Noble First Daughter-in-law

"so……"

There was another voice in the hall that had been silent for a long time, and it was Tu Sheer's. But even she didn't dare to continue talking after saying these two words. Everyone's eyes were filled with panic and a look of disbelief.

Because none of them believe that anyone dares to kill people in Qianqiu Palace!
  Therefore, Jianchun could only have been killed near Chengqingmen, so he tore off a cluster of pine branches before his death.

But this way——

No one dared to say anything. Several pairs of eyes looked at Shang Ruyi, as if they were waiting for her to make a judgment. Although the result had already been settled in their hearts. On the contrary, Shang Ruyi kept frowning. After being silent for a long time, he looked up at Wuxue and said solemnly: "You have been there for so long, you should not only get this little bit of information."

Hearing this, Tu Sheer and Chang Wan looked at Wuxue again.

Sure enough, Wuxue's pretty little face showed a trace of tangled expression, but she did not remain silent for too long. She just bit her lower lip and said, "I just went to Chengqing Gate to find a few people." The patrolling guards asked. Because Chengqing Gate is under the jurisdiction of Chengqing Palace, the people patrolling and guarding there are the right palace gatekeepers. That is..."

"...!"

Shang Ruyi suddenly took a deep breath.

The gatekeeper of the right palace is the gatekeeper of the right palace of the prince.

This official position had been settled before Yu Wenwen won the victory in Taiyuan and returned to Chang'an to be canonized as the prince. It was obviously at that time that Yu Wenyuan had already decided on the candidate for the prince's position, and the gatekeeper of the right palace who guarded the east palace for the prince was none other than , but it is Shang Ruyi’s eldest brother, Shang Shoufei!
  That is to say-

This time Chang Wan couldn't help it, gritted her teeth and murmured: "Damn it."

Shang Ruyi glanced at her, then looked at Wuxue, who was frowning, and it was obvious that he returned to Qianqiu Palace after some inner struggle, and fell silent.

Although the matter is a bit complicated, it is not difficult to clarify - Jian Chun grabbed a cluster of pine branches before she died. In other words, she either died in Qianqiu Hall or at Chengqing Gate. If he died in Qianqiu Palace, then he would be blamed on himself, or even Yu Wenye; if he died in Chengqing Gate, which was under the control of the Guidong Palace Gate, no matter who did it, the responsibility would fall on Shang Shoufei.

As for Shang Shoufei, no matter how unwilling Shang Ruyi is to have anything to do with him, they are still brothers and sisters!

Besides, the dead palace maid Jianchun is also related to the fact that King Qin’s concubine in Jinyuyuan poisoned Princess Qin.

In other words, no matter how you calculate it, the source of the matter will fall on Princess Qin!

Chang Wan's "damn it" was an understatement.

Tusheer thought about it for a long time, but she really couldn't swallow this breath, and she really didn't want to watch them go to a dead end. She couldn't help but said softly: "Although the Chengqing Gate is managed by the right palace gate, over there, the Chengqing Gate is also in charge. The scope of Qiandian. That--"

Chang Wan frowned and said softly: "Then you can't touch it."

Chengqingmen is related to Shang Shoufei. If the matter gets serious and the emperor knows about it, Yu Wenyuan will refute Shang Ruyi's face and kill Shang Shoufei - even this may be the best solution at present. .

And the Chengqian Palace is related to the prince.

In other words, the prince was related to the palace maid named Jian Chun, and then Jian Chun participated in the poisoning of Princess Qin.

Regardless of the merits of this case, this matter is that the emperor will never allow it to happen, or even make it big, because this is not only jealousy and tactics between two women, but also related to the harmony between the princes. , the palace scandal of brothers' feud.

Therefore, whoever involves the prince will be punished with more sins!

At this time, Wuxue whispered again: "Besides those, I also asked one more thing."

Shang Ruyi raised his head to look at her and said as calmly as possible: "What else?"

Wuxue said: "The ones who discovered Jian Chun's body were the two palace maids who were working in Baifu Hall. They were responsible for cleaning up some unwanted fruits and vegetables after the banquet. I heard that they were lazy and secretly put those things into the mouth. Pour it into a dry well, once every two days."

"Pour it once every two days?"

Hearing this, Shang Ruyi frowned again.

However, it has been the fourth day since I discovered that there was something wrong with the hawthorn cake sent by Chu Ruoyan, and when I couldn't find Jianchun in Jinyuyuan. Today, it is already the fourth day. If Jianchun had been killed on the day of the incident, , the person who poured things into the dry well should have found her body the next day!
  Shang Ruyi said: "What do you mean-"

Wuxue said: "This slave can tell that Jianchun definitely didn't die just these two days. She should have been killed and her body hidden in some other inconspicuous place. She waited until yesterday or today before being thrown there." into a dry well, and was discovered immediately.”

Shang Ruyi pondered for a while and said: "In other words, the person who ordered her and killed her deliberately left two days blank to see my reaction?"

