Empress, she wins by eating melons and laying down in the harem

Chapter 221 The Corpse in the Backyard of the Restaurant

A strange thing happened to Concubine Shu.

A strange thing also happened in the Queen's Fuyun Palace.

The queen hurried from Concubine Shu's Yuqing Pavilion to the Empress Dowager's Compassionate Palace last night, and saw the empress dowager's haggard appearance. Over the years, the original resentment towards the queen mother, because the queen mother suddenly fell ill, everything in the past was let go.

"Auntie, what's the matter with you?"

The queen mother was weak, and when she saw the queen, she took her hand and said, "Ai is old, and I will depend on myself from now on!"

The Queen Mother knew that she would not have long to live, and before she left, she was worried about her niece.

"Auntie, don't be silly, my niece is still waiting to play chess with you?"

"Play chess?" the queen mother muttered, and her thoughts went back to many years ago, in that familiar and strange place, where they had their happy past.

"At that time, my aunt always let my niece go, but this time my niece doesn't need you to let me go." The queen took the queen mother's hand and put it on her face, feeling the warmth from her face.

The queen mother is her only relative.

The queen felt that she realized it too late, and missed so many good times. Now she regrets it, and finds out that the queen is no longer what she was then, and she is already old now.

Just as she was thinking about feeling her palm sink, the queen froze for a moment, and soon tears flowed down her cheeks.

Nanny Luo could see clearly from the side, and quickly explained, "The Empress, the Empress Dowager is asleep again!"

The queen realized that she had lost her composure, so she got up to cover up her gaffe, and said, go back to Fuyun Palace first.

I just returned to Fuyun Palace, walked past the pond where the koi were raised, and found that all the koi raised in it were dead!
Grandma Wang was also very surprised to see it.

what happened?

Wang Momo asked the maid Xihong Xiyu to serve the queen, and she went to ask about the situation.

In the end, no one knew. It seemed that the koi that were alive just a moment ago all died when the queen arrived.

The queen lost her favorite thing again, and because she took care of the queen mother for a long time, her face was pale, and she was helped back to the house.

Wang Momo is an old man, and she also knows that the queen puts all her trust in these koi.

When this happened last time, the queen was furious, and this time it was even more serious.

Liu Qiqi just woke up and heard that the prince did not come back last night, so she was worried for the prince.

What she didn't expect was that there was news from Jin Palace that Ming Sixuan and Dong Huaizhu had a conflict last night. Dong Huaizhu accidentally killed Ming Sixuan. Dong Huaizhu was afraid and committed suicide by jumping into a well.

Hearing the news, Liu Qiqi asked Zhou Yan and Yu Dai to go back to Prince Jin's Mansion to see the situation.

Liu Qiqi was very upset.

There were ten concubines who entered the Jin Palace together, and now six are dead.

In someone else's place, it's nothing to die as a concubine, Liu Qiqi was a little shocked to hear that.

She didn't have much contact with King Jin's concubines, and she had a mentality of competing for favor, thinking about how to live comfortably all day long. Now that so many people died, it was not good for the prince.

Liu Qiqi thought for a while, and decided to go and see for herself.

Leaving the palace, he rushed to Jinwangfu.

Walking halfway, she saw many officers and soldiers surrounding the Hutongkou restaurant, and Liu Qiqi saw Ma Tutou leading people in.

The body buried in the backyard of the restaurant was known through the comments of the surrounding people.

Liu Qiqi heard from the system that shopkeeper Ma broke their good business on the spot. On the surface, shopkeeper Ma felt ashamed and didn't want to make a big deal out of it. He drugged Mrs. Wang and the child that night and killed the chef. Run away by yourself.

In fact, the chef was killed by the shopkeeper Ma, and his body was buried in the backyard of the restaurant.

After all this time, who discovered it?

Back at Prince Jin's Mansion, facing the messy things, Liu Qiqi didn't have the mind to pay attention to other things.

Seeing the arrival of the princess, Yu Dai was about to explain the situation when a carriage galloped by.

The speed is too fast for people to see clearly.

