Volume 2 Watching Chapter 9 Intensifies
Before she came out of Shoukang Palace, she knew that today's trip was in vain. No clues were found.
Concubine Shuhui didn't want to say anything about it at all, although she had something to hide, she still felt that she had something to do.
In fact, Concubine Shuhui was only in her thirties, and she should be in her prime, but when Chunxi saw her, she was a little old, looking more than ten years older than her actual age.
Later, she asked the consultant about what he hadn't finished before, and only then did she know that the little brother was asked for by the Empress Dowager in person by Concubine Shuhui. said that he had lived in the harem for many years, and he was lonely, and he wanted to find a companion, and when he saw that Rong Guiren was waiting to give birth, he asked the little brother to raise him personally.
Although she has never raised a child, she is meticulous when taking care of her little brother, which makes Chunxi very surprised.
She didn't know what happened to Concubine Shuhui when she was young, but for a person who lived in a deep place, what she did was too surprising.
If she's afraid of loneliness, she shouldn't. There are four concubines living in Shoukang Palace, and they have been together for many years, so there is no reason to be lonely and lonely.
If she likes children and wants to raise a companion, then why didn't she take away the children born to Rong Guiren before, but only said that she would raise them after the death of three children.
There are too many puzzles in this that Chunxi can't figure out, but when I heard the consultant say that Concubine Shuhui was very good to the little brother, I felt that she was out of true feelings. Because when Chunxi saw her, she didn't look like she was pretending.
If you don't really like it, you're guilty.
Guilty of what? Chunxi suddenly had a bold idea, Concubine Shuhui gave people a handle and killed the little brother, so she felt guilty? But who did she instruct? Concubine Shuhui is the sister of the Queen Mother, is she the Queen Mother?
This idea was quickly rejected by Chunxi, because she didn't think that the life and death of the little brother would pose any threat to the queen mother.
Just when she was at a loss, something happened that frightened her incomparably.
Shu Sleeve is dead!
On the seventh day of Little Brother's death, Shu Sleeve's body was found in a pool in the small garden. This incident plunged Chunxi into incomparable darkness.
Rumors in the palace are rife, intensifying, and have reached the point where they cannot be controlled.
All the spearheads are pointed at Chunxi, they believe that Chunxi is jealous and sees Rong Guiren giving birth to little brothers one after another, while her own children were killed before they were born. was blinded by the devil, and the vicious heart spread out, and asked Shu Sleeve to push the little brother into the pool, and then kill people, and sink Shu Sleeve's body at the bottom of the pool to hide, so that no one can prove that she ordered the killing. After seeing the death of the little brother, she pretended to be sad so that others would not suspect her, so as to cover up the crime. Unexpectedly, the sky net was restored, and Shu Sleeve's body would surface for people to discover, and the matter was revealed.
Some people even said that when they saw Chunxi arguing with Dong Guiren, they pushed Dong Guiren to the wall fiercely, with a fierce look in his eyes, as if even Dong Guiren wanted to kill.
Chunxi couldn't help but feel funny, the versions in these mouths are a little subtly different, but the general meaning is that Chunxi let Shu Sleeve kill people, and then kill Shu Sleeve to kill his mouth. As if they had seen it with their own eyes, they all had a clever mouth for storytelling.
Xuan Ye asked Chun Xi not to leave the door of Yikun Palace recently, and strictly ordered the palace not to spread rumors, and beheaded him in violation of the order.
But even so, it still can't stop their mouths. Instead, it made them feel that Xuan Ye was covering her up and making things worse.
For a while, Chunxi changed from a nobleman who was the envy of thousands of people in the harem to a demon girl who seduced the emperor with a vicious heart.
This change is something that Chunxi could never have imagined.
Before, she knew the horror of this harem and the horror of rumors. But this time, she realized what a terrifying thing it was.
It was also at this time that she understood the purpose of Dong Guiren appearing in front of her that morning and deliberately stopping her. It's just to confirm her murder, and make people feel how terrible her heart is.
Listening to Mu Hui coming back from outside, Shu Sleeve did die on the day of the little brother's death. The cause of death was that someone stunned her, hung a stone on her, and drowned in the pool.
Even though she knew that someone was manipulating her behind her back and wanted to frame her, she was helpless. She didn't even have the confidence to refute, everything was pointed at her, and she was completely defenseless.
She also lost contact with Han Hee, and she didn't know where she went, with no clues. Even the Empress Dowager, who had always loved her, had never summoned her, and Xuan Ye had cut her off from everything outside the Yikun Palace.
After infinite fear and anxiety, Chunxi gradually calmed down. As time passed little by little, finally three days later, Chunxi met Han Ji.
It seems that Han Ji can't care about keeping a distance from her, and she can't care about their relationship being discovered. She walked straight in through the gate of Yikun Palace.
"Sister." almost pounced, and the moment she saw Han Ji, she hugged her tightly.
"I'm sorry I'm late." Han Ji also reached out to hug her.
