[Red House] Harem Road in Spring

I don't know if it's a coincidence or the emperor deliberately chose such a time period to stir up troubles in the post, and there was a lot of turmoil in the court, but the officials in Shu land sent a memorial, saying that it was heavy rain in Shu land for days, and the river flooded the ditches. Large swathes of land and villages were flooded.Not only were the crops that the people had worked so hard for a year and they were about to have a bumper harvest destroyed, but also large areas of villages were flooded.

Those who escaped quickly escaped to the nearby mountains and escaped the flood, but many more died in the flood.

This memorial made the emperor on the dragon chair feel icy, and glanced at the ministers who were arguing endlessly in the court hall. Suddenly, the court hall was silent like a cicada!

"Okay, okay!" The emperor laughed back angrily, "I have time to pay attention to my family affairs, but I don't have time to care about the life and death of the people in the world. The flood in the Shu land has destroyed many people's homes, and even more people have lost their lives in the flood. And you ...What use do I need you for?"

"Eat the king's salary, share the worries for the king, is this how you share the worries for me?"

"I'm guilty!" All the people in the court fell to their knees.

The emperor's temper is notoriously gentle, although it is pretended, but the people in the court rarely see the emperor angry, since the emperor ascended the throne, they have never seen the emperor angry.

Now, the emperor is furious, which makes many people who have been dazed by the benefits brought by the position of empress wake up instantly. At this time, let alone let the emperor choose the queen, they are most concerned about how the emperor will rest Thunder Fury.

The intuition is still very accurate, and sure enough, the emperor who was burning with anger dealt with a few jumping favorites, and now, no matter whether they wanted to or were scared, everyone put their minds on the flood in Shu On the other hand, the disaster relief this time has been carried out with high efficiency.

After the affair between the court and the central government faded away, the tense atmosphere in the harem also dissipated, and because of the small number of concubines in the harem, there were fewer and fewer disputes.

Speaking of which, the current emperor's harem is the rarest among all emperors. Now there are only five concubines, one beauty and one talent. Many rich families have several times as many concubines as the emperor!It's no wonder that everyone focused their attention on the emperor's harem.

Although Yingchun only has human interests and power hanging in the front, disputes will continue, even if they are temporarily suppressed by the emperor, they will revive soon.

However, Yingchun did not expect that things would happen so quickly.

On this day, very early in the morning, some court ladies rushed to the Changle Palace to welcome the spring to report that Zhou Cairen had died, and even hanged herself!

By the time he found out, Zhou Cairen had died of anger!

I don't know which emperor made the rule that people in the palace, no matter if they are concubines or eunuchs, are not allowed to shed a single tear.

It doesn't matter whether it's a concubine or a palace official, if he dares to commit suicide in the palace, he must question his family members.

For thousands of years, these two rules have never changed.

When the queen committed suicide in the first place, she committed suicide in fear of guilt, and there was a meaning of apology in it. If she did not apologize with death, the people involved would be condemned to a greater guilt. smaller.

But Zhou Cairen, who looks soft and weak, but quite scheming, Zhou Cairen played a big role in Guo Meiren's pregnancy and miscarriage.

Later, Guo Meiren, who came back to her senses, targeted Zhou Cairen many times, and Zhou Cairen was not very favored, so she fell silent.

Why would she commit suicide now?Is it possible that you are not afraid of implicating your loved ones at home?

Or, what else is there in this article?

Yingchun sighed, as the person in charge of the palace affairs, she had to deal with Zhou Cairen's funeral.

Zhou Cairen and Guo Meiren were in the Sixth West Palace with Yingchun, so when Yingchun arrived, the imperial concubine and Xianfei had not yet arrived.

When the Spring Festival came, Zhou Cairen had already been released, and Guo Meiren was also crying sadly, but although Zhou Cairen's court lady was mourning deeply, she stayed by Zhou Cairen's side to prevent Guo Meiren from approaching.

"Your Majesty, I beg your Majesty to be the master of the slaves!" Seeing the arrival of the Spring Festival, the maid hurriedly knelt down and cried.

Yingchun frowned, is there really something inside?

"Your Majesty, they all said that Cai Ren committed suicide, but last night, Cai Ren deliberately called the servant to a place where no one was around, and told the servant that if something happened to her, someone must have killed her."

