Noble First Daughter-in-law

In front of the Qianqiu Palace, Tusheer walked out and took a look. Seeing that Wuxue hadn't come back yet, he could only walk back to the palace worriedly. He looked at Shang Ruyi sitting on the couch, looking thoughtful, and then I couldn't help complaining: "Why did the princess only let Wuxue go alone? It's great now, she has been gone for a long time and hasn't come back yet."

Shang Ruyi raised his head and glanced at her, and smiled angrily: "If she is not allowed to go, how can I let you go? What can you do if you go?"

"Slave can-"

"With all your courage, what else can you do if you are frightened out of your wits?"

Tu Sheer pouted, and happened to see Chang Wan coming over to refill Shang Ruyi's tea cup, so he said, "Well, it's better to let Chang Wan follow."

Chang Wan raised his head and glanced at her, pursed his lips and smiled. Shang Ruyi said: "Chang Wan works in the inner courtyard. You two have nothing to do with matters outside, especially those involving dead people and corpses."

Chang Wan also said: "Don't worry, wait until Wuxue comes back."

Although she said this, Chang Wan couldn't help but look up - in order to protect Wuxue from being targeted, her true identity was rarely known, but everyone around Shang Ruyi knew that she He was the spy sent by His Majesty the Emperor to Shang Ruyi. Not only was he very skilled, but also because of his special experience, he was better at these things than the maids in the inner courtyard who did such trivial things as making tea and making beds. Quite a few.

However, she had not been away for too long.

Seeing that Wuxue had been out for almost an hour, Tusheer became more and more restless. When she was about to go out again to find out the news, she finally saw Wuxue's petite figure coming back in a hurry.

Tu Sheer said: "Auntie, you are finally back!"

When Wuxue raised his head and saw her, he didn't even bother to say hello. He just said, "I have something to report to the princess."

"Needless to say, I'm waiting for you."

With that said, the two of them walked into the hall together. As soon as they saw Shang Ruyi, Wuxue immediately came forward to salute. Shang Ruyi waved her off and asked, "How is the situation?"

Wuxue said: "Princess, it was Jin Yuyuan's Jian Chun who died. She was thrown into the dry well behind Baifu Hall."

Shang Ruyi asked: "Did he fall to death?"

Wuxue shook her head: "No, she died because her neck bones were broken!"

Upon hearing this, Tu Sheer and Chang Wan were both startled. They subconsciously stretched out their hands to protect their necks. Shang Ruyi also frowned, thought for a while and said, "It broke when they were thrown into a dry well." Neck?"

Wuxue shook her head again: "No. The slave saw some bruises on her neck. Although some of them had dissipated, she could still see clearly that she had broken her neck bones, that is, her neck had been twisted. Moreover, There are no other injuries on her body. If a living person was thrown into a dry well and fell to death, there should be more than one injury on her body."

Shang Ruyi said: "You mean, someone broke her neck somewhere else and then threw her body into a dry well?"

"Yes."

Shang Ruyi took a deep breath, thought for a while, and then asked, "Any other discoveries?"

Wuxue said: "As soon as I took a look at it, Aunt Hui arrived. She led people to carry the body away. She said she wanted to find out the cause of death and give an explanation to the princess. But from her tone, she probably wanted to conclude, To see spring is just to slip and fall into a dry well and die."

When Tusheer heard this, he immediately said: "She just wants to cover up the truth."

After saying that, she said to Wuxue: "You should have stopped her."

Chang Wan thought for a while and said: "Wuxue, as a palace maid of Qianqiu Palace, can't directly stop the palace maid in charge. However, if you move out the princess, you should still be able to suppress her, so as to avoid this matter. She covered it up." Wuxue looked at them and only pursed her lips.

Listening to their chatter, Shang Ruyi fell silent - it was one thing for Woxue to see the cause of Jianchun's death, but it was another matter how Aunt Hui judged and reported it. , after all, there are many people below, and she has too much room to operate.

But why did she tell Wuxue clearly how she would judge?

It was as if she deliberately let Wuxue know that she would turn a big deal into a trivial matter, and then provoked Wuxue to stop her. Or maybe Wuxue did not dare to confront the maid in charge, so she came back to report to herself, the Princess of Qin, and let herself do the same. It seems that you should take someone to investigate thoroughly.

If this happens, things will get really messy.

But what good does this do to Aunt Hui? If Jianchun was really hers and she sent someone to silence him, she would prefer to keep it quiet, especially if she could handle the matter without leaving any trace without alerting herself.

And looking at Wuxue's expression, it seems to be different.

Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi said: "Since Wuxue didn't move me out, there must be a reason."

After saying that, she looked at Wuxue with a solemn expression: "Did you discover anything else?"

Wuxue nodded gently, then took a step forward, stretched out his hand that had been clenched into a fist in front of Shang Ruyi, and slowly opened it: "This slave got this from Jian Chun's hand. It should be that she was there before The last thing I grabbed before I died.”

Shang Ruyi looked down and saw a cluster of dry pine branches in her palm.

"This is--"

Tu Sheer and Chang Wan also came over to take a look. Both of them felt a little surprised. They didn't know why Jian Chun would grab such a bunch of things before dying, and they didn't understand what this would mean for Wuxue not to stop Aunt Hui. Influence. Shang Ruyi thought about it carefully and suddenly took a deep breath.

She looked up at Wuxue and saw the same light shining in the other person's bright eyes.

Tusheer was still a little confused: "Princess, what's wrong with this pine branch?"

Shang Ruyi looked solemn and did not answer immediately. Wuxue turned to them and said, "After His Majesty ascended the throne, many places in the palace were replanted with flowers and trees. However, there are only two places where pine trees were planted."

Chang Wan immediately came back to his senses, subconsciously glanced outside the palace, and said: "Our Qianqiu Palace!"

Hearing this, several people also looked outside the hall in unison. Several tall and lush pine trees stood in the courtyard outside the hall. When he first entered the hall, Shang Ruyi loved those pine trees very much. It just feels vigorous and upright, and it also implies a kind of majesty, which is especially suitable for Yu Wenye's temper.

At this time, Tu Sheer murmured to himself: "Where else are there pine trees in the palace... eh?"

The hall suddenly fell silent.

And Shang Ruyi's eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light - it had only been a few days. In fact, no matter how long it passed, she would never forget that on the night of the celebration banquet of the Battle of Taiyuan, she walked out of Baifu Palace. , and found Yu Mingyue who was a little drunk after drinking some wine.

That night, Yu Mingyue walked out of a field of pines and cypresses.

That is - Chengqing Gate.

After passing the Chengqing Gate, you will find the Chengqian Hall where Prince Yu Wenzuo lives!
