Chapter 55: Negotiations

One of the mothers said, "The slave and maid left only after the lights went out, and the candle was changed yesterday." ”

Feng Yan asked: "That is to say, it is very likely that Concubine Hu will wake up in the middle of the night and light the lamp, and then hang herself?" ”

The two grandmothers didn't know this, and looked at each other with embarrassed faces.

Although it is understandable to light the lamp first and then cast it, I always feel that something is weird.

Another grandmother said: "The slaves and maids sleep lightly at night, and they didn't hear any movement from the side concubine yesterday. ”

Feng Yan didn't ask again, but walked to Hu Lepei's corpse, lifted the white cloth, and saw that the marks on her neck did not look like they were left by hanging, but more like the marks of being strangled.

"Lord, something is wrong, do you want to invite me to come and have a look?"

The cold ink-stained gaze swept over the two grandmothers, confirming that they were not lying, and then asked Feng Yan to ask for help.

Xiao Xixi saw Hu Lepei lying on the ground with no blood on his face, and asked, "Do you want to send someone to inform Hu Fu?" ”

The daughter of a good family died not long after she got married, no matter what the reason was, the Hu Mansion should always have the right to know.

Leng Mo said: "When the cause of death is found out, this king will let people go to Hu Mansion to spread the word." ”

Yesterday, Hu Lepei's poisoning Leng Mo Ran did not let people tell Hu Fu, thinking that she was selected by the eldest princess to be his side concubine after all, and it was not good to make a big fuss.

Originally, he planned to let her dry for two days and then interrogate her personally, but he didn't expect the person to die like this.

If she committed suicide, it would be fine, and if she was killed, it means that outsiders in the palace can enter at will.

I have to guard against it.

Soon, Feng Yan will be invited.

He only glanced at the scar on Hu Lepei's neck and concluded that she had been strangled to death.

The traces of throwing are not the same as the traces of strangulation.

Feng Yan told him not to spread the word and drive him out, and then sent him out of the house.

Leng Mo Ran instructed people to go to Hu's mansion to spread the word, and buried Hu Lepei three days later, and at the same time told them that Hu Lepei wanted to drug him, and made it clear that Hu Lepei was wrong and could not be buried in the imperial tomb in the name of King Yan's concubine, and let the Hu family arrange the cemetery by themselves.

After the Hu family got the news, they discussed with Leng Mo Dye and announced that Hu Lepei had died of illness, which was considered to have completed her reputation after her death.

Leng Mo Ran privately told Hu Yushi that Hu Lepei was killed, but Hu Yushi had no intention of investigating it, so Leng Mo Dye was not reluctant.

For Hu Yushi, there are many daughters under his knees, and Hu Lepei is not favored.

In addition, if the person died in the palace, if it is investigated, the people behind it may be able to destroy the entire Hu Mansion.

So Hu Yushi doesn't plan to check.

On the side of the eldest princess and Emperor Honghui, Leng Mo Dye went to explain the situation in person.

Although the eldest princess regretted that the side concubine she personally selected was folded like this, she also looked down on women who approached men by this means.

Emperor Honghui had never seen Hu Lepei, and he had only heard about it, and he was very calm.

I thought that the matter would end here, but I didn't expect that Feng Yan was in Hu Lepei's room, and there were only tokens in the palace.

Leng Mo Ran stared at the token in a daze for a long time, not understanding who in the palace had anything to do with this.

If someone in the palace can do this kind of thing unknowingly, eighty percent of it has something to do with the emperor.

But he felt that this token seemed to be someone who wanted to blame the emperor, after all, there was no need for the emperor to send a woman to gain his trust.

This matter is over for the time being, but Leng Mo Ran feels that the mastermind behind the scenes is not simple, as if it is a powerful force, invisibly controlling everything.

Hu Lepei's death was like a small stone thrown into the lake, setting off a small wave, and soon the lake was calm.

Leng Mo Ran sent people to investigate for a long time, but he couldn't find out the real culprit, so he checked all the people in the palace, and at the same time strengthened the guards of the palace to ensure that outsiders could not enter.

Xiao Xixi is looking forward to every day when she will have the opportunity to go out to act, after all, the ladies in the house are very honest, and they follow her every day to eat, drink, read and write, making her useless.

At this time, Emperor Honghui announced that he was preparing for this year's royal autumn hunt, and the royal relatives and nobles and officials in the court were all on the list of escorts.

Cold ink dyeing is also included, of course.

When Leng Mo Ran sent someone to talk to Xiao Xixi to prepare for the royal hunt, Xiao Xixi was taking the cuckoo to eat in the small kitchen.

Hearing that he was going hunting, Xiao Xixi's eyes lit up.

Where there are many people, there will be trouble, not to mention the royal family and nobles, which is simply a chance for her to earn points.

However, when he thought of hunting, he had to ride and shoot, and Xiao Xixi's eyes dimmed again.

She was happy when she unlocked the force point before, thinking that no matter how much, at least a little, didn't she?

So she looked for an opportunity to wrestle with Ji Yue, and then she lost in seconds, and there was no chance of winning at all.

Okay, Ji Yue is really strong, and she also admits it.

I wanted to try to wrestle with Qiongyu and them again, but when I thought that the original owner knew martial arts, it would be okay if I couldn't break Ji Yue, after all, Ji Yue has always had a lot of strength, and it would be too bad to lose to Qiong Yu.

The system also reminded her that as long as she goes to bed early and wakes up early to exercise, her force value will increase.

Xiao Xi believed it, exercised very cooperatively, and even took her female dependents to do radio gymnastics together, and the force value rose by 6 after a few days of hard work, and she didn't notice the slightest change in her body.

If she goes hunting, then she can't ride a horse or shoot an arrow will be discovered.

Xiao Xixi silently negotiated with the system.

"I'm going on a royal hunt, but I can't shoot arrows on horseback, so you can do it!"

System: Why does "......" have a sense that its host is becoming more and more arrogant?

The host you can choose by yourself, they are a community of destiny, and they can only provide convenience for the host as much as possible.

However, it will not let itself suffer without a bottom line.

[The system temporarily opens the mall credit permission for the host, and the host can exchange it for a 24-hour riding and shooting level increase and force value increase, only 30 points are needed, which is super cost-effective!] 】

The corners of Xiao Xixi's mouth twitched, she wanted to prostitute the system for nothing, but she didn't expect it to be such a result.

Worried that the system would trap her in the future, Xiao regretted that she didn't get any more inches and agreed.

It takes three days to go out hunting, and Xiao Xixi handed over the affairs of the back house to Concubine Zong and Yihui, plus Mama Qi is there, there will be no chaos after all.

Qiong Yu and Rulan will also stay in the house, and Xiao Xixi only takes Ji Yue and a maid out of the house.

On the day of the royal hunt, hundreds of carriages went out of the city, and the people in Beijing felt that it was spectacular, after all, except for Emperor Honghui, who had just ascended the throne for two years, he had not seen it again in the past few years.

So many people came to the streets, wanting to see it with their own eyes.

Richly decorated carriages drove past the royal street, dazzling to watch.
