court ladies begging for joy

Chapter 96

The death of Xi Baoren did not attract Wen Xiaowan's attention at first.Every year and every month in this palace, a few corpses have to be carried out, if they all attract attention, then it will be a mess.

Jin Anguo's medical skills were not very developed at first, and the details were still relatively backward. Wen Xiaowan estimated that Xi Baoren should have died of acute dysentery.

This disease is not easy to control without strong anti-inflammatory injections.It's not surprising that many people die.If there is an epidemic, it is common to die one after another.

Although Ah Chun said that Xi Baoren said bad things about her at the banquet, Wen Xiaowan didn't take it to heart. After all, there were quite a few people who said bad things about her that day. Row.

It’s just that a few days after Xi Baoren’s death, in Renxi Palace, which is also the palace where concubine Liu Fanghan was the lord, there was also a courtyard where a servant who was lower than Baoren died. This time it was not acute dysentery. Died, this time he died of high fever and fever.

It is also a coincidence that this servant was also the one who said something bad about Wen Xiaowan at the queen's banquet, and he said it together with the Xibao man who died before.

Wen Xiaowan vaguely remembered something, as if she had heard the discussion between the two people when she left the greenhouse that day with the excuse of urination escape.She was in a bad mood and didn't pay attention.

Now that this happened, she sensitively felt that something was wrong.It's too much of a coincidence that these two died.

Everything is too coincidental to be a demon, Wen Xiaowan deeply thought that there was already a hint of conspiracy in it.

At the beginning, Wen Xiaowan guessed that this matter might have been done secretly by Nie Jinyan in order to vent her anger.

Nie Jinyan definitely has this method, and when she was in a coma a few days ago, Nie Jinyan must have asked Aman Ayuan after asking Xiao Xizi.Nothing in the greenhouse could escape Nie Jinyan's sharp eyes.

That night, when Nie Jinyan came back, Wen Xiaowan wanted to ask Nie Jinyan, but she babbled a few words, but finally didn't open her mouth.

What happened just a few days ago about the court lady throwing herself into her arms has not yet been found out. It is the end of the new year, and there are many things in the palace, and there are also many things in the previous court. Nie Jinyan said that there is no need Said, Wen Xiaowan can tell that he is very tired.

Hey, I always guess by myself. If I think too much and I am not sure, then there must be something wrong and Nie Jinyan must have done it?
Maybe those two women were unlucky and deserved to die like this. Didn't even the imperial doctor check and find out anything wrong?It's better not to bother Nie Jinyan with this matter of disappearing.

This night, Wen Xiaowan slept very restlessly and turned over a lot. When it was almost dawn, her whole body was nestled into Nie Jinyan's arms, and she was considered a sound sleeper.

Nie Jinyan put his arms around the pretty little man in his arms, but never closed his eyes again. His narrow eyes, like ink, were fixed on the gray ceiling above the bed.

Wen Xiaowan has never been heartless, a girl who sleeps with the pillow on her head, last time she was startled by Prince Rui Long Qi, she passed out and fell asleep in a flash, at a time like tonight, it is absolutely rare .

Two low-ranking masters died in the palace one after another, and Nie Jinyan, who was sitting in the Punishment Division, didn't know.

Although these two people were blacklisted by Nie Jinyan after the empress dowager's flower house banquet, sooner or later they wanted to make up for Wen Xiaowan, but Nie Jinyan was cautious in doing things like this kind of revenge He has never retaliated immediately after the incident happened.

This is not an intensive battle fought by the intensive class. He likes to fight back slowly after a period of time.So, who was so 'kind' this time, who was in a hurry to do this for him?
In the early morning of the next day, Wen Xiaowan was very afraid of hearing the news of a dead person coming from another palace, so she was anxious like a little rabbit for half the night, but fortunately, the day was smooth, and when she went to bed at night, Wen Xiaowan vomited In one breath, I slept more solidly than the day before.

