"It's Yi Jieyu." Fang Zhu replied honestly.

Qin Huan unfolded the burnt clothes, no matter how luxurious the fabric was, it was only a black mess at the moment, and while the clothes were destroyed, they left behind a skeleton of silk thread knitting.

The woman's plain white fingertips twisted away the black on the silk thread, and she saw a clear wisp of gold.

"Golden silk phoenix dress?" Qin Huan said the name.

This dress was carefully sewn by the first embroidery girl in Jiangnan with the best gold thread for three years, and it should have belonged to the queen, but it was rewarded to Yi Jieyu by His Majesty.

Fang Zhu didn't expect this dress to be recognized, and his face turned pale with fright, "The county lord spares his life, this dress was not stolen by the slave maid, it was not stolen by Jieyu, the slave maid felt that it was a pity to throw it away, so she thought about staying and exchanging money, and the slave maid definitely did not steal anything from His Majesty's reward!" ”

Qin Huan looked at Fang Zhu's expression and didn't look like she was lying, "You said that Yi Jieyu didn't want it, but when the county lord heard that Yi Jieyu confronted the queen for this dress, how could she throw it away?" ”

Fang Zhu hurriedly explained, "What the slave said is true, a few days ago night, the slave and maid were in the abandoned west hall of the Jardine Palace, and saw Jieyu throw this dress into the brazier, and when the clothes were almost burned, Jieyu left." ”

She was afraid that Qin Huan would not believe it, so she explained the cause and effect in detail, "The county lord must believe in the slave maid, the slave maid likes cats, but the subordinates are not allowed to raise cats, the West Temple has been abandoned for a long time, there are a few wild cats in it, and the slave maid often goes to the West Hall at night to feed the cats, and the slave and maid just happened to meet Jieyu, and they will never dare to steal His Majesty's royal gifts!" ”

A flash of light flashed in Qin Huan's mind, "When did you see Yi Jieyu burn this dress?" ”

"Ten days ago, when Prime Minister He died in the palace, the slave and maid remember it very clearly."

"What was wrong with Yi Jieyu when she was in the West Hall?"

"It's nothing unusual, but Jieyu is lively and active on weekdays, and that night was very quiet, as if she had changed a person, and the golden silk phoenix dress was Jieyu's favorite clothes, and it was also burned for some reason."

Qin Huan put the ruined clothes on the stone table and looked at them carefully, the clothes were scorched, but the traces on the gold thread would not burn.

"Here's the blood." Shi Beiyan pointed to one of the small places, Qin Huan and Shi Yi cast their eyes one after another, only to see that the burned gold wire was stained with a deep dark red.

The brows of the three furrowed at the same time, and they all saw the same confusion in each other's eyes.

Qin Huan took a deep breath and looked back at Fang Zhu, "At the night banquet ten days ago, Yi Jieyu also went?" ”

"Jieyu, the queen and Concubine Hui are all gone." Fang Zhu was on an errand in Yihe Palace and knew more about it.

Qin Huan then asked, "Can you know about Jieyu's movements at the night banquet that night?" ”

Fang Zhu wondered how the county lord could ask about the night banquet, but Qin Huan's expression told her that this matter was not trivial, and Fang Zhu recalled it carefully.

The slave and maid served the master that night, and during the middle of the banquet, Jieyu drank a few glasses of dizziness and left the table early, but Jieyu wanted to go around alone and did not let the slaves and maids follow.

After the night banquet, the slaves and maids returned to the Yihe Palace, and saw that the lights were on in the mother's house, which should have come back early. ”

After Qin Huan listened, the bold idea in his mind formed, "The Internal Affairs Office only stared at the ministers and hundreds of officials, and actually ignored a few mothers. ”

Shi Beiyan understood what she meant, "Yi Jieyu has a special identity, she is not only the person sent into the palace by her uncle, but also the favorite concubine of His Majesty, and she can't act rashly without absolute certainty." ”

"Of course I do."

Qin Huan ordered Fang Zhu to be kept tightly imprisoned, and she entered the palace again.

It was inconvenient for the harem men to enter, Shi Beiyan and Shi Yi stayed outside the palace, and Qin Huan entered the palace alone and learned that Yi Jieyu was feeding the fish in front of the lotus pond in the back garden.

She thought about it, pretended to pass by accidentally, and "bumped into" Yi Jieyu next to the lotus pond.

Yi Jieyu is a very beautiful young woman, her hair is black and shiny, her skin is white and flawless, and her eyes are bright and moving, like stars shining in the night sky.

At this moment, she was half-leaning on the vermilion corridor chair, sprinkling fish food into the lotus pond at will.

Where the fish food fell, many koi fish grabbed it, her eyelashes curled slightly, her long hair draped behind her, looking at the goldfish competing for food, she didn't know what she was thinking.

"Meet Yi Jieyu." Even if she is about the same age, Yi Jieyu is the emperor's woman, and Qin Huan still wants to worship when she sees it.

Yi Jieyu turned her head when she heard the voice, "Are you?" ”

"The courtiers are Sikong Qin Huan, the daughter of King Ning."

"You're the legendary county lord!" Yi Jieyu heard about her deeds and stood up excitedly, "I heard Your Majesty say that you alone have eliminated the traitorous party!" ”

Qin Huan was a little surprised, and came back to his senses to correct, "Niangniang is overrated, this case is the credit of the officials and people of Yuzhou, and the courtiers are just helping one of the links." ”

"That's awesome enough!" Yi Jieyu was like a child listening to a story, her eyes were full of curiosity, "You and I don't seem to be much different in age, you might as well be called sisters, can you tell me about your affairs in Taoyuan Village?" ”

Yi Jieyu is the emperor's woman, and Qin Huan is the daughter of King Ning, the two are different generations, how can they be called sisters.

The palace maid behind Yi Jieyu was a little embarrassed, and wanted to remind Yi Jieyu but didn't dare.

Qin Huan wanted to refuse, but the other party's big shining eyes looked at her innocently, as if if she said something to refuse, it would be some heinous evil act.

As a last resort, Qin Huan let her be called whatever she wanted, but he still called her Jieyu according to the number of etiquette in the palace.

Qin Huan told her about her experience in Taoyuan Village, which hid information about the Rakshasa ghost organization, Yi Jieyu listened to it vividly, and when she learned that Pu Hai committed suicide by taking poison in order to let Song Ping survive, although she hated it, tears fell in her eyes.

"Pu Hai deserves it, Jieyu doesn't have to feel sorry for him."

"Park Hai is extremely evil, but he is worthy of Song Ping, he voluntarily went to his death, and he died without complaint, but unfortunately there is one less pair of lovers in the world."

Yi Jieyu wiped her tears and said with a smile, "Thank you for telling me the story, I haven't heard anything outside for a long time." ”

Crying and laughing in an instant, Qin Huan also saw such a strange person for the first time, "Jieyu wants to hear it, I will bring you the storyteller from the restaurant next time, so that you can listen to it enough." ”

"Then it's a deal." Yi Jieyu was very happy, "Your Majesty invited me to have dinner together, otherwise I really want to talk to you again." ”

Only then did Qin Huan realize that the sky had gradually darkened.

The palace maid handed over the hairpin, and Yi Jieyu pulled up her hair and combed a simple bun casually.

If other women in the harem look like this, they will definitely be punished, but Yi Jieyu is loved by His Majesty, then her preference is His Majesty's preference.

After Yi Jieyu said goodbye, Qin Huan was annoyed that she had entered the palace to inquire about the news, how could she finally tell a story to others, she sighed and turned around to go back.

Suddenly, the scent of hair in the air startled her.
