Pick up a princess

Chapter 199 True and False (22)

However, many things are out of control.

Originally, Shen Qing was still lamenting that no matter who wanted to plot against her, it was a good thing that the blood stained on her was not human blood, and no palace maid died in vain because of her, but when she got up early the next morning, the normally peaceful palace was a little abnormally lively.

"Cai'er, what's going on outside?" Shen Qing got up early to think about what she should say to Emperor Ming, feeling that the winter morning was a bit early for the excitement.

Cai'er shook her head, and was about to answer when a young eunuch from the Prince's Hall called "Bao Inquiry" hurried into the inner hall and said in a panic, "Prince Princess, it's not good..."

"What happened?"

"The guards patrolled this morning and found a palace lady dead. The death was extremely tragic. It is said that her brains came out... It seemed that she was hit on the head by a stone..." the little eunuch said out of breath, and described the palace lady's life. The appearance of death inevitably appeared terrified.

Shen Qing and Cai'er gasped, no wonder the palace was in chaos, I'm afraid the emperor already knew about it... The problem is that the palace lady's death was so strange and sudden, could it have something to do with what happened last night?

"Didn't you say that the blood that designed to frame me last night was chicken blood?" Shen Qing bit her lower lip and muttered to herself.

"If it's not a coincidence, then the maid brought back by the Crown Princess last night must have not told the truth!" Cai'er said calmly, without losing her sense of control, she turned to "Bao inquiring" and asked, "Do you know who the dead maid is?" People? Where was the body found?"

"It is said that she used to serve in Concubine Min's palace, but she made a mistake and was relegated to the Clothes Bureau. She was withdrawn and had no friends in the palace, so she disappeared and was not found by other palace maids... The body was not far from the Imperial Garden. It was found behind the rockery there, and I don’t know if it has been moved!”

Concubine Min again!

"Cai'er, go and interrogate the court lady from last night to see if she is still hiding something!" Shen Qing made a decision in her heart, ordered calmly, and ordered "Bao Inquiry" to find out what happened to Emperor Ming and other concubines and princes. Temporarily dispel the idea of ​​seeing Emperor Ming.

No matter how the situation develops, the only safe thing at present is to stay the same and respond to all changes!

Shen Qing was sitting in the Prince's Palace waiting for everyone's news, and listening to Cai'er who had returned in a hurry to report the interrogation, she knew that the little maid didn't know about everything, even Concubine Min, she didn't know.

And the news brought back by "Bao inquiring" was that Emperor Ming was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of the case. As for the other concubines and princes, they remained silent and extremely cautious, fearing that they might accidentally cause trouble!
"Who is in charge of the investigation?"

"Back to the princess, it is the commander Huo Da—" It is Huo Fei, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army...

Shen Qing still remembered that she proposed the position of Chief of the Imperial Forest Army to Emperor Ming!It's just that the death of a court lady will be investigated by the chief of the Imperial Forest Army. If Emperor Ming did this, there must be a mystery in the middle!
