in the sound of swallows

Chapter 134
Gu Chaobei turned his head and glanced at Shen Guiyan, his eyes flickered slightly: "Why not hand it over to the Ministry of Punishment for conviction?"

Shen Guiyan raised the corner of her mouth: "If the words of witnesses can convict Fu Guiren, how should the emperor deal with it?"

If it was an ordinary concubine, she wouldn't make such a detour.But Bisheng is Fu Xueshi's direct granddaughter, and the emperor's biggest headache now is Fu Xueshi.

If he can take the opportunity to deal with him, it will definitely be much better than simply punishing Fu Guiren.

Gu Chaobei rubbed his chin and thought for a while before answering her: "If I can really be convicted, I will put Fu Guiren in the cold palace, and then I will wait for Xueshi Fu to come here to intercede."

Fu Xueshi dared to be so verbose yesterday because Fu Guiren was not convicted.Once convicted, Fu Xueshi can only back down step by step.

Shen Guiyan nodded, got up and went out to call out the precious fan: "Bring the green bamboo here."

Baoshan responded with a smile and went.

Gu Chaobei turned over, walked to Shen Guiyan's side and took her hand: "Yan'er, you have helped me a lot again."

Shen Guiyan smiled: "The concubine is idle in the harem and has nothing to do. I am very happy to be able to help the emperor."

Gu Chaobei bowed his head and kissed her lightly on the face, his voice was full of tenderness: "You are really the best."

With a slight flush on her face, Shen Guiyan's heart softened, she turned her head to look at Gu Chaobei's side face, and was about to say something when she heard Baoshan scream.

The scream resounded throughout the Yonghe Palace, and Shen Guiyan's heart tightened upon hearing it.Usually there is such a scream, so don't think about it, it must be a murder.

green bamboo.

Shen Guiyan's face darkened, she pulled Gu Chaobei up and ran towards the side room.

Bao Fan fell down and sat at the door of the wing room, Zhui Yun had already heard the sound and came in, just as he was guarding the door and wanted to help Bao Fan up, Gu Chaobei from behind asked, "What's going on?"

Chasing Yun paused, raised his head and pointed to the inside of the room.

Shen Guiyan ran to the door to have a look.

Qingzhu's small body was hung on the beam of the house, and she couldn't move anymore.

Gu Chaobei was taken aback for a moment, then his eyes turned red.

This is the way of death again, exactly the same as Concubine Zhuang back then.

Zhuiyun went up to untie the rope, Qingzhu's body was already stiff.She stayed in this wing room for two hours without uttering any screams, unexpectedly someone could sneak into this place and strangle her to death silently.

Shen Guiyan's eyes were wide open, she had never seen a corpse before, and when she saw Qingzhu's pale face in Zhuiyun's arms, her heart felt stuffy, and she turned her head and vomited.

"Niang Niang." Bao Shan got up quickly, and supported her slightly tremblingly: "Be careful, don't look at me."

Gu Chaobei stood stiffly at the door for a long time, lowered his eyes and said: "If you take the person down and deal with it, it will be treated as suicide in fear of crime. There is no need to investigate this case again."

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Shen Guiyan: "Follow me back to Yonghuai Palace, your palace, and come back after I check it out."

Shen Guiyan vomited so darkly that she didn't even have time to thank her.Gu Chaobei waited for her to finish vomiting, and didn't feel disgusted. He took out his handkerchief and wiped her mouth, and pulled her away from Yonghe Palace.

Qingzhu is a witness, with her there, Fu Gui can be convicted.But now that she is dead, it is impossible for Fu Guiren to be punished without guilt.

Then it should be clear who killed Qing Zhu.

Along the way, Shen Guiyan was in a very heavy mood, and someone died again. The lives of the people around her could be as cheap as cabbage, and they would be gone if they were gone.

When she dies one day, will there be a group of people waiting for her in the underworld, throwing Chinese cabbage at her?

"Don't think too much about it." Gu Chaobei said softly, "It's none of your business, it's just that you have a good health in Yonghuai Palace."

The black hand in the palace stretched out from nowhere, so how could it not be her business?Shen Guiyan lowered her eyes and thought about it for a few moments. Once she arrived at Yonghuai Palace, she took a pen, ink, paper and inkstone to draw and play.

Gu Chaobei saw that she was drawing the style of palace clothes, so he didn't ask much, he just turned his head and ordered Zhuiyun to go and check all the palace people in Yonghe Palace first, and replace all unreliable ones.

"Just stay here for two days." Having arranged everything, the emperor walked behind her and said softly, "I will protect you."

"Okay." Shen Guiyan smiled, bowed her head and was still sketching.

Qingzhu was dead, and two days later, Fu Guiren could not be convicted, and was released back to the palace, where the emperor greeted him personally.Shen Guiyan didn't go to see it, Baoshan went, came back and squatted beside her talking for half an hour.

She said: "The eyes of Mrs. Fu Gui are on the top of the sky, so she can't see her identity clearly. The emperor apologized and she dared to shake her face. The slaves thought that her brain might not work well. But Uncle Wen Guo also came. , that is the one playing with the refugees with the carriage, the fat head and big ears, those who don’t know it think he is a local rich man. When the emperor saw him, he was very respectful.”

"Fu Guiren has returned to the Hehuan Palace, and the emperor has rewarded her with things. Such a snake-hearted person, the master should stay away from her in the future."

Shen Guiyan listened, and finished drawing the palace costume on the paper with a pen.

"Fu Gui has a prominent family background, so it's not difficult at all to become a high-ranking person in this harem." She said softly, "I'm even more curious about why she is following me and harming me, and what good can she do?"

