After noon, a little eunuch from the Qianqing Palace came to Yikun Palace to spread the word, saying that all the palace concubines and concubines should go to Cining Palace to discuss matters.

"How could it be to Cining Palace." Mu Hui wondered.

"Come to think of it, this matter has also reached the ears of the ancestors. Besides, such a big matter has to be dealt with in front of the ancestors, right? Chun Xi smiled.

Chunxi and Han Ji took Mu Hui and they went to Cining Palace, and when they went out, Chunyin also intended to go over together, but was stopped by Chunxi.

"Don't go over, lest there be any unnecessary accidents that involve you, I will explain it to the ancestor and the emperor, you can rest well."

After saying that, there was no room for Chunyin to refuse, and he left directly.

When I arrived at Cining Palace, I happened to meet Jing Concubine and was about to enter the gate of Cining Palace.

"Sister, what a coincidence." Chunxi's face was full of smiles, but he saw the indifference on the other party's face, and he was reluctant to deal with it.

It was boring to be bored, and Chun Xi didn't say much, so she pulled Han Ji into the door, but she didn't have time to see the resentment in Jing Concubine's eyes.

Hello and sit down. Han Ji, as always, put a rose chair next to Xiaozhuang for her, and although she was not very embarrassed, Han Ji still sat down. Next to it is Chunxi, and it is convenient for the two to talk.

Xiaozhuang's face was serious, and he had already lost his former pleasant face, and he was waiting for everyone to arrive.

The concubines who arrived were all talking to the people next to them, and they didn't care too much about Xiaozhuang's displeasure. But they all speculated whether something big had happened again.

After about half an hour, I saw Xuan Ye enter the door.

Xuan Ye also had a straight face from the moment he entered the door, without any expression at all, which made everyone present silent.

At this hour, what are you going to do when you suddenly find everyone? Everyone's hearts began to feel uneasy, but only Chun Xi and Han Ji were very relaxed.

Xuan Ye glanced around, then waved his hand and shouted, "Bring people up." ”

After speaking, Zhang Pengrong, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, and two guards brought the nobles in.

Tong Guiren kept his head down and knelt on the ground, but familiar people still recognized it at a glance. Concubine Jing was even more surprised, and shouted loudly: "Sister, why are you ......?"

But more people were frightened and shouted that there were ghosts.

"Show me clearly, whether this is a human or a ghost." Xuan Ye was annoyed when he heard this, and scolded loudly.

At this moment, everyone was quiet, but they still had a frightened expression. Concubine Duan was already so frightened that she hid in her chair, not daring to look this way, and buried her head in death.

"Your Majesty, what's going on?" Concubine Jing reacted, walked to the side of the nobleman, and knelt down. She turned her head to look at the Tong Guiren who was kneeling next to her, trying to find an answer, but as if she was being ignored, the Tong Guiren kept her head down and didn't say a word.

"yes, what's going on? Isn't the noble man dead? How could he have lived again? Although Concubine Rong was also shocked, she quickly calmed down after being in the palace for so many years. Her eyes drifted, and she met with Chunxi, who smiled at her.

Concubine Rong didn't understand what Chunxi's smile meant, but she knew that the sentence she asked was something that many people wanted to say in their hearts, so she looked at Xuan Ye and the nobleman who was kneeling on the ground.

"Speak!" Xuan Ye sat back on the throne, glanced at Zhang Pengrong, and said that he would explain the matter.

Zhang Pengrong took a few steps forward, saluted, and said, "A corpse found in Qixiang Palace before has been changed beyond recognition. At that time, because the corpse was dressed similarly to the Tongguiren, and the Tongguiren was nowhere to be found, everyone naturally felt that it was the Tongguiren himself who died. But everyone ignored that when Little Brother died, there were three abnormal and even crazy people. One is the little brother's adoptive mother An Concubine, the other is the little brother's biological mother Tong Guiren, and the other is the aunt Fang Fei in charge of Qixiang Palace. ”

At this point, some people began to discuss, but they were glared at by Xiaozhuang, so they didn't dare to say more, so they had to listen quietly.

"When the body was found, it was disfigured and unrecognizable. At that time, An Concubine was in the house, the nobles were gone, and Fang Fei was gone. But now everyone sees that Tonggui is alive here. Therefore, it should be Fang Fei who died. In order to confirm, Weichen asked several people to repeatedly examine the corpse, and he was more sure that the identity of the deceased was Fang Fei. ”

Zhang Pengrong said this, screaming and gasping.

As for how Fang Fei died, Wei Chen also had a more certain result. It was found that Fang Fei was stabbed in the chest and died of excessive blood loss. The scars on her body and the disfigurement of her face were all caused after death. ”

"Is the murderer An Concubine?" Someone asked at the bottom, and when I looked up, it was Jing Concubine.

"Who is the murderer, but you have to ask the nobleman." Zhang Pengrong said that he didn't quite understand, took a few steps back, and stood aside.

