221. The corpse in the backyard of the restaurant
Something bizarre happened on Concubine Shu's side.
A strange thing also happened in the Empress's Fuyun Palace.
The queen hurriedly came to the Queen Mother's Cining Palace from the Yuqing Pavilion of the Concubine last night, and saw the emaciated appearance of the Queen Mother.
"Auntie, what's wrong with you?"
The queen mother was weak, and when she saw the queen, she took the queen's hand, "The mourning family is old, and you will rely on yourself in the future!" ”
The Queen Mother knew that she didn't have much time to live, and before leaving, she couldn't rest assured that she would not be able to leave her niece.
"Auntie, don't say stupid things, my niece is still waiting to play chess with you?"
"Playing chess?" The Queen Mother muttered, her thoughts went back to many years ago, in that familiar and unfamiliar place, there was their cheerful past.
"At that time, my aunt always let my niece, and this time my niece doesn't need you to let me." The queen took the queen mother's hand and put it on her face to feel the temperature brought by her face.
The Queen Mother is her only relative.
The queen felt that she realized too late and missed so many good times, and now she regrets it, and finds that the queen mother is no longer the same person she was back then, and she is old now.
Just as she was thinking about it, she felt the hand in her palm sinking, and the queen shook her head for a moment, and soon tears flowed down.
Mama Luo saw it clearly from the side, and quickly explained, "Queen Mother, Queen Mother is sleeping again!" ”
The queen found that she was out of shape, got up to cover up her gaffe, and said, go back to Fuyun Hall first.
I just returned to Fuyun Hall and walked through the pond where koi fish were raised, and found that all the koi fish raised in it were dead!
Mama Wang was also very surprised to see it.
What's going on?
Mama Wang asked the maid to serve the queen with red and jade, and she went to ask about the situation.
As a result, no one knew, it seemed that the koi fish, which were alive and well a moment ago, were all dead at the moment of the queen's arrival.
The queen lost what she liked again, and because she had taken care of the queen mother for a long time, her face was pale, and she was later helped back to the house.
Mama Wang is an old man, and she also knows that the queen puts all her sustenance on these koi.
The last time this happened, the queen was angry, and this time it was even more serious.
Liu Qiqi just woke up and heard that the prince did not come back last night, so she was worried about the prince.
What she didn't expect was that news came from the Jin Palace, Ming Sixuan and Dong Huaizhu had a conflict last night, Dong Huaizhu killed Ming Sixuan by mistake, Dong Huaizhu was scared, and he committed suicide by jumping into the well.
Hearing the news, Liu Qiqi asked Zhou Yan and Yu Dai to go back to the Jin Palace's mansion to see the situation.
Liu Qiqi's heart went up and down.
There were ten concubines who entered the Jin Palace, and now six have died.
In someone else's place, a dead concubine, nothing, Liu Qiqi was a little shocked when she heard it.
She doesn't have much contact with King Jin's concubines, and she has the mentality of competing for favor, thinking about how to live comfortably all day long, and now that she is dead, it is not good for the prince.
Liu Qiqi thought about it for a while and decided to go and see it for herself.
Leaving the palace, he went to the Jin Palace.
Walking halfway down, I saw many officers and soldiers surrounding the Hutongkou restaurant, and Liu Qiqi saw Ma Zhutou leading people in.
Through the discussion of the surrounding people, I learned about the corpse buried in the backyard of the restaurant.
Liu Qiqi heard the system say that the shopkeeper smashed their good deeds on the spot, on the surface, the shopkeeper felt ashamed, and didn't want to make a big deal about it, so he drugged Wang and the child that night, killed the cook, and Wang thought that the East Window incident happened, and he ran away by himself.
In fact, the chef was killed by the shopkeeper, and his body was buried in the backyard of the restaurant.
Who found out after all this time?
Back in the Jin Palace, in the face of the mess, Liu Qiqi didn't have the heart to pay attention to anything else.
Yu Dai saw the arrival of the crown princess and was about to explain the situation when a carriage came galloping.
It's too fast to see.
Before the carriage had stopped, a lady came out of the carriage crying.
