Qing Palace - Biography of Concubine Wan

Chapter 140 Secrets (2)

As soon as Li Quan heard something interesting, he cheered up and said, "Then where is this paper now?"

"It's in my arms, but when the master gave it to me, it was a few blank pieces of paper with no words on them!" The few pieces of paper she was talking about were the ones in Rixi's hand now, as she said, they were blank papers, but Rixi How can you believe it, Shui Yin asked her to send a blank paper to Qingru before she died, even if it was another brainless person, she would not believe it.

Rixi's brows were on the verge of getting angry, and she finally swallowed it. Although Zhilan was telling the truth, it was clear to Rixi that she was lying to fool her. Thinking of her winking at Li Quan, she signaled him to be ruthless. Hit her hard until she tells the truth.

Under Rixi's instruction, Li Quan ruthlessly waved his whip to greet Zhilan. She had nowhere to hide and was so miserable that even Lan Xiang couldn't bear to see her, but she didn't dare to persuade the master. If it gets hot, will she also smoke for a while?

The screams of slapping Zhilan gradually subsided. Li Quan heard something was wrong, so he quickly took away his whip and went to check, but at this time Zhilan had already collapsed on the ground, breathing less and exhaling more.

Although Rixi complained that Li Quan shouldn't have hit her too hard and beat her to death, but when she heard that Zhilan just talked about those few pieces of paper over and over again, she was very annoyed, thinking that Zhilan would not die even if she seemed to die. Speak up.

Rixi stood up and walked a few steps, then took a look at Zhilan's half-dead look, and decided to settle her, so that even if Shuiyin really wanted her to bring something or something For Qingru, she couldn't have brought it. Has anyone ever spoken to a dead man?

Thinking of this, Shuiyin laughed again, and she beckoned to tell Li Quan what she meant, and then handed him the things she had found from Zhilan's body, and asked him to put them back, so as not to be suspicious, and waited for Li Quan one by one. After agreeing, Rixi led Zhao He and Lan Xiang away, leaving Li Quan alone to deal with Zhilan inside.

Li Quan didn't look for anything else, and directly crossed Zhilan's neck with a belt from behind, and then exerted force, Zhilan's head tilted to the side after a while, and she could no longer speak.

Because I deliberately avoided it just now, there is no wound on Zhilan's face at all. As long as I change into clean clothes, there is no scar at all from the outside. Hang her up in the Changchun Palace in good clothes, no one can tell that she was killed, others will only think that she is reluctant to part with her master and voluntarily buried, and the death of a palace maid is not as complicated as the master's. Just bury her in a thin coffin or wrap a mat, so no one will go to see her body.

After Li Quan sneaked into the Changchun Palace and hung Zhilan on the beam where Shuiyin hanged himself without anyone noticing, it was almost dawn.

When Zhilan's body was discovered, it caused a little commotion, but because Shui Yin had already committed suicide before, everyone thought she committed suicide by martyrdom, so they didn't pursue it any further. Put it on Shuiyin's mourning hall, only to be buried with Shuiyin.

Early in the morning, Qingru asked someone to carry her to the Changchun Palace. She wanted to take a few more glances at Shuiyin before she was buried. She would never have the chance to see her again. As soon as she entered the door, she saw an extra corpse inside. After questioning, I found out that it was Zhilan who died in Shuiyin, Qingru shook her head, never thought that Zhilan was such a temperamental person, she voluntarily died in the burial, but she added an extra life for no reason, sister Yin would not know if she knew it in heaven happy.

Qingru's body at this moment is weaker than ever before, but she still refuses to be supported by others, and tremblingly walks to the mourning hall by herself, where a few low-ranking concubines are guarding the coffin. Lai hurriedly got up to pay respects and saw them, Qingru glanced at them and slowly looked around, Fulin realized what he had said, everything was really done with the courtesy of a noble concubine, surpassing Shuiyin's A large part of the specification, but all of these are illusory to her, if she can choose, she would rather not have anything, as long as Shuiyin can come back to life, can open her eyes, don't close them like this again.

Eyebrows lowered, tears were about to fall again, her heart was gouged out, how could she not cry, Qingru didn't dare to look any further, she turned her eyes away, but just happened to see the lifeless Zhilan, In fact, Zhilan doesn't need to die at all, Qingru sighed in her heart and was about to look away, but found something wrong, the more she looked at it, the more strange she felt, so she couldn't help but walked over, squatted in front of Zhilan, and carefully looked at her neck , there seems to be something wrong with this strangle mark, it is not the same as what she saw on Shuiyin's neck.

Could it be that I remembered it wrong?Or is there something quirky about it?In order to verify her guess, Qing Ru asked someone to remove Shui Yin's coffin lid. Fortunately, the coffin lid hadn't been nailed up yet, otherwise it would be difficult to remove.After the coffin lid was removed, Qingru could clearly see a black-purple strangle mark across Shui Yin's neck. Although it was extremely deep, there was only one. Looking at Zhilan, there were two marks on her neck. One is deep and the other is shallow, and they don't seem to be caused by the same kind of rope, could it be...

