"How's the investigation going?" Chunxi turned her head from her contemplation and looked at Mu Hui, who was not far from her.

"Shu Sleeve still hasn't whereabouts, I don't know where he went." was asked by Chunxi, and Mu Hui also woke up from her memories.

She stood up from the edge of the fish pond, but her eyes were looking at the fish in the pond. After half a sound, he said: "It's been two days, how can there be no clue at all." How did little brother fall into the water? ”

"The emperor has sent someone to investigate, but unfortunately there is no result. I only know that it was Mama Zhao from Shoukang Palace who took the little brother there, and from her confession, there was no other information available. She only said that she was negligent for a while, and the little brother was lost, and when she found it, she was already in the pool. Presumably the scream we heard was from her. Mu Hui said again.

Apparently not satisfied with this answer, she dried the fish food in her hand into the pool, turned around suddenly, and threw all the fish food that had not been thrown into it to the ground. Slightly angry: "It's gone? ”

"It is rumored outside that it was Shu Sleeve who pushed the little brother into the pool." Mu Hui replied cautiously: "Because of Shu Sleeve's disappearance, the little master has appeared at the scene again, so ......"

"So...... I am the mastermind. Chunxi couldn't listen anymore, interrupted her, and said with a wry smile: "They really overestimated me." ”

At this time, Chunxi could almost imagine how ugly it must have been outside. Word of mouth spreads, and almost all that comes out of everyone's mouth is really similar. In this palace, no matter what happens, as long as one person knows about it, and when he says it, it will be like a waterfall that can't stop. And, in the end, it was already unrecognizable.

She could guess how vicious and ruthless they were. Even, through the thick palace walls, she could hear people saying that she was going to kill other people's children because she was jealous, because her own children died. She didn't just hear it, she had been hearing similar words for the past two days, half-asleep and half-awake.

Now she has become a poisonous woman in the eyes of everyone.

She almost didn't dare to let people open the door of Yikun Palace, and she could hear the sound of insults when she opened a small crack.

Xuan Ye came twice, but each time he just comforted her a few words and left in a hurry.

Mu Hui couldn't bear to look at Chun Xi like this, and took a few steps forward to hold her in her arms: "Little master, cry out, just cry once." "Ever since I almost fainted from crying while holding Changsheng's corpse that day, I haven't seen her shed a single tear.

Although, the heart-rending feeling of a year ago has doubled back, and she can't bear to cry anymore. In addition to the self-deprecating smile on his face, there was only anger left.

Chunxi pushed her away and said seriously: "No matter what, you have to find Shu Sleeve." This time, I must know who the master behind her is. She didn't want to be left to her guesses, she wanted an affirmative answer.

If she had asked Shu Sleeve for clarity at the first time, instead of relying on her own speculation, she would not have caused this tragedy now.

Concubine Tong may be her master, but there is no evidence, and it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be someone else.

At dusk, Chunxi secretly made an appointment with Han Ji. She thought that this matter might not be solved by her alone.

This is the first time Han Ji has met since entering the palace, and she has always been cautious about others finding out about their relationship, but now it is a last resort, and Chunxi still wants to see her. In the depths of Chunxi's heart, as long as Han Ji is there, she will be reassured.

Such a big matter even began to be rumored among the people of the capital, and Han Ji was naturally clear. And as soon as possible, Yanan went to the Shen Criminal Division to find out the news, but it was still fruitless, and everything that was known to Chunxi was much the same.

For a while, Han Ji also had no clue. Both felt that the focus should be on Shu Sleeve. But the crux of the matter is that Shu Sleeve has disappeared inexplicably for three days, and the entire palace has been searched without finding her, as if she has disappeared out of thin air.