Yu Dai said, "Crown Princess, she is Dong Huaizhu's biological mother, Mrs. Dong. ”
Liu Qiqi knew that Dong Huaizhu was the eldest daughter of Dong Imperial Doctor.
The white-haired man sent the black-haired man, and he felt sad.
Seeing Mrs. Dong, who was walking unsteadily, Liu Qiqi felt a little sad.
Mrs. Dong came to the door and looked at Liu Qiqi with resentment, "Crown Princess, are you satisfied this time?" ”
Full of hostility, even the blind can see it.
Chunbi saw that others were slandering the princess so much, and wanted to speak, but was stopped by Liu Qiqi.
Liu Qiqi didn't do anything, in the eyes of others, she was too jealous and didn't let these concubines follow her into the East Palace, which would cause the current tragedy.
Thinking of this, Liu Qiqi felt wronged, but also felt unjust.
She watched Mrs. Dong staggering towards her dead daughter, and she was also a little moved.
Steward Hu wanted to stop him, but when he got Liu Qiqi's signal, he quietly retreated.
Soon, Mrs. Dong knelt on the ground and wailed over her daughter's corpse.
Liu Qiqi's eyes were red, and she turned her head to look at Yu Dai, "What's going on with them?" ”
Yu Dai said, "The slave has already inquired about what happened, it was Ming Sixuan and Dong Huaizhu who had a dispute and died by mistake, Dong Huaizhu saw that he had killed someone, and he committed suicide in fear." ”
"You fart!" Mrs. Dong roared hysterically, you got up from the ground, rushed over to Yudai, and were stopped by Yang Biyun, who happened to arrive.
Liu Qiqi saw Yang Biyun, Yu Dai said that this person is very deep in the city, and the Gu Ling thing that happened is also related to Yang Biyun, what does it mean that she is here at this time?
Yang Biyun stopped Mrs. Dong and was slapped by the excited Mrs. Dong, Yang Biyun was not angry, and comforted Mrs. Dong, "Mrs. Dong, I know you are sad, but this matter has nothing to do with the crown princess, when the incident happened last night, the crown princess was not in the Jin Palace." ”
It's okay not to say this, but if you say it, it completely ignited Mrs. Dong's madness.
"Crown princess, you can't tolerate people like this, if you are really honored as a little girl, you can tell the courtier, the courtier will bring her daughter home, why lose your life here?"
"Mrs. Dong, don't be rude to the crown princess!" Steward Hu said.
"Am I wrong? If the crown princess is a generous person, let my daughter enter the palace, will she die? "Mrs. Dong is really crazy, whoever speaks, she scolds back at whom.
Steward Hu was also angry, "Mrs. Dong, this is the Jin Palace, the former residence of the prince, you are just a second-grade Dong imperial doctor's wife, yelling at the princess, what kind of system?" ”
When Mrs. Dong heard this, she immediately burst into tears.
"What happened last night, the crown princess was not present, even if she was present, Dong Xiaozhu killed Ming Xiaozhu, all the maids present saw this, Ming Xiaozhu is the second daughter of Lanzhou Zhizhou, this matter, Mrs. Dong should also give an explanation to Lord Lanzhou Zhizhou." When Steward Hu said this, he disconnected the Jin Mansion from the relationship, and also pushed the problem onto Mrs. Dong.
When Mrs. Dong heard this, she was dumbfounded.
She came to Xingshi to ask about the sin, why was she bitten back.
I couldn't accept it for a while, and I almost fainted.
When things got worse, Imperial Doctor Dong arrived.
Imperial Doctor Dong is much more sensible, showing the posture of a courtier to the crown princess, and politely explaining Mrs. Dong's faux pas, waiting for Mrs. Dong to be taken away.
Liu Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief.
If this matter happened in someone else's house, it could be handed over to the people of the Yamen to deal with, and the matter was related to the prince, the imperial doctor Dong and the governor of Lanzhou, and this matter must be handled carefully.
Just when Liu Qiqi wanted to involve which department, Sun Shuo waited for the arrival of people from Dali Temple.