Baoshan pursed his lips and said, "Who doesn't stare at your stomach in the harem now? The only dragon vein, before the other palace has no news, you are always at the forefront."

Shen Guiyan nodded, she also knew this, picked up the painted palace clothes, got up and prepared to go out: "Let's go pay the Empress Dowager Nian, it's been a few days, she should be better too."

"Yes." Baoshan went out to prepare the sedan chair.

The Empress Dowager Nian was not only better, it was as if nothing had happened, she squinted at her coming in, and said, "Concubine Yan, you said you have a big belly, why are you so lively?"

Shen Guiyan was already used to the Queen Mother's way of speaking, and saluted with a smile: "Because this concubine wants to give birth to a lively little prince in the future."

The Empress Dowager Nian hummed, raised her finger and pointed to the seat next to the soft couch she was sitting on, and Shen Guiyan sat down knowingly.

"Let's not talk about the birth of a prince or a princess. You have to come down from the husband to decide. Has something happened in the palace again?"

"The empress dowager has good ears and eyes." Shen Guiyan said with a smile: "It is true that something happened, but the emperor has ordered that there is no need to investigate further."

The Empress Dowager Nian nodded: "The emperor is a thousand miles of fierce water stopping at the dam, and he knows when to stop. The Ai family doesn't worry about him."

On the contrary, she was a little worried about this daughter-in-law, who seemed weak and weak, but she was too embarrassed to say it in such a nasty way.

Shen Guiyan smiled and took out the paper in her sleeve: "I am stupid, Dong Shi imitated me, I would like to ask the Queen Mother for a favor."

The Empress Dowager Nian glanced sideways, and Shen Guiyan took a set of palace clothes drawn on the paper, which looked like a chest-length skirt, which seemed to have been slightly modified to meet the current popular aesthetics.

Just looking at this year's queen mother, she can understand Shen Guiyan's thoughts, and she took it over with a chuckle: "Send clothes to Ai's family? Anyway, I will really do it next time, don't let Ai's family spend any more time waiting."

Shen Guiyan said in a low voice: "My empress dowager forgive me, this dress can only be made by my empress dowager herself."

How the Empress Dowager used to protect her baby, Shen Guiyan wanted to protect it.But it won't work to use the same method twice, so the process has to be changed.

"The Ai family knows." The Empress Dowager Nian rolled her eyelids and glanced at Shen Guiyan's stomach: "It's a good thing to spend more time thinking."

Shen Guiyan nodded, she had finally come to look forward to this child, so she must take good care of it.

So two days later, the Empress Dowager Nian began to wear the breast-length underskirt palace dress from that year again. The difference is that the color and style of this palace dress is more beautiful now, and the concubines who went to pay her respects all praised her repeatedly.

"Does Concubine Hua like Aijia's clothes?" The Empress Dowager Nian looked at Concubine Hua and asked.

Concubine Hua was slightly stunned, nodded and said, "The empress dowager looks very good in this outfit."

"The Ai family will give you one set. It just so happened that I made two more sets before. I will give you one set and give another set to Concubine Yan Gui." The Empress Dowager Nian said with a smile: "Looking at this dress, the Ai family reminds me of the old lady's clothes. When petting Zhenglong..."

Some of the concubines here know the story behind this, and some don't.On the way back, they asked each other, and when they heard about the royal affairs, everyone was very envious of the Empress Dowager Nian's grace. I don't know who said that this palace attire will bring grace, and everyone's thoughts moved for a while. .

Concubine Hua looked calm and went to Yonghuai Palace to deliver clothes.

Shen Guiyan didn't go out for the past two days, and was tinkering with things at home. Now her belly has grown a lot.Baoshan exclaimed in surprise: "Those who don't know think that the empress is pregnant with twins."

Concubine Hua came in, and Shen Guiyan quickly lay down on the bed.

"The empress is not feeling well, and my concubine brought the clothes that the queen mother gave me." Concubine Hua looked at Shen Guiyan and said with a smile: "In a few days, it will be time for the foreign countries to pay tribute, and the empress can just wear these clothes."

Shen Guiyan pretended to be happy, took the clothes and looked at them: "It's just right, after you're pregnant, it's not comfortable to wear other palace clothes, this one is just right."

Concubine Hua smiled faintly: "Maybe the Empress Dowager did it for you, and the Empress Dowager is very fond of the Empress Dowager."

These words sounded a bit weird, Shen Guiyan looked up at Concubine Hua in surprise.

As a result, Concubine Hua's face was calm, she didn't have any expression on her face, it seemed that she had misheard her tone just now.

"I'll take the clothes, sister Concubine Hua, let's go back first." Shen Guiyan pursed her lips and said.

"Yes." Concubine Hua got up, walked out of the gate of the palace, and stayed in the courtyard for a while.

It was the time when the emperor was going down, she stopped for a while, just in time to meet Gu Chaobei who came back.

"Why is Concubine Ai here?" Gu Chaobei seemed to be in a good mood today. When he saw Concubine Hua, he happily embraced her shoulder just like before: "Will you come to see Yan'er?"

Concubine Hua blushed, nodded and said, "Give clothes to Concubine Yan."

Gu Chaobei squinted his eyes and smiled: "Then I can go and feast my eyes."

"Your majesty is still so unruly." Concubine Hua snorted lightly, thought for a while and said, "I wonder if your majesty is free tomorrow?"

"What's wrong?" Gu Chaobei raised his eyebrows.

Concubine Hua said: "The concubine has prepared a song for the state banquet, and I would like to ask the emperor to listen to it first."