"I've asked people to inquire about Shu Sleeves before, and she has a good relationship with Concubine Tong's side of Lianxue. Once Mu Hui also found out that she had secretly gone to Chengqian Palace and Yongshou Palace successively, and that day, I was almost punished in the Imperial Garden. "Chun Xi told Han Ji everything about the previous things in the Imperial Garden. At the end, she said: "I once suspected that Shu Sleeve was Concubine Tong's person, and then I was assassinated outside the palace, and my sister once said that those people are likely to be from the Tong family." So I am even more sure that Shu Sleeve is the person who was inserted into Yikun Palace by Concubine Tong, and I have always been wary of her, but I didn't expect to be killed by her this time. ”

After listening to Chunxi's words, Han Ji didn't say a word for a long time, and just when Chunxi began to be anxious, Han Ji said coldly: "No matter who the person behind her is, the purpose is to harm you." Now that Shu Sleeve's disappearance has made you controversial, at that time, even if you find her, as long as she says that all this was instructed by you, I am afraid you will not even have a chance to refute. ”

Chunxi nodded, which was exactly what she was worried about. What a terrible thing rumors are, Chun Xi now fully understands. However, what she is most worried about is not her reputation, but her failure to find the murderer who killed the little brother.

I saw Han Ji pause for a while, and then said, "There is one thing that we must figure out." How did Shu Sleeve know that you were looking for Little Brother, and he disappeared long before that. Even if she keeps hiding and secretly follows you, then she can't know where the little brother is. And just so happened to have the opportunity to push the little brother into the pool. ”

Hearing Han Ji's analysis, Chunxi also began to wonder. It's so strange, it doesn't make sense everywhere.

After a long time, the two of them said in unison: "Unless the little brother is not pushed down by her." ”

The two smiled similarly, and Chunxi understood, and said, "If Shu Sleeve has nothing to do with this matter, she is just missing." The death of the little brother was done by someone else, and we should think differently. ”

"The preconceived idea at the beginning has kept us entangled in this fog, and it seems that there is another hidden reason for the death of the little brother." Han Ji guessed: "If Little Brother's death was a simple accident, it should be unlikely. He was so small, he couldn't even walk steadily, let alone run, how could he suddenly disappear from Mama Zhao's sight. ”

"The biggest possibility is that this Mama Zhao is lying, she must be hiding something." Chunxi began to get excited, and finally had some eyebrows. The feeling in her heart is really right, as long as Han Ji is there, she will really feel at ease. Han Ji is her brainchild, a beacon of light after she falls into darkness, guiding her direction.

"It seems that it is necessary for me to meet this Mama Zhao in person." Chunxi smiled.

"You can slow down when you see her, perhaps, you should go to Shoukang Palace." Han Ji analyzed: "This Mama Zhao doesn't matter if she has something to hide, but she is still a person from Shoukang Palace on the surface. Not to mention whether this Mama Zhao was bought, but the little brother was raised in Shoukang Palace, so it must have something to do with it. ”

Chun Xi felt that what Han Ji said was reasonable, so the two decided to act separately. Chun Xi went to Shoukang Palace, and Han Ji went to the Shen Criminal Division.

Chunxi met with the consultant overnight and asked him about the situation of Shoukang Palace. Since entering the palace, she has rarely met with several concubines, even the birthday banquet of the empress dowager is only in a hurry, and the seats are far apart, and several concubines don't like to talk to these juniors, so they are naturally very unfamiliar.

"Shoukang Palace is the residence of the concubines of the first emperor, and now there are four concubines, headed by Prince Yu's biological mother, Concubine Ning, then Concubine Shuhui, who raised the little elder brother, and then Concubine Duanshun and Concubine Gongjing." The advisor said, "Concubine Shuhui is the sister of the Queen Mother. ”

"Wait." The consultant was about to continue, but was interrupted by Chunxi: "Concubine Shuhui is the sister of the Queen Mother? ”

"Not bad." The advisor nodded.

Chunxi didn't want to hear him talk about it anymore, let him go back, she already had an assumption in her heart. It's just that whether it's right or not, she still needs to go to Shoukang Palace tomorrow to know.

At dawn the next day, Chunxi packed up and went to Shoukang Palace. Who knows, just walked out not far away, and saw Dong Guiren coming towards him.

