He's dead?

Obviously, she had only seen her at noon, and she smiled and boasted about her craftsmanship and let herself taste the bamboo leaf wine she brewed.

Unexpectedly, it was the last time he and Sun Guiren met.

Sun Guiren is not an ordinary palace maid, her father was a third-grade official in the previous dynasty, and he can be regarded as a head and face.

She died suddenly, and this matter must not be left as it is.

There was only one wound on Sun Gui's body, and that one was also a fatal injury.

The wound on her forehead was deep to the bone, and the bloody stone was not far from where her body was found.

At first, everyone thought that she had accidentally fallen and hit her head on the stone, but after the examination, she said that the wound on her forehead seemed to be only one, but in fact, she was repeatedly smashed in the same position many times, deliberately faking it as an accident.

So the tragedy turned into a murder case, and people in the palace were panicked for a while.

After entering the palace for many years, Sun Guiren has never offended others, and the only time he was ruthless was to execute Xiao Shunzi under Shen Ci's 'calculation'.

The person who took her life was so ruthless that he was not prepared to leave her a way to live, which shows that the two have a grudge.

But there was no object of suspicion for a while.

When I went to the queen's palace in the early morning to ask for peace, the concubines were all worried, and they didn't know whether it was true or not, anyway, everyone did a lot of play.

The queen was even more sad and choked up, "Everyone already knows about Sun Guiren, and the Queen Mother called the palace to Xianshou Palace overnight, and instructed the palace to find out the real culprit behind the scenes and redress Sun Guiren's grievances." ”

Concubine Chen said with a sad face: "Sun Guiren has always had a good relationship with us, who would do such a poisonous thing to her?" She looked at Shen Ciwu and asked, "Shen Guiren, you live with her, do you have eyebrows about this?" ”

"My sister is kind to others, and she has never offended anyone. The concubine didn't know who had such a thought. ”

"You don't know, but someone knows."

Outside the door, the Queen Mother's voice sounded.

She entered with a gloomy face, followed by Gonggong Chen in the imperial dining room.

It was only after everyone greeted the Queen Mother that she ordered Gonggong Chen to reply.

"Yesterday, the slave was ordered to go to the bamboo forest to pick bamboo shoots, and when he came out, he happened to meet Shen Guiren and Sun Guiren talking on the trail. The slave invited the two masters to be safe, and after thinking that there was still something to do, he didn't stay long. When the slave left, Shen Guiren and Sun Guiren were still talking and laughing there. ”

His words made everyone look at Shen Ciwei with suspicion.

She could only explain: "The concubine happened to meet Sun Guiren there, so she chatted with Sun Guiren for a few words. But this is just a normal thing, the Queen Mother will not suspect the concubine just because the concubine and Sun Guiren said a few words, right? ”

Concubine Hui raised her eyes and asked in an interrogative tone: "Xiuzhu Forest is the most remote place in the imperial city, and Sun Guiren went there to pick bamboo leaves to make bamboo leaf wine, but what are you doing there?" ”

"No matter how remote it is, it's not an unsightly place, Sun Guiren can go, why can't I go?"

Concubine Hui sneered, "Heh, of course you can go." It's just that you went to such a remote place for no reason, which inevitably arouses suspicion. ”

Concubine Luo echoed out of nothing: "Queen Mother, Sun Guiren has mentioned to her concubine many times that she and Shen Guiren have many discords. When Shen Guiren was still there before, he relied on the emperor's favor to offend Sun Guiren many times. Sun Guiren is soft and kind, but she can't be bullied for no reason, so she will be reprimanded for occasional grievances. It is estimated that it is because of this matter that Shen Guiren has a grudge in his heart. Later, she became a nobleman, and after she was on an equal footing with Sun Guiren, she made it difficult for her in every way, and Sun Guiren mentioned it to her concubine several times! ”

Listening to her nonsense, Pei'er couldn't listen to it anymore, and hurriedly refuted for Shen Ci: "How can Concubine Luo Niangniang wronged my little master indiscriminately? The little master of my family and Sun Guiren have always gotten along harmoniously, and the minions of Yong'an Palace are all witnesses, where can there be such things in the mouth of Concubine Luo? ”

