The things in the palace are always very delicate, even a red bean cake, which looks ordinary, has been put into great effort.The offerings in the palace are the best, and the people in the imperial dining room even picked and picked to ensure that every red bean is plump and smooth, and even the sugar is sifted and sifted.

Lan Qingqing always liked dim sum made of red beans and mung beans, and she was completely conquered after just one bite. It was sweet, fragrant and soft, and it was simply delicious in the world.Well, how could there be such a delicious pastry? If it wasn't in the palace, she would have secretly kept it for Big Brother Zhan to eat, really yell!

This was specially prepared for Lan Qingqing, and Pang Yuqin was also happy to see that she liked it so much.It's just that the shrill screams outside the palace ruined the scene in front of her, making her frown slightly. Which palace person is so unruly?

But Lan Qingqing immediately stood up and walked out, not forgetting to stuff the last piece of red bean cake left in the plate into her mouth.She didn't taste it as carefully as before, but resolved it quickly, and she still had to protect the face of the eldest sister a little bit.

"What happened?" Lan Qingqing arrived at the source of the voice in a few steps, there was a flower bed, a court lady fell on the ground, her face was pale, her eyes full of fear.

"Master Lanlan" the palace maid obviously knew Lan Qingqing, she turned over and knelt on the ground hastily, and calmed down, "The maidservant didn't intend to disturb the Lord, it's really" she subconsciously looked at the flower bed.

Lan Qingqing took two steps forward, and then she saw the scene in the flower bed clearly.There were still some things falling on the ground. It seemed that the court lady must have seen something when she was watering the flowers and weeding.She took a closer look and found that there were a few fingers resting on the bare soil surface, with an abnormal color.

How can there be this here?Lan Qingqing frowned. Seeing that Pang Yuqin and the others had also come out, she subconsciously blocked them, "Sister, someone has to clean it up."

"I know." Pang Yuqin also raised Concubine Pang's aura this time, her eyes narrowed slightly, covering the sharp light inside.She likes beauties, but she doesn't like to have beauties climb on top of her head to do her best and cause trouble in her place.

Although this flower bed is not under the jurisdiction of Concubine Pang in name, it is outside her palace after all.Once something happened, others would naturally think it was her fault, at least they would not control the people below, otherwise how could something happen?However, Pang Yuqin's heart is also warm. Although Qingqing doesn't remember the old days when she was a child, she still protects her, and she really misses her as a big sister.

Ahem, there are three other people who have the same idea. In the eyes of the Pang family, the most important person in the heart of a good daughter/sister/second sister is indeed me!Hmm, it can be regarded as a different way to the same goal.

The emperor brought Bao Zheng Zhanzhao and others from the Imperial Study Room to Chengping Hall, and his always gentle eyes flashed with anger.A murder occurred outside the residence of my beloved concubine?Isn't this stepping on the face of the royal family?This is absolutely intolerable to him!

"I've seen the officials!"

"I've seen my lady!"

"My dear concubine," the emperor walked over to help Pang Yuqin up, "are you scared?" The distressed look on his face was beyond words. In his heart, Concubine Pang was a gentle and dignified woman. Naturally, I was afraid.

Pang Yuqin smiled at the emperor, with a faint trace of fear in her eyes, "It happened that my father and mother brought my second sister into the palace to see me today, and she protected me from seeing me, so it's fine."

The emperor felt even more distressed, "Don't be afraid, I will definitely let people find out." As expected, Aifei still loves me so much, and always avoids the important ones.

"En." Pang Yuqin nodded slightly, but her heart was relieved. No matter what the conclusion of this matter is, she will not be implicated.Want to plant it on her?Oh, it's still a little bit worse.

Lan Qingqing saw the scene in front of her clearly, and sighed in her heart, no wonder Daddy felt sorry for the official family, this eldest sister completely grasped the official family's heart.Thinking about how she likes beauties, ahem, fortunately, she just appreciates them, otherwise she would have sung a green light for this "big brother-in-law".

Love is a ray of light, green enough to make you panic.

After comforting Concubine Pang, the emperor turned around and looked at Bao Zheng and the others, "Bao Qing, since you are here this time, I will entrust it to the Kaifeng Mansion at this time, and I hope to find out as soon as possible." What if these people have prepared all the evidence and put it on Concubine Pang?

At this time, he should entrust it to Kaifeng Mansion so that he can rest assured, let alone Bao Zheng's temper, Concubine Pang's younger sister is also working in Kaifeng Mansion, so naturally no one will slander Concubine Pang.

"Minister, obey the order." Although Bao Zheng didn't want to be involved in the affairs of the palace, since the officials had already spoken, he still had to do it.

The emperor nodded in satisfaction, and then looked at Lan Qingqing, "Since you are Aifei's younger sister, then you are also my younger sister. If this is done well, I will reward you."

Before Lan Qingqing could answer, Pang Yuqin spoke first, "Officials, the second sister is still young and doesn't have enough experience, so naturally I still have to listen to Master Bao. You, please don't interfere." She said this casually, but Did not anger the emperor.

The emperor nodded with a smile, "What my concubine said is true, I made a slip of the tongue. Since that's the case, I entrust this place to Bao Qing, my companion, for your assistance. If there is a request, let the other people in the palace cooperate."

Chen Daban hurriedly saluted, "Observe the order."

The emperor was satisfied now, and took Pang Yuqin to the Chengping Hall.This place is too scary, how can I let Aifei stay here?Before leaving, he also took away three other people from Pang's residence. He saw Grand Master Pang's hostile eyes, so don't let him and Bao Qing carry it.

