Concubine Huang said she wanted to leave

Chapter 388
On the main seat, Shang Kelan looked at the scene where the two relatives were separated and reunited happily, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

How could Zhao Kexi die at this time?There is also the eldest princess, I have never seen her go out of Lanzhou before, why did she think of coming to the capital this year?

Shang Kelan was thinking, observing these silently, without speaking.

After Zhao Kehan ​​heard what the eldest princess said, he sobbed and said: "My younger sister has the best relationship with me. The day before yesterday, I came to Ximeng Palace and was emotionally unstable. I comforted her. Why did she die suddenly?"

The eldest princess patted her on the back comfortingly, then looked up at Jin Yantang coldly, and said, "Your Majesty, you seem to belittle us Han'er? Don't forget, she is the former princess. If you don't make decisions for her, I'll make the decision for her myself!"

After finishing speaking, she led Zhao Kehan ​​to the outside of the Jinluan Hall.

Things changed, no one dared to speak rashly, and all carefully observed.

As soon as the eldest princess finished speaking, Prime Minister Zuo stood up with a smile on her face, and said, "Your Highness, the eldest princess, has come all the way to the capital. Why sit down and have a drink? Your majesty is not a tyrannical and fatuous person like the late emperor, but today's It's a big day, why make everyone unhappy because of a dead body? What do you think?"

The eldest princess glanced at him with a half-smile, and said: "Since Lord Shang betrayed the late emperor, he has been in a good mood, no matter what, it is true that a dead person can't disturb everyone's interest just because of a dead person. Have someone bring Chen Zhaoyi's body here, and ask for an autopsy!"

When the eldest princess changed her voice, many people's expressions changed.

Not long after the palace banquet started, an autopsy on a dead person is about to be performed. Isn't this just looking for bad luck?
People are naturally unwilling.

Jin Yantang looked at her, and said calmly: "It's not too late to check after the palace banquet."

Zhao Kehan ​​took Princess Lachang's hand and said, "Auntie, I'd better listen to Your Majesty, but I'm afraid that if I go late, the evidence will be lost by those who care..."

The eldest princess glanced at Zhao Kehan, and then said: "No, how can aunt let you be wronged? The person who killed today may be your sister, and it may be you tomorrow. How can I belittle you?"

After all, she looked at Jin Yantang, and said forcefully: "His Majesty keeps pushing back, is he trying to cover up the real culprit?"

The eldest princess asked Jin Yantang sharply. On the main seat, Shang Kelan narrowed her eyes slightly, then stood up and came to her with a smile, and said, "Don't worry, eldest princess, Chen Zhaoyi may have died accidentally. If you want to see The proof is that the concubine and His Majesty accompanied you to Changle Palace, so why bother everyone's pleasure?"

The eldest princess glanced at her, not paying attention to her at all. As soon as Shang Kelan finished speaking, she turned her head to look at Jin Yantang and said, "This is also a solution, so I will trouble your majesty to take this trip with me. !"

Jin Yantang's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes were deep and quiet. He didn't know what he was thinking. As soon as the eldest princess finished speaking, he said to Fu Pu: "Fu Pu, lead the way."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Fu Pu respectfully responded, took a lantern in front and walked out of the Golden Luan Hall, leading the way for everyone.

The eldest princess led Zhao Kehan ​​and followed behind him, while Jin Yantang and Shang Kelan walked behind him side by side.

As soon as they left the Golden Luan Hall, only the Empress Dowager was left in the Golden Luan Hall to preside over the palace banquet.

Seeing that these people were still gossiping and looking outside, the Queen Mother said indifferently: "Since Your Majesty and the Eldest Princess are going to deal with the case, you should stay in the Golden Luan Hall honestly so as not to be misunderstood."

The queen mother has spoken, who dares to investigate further?

Immediately, all the guests in the hall became honest, and no one dared to delve into it further. Besides, it is very taboo to mention the dead when it is Chinese New Year.

At night, Changle Palace.

When he reached the gate of the palace, Fu Pu respectfully opened the gate and said, "Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness, Changle Palace has arrived."

As soon as the door was pushed open, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew in, and the dead leaves fluttered down in the cold wind, looking very depressed.

I saw that no one cleaned the yard, and the snow and dead leaves were piled up on the ground, which seemed a bit deserted.

Everyone saw the scene of Changle Palace in their eyes, but at this moment, a palace maid came out with a lantern, and two servants came towards them carrying a dead body wrapped in a straw mat. There was a rotten smell in the air.

When the two sides met, the maidservant and the two servants put down the corpses, and respectfully saluted Jin Yantang: "Your Majesty, I will see you, Your Majesty is blessed and safe!"

Jin Yantang glanced at the corpse on the ground, and said, "Get up, is Chen Zhaoyi wrapped in this straw mat?"

Without waiting for the servant girl to reply, the eldest princess ordered forcefully: "Open the straw mat!"

The palace maid raised her head and looked at Jin Yantang questioningly. Seeing that Jin Mantang didn't respond, she dared to open the straw mat.

Immediately, a pitted dead face and a bloody, welted body appeared in front of everyone.

Her wounds, rotting and stinking from being dead for some time, looked horrific.

The palace maid hastily turned her gaze away, trying not to spit it out.

The eldest princess took a closer look, but she didn't react too much, instead she shook her head and sighed: "What a cruel person must be to do such a thing, Your Majesty, do you still think that Chen Zhaoyi's death was accidental? "

Zhao Kehan's legs went limp, and he stepped forward and cried, "My good sister, why did you die so badly? Who killed you? I must make the decision for you!"

When Shang Kelan saw Zhao Kexi's corpse, she couldn't help but feel a little disgusted, so she turned her head and said to the eldest princess and Jin Yantang: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, the eldest princess, this concubine thinks that you should ask for an autopsy."

Zhao Kehan ​​was crying, but when he heard the words, he raised his head to refute Shang Kelan, and said angrily: "What's the use of asking for a job at this time? These slaves in Changle Palace are all ungrateful, they all ran away when the master was in trouble!"

After saying that, Zhao Kehan ​​turned his head and said to Xinrui: "Xinrui, go and find the calligraphy and painting for me. She is the palace maid who serves Chen Zhaoyi personally, so she must know who killed Chen Zhaoyi!"

"Yes, ma'am."

As Xinrui said, she backed out. For a while, only Zhao Kehan's crying was left in the courtyard. If someone who didn't know saw it, they might have to think that Zhao Kehan ​​and Zhao Kexi had such a sisterly relationship. deep?
Shang Kelan's eyes narrowed slightly, and a dark light flashed in Zhao Kehan's eyes: From the beginning to now, it seems that everything is intertwined. And His Majesty, it seems that they are completely led by the nose.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Shang Kelan's mind, and what Yuliu said to him the day before yesterday emerged.

"The servant could smell a faint smell of blood on Fu Qingxi's body. He seems to have just come out of the East Palace."

Could it be that Zhao Kexi had already died that day?
Thinking of this, Shang Kelan's heart suddenly sank, and she subconsciously looked at Zhao Kehan, with a hint of suspicion flashing in her eyes.

Jin Yantang looked at Zhao Kehan ​​indifferently, his expression didn't fluctuate, it seemed that he was just a passerby, and all of this had nothing to do with him.