Concubine Luo glared at Pei'er, "Your master is powerful, and you are a minion, do you think you are amazing?" What is the matter with you, a servant, when the master speaks, where can you be allowed to reply? Those palace people in Yong'an Palace worship high and low, at this moment Sun Guiren is dead, in order to protect themselves, they naturally dare not tell the truth. ”

She looked at the Queen Mother and shook her head helplessly, "I think that if the Queen Mother wants to ask again at this moment, I'm afraid that I won't be able to ask anything from the mouths of these minions." It seems that only by torture can these minions spit out the truth! ”

Luo Concubine's trick is not a good trick out of nothing, but the Queen Mother already has a lot of complaints about Shen Ci, if she agrees to torture the palace people in the east and west halls of Yong'an Palace, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no palace people who will confess some untrue words in order to avoid punishment.

Shen Ci's worried eyes glared at Concubine Luo, "I said that Sun Guiren had an accident left and right in Shen Shi, and the concubine had already returned to her palace at noon, how could she be the concubine's poisonous hand?" ”

At this moment, Concubine Hui added fuel and vinegar and said: "Hey, can Shen Guiren say it~ When did you go back to the palace, who else saw it except the palace people in Yong'an Palace?" You say that you will be able to go back at noon, and you will be able to go back at the end of the day, where can you be a guarantee? ”

What a thousand people are pointing out is difficult to argue.

Because of Li Mobai's 'great favor', Shen Ciwu no longer knows how to make enemies in the harem, as long as it is the dirty water poured on her, no one doesn't like to watch this excitement.

Pei'er and Qi'er, who were standing behind her, glanced at each other, and then suddenly stepped forward and knelt in front of the Queen Mother.

Pei'er said: "Queen Mother, in order to protect the innocence of my little master, the slave is willing to be punished. ”

Qi'er has always been timid, and thunder on rainy days can scare her into crying. But at this moment, she said extremely firmly: "The slave is also willing to prove the innocence of the little master!" ”

Concubine Luo sneered: "What a drama of deep love between master and servant, since you are begging to be punished, it will not fulfill you, isn't it in vain to blind your heart?" ”

She looked at the Queen Mother and said, "Queen Mother, it's good that the minions have such thoughts. If all the 132 punishments of the Shen Criminal Division have been given and the ability to prove Shen Guiren's innocence, it is somewhat credible. ”

How could Shen Ciwu watch his good sister, who has always protected him wholeheartedly, suffer like this?

She got up and knelt in front of Pei'er and Qi'er to protect them behind her, "Queen Mother Mingjian, Pei'er and Qi'er are both women, where can they bear those punishments?" If you are really tortured to prove the innocence of your concubine, I am afraid that people will lose their lives! ”

The Queen Mother stared at her condescendingly, and her voice was cold, "The emperor said that you are not under the jurisdiction of the harem, and the mourning family can't move you, can't even the two palace maids move?" ”

She waved her sleeves and commanded in a loud voice: "Come on, take these two maids to the Shen Criminal Division, and tell the criminal officer that no matter what method is used, be sure to get the real thing out of their mouths for the mourning family!" ”

At this moment, Shen Ci's worried face had become very ugly.

Her eyes were full of hatred and swept over all the concubines present, and when she saw the corners of their mouths hooking up a yin owl smile, she wished to see all her jokes.

It doesn't hurt if she blindly endures and only affects herself, but now she can't even protect the people around her, so what's the difference between herself and a waste?

Thinking of this, she suddenly got up, stopped the guards who rushed towards Pei'er and Qi'er, and scolded loudly: "I'm here today, I'll see who dares to touch them!" ”

"Bold!" The Queen Mother said angrily: "How can you be presumptuous in front of the mourning family? You don't have to pay attention to her, and immediately drag these two palace maids away from the mourning family! ”

As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen guards rushed in.

They have a clear division of labor, forming a human wall to separate Shen Ciwei and Pei'er from Qi'er, seeing that Pei'er and Qi'er are about to be taken away, Shen Ci'er's anger value is also full at this moment.

She closed her eyes tightly and summoned the system:

[Xiao Tuotuo, help me exchange 50 points for Mighty Pills. 】

[Receive the host, this will help you redeem ~ Didi, the strong pill is successfully exchanged, the points are -50, and the remaining points are 0.]

As the palm of his hand became hot, a small blue pill appeared in Shen Ciwu's hand.
