If that were the case, the widow would not allow the man to act recklessly. With such a meticulous mind, killing people without blinking, and using such vicious methods, it is too dangerous for such a person to remain in the widow's palace. ”

At this time, Dugu Yi, both in his face and in his heart, hated the murderer behind him anymore. Since he was a child, it was the first time he encountered such a murderous person by his side, and he couldn't accept it indifferently.

knows that the harem battle is sinister, but as the king of a country, when he committed suicide, he could understand how difficult it was for his father, Emperor Jing, to be back then.

On the one hand, you have to worry about national affairs and the world, and on the other hand, you have to let go of the thieves around you. It's true that there is no skill.

Gao Fan couldn't manage so much and so far, it could be seen that Duguyi was so worried, but he still comforted him and said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry, your subordinates think that the murderer behind it is a person with a head and a brain, and he doesn't dare to make any big moves for a while." ”

"What does Gao Fan think he will do?" Dugu Yi asked again.

"The subordinates thought that if she only killed one person and did only one evil thing, she might be able to carry out it seamlessly and leave no trace. But up to now, she has persecuted Queen Le before and after, killed a palace maid guarding the door, poisoned Yingmeiren, and now it is possible that she has killed Yingmeiren's former maid. So much to do, and in such a short period of days. It is impossible for her not to leave a flaw. ”

"What you say makes sense, according to these clues, you may find traces of this murderer." After listening to Gao Fan's analysis, Duguyi also thought that it was impossible not to have a single clue.

"Moreover, Your Majesty, in this harem, there are so many pairs of eyes staring, and the subordinates think that it is impossible for this person to avoid everyone's eyes if he wants to do things. And most of the concubines in this harem are the emperor's concubines, in order to mix with the crowd, they confuse their identities, and the perpetrator must be a woman. And in this harem, in addition to the ladies of the harem, there are palace people, eunuchs, the emperor and the emperor's guards. ”

Hearing Gao Fan say this, Duguyi had an idea, and continued to analyze:

"The identity of the widow's guard is special, the description is too recognizable, and he doesn't move around much, so he can basically rule out suspicion. Men and women were forbidden to interact privately in the palace, so the possibility of public eunuchs committing murder was extremely small. Then the rest of the palace maids and widows' concubines. ”

"The emperor guessed right, judging from the murder of the queen's mother, at this time, it may be the harem's mother who did it to compete for favor. And this person has brains and scheming, and can also use the palace maids in the palace of the queen mother and Concubine Zhuang at the same time, this person's identity must not be low, at the same time, if this person is not a lady who speaks with enough influence, I am afraid that Yingmei may not necessarily obey her. Therefore, the emperor, in this way, the suspicion of the masters in the West Palace can be ruled out. ”

"Gao Fan." Hearing this, Gao Fan's words made Duguyi admire.

"Not only are you an excellent secret guard of the widow, you can be the advisor of the widow."

"The subordinates don't dare, if the emperor appreciates his subordinates, the subordinates will definitely share more worries and solve problems for the emperor in the future, but now the subordinates are still secretly protecting the emperor's safety."

"Then I heard you say this, although there are many concubines in this East Palace, there are only a few people with higher status. Could it be that the real culprit is among them? ”

Dugu Yi pondered for a while, and couldn't imagine that those high-level concubines, including Chen Yanxue, would be murderers.

Putting aside Duguyi's contact with them on weekdays, excluding Yang Ziqi, everyone is suspicious, including Chen Yanxue, including Wang Xiaojun, including Zhao Rongrong, and Fu Xinger, including Concubine Shu, Concubine De and Concubine Liang.

These people don't look like suspects on weekdays, is there really a murderer hiding in them?

"Your Majesty, of course, these are all speculated by subordinates according to common sense, and there is no shortage of special circumstances. Therefore, his subordinates believe that when the emperor has no clues, the emperor needs to pay attention quietly. ”

"What you said makes sense, the widow not only has to pay attention, but the widow also has to ask Father-in-law Gao to look for clues for the widow."

"It's good that the emperor knows, and the subordinates are here waiting for the emperor to find out the good news."

"Mother, mother."

Shu'er hurriedly came back from outside, returned to this Xiangxue Palace, and hurriedly ran to Feng Zhaoyuan's side.

"What's the matter, this is." Shu'er didn't stop at a hurry, and almost hit Feng Zhaoyuan, who was sitting on a stool: "Are you in a hurry to reincarnate, you?" ”

"Mother, slave...... I ......" Shu'er was out of breath, and took a few more breaths before saying to Feng Zhaoyuan completely: "Niangniang, the slave and maid quietly went to the Huanyi room to see, and after looking around, I didn't see the mercy in the queen's palace, you say...... Do you think she's been ...... Killed and killed? ”

Shu'er lowered her voice, her face full of surprise and horror.

"Look at you're scared." When Feng Zhaoyuan heard this, she only replied to her casually: "Is it strange that she is dead, it would be strange if she was still alive." Hongu had already guessed that someone like her who knew too many things was destined to not live long. ”

Hearing Feng Zhaoyuan say this, Shu'er's courage was a little smaller, and such a big thing as killing someone could be so lightly said from Feng Zhaoyuan's mouth, but it also made her feel that it really took guts to mix in this harem.

was still nervous, and the book asked Feng Zhaoyuan in a low voice, "That'...... Niangniang, Lianxiang is dead, does it mean that no one will ever know what we have done? ”

"It should be." Feng Zhaoyuan replied to her with a smile.

