The first to find the scattered corpses were the guards patrolling the palace, when they found the scattered corpses, they felt very strange, although the intrigue in the palace is not uncommon, but it is still rare to kill people in the open, and there are murders.

The guards hurriedly notified the commander of the guards, and the commander of the guards also notified the chief of the palace in the palace as soon as possible, that is, Gu Lengyi.

After Gu Lengyi knew about this, he was stunned for a moment, but he thought, even if there is a little palace maid in this harem, what is the big deal? So I don't think it's any strange.

But when the person who came to tell him had finished describing the appearance of the person who had died, he knew that he was afraid, because he knew clearly from the description of those people that the person who died was definitely not an ordinary person, but a scattered person.

What kind of person is Scatter, she is the most proud celebrity around Jian Huaizhen, if she dies, then how should she explain to Jian Huaizhen? After all, he is the head of this house, although he usually serves the emperor's daily life and diet as the main purpose, but at the same time he also takes care of other miscellaneous matters in the palace, the more he thinks about it, the more nervous he becomes, the more he thinks about it, the more scared he becomes, and after thinking about it, he decided to tell the emperor about this matter first, see how the emperor decides, and then let Jian Huaizhen know.

The death of a palace maid in the palace was not a big deal, and there was no need to alarm the emperor, but the deaths today were scattered, and judging from her wounds, it was obviously a knife killing, and she died from someone deliberately murdering, so who killed her? What would Jian Huaizhen think if he knew about this?

Thinking of this, Gu Lengyi felt cold sweat.

So he hurried to the Qianqing Palace to see the emperor, the emperor was a little annoyed, and suddenly saw Gu Lengyi hurriedly breaking in, so he glared at him and said, "Go out." ”

"Your Majesty." Gu Leng wanted to speak and stopped.

"Didn't you hear me ordering you to get out? Do you dare to disobey my will? Zhu Jianshen was very angry.

Gu Lengyi hurriedly shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, of course the slave doesn't dare." But today, the slave really has something very important to tell the emperor, if the emperor doesn't listen, then the slave doesn't know what to do. ”

"What is it? You're making such a fuss. ”

"Aunt Zero is dead." Gu Lengyi hurriedly said.

"What? Scattered dead? Zhu Jianshen behaved very strangely, but he immediately said slowly: "Isn't it just a dead person, what's so strange?" What's more, it's just a palace maid who died, do you need to report to me in such a panic? ”

"Your Majesty, that's not what you said. Although it is true that Aunt Zero is just an ordinary palace maid, but she is also the most powerful person around the eldest princess, if she dies, what do you think the eldest princess will think? How will you know? That's why the slave came to tell you in a hurry, I'm afraid that something will happen, and when the time comes, the eldest princess will blame her, and it won't be good. ”

After hearing Gu Lengyi say this, Zhu Jianshen was stunned for a moment, Zhu Jianshen lowered his head and thought about it, feeling that what he said was not unreasonable.

That's true, now the relationship between Zhu Jianshen and Jian Huaizhen is not very good, if there is a scatter left next to mediate, it would be better, but now that Scatter is dead, what should I do?

In addition, Zero Luo and the eldest princess have a close relationship, if Jian Huaizhen knew that Zero Luo died suddenly, what would Jian Huaizhen think in his heart? Will she have more heart from now on? Also, why did Zero suddenly die?

After thinking of this, he finally felt the seriousness of the matter, and also felt that Gu Leng Yi was right to report, after all, Gu Leng Yi came to report because no matter what, Jian Huai's disdain may not be as simple as a palace maid.

Thinking of this, he raised his head and glanced at Gu Lengyi, and asked him solemnly: "Father-in-law Gu, I came to ask you, how did Ling Luo die?" Did you get sick suddenly, or was it something else? ”

"It's not for the reasons the emperor said, if it were, the slave wouldn't be so panicked, and she was killed by someone."

"What? Killed? How so? Who dares to be so bold as to kill even the eldest princess's closest palace maid? ”

"This minion doesn't know, so the minion feels the seriousness of the matter."

"Does the eldest princess know about this now?" Zhu Jianshen asked.

"The eldest princess doesn't know yet, the slave is afraid that something will go wrong, so she will come to tell the emperor first."

"Okay, you've done a good job, it's just that sooner or later this matter will be known to the princess, let me think about it, how to tell her is appropriate. I just had a dislike with her last night, and she shouldn't think that I killed her to vent her anger, if that's the case, it's not good. Speaking of this, he frowned, looked at Gu Lengyi, thoughtful.