Nie Jinyan looked funny, but didn't ask her.Some things, it's better for the little girl to savor slowly by herself.Once he asked, he was afraid that the little girl would be under more pressure.

Nie Jinyan saw this matter much more thoroughly than Wen Xiaowan, and he had already secretly started to investigate.

The only consolation in Nie Jinyan's heart was that Wen Xiaowan asked him without the first sentence, did he do this?In this way, he felt very satisfied.

Three days later, just when Wen Xiaowan thought that the death of Xi Baoren and the servant who had not yet been titled, she really thought too much, another heavy bomb came out from Yongxiao Palace—before, the maid under her hand Miss Wang, who had bumped into Wen Xiaowan, was hanged by her neck.

When the news came, Wen Xiaowan was drinking porridge and sprayed it immediately.

The person who came to report her disappearance this time was not 'Spring is Full of Garden' this time, but a court lady named Qiulai who was next to Concubine Jia.

After Wen Xiaowan left Yongxiao Palace and got the title of Princess Wenwan, Jin Lan took her place as the head of Yongxiao Palace, and this Qiulai took Jinlan's original position, and she was also regarded as a capable person by the concubine Jia's side. The maid is gone.

Qiu Lai was sprayed porridge all over Wen Xiaowan's face, so he didn't dare to say anything. He wiped it with a handkerchief, and stood beside him expressionlessly, waiting for Wen Xiaowan to say something else.

Princess Wen Wan can't just spray her with porridge and finish the job, how can she explain to Empress Jia, and go back with a face full of rice particles?Not to mention whether the Concubine Jia will punish her for this, but how the people in Yongxiao Palace think of her, she must not be laughed at to death.

However, Wen Xiaowan fell into a long silence. The fact that Wang Meiren hanged herself completely confirmed that her previous guess was not just wild thinking, and someone must be stalking her behind her back.

After two cups of tea, Wen Xiaowan put the hand that was hanging in the air and had forgotten to put it down on the table, and threw the spoon back into the already cold porridge bowl.

She didn't look at Qiu Lai, but asked thoughtfully, "What did Empress Jia Concubine say?"

This happened in Concubine Jia's palace. Concubine Jia's attitude is very important. Whether she is wise and safe and looks on coldly, or helps each other and supports each other is directly related to her future choice.

When people get along with each other, only when they encounter things can they see the true feelings.Even if there is no sincerity, it is good to be willing to bind together for the common benefit.

What Qiu Lai was waiting for was Wen Xiaowan's question. She subconsciously looked around—even when she came in, she noticed that there were only her and Princess Wenwan in the room, but she still couldn't help but take a second look. Life in the palace , there is always nothing wrong with being careful.

"The concubine Jia told the princess not to worry about it. Some people's lives are counted, and no one can stop them. Seeing that Wang Meiren is young and is getting the favor, but she still can't think about it. Looking for bad luck at the time of the year, she hanged her neck She found the way by herself, she can't blame others, the emperor was furious, and decreed that Wang Meiren's father's official position should be dismissed, and the whole family will be exiled in Lingnan, and will never be hired within three generations."

The fury of Jin'an Emperor Longyao is completely understandable.

From the concubines down to the maids in the palace, suicide is absolutely not allowed. You can die of illness, starvation, exhaustion, or even be beaten to death.Among the various methods of death, suicide is never allowed.

If the emperor in power is not of good character, it is possible to destroy your whole family, three clans, nine clans or even ten clans, not to mention the obvious suicide method of hanging by neck.

Emperor Longyao of Jin'an was just an official of Wang Meiren's father. His whole family was exiled in Lingnan and would never be hired within three generations. He was already considered a monarch of high character.

On the contrary, Empress Jia's words of comforting Wen Xiaowan not to hurt her heart were very heartwarming.

The corners of Wen Xiaowan's mouth curled, understanding Jiafei's meaning and position.Speaking of it, it is not in vain that she has been wearing it for so long and put in so much hard work, but there is always no bamboo basket to fetch water.

