Queen is fearless

Chapter 113 The Dead Show Girl

Qingluan felt that what 'Shen Xiuhua' did could be described as stupid.

Originally, it was wrong for her to use torture in private, and she intentionally hurt herself in order to frame Chu Jieyu.

The empress is so intelligent, how could she only listen to her side of the story?
"This matter, if you really talk about it, there are mistakes on both sides. Before Chu Jieyu found fault, I knew it too. It's just that this kind of thing is really common in the harem."

"Now, Concubine Shen Gui has become Shen Xiuhua, and Chu Jieyu still doesn't know how to restrain herself, and she bumps into Shen Xiuhua. She deserves the punishment, but Shen Xiuhua is too harsh."

"As for Li Guibi, she's honest. She didn't add fuel to the picture. If she was punished to kneel, she would be punished."

"Since that's the case, let's all stay in confinement for a month, and let the imperial physician prepare some good wound medicine for Chu Jieyu to use."

"In addition to foot restraint, Shen Xiuhua will be punished for half a year, and Li Guipin and Chu Jieyu will be punished for three months."

The punishment Gu Jinzhi mentioned was not too severe, it was just a monthly punishment, which was not considered a big deal in the palace.

After receiving the order, Qingluan and Hongxiu responded, and sent someone to convey Gu Jinzhi's order to the residences of 'Shen Xiuhua', Li Guipin and Chu Jieyu.

Regarding this, although some of the three were dissatisfied, they dared not say anything more.

The punishment is already very light, if it is changed to a severe one, it is possible to downgrade.

At the beginning of March, the show girls who passed the selection lived in Chuxiu Palace, and someone taught them not to wander around.

It is said that there are three women in one play, and there are dozens of beautiful women entering the palace, so there are naturally more plays in this play.

Although someone has repeatedly warned that it is not allowed to walk around casually, there are always those who are restless and want to find a chance to 'encounter' with the emperor.

"Let's make trouble with them, don't let anything happen, wait until it's warmer, and then make the final selection."

Because it is necessary to choose suitable age royal family members who are suitable in all aspects, so the queen mother will definitely come forward in the final selection.

It's been a cold spring for the past few days, and the weather is very cold. Although he is in the palace, Gu Jinzhi doesn't want the Queen Mother to work hard.

However, after repeated precautions, something happened in the end.

When I got up early, some palace people reported that a beautiful girl died last night.

Gu Jinzhi was washing up, and when she heard the news, she immediately turned around. If Zi Yuan wasn't clever, she would have pulled her hair.

"What happened? Where did he die?" Every night, at a certain time, the gate of Chuxiu Palace would be closed and locked.

It will be reopened at a certain time in the morning.

In Chuxiu Palace, although there is no imperial physician, there are female doctors. There are some minor problems that the female doctors can handle.

"If you go back to your mother, the dead Xiu Nu came from outside the capital..."

"I asked how she died, not her family background!" Interrupting the palace man's reply, Gu Jinzhi frowned.

Although in the past dynasties, there were some problems when drafting girls, but this was the first time that a show girl died, so it's no wonder that Gu Jinzhi was unhappy.

"Yes, that show girl didn't go back to Chuxiu Palace last night, and was discovered this morning. She froze to death alive, on the path near Yuehua Garden."

Seeing that the queen was angry, the palace servants hurriedly opened their mouths and told Gu Jinzhi everything they knew in a long story.

"Didn't go back to Chuxiu Palace? Since that's the case, what do the stewards of Chuxiu Palace do? Didn't you find out?"

"Qingluan, go and get the steward of Chuxiu Palace, why don't you freeze to death?"

In the past few days, because of the cold spring, it is extremely cold, but it is impossible to say that people will freeze to death.

"Why is it there on the small road in Yuehua Garden?" Yuehua Garden is one of the several beautiful gardens in the palace.

It's just that it's not the time yet, so Yuehua Garden at this time is not worth seeing.

However, the location of Yuehua Garden is not bad, it is next to the Imperial Garden, whether it is leading to Fengyang Palace, Longgan Palace, or even Shoukang Palace, there are all ways to go.

In Gu Jinzhi's heart, there was a vague guess, fearing that the dead beautiful girl had moved something she shouldn't have, and that's why she would kill herself.

"Returning to the empress, today, the beautiful girl is only wearing gauze and a big cloak, how can she protect herself from the cold spring? After this night, won't she freeze to death?"

"The slave reckons, I'm afraid it's something that shouldn't be moved, that's why it's like this."

Everyone in the harem knew that the emperor would come to Fengyang Palace every night.

There is a small road in Yuehua Garden, leading to Fengyang Palace, and the path where Xiunu died is the road leading from Yuehua Garden to Fengyang Palace.

Guessing, she heard from someone that the emperor would appear there, so she dressed very lightly and waited there.

However, the emperor was busy with court affairs yesterday, so he didn't go back to Fengyang Palace last night, so he slept in the imperial study, so the beautiful girl didn't wait until she died.

"Okay, pack up that beautiful girl's body and send it home." With a wave of his hand, Gu Jinzhi ordered.

No matter what thoughts she had before, the person is already dead.

When the palace servants who reported back left, Gu Jinzhi turned around and told Ziyuan to continue combing her hair.

"Your Majesty, don't be angry, there are so many people like this, all of them have blind eyelids, thinking that if they appear in front of the Emperor, the Emperor will like it?"

Ziyuan combed her hair carefully, fearing that Gu Jinzhi's temper would not go well, so she began to persuade her.

"I'm fine." Looking at herself in the mirror, Zi Yuan behind her was combing her hair neatly. Thinking of the dead beautiful girl, Gu Jinzhi sighed for her.

It's really a pity to pass away like this at a flowery age.

I really don't know if she listened to the instigation, or something else?
When she was tidied up and having breakfast, Qingluan brought back the steward of Yuxiu Palace.

When he saw Gu Jinzhi just now, the steward knelt on the ground with a thud, begging for mercy repeatedly.

She also knew that the death of a beautiful girl was such a big deal.

"Okay, what's the use of thinking about the seriousness at this time? Ben Gong asks you, how did you arrange for Xiu Nu to enter the palace?"

In order to prevent accidents, before the locks are locked every night, the steward will take people to check the house one by one.

Although I don't know who will become the master of this palace in the future, but right now, they are all beautiful girls, so I have to listen to her.

Last night, as usual, every house was lit before the lock was locked, and when she arrived at one of the rooms, there was a stench as soon as the door was opened, which was directly smoked out by her.

After asking, I found out that there was a beautiful girl in the house who had a stomachache, and she had asked a doctor to prescribe medicine.

The steward didn't think much about it, and the smell in the room was too big, so I didn't look carefully, so I wrote it down.

Unfortunately, it was that room where the accident happened. Since she woke up last night, one of the show girls has not come back. There are two people living in that room, and the other one helps to cover it up.

When she heard about the death of a beautiful girl this morning, she was about to be scared out of her wits. Remembering what happened last night, she quickly sent someone to lock up that beautiful girl who lied.

No, before the interrogation, someone came from Fengyang Palace...