If Princess Qin was poisoned, or if she was not poisoned but found some clues and started fighting with Mrs. Chu, then it wouldn't matter where or how Jianchun's body was found.

However, after waiting for two days, there was no movement from Qianqiu Palace and Jinyuyuan. The other party was sure that their first step plan had failed, so they took out Jianchun's body again, and deliberately placed it seemingly hidden, but it was immediately revealed. A place where she can be discovered. In this way, the "clues" on her body will naturally be discovered.

And Aunt Hui just said deliberately in front of Wuxue that she would judge that Jianchun's death was just a mistake and fell into the well. She was deliberately provoking Wuxue so that she would do something, or make her come back anxiously to report to Shang Ruyi, which would make Shang Ruyi feel a little bit better. Action, in this way, the matter will become a big deal, and the final result will be brought back to Qianqiu Palace, which can really make Yu Wenye guilty of lax management of the family!

The man behind him has a meticulous mind and a sharp eye! Although Aunt Hui is also an extremely thoughtful person, judging from her previous methods, it is obvious that she has not been able to take such a sinister step.

At present, it seems that the person who can do all this——

Shang Ruyi's face suddenly darkened.

Tu Sheer asked worriedly: "Princess, what should we do next?"

"..."

Shang Ruyi was silent for a long time and said: "There are still some things that I have to think about carefully before talking about it. She'er, please keep your eyes outside. If there is any movement from Aunt Hui's side, come and report it to me immediately."

"Yes."

"Wuxue Changwan, you two go down first."

"Yes."

After sending the three of them away, Shang Ruyi didn't say anything anymore. He just sat quietly on the couch alone, listening to the wind outside blowing through the pine branches from time to time, making a rustling sound, and the waves of pine waves dragged it closer and closer. The longer it goes on, the longer it seems.

During such a long wait, she finally heard familiar footsteps.

Shang Ruyi raised his head and finally saw Yu Wenye. He came back from outside with a solemn expression. As soon as he entered the hall, he said in a deep voice: "I heard that Jian Chun's body was found in Baifu Hall?"

It seems that there are people on his side who can report the situation in the palace at any time.

Shang Ruyi nodded, held his hand and sat down, then told him everything that happened during the day.

Perhaps when he knew that Jian Chun's body had been found, Yu Wenye had already sketched out some possibilities in his mind, so his expression was not too shaken. But when he actually heard Shang Ruyi talk about the clues that Woxue had found, His eyebrows were still slightly frowned.

After listening, he said almost immediately: "It has nothing to do with the prince."

Shang Ruyi glanced at him.

His tone was the same as before when he was sure that the poisoning was not done by Chu Ruoyan, as if he could get the result directly without thinking or judging. However, Shang Ruyi also knew about Chu Ruoyan's incident, but the prince...

Shang Ruyi said: "Prince, he——"

Yu Wenye glanced at her with a complicated expression, wondering if it was Shang Ruyi's misunderstanding. Deep in his eyes, there seemed to be a hint of anger, but it also passed away in a flash: "He won't treat you - right We use this method."

"..."

Shang Ruyi was silent for a while and just nodded silently.

Although Yuwen Sui won a complete victory in the battle of Taiyuan this time, it also allowed people to see the decisive side of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who once "mistakenly wore a monk's robe as a war robe" on the battlefield. However, no matter how decisive the killing was, No matter what stage the overt and covert struggle between him and Yu Wenye reached, except for the underhanded methods used by Yu Mingyue, he seemed to have never used any unscrupulous tricks.

Even during the Battle of Fufeng, he not only gave them sachets to prevent the plague in advance, but also personally sent the special veil to Shang Ruyi.

Such a person is indeed unlikely to use that method to deal with a pregnant woman.

At this time, after Yu Wenye was silent for a long time, he murmured again: "The right palace gatekeeper..."

Shang Ruyi said: "You think Shang Shou is not him, so there is something wrong, right?"

In fact, while waiting for Yu Wenye to come back, she had been thinking about this matter in her heart. Before, it was because she couldn't care about it, but now that Jian Chun is very likely to die near Chengqing Gate, she has to think about it. Think of Shang Shoufei. You must know that the right palace gatekeeper is the prince's right prison gatekeeper, who lives in the east palace of the Weiwei. If he takes this official position, he will be placed on the side of the prince.

However, his surname is Shang, and he is the brother of Princess Shang Ruyi of Qin!
  Accepting this official position, to put it bluntly in military terms, means surrendering to the enemy!

Now, things involve him again——

I saw Yu Wenye pondering for a long time, and finally said: "Actually, I have been asking about one thing these days. I went to the Ministry of Civil Affairs today to find out."

Ministry of officials?

Shang Ruyi was a little surprised when he heard this and looked at him: "What did you go to the Ministry of Personnel to investigate?"

Yu Wenye took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Although Shang Shoufei met my father in the name of your brother, it was Duke Wushan who recommended him to be the gatekeeper of the right palace."
