The Lord of Fairy Grass drowned?

Peng Shi and Peng gradually rushed over one after another, and as soon as they came, they heard people shouting that the county lord had drowned in Xiaojing Lake, and the two handsome faces that looked similar showed surprised expressions.

Everyone was in an uproar, all kinds of speculations and rumors were breeding, and all kinds of eyes fell on He Angelica's face.

At this moment, even Concubine Fang was at a loss. The lord of Xiancao is the treasure of Princess Lin'an, and Princess Lin'an is a female insect who can't be provoked - these two things are common sense in the capital!

Unexpectedly, as soon as the princess left, so many things suddenly happened in the palace, and the east wing where the guest lived suddenly caught fire, burning down the three rooms where Miss Niu Liu lived, and burning the young lady to death. That's not all, Niu Wenlan is the princess's guest, and the princess also has to bear most of the responsibility. Besides, there are many daughters of the Taifu Niu family, and if one and a half die, they may not be investigated to the end with the palace, as long as the murderer is handed over, it will be settled.

But as soon as the county lord of Xiancao dies, Princess Lin'an will definitely investigate to the end and pull out all the relevant people to bury her daughter. As long as she thought of the princess's beautiful eyes with a cold smile, the back of Concubine Fang's head was cold.

She exclaimed, complaining that she shouldn't have volunteered to take over the temporary management of the back house, and now the key was still hot before the accident happened. Fortunately, the suspects in the two murders have been caught, and they are obviously waiting for the suspect to confess, and these will be handed over to her right-hand man! Concubine Fang gave a look to the woman in blue.

"Lord Qingning, what else do you have to say? Niu Wenlan and Li Xianqian, do these two lives have anything to do with you? The woman in blue stared at He Angelica with blazing eyes, and there were flames in the depths of her eyes.

He Angelica also looked back at the woman in blue, and suddenly a little smile appeared on his face. "Isn't this Sister Xu beside Concubine Zhou of King Ning's Mansion? Strange way, I look very familiar. How can a slave still serve the masters of two families, and he can also pretend to be an official and ask questions, without evidence, to question a fourth-grade county lord of the imperial court? ”

As soon as He Angelica said this, everyone looked at this woman in blue who had been very active since just now. If you look at her face carefully, she may not be twenty years old, with red phoenix eyes, melon seed face, and rouge, but she is dressed relatively old, with a faint fragrance on her body. The few pieces of jewelry she wears are not bad, and ordinary aunts do not have such a family background.

The people of the palace couldn't help but discuss, seeing that this woman was dressed like a master, she had never seen such a number one person in the palace before, who was she?

The woman in blue said unhurriedly: "Yes, my name is Xu Siniang, and I am Concubine Zhou's dowry girl, but Concubine Fang of Yanwangfu is my cousin." I took a few days off from Concubine Zhou's place, and came to my cousin to fulfill my filial piety, is there anything wrong? Although my status is humble, I can't get the emperor's edict compared to the county lord, but now I am just like you, I am a guest of the Yan Palace. Concubine Fang asked me to cooperate in the investigation of the case, and the county lord is suspicious, so I asked each other to speak, and if there is any offense in the words, I hope the county lord will forgive me. ”

The words are good words, but the attitude is also arrogant. She is just a subordinate of Ning Wangfu, what is the anger of running to Yan Wangfu!

Peng gradually felt resentful, and said with raised eyebrows: "Don't wronged a good person, the county lord of Qingning can't even bear to step on ants to death, how can she kill someone?" What's more, she didn't know the two people who died, if it weren't for Princess Yan's being too hospitable, if she didn't stay for two more days, she would have left a long time ago, and it would be impossible to kill anyone. ”

Under the firelight, Xu Siniang's face had a faint halo, adding a bit of charm to her slightly ordinary facial features. She reminded in a low voice: "Miss Niu who died in the fire is your sister-in-law of Peng Ergongzi, you don't seek justice for her, and you also help the suspect to speak, once it reaches Mrs. Niu's ears, won't she die of sadness." ”

After hearing this, Peng gradually puffed up, his cheeks were like bullfrogs, and Peng Shi put one hand on his shoulder, pulling him to a shadowy corner. "You settle down, use your brain before you speak." Peng Shi attached his ear to teach his younger brother, who was not growing up.

At this time, the second lady of the palace, Zhu Liuran, and the third lady Zhu Guqin came over with sobs, and a person was lying on the stretcher behind the two of them. That dress is familiar to He Angelica, and when Li Xianqian came to her for tea, she wore this butterfly gauze skirt. The stretcher swayed as it moved forward, and the man above dropped an arm and swayed stiffly back and forth with the stretcher.

Zhu Gutan looked back and cried: "Sister! You died so miserably, sister, just leave! ”

Zhu Gutan is the daughter of the concubine, her mother only died last year, and she has always been the opponent of Concubine Fang, and Zhu Guqin is also a thorn in Concubine Fang's side, and she will not let go of every opportunity to stab her. "Don't cry, Miss Three, your own sister is standing there, which sister are you crying about. It's better to collect your tears and help Concubine Ben find the murderer. ”

Xu Siniang said without yin or yang: "It's not difficult to find the murderer, but the difficult thing is how to arrest the murderer after finding her." ”

"Who said she was a murderer!"