"Sure enough, Cai Ren was murdered before even one day has arrived! I beg your mother to be the master of the servant girl!"

What the maid said made Yingchun raise her eyebrows, "Your master said that if something happened to her, she must have been murdered?"

Yingchun asked, did Zhou Cairen have any bad guesses before?Or what's the inside story here.

"Yes, since a few days ago, Cairen's expression has been a little anxious. Yesterday, he seemed to know that something unexpected would happen to him, and repeatedly warned his servants."

Yingchun took two steps forward.

"Niangniang" Xiuju hurriedly stopped her.

Yingchun shook her head, what is there to be afraid of the dead, the most terrifying thing in this world should be the living.

"Uncover the cloth!" Yingchun said.

Before the maid beside Yingchun could stop her, the maid hurriedly removed the cloth covering Zhou Cairen as if she was afraid of Yingchun's repentance.

Zhou Cairen's face was already livid, and he looked a little scary.

However, even if Yingchun is not an experienced forensic doctor, she knows what the body of a person who hanged himself upright looks like, and it is absolutely impossible for Zhou Cairen to be like this.

"Go and call the people who examine the corpse." Yingchun said.

Things always need to be made clear, there are a group of people who specialize in examining corpses in the palace.

After asking people to guard a few insiders and not allowing them to meet each other to avoid colluding confessions, Yingchun then moved to the main hall.Yes, Zhou Cairen and Guo Meiren lived in the same palace, but because of their different positions, they lived in the side hall, and the main hall was always empty.

After a while, Wu Zuo, the noble concubine, and the concubine Xian all came.

After the three of them simply met each other, they asked Wu Zuo to examine the cause of Zhou Cairen's death.

After a while, the nanny who acted as the assistant came out, and after saluting, she reported the cause of Zhou Cairen's death to Yingchun and the others.

"Zhou Cairen died of suffocation, but according to the direction of the strangle marks on her neck, we know that she did not hang herself, but was strangled to death. Zhou Cairen was first tied with a rope to his arm, and then he was strangled to death. In addition, there were scars on Zhou Cairen's hands, and two of his nails were broken. It can be seen that Zhou Cairen was conscious when he was strangled to death. He was awake and had struggled violently. Another point is that Zhou Cairen had other scars in his mouth and abrasions on his lips. It is known that the murderer committed the crime after stuffing Zhou Cairen's mouth with something. According to the corpse The degree of rigidity, Zhou Cairen should have been murdered at midnight."

Obviously, this is a homicide!

Zhou Cairen's hands were bound, something was stuffed in his mouth, he was strangled to death with a rope, and finally he committed suicide by hanging himself.

"It's unreasonable, there is such a bold person in the palace!" The imperial concubine said angrily.

"Zhou Cairen's death, the palace people around her must know something, why don't you come and ask." Concubine Xian said.

"Zhou Cairen's personal maid, she knows a lot." Yingchun said.

"Then tell Zhou Cairen's personal maid." The noble concubine said.

Soon, the maid was brought up, and seeing three people sitting in the hall, she quickly knelt down and begged the three to seek justice for Zhou Cairen.

"Don't worry, you will know what you know slowly." The imperial concubine said.

"Yes"

……

As I told Yingchun before, it proved that Zhou Cairen's murder had a precursor.

"Has Zhou Cairen had conflicts with anyone before?" Concubine Xian asked.

It was obvious that this was murder caused by rancor.

The maid bowed her head and pondered for a moment, then said, "Yes, yes, the master and Guo Meiren had a big quarrel in the palace a few days ago, and yesterday there was another fierce quarrel. Today... today the master is gone!"

"It must be Guo Meiren, it must be Guo Meiren who resented the master, and then she thought of murdering the master, the noble concubine, the Shu concubine, and the virtuous concubine must be the masters of the servants!" The maid said suddenly.

"Xuan Guo beauty came to confront her!" Concubine Xian said.

"Yes"

As soon as Guo Meiren walked into the hall, the palace maid said viciously, "Guo Meiren, pay back my master's life!"

Guo Meiren was startled, and couldn't help taking half a step back. After recovering, she hastily knelt down on the ground, and explained to Yingchun and the others, "I beg the three empresses to be careful, no matter whether Zhou Cairen committed suicide or was killed by others." The murder has nothing to do with the humble concubine, this maid is spitting blood and begging the three empresses to make decisions for the humble concubine."

