Chapter 5 Find out the murderer
Beibei lay motionless on the ground, the man looked at the "corpse" coldly, perhaps because of his guilt.
, lowered the brim of the hat and left quietly while it was unprepared.
After waiting for a while, I made sure there was no movement in my ears.
"Swish!" Beibei opened his eyes, got up quickly, and ran all the way back to Danqiongyuan.
It happened to be that Chu Yunning came out to find him, and Beibei pierced his head into Chu Yunning's arms, crying so hard that he was out of breath.
Chu Yunning was panicked. Beibei must have encountered something when he didn't cry easily. He bent down and squatted down and saw the purple marks on Beibei's neck at a glance, and he suddenly became angry.
When Beibei gradually became quiet, I asked what happened.
"Mom, I want to go back and get Xiaobai and Xiaomujian. Someone pinched me from behind. Fortunately, I remember my mother's words and pretended to be dead..."
Chu Yunning was frightened by Beibei's few words and asked again: "Did you see clearly what you look like?"
Beibei tilted his head for a while and shook his head: "I smelled half of vanilla and beauty lotus."
"Okay, mom understands." Chu Yunning touched Beibei's head. He was only four and a half years old. These people couldn't stand it?
Do you really use her as a soft persimmon?
After coaxing Beibei's emotions, Chu Yunning carried Beibei back to the house. The child had never experienced such a thing. His hands were still cold and his body was trembling and he snuggled in her arms.
Aunt Mao asked, "Princess, should you report this to the prince?"
Chu Yunning shook his head and told King Xiao what it is. If you really want to find out something, you might have to cover up.
What's more, King Xiao is also on her list of suspicions.
Who knows if this pervert will kill his son?
"I know this in my mind."
Chu Yunning was sure that Beibei was asleep, and told Aunt Mao to accompany Beibei and leave with anger on his face.
"Pretty, the princess is here." Lu Xiu said.
Ye Yan'er was tidying up a jade hairpin on her temples in front of the mirror, and said lightly without raising her head, "Let her come in."
Chu Yunning stepped into the main courtyard. Compared with Danqiong Courtyard, it is luxurious and atmospheric, with scenery everywhere. There are dozens of pots of blooming flowers placed under the corridor, each brick and tile is particularly exquisite.
The main house is even more luxurious. The sixteen screens of the Eight Immortals holding longevity peaches are lifelike, half a person's height of blood coral, and even the table is placed in a complete set of peony porcelain white glaze.
He is worthy of being the most beloved woman of King Xiao, and he is extremely pampered.
Ye Yan'er smiled and poured a cup of tea and handed it over, as gentle as ever: "Why is the princess here today? Is there anything missing in Danqiongyuan? Princess, don't worry, the maids cleaned too quickly yesterday, and some places were not in time, so I'll send more people to clean and add some items later."
Chu Yunning looked at Ye Yan'er with a calm expression, trying to see something.
However, Ye Yan'er was perfect, without seeing any clues, and was also considerate and virtuous, and could not find any mistakes.
Chu Yunning didn't receive tea, and his breathing was tight and his tone became anxious: "Thank you for your hard work in the concubine, but I didn't come to clean the Danqiong Courtyard."
Something must have happened to the child!
Ye Yan'er was happy in her heart, waiting to see Chu Yunning crying, but she pretended to be nothing on her face.
"I came here to ask the concubine to help find the Yuling Order given by the Empress Dowager. Maybe it was left behind when I moved yesterday. The Empress Dowager asked me that I really couldn't explain it, so I could only give up my shamelessness and I would have to work hard for a while."
Ye Yan'er was suddenly disappointed when she heard this.
Could it be that Chu Yunning hasn't discovered that the child is "dead"?
I thought of losing such an important thing again, it would be strange if the empress dowager is not annoyed. Without the support of the empress dowager, Chu Yunning will just wait for death!
So Concubine Ye covered her mouth and was surprised: "The princess is too careless. This is a gift from the emperor. If she can't find it, she will be beheaded."
Chu Yunning also became anxious. Ye Yan'er comforted her and started playing Tai Chi with her, but she didn't intend to send someone to help find her.
"It's all my fault for being careless. I lost such an important thing. I'm only worried that the Empress Dowager would implicate the entire palace or concubine if she blamed her. After all, the things are in the palace, and the concubine is in charge of the palace. How many people are thinking about such a good thing?"
Ye Yan'er's face froze when she heard this, her chest was so angry that she clogged, and she sang: "Luxiu, send someone to look for it right away."
"yes!"
About an hour later, Lu Xiu reported: "I went back to the concubine, and the slaves and servants from Danqiongyuan to Lengxiangyuan carefully searched, but no Yu Ling Ling was found."
Lu Xiu couldn't help rolling her eyes. Da Xia stared at the scorching sun and looked for things. She was already sweating profusely and secretly scolded Chu Yunning for not even taking up any items.
Chu Yunning insisted that he lost his house while moving.
This matter was a bit tricky. Ye Yan'er's mind was swollen. She winked at Green Sweets and said, "Send more people to find them, be careful not to let them go in any corner."
Lu Xiu knew it and sent someone to find King Xiao when he went out.