A loud bell shouted from outside the garden, it was a man's voice, which caused the women in the garden to be crowded, wanting to see which man had more men in the palace in addition to the two Peng Gongzi who stayed overnight.

The sound of boot soles hitting the ground sounded neatly, more than the sound of a pair of boots. The corners of the robes flashed, and three men in fancy clothes walked in, followed by the chief guard of the palace. In addition, more than a dozen men wearing official clothes "clanged" the door of the east chamber and tightly guarded the iron gate.

Everyone looked at the three tall men with bated breath, the first was Duan Xiaolou, who was a guest here, Duan Xiaolou, who went into the palace with the princess and princess to serve the holy driver at noon today; The second man is a frequent visitor of the prince, and there are also people in the inner courtyard who recognize him, a high-ranking general, wearing black clothes that have not changed for thousands of years, and a cool face that has not changed for thousands of years.

The third person is a man in official clothes in his forties, with an ancient face and a very majestic face, which is more intimidating than General Gao at a glance. His face was tight, and no one in the inner courtyard recognized him, but the head of the palace stood behind him with a respectful face.

Duan Xiaolou strode over, he forgot for a while, and actually hugged He Angelica into his arms in public. He Angelica only felt that two iron pincer-like arms were clasping her, and the big palm pressed her face into her strong chest, and the fragrance of pear blossoms hit the tip of her nose, and then, the surrounding commotion seemed to have all disappeared, and the harsh noise in her head also disappeared.

Duan Xiaolou patted her head distressedly and asked softly, "Are you scared?" Why do you wear so little, but it's freezing? I'm sorry I'm late, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left you here alone. ”

He Angelica rubbed the tip of his red nose and pouted in protest: "Why are you hugging me, let go quickly, how many people are watching here." ”

Duan Xiaolou let go a little, slowly raised his hand, rubbed her cheeks with cold fingertips, and his eyes were as gentle as water. "It's messy here, and the smell is scorching, let Pucao send you to the front hall for a cup of tea and rest." He pulled her hair together, "What about the girl you brought from the Meng Mansion?" I don't even know how to add a piece of clothing for you, and you yourself are careless. As he spoke, he took off his cloak and draped it on He Angelica, tying it into a double bow.

There is a front hall of the main hall in the east wing, which is where the princesses of other palaces live when they stay, He Angelica is very obedient, Duan Xiaolou asked her to go to the front hall to wait, and she took the pu grass and wrapped it in a one-foot-long corduroy cloak that mopped the floor.

She took about three steps, and Xu Siniang immediately sneered: "Is it because I was dazzled and misremembered, or did I have a bad memory?" Isn't the county lord of Qingning the daughter-in-law of the Meng family? She and people other than her husband hugged and hugged in front of our eyes, I don't dare to say this, but she has two lives on her head, and now she says she will leave, how can our palace explain to Princess Lin'an? ”

Concubine Fang echoed: "That's right, Marquis Duan, you really can't justify protecting the county lord of Qingning like this." It's not ordinary people who died, even if you are tolerant, we have to give Princess Lin'an an explanation. ”

"We are here to investigate this case, you don't have to worry, there is time to talk to you." Duan Xiaolou said coldly.

Xu Siniang said unwillingly: "However, the two of you behave intimately in public, and you can't help but say let her go, we don't dare to argue lightly, but Master Hou, haven't you thought about the scene of thousands of people's saliva flooding early tomorrow morning?" The implication is that if Duan Xiaolou lets He Angelica go for personal gain, she will spread the news of He Angelica's misconduct and betrayal of her husband and hooking up with men, and that kind of feeling of being spurned by everyone, He Angelica can afford it.

Duan Xiaolou was stunned, he was just in a hurry just now. In his heart, he always unconsciously regarded He Angelica as a girl who needed to be taken care of by him, but he forgot that she was still the daughter-in-law of the Meng family.

He glanced at Xu Siniang angrily, this woman who did not give up on the accusation that He Angelica was the murderer...... Could it be that she planned all these murders? "I didn't let the county lord go," Duan Xiaolou said coldly, "We are here to investigate the murder case in the palace, this is not the place for questioning." When the situation is clarified, everyone will have to go to the front hall of the main hall to wait for trial, including you. ”

Gao Jue, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "Duan Xiaolou is her brother-in-law, the brother who watched that little girl grow up, these two are brothers and sisters who have a very good relationship." You rude people frightened the county lord, and Duan Xiaolou hugged her to show comfort, how can you let your fingers be dirty. ”

"Brother and sister?"

Duan Xiaolou and He Angelica not far away were obviously stunned, their expressions were captured by Xu Siniang, so they showed a smile with unknown meaning.

Xu Siniang said without giving an inch: "Brother and sister are not brothers and sisters, the adults said it, and we don't dare to refute it, anyway, no one has confirmed it." But a maid was rescued from the fire in the East Chamber, who was the personal maid of the deceased Miss Niu, and the murderer she pointed out was the county lord of Qingning. With such obvious evidence of murder, is it necessary to investigate in depth? ”

"Who said no one proved it." Not far away, another unexpected person appeared, "I can prove that they are righteous brothers and sisters." ”
