The medical concubine devoured the world

Chapter 177
"I went to the palace today to see my mother-in-law's palace back then."

In the backyard of Jiayi Hall, the candles in other rooms have been extinguished, and only one room is left with bright lights.

Meng Siyin was sitting next to Zhao Xu, and she still couldn't accept it in her heart. Her brain was running fast and she was thinking about how to persuade Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu still just lowered his head, he murmured:

"My mother-in-law was assassinated when I was five years old. Even the palace was set on fire, and I couldn't see a corpse until I died."

Meng Siyin was a little shocked after hearing this, and set fire to the palace?
"Has the murderer been traced?"

Zhao Xu said in a hoarse voice:

"No, my mother-in-law was not favored back then. The royal father took care of face and sent someone to investigate, but after all, it was superficial. Poor my mother-in-law, I hoped that the father would come to see her until she died."

Meng Siyin was stunned, she didn't know what to say.

But she now understands that this may be the reason why Zhao Xu will not seize the throne. He has seen the cold-blooded ruthlessness of the royal family since he was a child.

What kind of affection, love, close relatives?

The autumn wind from outside the hall blew in along the cracks of the window, and the candles in the hall flickered and flickered.

The light of the candlelight hit Zhao Xu's face, Meng Siyin couldn't see the expression on his face, but he guessed seven or eight points.

She took a deep breath and made up her mind that she couldn't stand so stupidly, she needed to help him.

Meng Siyin took Zhao Xu's hand and asked with concern:

"Who did it, do you have a clue?"

After she finished speaking, she felt that what she asked was actually nonsense. In this harem, she was the only one who could so arrogantly set fire to the palace.

Meng Siyin looked at Zhao Xu with questioning eyes, and Zhao Xu nodded.

"The fire in the entire palace spread from the palace gate to the inside. Someone must have set fire to the fire. But I have no evidence. It has been many years. The palace where my mother and concubine was burned has also been rebuilt, and everything no longer exists."

Meng Siyin looked at Zhao Xu firmly and said to him:
"No, there will definitely be traces left. If we keep looking for it, we will definitely find it."

Zhao Xu raised her head to meet Meng Siyin's gaze, and seeing her serious expression and firm gaze, Zhao Xu stretched out his hand and took her into his arms, thanking her word by word.

Meng Siyin leaned on his shoulder and smiled slightly.

Then Meng Siyin thought of the classic Sherlock Holmes quote.

"You can't reason without any evidence, and you can only go astray."

But the current situation is that they know who the murderer is, how can they find evidence?

Meng Siyin suddenly raised her head to look at Zhao Xu and said to him:
"You said your mother-in-law was killed when you were five years old?"

Hearing her question, Zhao Xu was a little confused, but nodded anyway.

Meng Siyin raised her hand to hold her chin and began to analyze Zhao Xu:

"It has been a long-standing unsolved case. If we want to find evidence, we need physical evidence, or human testimony. After so many years, the physical evidence is definitely gone, but the human evidence is not necessarily."

Zhao Xu naturally understands these thoughts of Meng Siyin, but he has been secretly investigating this matter over the years.

Back then, the fire in Zhao Xu's mother concubine's palace was dragged on for a long time, and the palace gate was completely blocked by the fire, and only then did someone go to put out the fire.

It was only because the queen held a banquet for the night viewing of the Epiphyllum in the palace at that time, and most of the people went to the banquet, but Zhao Xu's mother and concubine did not go because she was sick all the year round.

After the fire got bigger, the water supply in the palace was insufficient, and the fire intensified, and all the people in the palace were spared.

Since then, Zhao Xu has hated the high walls of the deep palace and the indifferent and ruthless emperor.

Zhao Xu fell into memory, exuding a cold chill all over his body, and was about to freeze the hall into an ice cave.

Meng Siyin sensed Zhao Xu's abnormality, and patted him lightly. He came back to his senses, looked at Meng Siyin, and the killing intent in his eyes diminished a lot.

"It's just that all the people in my mother's palace were burned to death. Where did the witnesses come from?"

Meng Siyin was lost in thought, she looked at Zhao Xu hesitantly.

Zhao Xu saw that she was hesitating to speak, so she asked her to speak directly.

Although Meng Siyin couldn't bear to let him recall those heavy memories, she didn't know what happened back then, and couldn't help him find a way.

After thinking for a long time, she made up her mind and said to Zhao Xu:

"Can you tell me what happened back then, so we can discuss countermeasures."

Zhao Xu was unexpectedly calm, and he told Meng Siyin the whole story.

After hearing this, she was very angry, and cursed in her heart:
"What kind of dog emperor, isn't it obvious that he is just trying to get rid of the tiger and attack the west again? He can't even see what kind of emperor he is!"

But Zhao Xu also said that his mother-in-law was not favored, but was named a concubine because he accompanied the emperor from the palace for many years, and was promoted after giving birth to Zhao Xu.

Although the appearance is infinite on the surface, the emperor just pity her, does not love her, and naturally will not go to great lengths to find out the truth.

Meng Siyin was very annoyed, but she had to control her emotions and not affect Zhao Xu.

"I sent someone to investigate in the palace. The old man in the palace is no longer there. The water in the palace is changed every five years. Now it is not realistic to find the old man."

Zhao Xu's words brought her back to reality, Meng Siyin calmed down after hearing this, and she followed Zhao Xu's words and asked:

"Change the water, how will the old man be resettled and released from the palace?"

Zhao Xu nodded.

"Yes, but looking for them is like looking for a needle in a haystack."

Meng Siyin had no other choice but to persuade him to persevere.

"I promised the queen mother to stay in the palace to accompany her for a while after her birthday. Then I can pay attention to you in the palace and find out some clues."

Zhao Xu looked at her gratefully after hearing this.

"Thank you, Si Yin!"

Meng Siyin patted his hand pretending to be relaxed, and said carelessly:
"Who are we with whom?"

Zhao Xu was amused by her, and his mood improved a little.

Meng Siyin saw that the ginger tea in his hand was cold and did not drink it, so she wanted to give him another cup, but Zhao Xu put the cup on the table and made an unnecessary gesture at her.

Zhao Xu stood up and looked at the sky outside the window, and said to Meng Siyin
"Siyin, you don't need to make tea, it's getting late, I'll go back first, I've stayed in your palace so late, I'm afraid it's just another rumor when someone sees it, there are many people in the palace, it won't affect you it is good."

Meng Siyin scratched her neck and said:

"I'm not afraid!"

Zhao Xu walked over and scratched her nose dotingly, hugged her in his arms, and said to her:

"You're not afraid, I am. I don't want others to point at you. My woman, I can only point."

Saying that, Zhao Xu raised his hand and touched the tip of her nose, Meng Siyin smiled shyly.

Then Meng Siyin watched Zhao Xu leave the Jiayi Hall.
