Chapter 62: A Mystery to be Solved
The old woman gripped the spear of the Forbidden Army tightly, and she smiled bloodily in the direction of the falling snow, and there was no hatred in her eyes. Qi Yuan was shocked by this smile, it was the first time he had seen a person who could keep this smile before he was killed, and he could still be so relieved.
It's just that she was indeed killed, Qi Yuan knows who did it, and Luo Xue also knows who did it. Qi Fei, who was standing beside the Queen Mother, looked at the old woman quietly, he didn't care about the life and death of the old woman at all, he faintly felt that there must be something unknown between his mother and the emperor.
In this matter, his mother buried it deep in her heart, and she did not hesitate to kill many people to destroy the evidence.
The old woman's hand finally let go, and she fell to the ground laughing, the red flowers on her head falling from her hair and falling on the cold stone slab. The death of the old woman caused a commotion, some of whom had never seen a dead man, but the appearance of the old woman before her death was really a little horrible.
Kerr's body was trembling all the time, but she didn't shed tears, she held back her tears. Luoxue glanced back at Ke'er, who was very strong, with sadness and hatred in her eyes.
This hatred is the hatred for killing the old man, and the sadness is because she has lost the only loved one in the world, and judging from Kerr's appearance, Luoxue can guess that this mute girl is actually extremely strong and forbearing.
There are dead people in the palace again, and it's only been two days, and there hasn't been such a thing in the palace for many years.
She was wrapped in a straw mat and thrown into a mass grave outside the palace, and the square was washed ten times so as not to defile the place. The Queen Mother said coldly.
Qi Yuan's eyes were cold, he was with a hint of anger at the moment, it was because Qi Fei secretly killed people under his eyelids. It was an old palace maid who was not at fault for killing it, and it was a person with many stories, the only person who knew about Qiongyuan.
"Wait, prepare a coffin, bury it well, I don't know who she is, but there's nothing wrong with it. Although she is now the fourth year of King Jun, she is wearing the palace clothes of the previous dynasty, and she must be very nostalgic for the era of King Gu. In this way, she was buried in the west of the city, where didn't many former palace people be buried?" Qi Yuan's voice was cold, and the words "orphans of Qiongyuan" always appeared in his mind, so who is Concubine Hua, the owner of Qiongyuan?
Before the old man died, he must have sung in his mouth that Concubine Hua, the owner of Qiongyuan, must be a stunning woman, but why did his father never mention this person?
It was somewhat surprising that the emperor was so kind to an old palace maid, but those people also felt that this emperor also had a benevolent side. The queen mother didn't dare to say anything, she was dead, and she still had to give this emperor a little bit of thin face in front of the ministers.
"The emperor is merciful, clean up, and everyone continues to enjoy the lanterns. The stone in the queen mother's heart finally landed, and she continued to enjoy the lanterns as if nothing had happened.
But Qi Yuan was difficult to calm down, this lantern must be related to the dead old woman and the song Lin Wan sang. Why would the old woman say that she was relieved if she was wise, and why would she look at herself before she died, and then die with a smile?
"Brother Huang, the matter is over, can you continue to enjoy the lanterns?"
"This lamp is well kept, and all the houses in Qiongyuan will be unsealed tomorrow, and I will go to Qiongyuan to see it myself." Qi Yuan said coldly, his tone and expression were very serious, and Luo Xue was also very curious but didn't dare to say anything.
"The sixth brother is with you. ”
"How have you checked the affairs in the palace, you have to take care of the soldiers in your hands, and the same is true for the eighth brother. You all have the right to occupy one side on your own, and one day your soldiers will serve your country. Qi Yuan said meaningfully.
"Always ready!" Qi Yuan and Qi Shu replied.
"Zhaoping, if you don't want to live in Qiongyuan, I will move you elsewhere. Qi Yuan looked at the falling snow, and the falling snow said indifferently: "Don't bother, it's the same when you get used to living, there are many stories in Qiongyuan, but after all, they are all in the past." Zhaoping is so quiet, and I really like the style of Qiongyuan, which suits me. ”
Qi Yuan didn't say much, but he didn't understand why the Queen Mother arranged her in Qiongyuan, it was a mystery.
