Chapter 240: Who Killed It
When the morning dawned, there were finally palace people in Linhua Palace who got up to move.
Everyone thought that last night was too strange, obviously sleeping very deeply, but they slept very tired, and woke up as if they hadn't slept.
Chuncao came in with a warm water handkerchief to serve Qingjiu and freshen up, and joked with a smile: "Niangniang, are you like us, you slept too tired last night, look at your black green now." β
Qingjiujiu looked at the bronze mirror, and the person in the bronze mirror was really the same as Chuncao said, with two huge black circles under his eyes.
She didn't sleep well, she didn't sleep all night.
When the banquet left in the Ming Season, it was still a long time before dawn, but she was lying on the bed tossing and turning, and she couldn't sleep at all.
For a while, there was a dead face of Ginkgo biloba, and a moment was what Ji Shiyan said to her before leaving.
He stood against the candle flame, unable to see the expression on his face, but his voice was very deep.
"I'm not leaving, and I'm not going to give up."
He didn't say that he wouldn't give up anything, and he didn't bother to think about it.
But he said earlier that because he said that he didn't need things that no one had used, he hadn't touched Qing Xiuxiu at all, which still made her feel mysterious.
Neurotic bar, this man.
Besides, whether he touched it or not, whether the child was his or not had nothing to do with her.
She doesn't have a virgin plot.
Even if there is, it is not the person who is feasting on the season.
Isn't it to spend a lifetime with Ji Shiyan, it's her business?
Thinking that he didn't even blink his eyes when he killed someone, Qing Jiujiu was even more responsive.
Lunatic.
Crazy batch.
"Niangniang wiped her hands, why are you in a daze?"
Chuncao is a well-spoken person, and she is not articulate, but likes to chirp and can't stop her mouth.
"I fell asleep at the latest, and I always felt that someone in the hall was talking, like a dream and like reality, and I heard a man's voice, I thought our Highness was back!"
Qingjiujiu tugged at the corners of his mouth, but he couldn't move: "And then?" β
"But when I got up in the morning, I didn't see it, and even Sister Ginkgo didn't know where to go, and I didn't see anyone early in the morning."
Ginkgo..... Qing Jiujiu didn't know where the season banquet would get him.
Although he is cruel, he has always been reliable in doing things.
Nothing that endangers himself will happen.
"Mother, do you want to comb your hair?"
Chuncao saw that Qingjiu ignored herself, and asked again.
Qingjiujiu's hair is well-grown, black hair like a waterfall, not pure black, sparkling chestnut in the sun.
She has been in Linhua Palace for so long, in fact, she has never deliberately dressed up, she just simply pulled a hairpin.
But today she has something.
If you say something you have an idea, you have to do it.
Otherwise, one day Meng Jiu'an really came back, and her hard life would come.
"Comb it, comb my hair that hasn't come out of the cabinet."
Chuncao was startled: "What? But, you-"
Qingjiujiu knew what she was going to say, and Meng Jiu'an put her in the identity of Linhua Palace Niangniang, which was making her bad.
Why did she come according to his arrangement?
But Chuncao definitely didn't understand the twists and turns here, so Qingjiujiu explained: "Because your Royal Highness hasn't given me a canonization gift, of course I can't comb the woman's head, right?" β
When Chuncao heard it, it seemed to.... There was nothing wrong with it.
"Comb it."
Chuncao worked neatly, and soon combed the Qingjiu wine.
She also pinned a pink velvet flower to her hairpin.
She is keen on pouring these, but in the past, there was no hostess in Linhua Palace, and the status of those concubines was not high, so they did not need to serve in person, so Chuncao did not play a role.
Today is rare, Qingjiu has to dress up, and she is still a big beauty.
So how could Chuncao let go of this opportunity to show?
She also quickly went to find a matching pink white house dress for Qingjiujiu.
After putting on the wine, she opened her mouth wide and exclaimed: "My God, it's so beautiful!" β
Qingjiujiu looks good, has a first-class figure, as long as he dresses up a little, he has an eye-catching capital.
It's no wonder that the Second Highness came over yesterday and was crazy about her.
"Mother, you're also... It's so pretty, isn't it?! β
Chuncao exclaimed, and then asked, "Where are you going?" β
Qingjiujiu took her out, there was no ginkgo biloba, Chuncao was obviously a fool: "Go and ask the queen mother to say goodbye, since Your Majesty allows me to walk in the palace, of course I must understand the rules of etiquette." β
They had just stepped out of the threshold, but they saw panic outside the door.
The guards of Linhua Palace hurriedly came in, followed by Wei Xingyun.
Wei Xingyun's face was condensed, not very good-looking, and when he saw Qingjiujiu, he looked at her several times.
Presumably the ginkgo affair was exposed.
Qingjiujiu stabilized her mind, glanced at Chuncao, and learned the ignorance in her eyes: "What's wrong?" β
Wei Xingyun came forward to salute: "Niangniang is early, the big palace maid Ginkgo biloba in Linhua Palace was twisted off her neck and thrown her body in the well. β
"W-What?!"
Chuncao exclaimed, and almost all the palace people around couldn't help but show shocked expressions after hearing Wei Xingyun's words.
Qingjiujiu naturally followed them.
Ji Shiyan, who suffered a thousand knives, killed someone and threw his body in the well??
He can't wait to be found, right?
Wei Xingyun looked at Qing Jiujiu's face intently, and found that she was just as shocked as the palace people, and her face was a little white with fright.
This reaction is normal.
Although Ginkgo biloba is the palace maid of Linhua Palace, it has nothing to do with Qingjiu.
If you really want to talk about it, the iron chains on Qingjiujiu's feet were tied by Ginkgo herself.
Therefore, if Qingjiujiu has a particularly strong reaction to Ginkgo's death, then it should not be.
But there was no reaction at all and should not be.
That's a human life, after all.
Wei Xingyun's first suspicion was of course Qingjiujiu, but Qingjiujiu had no reason to kill Ginkgo.
This made him hesitate again.
Over there, Haruka's tears had fallen: "How can this be? β
Ginkgo was unwell yesterday and took leave to rest, so she was let go to serve Qingjiu closely.
But why did the night pass, and Sister Ginkgo was gone?
It's horrible.
"Yun Guard, who wants to kill Sister Ginkgo? SheβShe didn't offend anyone at all! β
After Chuncao finished speaking, she couldn't help but think of yesterday's incident again: "No, it's not that I didn't offend people, Second Highness, is it Second Highness......"
Her face turned pale, and she said Meng Changan but covered her mouth tightly in fear.
Qingjiujiu secretly said that he would develop new ideas.
Yesterday, Meng Changan was about to break into Linhua Palace all the way, but Ginkgo stopped him three times and twice.
made Meng Changan displeased.
If you really count this matter on Meng Changan, you can't say that it can't be unreasonable.
Could it be that the season banquet is also the idea?
Chuncao thinks so, and presumably other people are also prone to such preconceived ideas.
Otherwise, who else would dare to be so bold as to kill someone without destroying the corpse, and throw the corpse into the well in the palace?
After Wei Xingyun listened, his expression on staring at Qingjiujiu also loosened for a moment.
It seems like it's possible.
However, he still asked: "Didn't Niangniang hear any noise last night, or left Linhua Palace?" β
Chuncao was heartbroken, but she didn't forget that she was the palace maid who kept vigil last night: "No, last night the mother slept before the slave maid, and the slave maid also got up first in the morning, and the maid was always in the palace." β