"No, the relationship between the emperor and the eldest princess has always been close, how could the eldest princess think like this? Your Majesty, don't worry too much. ”

"It's not like I'm too worried, and it's not impossible for me to think so. Let me ask you, when did Zero Fall die? ”

"The guards found the corpse while patrolling, and it didn't reach the minions until this morning, and I'm afraid they were killed last night."

"What is her wound like?"

"It's a fatal knife, according to the minion's opinion, it must have been killed by a martial arts master."

"Martial arts master? Is it a vendetta in the rivers and lakes? But if the rivers and lakes are vendettas, they should also have a grudge with the eldest princess, why would they be angry with Zero? Zero is always just a little palace maid. ”

"There is a saying that the slave does not know whether to say it or not."

"If you have anything to say, why bother."

"The slave is thinking, the eldest princess may have a grudge with the people of the rivers and lakes, and there are martial arts people who come to assassinate the eldest princess, but the eldest princess has strong martial arts, and they failed to assassinate, or there is no way to get close, so they killed Scattered to vent their anger. I don't know if the emperor thinks this inference of the slave can be used as a reference for the emperor? ”

"It's not impossible for you to say that." After hearing Gu Lengyi's analysis, Zhu Jianshen hurriedly nodded: "But no matter what, you have to convince the eldest princess." Forget it, I'd better go and tell the eldest princess about this matter directly. Ay. When he said this, he sighed.

Gu Leng thought for a while and said, "That's okay, the old slave will go with the emperor." So after Zhu Jianshen discussed with Gu Lengyi, he decided to go to Jian Huaizhen in person and explain the matter clearly to Jian Huaizhen, so as not to misunderstand Jian Huaizhen.

Soon, Gu Lengyi helped Zhu Jianshen to get up, and the two of them walked towards Wan'an Palace together, and when they arrived at Wan'an Palace, the entire Wan'an Palace was silent in a dead silence, without any popularity.

Suddenly, the little eunuch who was napping saw Zhu Jianshen coming, he was taken aback, and hurriedly shouted, "The emperor has arrived." ”

Zhu Jianshen waved his hand and said, "No need, I can go in by myself." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After Zhu Jianshen walked in with Gu Lengyi, two palace maids walked out in a hurry, and when they saw Zhu Jianshen, they knelt on the ground with a thud.

Zhu Jianshen glanced at them and asked, "You don't have to worry, how is the eldest princess?" ”

"Your Majesty, the eldest princess is in a very bad mood now, and she is losing her temper inside."

"Why do you lose your temper?"

"The eldest princess has never found Aunt Luo, so she is losing her temper there. The eldest princess has a temper, and we can't persuade it, and we have to be persuaded by my aunt. ”

After hearing them say this, Zhu Jianshen couldn't help but sigh and said, "That's it, you guys go out first, and wait for me to go in and talk to the eldest princess." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The two palace maids agreed, and took two steps back.

So Zhu Jianshen walked in, he saw Jian Huaizhen sitting there, his face was ugly, obviously he had just lost his temper, Jian Huaizhen has always been relatively calm, and it is rare to see her lose her temper today.

After he walked in, he called softly: "The eldest princess." ”

Before Zhu Jianshen's words fell, Jian Huaizhen had already looked up and saw him, and Jian Huaizhen said, "Your Majesty, why are you here?" ”

"Aunt Qiyu, I came today because I have something to tell Aunt Princess."

Jian Huaizhen nodded and said, "Okay, if you have something to say to this palace, just say it." ”

"Aunt Princess, I don't know if Aunt Princess knows about scattered things?"

"Scattered? I'm looking for her and can't find it, what's going on? Jian Huaizhen hurriedly asked, she was already vaguely uneasy in her heart.

"Scattered her, she, she's dead." Zhu Jianshen knew that he would say this sooner or later, so he finally said it to Jian Huaizhen.

"What do you say? You say Zero is dead? How can it be? How did Zero die? Jian Huaizhen was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhu Jianshen, and said in a loud voice.

Zhu Jianshen sighed and said to her: "Actually, it's a long story, this morning, a guard came to tell Gu Lengyi that the body of the palace maid was found in the imperial garden, but after investigation, it was found that the dead people were scattered. I also felt very sad, so I came to the eldest princess and explained this matter to the eldest princess in person. ”

After hearing him say this, Jian Huaizhen was stunned for a moment, and it took her a long time before she said slowly: "Your Majesty, aren't you joking with the palace?" ”

"Why am I joking with Aunt Princess? Besides, how can such a thing be used as a joke? I don't know what's going on, but looking at the methods of those people, it seems that the rivers and lakes are vendettas, can the princess and aunt provoke any enemies outside? He hesitated, but finally said what was on his mind.

