Chapter 253: Suspicion 2

"It depends on what you know. Ice # Fire * Chinese."

"I'm going with you to see Uncle Qin, he believes in me and is willing to tell you everything. You didn't ask last time, I'll ask for you. ”

Luo Li looked at her in disbelief and said in surprise: "Do you know that there are people locked up in Concubine Yu's underground palace?!"

"It didn't take long for my mother to secretly build the underground palace, and I knew about it. At that time, I took medicine more often than now, and I often lived in the palace of the concubine, and even if the concubine was careful, it was difficult not to find out......"

"Then your mother built such a dungeon, and no one knows?"

"At that time, the person in charge of repairing Cuiwei Palace in the Engineering Institute was arranged by Xia Guifei, so naturally no one knew. ”

"Xia Guifei?"

"The mother of King Jing is the daughter of the Xia family, the daughter of the Yuzhou Jiangmen, the county lord, and the status is prominent, and she covered the sky in the palace in her early years, which is much more majestic than the queen mother......"

"Then your mother is from the Jingwang Party?"

"What kind of Jingwang Party? They just take what they need. In the harem, although the queen mother is the lord of the harem, it is actually Xia Guifei who is in power, my mother and Concubine Lan Hui are good friends, and Concubine Lan Hui and the queen mother are evil, after the death of Concubine Lan Hui, the mother concubine is attached to the power of Xia Guifei, and she secretly alchemy for her......"

"Then is there anyone in the harem who knows about Senior Qin?"

"A few close old women in Cuiwei Palace should know, and the rest should not know. ”

"What about the Xia clan?"

"I don't know, she disappeared when I was five or six years old, but my mother has been helping King Jing refine medicine since then, so our mother and daughter are quite stable in the palace. ”

"Then you are very familiar with Senior Qin?"

"Well, if I get the opportunity, I will secretly go to see Uncle Qin......" Qi Jinyi said, taking out a wooden box from the shelf next to him, and then took out a key.

"About Concubine Lan Hui...... What do you know?"

"When I was born, Concubine Lan Hui had passed away, but I occasionally heard the whispers of the mother concubine, and the rest were the same as others, only knowing that Concubine Lan Hui was not promoted to the throne after her death, but demoted ......"

"What do you mean?"

"Don't you know? Concubine Lan Hui was crowned as a noble concubine after giving birth to her sixth brother, and she was on an equal footing with the Xia family, but after her death, she was demoted to Concubine Hui. ”

A thought flashed through her mind.

Commit suicide.

Maybe true.

Only in this way can the demotion be explained.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Luo Li secretly accepted the formation, and looked back to see the palace maid Yuzhu coming in with four or five people with all kinds of snacks, among which the radish cake and red bean paste were still emitting white smoke, and they were greedy when they looked at it.

"Put it there, and go down. ”

"Yes. ”

Seeing them withdrawing, Luo Li walked to the other side, pinched a piece of radish cake, dipped it in honey sauce, and put it in his mouth, refreshing and sweet.

"Concubine Lan Hui's matter, let's talk about it when you and I meet Senior Qin. Now I have one more thing to ask. ”

At this time, Qi Jinyi has been forced to a dead end, and she has already known everything and said everything.

You ask. ”

"How did Your Majesty get sick?

Qi Jinyi shook her head, "About ten days after you left, my father became ill, and now he can't get out of bed." As for why he fell ill, no one in the palace dared to speak, and the few eunuchs who first passed the word were all killed by the staff of the inner palace. Now my father only let that Jiang Yue guard it, and no one else is allowed to get close to him......"

"What about Jiang Yuecheng, have you heard any news?"

"The noodle?"

“...... Well. ”

"He, these ladies in the harem, can't wait to pull his tendons and skin him, but there is really no news coming out, and the person is low-key on weekdays, and it is difficult to find a trace......

Qi Jinyi pinched up a piece of egg yolk crisp, ate Zhengxiang, put down a small half of the shortbread and said: "There is indeed a rumor, about a few days before my father fell ill, that Jiang Yuecheng made a mistake and made a big fuss in the health palace. ”

"Huh?

"Interestingly, I heard that it was a rat and it scared him. I heard that Jiang Yuecheng was like a woman that day, she was scared and cried, and she nested in her father's arms for a while, do you say that she can act better than the women of the harem? A man who can kill people by saying two words on weekdays would cry because of a mouse. ”

When Qi Jinyi said this, she felt funny, and couldn't help but say a few more words, wanting to hear what Luo Li thought, but the person opposite was silent. When she looked again, she saw Luo Li frozen there, her inky eyes dull.

Qi Jinyi snorted twice, and when she came, she knew that she must have something on her mind, but these nonsense words were all she wanted to hear, how could she finish speaking, she was distracted?

"Lord Luo?"

"Lord Luo. ”

"Luo Li!"

The person on the other side was startled and looked at her sideways, "What?"

"Where is your soul drifting again, you have to listen to me, but you are stunned. What's the matter, but you're angry with Sixth Brother?"

She watched Luo Li's dull and colorless eyes sink a little, and the meaning was clear.

"No wonder Father-in-law Zhang told me yesterday that when he was waiting for you at the east gate, he saw that the sixth brother also went, and he was afraid that he was waiting for you. ”

Luo Li didn't say anything, and said to himself: "Your Highness, if you can really help me know what happened to Concubine Lan Hui back then, as you said, I will send you out." ”

"Okay! That's what I'm waiting for. ”

"Horses are hard to chase. ”

As the saying goes, the right time and place are right.

Tonight is a good day to visit Cuiwei Palace again.

The daytime and New Year rituals have been held in the palace, and there is also a banquet in the evening, presided over by King Jing and the Empress.

Concubine Yu does not participate in such dinners on weekdays, but now that Emperor Qi is seriously ill, he also relies on some popular support, and at the suggestion of the queen, the masters above the concubine level went to participate.

Although Qi Jinyi knew that the main owner of Cuiwei Palace was not there at this time, she didn't dare to act rashly, after all, there were so many old grandmothers. If it is discovered, where will there be good fruit to eat?

But she underestimated Luo Li, not only her ability, but also her temper.

She only remembered that Luo Li took out a scarf to cover her eyes, told her not to take it off, and then led her out, but without taking a few steps, he asked her to sit down.

The air here is crisp, and it should still be in the house.

When I opened my eyes again, I had already arrived at the stone gate of the underground palace, and the place was filled with a strong medicinal fragrance.

"I-I didn't even walk! how did you get me here?"

"Come back, you open the door quickly. ”

"Hmm. ”

When the two of them saw Qin Yiling, they were shocked by the changes in this place.

There are five alchemy furnaces in the stone room, refining pills at the same time.

He saw that it was Qi Jinyi, and he had no time to take care of those stoves and let them be destroyed.

"Jinyi, why are you here? ”

"The younger generation sends some food to the seniors, today is the New Year, and it is customary to eat some sticky candy. ”

"It's you, why did you two come together?" Qin Yiling was a little surprised, he remembered this girl named Shen Cheng.

"Senior, how much fragrant cartilage powder do you want to practice?

"It's none of your business, let's go. ”

"Uncle Qin, we want to ask something......"

"There's nothing to say, Jinyi, you are too bold, you dare to come at this time, not afraid of being discovered by your mother?"

Luo Li took the lead, "Senior, you don't listen to Uncle Bai Wei's Lingyu anymore?"
