Pretending to be jealous in the arms of Dali Temple

Chapter 176 Suicide or Homicide
The door of Funing Hall was closed.

On the long and dark palace road, the faint yellow light of palace lanterns shone on the faces of the four people.

The two eunuchs carrying the violin went further and further away, Wan Yan looked away.

With a smile on his face, Eunuch Huang asked in a low voice, "Girl, what happened? Can you talk to the servant?"

Wan Yan looked at the two little maids who shrank behind Eunuch Huang.

"Who are you?"

The little maid did not dare to speak, Eunuch Huang sighed, "They have a good relationship with Siqin on weekdays, but for this last journey, the slave also allowed them to send Siqin to the palace gate."

Hearing this sentence, the two little maids raised their hands again to wipe away the tears welling up from the corners of their eyes.

Wan Yan nodded slightly. At this time, she needs a trustworthy helper.

Huang Yousheng is in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so he must know everything about the relationship in the palace. Although it was the first time they met, Wan Yan could feel that he was showing favor to her.

The two young maids are honest and honest, and they are good friends with Si Qin. As long as there is an investigation related to Si Qin, they should not lie.

And more importantly, Mr. Huang allowed the little maid to see Siqin off.

He is in charge, as Concubine Yi said, this is a cannibalistic harem, but what Eunuch Huang did made Wan Yan feel that he is very humane.

After thinking this way, Wan Yan said in a low voice, "Eunuch Huang, when the emperor handed over the jade pendant to me, he told me repeatedly that if the truth of the matter is found out, there will be a lot of rewards, so I think that when the case is solved, there will be Eunuch Huang." A credit."

"Ah, don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it." Huang Yousheng hurriedly waved his hand unexpectedly, "I didn't do anything, I dare not ask for credit."

Saying this, Huang Yousheng's face was full of anticipation and smiles.

"Eunuch Huang didn't hear the news?" Wan Yan lowered her voice and decided to tell the truth, "Today's autumn tea banquet, Qianqing Palace lost a painting, and now the emperor ordered me and Master Su of Dali Temple to retrieve this painting."

"Oh my God." Eunuch Huang showed an incredulous expression: "When did this happen? The slave is dealing with the autumn clothes at the Shangyi Bureau today, and he didn't hear any news?"

Wan Yan thinks about the incident, if Huang Yousheng didn't go to the autumn tea banquet, it's normal if he didn't hear the wind.

"Eunuch Huang, let's not talk about this for now. This painting in Qianqing Palace is worth tens of thousands of taels. Besides, it doesn't have to be as simple as stealing and selling paintings. Can Eunuch Huang understand?"

Huang Yousheng was speechless.

"Eunuch Huang, my name is Xue Wanyan."

Wan Yan's voice was soft and delicate, Huang Yousheng was so startled that he stood still and didn't react.

"You are Xue An's daughter? I only heard that the emperor gave Xue An the post of court painter. I didn't expect that I could meet the girl. I have had a relationship with Xue An."

Huang Yousheng looked at Wanyan again, with affection in his eyes.

Wan Yan suppressed her emotions, "When the case is over, Wan Yan will thank Eunuch Huang well."

"Tell me what's going on?" Huang Yousheng looked up at the dark night sky and murmured, "I found the painting at Maoshi, and now there are only four hours left."

Wan Yan looked at the two little maids, "I trust you too."

Eunuch Huang looked around vigilantly, made a gesture of silence, and waved at Wanyan, and the four of them left the gate of Funing Palace.

A group of people walked to the spacious and empty covered bridge, and Eunuch Huang stopped.

He said softly to the two young maids, "Miss Xue, you both understood what you said just now. You two are usually obedient and don't cause trouble, so I allowed you to send the violinist for a ride. What do you do now? Are you two clear?"

The two little maids nodded to Wan Yan.

"Okay, Miss Xue, don't worry now, tell the servant what to do?"

"How did Si Qin die?"

"The slave didn't lie just now."

"It's the same way to deal with dead people in the palace on weekdays."

Huang Yousheng nodded, "Masters have the final say, let's put it this way, someone will be transported out of the palace in eight days."

Sadness appeared on the faces of the two little maids at the same time.

Wan Yan turned to them and asked, "You two usually have the best relationship with Si Qin, how did she die?"

Two little maids, wearing the same palace attire, are about the same height, with a round face and a slender face.

Looking at her age with a round face, she replied, "I don't know, Siqin always feels weird today. She usually has a more flamboyant personality, but today is even more so. The servant thought it was because of the autumn tea banquet. Siqin likes it very much." These banquets are held at the Palace."

Before Wan Yan's eyes appeared in front of the little girl who was in the calligraphy and painting studio not long ago.

"Si Qin also went to the autumn tea banquet today?"

"Well, the three of us are in the palace department. We will be dispatched for banquets in the palace or when the palaces need manpower."

"Does Siqin go out of the palace often?"

Wan Yan thought of a possibility.

Will the painting be stolen by Si Qin, and she will find a chance to sell it outside the palace?

Otherwise, last time, why did she keep inquiring about the value of the "Purple Qi from the East" in the Painting and Calligraphy Studio?
So Si Qin colluded with outsiders?

The more Wan Yan thought about it, the greater the possibility, but it wasn't right, Si Qin died, why did she die?
Suicide or homicide?

Suicide is obviously impossible. If she stole the painting, it must be for money. Now that the painting is in hand, she ends her life, which is impossible.

That is murder?

Wan Yan's heart sank. Now it's not only who the murderer is, but also the painting. If Si Qin hides the painting, where can I find it?

"Si Qin didn't commit suicide, did he?" Wan Yan looked at the round-faced maid.

The maid glanced at Eunuch Huang and lowered her head.

"As I said just now, Ms. Xue is investigating the case. You should say what you know and never hide it."

The two court ladies nodded at the same time, and said at the same time, "Si Qin will not commit suicide."

Not far from the roof of the eaves, there were two calls of crows, their voices were hoarse and whining.

Flapping its wings, it flew into the dark night sky in a blink of an eye.

A gust of night wind blew, and the three girls shivered at the same time.

The round-faced palace maid rolled up her sleeves, "Miss Xue, Siqin is extroverted and has a good relationship with all the ladies in the palace. You will be rewarded for everything you eat and use. You will know when you see her. Siqin will never miss it."

"Where did she die?"

"The well behind the House of Internal Affairs."

"Who usually goes to that place?"

The two maids looked at each other and shook their heads, "Neither of us will go, there is an abandoned palace over there, full of weeds, no one will go."

In this way, the possibility of homicide is even greater.

"Has Siqin been to Qianqing Palace today?"

Wan Yan thinks about it and it is wrong. Aren't all the maids who shuttled between Qianqing Palace and Wenhe Palace today are outside the palace, being investigated by adults?

Wan Yan was surprised that the round-faced palace lady nodded, "We have been there, we are responsible for the sanitation of the palace, and we have gone to the autumn tea banquet several times today."

A gust of wind blew by, and Wan Yan felt a chill in her heart.

In other words, she and the lord just checked a loneliness, and the people who appeared at the autumn tea feast today are not only those who are now in front of the Qianqing palace.
