As night fell, Shui Ningyan sent someone to tell Helan Mosu about Qiao'er's matter, but did not go back, but stayed in the palace.

"Miss, the crown prince sent someone to tell him that he was delayed by something outside and would come later."

"Understood, you go down first." Shui Ningyan responded lightly, not paying attention to what Zijin said.

Rili Helan Mosu had already sent someone to say that he would come over at night, but Shui Ningyan was thinking about other things at the time and didn't care.

He walked slowly to the side and sat down in front of the zither, playing with his bare hands, and a clear tone passed by.

What is wrong?It seemed as if he already knew the answer in his mind, but he couldn't grasp it.

Scenes of what happened during the day appeared before her eyes. Judging from the evidence found at the scene, Li Meiren and Imperial Concubine Huang were the most suspected people, but this did not mean that Concubine Jing could put this matter aside. clean.

In the afternoon, after she sent Lian Dong to return to the queen, she went to the morgue again.

Suppressing the smell of rotting corpse, Shui Ningyan took a closer look at Qiaoer's corpse.

There are new wounds and old wounds on her body, it is obvious that she has been abused before, but Concubine Jing said that she likes Qiaoer very much, which seems to be lying.

The lime powder on Qiaoer's body was also found in Li Meiren's yard, but the strange thing is that since Qiaoer was rescued from the well in Li Meiren's courtyard, why was her body still contaminated with things on the ground?

This was undoubtedly added afterward.

The imperial concubine has never had any contact with Qiao'er, and with her unshakable status, it is even more impossible for her to be foolish enough to do things that are harmful to her but not beneficial to her.

Who killed her... Could her death be related to the child in her stomach?

The tune in his hand was already out of tune halfway through, Shui Ningyan simply put his hands on the strings, covering the lingering sound on the piano.

As soon as the sound of the piano fell, a ray of light pierced straight into the room from the window and was nailed to the rosewood pillar beside it.

"Who's outside?!"

Shui Ningyan exclaimed, and turned her head to look at the throwing knife that just shot towards her.

The flying knife was only a few millimeters away from him just now, if the person hadn't calculated the distance just now, he might have died under the flying knife right now.

Shui Ningyan was still in shock, put her hands on her chest, and let out a soft breath.

"Miss, what's the matter?!" Zijin heard the sound and ran in from outside.

"Zijin, did you see any suspicious person walking by outside?"

"No, I just heard Miss shouting, so I ran in to have a look." Zijin explained, looking at Shui Ningyan worriedly.

"It's okay, you go down." Seemingly agitated, Shui Ningyan waved Zijin down.

Turning to look at the flying knife on the pillar, there seemed to be a note on it.

Shui Ningyan frowned slightly, stepped forward to take off the flying knife hesitantly, picked up the note and glanced at it.

There was a flash of surprise in his eyes, followed by a clear clarity.

The corners of her lips twitched slightly, so it was so...

Royal concubine, you have done me a great favor.The corners of Shui Ningyan's lips were smiling, if she hadn't told herself, it would have taken her a few days to find out what was going on.
