Looking for another good match, Hou Menjiaojiao turns around and marries a villain

Yu Ning first raised her head and looked around, then said cautiously, "There is something dirty in the palace."

"Dirty stuff?" Xie Chunchao didn't react for a moment, "Then just wipe it off."

"Hey." Yu Ning sighed, "It's not that kind of dirty thing."

"It's a ghost."

After Yu Ning finished speaking, she looked around nervously as if she was afraid of provoking something.

Xie Chunchao couldn't help but laugh, "What are you talking about? How could there be such a thing in the palace? Besides..."

Xie Chunchao didn't finish the rest of her words. She had never believed in ghosts and gods before, but since she knew she was reborn, she wasn't so sure anymore.

"Princess, I'm not talking nonsense." Yu Ning was so afraid that she hugged Xie Chunchao's arm, "I just asked the palace attendants in Fengyi Palace. At first they just fooled me and said it was nothing important. Then I followed quietly and saw with my own eyes I saw someone dead in the palace!"

"I heard people in the palace talking. They said that the empress who died unjustly in the palace came to take revenge. Three people have died, but there are still no clues found."

Xie Chunchao was shocked. There was such a big thing in the palace, but there were no rumors outside. This shows the queen's ability to manage the harem.

"Do you know which empress in the palace died unjustly?"

Yu Ning shook her head, "They didn't say, they didn't dare to mention that person's name."

The night outside the small window was as dark as ink, the chaotic footsteps gradually became quiet, and only a few cat meows could be heard occasionally.

Unjust deaths, haunted, three dead.

Xie Chunchao's lips suddenly raised. She was originally worried that their family would learn from the unknown, but wasn't this a ready-made excuse?

Such evil things happened in the palace, which was very unlucky for the superstitious and blindly obedient people.

She could spread rumors, saying that the monarch is unvirtuous and will be punished by heaven. If the throne remains unchanged, disaster will come.

It's just...Xie Chunchao always felt that this matter was not that simple.

"Yu Ning, go and inquire tomorrow and ask who in this palace was wrongfully killed."

Although Yu Ning was scared, she did not respond to what Xie Chunchao ordered.

After a good night's sleep, Xie Chunchao got up early the next day and went to pay his respects to the queen.

She looked at the bruises under the Queen's eyes and asked calmly, "I seemed to hear something strange outside last night, but what happened?"

Queen: "It has been dry recently. A palace in the southwest corner of the harem accidentally leaked water last night. We have taken care of it."

"How could a good person get away with something?" Xie Chunchao covered his lips and said in shock, "It must be those uterine people who neglected their duties, causing the harem to catch fire."

The queen smiled and said, "Fortunately, there was no big trouble."

Xie Chunchao wanted to find out what happened in the harem, but she couldn't directly say that she wanted to stay, so she asked tentatively,

"Mother, I will go back after breakfast today."

"Why are you leaving in such a hurry?" the queen asked, "My Liyang is gone, why don't you even want to stay in the palace to accompany me?"

What Xie Chunchao was waiting for was the queen's persuasion to stay. Every time she entered the palace and left, the queen would persuade her to stay.

She was glad that she had not refused every time before, so her agreement this time seemed less abrupt.

"Then... Chaochao will bother you for a few more days."

"Whatever you say, if you stay here, I will be happy to see you."

After Xie Chunchao had breakfast with the queen, she excused herself to go back to her room to change clothes. As soon as she walked in, Yu Ning came forward excitedly and whispered,

"Princess, I have heard about it."

"I heard that the person who died was a concubine."

Xie Chunchao didn't have much memory of his concubine. She was not from a noble background, so she was not very important in the harem where people worshiped those who worshiped those who were superior and those who were inferior to others. Even if she gave birth to a prince, she was still a dispensable existence in the harem.

Xie Chunchao remembered that every time she saw the concubine, she would always stand silently in the corner. Compared with the kind queen, the flamboyant concubine, and the smart concubine, she really had no bright spots. Her whole person was just like her face. Nothing good to say.

If it weren't for something haunting, even if a hundred more women like her died, they would just die quietly, as if they had never happened.

"Did concubine Rou die unjustly?"

Yu Ning whispered, "I heard that the concubine died very strangely. She was reported to have died suddenly. Has anyone ever seen her covered in red marks, as if there were signs of rape..."

"Rape?!" Xie Chunchao was shocked, "Did the emperor do it?"

"The strange thing is here." Yu Ning said, "The concubine has been out of favor for a long time! The emperor has never summoned her, so how could he... do such things to the concubine?"

Xie Chunchao was dumbfounded, "Is the news accurate?"

Yu Ning nodded affirmatively, "It's absolutely accurate. I spent a bag of golden beans to ask the eunuch who moved the corpse."

Xie Chunchao frowned and kept tapping the mahogany table with his index finger, "Who are the people who have died so far?"

A disgraced concubine was raped before she died suddenly...

There were not many men in the palace, and there were only a few who could come into contact with the concubines.

Except for eunuchs who are not men, they are guards...or...

Prince.

So who is it?

Xie Chunchao first excluded the eunuchs. Although the eunuchs of this dynasty had certain rights, they were not arrogant enough to dare to rape the emperor's concubines. This was simply unheard of!

Not to mention what would happen if the emperor knew about it, even the queen would easily execute him.

and many more……

Queen? !

She licked her lips and asked, "Yu Ning, did Roubi live in the southwest corner before?"

Yu Ning thought for a while, nodded and said: "It's in the southwest corner."

She knew who the murderer was.

This is the queen's harem.

Someone seemed to flash past the window, but when Xie Chunchao chased after him to look, there was nothing there.

Yu Ning saw that Xie Chunchao had been staring in the direction of the window and quickly turned around to look, but when she turned around she saw nothing. She broke out in a cold sweat and asked with a crying face, "Princess, what are you looking at?"

"Don't be afraid." Xie Chunchao said, "It's not a ghost."

But much scarier than ghosts.

"Yu Ning, help me deliver the sealed letter." Xie Chunchao whispered in Yu Ning's ear. Yu Ning suddenly opened her eyes wide and asked tremblingly, "County... Princess, this... is this true?" Of?"

Xie Chunchao nodded lightly, "Well, go quickly."

Not long after Yu Ning left, the queen sent someone to call her again.

She straightened her skirt and went to see the queen as usual.

She entered the palace, and the queen looked at her without leaving a trace, and then smiled kindly as usual and said, "Sit down quickly and play chess with me."

"Okay." Xie Chunchao agreed with a smile, sitting in front of the queen, holding a white piece in his hand.

At the end of the game, Xie Chunchao asked, "Your Majesty, is my husband still in the palace?"

"Yes." The queen responded and said leisurely, "Your husband is still in the palace waiting for you to go back together."
