Noble First Daughter-in-law

Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi immediately sat up from the couch, but because he got up so violently, he was dizzy and almost fell back.

Tu Sheer rushed up and helped her: "Princess, be careful!"

Shang Ruyi also held her arm, took a deep breath to calm down, then nodded, sat up straight, and asked, "Where is the person? Where did you find him?"

A look of regret and anger appeared on Tu Sheer's face, and he whispered into her ear: "I found it in an abandoned dry well behind Baifu Hall."

"Dry well?"

As soon as she heard these two words, Shang Ruyi's face darkened again. The ominous premonition that had been lingering in her heart for the past few days finally turned into reality at this moment. She said in a deep voice: "The person has -"

Tusheer said: "Dead."

"How did you die?"

"I don't know yet. The little eunuch at Baifu Hall heard about it and secretly ran over to tell the slave."

"Help me up, I'll go take a look."

When Tu Sheer heard this, she was so frightened that she quickly held down Shang Ruyi: "Princess, you can't go. That thing is unlucky. What if it points towards you?"

Shang Ruyi was angry and funny: "What's so unlucky?"

Seeing that she was about to get up again, Tusheer was unwilling to let go. He pushed her back hard and said in a deep voice: "Princess, you are pregnant now, which is different from usual. You can't go see those."

"..."

After hearing this, Shang Ruyi came back to his senses.

In fact, she doesn't pay much attention to this. Besides, back in Fufeng, she burned tens of thousands of Longxi Army troops to death with a single prairie fire arrow. According to the words of the army, she herself was so evil that she would not be afraid of a single person. The body of the little palace maid rushed at her? But Tusheer was still clinging to life and death, and since she was still in the early stages of pregnancy, I was afraid something was really wrong.

After thinking about it, he called Wuxue: "Follow me and have a look. If there's anything wrong, call me right away."

Wuxue took the order and turned around and went out.

Although she was petite, she walked very fast. In a short while, she reached the back of Baifu Palace. The place was already crowded with people. Several young eunuchs were pointing around the mouth of the well. The other two young palace maids stood aside with pale faces. Apparently they were too frightened to speak. There were several other palace maids accompanying them, saying comforting words.

There was a body lying on the ground at the mouth of the well.

Wuxue recognized that it was Jianchun who was served by Jin Yuyuan. Although she had not met him a few times, her memory was much better than ordinary people, even though she had a stiff and frighteningly pale face, and her eyes were wide open. , with bulging eyes. Although he should have been dead for several days, he still maintained the frightened expression before his death. It looked very scary, but she could still easily identify it.

At a glance, Na Jianchun was lying on the ground with his neck twisted at a strange angle.

Wuxue knelt down and was about to reach out to touch it when the little eunuch next to him immediately said, "What are you doing? This is dirty."

Wuxue said nothing, pinched his neck with two fingers, and immediately felt something. She looked back at the people next to her and asked, "Which of you discovered this?"

One of the little palace ladies said with a pale face: "I, we..."

"How did you find out?"

"Yes, I saw it accidentally."

"Accidentally?" Wuxue raised an eyebrow and glanced at a basket placed next to the palace maid, which contained some broken vegetable leaves, and seemed to understand something. Turning around to look at Jian Chun's body, he found that one of her hands was tightly clenched into a fist, as if she was holding something.

Wuxue was about to reach out for it, when there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and a familiar voice said: "Get out of the way, everyone!"

Looking back, it was Aunt Hui walking over with a few young eunuchs.

As soon as she saw her, Aunt Hui showed a look of hesitation on her face, but she immediately said: "Don't yell around here, get out of the way." After saying that, she directed the few eunuchs behind her: "Hurry over. , carry the person to the back."

Several young eunuchs rushed over immediately and pushed Wuxue aside.

Wuxue reluctantly stood up, but Aunt Hui had already walked in front of her. Wuxue didn't have time to dodge, so she leaned towards her and saluted: "Master Hui-Han."

Aunt Hui smiled and said: "Miss Wuxue, why did you come to Baifu Hall?"

Wuxue said: "I heard something happened here, come and take a look."

Aunt Hui said: "What happens here has nothing to do with you, not to mention this kind of thing, it's best not to blindly look at it."

Wuxue smiled and said: "The matter in Baifu Palace has nothing to do with the slaves. However, this place is not far from Qianqiu Palace. The noise here makes the princess uncomfortable, so I specially asked the slaves to come over and take a look, in case it really happens. If something happens and it hits the princess's pregnant body, the emperor will blame the slaves."

Mentioning the princess's pregnancy, Aunt Hui's eyes flashed with a hint of gloom.

She said coldly: "Then, you should go back and serve the princess. Don't talk nonsense. Don't spread rumors and disturb the princess."

While they were talking, several young eunuchs had already lifted the body onto a wooden board and covered it with a piece of white cloth to hide the horrific face of the deceased. Then they lifted it up to leave. Wuxue thought for a while, turned around deliberately, turned her back to the young eunuchs and blocked their way. She smiled at Aunt Hui and said, "I just don't know how Aunt Hui plans to deal with this matter. This is what the princess asked me to do." The slave came to ask."

Aunt Hui frowned: "Does the princess know that someone died here?"

Lying Xue said: "Yes."

Aunt Hui thought for a while and said calmly: "When I find out the identity of the deceased and the cause of death, I will naturally report it to the princess. But it seems," she said, then turned to look at the dry well and said, "I'm afraid It was these little palace maids who sneaked here to play and accidentally fell down. When you go back, tell her calmly, if the princess is really frightened, it is because you did not serve her well."

Wuxue smiled and said, "Yes."

Aunt Hui said: "Don't get out of the way yet."

Wuxue said again: "Yes."

After saying that, she turned sideways and let several young eunuchs pass by her. However, when the wooden board holding the body passed by her, a gust of wind suddenly blew, and a stiff hand came from the wooden board. Slide down and hang in mid-air.

Aunt Hui frowned: "Hurry up and cover it up so no one can see it."

One of the little eunuchs took the order and hurriedly came forward and stuffed the hand back under the white cloth.

Aunt Hui looked back at Wuxue, then looked at the frightened little palace maids and little eunuchs around her, and asked: "Who discovered the body in the well just now."

The two little palace maids were so frightened that they could only step forward tremblingly to answer. Aunt Hui said coldly: "Come with me, I have something to ask you."

The two of them had no choice but to lower their heads and follow.

But Wuxue didn't say a word, just stared at their leaving figures, but a sharp cold light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
