The snow fell all night.

The next morning, before dawn, the capital was white, there were few pedestrians on the road, and most of the ministers who were in a hurry were the ministers who entered the palace. The carriage creaked against the snow, adding to the bustle of the silent streets.

There was a rush of horses' hooves, and a carriage was running down the street, the lantern hanging in front of it shaking violently.

Someone lifted the curtain and saw the big word "Su" on the lantern, and wondered, "Su Bofu? What's going on in their house? ”

The carriage galloped all the way to the gate of the palace, and Mrs. Wang stumbled off the carriage, and a guard blocked her way, "What person!" ”

Mrs. Wang used to be the Duchess of Zhenguo, and she often entered the palace, where did the guards not recognize her? Now it's just that the wall is falling down and everyone is pushing it, and everyone wants to step on them.

She begged with tears streaming down her face, "I am the Liu family of Subo Mansion, I beg the lord to pass it on, I want to see the Queen Mother." ”

The guard had a cold face, "The Queen Mother is not safe, I don't see anyone, you can go!" ”

Mrs. Wang knelt in the snow, "My lord, Cai Dan committed suicide last night, the Queen Mother has always felt sorry for her, and begged the Lord to send a message to the Queen Mother!" ”

The guards remained unmoved.

King Chengjun walked over, glanced at Mrs. Wang coldly, and asked the guard, "What's the matter?" ”

The guard bowed his hand and said, "Back to the Great Commander, the eldest lady of Subo Mansion committed suicide last night. ”

King Chengjun's eyebrows moved slightly, "Committed suicide?"

That Wang Caidan is scheming, and his mind is quite calm, but he doesn't look like a person who will commit suicide.

He thought of King Jin.

If it is the king of Jin, this is really not a wise move, and the emperor can easily suspect him.

He shook his head, no way.

With the thoughtfulness of King Jin, he will not act so recklessly. He really wants Wang Caidan's life, there are many ways, how can he solve her so simply and rudely.

When Mrs. Wang saw King Chengjun coming, she was busy kowtowing to him, "King Chengjun, Cai Dan committed suicide, I want to see the Queen Mother!" ”

King Chengjun sneered, "You asked for the wrong person." ”

With that, turn and leave.

Mrs. Wang knelt at the gate of the palace for nearly two hours, when people were about to be unable to hold on, and finally Emperor Qingming got the news after the next dynasty.

Emperor Qingming asked her to take her to the Empress Dowager's Palace, and he drove Cining Palace.

When the Queen Mother saw Mrs. Wang's appearance, her heart sank.

Mrs. Wang fell to her knees, "Queen Mother, Cai Dan, she committed suicide last night!" ”

There was a crunch click.

The jade Ruyi in the queen mother's hand fell to the ground and fell into two pieces.

She trembled, "What did you say?"

"Caidan, it's gone!"

The Queen Mother said sharply, "It's good, why is it gone?" ”

Mrs. Wang's eyes were full of resentment, "Yesterday, when Lin'an Liao Mansion gave a dowry, only twenty dowries and one hundred taels of dowry were given, and the total added up was only one hundred and fifty taels of silver. There was only one steward who gave the dowry gift, and his words and deeds were invisible, and the concubine was stunned. Cai Dan was humiliated, he didn't eat dinner, and he took all his subordinates out, so he stabbed himself with scissors! ”

She kowtowed three times in a row, "I beg the queen mother and the emperor to uphold justice for Danyang!" ”

The Queen Mother's face was gloomy, "Liao, they are so bold!" Even if Caidan is no longer the county lord, it is not something they can humiliate! ”

She looked at Emperor Qingming, "Your Majesty, his Liao clan is not only the face of Su Bofu, but also your face!" You gave you this marriage! ”

Emperor Qingming rubbed his jade wrench, he roughly knew some of Wang Caidan's temperament, that person was like a weed on a hill, no matter what situation he was in, he would try to keep himself alive. She committed suicide, and something doesn't make sense.

He asked, "Are you sure she killed herself?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the concubines are confirmed. When the next person found out, Cai Dan held the scissors tightly in both hands, and he couldn't break them......"

Mrs. Wang thought of her daughter's determination, and she clutched her chest in pain and couldn't go on.

Emperor Qingming knew a little about the methods of pretending to be an autopsy, and if the murderer wanted to make some illusions after death, it was difficult not to leave flaws. It's like holding scissors, if someone stuffs it into her after death, the fingers can bend but they are weak.

After Wang Caidan died, the scissors in his hand couldn't be broken, and it seemed that he really committed suicide.

He said, "Someone." ”

A guard came in, and Emperor Qingming ordered, "Go find a job and go to Subo Mansion for an autopsy." ”

As soon as Mrs. Wang heard that an autopsy was to be performed, she was anxious. The Caidan people are gone, is it possible that those lowly servants still need to feel around her to check?

She had heard that the autopsy was to remove all the clothes!

She shook her head, "Your Majesty, there is no need for an autopsy, Cai Dan really committed suicide!" ”

Emperor Qingming said lightly, "If you want me to uphold justice, then you have to conduct an autopsy, so that the Liao family can be convinced." ”

Mrs. Wang weighed and finally agreed.

The action was swift, and the autopsy ended at noon, and he entered the palace to reply.

"Back to the emperor, there are no traces of fighting and struggle in the room, and there are no other injuries on the body of the eldest lady of Subofu, only a pair of scissors at the throat, and the scissors are inserted obliquely from top to bottom, which is in line with the form of suicide. The guards and family members in the house also said that they did not see anyone entering or leaving. ”

Emperor Qingming pondered.

It was just a helpless move to promote the Liao family at the beginning, but now no matter what the truth is, let's dispose of the Liao family first.

Liao Yuansi's father was the left waiter of the military department, and Luo Cunrui was the one who pulled him up, and he was really a little worried.

Emperor Qingming wrote a holy decree on the spot and handed it to Wu Jian, "The Liao family cares about the emperor's grace in vain, despises the emperor, disrespects the queen mother, and has an improper family style. ”

Wu Jian took the holy decree and left the palace.

And just one day, Wang Caidan didn't look at the humiliation and committed suicide, and drifted to the corners and corners with the cold wind.

When Ling'er went out of the house, she rushed back with this "great news".

Han Youning was stunned, Wang Caidan died?

How could she kill herself?

She sat by the window, looking at the snow falling outside the window, and she didn't know what it was like. The girl who used to be as bright as the sun ended up like this in this life.

Ling'er's joy was not yet released, and she shouted to the working servants in the courtyard, "It's snowing heavily today, you have to drink some wine to warm up your body, I will give you money, and ask Aunt Sun to buy us a table, and everyone will drink together!" ”

The servants cheered quietly.

Autumn leaves stepped forward and whispered, "Go to work, don't disturb the princess's purity." ”

The servants hurriedly collected their expressions and continued to be busy with their work.

Han Youning remembered that she and Wang Caidan had drunk together in the snow around the fireplace in their previous lives, and they were happy and wanton.

Wang Caidan said solemnly, "If you have any difficulties, just tell me." ”

Later, she was trapped in the small courtyard of the Prince's Mansion, and Wang Caidan went to see her, gave her pills, and pulled her back from the ghost gate.

Wang Caidan's eyes were full of pity, "If you have any difficulties, just tell me." ”

This sentence, and that bright smiling face, once gave her great warmth.

Han Youning sighed softly, the biggest regret in this life is Wang Caidan.
