The back garden of Qiuliao Palace is not very big, only a pond and a forest, and you can't see anything even if you are blinded by the black lights. The chamberlain Jia didn't search the forest at all, and he knew in his heart that Qi Zhong and the others might have turned this grove upside down.

"Are you sure you've looked for this garden?" Regarding the question of the chamberlain, Qi Zhong's expression was very sad: "I've found it, master." I've searched everywhere, and I'm three feet away from digging into the ground. ”

The chamberlain Jia pointed to the pond: "What about the water?" ”

Qi Zhong was stunned for a moment, and suddenly reacted: "Master, you mean ------ hi!" He slapped his thigh, and immediately turned around and said, "You guys, take off your clothes, go into the water to touch it, and see if people are in the water?" ”

Several water-based guards stripped off and went into the water, and they went on a trip and a dive, tossing and turning for a long time, but they found nothing except some aquatic plants. The chamberlain Jana muffled: "There is no water either." Could it be that the erection gave birth to wings and flew away? ”

He turned his head and asked Qi Zhong, "Is there any other place in the garden that we haven't searched?" ”

Qi Zhong tilted his head and thought for a long time: "I heard that there is a well in the west, and because the water is a little salty, few people go there to fetch water." Oh, I see, master! ”

As soon as the chamberlain Jia saw the well, his heart was half cold, and he felt that his inference was wrong. Because this wellhead is too small, if it is a petite and delicate palace maid, it can barely jump in, if it is an inner servant like Erect Diao------ it is still quite difficult to stuff the body in. But the matter has come to this, the dead horse has the right to be a live horse doctor!

Looking down from the mouth of the small well, I saw a bottomless and swarthy still water, and I couldn't see anything. I put down the well rope and scooped the reel for a long time, but nothing was fished up except the well water. The chamberlain Jia finally let go, but he was still unwilling: "Send someone to guard this back garden, and report back to me as soon as there is any movement." ”

The queen's funeral was held in the main hall, and the middle palace was extraordinarily quiet these days, and in the secluded row house at the back, there were faint screams and lamentations, and along the direction of the wind, some of the mangroves outside were passed to the center of the outside.

Dong'er craned her neck to look out of the window and muttered, "Why hasn't there been a sound for a long time?" ”

Huang Huan sat on the bed, teasing the third prince Ji Ci softly, and raised his head when he heard the words: "You are really interesting, you are restless when there is a sound, and you are worried about it when there is no sound." ”

Dong'er smiled bitterly, walked to Huang Huan's side, and whispered: "Thinking of the day the queen died, I feel like a cat in my heart." Looking at the appearance of the king these days, don't you be angry that we didn't take care of the queen that day, right? ”

Huang Huan pondered for a long time: "Your thoughts are not unreasonable. But the queen's death has nothing to do with us, and I think the king is also clear, so the less we know about this matter, the better. Seeing that Lord Zhaoguo has not slept for the past few days, I am afraid that it has already been tried. I don't know anything else, that Qiuliao Palace and Xuanning Palace must be inseparable this time. ”

"That's what the mother said." Dong'er frowned: "The king gave Yiji to death, and the princess is ------ her."

Huang Huan said solemnly: "I hope she can figure it out." ”

In the main hall, Ji Xie, the king of Zhouyi, was listening to Zhao Bohu's interrogation report with a calm face.

"The minister interrogated the people of Qiuliao Palace and Xuanning Palace, and now the facts are clear. This matter was made by Yi Ji of the cold palace, and the fox mother who was responsible for delivering the food passed the message to the palace maid Meizi of Xuanning Palace, and first tried to get rid of the middle palace Lingqi Yang Xi. and then tried to reveal the tragic death to the queen, causing the mother's fetal gas to move early, and then the mother who had bought it before did something when the queen gave birth. However, because the queen temporarily summoned his wife into the palace, Wen Po had nowhere to start, so she had to forcibly tear off her clothes after the birth of the fourth prince, causing the queen to hemorrhage after childbirth. ”

Ji Xie's teeth clenched: "What does this matter have to do with Concubine E?" ”

When Zhao Bohu raised his eyes, he was kneeling, and from his angle, he could only see King Yi's slightly bulging cheeks, tight, gritting his teeth. He lowered his head: "Because Meizi refused to admit it, she only said that she did it alone, and it had nothing to do with the second concubine." Therefore, the jury is inconclusive. ”

"What did one person do it?" Ji Xie roared violently: "A palace maid, if no one directs her, where did she get so much gold to buy Wen Po?" She thought she had bitten her to death, so she took Lone as a fool? ”

"The king is angry." Zhao Bohu kowtowed and persuaded.

Ji Xie reluctantly calmed himself down: "What about the Autumn Palace?" ”

Many people in the two palaces testified that Meizi and Concubine Ji Jiang's personal attendant Jian Diao were very close, and the two often met and talked. According to the records of entering and exiting the palace gate, Erection has left the palace several times in the past two months. According to the minister's inference, Ji Diao is the intermediary between the palace and the outside of the palace, but this person is missing, and the minister and the inner chamberlain Jia searched the inner palace, but there is still no trace. ”

The door of the main hall "squeaked", and the chamberlain Jia shrunk his hands and walked in, and muttered, "Your lord, I have found it." ”

"Where?" Zhao Bohu and Ji Xie asked almost at the same time.

"He threw himself into the well. I think the corpse has been soaked in water in the past few days, and it finally surfaced in the afternoon today, although the body has doubled in size, but when the people of Qiuliao Palace identify it, they all say that it is erect. ”

"Didn't you say that the mouth of the well is so narrow that you can't get into it at all?" Zhao Bohu asked.

The chamberlain Jia looked annoyed: "That guy is cunning, he took off his clothes, and then wrapped his clothes and a big stone together and tied them under his buttocks, and with the slippery strength of the well wall, he sank hard." I don't know what kind of medicine that guy has taken, but he has to die so hard-heartedly. ”

Zhao Bohu sighed: "In this way, the line connecting the Qiu Yu Palace and the outside of the palace will be broken." There is no way to convict Ji Jiang's second concubine, and there is no way to determine who is helping outside. Alas! ”

"The minions knew that there was something strange about the white paper kite. It's a pity that I didn't care about it at the time. When the chamberlain Jia thought about it, he was really infinitely annoyed.

"What white paper kite?" King Zhou Yi asked.

"Oh, that day, the slave led people to the vicinity of the Qiuxiao Palace, and saw a white paper kite floating in the sky, which looked very strange. Next, the minions searched the whole palace, but they didn't find it, thinking that he committed suicide by throwing himself into the well at that time. ”

"In this way," Zhao Bohu dragged out his tone: "That white paper kite is a signal that Ji Diao has made an appointment with his master outside the palace, as long as he sees it, the governor has been exposed, and he needs to commit suicide to keep the secret." It must be so! ”

"A mere close servant, why is it a pity to live or die?" Ji Xie roared angrily and slammed his fist on the desk. I only heard a loud noise, and a few clusters of begonia flowers decorated with rosewood carvings were already broken: "Loneliness is the lord of the world, why do you need any human evidence and material evidence to convict people?" Bring Eyao to the main hall first! ”

"No!" The chamberlain Jia bowed and said, he knew in his heart that Ji Xie, the king of Zhouyi, was not an irritable person, but once he was angry, he would be thunderous, and maybe now was just the beginning.