"Yo! How dare you come out? When Dong Guiren saw Chunxi, the anger that had been suppressed came up. The last time I was in the Imperial Garden, if it weren't for her, I wouldn't have been punished. At that time, every scene was vivid, but she was becoming more and more favored, except for occasionally fighting with her, she didn't dare to do anything to her. Now that she is about to become a rat crossing the street, everyone shouts and beats, and she doesn't have to endure it anymore.

Chun Xi glanced at Dong Guiren, ignored her, and wanted to bypass, but was stopped by Dong Guiren.

"What are you going to do?" Chunxi was very irritable now, and wanted to break free, but she didn't know where Dong Guiren got the strength, so she grabbed her.

"Didn't the emperor decree that you should stay in Yikun Palace and not have to come out?" Dong Guiren sneered and glanced at her, still not intending to let go.

Chun Xi stretched out his hand to push her away, but found that it was useless, and he was not polite to him, and pushed hard, Dong Guiren did not stand firm for a while, and took several steps back. If it weren't for the palace wall behind her, blocking her, she would have fallen to the ground at this time.

"What the emperor said is that it is not necessary, not that it is not allowed. Did I do anything? Want the emperor to punish me? Sister should take care of herself, but don't wronged others again, but hurt herself. Chun Xi glared at her, ignoring the resentment on her face, and turned to leave.

Mu Hui hurriedly followed.

"You've learned well this time." After walking a few steps, Chunxi smiled and said to Mu Hui.

Mu Hui smiled knowingly. Last time, Lan Xin wronged people before she did anything, and this time if she stepped forward and broke Dong Guiren's hand, I am afraid it would really be unclear. Fortunately, she remembered it in time, otherwise, she would have caused big trouble again.

I thought that Dong Guiren would just forget it, but this time she didn't give up and followed.

Detoured to the front, blocked her way, and said angrily: "The noble man is really vicious, he killed a child less than two years old two days ago, and today he just said a few words to you, and he started with me." ”

Chunxi didn't understand what she was saying, and was wondering, so she opened her sleeve, revealing a scar. I secretly screamed in my heart that it was not good, but when I thought about it, it was not right, although I put it hard, she hit it on the wall, but it didn't make her have such a serious injury, and she still hurt her hand.

"Noble man, I am the same harem concubine as you. The last time I was in the Imperial Garden, it was my fault, but I was also punished. After so long, you still have malicious intentions and want to kill me? Dong Guiren's words are sonorous, and every word is accusing her.

I'm completely stunned now, what is this? But just push her away, and it was her hand that made the first move, and now it was up to herself.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Mu Hui couldn't listen anymore and roared softly.

"Do what?" Instead, Chunxi yelled at Mu Hui, and said with a smile to Dong Guiren: "Sister, I'm not sincere, I hope that my sister has a lot, forgive Chunxi." ”

Dong Guiren was about to say more, but saw a person walking out behind him.

"Now that the nobleman has apologized, let's stop here." Concubine Wan's voice was tepid, and there was no joy or anger on her face.

"See the concubine." When the group saw her, they all saluted.

"Let's get started." Concubine Wan didn't mean to come over, but turned around and walked away again.

It wasn't until she couldn't see the figure of Concubine Wan that she turned around and continued walking.

I didn't see the smile on Dong Guiren's face at all. She couldn't have imagined that everything today was designed by Dong Guiren, even if Concubine Wan didn't appear, she could pretend to forgive Chunxi. At that time, the rumors in the palace are that the noble man has a vicious heart, killed the little brother, and wants to persecute the concubines who had grievances with her before. And Dong Guiren himself will make people feel generous because he forgave her. A stark contrast is completely formed.

At that time, Chunxi only wanted to solve the doubts in her heart, where did she still have the heart to think about others. It wasn't until the rumors were unstoppable that she figured out how big a vat of oil Dong Guiren poured on the fire on the morning of that day.