At this time, Concubine Xian said meaningfully, "Oh? Does Guo Meiren know whether Zhou Cairen committed suicide or was murdered?"

Guo Meiren was startled, then shook her head violently, "I don't know, this concubine doesn't know!"

Concubine Xian still smiled meaningfully.

When Guo Meiren first entered the palace, she was designed to have a fake pregnancy. Of course, many people didn't know that it was a fake pregnancy. The murderer at the time was Concubine De. , and then became pregnant openly. After that, Guo Meiren "miscarried", and because of taking a lot of strong abortion drugs and hurting her body, she couldn't conceive in the future, so she was a little crazy. I don't know when it started. The madness seems to be cured.

Maybe it was because Xianfei's eyes were too oppressive, Guo Meiren couldn't resist and said, "Before I heard that Zhou Cairen committed suicide, but later I saw the autopsy person in Zhou Cairen's room, so I knew Zhou Cairen may have died of murder."

"People say Guo Meiren is stupid, so the rumors are wrong!" Concubine Xian said with a smile.

Guo Meiren's body froze.

"Zhou Cairen was murdered at midnight yesterday. At midnight, the gates of the palace were locked everywhere, and outsiders could not enter the Nuoda Shou'an Palace. Therefore, the murderer who murdered Zhou Cairen must have lived here. An Gong. Except for you and Zhou Cairen, all the people in Shou An Palace are palace people, how could the palace people murder Zhou Cairen? Just right, Guo Meiren, you had a conflict with Zhou Cairen a few days ago. You murdered Zhou Cairen last night, but?" Concubine Xian asked again.

"No, no." Guo Meiren shook her head desperately, "The servant has been sleeping in the palace all night, how could he murder Zhou Cairen? Besides, the humble concubine and Zhou Cairen have no grievances or enmities, at most it was just a few words of quarrel. Why would you murder Zhou Cairen for such a thing?"

"Yes! There is grievance and hatred!" Zhou Cairen's maid suddenly said firmly.

"Guo Meiren, when you were arguing with Zhou Cairen yesterday, the servant overheard a few words outside. You said that Cairen used sisterhood to gain your trust, and then gave you abortion drugs in your food, which not only made you You didn't keep the prince in your womb, and it caused you a lot of physical damage, and it is absolutely impossible to get pregnant again in the future.

Regardless of whether those things were done by talented people or not, in your heart, Guo Meiren, the master not only has a hatred for killing your son, but also a hatred for sterilization. With such a big hatred, you are afraid that you would like to kill my master alive, right? "

There is such a thing, at that time the imperial physician found that Guo Meiren had taken a large amount of strong abortion drugs, but did not find out who gave it, but at that time, the only suspicion was that Zhou Cairen seemed to be kind enough to give Guo Meiren a plate dessert.

At that time, Guo Meiren and Zhou Cairen were a temporary alliance, and the relationship was not bad. Moreover, Guo Meiren didn't know that she was "pregnant" and had no precautions, so she used the snacks sent by Zhou Cairen, so the tragedy happened. happened!

At that time, the plate of snacks that Zhou Cairen gave was very suitable for Guo Meiren's appetite. It can also be said that Zhou Cairen got up and left after watching Guo Meiren run out. Later, some people suspected Zhou Cairen, and because Guo Meiren ate all the dim sum and found nothing.

Unexpectedly, such an old case was involved.

Guo Meiren's face was as pale as paper, it can be seen that the palace lady talked about her pain!

"Come here, check Guo Meiren's bedroom, check Guo Meiren's body." Concubine Xian said.

Guo Meiren was shocked, and she covered her neck on the right side with her hand reflexively. When she realized that it was wrong and let go quickly, everyone had already noticed her movement.

It was also at this time that everyone discovered that Guo Meiren was wearing a palace dress with a high collar today, which tightly covered her neck.

"Come here, check Guo Meiren's neck." Concubine Xian said immediately.

The two nuns immediately stepped forward to control Guo Meiren, Guo Meiren struggled desperately, but she was the opponent of these nuns who had done rough work, and the nuns ripped off the clothes around her neck in two or three strokes.

In an instant, everyone's exclamation sounded, and there were three scars scratched by long fingernails on Guo Meiren's neck, and the scars were obviously new.
