When they arrived at the Imperial Garden, there was already a group of Imperial Forest Army surrounding the entire lake, and Wei Zhong's body was also salvaged, placed on the shore, and covered with a straw mat.

Yan Bei went to check on Wei Zhong's body, while Chang Yue walked to the lake.

In the dark night, the torches in the hands of the Imperial Forest Army were printed on the surface of the lake, shining with a slight phosphorescence.

The cold full moon was reflected in the middle of the lake, flickering in the tiny phosphorescence.

Chang Yue stared at the surface of the lake for a long time, but he didn't notice the slightest yin qi on the lake!

It's really strange, she thought that this lake would be the place of the most yin, but why didn't there be any yin and resentment?

Chang Yue probed around again, and no one around this lake had set up a magic circle to suppress the yin qi, so this lake was really not a place of the most yin.

It's weird.

Chang Yue couldn't see through the mystery of the lake for the time being, so he walked towards Yanbei.

Yan Bei had just finished examining Wei Zhong's body, there were no obvious external injuries on the corpse, and Wei Zhong's mouth and nose were full of water, and his body was slightly swollen, so he was indeed drowned.

As for why Wei Zhong drowned in this lake, it needs to be handed over to Dali Temple for thorough investigation.

Seeing Chang Yue coming, he covered the straw mat again and asked, "What did the princess find?" ”

Chang Yue shook her head, it stands to reason that Wei Zhong had just died, and his soul should be in this lake, but she saw it just now, there was nothing in the lake, and maybe even Ah Xue's ghost was no longer in this lake.

It was the first time she had encountered such a mysterious thing, and it seemed that when she had recovered her body, she would definitely have to study this lake well.

Yan Bei sent someone to Dali Temple to inform Pei Yuanshu, after all, there was a murder in the palace, and Pei Yuanshu, as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, needed to run this trip in person.

Chang Yue returned to the East Palace, the battle just now, and lost a lot of her energy, although the evil things were removed, but the evil spell in her body had the potential to go straight to the heart, Chang Yue ordered the end of winter to bring hot water, and only rested after purifying her body.

She occupied Yixuan's bed, and she was not worried that he would plot against her when he came back, although they had only known each other for a few days, Chang Yue still knew a little about him, and he was not really frivolous.

Xu was the reason for the depletion of essence, Chang Yue lay down for a while, and then fell asleep.

The end of winter stayed by her bedside until Yixuan returned.

It was early in the morning, and Yixuan looked a little tired, because when she went to Zhaohua Palace, Queen Zhou's situation was not very good.

The evil thing that was connected with her was removed, and she was counterattacked, spitting out a mouthful of black blood, not to mention, the whole person's face was bloodless, and she was extremely haggard.

Queen Zhou knew that her matter of raising evil things had been revealed, and when she saw Yixuan going to her palace late at night, she broke the jar and broke it, and told all the things about how she raised weasel skin essence, which was consistent with Chang Yue's guess.

At the end, Queen Zhou also cried bitterly and said that Concubine Rong should die, after she was a country, she was slapped by the emperor in public at the palace banquet, and she lost face, and then she wanted to kill Concubine Rong to vent her hatred.

Over the years, she has been scheming, and even kept feeding evil things with her essence, originally wanting to eradicate Rong Guifei through evil things, but who expected that Rong Guifei had raised a civet cat by mistake, resulting in evil things not being able to get close to Rong Guifei's body at all.

Queen Zhou wanted to plan for some more time, but she didn't want to cause all this to fall short because of Chang Yue's arrival.

Queen Zhou cried and made trouble in front of Yixuan, like a crazy demon.

In the past, Yixuan only said that Queen Zhou helped the Zhou family expand her power, so she separated from Queen Zhou's mother and son, and was no longer close, but now it seems that Queen Zhou is actually just a poor person.

As the mother of a country, she does not have the dignity and decency that a queen should have.

That's why she planned for herself, raised evil things, and cultivated the power of her mother's family, just to fight for breath.

As the so-called people do not do anything, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed, and Yixuan was suddenly relieved at that moment.

He no longer has any grudge against Queen Zhou, but now that the Zhou family is strong, it is an unchangeable fact, and he can't get too close to Queen Zhou, otherwise he will become a pawn of the Zhou family at any time.

The next day, when Chang Yue woke up, it was already dark.

Yixuan went to the Chengqian Palace early in the morning, and when he left, he ordered someone to prepare breakfast for her and medicine to nourish qi and blood.

Chang Yue finished breakfast, drank medicine, and cleaned his body before going to visit Qiaosi.

At this time, Qiaosi was lying on the bed, served by two other palace maids, one of whom was changing her dressing, and the other was feeding her, and the two of them were chatting with her about the gossip they had just heard this morning.

"Sister Qiaosi, do you know, I heard that Lord Wei, the head of the Internal Affairs Office, stumbled into the lake in the Imperial Garden last night and drowned." Xia Lian, the palace maid who fed Qiaosi, said.

Qiu Shuang, the palace maid who changed the dressing, immediately asked curiously: "How do you know that Lord Wei lost his foot and drowned?" ”

Xia Lian said: "Last night, Master Pei, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, came to see it in person, and it was his case. ”

"Wei Zhong offended the concubine yesterday, why did he lose his footing and drown at night, it's a bit strange."

"Master Pei is a detective of Dali Temple, and his case must not be false."

Skillfully listened to what the two said, and said angrily: "He deserves to die, if he hadn't fanned the flames in the ears of the concubine that day, I wouldn't have been beaten like this." ”

Qiu Shuang said: "In the past, Lord Wei bullied us subordinates a lot, but now that he is dead, it is indeed a beautiful thing." ”

Chang Yue, who came to visit Qiaosi, naturally heard their conversation outside the door, and it stands to reason that Shaoqing of Dali Temple personally decided the case, so there would be no fake, but Chang Yue didn't believe that Wei Zhong would drown himself.

She grew up in the deep palace since she was a child, although the palace in the south does not have so many intrigues, how can she not know how deep the water in the palace is.

The reason why Pei Yuanshu decided the case like this must have been because he listened to someone's order.

As for this person, Chang Yue didn't have to guess to know that it was Yixuan, after all, it was Pei Yuanshu sent by Yanbei to invite last night.

And the reason why Yixuan asked him to do this is just to avoid being involved.

Today's weather is very good, and after Chang Yue saw the ingenuity, she asked the end of winter to accompany her to the Imperial Garden.

On the surface, she was going to relax, but in fact, she wanted to explore the lake in the Imperial Garden again during the day to see if there was a hidden mystery.

It was the height of summer, the lotus leaves in the lake were green, and many pink and white lotus flowers were blooming, and from time to time there were a few dragonflies accompanying the lotus leaves to stand on the lotus leaves, attracting the concubines who came to the imperial garden to hang out and watch.

When Chang Yue came, she didn't expect that there would be so many concubines here to enjoy the lake, and when she was in the Southern Palace before, she never liked to deal with the concubines in the harem.

However, the concubines in the southern harem are very friendly to her, and they like to come to her for guidance when they have nothing to do on weekdays, plus her father loves her very much, and she gets along well with those concubines.

Fortunately, at this time, these concubines were watching the lotus flowers in the lake, and they didn't notice her, so Chang Yue picked an inconspicuous corner and took out a small compass from her arms.
