Chapter 18: The Dry Well

Concubine Wen specially picked a steady color, purple Ruyi moire robe, and the white jade sideburns on her head were also decent, and she waited in the side pavilion of Xingqing Hall after breakfast.

The Empress Dowager Yanping ate the Buddha for seven days, just came back from the Gandao Temple, because the condition of the Emperor Brother of Nan Zheng Guo has been stabilized, the diet of the two days is also normal, and she got up yesterday, and the situation is better than the last time.

"The ministers don't dare to make decisions about this matter, so they can only come to ask for your opinion." Concubine Wen took the tea bowl from the palace maid's hand, respectfully handed it over in person, and slowly told the matter, but she didn't dare to say the whole thing. It's just that one of the eunuchs in her palace suddenly disappeared and found the Xingqing Palace.

Yanping Empress Dowager Xiao Hexiang is the descendant of the Xiao family in Lanling, Nanzheng Guo, the Xiao family is the minister of the humerus, and it is also one of the most famous families in the South Zheng State, but the descendants are withering, to the parents of the Empress Dowager Yanping, there are only two brothers Xiao Yongwang and Xiao Yongping, Xiao Yongwang has a son and a daughter, the Empress Dowager Xiao Heyu and the brother of the compatriot Xiao Luo, Xiao Luo inherited the title of Xiao, known as Xiao Guogong. And Xiao Yongping's only one son, Xiao Shou, died early, and only one daughter remained, which is Xiao Huayue, the current queen of Nanzheng State.

Empress Dowager Yanping glanced at Concubine Wen, Concubine Wen was not pleasant, but she didn't want to care about the affairs of the harem, so she needed someone who could handle it.

"Concubine Wen, in this way, you should have empirical evidence?" Empress Dowager Yanping glanced at Concubine Wen, Concubine Wen suppressed the eagerness in her heart, this matter cannot be rushed, the other party is the heir of King Duan, although he is not favored, he is also the lord of the county. However, Concubine Wen knew that this Chaoren county lord was a thorn in the queen mother's heart.

As long as the Queen Mother is involved in the Lord of Chaoren, her goal will be half achieved.

Concubine Wen glanced at Kang Ning.

"Bring people in."

Hongsilk was escorted in by the two grandmothers, pale and frightened, and did not dare to struggle, let alone escape, and knelt down tremblingly.

"Return, return to the Queen Mother, the concubine Niangniang, the slave maid went to the imperial garden to find flowers and branches on the second day of heavy snow, Yu Gonggong told me that there are still intact flower branches in the southeast corner, and the slave maid followed Yu Gonggong to the east corner of Xingqing Palace When he met a few strange palace maids and eunuchs, and their masters were dressed very gorgeously, the slaves and maids did not know, the slaves and maids thought that they were which mothers in the palace, and were about to speak, but they suddenly moved and killed Yu Gonggong......" Hongsilk said intermittently, "The slave and maid saw that the situation was not right, Quickly slipped away......"

Empress Dowager Yanping squinted, not that she didn't believe it, but that she had the impression that the one in Qishun Building would not have such courage. The last time she saw her, she was embarrassed because she fell into the river, she was not necessarily timid, but she had never been out of Qishun Tower, how could she be so bold.

It's just that Fu Xun is right, it's just a female baby, and she always has to leave a way for King Duan.

"If you saw it, why did you say it now?"

Hongsu suddenly panicked, knowing that if she said the wrong word, her life would be lost, so she immediately kowtowed.

"The slave and maid were cowardly, and when they came back, they fell ill, but what the slave and maid said was true."

"Queen Mother, it was the other palace maids in Bushou Palace who heard those nonsense, and then they came up to tell us, and we only knew about it." Concubine Wen then explained, "Besides, we asked Disciple Changzhen to go on a trip in person. Now I have found where the body is, but this place ...... "Concubine Wen is not in a hurry, he has already let people see that place, and he has not moved, just waiting for the Queen Mother to see it in person."

"Then go and see." Empress Dowager Yanping said lightly, she has seen a lot of methods in the palace, since she didn't succeed, do you still expect to find out some clues?

