named Zhang Yu hid such clothes because she wanted to wear them.
Only women like that kind of dress, how could he, an in-house servant, not a woman, risk his life to steal such clothes.
"Yes!" The chamberlain hurried down again.
The three princesses came and walked in front of the emperor and queen, only to shout: "Father, mother!" ”
Tears have fallen from the corners of her eyes, but she still barely showed a smile on her face, and anyone who saw it felt that she was both sensible and generous: "Father, mother, now, I can only sacrifice these clothes to the mountains and rivers first, although there are two sets missing, there are at least twelve complete sets of clothes!" ”
Finding that she was crying, the third princess hurriedly turned her head, wiped away the tears in her eyes with a handkerchief, and tried to smile brighter.
didn't care about anything, and didn't shout loudly for the emperor and the queen to investigate, just wronged himself and worshiped so simply.
The women's ceremony is the most important thing in life, not to mention the royal princess, and the royal princess also carries the meaning of worship and prayer, how can it be held casually.
"Queen, what do you think of this?" The emperor was sinking like water, and a black face could drip water, and asked in a cold voice.
"The emperor can rest assured, the concubine will let people check it out, and they will never be wronged by the third princess, since there are fewer clothes, the concubine will let people go and get two more sets, but I'm afraid the color will be slightly different!" Queen Tu pondered for a while and said, "The fourth princess has actually prepared several sets of ......."
"Mother, that's mine!" When the fourth princess who was standing next to her heard that she was going to give the third princess the clothes she had prepared, she immediately became angry.
"It's still early for your clothes, it's never too late to do it, but the third princess can't wait!" Queen Tu comforted the fourth princess softly, and glanced at her, but the fourth princess just felt that she was wronged, Ming Ming Wen Caidie's clothes had an accident, why should she take her own clothes, she also wanted to sacrifice to the sky.
"Queen Mother, I ......" The fourth princess wanted to argue again, but was directly interrupted by the crown prince Wen Tianyao: "Then so be it, come on, go to the place where the fourth princess is preparing for the ceremony, and bring two sets of clothes, if there is no pure blue and purple, it is okay to be close." ”
The third princess prepared a seven-colored rainbow dress that symbolized the rainbow in the sky, while the fourth princess prepared a set of twelve-colored clothes based on the twelve months of the year
When the chamberlain behind the prince heard this, he retreated, and hurriedly looked for someone to get the clothes of the fourth princess.
"Big brother!" The four princesses' aggrieved tears were about to fall, and they glared at the third princess indignantly, thinking that it was all caused by Wen Caidie herself, but in the end, she let herself be wronged, which has been the case since she was a child.
It's obvious that Wen Caidie is not good, but everyone is on her side, even her eldest brother and mother's queen are on her side.
"Queen Mother, Brother Huang, there is really no need, the fourth sister's clothes are also complete, and if you take out two of them, I'm afraid it won't be good!" The third princess said softly with tears in her eyes.
"Needless to say, your fourth sister's matter is still early, and there is still more than a month!" The emperor waved his hand and gave the order decisively.
The fourth princess originally wanted to say something, but when she saw her mother's cold gaze and the emperor's unhappy face, she had to grit her teeth and endure it.
"Thank you father and mother, the fourth sister is mine, and when this is over, I will send someone to supervise the fourth sister to make clothes, and I will make the fourth sister's clothes the same as before." The third princess politely thanked the emperor and queen, and then said to the fourth princess with humility.
But the fourth princess almost broke out when she said this, what did she say to send someone to supervise, she wouldn't send someone to supervise, as if the third princess sent someone to watch, she would do a little better, and her own people would not necessarily be able to do a good job.
However, the fourth princess just glared at the third princess hatefully, but didn't say anything.
There was a battle between the two princesses of the royal family, which fell on Wei Yuewu's eyes, the bottom of her eyes was slightly deeper, the third princess blindly pretended to be weak, and it seemed that the fourth princess was tightly suppressed, but with the temperament of the fourth princess, how could she suppress it if she wanted to.
Wei Yuewu believes that if the emperor is not there at this time, the current situation will inevitably be different, and the emperor cannot keep an eye on everything in the harem.
The two sets of clothes of the four princesses were quickly taken, and although they were a little different, they basically looked similar.
So the fourteen sets of clothes were stacked on top of each other, and the third princess took a small fire stick from the monk's hand, and set the clothes on fire, and immediately the sets of gorgeous clothes were caught in the thick flames.
It didn't take long to burn before it turned to ashes!
At this time, the chamberlain sent out by the queen mother to investigate the matter also returned, and walked to the queen's side and replied in a low voice.
"Niangniang, the slave has inquired, Zhang Yu, the minion went to Chuxiu Palace with a suitcase before, and I heard that he was looking for the sixth and fourth ladies of the Huayang Hou Mansion, saying that they were sending pastries to them for Zhaoyi Niangniang, and then left in a hurry."
"Sister, did you send pastries to the two young ladies of Huayang Houfu?" The queen turned to Tu Zhaoyi on the side in surprise.
"Sister, sister...... My sister doesn't have it, even if my sister wants to give pastries, it can't be given to only the two people in Huayang Houfu, and my sister can go to check, the one called Zhang Yu, my sister has never seen it. Tu Zhaoyi raised her eyes and replied gently and blankly.
The third princess is her biological daughter, and it is rare for Tu Zhaoyi, as her biological mother, to maintain such a solemn demeanor at her daughter's ceremony.
"Queen, this matter should have nothing to do with Tu Zhaoyi, I'm afraid that the dog slave deliberately used her name to do such a thing." The emperor looked at Tu Zhaoyi with a lot of pity on his face, and said to the queen on the side.
The long bead curtain of the nine crowns on his head, covering his face is also bright and dark, from this angle of Wei Yuewu, he only sees a majestic middle-aged man, or because of the lighting, that side actually feels a little familiar inexplicably, as if it is not the first time to see it.
But when you look closely, it is clear that it is a middle-aged man who I have never seen, and after I entered Beijing, I have not seen many people, and there is no such a majestic middle-aged man in my memory.
Lowered his head slightly and hid the doubts in his eyes, is it because of Prince Wen Tianyao? That's why you feel that the emperor's side feels a little familiar?
"Call the two young ladies from the Huayang Hou Mansion over!" The queen raised her eyes, her gaze fell coldly on Wei Yuewu's body, and commanded.
