Chapter 309 The Corpse Under the Window (13)
Even though the Queen said so, Xiao Jun also understood that what Concubine Shu said before was also reasonable, if someone sincerely harmed him, it would be impossible to guard against, and he could hide from the first day of the new year but not the fifteenth, so he did not blame this on Concubine Shu Inadequate care.

"Tell Qiulu and Linshuang!"

The little eunuch at the door hurriedly conveyed the emperor's will loudly, and Shaoqing Qiulu and Linshuang walked in one after the other, both of them had probably cried, their eyes were red and swollen, and when they learned of Li Meiren's accident At that moment, they knew that they had no way out, the two trembled with fear, and Qiu Lu could only choke up and cry non-stop.

The emperor asked: "Where has Li Meiren been since leaving Shu Concubine's Luoying Hall?"

Linshuang knew that something happened to her master, and the emperor would definitely ask about what happened yesterday, and she had already thought it through clearly. Although she was afraid, she could still speak clearly, "If you go back to the emperor, the slaves and Qiulu followed the master from yesterday. The concubine concubine came out of the palace. Because of the hot weather, the servants were afraid that the young master would suffer from the heat of the sun, so they let the young master enjoy the cool under the shade of the tree in the imperial garden. The servants went back to get the umbrella by themselves, but when they came back, the young lady The Lord and Qiulu don't know where they went."

Xiao Jun turned to ask Qiu Lu, "Linshuang went back to get the umbrella, didn't you still accompany Li Meiren? What did you do after that?"

Qiu Lu wiped the tears from her face, and replied in a twitching way: "If you go back to the emperor, because of the hot weather and the fact that my lord is often irritable during pregnancy, my lord always wants to go out to relax. When the young master was enjoying the shade in the imperial garden, he heard the passing maid said that there were many brocade scales added to the Yingyue Pond, so the young master wanted to see it. The slaves followed the young master to the side of the Yingyue Pond. On the way, the young master said that she was thirsty. , let the servants go to the nearby Concubine He Gui’s Palace to ask for a cup of tea, and the servants asked the young master to wait in the gazebo, but after returning, Xiaozhu disappeared.”

The queen asked sharply: "Since the person is missing, why didn't you hurry up and report to the palace? If you had come and explained the matter clearly at that time, maybe Li Meiren would not have been killed by someone. Li Meiren was murdered!"

Qiulu was frightened by the queen's words and cried loudly. She looked up at the queen in horror and helplessness, then knelt down and sat on the ground, whimpering and saying: "At that time, the weather changed suddenly, and this servant thought that the young master went to Yingyue Pond by himself. I hurriedly went to look for it, but I couldn’t find anyone. After a while, it started to rain heavily. The servant girl and Linshuang braved the rain to search for a long time in the imperial garden, but there was still no one. Thinking that the little master might I went to some palace to shelter from the rain, and I wanted to wait until the rain stopped, but who knew that the rain was getting heavier and heavier until dusk. But I can't find it anywhere."

Qiulu was already sobbing, and Linshuang saw that she was getting more and more unclear, so she continued, "The rain hadn't stopped at that time, and the servants thought that when the rain stopped, maybe the little master would come back, but they waited until it was dark, or waited until it was dark." Before the young master came back, the servants ran to Duanfu Palace to tell the empress, but the gate of Duanfu Palace was closed, and no one paid any attention to the knocking of the servants. In desperation, the servants had to go to Xinxin, But the concubine was not in his own palace, so the servant had no idea and went to ask the emperor, but Eunuch Zhang said that Feng Wanrong was serving the bed last night, and the emperor had already rested, so the servant had no choice but to come back and wait. But who knows One waited for a whole night, and in the morning, the maidservant was about to ask to see the empress when she heard that the young master had been killed."

Concubine Shu listened to it from the side, and hurriedly asked, "Then why didn't you tell Ben Gong?"