"Where has my sister been these days? Why is there no news at all? Chunxi looked at her anxiously, but saw a smile on that stunning face.
Han Ji said: "The matter has already come to an eyebrow. I personally went to see Mama Zhao in the cell of the Shen Penal Division, but she was hard-mouthed and refused to reveal anything. I returned in vain, so I sent someone to inquire about her details, and used her family as a threat, and finally she opened up. ”
Seeing the good news, her eyebrows and eyes also stretched, and she asked urgently: "Can you tell the truth?" ”
Han Ji didn't hesitate and told the whole story: "She didn't say who pushed the little brother down, only that she got up in the middle of the night and found that a note appeared on the side of her bed, which said that she would take the little brother to the edge of the pond in the small garden, and said that if she didn't do it, she would kill her family." Although she didn't know who it was, she was afraid that her family's life would be really threatened. The above only said that she should take the little brother to the small garden, and she didn't think it was a difficult thing, so she did it. This went on for several days, and every night there would be a note asking her to take the little brother the next day.
Until the day when the little brother drowned, she just took the little brother to the pool, and saw a note where she usually sits, which said to let her go farther. She had no choice but to do so, find a place to watch secretly, and saw a figure walk behind the little brother, pick up the little brother and throw it into the pond, she was frightened and screamed, and the man heard the sound and immediately ran away.
This scream attracted many people, and some eunuchs went into the water to scoop up the little brother, but it was too late, and the little brother had already drowned. ”
After listening to it, Chunxi felt creepy. It turned out that someone had been carefully planning this matter for many days, just waiting for her to go.
"But who is the person who threw the little brother into the pool, didn't she see clearly?"
"It's just a palace maid." Han Ji said again.
Chun Xi couldn't help but guess again: "Is it really Shu Sleeve?" ”
Han Ji shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either. Although there is a clue to this matter, it is like a thread removal group here, and I have found a thread, but I don't know what to do next.
"It looks like things are back to Shu Sleeve." After a long time, Han Ji said something.
Chunxi also agreed with her idea, and previously speculated that Shu Sleeve might have nothing to do with this matter, but now it seems that it is not the case. Now that Shu Sleeve is dead, the place where he died is the same as that of Little Brother, which is really incomprehensible.
It was as if they had fallen into a bottomless pit, unable to find an exit, and even the sunlight was a little dim.
After discussing it for a long time, they still decided to start with Shu Sleeve. This time, to find out all about Shu Sleeve's past, it is also unpredictable who the mastermind behind this scene is.
Although they guessed that Concubine Tong was in their hearts, they were not so sure.
This may just be a woman's instinct, I don't know if it's accurate, but that's what I think.
Chun Xi asked the advisor to investigate, while Han Ji used her official position to walk around the Internal Affairs Office, trying to find some clues from there.
However, when they were just starting, Yikun Palace welcomed an unexpected guest.
This is the first time that Chunxi has met her since the incident. It's been almost ten days since I think about it.
When Chunxi first saw her, she was frightened, and thought she was here to ask the teacher. But after seeing her emaciated body, but unusual, very calm face, Chunxi suddenly understood that her purpose was not to settle accounts with her, but more like to find help.
"Sister Rong." Chunxi trembled when she heard her voice, in fact, at this time, what she was most afraid of was seeing her.
Rong Guiren was very calm, and asked Chunxi to send away all the palace people and only speak alone.
was silent for a long time, until she felt that she was so uncomfortable that she couldn't breathe, that she heard Rong Guiren's hoarse voice: "You checked the wrong direction." ”
Chunxi was shocked by this sentence, how did she know that she was secretly investigating? On the surface, Xuan Ye sent people from the Shen Criminal Division to investigate the origin of the matter. Even Xuan Ye herself is probably just guessing that she is personally inquiring about this matter.
"People must not be killed by Shu Sleeve, Shu Sleeve is Wan Guifei's person." Rong Guiren's next words surprised Chun Xi even more.
What did she say? Shu sleeves are Wan Guifei's people? No way, she's not...... Thinking about it carefully, it is actually not impossible, this Shu Sleeve also went to Yongshou Palace that day. Could it be that the mastermind behind all this is Wan Guifei?
She pretended to use the relationship between Shu Sleeve and Lian Xue to make herself think that Shu Sleeve was Concubine Tong's person. Actually, it has always been Concubine Wan who has been trying to hurt her?
Chunxi couldn't help but feel a chill in her back, and she was frightened by her own speculation.
How is that possible? There is no need for Concubine Wan to harm her. She has been friends with Concubine Yun since she entered the palace, and anyone will feel that she is on her side and her own person. How can you attack your own people?
It's hard to say that Concubine Wan feels that she is too favored, and she is afraid that she will one day get out of her control, so she will strike first?
But she thought again, it shouldn't be. Even if you want to deal with yourself, there is no need to use the children of the noble people as a funeral. Rong Guiren is also her person, how is it possible?
