Daughter of the Prince of Rebirth

Chapter 869 The Grand Finale (5)
"Yes, Princess!" The little maid was trembling. She didn't know whether it was because she knelt on the ground for too long, the cold air invaded, or some other reason, her slender body trembled slightly.

"As far as I know, the spices in the censer are changed and added once a day, that is to say, every morning, when the study is cleaned, the censer is cleaned and the spices are changed, and at sunset in the afternoon, the spices are added once. Why do you come here in the middle of the night? Spices?" When the maid exclaimed, the emperor and the empress happened to pass by the East Palace, which was too much of a coincidence, and suddenly it looked like it was arranged on purpose.

Everyone in the inner room understood what Murong Yu meant, and their gazes instantly focused on the little maid. There was a flaw in the maid's words, and she was only concerned about the Ninth Prince's affairs just now, so she neglected this point.

The body of the little palace maid trembled even more, and her voice trembled: "Back... the princess... the night is a dust-cleaning feast, and the servants thought that the prince would not go back to the study. The spices added to the censer are used to smoke the room. The fragrance is stronger, the prince I don't like it, I heard that the prince went back to the study to deal with the matter, and the servant was afraid of the prince's scolding, so I just prepared the spices and came to replace it..."

"Are you on duty tonight?" Murong Yu asked abruptly.

The little maid subconsciously shook her head: "Back to the princess, slaves are not on duty at night!"

"The prince already has the prince's mansion. If there is no special order, he usually does not spend the night in the palace. Now that it is the time of the prince, according to the palace rules, all the maids in the prince's east palace, except those who are on duty at night, should sleep. You are not on duty. , why didn’t you sleep?” He even came to this study to exchange spices.

"Back to the princess, the maidservant had already fallen asleep, it was sister Huarui who was on duty at night who woke up the maidservant..." the little maid said honestly.

"Come on, call the stamen!" The emperor's tone was cold, and the matter became more and more involved and complicated.

The flower stamen was just outside the door, and was escorted in by the guards: "My servant, see the emperor, the empress, the imperial concubine, your highness the prince..."

The emperor lowered his eyes: "You reminded Xiaojie to change the spice?"

"Back to the emperor, the maidservant is in charge of night duty. After nightfall, I checked the entire East Palace and found that the incense burner in the study room was filled with incense from the room. The maidservant thought that His Royal Highness would not come back, so she didn't care. Hurrying into the study, I just reminded Xiaojie to come and change it!" Huarui spoke clearly and clearly, and everyone heard her words clearly.

"Since you are on duty at night, why don't you come to change the spice yourself, instead of waking Xiaojie up, wouldn't it be a waste of time?"

Hua Dui was calm and composed, and her answer was seamless, but for some reason, Murong Yu always felt that something was wrong.

"Back to the princess, the incense used in the Eastern Palace is very valuable, especially the ambergris smoked in the Prince's study room, which is even more valuable. Xiaojie is responsible for the incense in each room of the Eastern Palace. She holds the key to the spice box. Xiaojie must come in person to get the incense. , servants dare not move without authorization!" Huarui's tone was sincere, and her words were also very convincing.

"Back to the princess, what Sister Huarui said is true. All the spices in the East Palace must pass through my hands, and no outsiders can touch them!" The state has state laws, the family has family rules, and the East Palace also has the rules of the East Palace. Incense, clean the room, make the bed There are dedicated personnel responsible for all things such as stacking quilts, and if there is a problem, the person in charge will be punished directly.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and the branches swayed outside the window. Murong Yu walked slowly towards the bed. Xiaojie and the flower stamens were all living people. Murong Yu half-believed what they said. The Ninth Prince was a dead person. What appeared on his body was the most real situation , absolutely can't tell a lie, so Murong Yu wanted to check the Ninth Prince to see if he could get some clues from him.

"Murong Yu, what are you doing?" Concubine Ye Gui took a step forward, blocking Murong Yu's path, her beautiful eyes flashed with strong hostility, and her chest was filled with anger.

Murong Yu is Ouyang Shaoxian's concubine, the prince's faction, Ye Guifei's enemy, she doesn't want Murong Yu to get close to Ouyang Yehao.

"The death of the Ninth Prince is very strange. I just want to try to find out the reason, and there is no malice!" Murong Yu's Qingling voice was emotionless: "I don't want the Ninth Prince's death to be unknown, do you? Only the real culprit will be brought to justice, and the Ninth Prince can rest in peace!"

"Can you really find out the real culprit?" Concubine Ye Gui obviously didn't believe Murong Yu's words. After the maid screamed, the emperor and Concubine Ye came to the study and saw the prince beside the bed and Ouyang Yehao who was no longer breathing At that time, Ouyang Yehao's body was very warm, apparently he had just died.

There are dense guards around the study, and the prince is also an expert. Even if he is reading letters in the outer room, he will always pay attention to the movement around him. Who can throw Ouyang Yehao's body into the inner room of the study without him noticing?

Even if the Xun in Ouyang Yehao's hand was framed by a design, the prince was designing Ouyang Shaoxian. Concubine Ye Gui could almost say that she saw the prince killing Ouyang Yehao with her own eyes. Murong Yu also said that she wanted to investigate the truth and find the real culprit. Will not mock.

"I will do my best!" Murong Yu couldn't guarantee whether he could find the real culprit.

Concubine Ye Gui smiled coldly, and turned sideways: "Murong Yu, I hope you can find the real culprit as soon as possible, so that Hao'er can rest in peace!" With the word real culprit, she deliberately emphasized her tone, and stared fiercely at Ouyang Yechen, No matter how much she paid, she would definitely let Ouyang Yechen pay for Ouyang Yehao's life.

Murong Yu came to the bedside and observed Ouyang Yehao carefully. His complexion was pale, his eyes were closed tightly, his small white arms, fair skin, and no scars on his body. Just like what the imperial doctor said, he was suffocated by covering his mouth and nose. die.

Ouyang Yehao is still a child, he has never offended anyone, and his mother is Concubine Ye Gui. Anyone who dares to attack him has a lot of courage, and his status may not be low. Looking at the entire court, he can compete with Concubine Ye Gui Yes, besides the crown prince Ouyang Yechen, it is Rui Wang Ouyang Yeyi...

Suddenly, a strange smell floated into his nostrils, and Murong Yu came back to his senses in an instant, and took a few deep sniffs. The strange smell was the smell of the fire coming out of the brazier, but the brazier in the study It hasn't been burned yet, how can there be such a smell?

Sniffing carefully, Murong Yu's cold gaze followed the direction of the breath, and landed on the Ninth Prince, a flash of light flashed in his mind: "This is not the real crime scene, the Ninth Prince was killed by someone else." Later, I moved here!"