"You go back and tell the concubine Jia, just say that I am fine here, and I will move back to live after a few days of raising up, the empress is a month old, and there are some messy and unreliable things, don't let her It's annoying to be alone,"

Since people are willing to express the meaning of "sisters are good, one boat", I can't always be raised in the Punishment Department, show affection with Nie Jinyan, and hurt others' eyes.

Only the emperor and his many wives are the only married couples in this palace who are famous. Do others... don't they think their lives are too long?

"The princess is right, the servant girl is going back now, there are some big things happening in our palace, and there are some supporters from the empress who can't welcome them."

After Qiu Lai got Wen Xiaowan's precise words, she didn't want to stand here with a frozen face, her face full of rice porridge.

After waiting for Qiulai to leave, Wen Xiaowan went back to the inner room and sat on the bed for a long time until Nie Jinyan came back.

Nie Jinyan knew about the hanging of Wang Meiren earlier than Wen Xiaowan. As the head of the Punishment Department, the sudden appearance of such a dead person in the palace must go through his hands. Dispose of the corpse and report to the higher authorities.

When Wen Xiaowan saw Nie Jinyan coming in with a frosty body, all the thoughts in her heart were suppressed, and she quickly poured a bowl of boiled black tea with candied dates that was hot on the charcoal stove, "Let's take a sip to cool off first."

When Nie Jinyan raised his wrist to drink tea, Wen Xiaowan tiptoed to help him take off the white fox fur cloak he was wearing.

Hanging it on the wooden frame hook nailed to the wall in the outer room, he took another copper hand stove wrapped in silk cloth, and handed it over after Nie Jinyan put down the tea bowl.

Nie Jinyan took the stove and sat on the bed. Wen Xiaowan threw another warm handkerchief and wiped Nie Jinyan's cheeks herself, simply wiping away the frost and dust from the day.

Waiting for Wen Xiaowan to put down the veil and sit beside Nie Jinyan, before Nie Jinyan could open her mouth, Nie Jinyan first mentioned the matter of Wang Meiren.

"You know about the hanging of Beauty Wang, right?"

Nie Jinyan's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and a vertical line forced out between them. Wen Xiaowan looked distressed, raised her hand to stroke his brow, and slowly opened it, "Yes, I see."

Nie Jinyan took a deep breath, and said in a heavy tone, "I have carefully inspected Wang Meiren's body, and it is a suicide."

Wen Xiaowan also thought about this matter when she was thinking alone in the afternoon.

The scene of the hanging was well disguised. It is hard to say whether he hanged himself or was forced to hang himself.Wen Xiaowan thought that she couldn't tell the difference between the two.

Nie Jinyan said that it was true that Wang Meiren committed suicide, and Wen Xiaowan immediately believed it.

Just as she was about to say something, she heard Nie Jinyan say, "But the reason for Wang Meiren's suicide, I really can't think of."

Everything happens for a reason, there will never be something that happens for no reason, and after getting it all entangled, there is no reason for Wang Meiren to commit suicide.

She is one of the few girls who can be awarded the beauty position after being selected this year. When it comes to doting, she is no less than other young masters of the same position. A piece of cotton embroidery.

Those beauties and treasures who have been out of favor in the palace for many years have not yet given birth to a suicide. She... how could she commit suicide?
Moreover, according to Wen Xiaowan's observation, Wang Meiren doesn't seem to be the type who suffers from depression. This woman is extroverted and hot-tempered. If she is said to kill someone, Wen Xiaowan is more likely to believe it. To say that she committed suicide is like who said that the empress dowager is thin. It's ridiculous that the mother and son of Jin'an Emperor Longyao are as affectionate.

"Nie Jinyan, do you feel something?"

Just a beautiful woman committing suicide for no reason will never make Nie Jinyan's expression heavy, unless it is the series of dead people in the palace that have already given Nie Jinyan a clue, and the forces behind it are Nie Jinyan. Honestly, it's a headache.