Before the carriage stopped, a lady got out of the carriage crying.

Yu Dai said, "Crown Princess, she is Dong Huaizhu's biological mother, Mrs. Dong."

Liu Qiqi knew that Dong Huaizhu was the eldest daughter of Dong Yuyi.

The white-haired man gave off the black-haired man, feeling sad.

Seeing Madam Dong who was walking unsteadily, Liu Qiqi felt a little sad.

Madam Dong came to the door and looked at Liu Qiqi full of resentment, "Crown Princess, are you satisfied this time?"

Full of hostility, even the blind can see it.

Seeing others slandering the princess so much, Chunbi wanted to speak, but Liu Qiqi stopped her.

Liu Qiqi didn't do anything. In the eyes of others, she was too jealous to prevent these concubines from entering the East Palace, which led to the current tragedy.

Thinking of this, Liu Qiqi felt wronged, but also not wronged.

She watched Mrs. Dong staggering towards her dead daughter, and she was also a little moved.

Butler Hu wanted to stop him, but Liu Qiqi signaled him to back away quietly.
Soon, Mrs. Dong was kneeling on the ground, crying loudly at her daughter's body.

Liu Qiqi's eyes were red, she turned to look at Yu Dai, "What's going on with them?"

Yu Dai said, "The servant has already inquired about the incident. It was Ming Sixuan and Dong Huaizhu who had a dispute and died by mistake. Dong Huaizhu saw that he had killed himself, so he committed suicide in fear."

"You fart!" Mrs. Dong roared hysterically. You got up from the ground and rushed towards Yudai, but was stopped by Yang Biyun who just arrived.

When Liu Qiqi saw Yang Biyun, Yu Dai said that this person was extremely rich, and what happened to Gu Ling was also related to Yang Biyun. What does it mean that she came at this time?
Yang Biyun stopped Mrs. Dong, and was slapped by the excited Mrs. Dong. Yang Biyun was not angry and comforted Mrs. Dong, "Mrs. Dong, I know you are sad, but this matter has nothing to do with the princess. When something happened last night , the Crown Princess is not in the Jin Palace."

It's okay if you don't say this, but if you say it, it completely ignites Mrs. Dong's madness.

"Princess Concubine, you are so intolerable. If you really are not a little girl, you can tell your wife, and your wife will take your daughter home. Why should you lose your life here?"

"Mrs. Dong, don't be rude to the princess!" said Butler Hu.

"Am I wrong? If the Crown Princess is a magnanimous person and let my daughter enter the palace, will she die?" Mrs. Dong is really crazy. Whoever speaks, she will go back to whoever speaks.

Housekeeper Hu was also angry, "Mrs. Dong, this is Prince Jin's Mansion, the former residence of the Crown Prince. You are a mere wife who is a second-rank imperial doctor, and you are yelling at the Crown Princess. How can you be polite?"

Madam Dong burst into tears when she heard this.

"What happened last night, the Crown Princess was not present, even if she was present, Dong Xiaozhu killed Ming Xiaozhu, and all the maids present saw it. Ming Xiaozhu is the second daughter of Lanzhou Zhizhou. Mrs. Dong should report this matter to Lanzhou Zhizhou Lord An explanation." Having said this, Steward Hu disassociated himself from Prince Jin's Mansion, and pushed the problem to Mrs. Dong.

Mrs. Dong was dumbfounded when she heard this.

She came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime, so how could she be bitten back.

I couldn't accept it for a while, and almost fainted from anger.

When things got worse, Doctor Dong arrived.

Doctor Dong is much more sensible. He showed the attitude of a courtier to the princess, and explained politely to Mrs. Dong's disrespect, and waited for Mrs. Dong to be taken away.

Liu Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief.

If this incident happened in someone else's house, it can be handed over to the people in the yamen to handle it. It is related to the crown prince, Dong Yuyi and the magistrate of Lanzhou. This matter must be handled carefully.

Just when Liu Qiqi wanted some department to participate, Sun Shuo waited for the people from Dali Temple to arrive.
