Originally, watering flowers was such a trivial matter, and there was no need for a second-class girl to do it, but this pot of orchids was a very favorite plant of the princess in the past, and Xianning had been taking care of it herself, but the orchids were raised too well, and they changed the pots a few times, and they really took up some space, so they moved to the west courtyard wall, I don't know if it was because the sun was not good and the humidity was too heavy, the orchid became more and more wilted, and finally died. Xian Ning has always felt a pity, and told Han Su several times.

Xue Ping walked to the place where Han Su said, and then slowly walked along the nearest straight line to the orchid.

Nothing out of the ordinary.

Xue Ping stood next to the orchid and said, "If I were Xian Ning, I would have remembered that the orchid was dead when I walked here, and then she had no choice but to turn around and ......"

Xue Ping said, following the movement under his feet, his body turned half a circle, looked up, and just saw something shaking, "Huh? ”

Mother Sun was puzzled: "What did the little guard Xue see?" ”

Xue Ping took a few steps forward and hissed, "I seem to really see something flashing by." ”

Han Shu said: "Why don't we go to the front...... Look? ”

The three of them walked along the path on the side of the house, but there was nothing abnormal, and Mother Sun couldn't help asking, "Little Guard Xue, are you mistaken?" ”

Xue Ping didn't know: "I didn't see it clearly, I just saw something move." ”

At this moment, a gust of wind blew, and something was blown up between the branches and leaves of the big tree in front of several people.

The three of them stared, and it turned out to be a kite!

Mother Sun was surprised: "Ah, isn't this the kite of the three-room five-girl girl?" ”

The fifth girl is the concubine of the second room, she likes to fly kites very much on weekdays, and the house has collected all kinds of beautiful kites, this one does not know when it floated here and got entangled in the tree, and the kite was blocked by the thick trunk, and the three of them did not see it, and the wind blew to see the shadow.

Xue Ping said: "Xian Ning may have also seen this kite fluttering...... Is she bold? ”

Han Su was a little surprised why he asked, but still replied: "She has been bolder than me since she was a child, and she often tells ghost stories to scare me. ”

When Xue Ping heard this, he looked around for a moment, and said: "Yesterday, Xian Ning walked to the wall to water the flowers, maybe like us, she saw the kite blown by the wind, but it passed by in a flash, she didn't see it clearly, she thought it was someone, just in time for Huiyueju The days have not been peaceful recently, she felt a little strange, so she walked here to take a look, just like us." ”

When he said this, he walked to the tree, pointed to a very inconspicuous corner gate behind the tree, and asked, "Where is this corner gate?" ”

"This corner gate used to walk a little way, that is, the second master lived in Hanshan Pavilion, the second master moved to Hanshan Pavilion at the age of seven to live alone, but at noon and evening will go to the princess's courtyard to eat, feel that the detour is troublesome, simply opened a corner door here. However, when the second master grew up, it was inconvenient for him to come to the princess often, so he abandoned it. ”

"Since it's been deprecated, why isn't it locked?"

"Some time ago, the uncle and grandmother were married, and the house was repaired everywhere, and some of the locks that had been rusted for a long time were removed and replaced. What does Xue Xiaowei mean by this, Xian Ning has passed Hanshan Pavilion from this corner gate? ”

Xue Ping listened to Han Shu's explanation, bent down to play with the grass next to the corner door, and sure enough, he saw a handful of green grass that was crushed, "Look here, it should have been stepped on not long ago." ”

Mother Sun and Han Shu glanced at each other, both a little surprised.

A girl quietly runs into the man's house, which is not a glorious thing, and it is easy to be suspected of climbing out of bed.

Especially the condensation is the princess's personal girl, and it is even more unsightly when things are spread.

If it weren't for this, Xian Ning would not have felt scared when she was hit by the princess yesterday, and Han Su would not have subconsciously hidden this matter.

Xue Ping said: "According to the hour, when the weeping vine was eating in the small kitchen, Xian Ning came to you, saying that he had a headache and asked you to help take leave with the princess......

Han Shu didn't want Mother Sun to misunderstand, so she said: "The second master was not in the house yesterday, I don't know if anyone else has seen Xianning." ”

Mother Sun said: "Why don't we go and tell the princess first, and then ask in Hanshan Pavilion." ”

Xian Ning is the princess's girl, and she went to the courtyard of the second master, of course, she had to report it to the princess before she went to investigate, so as not to blame the princess, Xue Ping nodded and said, "It's okay." ”

The three of them left the corner gate and went to the front to find the princess to report the situation, but the Lin family didn't say anything, and personally took them to Hanshan Pavilion, gathered all the people in the courtyard, and asked if anyone had seen Xianning.

Unfortunately, no one said they had ever seen Fidelity.

Lin said: "There are not many people serving in Brother Yi'er's yard, and he was not in the house yesterday, so the people must be doing their own things and not moving around." ”

Xue Ping Xue Ping thought for a moment and said, "Come all the way from the corner gate." The first to arrive should be the second master's study, bothering the princess, I don't know if the villain can go to the second master's study to have a look. ”

Lin didn't make a sound.

No one's study will allow anyone to enter, and Xue Ping, a subordinate, is actually a bit rude to make such a request.

Xue Ping also realized that his words were inappropriate, and hurriedly explained: "The princess misunderstood, the villain didn't want to enter the second master's study, but just thought that Xian Ning came along the road yesterday, and the first thing he arrived was the second master's study, and the villain wanted to take a look around the study." ”

The Lin family didn't forget that Xue Ping was the old lady's person, and smiled politely, "Xue Xiaowei, please." ”

Xue Ping saw that the Lin family didn't plan to go, so he bowed to her and went to the study with Mother Sun and Han Su.

Today, Gongsun intended to be in the house, and the three of them first made clear their intentions, and after getting his permission, they turned around outside the study, and then walked to the corner gate and stopped.

Xue Ping turned around and looked around, thinking about which way she would go if it was Xian Ning.

Han Shu knew that Xian Ning bumped into the princess under the study window, so she reminded vaguely: "If Xian Ning thinks of the kite as a human figure, she must think that someone has come from the corner gate, and the nearest place in front is the study, she will definitely go over to see if the second master is there first." ”

Xue Ping nodded, and walked forward with a light pace according to Han Shu's thoughts. After the corner, there is the attic window of the study, because it is the cool weather in late summer and early autumn, the partition window will be opened during the day for ventilation, and the partition window is also propped up at this time, and from their point of view, it is Gongsun Yi's table.

There are pens, ink, paper, inkstones and various books on the table, which are blown by the wind at this time, and the thin paper under the paperweight trembles slightly.

Gongsun Yi was sitting in front of the desk reading a book, and when he saw them coming over, he turned his head and nodded at them gently, "But what did you find?" ”

Xue Ping said: "The villain guessed that Xianning had come from the corner gate, but he stood here for a while and then returned, because at the beginning of the day, Xianning returned to his room to rest. ”

Gongsun Yi looked at him, "So, the reason why Xian Ning was killed was on the road connecting the corner gates, and after arriving at me. ”