When King Xiao learned that Chu Yunning was asking for trouble for Ye Yan'er again, he left what he had done and rushed back to his house without saying a word.
Lu Xiu was waiting at the second door in person. When he saw King Xiao, he immediately added fuel to the fire and said how Chu Yunning made things difficult for Ye Yan'er.
"Prince, the concubine has always been humble to the princess everywhere, but the princess insists on making things difficult for the concubine. The mansion is thrusting and complaining, the concubine's body is not good at all..."
Before Lu Xiu finished speaking, King Xiao rushed over with anxiety.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Chu Yunning who was leisurely and Ye Yan'er who stood beside her and looked pale.
"If you lose the thing, send someone to find it. What are you doing here to make things difficult for Yan'er?" King Xiao said unhappily.
Chu Yunning slowly stood up. She and Ye Yan'er had been waiting for so long, and King Xiao was waiting.
"Prince, although I am a princess, I have always been in charge of the concubines in the mansion. Those servants may not be willing to listen to me, so I want to ask the concubines for help."
Chu Yunning shrugged innocently: "As for the embarrassment the prince said, I don't know where to start."
Ye Yan'er explained softly: "Prince, don't get me wrong, the princess has not made things difficult for Yan'er."
Ye Yan'er's eyes were red when she said this.
King Xiao was even more sure that Chu Yunning bullied Ye Yan'er.
After all, Yan'er never takes the initiative to complain, she has always whitewashed the peace and smoothed out the situation for Chu Yunning everywhere.
After all, it is because Chu Yunning has the support of the queen mother and comes to bully Yan'er every now and then.
He has been imprisoned for so many years and is still unchanged. Fortunately, he still feels guilty yesterday.
She is not worthy!
Ye Yan'er gently pulled King Xiao's sleeve and said timidly: "It's important to find something."
King Xiao took a deep breath and couldn't bear to refute Ye Yan'er's face, so he had to suppress his anger.
"Look! Be sure to find the stuff today!"
Chu Yunning said again: "Prince, there is no one serving except Aunt Mao in Danqiong Courtyard. I want to choose a few available people to serve him, so there is no need to bother with the concubine in the future."
This requirement is not an exaggeration.
"Prince, I was so hurry yesterday, so Yan'er was not prepared. Yan'er originally had the intention to choose a few suitable ones for the princess." Ye Yan'er quickly explained, not giving Chu Yunning the chance to pick the wrong ones.
Chu Yunning curled his lips. Ye Yan'er was too vilified. She didn't mention this matter just to complain.
King Xiao nodded in agreement.
Taking advantage of the free time when looking for something, Ye Yan'er arranged a maid in the yard and let Chu Yunning choose.
Chu Yunning walked past the corridor and passed by everyone seriously. She had a keen sense of smell. As long as these people were stained with some smell, she could smell it.
“Another batch.”
Chu Yunning said that none of them were satisfied.
A batch was arranged soon.
"Switch again!"
"Change!"
"Continue to change!"
After changing hundreds of them in a row, Chu Yunning didn't like any of them.
King Xiao's eyes fell on Chu Yunning with his sinister eyes: "Is the princess deliberately looking for trouble?"
Chu Yunning retorted disapprovingly: "There is always someone who chooses people to serve. If it is not satisfactory, the master will not be able to do it."
King Xiao sneered coldly, seeing what tricks she could use, and patiently said: "Continue to prepare for the princess until the princess is satisfied!"
Chu Yunning continued to choose from it. Just when she thought there was no hope, Chu Yunning suddenly stopped in front of a fat and strong woman, and looked down, and the woman's shoes were still covered with black mud.
In order to grow herbs, Lengxiangyuan specially moved a lot of black soil. There were not many places in the royal palace, and the woman was still stained with a faint herbal smell.
Wang Sanniang subconsciously took two steps back, and suddenly a hairpin fell off her body.
Wang Sanniang was stunned for a moment and reached out to pick up Naihe Chu Yunning one step faster than her.
"This is not my hairpin, why did it run to you?"
Wang Sanniang had no idea how this hairpin was in her arms. This was the first time she saw it.
"This..." Wang Sanniang stammered and couldn't answer.
"Have you been to Lengxiangyuan?" Chu Yunning continued to question.
A large drop of sweat oozing from Wang Sanniang's forehead, obviously she couldn't resist it anymore
Ye Yan'er quickly noticed something, but when King Xiao was present, she could not mention anything and could only wait silently.
Chu Yunning played with the hairpin in his hand and looked at King Xiao meaningfully: "I don't know if the rules in the mansion are not rigorous. I just moved away, and someone broke into Lengxiang Garden without authorization. It seems that this Yuling Order has been missed by someone for a long time."
"Prince, I am wronged!" Wang Sanniang knelt on the ground, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and nipped the head at King Xiao: "I don't know how this hairpin will be on me, and I don't know what the princess said, so I ask the prince to understand."
"Prince, will there be any misunderstandings?"
Seeing that Wang Sanniang was unstable, Ye Yan'er had to stand up and smooth things over, trying to confuse the past.
Some people died, but not completely...
