Chapter 147 Who is the Murderer
The emperor ordered someone to place the body of the concubine Xi, and waited in the courtyard with a very ugly face.The body of a concubine in the harem is not easy to touch, so we can only see what the guards can find.

Shen Guiyan sat next to Gu Chaobei, looked up and saw Concubine Hua sitting on the bottom right, still crying bitterly.Fu Guipin's face was calm, but she felt unlucky, so she covered her nose with a handkerchief.Concubine Jiang's face turned pale, she didn't know what she was thinking, while Concubine Shen was curious, probably wondering how the Concubine Xi died.

Beyond that, there were only Yan Guan Ye Wenwen's younger sister Ye Bin and Gao Jinxiu.The two have been contented in one corner, and there is nothing eye-catching.

"Your Majesty." An hour later, Zhui Yun frowned and came in personally: "My subordinates found some things in Yonghe Palace."

Shen Guiyan raised her head, and Concubine Jiang was also a little surprised: "Yonghe Palace?"

Everyone looked over, there was a guard outside carrying a box into the door, once opened, there were dolls and silver needles inside, densely packed, and many curse words were written on it.

Concubine Hua's eyes turned red, she turned her head to look at Shen Guiyan blankly, Fu Guifei subconsciously glanced at the emperor, and whispered: "It can't be a misunderstanding, right? Where did you find it?"

"The box found in the backyard of the Yonghe Palace, judging from the traces around it, it should have been put away not long ago." Zhuiyun said: "Before this subordinate brought people in, no strangers came in or out of the Yonghe Palace. I have already asked about this."

Bao Fan was anxious, and before the emperor could speak, he stood up and said: "How could it be the imperial concubine, she has never been out of the Yonghe Palace since she gave birth, so where is the thought to do this? Someone must have framed her! "

"Precious fan." Shen Guiyan frowned and scolded in a low voice: "In front of the emperor, you don't have the right to yell."

Baoshan bit his lip and gave Zhuiyun a hard look.He clearly knew that it could not be the master, yet he even said that he found it from the Yonghe Palace. It would be better to just say that it was found in other palaces.

Chasing Yun's back felt cold, so innocent.

The emperor kept silent, just reached out and took the doll out of the box.

It is a very ugly and rough doll made of cloth, with the concubine Xi's birth date on the back, and the whole body is covered with silver needles.There is a curse saying: "He vomits blood and dies, the meridians flow backwards, and he will not be reborn."

What a hatred.

Concubine Fu has been sizing up Gu Chaobei's expression, and seeing that he has no special reaction, she tentatively said: "Concubine Yan and Empress Xi have no enmity, how could she do such a thing? What do you think, Your Majesty? ?”

Gu Chaobei snorted softly, let go of Concubine Xi's doll, and rummaged through the box. Under the rags, there were other dolls.

"Ah." Fu Guipin was startled, seeing the other dolls, she rushed to find the one with her birth date on it, opened her eyes wide and looked over and over several times.

"Severed arms and legs, bleeding to death from seven orifices?" Fu Guipin couldn't believe it: "How can you be so resentful?"

"There are still concubines." Concubine Hua picked up her doll with a livid face, and the people behind all came up, rummaging through it, and each had a doll.

Shen Guiyan alone did not.

Concubine Fu Gui seemed to understand something, took the doll and knelt down towards the emperor: "Concubine Yan Gui loves the emperor's heart, concubines can understand, but it's too hearty to think that she is the only one in the harem and monopolizes the emperor's favor. And with such insidious means... the one who went to attack the concubine today, should he be a concubine tomorrow?"

Concubine Jiang was trembling all over, and she also knelt down, completely forgetting Shen Guiyan's kindness to her at the beginning, kowtowed to Shen Guiyan and said: "Young concubine, please forgive me, I don't want my internal organs to rupture, please break this curse! "

Shen Guiyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she stretched out her hand to take a look at the doll in Concubine Jiang's hand, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Do you think it was made by me?"

Concubine Hua looked at the emperor, and even said that the emperor did not speak for Shen Guiyan even for this sake, so she was inevitably a little confused.

He used to like Shen Guiyan so much, but now Gu Chaobei doesn't say a word for her?

Concubine Fu pursed her lips and said, "If your empress is putting pressure on you as a noble concubine, your concubine and concubine will naturally not dare to speak. But now the things are found from the Yonghe Palace, and everyone except your empress is being arrested. Cursed. In front of such evidence, I don't know what the empress will say."

Shen Guiyan snorted softly, glanced around them, and peeled off the paper on the back of the doll with the birthday character written on it: "This character, like Bengong's?"

Everyone knows that Shen Guiyan is a talented woman, and the font is even more famous for her willow style.And the words on it are crooked, no matter how you look at it, it can't be written by her.

Concubine Fu Gui was stunned for a moment, pursed her lips and said, "Maybe the empress asked someone to write it?"

Shen Guiyan nodded seriously: "Well, in order to curse you, I have to find someone to help write the birthday horoscopes and spells, for fear that others will not reveal it?"

Fu Guipin was at a loss for words.

"Master Zhuiyun also said that the box seemed to have been put away not long ago. Today, the imperial concubine had an accident, and the idea of ​​searching the palace was from me. Is it stupid that I moved the box to the backyard on purpose, and then asked The emperor searched the palace, so that he can bear the crime himself?"

Concubine Fu Gui couldn't refute even half a sentence, but after thinking about it, she felt that it made sense, what are you doing with such boring things?
"Concubine Xi can leave the palace today. If I want to be alone in the harem, why don't I let her go out of the palace? Why do I want to kill her and implicate myself?" Shen Guiyan turned to look at Gu Chao Bei: "This framing is too clumsy. I have no reason to kill and attack the concubine."

Gu Chaobei raised his lips slightly, then quickly turned his face back, looked up at Shen Guiyan and said, "Concubine Yan Guiyan is right, the gate of Yonghe Palace has been closed all the time, has anyone visited in the past two days?"

Concubine Hua was stunned, and stood up and said: "The concubine and the concubine Shen have been there, but the concubine went alone and didn't bring anything. It is said that the concubine Shen brought a box with her."

Everyone turned their heads to look at Shen Hanlu, Shen Hanlu was watching a good show, who knew that the fire was burning on her body, she hurriedly came out and knelt down and said: "The concubine brought the box, but there is colored glaze on it. The concubine specially dedicated it to the imperial concubine and the empress, and the empress also knows."

Shen Guiyan nodded: "I sent Liuli to Yonghe Palace."

"My concubine said something unpleasant, don't mind your majesty." Concubine Hua said softly, "Glass is a rare thing. If my concubine remembers correctly, it was the emperor who rewarded concubine Shen for her meritorious service. Concubine Yan Your Majesty has been staying behind closed doors and hasn't received much favor, so why did Concubine Shen send Liuli to Yonghe Palace?"

With such a mention, everyone has a number in their hearts.Concubine Shen and Concubine Yan have not been at odds for a day or two. Who can guarantee that Concubine Shen didn't go to give Liuli and took the opportunity to throw the box in the backyard of Yonghe Palace?
Shen Hanlu was so anxious that sweat broke out on her forehead, she shook her head again and again and said, "I really didn't do it, I sent Liuli to Yonghe Palace because..."