Hearing Feng Zhaoyuan say this, the book also breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as Lianxiang died, no one knew what they had done except for their master and servant. Taking advantage of the fact that Yingmei harmed the queen, she Feng Zhaoyuan took the opportunity to get involved, and now she is safe and sound.

Regarding the murder of the queen, even if Dugu Yi continued to investigate, at most he would only find the murderer who killed Yingmei and Lianxiang, and the crime of poisoning the queen probably naturally fell on that person.

Thinking of this, Feng Zhaoyuan only felt that he was at ease and at ease.

With the scream of Xigong Sun Meiren in shock, the death of the palace maid Chun'er also spread throughout the harem.

This was indeed Gao Fan's expectation. Before Duguyi could send someone to find Chun'er, the palace maid before the warbler beauty, she was already dead.

After an autopsy, Chun'er died of poisoning. But where the poison came from, we don't know.

According to the Imperial Doctor, the poison Chun'er took was a common and deadly poison. The only characteristic is that the poison does not die immediately after taking it, but will react after a period of time, depending on when the person takes the poison, whether there is food in the stomach at the time of taking the poison or afterward.

Dugu Yi also ordered the imperial doctor to compare this with the poison in the wine that Yingmei drank before, it is not the same poison, but it is also a common poison.

In this way, it is even more impossible to find out the source of this poison.

Lian Xiang disappeared, Yingmei and her former personal palace maid Chun'er took poison and died, so far, all clues related to this case have been broken.

The only thing Duguyi can do is to quietly find small flaws in these gaps.

According to the interrogation, Chun'er's current owner, Sun Meiren, did not provide any useful information. She only said that Chun'er was serving her well, and suddenly she fell to the ground.

asked Sun Meiren Chun'er if she had seen any strange people and if she had been to any strange places, and even the beauties said no, except for three meals a day and some work that should be done, Chun'er almost never left her side. 、

But when Chun'er was still combing her hair and putting on makeup, she suddenly died like this.

Sun Meiren didn't believe it at first, until she put her hand under Chun'er's nostrils and tried it, she didn't know that she was no longer breathing.

Chun'er's death, Sun Meiren was also frightened. knew that this Chun'er was originally the personal palace maid of the Ying Beauty, and when she was transferred to her side, she didn't mind. Just treat her like her former personal palace maid.

Even some concubines such as other beauties in the West Palace will gossip, but Sun Meiren, you don't take it to heart.

"Then why was this Chun'er transferred to Sun Meiren's side, and where was your original palace maid transferred?" The kind father-in-law Gao also asked Sun Meiren with concern.

"Back to my father-in-law, I don't know where my original personal palace maid was transferred, but I ...... I heard before that this Chun'er was not going to be transferred to me, but to Li Meiren, but later I heard that Li Meiren had a good relationship with the aunt in charge, so I changed Chun'er to me. ”

Hearing Sun Meiren say this, Gao Gonggong couldn't help but feel helpless. The palace is still that palace, and the harem is still the harem.

Even in this West Palace, even if the emperor doesn't patronize here, there are a lot of struggles.

Those who are favored are competing for superiority, and those who are not favored are also striving to be favored one day.

Because the status of the concubines in the West Palace is not very high, the aunt in charge of the affairs has been opportunistic and foolish in their treatment of them. At the same time, he has not used his position to seek some personal gain.

Gao Gonggong sighed in his heart, but he heard the Sun Meiren say:

"Father-in-law Gao, in fact, I don't care who this Chun'er was the palace maid before, where she came from, she is very kind, and she treats me well, and she suddenly dies like this, it's really pitiful and wronged, if the father-in-law can speak in front of the emperor, the concubine still hopes that the emperor can find out the truth and give Chun'er justice."

When Gonggong Gao heard this, he only reassured Sun Meiren that the emperor would not be able to ignore anything in the palace, as long as the truth was ascertained, Chun'er would definitely be able to return justice.

"Your Majesty, what are you going to do with the death of the palace maid Chun'er?"

This kind of thing, not only Gonggong Gao, I'm afraid everyone wants to ask Duguyi.

The death of the palace maid Chun'er is undoubtedly a terrible thing for many people who don't know and haven't thought about it.

For some heartless people, it was just a joke, and at the same time, it was a warning to themselves.

And for the murderer, on the one hand, he was a little nervous because the matter was related to him, but on the other hand, he was also happy to get rid of all the factors that were not good for him.

Duguyi's heart is very complicated. It was also thanks to Gao Fan who secretly helped him analyze it, so when faced with such an emergency, he would not be so busy.

"Father-in-law Gao, let's bury her first."

Gao Gonggong quietly agreed to Dugu Yi.

"Father-in-law Gao, when my father was alive in the past, how did you deal with such a situation?"

When Gonggong Gao heard this, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, this is a rare time for Dugu Yi to take the initiative to mention the former emperor Jingdi: "Back to the emperor, when the first emperor was alive, he encountered this kind of thing, and he was also very troubled. ”

What Gao Gonggong said is indeed reasonable. In the end, it may indeed be possible to know who planned all this.
