Chapter 58 murderer

Nianqing's body was discovered by the lowly maid who cleaned the palace early in the morning.To be precise, the maid only found an embroidered shoe left by the pool.

The maid was short-sighted, but she also knew that such exquisite embroidered shoes could only be worn by the nobles in the palace. When she thought of the nobleman falling into the water, she was startled immediately, and hurriedly took the embroidered shoes to find the aunt in charge.

The aunt in charge observed for a long time with the embroidered shoe, but she was not sure to pay attention. After all, there was only one embroidered shoe, and she couldn't tell whether any noble person had fallen into the lotus pond. I have been punished, but if someone really fell into the water...

After thinking about it, the aunt in charge asked the maid to conceal it, and at the same time ordered the eunuch and maid in her hand to search quietly in the lotus pond, and sent people to the palaces to find out if any nobles disappeared last night.

While the aunt in charge was waiting anxiously, news came from the lotus pond. The eunuch and maid who salvaged found a white and wrinkled female body in the pond.

Dressed in a pink dress embroidered with lotus flowers, it is the Nianqing who is full of trouble during the day.

Coincidentally at this time, the eunuch who was inquiring about the news also received news that Miss Nian Qing had disappeared in Fengmian Hall last night.

When the news reached Fengmian Palace, the queen and Nianxi hurried to the lotus pond. Seeing Nianqing, Nianxi immediately passed out and was hugged by the quick-handed maid.

The queen's complexion also changed, very ugly, no matter whether Nian Qing died by accident or committed suicide, it was a stain on Nian's family.

It's just that now is not the time to think about it.

The queen forced herself to be calm, first she called the guards to surround the area, checked if there were any suspicious items around, sealed off the harem and forbid anyone to send messages outside the palace, and then asked the maid to send Nianxi back to Fengmian Hall to find the imperial doctor diagnosis; and spread the news to the Compassionate Ning Palace and the Panlong Palace respectively.

At this time, because of Nian Qing's death, the eyes of the harem fell on the side of the lotus pond, and all the palaces were quietly inquiring about the news, but when the incident happened, it was already dark, and no one in the huge imperial palace noticed Nian Qing. When did he fall into the water? Even the people in Fengmian Hall didn't know when Nianqing left.

There are different opinions about the harem.

The one who died was the concubine's daughter of the prime minister of the empire, not an ordinary maid. We must investigate to find out the truth. If you die by suicide, it is easy to solve. If you are killed, you must give an explanation to the prime minister, otherwise, the court will not be peaceful. .

The lotus pond where Nianqing drowned is the closest to Qifeng Palace, so the behavior of the aunt in charge cannot be hidden from Qifeng Palace, so Su Yunran was the first to get the news of Nianqing's death.

Su Yunran felt very strange.

How could Nianqing drown in the lotus pond?Or in the middle of the night, no one knows?Not to mention that kneeling as a punishment during the day prompted her to think of suicide, since she has already knelt down, wouldn't it be too late to die?It's better to jump off the side of the water pavilion and pour some sewage for her.

Besides, it's not that there are no ponds near Fengmian Palace, why choose the lotus pond near Qifeng Palace?If it is really suicide, do you want to have something to do with her?If it's not suicide, it's thinking...

Su Yunran thought a lot, but felt that the harem would not be peaceful anymore, and she might be in trouble.

It's not that she thinks too much, it's because of her current status that she has to think too much.

Feeling a little headache, Su Yunran called Qian Xue and asked her to inquire about this matter in detail.

******

Nian Qing's body was collected and placed in a remote cold palace to wait for burial.

With Ye Muwei's permission, the queen summoned Dali Siqing into the harem to examine Nian Qing's body and find out the cause of death, whether it was homicide or suicide.

Dali Siqing quickly came to the conclusion that Nian Qing had no external injuries, no traces of poisoning, and no signs of struggle around him, and indeed died of drowning.

The queen asked the maid to send Dali Siqing away, already thinking about how to take advantage of Nian Qing's death to pull Concubine Su Yunranyun from the position of concubine.

After yesterday's Panlong Palace incident, the Queen could see very clearly that Emperor Ye's love for Concubine Yun has no bottom line, and it is impossible for Emperor Ye to get tired of Concubine Yun. If Su Yunran becomes pregnant again during this period of time , then you won't get bored, so you can only use other forces to deal with Concubine Yun.

Nianqing's death was a good breakthrough.

When the queen was thinking about how to guide her, the maid who took care of Nianxi came to report. Miss Nianxi had already woken up and said that she had something important to tell the empress.

The queen raised her eyebrows. The pair of sisters had been causing her troubles since they entered the palace. If the queen mother didn't like them, she would have sent them back to Nian's house long ago, but now Nianqing died in the palace.

Nianxi, what do you want to tell her?

The queen walked into the side hall where Nianxi lived, and raised her hand to let the maid leave.

Nianxi was wearing white obscene clothes, leaning against the head of the bed with a pale face, when she saw the queen coming in, she burst into tears, wet her cheeks, and was so choked up that she couldn't speak.

"Ah!" The queen sat on the edge of the bed, took out a handkerchief to dry Nian Xi's tears, and said, "Qing'er died, and I am very sad. Alas, why is Qing'er so hard to think about it, why is she so stupid, what can't be done?" Tell me? Why did you kill yourself?"

"Mother, my sister didn't commit suicide!" Nian Xi grabbed the Queen's hand vigorously and said excitedly, "My sister couldn't commit suicide. She clearly, clearly told me that she would go home and get married together. So how could she be?" Suicide? Someone must have killed my sister!"

"Xi'er, you can't talk nonsense!" The queen's heart tightened, she took out her hand, patted the back of Nianxi's hand, and said softly, "Xi'er, I know that Qing'er's death has hit you hard, but This palace has asked Dali Siqing to investigate, and Qing'er really died of drowning."

"No, ma'am, no." Nianxi became more excited when he heard the words, with an urgent tone and a fast speed, "my sister can't commit suicide, we all agreed. Madam, someone must have pushed my sister into the lotus pond, so My sister will drown."

It is indeed possible.If Nianqing was unprepared and pushed her into the water, there would be no trauma to her body, and there would be no struggle.

The queen was thinking, her eyes fell on Nianxi.

"Sister Queen, you believe in Xi'er, believe in Xi'er..." Nian Xi's tears fell down, crying very sadly.

"I believe in you, but Your Majesty doesn't necessarily believe in you." The queen thought, Nian Qing who was murdered was more useful than Nian Qing who committed suicide. If it was pushed to Concubine Yun, Ye Muwei would not be able to keep her.

Nianxi bit her lip, "Sister Queen, Xi'er wants to tell His Majesty in person that Xi'er must avenge her sister, and her sister can't die without knowing why."

"Okay, Xi'er, I trust you." The queen thought about the gains and losses, and agreed to Nian Xi, "I will tell your majesty. You should cultivate in Fengmian Palace for a few days, and then talk about it when you recover. "

"Thank you, empress." Nian Xi said with a weeping voice while lowering her eyes.

The queen comforted her softly, got up and left the side hall.

After the queen left, the maid entered the side hall.

Nianxi looked tired, and waved for the maid to put down the bed curtain and lie down on the bed.

very quiet.

After a long time, Nianxi looked at the top of the bed, laughed lowly, and then tears fell down again.
