Chapter 13: Suicide by biting his tongue
Lin Xueqi walked into Fuxi Garden and followed the attendant into a courtyard.
I saw that the queen mother was surrounded by a group of women, and there was a strong smell of rouge gouache, which made Lin Xueqi frown.
"See the queen and the concubines." Lin Xueqi was slightly blessed, and straightened her back first without waiting for the queen mother to say that she was flat, but she was not afraid that the queen mother would be blamed for this incident.
The queen mother really didn't blame her, she nodded, and she acquiesced in such a blessing. "What did Xue Qi come to? Hongu ...... I can't pull away. She smiled awkwardly.
When the other concubines heard this, they immediately gave way to Lin Xueqi.
Now she is a dancer, a princess of the Ninth Princess, and a princess of Phantom Yue who was personally crowned by the emperor, and her identity is big. Moreover, the emperor and the empress are both her uncles and aunts, and her mother is the eldest princess who monopolized the sprouts back then.
In other words, Lin Xueqi is better to talk than the queen's mother, after all, Lin Xueqi is young and doesn't understand this harem dispute, and she is also the best to speak, as long as Lin Xueqi helps them, then aren't they far from the queen's position?
All the concubines thought of this, and their eyes when they looked at each other were even more full of taste, and an unknown undercurrent surged between them.
"Auntie, can you tell me about my mother?" Through that dream, she was even more curious about her mother, she wanted to understand her mother, she wanted to avenge them, she wanted to catch the person who was behind the scenes, because it was that person who ruined the happy life that belonged to her!
Hearing Lin Xueqi's question, the faces of the concubines changed suddenly, which made Lin Xueqi, who had been observing their expressions, even more sure that they must know something!
The queen looked at Lin Xueqi fixedly, sighed lightly, and waved her hand, "You guys go down first, the palace wants to talk to the princess." ”
All the concubines were blessed, and they all retreated after saying "yes".
Under the placket of her clothes, Lin Xueqi's hands trembled faintly in fists, her face was a little pale, and her heart was beating more and more violently, as if she could hear the sound of her heartbeat.
"Your mother is a very beautiful and gentle woman, she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is the first talented woman in the Mo Dynasty. She married the emperor of a neighboring country, who was only two years older than her, and who had made great achievements since she was a child. But when you were nine years old, a picnic made you lose both parents. We were chagrined at the time. The next day, there was an extra girl in the Lin Mansion for no reason, we went to identify and recognized you, but we had no face to see you, so we had to let the Lin Mansion help take care of it, but I didn't want you to show your super talent in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since you were a child, and you became a straw bag that everyone abused...... We're sorry for you...... Your marriage was also deliberately arranged by us, and that person also said that you are the antidote that can make Mo Xichen wake up, so we let you be the ninth princess, because in this way, no one can bully you...... We don't come forward to explain, we have been hiding from you for five years, and it is also for your own good, we are afraid that you will not be able to stand it for a while......" The queen mother wiped away the tears that gradually flowed, and cried so much that it was sad.
Lin Xueqi suffered a cardiac arrest, her fingertips were slightly white, her body couldn't help it tremble, Mei Chun on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and comforted in a low voice: "Your Royal Highness Princess, don't be sad, the eldest princess will be sad and cry if she has a spirit in the sky." As he spoke, he handed over a handkerchief.
Lin Xueqi shook her head, really, she didn't cry, she wanted a handkerchief. "Auntie, don't cry, I know you are for my good, and I don't blame you. I also want to find out who killed my parents, and who framed Lord Mo, these alone, that person's two lives are not enough to repay! Lin Xueqi's eyes were cold, and his body exuded murderous intent.
"The eldest princess has been cultivating for several lifetimes to have a daughter like you!" The queen mother burst into tears, "It's a pity that there has never been a child like you under the knees of this palace." ”
"Auntie, you can treat me like your child. By the way, today Mo Wang Ye went to the early dynasty, what happened? "Since she crossed, she hasn't seen Mo Xichen go to participate in the early dynasty, and when Mo Xichen came back today, she also noticed his complexion, not particularly good, it is estimated that there is something major happening.
"How do you know? Anyway, I originally wanted to hide it from you, but it seems that paper can't contain the fire. The queen sighed, and then said quietly: "Li Bing is going to bite his tongue and commit suicide."
Lin Xueqi wasn't much surprised, in fact, she had already guessed that this scene might happen, but she didn't want to be so fast.
"Then I'll go down to the dungeon, the corpse shouldn't have been disposed of yet, right?" Lin Xueqi asked.
"Not yet, but it's preparing." The queen replied.
Lin Xueqi didn't dare to delay for a moment, turned around and said, "The queen mother is resting and saying goodbye." Saying that, he ran out of Fuxi Garden without stopping.
Mei Chun led Lin Xueqi towards the dungeon, and when he was in the pavilion, he was stopped by a flying folding fan, Mei Chun was startled, and Lin Xueqi quickly lowered his body and dodged this 'dark arrow'.
Lin Xueqi and Mei Chun leaned close to their backs, staring around vigilantly, "If you have the ability, come out and hide, what kind of heroes are you?" ”
The person in the dark smiled, and the folding fan in his hand attacked again, rushing towards Lin Xueqi's face!
Lin Xueqi noticed the direction in which the folding fan was flying, and whispered to remind Mei Chun to be careful, and after dodging, she ran towards that place, and when there was no one there, she looked around and found that there were very shallow footprints on the ground.
Since the man was attacking them in the grass, and there must have been some dust in this hidden place, naturally some tricks had fallen.
Look at the footprint is at least 35 centimeters, it is estimated that the size of a man's shoes should be about 1.8 meters tall, and the folding fan ...... Suddenly, Lin Xueqi remembered the time when he entered the palace to participate in his birthday and bumped into Mo Yi that day, he also took a folding fan at that time, but it was not this style, could it be him?
"Your Highness the Princess!" Mei Chun ran over and took a folding fan in her hand, "Your Royal Highness Princess, is this folding fan useful to you?" Mei Chun got it back for you. ”
Lin Xueqi smiled and took the folding fan and put it in his sleeve, "Thank you." Let's go, go to the dungeon, I'm going to personally examine Li Bing's death. ”
Mei Chun nodded, and took Lin Xueqi to the door of the dungeon, Lin Xueqi reported his name and explained his intention, and the guard at the door shook his head, "I'm sorry Your Royal Highness Princess, Li Bing's body has already been disposed of, and you are too late." ”
Late?!
Lin Xueqi clenched her fists, she finally got closer to the truth, but now she told her the news. Anyway, she is not in a hurry, but that person hinders her, I am afraid that Li Bing's death is strange, and if she can hide it from the imperial doctor, either she will buy it or the imperial doctor's medical skills are not good.
"That's really a problem for you, farewell." Lin Xueqi turned around and was about to leave, but she heard an evil voice sound behind her:
"There are still some exhibits that the Nine Princesses want to see?"
