Shui Ningyan was startled, and quickly stood up, "Mother, the son is not very familiar with the affairs in the palace, please take back your order."

Smiling lightly, an unknown gleam flashed in the Queen's eyes, "I feel that you can take responsibility. I will leave this matter to you, and I will rest assured."

Shui Ningyan never expected that she would be used by the empress just after entering the palace for the second time, but she couldn't say anything to refute her, so she could only calm down and answer yes shallowly.

Hearing Shui Ningyan's agreement, the queen showed a satisfied smile on her face, and turned her eyes to glance at her confidant beside her.

"Lian Dong is a powerful maid next to me. She has lived in the deep palace for a long time and is very familiar with the affairs of the palace. This palace will send Lian Dong to your side to help you."

Shui Ningyan replied softly, but she couldn't help being a little more defensive towards the queen who was hiding a knife in her smile.

She sent her capable aunt to her side. On the surface, she said it was helping her, but in fact she was supervising her to see if she had a different heart.

The queen's trick is clever, it can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

After receiving the decree, Shui Ningyan walked out of the Queen's Palace, with a honeysuckle beside her.

"Let's go to the morgue to see Qiaoer first." Shui Ningyan said to Lonicera beside her.

"Your Majesty, this servant will lead you the way." It could be seen that she was an old court lady who had been beside the queen for many years.

Shui Ningyan nodded, and got into the sedan chair to go to the morgue.

Because of the bad luck, the morgue was far away from the inner courtyard of the palace, and it was located on the east side where the eunuchs used to go to the toilet on weekdays.

Before approaching the morgue, Shui Ningyan felt that everything here was eerie and indifferent, just as she was about to move forward, she found that her sleeve was being grabbed by someone, she turned her head and glanced at her lapel, Seeing her expression of fear, he smiled at her lightly and comforted her: "You stay here, I will go in and have a look before I come out."

"Miss, you have to be careful." Zijin's timid voice sounded, and Liandong couldn't help but glance at her.

Nodding, Shui Ningyan led the way into the morgue.

As soon as she entered the door, she was surrounded by a cold and gloomy atmosphere.Because there are no windows, the outside sunlight cannot penetrate, so the room is very cool.

But this kind of coolness is not colder than usual, this kind of coolness makes people feel a little creepy.

Shui Ningyan, led by the eunuch guarding the gate, came down to Qiaoer's body, stretched out her hand and lifted the white cloth covering her head.

Qiao'er's face was already a little swollen due to being soaked in the water, and she looked completely unrecognizable.

He turned his head and asked the eunuch guarding the gate, his voice was cold: "Have you asked Wu Zuo to do the autopsy?"

"Go back to the empress, because the empress did not give the order, not yet."

Nodding lightly, Shui Ningyan's eyes were a little condensed, and her voice was a little colder than before, "The Empress will leave this matter to the palace, you should go find Wuzuo quickly, and help Qiao'er verify her authenticity." .”

"Yes." The gatekeeper eunuch hurriedly left upon hearing this.Only Shui Ningyan and Lonicera were left in the huge morgue.

There were many corpses covered with white cloths parked side by side, Shui Ningyan frowned slightly, and asked Lian Dong, "Why don't you bury these people and put them here?"