Luoxue knew that she couldn't go to see the old mother on her last journey, and that look said it all, the old mother came this time to remind the world not to forget the unjust death of the thirty-two palace maids in the previous dynasty. Don't forget the story of Qiongyuan, don't forget the Concubine Hua, and the past of "Qiongyuan orphans".
After this night, everyone did remember Qiongyuan, and they were curious about that garden, which was originally a garden full of reverie. After today, this Qiongyuan will be spread in the palace, and there will be people digging up the old things of the previous dynasty.
The old woman's body was carried away, and Qi Yuan explained that she must be buried in a coffin, and there must be no fraud. At least the old mother can still be buried in the ground, which is also a fortunate thing, and Luo Xue is sad but can't do anything.
She can't change the fate of her old mother, and she can't save her life, she just hopes that she can rest in peace.
Taking Kerr safe with her and letting her live better than before is an explanation to her, and Luoxue knows that Kerr is strong. Qi Yuan's matter will come to light one day, Luoxue knows but can't say it, now is not the time for her to keep reminding herself.
"The fourth brother killed her, the fourth brother killed the old palace maid without anyone's order, I can't imagine that this is the fourth brother in my eyes. The sixth prince shook his head and said, he saw his fourth brother pierce her chest with the sword qi on his fingers, and at that moment the sixth prince's head was blank.
"Whoever kills is the same, she never thought about getting out alive, and I have no intention of continuing to enjoy the lanterns. Qi Yuan's interest was completely ruined, and he had no intention of appreciating the lanterns.
From Jianhe Square to Nachizuki Square, they never saw a special lamp, and none of them were related to this lamp. This is indeed a disappointing thing, but Qi Yuan still accompanied the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs until late at night, and Luo Xue's heart could not be calm.
Everything was expected of the falling snow, and the old mother appeared, but she did not expect that she would die in such a way.
Kerr must have hated the Four Princes, that person killed her loved ones, maybe one day Kerr will take revenge, maybe she will never be able to avenge this revenge. The four princes and the queen mother are absolutely unusual, and even the emperor doesn't have the confidence to completely overthrow them, how can Ke'er do it?
"Tomorrow will open Qiongyuan, do you want to go in person?"
"Go, of course! I will find out one thing after another, including the Mochizuki bloody case, and I will not let go of any of them. Qi Yuan said categorically, he didn't want to fall into the heavy fog of this palace, which he didn't like.
Today's lantern night was not complete, and Qi Yuan also ordered to check the origin of the old woman, she must be the person who lives in the palace.
Luoxue and Kerr returned to Qiongyuan, this place suddenly made Luoxue feel strange, and when she returned to Qiongyuan, Kerr sat there silently. Wan'er didn't notice Ke'er's abnormality,
It was very late, and the falling snow made them all sleep, and after Wan'er and the others left, the falling snow hugged Kerr.
She finally shed tears and cried in Luoxue's arms, and at this moment Luoxue could only hold her like this.
Luoxue knows that Kerr's brother killed the person who raised her life, and she also meets the rest of her siblings. Luoxue didn't know Ke'er's thoughts, whether she knew that she was a member of the royal family, but that eyebrow couldn't deceive people.
"Don't be afraid, it's all over, the road ahead is hard, but there is hope in life. Luoxue said this to Kerr, and at the same time to herself, and at this time she remembered a box and a letter. This was told to her by the old mother, this thing is in Qiongyuan, she must find it and give it to Qi Yuan.
This thing must be very important, maybe it is related to the reputation of the royal family and the life and death of some people, and this matter cannot be let the Queen Mother know.
Tomorrow Qiongyuan will be completely unsealed, Luoxue's heart can't be calm for a long time, and she doesn't know that her life has slowly changed. The real conflict, the real suffering, has not yet come, and the man who is protecting her will eventually become as ruthless and unrighteous as before.
Their love and hate will break the hearts of countless people and feel distressed, and the falling snow does not know when it will come, but it can also foresee the arrival of this day.