A flash of inspiration flashed in Qingru's mind, she squatted down and carefully observed Zhilan's neck marks, but she found nothing other than what she saw before, but found a scar under her neck that was covered by her clothes. If she hadn't looked carefully, she wouldn't have noticed the bloodstains.

There are bloodstains here?And it looks like it's a new addition, how could it be, as far as she knows, Sister Yin never beats slaves, Qingru frowned, could it be that Zhilan just picked it up by herself?

But she quickly denied this idea, because she found several bloodstains on Zhilan's arms and calves covered by clothes, which were obviously drawn out by a whip, and the width of this whip was the same as that on her neck. The deeper traces are exactly the same, could it be... the aura that flashed just now appeared more clearly in her mind: Could it be that Zhilan didn't commit suicide at all, but homicide!

Qingru was shocked by this discovery in her heart, but on the surface she still pretended to be calm. Since her body blocked the movement of her hands, no one saw her lift Zhilan's clothes to take a look. She was so sad that she was in a daze.

Qingru's thoughts turned, and she kept thinking about the cause of Zhilan's death. It was obviously a homicide, and she was tortured before she died. Zhilan was just a little court lady. Why would someone persecute her and kill her in the end? , could it be that she knows some secret?If there is a secret, then it is obvious that the secret is most likely about Shuiyin. Does Zhilan know the real cause of Shuiyin's death?

Seeing that Qingru had been squatting for a long time without getting up, Zijin was afraid that her body would be overwhelmed, so she walked over and squatted beside her and whispered: "Miss, you just..." Just about to say that she just gave birth, squatting like this Not good, but then I realized that I shouldn't mention Miss's sad things at this time, so I quickly changed the words: "Miss, stop squatting, it's not good for your health!"

Qingru didn't say a word, didn't even glance at Zijin, still staring at the frightening corpse, Zijin's heart was chilled by the young lady's appearance, Miss Xindao couldn't be mentally disturbed because of being too sad right?Otherwise, why keep staring at the corpse, but what puzzled her even more was yet to come. After watching for a while, Qingru made a move. She reached out and groped Zhilan's body, and finally took out the Some things were lost, exactly those that were put back by Rixi.

There are a lot of blank papers, silver and other things. For the silver and other things, Qingru put them down after a glance. Instead, she looked at those few blank papers for a long time, wondering why Lan wanted to put them down. There are several blank papers in my arms, is there another article in them?Regardless of whether it is useful or not, put it away first, thinking of this, she ignored Zijin's strange gaze, and put the white paper into her bosom.

Although Zi Jin was puzzled, but out of trust in the young lady, she didn't say a word.

After doing all this, Qingru stood up with her numb legs, glanced at Zijin, and said calmly, "Let's go!"

Soon they returned to the Palace of Yanxi Palace, Qingru took out those white papers from her pocket and spread them on the table, trying to find out some mystery from them, but after looking at these papers for a long time at that time, she didn't find anything. The waste paper that he deemed useless was placed on Zhilan's body.

Mianyi and the others were very worried about Qingru's behavior of locking herself in the room as soon as she came back. They were afraid that she would not think about it, and asked what happened to Zijin who went to worship Shuiyin with her, but Zijin was also at a loss. Strange, but can't tell why.

In the end, the older Xiangyuan said: "It's not a solution for you to guess like this. The master hasn't eaten anything since yesterday, and his body is... how can it be eaten if this continues. You go to the kitchen to prepare some porridge and side dishes. , I will send it in later, no matter what, I have to persuade the master to eat some!"

After hearing this, several other people nodded, and Mianyi volunteered: "Then I'll go to the kitchen to prepare!" Fortunately, due to the relationship between Qingru's pregnancy a while ago, Fulin set up a small restaurant in the Palace of Yanxi Palace. The kitchen, so it is much more convenient to get something to eat than to go to the imperial dining room.

Xiangyuan called out Mianyi who turned around and was about to leave: "Also, make another pot of Baihua tea, remember to use dew to make it, do you know where the jar of dew is kept?"

Mian Yi nodded and said, "Don't worry, aunt, I know, I'll prepare now."

When everything was ready and Xiangyuan went in, Qingru was still staring at a few pieces of paper in a daze. She had faintly felt that the deaths of Shuiyin and Zhilan were not easy, and there must be something hidden behind the superficial appearance Unknown, but what is it?No matter how much she thought about it, her headache was about to split, but she couldn't find any traces.

Xiangyuan lightly put the things on the table, then picked up the teacup and made a cup of Baihua tea and brought it to Qingru's hand and said: "Master, have a cup of tea and eat something, you haven't eaten for more than a day .”

Qingru waved her hand irritably: "I'm not hungry, and I don't want to eat, so take it away, don't come in and bother me!"

How could anyone not be hungry without eating for such a long time, even though he knew that the master didn't want to listen to Xiangyuan, he continued to persuade: "Master, this servant knows that you feel uncomfortable, but you should eat something anyway, otherwise people will not be able to bear it!"