Jian Huaizhen shook his head blankly and said, "Even if the palace provokes an enemy outside the palace, where do those people dare to come to the palace to make trouble?" I know who it is, I know who killed Scatter, Scatter, Scatter. Jian Huaizhen couldn't help sighing: "You are so stupid." As she spoke, she spat out a mouthful of blood.

Zhu Jianshen had long expected that something would happen to Zero, and Jian Huaizhen would be very sad, but he didn't expect her to be sad like this, and he vomited out a mouthful of blood, which was indeed very serious, so he took two steps forward and said to her: "The eldest princess, you want to be less safe and not impatient, and it is good to mourn by the way." Since it is not, but judging from the techniques of those people, it is indeed done by people who know martial arts, and even if it is an ordinary guard in the court, they may not have such great ability to have such a clean and neat sword technique. Although I don't know martial arts, I have seen a lot and know a little more. ”

After hearing him say this, Jian Huaizhen nodded and said, "Your Majesty, this palace knows who killed Ling Luo. ”

"Do you know who killed Zero?"

When Jian Huaizhen said this, she kept coughing, the more she coughed, the more she coughed, and her face became very gray, which made Zhu Jianshen feel unusually worried.

Zhu Jianshen looked at her for a long time before he said slowly: Aunt Princess, are you okay? I think you seem to be greatly stimulated, why did your face turn so blue in an instant? And the whole person seems to be a lot older? Are you alright? ”

Jian Huaizhen shook his head slowly and said, "This palace is fine, I'm just poisoned." ”

"What? Princess, you were poisoned? Zhu Jianshen was stunned for a moment, and looked at Jian Huaizhen with wide eyes, his eyes full of incredulity.

Zhu Jianshen saw Jian Huaizhen so heartbroken, and he felt a little uncomfortable for a while, he thought to himself, if one day, I leave this world like a piece, will the eldest princess be so sad for me? Or in her mind, Zero has become the closest person around her, and she can't even compare to herself?

Thinking of this, he felt a little sad, he lowered his head, thought carefully for a while, the more he thought about it, the more sad he felt, and suddenly he raised his head and suddenly saw Jian Huaizhen's face becoming very ugly.

Her face was like a thin layer of dust, she looked very terrifying, and even her hair had a few more silver threads, but in a short moment, she looked like she was ten years old, which made Zhu Jianshen really unacceptable.

Zhu Jianshen looked at Jian Huaizhen, and after a while, he said slowly: "Eldest Princess, what's wrong with you?" Why is this happening? ”

Hearing him ask herself, Jian Huaizhen's eyes showed a hint of indifference, and she said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the reason why this palace has become like this is actually not unrelated to the emperor. ”

"It has nothing to do with me? Isn't it because the eldest princess died sporadically, so she is so sad? ”

"Yes, the scattered deaths are indeed very sad for this palace. But it's not because of this that Hongu suddenly became like this, but for other reasons. ”

"What's the reason for that?" Zhu Jianshen was very strange, looking at Jian Huaizhen, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Jian Huaizhen thought about it for a long, long time, and finally decided to explain the truth to Zhu Jianshen clearly, she knew that if she didn't explain it clearly to Zhu Jianshen, she didn't think Zhu Jianshen would know it anyway.

Because Zhu Jianshen is indeed a very, very selfish person, he believes in his own feelings very much, and he doesn't believe much in the rest, and in addition, he is far inferior to Zhu Jianchen in terms of scheming, and now King Jing is deliberately arranging and letting him fall into the trap, which can't be blamed on him.

So Jian Huaizhen thought about it for a while, and then said to him: "Your Majesty, in fact, the reason why I became like this is because of King Jing. I believe that the scattered deaths are also inextricably linked to King Jing. ”

"What does it have to do with King Jing?" Hearing Jian Huaizhen say this, Zhu Jianshen was stunned for a moment, and Zhu Jianshen was very confused for a while.

According to Zhu Jianchen, Jian Huaizhen obviously looked for Zhu Jianchen and wholeheartedly wanted to support Zhu Jianchen to ascend to the throne, so how could Jian Huaizhen deal with Zhu Jianchen? So this thing is indeed a bit strange and incomprehensible, so he looked up at Jian Huaizhen, his expression was full of doubts for a while.

