Chapter 118: The Human Heart Is Unfathomable

Chen Meiren is not a figure in the harem, but she is the one who leads the way to Chi Xinian. The two only experienced a spring banquet together, and they became enemies of life and death, what will outsiders think when they see it?

Does she scold Chen Meiren for being a white-eyed wolf, or will she secretly guess that Chi Xi's chronology is inconsistent, and she embarrass her own people behind her back, so that her henchmen have to turn against her?

However, no matter what the outcome is, it is not a good thing for Chi Xinian.

She has only been in the palace for a short time, and there are few people available for the back seat.

Causing such a thing will undoubtedly hinder her pace of sitting firmly in the position of the lord of the six palaces.

"If you consider this matter according to the idea of sowing discord, then shouldn't the murderer be someone other than us?" Chi Xinian thought about the factions in the harem and frowned, "And outside of us, it seems that there is only Concubine Shu." ”

Chi Xinian said the name of Concubine Shu at once.

But Lin Jieyu shook her head and said cautiously: "Niangniang's words are wrong. It seems, and it really is, are two different things.

"In terms of the pros and cons on the surface, Concubine Shu Niangniang is indeed the most likely person. But secretly? The concubine believes that most of the palace concubines in the palace are unwilling to become vassals of others, and it is an expedient measure to rely on this person or that person at the moment.

"The person who doesn't seem to get the most benefit now is not necessarily not the murderer.

"Besides, even if you don't benefit yourself, you can do things to please others, right? Allowing others to benefit and then reaping the benefits is also a way to make a transaction. ”

"According to you, wouldn't the murderer be anyone?" Chi Xinian didn't agree with Lin Jieyu's statement.

Although there is some truth in what she said, it is too winding.

The words went back and forth, and the last suspect could not be ruled out.

This is not called inference, it is called provocative.

Probably sensing Chi Xinian's disapproval, Lin Jieyu paused slightly, and then softened her tone and said: "The concubine just wants to remind Niangniang not to easily divide people into the ranks of good people just because they don't look like them on the surface."

"People's hearts are unpredictable, and things need to be pondered a lot.

"After all, no matter who is the murderer, if it falls into the hands of His Majesty, he will have to take a small life."

"Hmm... You're right. Chi Xinian disagreed with her previous words, but it was still in line with Chi Xinian's intentions to be cautious.

No matter who the murderer is, according to Yan Chujing's temper, he has to shed his skin if he doesn't die.

So this person must not be mistaken.

Chi Xinian chatted with Lin Jieyu for a while, although he still couldn't lock the murderer, but he had a lot of ideas.

So, after drinking the last spoonful of pumpkin porridge, she decided: "This palace will go to the scene of the crime again, and I won't entertain you, so you can go back and rest early." ”

"Okay." Lin Jieyu nodded meekly, got up and saluted Chi Xinian, "Then the concubine will retreat first." ”

After saying that, she packed up the dishes and chopsticks and retreated.

Chi Xinian also returned to the main hall where the spring banquet was held, and once again pondered the situation of the people attending today's banquet.

...

The Lingyun Palace was brightly lit.

The warm orange candlelight reflected on the emperor, adding a little more fireworks to him and cutting off a bit of cold arrogance.

It just so happened that he had just finished bathing.

The solemn and gorgeous black dragon robe was retreated, and only a set of pure white cloud brocade lined up on his body, and then a smooth and slightly damp hair was draped behind him, and his whole person suddenly softened a lot.

It's just that the moment he raised his eyes, the coldness in his eyes still made Li Fusheng shiver.
