The two of them had just chatted for a while, when a palace lady hurried in from outside the hall, and knelt down in front of the empress with a plop.

Seeing this, Shui Ningyan frowned slightly, and then relaxed it, as if she hadn't seen it, with a calm smile still hanging on her face.

When the queen saw the visitor, a trace of displeasure flashed across her face, and she was already dissatisfied when she spoke, "What's the matter with being in such a hurry?"

The empress was not angry and arrogant, which made Shui Ningyan who was sitting next to her feel a sense of admiration. She was so kind just now, but she changed her appearance in an instant. It's hard to guess the human heart...

Sitting at the side, Shui Ningyan's gaze also looked at the pink-dressed maid.

The person who came was a maid from Concubine Jing's palace. Her voice was a bit panicked and fearful, and she told the queen, "My empress, Qiaoer from Concubine Jing's palace disappeared last night. After discovering Qiao'er's body, the empress asked the servants to come and report to you, please handle the matter."

The maid seemed to be frightened by this, and knelt there trembling all over.

Shui Ningyan knew in her heart that it might be another good show of palace fighting, she planned to sit on the shore and watch the fire, ignore it, and see how the empress would deal with it.

"Where is the body of the palace lady now?" The queen frowned slightly, her face was a little cold.

"Back to your mother, Qiao'er has been sent to the morgue in the palace now, our mother is waiting for her to make up her mind." Concubine Jing who came to report hurriedly replied.

As if thinking about something, the queen nodded, and looked at the maid kneeling in front of her, "Understood, you go down first, I will take care of it."

"Yes, Madam Xie." The court lady got up from the ground as if she had been pardoned, and left the hall trembling.

Shui Ningyan sat at the side and listened quietly to their conversation, her heart was full of ups and downs.

This is the harem, the so-called palace fighting.

She smiled in her heart, the battle in the harem was no less than the bloody wind on the battlefield.This kind of sharp knife that kills you inadvertently is even more terrifying.

I'm afraid that the murdered court lady Qiao'er didn't know who sent someone to kill her until she died.

Behind this incident, what unconcealed story is there that makes people kill a court lady?

She was thinking secretly in her heart, but she still sat with her head bowed on the face, making it impossible to guess what she was thinking at the moment.

The queen turned to look at Shui Ningyan, took a deep look at her, and asked casually: "What does the Crown Princess think about this matter?"

Shui Ningyan was silent for a moment, raised her eyes to look at the queen, thought about her words, and said to her carefully: "I believe that the many doubts at this time cannot be because the maid Qiaoer discovered it in the well of Li Meiren's palace. Therefore, it can be concluded that Li Meiren killed Qiaoer on purpose."

"If she really wanted to kill Qiao'er, she would not choose to deal with her in her palace."

The queen's lips curled slightly, and she smiled faintly, "You are very suitable to live in the palace."

Her words were ambiguous, and Shui Ningyan felt a little uneasy in her heart. She didn't understand what the queen meant, but she didn't dare to say another word.

"Although it is the death of a court lady, it is also related to a human life. I will leave the investigation and punishment of this matter to you, how about it?" She handed the matter over to her.
