The Queen of Qing Dynasty is beautiful and kind

Chapter 35

In the small black room.

Gu Qinghuan leaned on the chair crookedly, leaned her elbows on her knees, dragged her head, and dozed off incessantly.

The person in the sack in front of him has not yet woken up.

With a gloomy face, Yinzhen put down the book in his hand, yawned, and walked up to him.

"... "

Su Peisheng was also standing at the side with his head bowed, feeling drowsy and panicked. Seeing Yinzhen approaching, his whole body was immediately jolted up, and he woke up three points.

"Fourth elder brother." Su Peisheng felt a little wronged, and said, "This man hasn't woken up yet."

Yinzhen cast a sideways glance at Su Peisheng.

"Go find a basin of water, won't it just wake you up?"

Yinzhen's tone was very light.

When looking at Su Peisheng, it was like looking at a fool.

He had thought of coming here a long time ago, but he hadn't finished reading the book yet, so he simply waited.

"Okay!" Su Peisheng quickly agreed, and went out to find water.

The moment the door was pushed open, cold wind poured in.

Snowflakes began to fall outside the house again, a vast expanse of whiteness.

"hiss--"

Gu Qinghuan, who was dozing off, was blown by the cold wind, and immediately woke up three points.In a trance, he saw the cloud patterns in front of him.

Dirty cloud patterns.

"Fourth brother?"

Gu Qinghuan realized that these were Yinzhen's shoes, so she immediately straightened up and looked at the fourth elder brother who was looking down at her.

The room was very dark, and Gu Qinghuan couldn't see Yinzhen's face clearly.

There is no expression on his face, very serious, it is the meticulous expression that he often wears on weekdays.

"Si elder brother, you actually look good when you smile a lot. Why do you always have a sullen face?"

Gu Qinghuan muttered in a low voice.

After mumbling, he immediately covered his mouth, feeling deeply regretful!

Why is she so abnormal every time in front of the fourth elder brother?Can such words be said casually in front of the decisive Yongzheng Lord?
"I think you have a point."

Yinzhen's eyes moved, as if thinking of something, he said after a while, "But why am I laughing?"

Is there anything worth laughing about?

In the past, the Empress also said the same thing about him.

"Our Yinzhen is a very sensible child, but he always keeps a straight face. The people below are afraid of you. Smile more, isn't it good?"

The memory was a little fuzzy, and the curvature of the corner of Yinzhen's mouth became weaker and weaker.

"The water is coming!"

Su Peisheng quickly came in with a basin of water.

The awkward atmosphere in the room was relieved immediately, Gu Qinghuan looked at Su Peisheng and asked, "Water?"

Brother Si is going to wash up and go to bed?
Before he could get rid of the thought, Su Peisheng took a basin of water and poured it directly on the sack.

It was freezing cold, and when a basin of water went down, the person in the sack shivered all over, and immediately twitched and woke up.

"what!"

The person in the sack shouted, and immediately started dancing.

"Let me go, I really don't know anything! Sister Xiuying, don't blame me!"

The little eunuch was terrified and shouted vaguely.

"Open the sack for him."

Yinzhen only glanced at it, then went to the side seat and sat down.

Su Peisheng was agile, and immediately tore off the sack that the little eunuch was wearing.

"What's your name? What are you doing sneaking around at night? Miss Xiuying, you probably pushed her down the well, right?"

Su Peisheng asked three questions in a row, and the little eunuch was immediately confused.

The little eunuch who came out of the sack was completely soaked, and the icy water was bitingly cold.However, the charcoal fire in this room was burning extremely vigorously.

When it was cold and hot, he sneezed.

"Ah-"

The little eunuch touched his nose, then glanced at Su Peisheng.Suddenly, the pupils shrank

"Eunuch Su?"

"Yo." Su Peisheng raised his voice and asked, "Do you still recognize me? If that's the case, let's answer the question I asked you honestly as soon as possible."

"It also saves... the suffering of those flesh and blood, doesn't it?"

The little eunuch swallowed sharply, his eyes moved a little, and when he looked to the side, he saw Yinzhen who was sitting upright on the chair and looking at him.

The moment he saw Yinzhen's clothes, the little eunuch withered.

Su Peisheng is a member of the fourth elder brother, he knows it.

Now, this is in the hands of the fourth elder brother.

"Miss Xiuying was not killed by me."

The little eunuch lowered his head and said, "My name is Xiao Wenzi. I'm a little eunuch in charge of running errands and delivering meals in the imperial dining room. Tonight... tonight..."

"hurry up!"

Su Peisheng kicked Xiao Wenzi.

"Tonight, I ran over in a hurry because I heard that the fourth elder brother would take people to the well to salvage things tomorrow."

Su Peisheng clicked his tongue immediately.

"Tell me, since you didn't kill Xiuying, why did you go there overnight?"

Su Peisheng said: "You are so self-contradictory. Could it be that you are guilty, and you can't even make up a lie?"

"No no no!"

Xiaowenzi hurriedly waved his hands.

"That's not the case!" Xiao Wenzi was very wronged, and said, "I have some money hidden there. I'm afraid that when the fourth elder brother takes people there tomorrow, he will find the money from the slave's private house."

"That's... that's why I rushed over overnight."

Gu Qinghuan frowned.

"Then why did you go all the way, and kept talking all the way to let sister Xiuying let you go? Since you are not the murderer who killed her, what are you so afraid of?"

I always feel like there is something wrong.

"Is such that…"

Xiao Wenzi lowered his head and said: "I don't like the slave in the imperial dining room. All he does is hard work on weekdays, and he also sent meals to the Clothes Bureau..."

By chance, Xiaowenzi got to know Xiuying.

His clothes were torn, but Xiuying sewed them up with her help.

That's why he hid the money by the side of the first untouched well behind the clothing bureau.

just one day...

When he went to the clothes bureau to deliver things again, he didn't see Xiuying.

Just as he was about to leave, he saw a furtive figure on the edge of the palace wall going behind the Clothes Bureau.

Xiao Wenzi felt weird, but because he was too busy with errands to take care of these things, he hurried back to the imperial dining room.

As a result... for a day or two after that, he didn't see Xiuying again.Instead, I learned that Xiuying fell into the well and died.

The more Xiao Wenzi thought about it, the more wrong he became, and the more he felt that there was something wrong with the sneaky shadow that day.

But he didn't know any more clues, and couldn't do anything.It's just that there is a premonition that maybe that person hurt Xiuying.

This is... I feel guilty.

"Everything the servant said is true!"

Xiao Wenzi kept kowtowing his head, and hurriedly said: "If the fourth elder brother doesn't believe it, you can go to the osmanthus tree next to the well to see if there are some broken silver buried there!"