……

"Cousin, open the door." Outside the courtyard of Qishun Building, the knocking on the door has been going on for some time.

Xingyu hesitated, and had been knocking for a while, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had come down and would not let the four princes in.

"Master, the fourth prince still refuses to leave." Nian Xia thought about it and came in to pass the word, it was not a way to knock it down like this.

Zheng Nianru painted the appearance in her hand, Xueliu's embroidery is the best, and she is ready to let her learn to make clothes, and she will not leave the prince after she even has to make clothes.

"County Lord, the Fourth Highness seems to have something important." Yun Niang also walked in, the kid was talking at the door, speechless, but one or two sentences came into Yun Niang's ears, and Yun Niang quietly repeated a few words in front of Zheng Nianru.

Zheng Nianru raised her head after listening.

"The mage of the Qiandao Temple?" She said that she was in conflict with this Gandao Temple, and she couldn't do without these people.

"The Fourth Highness said that Master Changzhen was looking for someone and found here."

Zheng Nianru stood up and walked out.

"Cousin, you finally open the door, hurry up and see if there is anything in the dry well outside your yard." Zheng Haoyuan hurriedly pointed to the northwest direction of Qishun Building, but he forced two eunuchs to figure it out.

"There are dead people." Zheng Nianru said truthfully, she didn't ask Xingyu what they did with the corpse, but Xingyu didn't hide it, besides, this Qishun Building was already remote, not surprisingly, Xingyu threw the corpse into the dry well as usual.

"Are there really dead people?" Zheng Haoyuan was taken aback, cousin killed those minions? That must be the damned minions.

"Cousin, I'm really not joking with you, my mother has already told the Queen Mother about it." I'm afraid that at this time, the Queen Mother already knows.

Zheng Nianru didn't move, Yun Niang and Fudong, Nianxia and others behind him were a little anxious, and Xueliu and Xingyu immediately went out.

"Fourth Highness, come back to play another day, we are very busy today." Yun Niang hurriedly rushed people.

"Come on, come on." Zheng Nianru was faint, and the Queen Mother was extremely reluctant to see herself. Kill her? The Queen Mother didn't dare. Is it cold to her? Anyway, it's been cold for so many years, Zheng Nianru remembers the memories of those years of hunger and cold, can it be worse than this?

"Fu Gong." Zheng Haoyuan was just about to leave, but Zheng Nianru stopped him.

"Cousin, but you want to help?"

"Well, come here." Zheng Nianru beckoned, there had never been such a situation in her previous life, and in this life, she didn't want to have anything to do with the prince, so she still had to make some preparations.

"Blowing in winter, thinking about summer, you move quickly." Yun Niang was anxiously urging while looking outside.

Snow willow and Xingyu hurriedly turned back again.

"What's wrong? Dealt with? Yun Niang looked at the two of them, no, such a short period of effort, it is not enough to come and go, so fast.

"Mama, it's surrounded by people, and we can't get in." Snow Willow's face was a little pale.

"Don't worry about it for now, go over there first." Yun Niang hurriedly took Zheng Nianru out of Qishun Building, after a garden that was not dense, the Qishun Building looked dilapidated from the front, the doors and windows and steps were broken, and the tables and chairs inside the door were broken.

The Queen Mother naturally disdained to come in, and those grandmothers only saw the dilapidated front of Qishun Building, and they never went in once.

At this time, Zheng Nianru had been changed into an extremely ordinary dress by Yun Niang, which was worse than an ordinary palace maid.

"County Lord." At this moment, several grandmothers from the Queen Mother's Palace came in at the main gate of Qishun Building, and after a glance at the scene in the courtyard, their eyes fell on Zheng Nianru.

They still have some impressions.

"County Lord Wan'an, the Queen Mother invites the county lord to take a trip." Mama Lin said coldly.

Yun Niang glanced anxiously at her own county lord, Zheng Nianru glanced at Yun Niang, what are you panicking, is the corpse here they killed?

Those dead people can't open their mouths, and if they die in that well, can they say that they did the yin?