Jian Huaizhen nodded, and slowly told him what happened, and after finishing speaking, she said to Zhu Jianshen: "This palace is not excusing itself, and this palace also knows that the emperor must be because this palace is unwilling to send someone to protect the emperor, so after encountering assassins, he has a dislike in his heart for this palace. But Your Majesty, have you ever thought about it, even though Empress Dowager Yao treats the general well, but after all, she is the mother of a country in North Korea, and the power of North Korea has no way to compare with our Ming Dynasty, she just suffered this dumb loss, what can she do? She has just raised the young emperor to ascend to the throne, naturally she is the country first, and she will never dare to provoke our Ming Dynasty unless she has to, so the palace concluded that she will not send assassins to assassinate the emperor, otherwise, she will kill herself. This palace didn't send anyone to protect you. ”

"The eldest princess, but in fact, someone did assassinate me, and you have seen it." Zhu Jianshen looked at Jian Huaizhen, hesitated, and said.

"Yes, there is such a thing, but have you ever wondered, do you think that the killer is really sent by Yao Jiyin? How could the people sent by Yao Jiyin enter my Ming palace so easily, and they could assassinate the emperor? Since the assassin was so wise and powerful, how could he be blocked by King Jing after a sword, and the assassin fled, didn't the emperor think the whole thing was a little strange? And after this incident, who has benefited the most? Presumably your majesty, you know everything clearly, right? ”

Jian Huaizhen's words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, exploding in Zhu Jianshen's ears.

For a long time, Zhu Jianshen had never doubted Zhu Jianchen, even if he didn't particularly believe in what King Jing Zhu Jianchen slandered Jian Huaizhen, but he never felt that there was anything wrong with his younger brother, and now when he heard Jian Huaizhen say this, he seemed to have a little enlightenment in his heart.

Yes, in the palace assassination, Zhu Jianchen benefited the most, he really trusted Zhu Jianchen very much, and released him from the South Third Institute.

Zhu Jianshen walked around the room, walked for a while, and then turned his face, stared at Jian Huaizhen, and said to her: "The eldest princess, but as far as I know, you have always trusted King Jing Zhu Jianchen, and you appreciate him for studying Buddhism, and he is an outsider. Why do you suddenly say that about him in front of me now? ”

"What's so strange about that? In the past, the palace didn't know anyone, so it ended up like this, and the palace had no complaints, but it didn't want to watch the emperor's country fall into the hands of a vicious person. Yes, this palace did have a lot of dissatisfaction with the emperor before, and the emperor did do a lot of things that the palace couldn't understand, but there is always one thing, and this palace can still be sure, that is, even if the emperor is not a benevolent monarch, he will never be full of scheming, let alone wholeheartedly want to calculate others and plan others. In this way, the emperor doesn't know how much better than King Jing, King Jing has to calculate so much about his own people, what will happen to the people of the world in the future, this palace is really unimaginable. Speaking of this, Jian Huaizhen couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

After listening to Jian Huaizhen, Zhu Jianshen finally understood what was going on.

Yes, what Jian Huaizhen said is indeed very reasonable, but in those days he sent someone to inquire about King Jing, and he really came to Jian Huaizhen to come and go too closely, so what's going on? So he asked the question in his heart again.

Jian Huaizhen told the truth and said: "The reason why he came to ask like this is that this palace must have already had a plan in his heart." The palace thought that he was testing the palace, so the palace allowed him to come in, the emperor, you have to know a little, if the palace really has three long and two short, then I believe that King Jing will definitely take advantage of the palace's physical problems, which will be unfavorable to the emperor. So this palace is sick, and he can't see it, even if it's poisoned, he can't know it, can you understand what this palace thinks? ”

After Zhu Jianshen heard what Jian Huaizhen said, he was very moved for a while, and hurriedly walked to Jian Huaizhen's side, looked at her fixedly, and said, "Is what you said true?" The eldest princess. ”

Jian Huaizhen nodded: "How many times did I lie to you?" Naturally, every word I say is true. In fact, this palace also knows that now is not the time to say these words, and if you say these words to the emperor now, the emperor may not be able to listen to them. The reason why this palace can't bear to talk to the emperor anymore is because this palace feels that this palace and the emperor's ancestors and grandchildren are originally the most intimate. Furthermore, when Bengong saw that Scattered was now ending up like this, he was very emotional. It is said that she went to the Qianqing Palace to find the emperor that night, and the palace only knew about it afterwards, presumably she wanted to go to the emperor that day, and tell the emperor what happened to the palace clearly, so I hope that the emperor can have any discord between the palace, but unfortunately, her thoughts were in vain. But no matter what, she can die for this matter, and this palace knows that she can't hide it from the emperor no matter what, otherwise I don't know what day, maybe the emperor's life will indeed be in danger. With that, she let out a long sigh.

After Zhu Jianshen heard what she said, he still said the question in his heart and said: "Even if the eldest princess thinks that King Jing comes every day for a few days, it is to test the eldest princess. But the eldest princess, in fact, he does come to you the most, doesn't the eldest princess think it's strange? ”
