Phoenix Nine Heavens

Chapter 104 The truth gradually surfaced

"How long have Eunuch Guo and Aunt Chunmei known each other?" Su Xuan asked from shallow to deep. This level asks the corresponding questions and finds the corresponding answers.

"Aunt Chunmei has been working in the Palace of Mercy Ning since she entered the palace. At that time, she has known this old slave for about twenty years. This old slave is also the person she has known the longest in the palace!" Guo Zi said. Shi said to Su Xuan.

"If that's the case, Eunuch Guo should know Aunt Chunmei better. May I ask Eunuch Guo, what happened to Aunt Chunmei before the accident?" Su Xuan continued to ask.

"The last time I saw Aunt Chunmei was last night, when I was on duty in the Empress Dowager's house, I saw that Aunt Chunmei, who always arrived before the old slave, arrived later.

Moreover, her complexion was not good, and she had a slight cough. Out of concern, the old slave asked her if she fell ill, and if she had gone to the young medical officer to see.

But Aunt Chunmei only said that it was an old disease, and it would pass after listening to it. Besides, she still had medicine to treat this disease in her room, and she was brewing that medicine just now, so it was too late.

In order not to delay her errands, she hurried to the empress dowager's bedroom to do her own work well.

After being on duty, Aunt Chunmei left the bedroom in a hurry and headed outside. At that time, the old slave felt that someone had invited Aunt Chunmei, otherwise Aunt Chunmei would not be so uncharacteristic, and when she left, she would carry the The most cherished handkerchief was forgotten.

The old slave picked up the handkerchief and was about to call her, but she was nowhere to be seen, so the old slave wanted to give it to her when she came back, but what he didn't want to wait for was the news that she had drowned and died. There is no way to return the handkerchief to her forever! The old eunuch took out the handkerchief from his pocket while talking.

If it weren't for the fact that Su Xuan's question was so unusual, he probably wouldn't have thought of this handkerchief, let alone remembered that Chunmei was in a hurry when she left here yesterday.

The little mirror took the handkerchief and presented it to Su Xuan immediately.

Su Xuan opened the handkerchief, and found that there was a woman embroidered on it, and a bowl of rice in a bowl. It looked like a realistic pattern, but there was no word on it, and she didn't know what the picture was. mean.

"Master, isn't that the clothes you wore 20 years ago?" Chrysanthemum next to Concubine Jin said in surprise when she saw the woman's clothes and appearance in the handkerchief.

20 years ago, Concubine Jin was still a young picker girl. Not long after entering the palace, Chrysanthemum was serving in front of Concubine Jin at that time. I still have a certain impression of Concubine Jin’s dress, after all, she was the one who took care of her at that time Concubine Jin.

Although 20 years have passed, when she saw the well-dressed portrait, she immediately remembered some past events when Concubine Jin was still a maiden, so she said to Concubine Jin in surprise.

Chrysanthemum's astonishment successfully attracted everyone's attention, and they all looked at Concubine Jin at once, expecting Concubine Jin to give a reasonable explanation for this matter.

"It seems that Concubine Jin didn't tell the truth just now. The friendship between Concubine Jin and Aunt Chunmei is far more than just getting acquainted in the Palace of Compassion!" Su Xuan said to Concubine Jin at this time, "Concubine Jin, you are Is there anything to add?"

Su Xuan is very clear that what Chrysanthemum said has already explained the situation. If Concubine Jin doesn't say anything, it seems that there is no way to get rid of everyone's suspicion. It is inevitable that people will think of something in the past, which is extremely unfavorable to Concubine Jin, so Su Xuan feels that it is still necessary for Concubine Jin to explain everything with Chunmei clearly.

"It was the spring of 20 years ago. I was still a first-time draft picker at the palace, and I was enjoying the shade with chrysanthemums under a big tree that day.

At that time, I saw a little palace lady being bullied by the eunuch in charge, not only fined her not to eat for three days, but also beat her.Ben Gong couldn't bear it, so he pleaded with the father-in-law in charge, and asked Chrysanthemum to reward her with Ben Gong's meals.

At that time, she had been hungry for two or three days, and she hadn't had any water or rice. When she saw the food that Ben Gong offered, she started to gobble it up.

Ben Gong felt sorry for her and wanted to keep her by his side, but at that time Ben Gong was only a picker, and according to the system, only one court lady could serve her, and with Chrysanthemum by his side, naturally she couldn't keep her.

At this time of helplessness, it happened that the Guogong road passed by near Bengong's residence, so Bengong went to beg Guo Gonggong with the audacity of his face.

At that time, Eunuch Guo was the father-in-law who served beside the empress dowager at that time, and when he saw that the palace was sincerely begging for help, he agreed to arrange an errand for the poor maid by the empress's side.

In this way, Aunt Chunmei went to work in the Empress Dowager's palace, and gradually gained the affirmation of the Empress Dowager, and became the maid in charge of the Empress Dowager.

Nearly 20 years have passed since this incident, and I don't even remember it, but I don't want this girl to leave such a painting, which is always hidden in my heart! "Speaking of these, Concubine Jin felt a special discomfort in her heart.

Although this incident happened 20 years ago, it felt like yesterday at this moment. The situation was so clear and vivid, which made her unable to calm down for a long time.

"No wonder the Ai family can hear good things about Concubine Jin from this girl from time to time, she is really a good girl who knows how to be grateful!" Hearing this, the Empress Dowager felt mixed emotions in her heart, feeling inexplicably heartbroken.

"It's just that she is a person who has nothing to do with the world, why was she murdered?" Eunuch Guo couldn't figure it out. During the time he worked with Chunmei, Chunmei never fought or snatched it, and always put things first. It is precisely because of this characteristic that the empress dowager treats her so specially and promotes her, which makes her the aunt in charge of the Compassionate Ning Palace.

However, it was such a person who knew how to be grateful and didn't fight or grab, but died unexpectedly. Guo Zi really couldn't figure it out, so he couldn't help asking Su Xuandao with a puzzled face.

"I'm afraid that her death is not as simple as it seems on the surface!" Su Xuan said to everyone at this time. For the benefit of others, the cause of her death is worth investigating.

This person can record the kindness of a meal on a handkerchief and never forget it for more than [-] years, which shows that this person is very persistent in being grateful. She really can't imagine how stubborn such a person can be.

"How do you say this?" The queen mother looked at Su Xuan suspiciously when she heard this, as if she was questioning Su Xuan's conjecture on behalf of everyone, as if she had to let Su Xuan clarify these things.
