royal princess

Chapter 219 Dou Fangyi Dies 2
When Xiao Qi came in, he saw this scene, saw his son smiling happily and clapping his hands, and then looked at his son with a complex and moved expression.Seeing him coming in, she couldn't wait to say: "Your son is too bad. I don't let him grab the box. I'm afraid that he will lose face when he grabs Zhou. So I taught him not to take these things. Look, he stuffed them all in my arms." How can I train him?"

Xiao Qi understood what had happened, and smiled helplessly at Si Jin, "Yes, I let you grab it. I guess he thought you wanted these, so fortunately he gave them to you. Why is my son so attractive? Just like his father, he knows how to please you by sending good things."

Is it really good to light up the skills of picking up girls at such a young age?
Si Jin hugged a pile of rouge boxes, and could only laugh or cry, seeing her son's big, flickering eyes, and felt that she was really blissful.

Xiao Qi hugged his son and lifted it a few times, and the two father and son began to play the game of lifting high that they never tire of.Si Jin put away these boxes one by one, and she wanted to use them slowly, they were all given to her by her son!
When Aunt Jiang came in in a hurry, she heard laughter from all over the room, she stamped her feet, walked in anyway, bowed her knees and saluted, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, empress, the Tong aunt next to the empress is here."

"Please come in quickly." Si Jin said hastily, Aunt Tong must be in a hurry to come here at this time, otherwise she would never send someone here at this time with the queen's temper.

Standing up to carry her son back from Xiao Qi's arms, Si Jin didn't want to be seen holding her son by Xiao Qi, after all, she was not holding a grandson here, so she had better be careful, lest she be accused of not being strict with her son.

Aunt Tong quickly came in, and after curtseying, she said without a word of nonsense, "Your Majesty, empress, Dou Fangyi is dead."

Si Jin froze for a moment, the hands holding her son tightened, the little guy twisted uncomfortably, Si Jin quickly let go, and looked at Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi seemed to be trying to figure out who Dou Fangyi was, and Si Jin reminded him that he was the one who was injured with her back then.

Xiao Qi thought about it, looked at Aunt Tong and asked directly: "Why not?"

"He died by drowning in the well. The empress has already had people seal off the scene, and specially asked the servants to invite the emperor to preside over the overall situation."

Si Jin only felt her eyes flashing, and her feet were a little unsteady. Xiao Qi supported her, reached out to take her son over and handed it to Aunt Jiang to take him down, and then said: "What's going on, let's talk about it carefully."

The death of Dou Fangyi made the originally peaceful harem suddenly become a little weird. This is like a signal, a signal that breaks the weird balance in front of you.It was as if the emperor would come out of the Heyi Hall as soon as this incident happened.

When Si Jin and Xiao Qi arrived at Ningcui Pavilion together, Dou Fangyi's body had already been fished up. Because it was discovered earlier, there was no swelling or other phenomena, but the pale color still made everyone on the scene feel a little uncomfortable. sign of comfort.

Almost everyone who could be here showed up. Si Jin looked at Dou Fangyi who was no longer breathing. In fact, her impression of her was more of the people who always looked at her with timid smiles.

This is a very timid girl with a good temper. In this harem, she knows that she is not the best, and she is willing to stay silent in the corner.Si Jin didn't particularly like her, but she didn't dislike her either, but such a person is lying here now.

lost breath.

"My Majesty, judging from the examination results of the corpse, it took less than an hour for Dou Fangyi to fall into the water and be picked up. There were no signs of sharp weapon damage on her body, nor any scars. It is preliminarily inferred that she was pushed into the well because she was unable to defend herself. .” The coroner of the inner court stepped forward and replied.

Si Jin glanced at him, and the man confirmed the murder as soon as he opened his mouth.

"You mean, Dou Fangyi was murdered, not committed suicide?" Xiao Qi's flat expression and weak voice made it unclear what the young emperor was thinking.

The coroner lowered his head, then nodded slightly, "Yes." After a pause, he continued: "The clothes worn by the corpse were found to be torn in several places, which should be caused by hooking when being pushed down the well. If it is a suicide act, given the width of the wellhead, there is very little sign of this possibility. This phenomenon will only occur when a person is attacked by someone when he is unable to prevent it, and the person is unable to stand stably."

"Empress." Xiao Qi didn't turn his head, his eyes moved away from Dou Fangyi's body, and he spoke slowly.

The empress sighed secretly about the bad luck, but she still took a quick step forward, and said to the emperor: "The concubine will find out about this matter, Dou Fangyi is usually kind to others, and she has never heard of any evil with anyone in the palace, and she I have always had a good relationship with Qi Ronghua, maybe I should ask her, maybe I will find something."

The noble concubine glanced at the queen at this time, and interjected: "Your Majesty, shouldn't the people from the Ningcui Pavilion be arrested and interrogated first?"