Although Taishi Pang would definitely endure Bao Qing for the sake of his concubine, but he might not be able to face the guard Zhan.The emperor, who was familiar with Pang Ji's nature of love and obsession with daughters, was also helpless, thinking that fortunately he was an emperor, otherwise he would be looked down upon.

No, no, Grand Master Pang felt guilty, he wouldn't roll his eyes.

Emperor Concubine Pang left, Bao Zheng ordered people to dig out the dirt.A eunuch was daring to step forward to help, but Lan Qingqing pushed him away, and she took a shovel and prepared to do it.

"Let me do it, so as not to destroy some of the evidence." Lan Qingqing thought of the Gongdou dramas that Mother Lan had watched before, and felt that it would be safer to do it by herself instead of underestimating anyone.People respect me a foot and I respect others. Concubine Pang is so kind to her, she can't let people harm her.

As for why you don't think Pang Yuqin did it?It's very simple, you deserve to have the Lan Qingqing version of the human lie testing machine.She asked them all, and Pang Yuqin denied that it had anything to do with her, so that's not the case.

Bao Zheng thought about it and thought it would be better, so he nodded and agreed to let Lan Qingqing come.

Zhan Zhao also stepped forward to take the shovel, "I'll go with you."

"Ah."

Both of them are martial arts practitioners, of course the strength in their hands is not comparable to that of the little eunuch, but in the time of a cup of tea, the things in the mud of the flower bed have been completely dug out.It was a corpse. Looking at the clothes on the body, it should be a palace lady, but I don't know where it is.

Apart from a gash on the neck, there were no other wounds on the corpse, and it looked like he was killed with a knife.However, apart from some bloodstains on the collar and some traces of mud, the clothes were all clean.

"He probably changed his clothes after being killed." Lan Qingqing threw away the shovel and took the wet handkerchief handed over by the maid to clean her hands. "There is too little blood, and there is nothing wrong with this flower bed."

"It makes sense." Zhan Zhao nodded, "This body should have been buried last night. Looking at the wound, the murderer should have used a knife with his left hand, and the murder weapon was probably the size of a dagger."

Bao Zheng also stepped forward to look at it, and then said to Chen Daban: "Chen Daban, I will trouble you this time, but I still need to ask someone to identify which palace this woman is from."

Chen Daban replied with a smile: "Your Majesty Bao, you are welcome. This is what I should do. I have sent someone to pass on the message that all the stewards of the palaces should come over and identify it." He glanced at the corpse, then withdrew his eyes again. back.Fortunately, the corpse didn't look embarrassed or scary, otherwise he might not be able to sleep well at night.

Alas, when people get old, their hearts are always softer, and they can't sleep well when there is a little trouble.

"In that case, please trouble Chen Daban."

Lan Qingqing walked up to the terrified palace maid, and she knelt down to look at the kneeling person on the ground.Probably because I was frightened, and felt that I was afraid that I would be punished by the steward, and I haven't recovered yet. "What's your name? Don't be afraid, I'll let the eldest sister talk to your manager, and I won't punish you."

"Master Huilan, my servant Xingcao." She boldly raised her head to look at Lan Qingqing, and felt that she had a kind face and a very gentle attitude, so she was not so afraid.Lord Lan, like Concubine Pang, is a good person with a kind heart, but it's a pity that she can't be such a good master.

"Apricot grass, it sounds very nice." Lan Qingqing smiled, "The flowers and plants here are very beautiful, are you responsible for them?"

Xingcao nodded, "The flowers and plants here are almost all in charge of the servants, but there is another maid who is also here, her name is Xinghua."

Lan Qingqing seemed to be in high spirits, and chatted with Xingcao, "Xinghua, is she easy to get along with?"

"Sister Xinghua is a cheerful person, and she knows a little more about flowers and plants than the servant girl, so the servant girl always obeys Sister Xinghua's orders." Xingcao relaxed her whole heart, and began to say boldly Order something else.

"Oh, that's it." Lan Qingqing nodded, "By the way, why are you alone today? Isn't Xinghua with you?"

Xingcao nodded, "Sister Xinghua didn't know what to eat last night, and she is a little tired today." She looked around and found that no one noticed them, so she whispered: "The palace doesn't like palace people to be sick. , in order not to be a hindrance to the viewer, I will be removed if I get sick. Sister Xinghua is afraid that if I go out, I will go to a place where no one can see me, so I let me come by myself."

"An unseen place?"

"In short, it's a bad place, that's what my sisters said." Xingcao was a little confused, "I don't know where it is, but it shouldn't be a good place, and everyone is afraid. That's why I helped you Elder Sister Xinghua came here by herself without telling the steward."

It's just that such a thing happened, and it probably couldn't be concealed.I hope that Sister Xinghua's stomach is already healed, otherwise she will really be removed.

"Why are you digging the soil?" Lan Qingqing secretly remembered this so-called bad place, "If it's normal watering, don't you need to do this?"

"When I came out today, the steward said it." Xingcao opened her eyes wide, fearing that Lan Qingqing would not believe her, she pointed to the flower bed, "There is a flower there, the steward said it was sick and probably wouldn't live long It’s time. In order not to make Concubine Pang feel bad, let the slaves poach them and replace them with other flowers.”

Lan Qingqing looked at it, and it was indeed what Xingcao said, and there were replaceable flowers in the basket beside her. "Since the manager saw you today, doesn't he know that your sister Xinghua didn't go to work?"

Xingcao was a little stunned, and blinked, "The manager didn't ask, probably because he thought the servant would tell Sister Xinghua about this matter." She was so nervous that she hadn't thought about this question at all.

Lan Qingqing smiled, which is too coincidental.That corpse, buried yesterday, was dug up today?
