"Weren't things going well before? Could it be a mistaken identity?" Lin Xiaolian couldn't believe it, "How did you die like this?"

Qiao Xiu felt sad: "I heard that he died in the former Empress Xiuyuan's bedroom in Youchun Garden. Moreover, there was also a hole in her left leg, which was badly ulcerated!"

In this way, the idea of ​​an innocent soul seeking his life is quite convincing.

Everything seems to be the same as in the previous life.

In the last life, not long after Xu Jiuer's death, Liu'er committed suicide in her dormitory, but at that time Lin Zhiyu had been relegated to the cold palace. The details were not clear.

If you think about it carefully, there is indeed something fishy about Liu'er's death.

"Whether it's true or not, you'll find out if you go and see." Lin Zhiyu still wanted to find out whether he was someone close to Xu Jiu'er.

Liu'er was still working in the Shangyi Bureau a few days ago, so how could she go all the way back to Youchun Garden?

He had just told Liu'er about the incident, and something happened later. Is there any connection between the two?

Lin Xiaolian shook her head repeatedly: "This matter must be done by Qiao Xiu. If I see him, I guarantee that I will have nightmares for the next seven days, no, for the next month."

Although Qiao Xiu felt a little uneasy, she was a secret guard after all, so her reaction was not as violent as Lin Xiaolian's.

"Then I'll go with the eldest girl to have a look. The rumor is so evil, maybe it's man-made."

When she was about to leave, Lin Xiaolian brought two more uncooked rice and tea leaves wrapped in red paper: "Miss, take this with you. After all, you are better than others. It can help to remove bad luck."

"The mugwort I smoked in the morning is almost pickled by me. Not only the ghost, but also this person will probably stay three feet away from me when they see me."

Lin Zhiyu expressed disgust, but still put the red paper bag into his sleeve.

Qiaoxiu's face turned red when she was told something, and she was a little embarrassed: "I would rather believe it than trust it. In the final analysis, it is to make myself feel at ease."

The master and servant arrived at Youchun Garden.

From afar, I saw a few young eunuchs carrying a wooden board, with a human figure vaguely appearing on the white cloth, and they were about to go out.

"Fathers, is this Liu'er's body?" Qiao Xiu stepped forward and asked.

The eunuch standing nearby quickly stood between Qiao Xiu and the corpse: "Girl, there is a lot of evil here, so don't get hit. If you have anything, just ask me."

The palace maid died suddenly for no reason. She was probably wrapped in a straw mat and thrown into a mass grave. It would probably be inconvenient if she wanted to check something at that time.

But the eunuch was resolute, and Lin Zhiyu couldn't force him to check, lest he arouse suspicion.

She turned her head and glanced at the body covered with white cloth. Several young eunuchs were walking in a hurry. When the wind blew, a corner of the white cloth lifted up, revealing an arm.

Judging from the pattern on the cuffs and the shape of the hand, it is indeed Liu'er.

"Didn't Liu'er work in the Shangyi Bureau before? Why did she come here to Chunyuan?"

The eunuch pursed his lips and looked around. After confirming that no one was looking this way, he said in a low voice: "This is the strange thing. Although Empress Xiuyuan was said to have left inside Chengen Temple, But there is some grudge against the house I lived in before, so I had this side hall sealed up early in the morning."

"They all said that Liu'er was possessed by a ghost. Wasn't there something going on at Zhaoyang Palace last night? Not only did someone see the deceased Xu Xiuyuan, but they also saw Liu'er who was looking blank!"

"Girl, this place is not clean. Now everyone says that Empress Xiuyuan was lonely underground, so she took Liu'er away!"

These little eunuchs were quick with their hands and feet, and in just a few words, they had the place cleaned up, as if nothing had happened.

The reason why Youchun Garden is called Youchun Garden is because there are two willow trees planted in the yard. When spring comes, they sprout green buds, which is particularly beautiful. But there is also a folk saying that this willow tree attracts yin.

Now that something like this has happened again in Chunyuan, it is inevitable that people will feel a sense of pity in their hearts. The eunuch did not want to stay any longer. He made a promise to Lin Zhiyu and left in a hurry.

Qiao Xiu said doubtfully: "This Wei Shuyi is also strange. Even after such a thing happened, she still lives here peacefully."

These words awakened Lin Zhiyu.

When a normal person encounters this matter, shouldn't he retreat like the eunuch? This Wei Shuyi looks timid and cowardly, how can she have the courage to live here?

When they heard that Cao Cao had arrived, Lin Zhiyu was about to enter Youchun Garden when he saw Wei Shuyi coming to greet him.

"Big girl, what is this?"

Lin Zhiyu turned around and saw Wei Shuyi still looking timid as before.

"Jiu'er will entrust Liu'er to me before she dies. Now that something has happened, she naturally wants to come over and have a look." Lin Zhiyu looked up and down at Wei Shuyi, who didn't seem to have much fear.

Wei Shuyi felt a little strange in her heart. She and Xu Jiu'er often walked together. The eldest girl of the Lin family had just entered the palace not long ago, so how could she be so concerned about Xu Jiu'er's affairs?

When Ruyi mentioned this matter before, Wei Shuyi thought that Lin Zhiyu was investigating it for herself. Could there be something else hidden?

Thinking of this, she put on a smile and said: "Since the big lady is here, there is no reason not to entertain her. Come in and have a cup of tea before leaving."

Lin Zhiyu and Qiaoxiu looked at each other. This Wei Shuyi was really weird in every way!

This is like someone who died next door and had no intention of changing places, but who didn't shy away from having guests over at home, and who enthusiastically welcomed others to come to his home for dinner.

"Okay, okay, I have something I want to ask Wei Shuyi."

Lin Zhiyu raised her feet and followed her. She wanted to see what kind of tricks Wei Shuyi was playing!

Youchun Garden is relatively remote, and the servants don't pay much attention to it, so the indoor furnishings are very simple, with two Taishi chairs, a small square table, and only three or four lights. Fortunately, the windows on the left and right are open, and it is daytime again. , the sunlight came in, it was quite bright.

Ruyi brought a brand new tea and poured it for Lin Zhiyu and Wei Shuyi. The teacup looked old and the patterns had faded a lot.

Thinking of Jiang Wanning's extremely extravagant Zhaoyang Palace, Lin Zhiyu sighed silently in his heart, there was such a huge difference between the treatment of those who were favored and those who were not favored.

"A person died in this side hall, isn't Wei Shuyi afraid?" Lin Zhiyu noticed that when Ruyi poured the tea, he turned the lid slightly, so he was not in a hurry to touch the tea.

When Lin Zhiyu said this, Wei Shuyi's face showed a bit of panic: "This dead person is a living person after all. It would be a lie to say that he is not afraid. It's just that the emperor will come over later, so I feel more nervous than afraid. There’s more.”

In just a few words, the matter was revealed.

"I have been in the palace for such a long time, and the number of times the emperor has come to Youchunyuan can only be counted on one's fingers. It is understandable that the empress is nervous." Ruyi added on the side.

Hearing this, Lin Zhiyu softly said "Huh".

Seeing that she didn't ask further questions, Wei Shuyi breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't expect Lin Zhiyu to visit suddenly, but he had forgotten about it.

It's just that the eldest girl of the Lin family is very meticulous, and she can even notice such small flaws.

"But Liu'er is working well in the Shangyi Bureau, so why did she come to Chunyuan? I heard from my aunt that it was Empress Shuyi who brought her back?" Lin Zhiyu looked at Wei Shuyi leisurely, observing her carefully. expression.
