Chapter 717 Princess Qi’s Regulations

In fact, what should be asked has already been asked in the first place.

Now it's just a matter of asking again and again. Firstly, I can recall the events of that day more clearly, and secondly, I can also recall the things I missed at that time.

"Princess Qi won't let me go to her to pay her respects, so except for necessary occasions, I basically can't see Princess Qi. Naturally, the servants around me have never been to Princess Qi's yard."

On the way to Zongzheng Temple, Gu Qingjue had already read through the files on the interrogation of Concubine Gao.

Immediately said: "According to a servant named Ding Chang in the mansion, after returning from the palace banquet, you and Princess Qi entered the mansion together. At that time, you were very close and seemed to be talking. After that, Princess Qi hit you. Slap, I wonder what you talked about that day to make Princess Qi angry?"

Gao Taotao's face looked ugly.

But he could still calmly talk about what happened on the night of Yuan Day.

"When he came back from the palace that day, King Qi was supposed to take a carriage back to the palace with Princess Qi, but King Qi came back with me. After getting off the carriage, the mother who was waiting in front of the old princess told King Qi that she was not well. King Qi Then I went to the backyard to see the old princess first."

King Qi had time to stay with him, and he was worried about his mother, so he walked quickly.

The two were left behind.

Concubine Gao was originally one step behind Princess Qi, but Princess Qi obviously had something to say to her, so she stopped and waited for Gao Taotao.

As you can imagine, King Qi did not save any face for Princess Qi when he was outside. He basically did not take Princess Qi with him to banquets. It was only during this palace banquet that Dali officials took Princess Qi with him.

Princess Qi doesn’t want to lose face?

Princess Qi could not find King Qi, so she could only seize the opportunity to cause trouble for Concubine Gao.

Princess Qi asked Concubine Gao to recognize her identity.

Let her not always occupy King Qi.

Concubine Gao then said that King Qi was a man of ideas. Whoever he wanted to favor and whom he had no feelings for could not be changed by someone else's casual words.

Maybe this sentence offended Princess Qi.

Then he slapped Concubine Gao.

Then he aggressively took a step forward to visit the old princess in the backyard.

Gao Taotao couldn't bear this tone and slowly followed the princess to the old princess's yard.

King Qi cared so much about Concubine Gao that he was already furious when he saw the red slap marks on Concubine Gao's cheeks, but it was difficult to get angry in the old concubine's yard.

After leaving the old princess's courtyard, King Qi took Concubine Gao and left directly, regardless of the fact that tonight was the first day of the new year.

Naturally, he stayed in Concubine Gao's yard at night.

On the first day of the first lunar month, when Princess Qi was congratulating the old princess, Princess Qi directly complained to the old princess, saying that the concubine Gao was disrespecting the princess and seducing King Qi.

The old princess scolded Concubine Gao on the surface, but did not take any actual action.

Princess Qi went back to get angry and rested early in the evening, but she didn't expect that she would die when she got ugly.

What Concubine Gao was most suspicious of was that slap.

Princess Qi slapped her in front of so many people, who knew she wouldn't hold a grudge, settle old and new grudges together, and directly kill Princess Qi.

Anyway, King Qi favored his concubine. Princess Qi was a foreign princess, and she was still a small Dali. The Song Dynasty didn't take it seriously, and she died as soon as she died.

Su Yixin looked at Gao Taotao again.

Her sixth sense was that Princess Qi was not killed by Gao Taotao.

She was able to expose the concubine's tricks without any guilt, which was a sign of her intelligence. How could such a smart and alert woman kill Princess Qi in this stall?

She is not the daughter of a noble family of the Song Dynasty, but a marriage princess from Dali. It sounds like a marriage, but in fact she is sending a clan daughter to ease the conflict with the Song Dynasty, and by the way, to divert the internal conflicts of the Dali Kingdom.

Even if Gao Taotao doesn't understand, King Qi definitely understands.

If King Qi loved Concubine Gao, how could he not tell her these things.

Gao Taotao, who knows this, will understand that Princess Qi is just pretending to be a princess. When Dali no longer needs this princess, she will be an abandoned son.

Kill her silently at that time.

There won't be any disturbance at all.

Just like Queen Yeli of Xixia who killed the princess of Daliao, she waited for several years before notifying Daliao.

This is still a favored, serious princess.

There is no comparison between a princess promoted by a clan girl and a princess.

Gao Taotao didn't find any problems here.

After coming out of Zongzheng Temple, Bao Zheng stroked his beard and sighed: "This is the first time that I have encountered such a case with no clues in all my years as an official."

"Master Bao, I would also like to meet Princess Qi's other three maids."

The princess is a first-class concubine, with four first-class maids and eight second-class maids.

When going to bed at night, the first-class maids take turns keeping watch, usually two together, one for half the night and the other for the rest of the night.

Chun Ya who died in the dungeon stayed awake for half the night.

Lu Gongchuo asked people in Princess Qi's courtyard the next day, but the records in the file were very simple.

The official asked: What were you doing when Princess Qi died?

The maid replied: Sleep.

The officer asked again: Who will testify?

The maidservant replied: They are all sleeping and there is no one to testify.

The three maids all responded like this.

No wonder there are no clues at all!

Several people came to Prince Qi's Mansion and happened to see Prince Qi going out.

Before Gu Qingjue went to work in Guangdong and Guangxi, he and Zhao Zongshi had bumped into each other several times while drinking at Baifanlou, and had a brief chat.

For Zhao Zongshi, Gu Qingjue's senses are okay.

But when solving a case, remember to bring your personal emotions with you.

"Master Bao, Master Gu, Princess Ruian, are you here to investigate the case?"

"Yes, there are some things that I need to ask Princess Qi's maid."

Zhao Zongshi nodded, gave up going out, and personally took them to the princess's yard. He probably wanted to find out the cause of the princess' death as soon as possible and let the concubine come out as soon as possible.

Arrive at Princess Qi’s yard.

There are quite a lot of flowers, but they don’t have the special fragrance that Mr. Pan said.

Su Yixin was afraid that she had heard something wrong, so she walked around deliberately. Su Yixin had seen all these flowers. Some varieties were indeed valuable, but that was because it was difficult to live in Kaifeng in the cold winter, and things were rare and expensive.

After walking around, the three maids serving Princess Qi called over.

They are all seventeen or eighteen years old, one is named Chunhong, and both Chunya and Princess Qi brought them here from Dali.

The other two were named Xizhao and Yuzhao, and they were assigned to her by the mansion after her marriage. On the night when Princess Qi died, Chun Ya and Xizhao stayed vigil.

The sunset is in the middle of the night.

Xizhao said: "Princess Qi stipulates that Yuzhao and I will only stay together until midnight."

Lu Gongchuo asked Chunhong next to him: "Is this possible?"

Chunhong paused and nodded: "Yes, Princess Qi said that Chunya and I came from Dali with her. She trusted us, so she separated Chunya and me during the night watch and asked us to watch for half the night."

Lu Gongchuo said: "Then why didn't I tell you these things when I asked you before?"

　Chapter 2 will still be a little late, sorry!
