I heard that Niangniang is nearsighted

Chapter 471 - The Floating Corpse in the Lake-
On a quiet night, a round of bright moon parted the thick clouds, exuding bright moonlight, and shedding a layer of cool moonlight on the ground.

I don't know where the bird's call came from, and the mourning was melodious, and it gradually flew away.

There are circles of ripples on the surface of the lake, but there are no traces of flexible koi. Only the lotus leaves in the middle of the lake are spread out layer by layer, and the lotus stretches its delicate body under the moonlight.

Wearing a double-ringed bun and wearing a palace dress, the little palace lady hurried past with a lantern. The dark yellow lantern swayed in the breeze, illuminating her feet.

A hoarse bird call suddenly came from the lake.

The little palace maid was so frightened that she turned pale, as if she saw something on the surface of the lake.

She swallowed, thinking of the legend about the lake, the seniors said that no part of the palace where there is water is clean, whether it is lake water or well water, the palace is a place where filth is hidden, and the water is clean. It is the best place to hide corpses.

The voice of the bird was hoarse, and the black ominous bird flew low over the lake, and the ripples on the lake were slightly rippling.

"call……"

"It's just a bird..."

The little maid wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said to herself as if she was comforting herself. She smiled, and was about to leave the lake when she suddenly noticed a shadow not far from the lake.

The shadow actually looked like a human figure.

"what!--"

A sharp and terrifying cry cut through the night sky and shattered the peaceful night sky.

The originally silent palace suddenly lit up.

Even in Luo Temple, Fan Manman got up and took Liu Ying and Liu Shuang to the lake.

The dead body fished out of the lake was a man!But this lake is in the harem, how could the outsider appear in the lake in the harem? Looking at the luxuriously dressed and wealthy, he doesn't look like an ordinary guard who sneaked in.

"The one who died was the Prince of Wu, Shi Hui." Caiyi, the maid of honor in front of the queen, recognized her, and replied to the queen with a serious face.

The empress was full of demeanor, and she looked sharply at the little maid kneeling below, "Tell me how you found out?"

This happened in the harem, and it was her dereliction of duty as the empress.

Originally, the envoys from various countries were leaving the capital tomorrow, but the clinker was murdered in the imperial garden tonight, and the one who died was a favored prince of Wu.

Shi Hui's mother and concubine are still being favored, and the emperor of the Wu Kingdom is a fool. Shi Hui's mother and concubine blowing the pillow wind, maybe something will happen.

The queen looked impatiently at Shi Hui's body on the ground.

"Reporting to the Empress, when the servants and servants found the body, they didn't see anyone else around them..." The little maid knelt on the ground with a look of panic.

Where has she seen such a posture.

The queen frowned, a little dissatisfied, the little maid didn't provide any clues, she looked at Qi Yun who was beside her, "Guard Qi, when will His Majesty return to the palace?"

"Your Majesty and General Dongze went to the military camp in the suburbs, and I have sent people to look for it." Qi Yun touched the sword at his waist.

The queen took a deep breath. She had to ask something before His Majesty returned to the palace, otherwise she would not be able to explain to His Majesty, and it would appear that she, the Queen, was too incompetent.

"Has Master Fu Yan called?"

"Reporting to your mother, it has already been handed in, and it is estimated to be here soon."

"Right now? What I want is to get it now!" The queen looked at the talking eunuch with sharp eyes.

The little eunuch quickly knelt down and confessed.

Concubine Rou comforted the queen, "He is just a little eunuch, sister Mo Qi, you have to trust Mrs. Fu Yan, he has always been dedicated to his duties, as long as there is a murder case, he will arrive at the scene soon, the most important thing now is to let unrelated people Spread out, don't mess up the traces left by the murderer at the scene."

Zheng Xiuyi looked at the swollen corpse on the ground, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, and he quickly looked away.

Fan Manman, who was standing behind Concubine Rou, suddenly felt a little sick, when a handkerchief with a fragrance appeared in front of her.

Concubine Rou handed her the handkerchief and asked Fan Manman to cover her mouth and nose. She swayed slightly to block Fan Manman's face, preventing her from seeing this terrible scene.