Hearing Zhang Pengrong mention himself, Tong Guiren was already trembling with fright, tears were like water, and they kept falling, but he never said a word. His head hung all the time, and he didn't look at anyone.

Concubine Jing glanced at the noble man kneeling next to her again, and asked something in a low voice, but she didn't hear an answer.

"Mu Hui, you can talk about it." Xuan Ye didn't have such good patience, and waited for the noble person to speak.

When Mu Hui heard the call to herself, she hurriedly walked out from behind Chun Xi, and knelt behind the nobleman, describing everything that happened to her.

As soon as she finished speaking, the whole room was only the sound of breathing, and it was eerily quiet.

Suddenly, Xiaozhuang threw the teacup next to him, and it happened to be broken in front of Tong Guiren, so frightened that Tong Guiren cried and kowtowed a few times, and his forehead was scratched by fragments.

"In the palace, how can there be such a vicious person." Xiaozhuang was furious: "Where is the guard now?" ”

"Back to the Empress Dowager, I found it this morning, but unfortunately I killed myself on the spot." Zhang Pengrong replied.

No one wants to believe that the nobles, who have always been timid and afraid of things, will kill one day. Now that the guard is dead, no one knows who is behind it. But after all, people were killed by nobles, and looking at her appearance, she didn't mean to refute, that is, she recognized it.

"What happened to the death of An Concubine?" Xiaozhuang suppressed his anger, and then asked: "Is it also the same as the nobles, find someone to replace you, and An Concubine is also locked up now?" ”

"Nope." Zhang Pengrong replied very affirmatively: "Wechen has confirmed that the corpse in the dry well is indeed An Concubine herself. As for why he wanted to disfigure Fang Fei after death, this Weichen is unknown. However, it seems that it should be a copycat. ”

Chun Xi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, thanks to the fact that he had told him not to tell him about An Concubine's poisoning. Otherwise, this will implicate Chunyin, and the real murderer of An Concubine will not be found. It will also cause more unnecessary trouble. She didn't want Chun Yin to have any accidents because of this incident.

"Haven't you found the real murderer who killed An Concubine?" Xiaozhuang asked again.

Zhang Pengrong was about to reply, but suddenly saw Chunxi stand up, she walked up to Tong Guiren, glanced at her, and then at the concubine kneeling next to her. turned around, saluted Xiaozhuang and Xuan Ye, and said, "Ancestor, the death of this concubine is strange. The concubine heard that there were rumors in the palace before that it was the ghost of the nobleman who killed An Concubine. But looking at it now, the nobles are so dignified, so there can't be ghosts. But when this An Concubine died, what was the noble man doing? Shouldn't it be explained? ”

How else to explain it? Just now, the palace maid beside you also said that the noble man was in a coma for two days, and when he woke up, Concubine An was already dead. The noble man didn't speak, and the concubine on the side was anxious.

Chun Xi covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "The guard only appeared in front of Mu Hui after the noble man woke up and Concubine An died. If you can't keep it, this guard is the nobleman's own person. Those words were also made up for Mu Hui, in order to clear the fact that she killed An Concubine. "Although I already know that the guard should be the person who is a concubine, if the concubine is shaken out, it will definitely involve Chunyin. When the time comes, the concubine will find an excuse to get out, and the bitter one will be Chunyin.

"Nonsense. Since Fang Fei has been killed, if you really want to kill An Concubine, why hide it anymore. Jing Concubine eagerly denied.

"Killing a palace maid can't be the same as killing a concubine, right?" Chun Xi said again: "What's more, the noble people have always believed that An Concubine and Fang Fei are the culprits of the sudden death of the little brother. She even killed Fang Fei, and there is no reason why this master will let it go, right? ”

"No, she is not the murderer of An Concubine." Jing Concubine vigorously denied it.

"If she wasn't, who would it be?" Chunxi looked down at Jing Concubine, forcing her to look at her.

From Jing Concubine's eyes, Chunxi saw fear, hatred, and fear.

"This ......" Concubine Jing has always been able to speak well, but this stall is powerless to refute.

"No matter who it is, I'm afraid the resentment with An Concubine is not small." Han Ji continued: "If this person is not harmed by the nobles, I'm afraid he is also related to the nobles." Look, it's like avenging the nobles. Otherwise, it would not be necessary to kill An Concubine, and it would be the same as Fang Fei's death. You know, Fang Fei's corpse has always been regarded as a nobleman before......"

Before Han Ji finished speaking, he suddenly saw Tong Guiren raise his head, stared directly at Han Ji who was sitting on the side, and said loudly: "It's me, I killed the person." ”

He never opened his mouth, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he confessed to the crime, and this change shocked everyone.

Everyone was stunned, and even Chun Xi was frightened by her sudden words, took a few steps back, and looked at her in astonishment.

It is impossible for a person to be killed by a nobleman, and she now admits that she wants nothing more than to take the blame for others.

Who is it?

Chun Xi and Han Ji looked at the concubine who was kneeling next to the nobleman. (Palace's Gate.. /31/31987/)--