The queen met the eyes of the noble concubine, and said without thinking: "Even if the concubine's words are reasonable, the people in the Ningcui Pavilion want to ask, but there is no conclusive evidence to arrest everyone, isn't it a big deal? Even if something like this happens in the palace, everyone shouldn't be in danger and suspect wildly. If so, it's ridiculous to be so impatient when something happens."

"It turns out that in the eyes of the empress, a human life is just a trivial matter." The imperial concubine's tone was long, with a certain indescribable charm, which made people daydream.

After listening to the concubine's words, Si Jin still wanted to provoke her at this moment, but couldn't help feeling angry, she glanced at the concubine, and suddenly sneered, "It turns out that the concubine is so fancy about a life, so Changle Palace wants to come from here." No one has died."

The concubine's smile condensed on her face, she couldn't believe her ears.

Not to mention the noble concubine, no one here would have thought that Concubine Xi, who was always quiet about matters in the palace, would actually speak at this time, and even the queen turned her eyes away to look at Concubine Xi.Then, he raised his head to look at the emperor, and saw a bit of astonishment flashing in the emperor's eyes, but it disappeared quickly, which shows that the emperor was also a little surprised by Concubine Xi's opening.

Si Jin just couldn't help seeing how the noble concubine would take the lifeless person at such a time and use this opportunity to plot something for herself.A person like Dou Fangyi, a person who has almost no sense of existence in the palace, why should his life be taken away?

Si Jin always felt that this matter had something to do with her. Specifically, the only thing Dou Fangyi got close to was going to the Yihexuan with Qi Ronghua a few times.

If it was really because of herself, she didn't know how she should face this matter.That's why the imperial concubine's words made her angry.

Si Jin's hands were tightly held together, and the loose palace attire concealed her nervousness.Dou Fangyi lay quietly on the ground, she had never faced the death of a concubine like this, her face was pale and cold with blue.

In this eerie silence, Qi Ronghua stumbled in and ran in. He didn't seem to notice that there were so many people in the room, and fell to the ground all at once.Not long ago, Dou Fangyi was still talking to her, but now all she saw was a cold corpse.

Qi Ronghua's sobs hit Si Jin's heart, and only she knew that in this palace, Dou Fangyi was the concubine with whom she had the best relationship.Now that Dou Fangyi is dead, Qi Ronghua will inevitably feel sad when the rabbit dies.

Qi Ronghua's sadness made everyone present feel depressed.Si Jin stepped forward, squatted down, and looked at her, "What we have to do now is not to be sad, but to find the murderer."

Qi Ronghua glanced at Si Jin when he heard the words, nodded his head almost imperceptibly, and then said: "With Dou Fangyi's temper, I really can't imagine who would secretly murder her. She has never offended anyone. An hour ago, I was still talking with my concubine, who knows... I know that in the blink of an eye, it will be a farewell. If I know that something will happen to her, I will keep her for a while when she leaves..."

"You mean, Dou Fangyi was with you before this?" The Queen looked at Qi Ronghua and asked.

Qi Ronghua nodded, "It's almost the eldest prince's birthday, and Dou Fangyi is here to discuss with my concubine what small gift would be better. Because my concubine and Dou Fangyi have visited the eldest prince at Yihexuan several times before, and Dou Fangyi likes the eldest prince very much. .”

Si Jin's eyes turned red when she heard this, and she glanced sideways at the queen, "The eldest prince also likes Dou Fangyi very much, every time he sees her, he smiles very happily." It's just that since moving to Heyi Hall, visiting It was inconvenient, and we never saw each other again.Dou Fangyi thought about preparing a birthday gift for the eldest prince, and Si Jin felt even more uncomfortable.

"Then, when Dou Fangyi was with you, was there anything unusual?" The queen glanced at the emperor, and then asked Qi Ronghua. ,

Qi Ronghua thought about it carefully, then shook his head, "Dou Fangyi never said anything, it's just as usual." Having said this, he looked at the Queen and said, "But before I leave today, Dou Fangyi seems to have something to say , but hesitated for a while and still didn't speak. The concubine didn't ask the question at the time, but now...now that I think about it, I would have asked."

The queen asked and answered Qi Ronghua, and Si Jin stood up and returned to Xiao Qi's side. Hearing Qi Ronghua's words, doubts inevitably arose in her heart. According to Qi Ronghua, Dou Fangyi couldn't tell if she had discovered something.

Either no one dared to say it, or there was no evidence.

No matter what it was, Si Jin felt that this matter was really strange.

Si Jin's mood was very low, Xiao Qi glanced at her, there were not many people she liked to get along with in this palace.Qi Ronghua is one, and Dou Fangyi is also one. Now that Dou Fangyi is dead, she must be very sad.