"Do you still remember the deaths of Xi Baoren and Wang Shiren? Their bodies were also inspected by the imperial doctor and the coroner, and then I personally inspected them."

Nie Jinyan is a person who has experienced catastrophe since childhood, and his vigilance against danger and conspiracy is unmatched by anyone.

When Xi Baoren's death happened, he had already paid attention to it, checked the inside and outside of the scene, and asked someone to collect it after confirming that it was correct.

In order to be afraid that others would find his faults in the future, he even called Lin Changhai over: one is that Lin Changhai is also the deputy chief eunuch of the respect room, and it is not thorough to handle this matter without calling him; The emperor's confidant since he was a child, no matter what he found or what he didn't find, he said it better than Lin Changhai; the third is Lin Changhai... This person is also willing to take care of things, as if he can raise his worth and status.

Just like Wang Meiren's suicide, Xibaoren and Wang Shiren's illnesses and deaths were not suspicious at all, and they died perfectly, as if they were just for the purpose of completing the death—the death was well deserved.

Wen Xiaowan knew what Nie Jinyan meant, the more there was no doubt at all, the more it made people feel confident.

These three people didn't have any intersection at first, they belonged to different palaces, although they were all selected by a group of beautiful women, they didn't usually move around much, but after their death, their intersection increased.

For example, they all died violently, or for example, before they died, they all had some minor or minor grievances with Wen Xiaowan, even if they looked inconspicuous, but the eyes of the people in the palace were poisonous, who would not see it.

"Who... who did it?"

Wen Xiaowan put her hands on Nie Jinyan's shoulders, leaned her whole body over, leaned into Nie Jinyan's arms, and asked very softly.

"Although no evidence of implementation has been found, there are only a few people on the left and right, but what is their purpose for doing this?"

It's not that Nie Jinyan didn't guess it, he just didn't want to think about it. Once it was confirmed, it would be very troublesome, and he had already guessed this aspect, and he would never allow the situation to develop further.

"I'm afraid it's... aimed at me."

What Nie Jinyan was unwilling to say, Wen Xiaowan said out with self-knowledge, she was just a little puzzled, "How do they control other people's life and death?"

Ventilation and high fever, these two methods of killing Xi Baoren and Wang Shiren, Wen Xiaowan can still understand, but how could they force Wang Meiren to hang herself alive?

It's not that Wang Meiren doesn't know the palace rules. If she dies like this, her family will definitely be implicated.

Wang Meiren is the legitimate daughter of the family, and her parents are in charge of the beads. She must have never been treated wrongly at home, so that she wanted to use this method to take revenge on her family. So, what is it for... and how did she do it?
This is also why Nie Jinyan didn't want to understand it. It seems that he is going to find Long Jun tomorrow. That magic stick is a heretic, and he always knows more than others.

Nie Jinyan felt that the left and right could not escape the medicine, what kind of medicine was it that was so powerful?

This night, Wen Xiaowan didn't sleep well again. Nie Jinyan felt the same way. He couldn't see Wen Xiaowan like this. He not only held Wen Xiaowan in his arms all night, but also sang when Wen Xiaowan was half asleep and half awake. The lullaby he sang.

Nie Jinyan's neutral and deep voice, when he deliberately lowers his voice, will bring out a different kind of lingering gentleness, he just hummed twice, and Wen Xiaowan fell asleep peacefully in his arms past.

However, Nie Jinyan's expression became more and more serious from that night onwards. When the eunuchs and maids saw him approaching from a distance, they would quickly give way, wishing to find a crack in the wall to sneak in. up.

Wen Xiaowan this morning, not long after she had breakfast, she unexpectedly received a "Valented Guest" far beyond her imagination.

So much so that when Xiao Gongzi reported to her, she was stunned for a while before she realized, and said in a low voice, "Please!"
