Your Majesty, Your Majesty has run away again

Chapter 99

"Empress, it's not good." That night, when Shen Xin had finished her supper and was about to fall asleep, she heard the voice of the palace maid. slave girl.

"Who are you?" Qing Xu didn't have a good look at the maids who disturbed Shen Xin for no reason. She had seen all the maids in Qinfeng Palace. How did this maid not come in from Qinfeng Palace?
"Empress, please forgive me. It was the maidservant who let this sister Miao'er in. Something happened to Concubine Shu."

"Get up and answer." Shen Xin glanced at the maidservant who was speaking, it was sent by Eunuch Chen who was next to Qin Ao after she deliberately attacked the maidservant of Qinfeng Palace last time, Eunuch Chen still has to give face.

"Empress, my empress has hanged herself." Miao'er's eyes were swollen like walnuts, it was obvious that she was really crying and sad.

"Your mother hanged herself, and you didn't ask Concubine Lin Gui to take care of your family's funeral, but instead you came here to this palace. What is your intention?" It's not that she is heartless, but she is a queen in name only, and she has no real power in her hands. Concubine Lin Gui was really in charge, she really didn't know why this palace maid came here to find her at this time.

"Empress, after my mother greeted you today, I asked my servant to come to Fengqin to find you immediately if anything happened to her. The servant suspects that my mother did not hang herself, but was killed by someone else. I'm asking you, Empress, to be the master of my family!" Miao'er wept silently, if her mother hadn't been murdered, how could she have said such things to her?
"Oh? Do you have evidence for what you say?" Shen Xin raised her eyebrows. The palace maid previously said that Concubine Shu hanged herself, but now she changed her words and said that she was murdered, which is inconsistent.

"Empress, I don't have any evidence for this servant, but my mother gave this to my servant. I can't read and can't understand what is written on it, so I brought it here." Miao Er took out a piece of letter paper from her bosom, carefully Pass it to Qing Xu.

"Okay, I already know about it. You go back!" Shen Xin opened the letter paper and read it for a while, then handed it to Qing Xu, Qing Xu read it for a long time but did not understand the purpose of these poems written on the paper.It's really weird that a dying person still has the time to write poems that worry about the country and the people and criticize the corruption of the powerful.

"Empress, you must find out the grievances for my mother! The empress's great kindness will be repaid by servants in the next life." After finishing speaking, Miao'er took out the dagger she had prepared and stabbed her abdomen fiercely. Suddenly, the light-colored palace skirt was stained red with blood.

"Have a good burial!" She was convinced that Miao Er was determined to die, and she wanted to use her death to force herself to avenge Concubine Shu.Although the method was a bit clumsy, it was rare for her to be a heartfelt maid, so Shen Xin ordered her body to be carried away for a proper burial.It's not that Shen Xin was moved with compassion, it's just that she doubted Concubine Shu, and Concubine Shu died, there might be some secret hidden in it.Life in the harem is too boring, it doesn't hurt to find something interesting to do.

"Miss, since Concubine Shu has predicted in advance that someone will harm her, why didn't she take precautions? Isn't it unreasonable to write poems if you are in the mood?" Qingxu didn't speak until there were only two people left in the room. Asking, she has tried many methods, and finally found that Concubine Shu's letter paper has no hidden secrets at all except for a few lines of poems written by her.

"It's not that she doesn't want to be on guard, it's that she knows that she is bound to die. Although the paper only says 'Song He Jiujiu, I heard the east chamber of my hall. There are four or five brothers, all of whom are servants. The road is full. The golden head of the horse is golden, and He Huanghuang!', but in fact, there are a few more words behind it, "Peaches grow out of the well, and plum trees grow next to peaches. Insects come to eat peach roots, and plum trees replace peaches. " Concubine Shu really said what she wanted to say In fact, it is the last two sentences, maybe someone is watching her, so she dare not write too clearly."

"Miss, are you talking about Li Daitao's stiffness? Is Concubine Shu telling us that she has treated others well?" Qingxu suddenly realized that it actually contained such a meaning, but for whom did Concubine Shu suffer?There is no one named Tao or Tao in the palace, so who is Li replacing Tao?

"Well, it should be so."

When Shen Xin slipped into the Academy of History in the middle of the night, she felt that some answers were ready to come out, but it seemed that something was missing.Li Daitao froze, now there is no one with the surname Tao in the harem, but it doesn't mean there was no one before.

The next day, Shen Xin got up early.

"Qing Xu, tell the owner of Shangshang to come." Shangshang has the relationship information of all the concubines in the harem, and Shen Xin believes that since Concubine Shu left her last words, there must be some intentions.

Not long after, the owner of the last room came to the Qinfeng Hall to say hello, "The maidservant pays homage to the empress, and the empress is blessed and safe." The owner of the last room was an elderly woman, and her temples were already graying.

"Please, the owner. The owner of the building in my palace came today to ask you something, and I hope the owner can answer my questions for me." Shen Xin looked at the woman in front of him calmly, and the years seemed to fade away. Woman builds up with a facial paralysis.

"Your Majesty has killed your servants. What Your Majesty wants to know, your servants will know everything, and dare not be slack in concealing anything." The owner of the house is named Lou Junlan, who has been trained for many years as a house owner. She has shown her calmness, but when she was scrutinized by Mingming's young empress, she felt that the other party had also dug out the fear deep in her heart.

"That's great. I wonder if the owner still remembers Mrs. Tao Xian?" Shen Xin didn't miss the flash of fear in Lou Junlan's eyes when she spoke.

"Your Majesty, this servant naturally knows Mrs. Tao. The servants are able to have today because of the recommendation of the Holy Family and Mrs. Tao." Lou Junlan tried her best to keep calm, but her trembling hands betrayed her, showing that she Inner restlessness.

"Then, can the landlord tell me why Mrs. Tao resigned as the landlord? As far as I know, Mrs. Tao was not old enough to retire." She visited the History Institute last night and found that her predecessor, Shang Shang The owner of the house was named Tao, but the official historian only had a few words about her, which seemed to be a taboo.

"Your Majesty, I don't know anything." Lou Junlan, who was trying to keep her composure, fell to her knees in fright at this moment. Her fear came from the bottom of her heart, but she was covered in cold sweat in such a hot weather.

"The owner of the building, Concubine Shu is dead. If you don't tell me what happened back then, you are not reporting what happened. Can I understand that you are the culprit who killed Concubine Shu?" Shen Xin He knew that his words were full of loopholes and illogical, but it was enough to deal with Lou Junlan who was already guilty and fearful of death.
