Harem Empress

Chapter 37 Haunted
"Then we can find the murderer." I asked eagerly, I was really afraid that someone would link Luxiu's death with Li Guipin's miscarriage, and it would be hard to say if he was charged with committing suicide in fear of crime.

Emperor Jingyang shook his head there, and said: "The imperial doctor has checked the dishes at the family banquet, and there is nothing wrong with it. How could you eat safflower by mistake for no reason?"

I don't question Li Guifei's miscarriage at all, because she has already become the target of public criticism since she became pregnant. Which concubine in the harem is not waiting to see a joke!It's a pity that the unborn child is missing. What I should be thinking about now is the death of Lu Xiu, and the suspicious palace maid at the entrance of the imperial dining room. As long as I find the palace maid, the puzzle will naturally be solved!
For dinner, I only drank a bowl of simple white porridge. The snow on the eaves had not yet melted. Although it was late at night, it looked like day under the moonlight.

"Miss, miss, save me, save me, save me!" A white figure appeared, with those familiar green shoes and green sleeves, but no matter how hard I grabbed her hand, I couldn't hold her hand, crying anxiously Get up, stretch out your hands trying to grab her, but she still left, the tear stains on her face and the eye-catching black strangle mark, "Green Sleeves." She shouted loudly, it turned out to be a dream, the end of the dream It was so real, and the Sujin pillow was already wet with tears, I must catch the real culprit and avenge Lvxiu.

In the twinkling of an eye, it was New Year's Eve, and I still had no thoughts about the matter of the green sleeves. Emperor Jingyang still didn't ask me to serve him in bed, but came to my palace to sit or have meals every now and then. The emperor's favor has already been sealed as a beauty, and Fang Concubine has also restrained a lot. It seems that the good days of Su Meiren are coming.

On the night of the family banquet, the concubines dressed up brightly for the purpose of allowing Emperor Jingyang to look at themselves more, but today I only wore a simple and elegant lavender floor-length skirt with Shu brocade embroidered acacia flowers, and only a pair of A simple lotus hairpin, almost all the concubines arrived at the Qinghuan Palace. Looking around, a colorful brocade dress with a red satin peony and phoenix pattern and the queen wearing a golden phoenix bow are sitting elegantly. Above, Emperor Jingyang hadn't arrived yet, so he walked to his seat and sat down slowly. At this time, Concubine Fang came over and said in a low voice: "I really didn't expect that Sister Danpin would be so generous. The beauty is now in the thick of the holy family, I am afraid that you, the 'big benefactor', have already been forgotten!"

Turning her head to look at Concubine Fang with a smug face, she smiled lightly and said, "Sister, how can you be so confused, you should be glad that the Sumerians are favored, if there were no Sumerians, how could the emperor break through the threshold of your Furong Hall! "Actually, this is what I heard from An Guoshun. He said that one day Emperor Jingyang went to Furong Hall to see the Sumerians. He accidentally tripped over the threshold of the gate and was spotted by Concubine Fang who was learning Hu Xuanwu in the yard. Without further ado, the concubine quickly ordered someone to saw the threshold, but Emperor Jingyang didn't accept her favor at all, not only said a few ugly words, but also ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to repair the threshold of Furong Hall again, this matter has already been done It was a joke in the entire harem, saying that Concubine Fang was acting like a coward, provoking the emperor's anger.

Seeing that my words were full of sarcasm, Concubine Fang's face turned red and white, she was really pretty. Just as she was about to say something, Emperor Jingyang had already walked into the main hall. The Empress Dowager walked beside Emperor Jingyang, who was still wearing a bright yellow Shu brocade embroidered with patterns of two dragons playing with pearls. The Sumerian wore a pale pink brocade dress with hundreds of flowers and thousands of water, and only wore a simple agate hairpin on her head. She couldn't help admiring: "Clear water comes out of hibiscus, so it's natural to carve!"

After Emperor Jingyang and the Empress Dowager sat down, the family banquet officially began. Due to many incidents recently, my mood fell to the bottom and it was the New Year's Eve today. This wine is so spicy!After drinking a few glasses of wine, my face was flushed slightly, and my body began to heat up slowly. I gently stroked my sore forehead. I thought it might be because I drank too much wine. Wait for everyone to drink When the sun was thick, he sneaked out.

Against the background of white snow, the night becomes so beautiful, the stars in the sky are twinkling and blinking, like the big eyes of the green sleeves!Thinking of Luxiu again, sitting on the edge of the promenade and looking at the distant starry sky, the drunkenness slowly spread, and ordered Tauxue to go down to bring me sober soup, and suddenly felt a figure standing in front of me, There was a sudden shudder, and when he looked up, the blurred figure stood up, and after a closer look, it turned out to be a Sumerian.

"Sister, why are you sitting here alone? It's cold outside so be careful not to catch the wind." Su Meiren asked with concern.

He smiled slightly, didn't speak but waved his hand slightly.

"The concubine knows that my sister is angry with the concubine. The concubine has always wanted to go to Xiangyuan Pavilion to see her sister, but because her leg injury has never healed, so there is no time. I hope my sister will not blame her. Yes." Su Meiren said apologetically.

"Sister, if that's the case, why have I ever blamed my sister? It's just that I've been in a bad mood these past few days, so I drank a few more drinks. Don't think too much about it, sister!" I don’t know how warm and cold the world is. If she had the heart, she would send Chuyi to ask if she couldn’t come, but she didn’t. I just met her by chance. Even though we drew swords and helped each other, it was just a dewy relationship. How can we blame him? Say it.

At this moment, Taxue walked over quickly with a bowl of hangover soup, and said lightly: "Okay, sister Su, go back quickly, so that the emperor won't be in a hurry if he can't find you."

"The younger sister resigned first. The younger sister just wants to let the older sister know that the younger sister has no second thoughts about the older sister. The younger sister has never thought of taking half of the emperor's favor from the older sister. If it weren't for the older sister's rescue that day, I'm afraid. Su Ying is already a useless person now." Su Meiren said in a slightly weeping voice.

"Okay, don't cry now, you'll be offended if you say this, she's so beautiful that she's crying and making others laugh." Reaching out his hand to wipe the tears off her face, he pretended to comfort her.

The Sumerian in front of him burst into laughter, drank the sober soup of Taxue in one gulp, and walked into the main hall holding the Sumerian's hand.

The family dinner on New Year's Eve ended amidst laughter and laughter. I walked out of the gate of the Qinghuan Palace and walked slowly along the dark long street. Ying, from the back, looks very thin and looks like a palace maid. This time I must check it out myself, and slowly follow her not far away. My intuition tells me that she must be the one who killed Luxiu.

Followed her all the way to the Liyuan Tower, looked left and right, there was no one there, because it was New Year's Eve, some of the palace people were on holiday, saw her sneaking in, and walked to the side hall where the green sleeve was murdered, nervous At this moment, her heart rose to her throat. It seemed that the murderer was about to appear. Seeing her walking into the side hall cautiously, she quickly followed her. Heibu Longdong didn't have anything, obviously he saw the maid came in, but when he was wondering, a little eunuch shouted loudly: "Who is there?"
