After another two days, Shen Huan was finally able to get out of bed, and her complexion was much better than before.
Shen Huan asked Xiang Ming if anyone was implicated when she fell into the water.
Xiangming's eyes were a little evasive, she lowered her head and said, "I don't know very well..."
Shen Huan felt something was wrong. His sharp eyes passed over Xiang Ming's lowered head and he said coldly: "Why don't you know this clearly? If you don't want to tell me now, do you want me to go to the emperor to personally investigate?"
Xiangming hurriedly said: "No, miss, but... the eunuch who pushed the miss into the water was just a rough eunuch who was sent to the cold palace to serve in the past year. There is no way to find out who his master is, and no one knows his recent past. Have you ever met anyone?”
Shen Huan refused to give up and said, "What about his family? Doing this kind of thing is just for profit, doesn't his family get any benefits?"
Xiangming sighed: "It's strange that he doesn't have any family!"
Shen Huan stopped asking, thought for a moment, and then asked: "Tell me, where did the eunuch die?"
Xiangming said: "When General Chu Xia sent people to chase him, the eunuch died outside Concubine Pei's Ruizhu Palace. He was strangled to death..." Seeing Shen Huan's expression of fear, she hurriedly explained: "At that time The emperor became angry and wanted to send someone to Ruizhu Palace to report Concubine Pei, but General Xia said the matter was suspicious and asked the emperor to give him three days to investigate... However, there was still no result."
Shen Huan just kept sneering: "Okay, okay, it's a great place to die!"
Xiangming looked at her in horror: "Miss..."
Shen Huan suddenly said: "Xiang Ming, I'm tired. Thank you for taking care of me these days when you go back."
Xiangming breathed a sigh of relief and said softly: "It is my blessing to be able to take care of young lady. When the queen was alive, she was very supportive of my servant..."
Shen Wen was not surprised, as if he knew it from the beginning
She is nothing now. How can anyone be kind to her inexplicably? If this fragrant tea can call her "Miss", she must be an old friend in the palace.
Sister, you are not a completely unscrupulous person!
After Xiangming left, Shen Huan saw no one around. Xichen was going to court at this time, so she could just clean up and go back to the room.
On the way, he met Xia Wenze. Shen Huan smiled at him and said, "I haven't seen you in the past few days, and I was just about to thank you for your help."
Xia Wenze seemed to have a bad look on his face and hesitated to speak.
Shen Huan asked: "The emperor ordered you to find the murderer behind the scenes in three days. You didn't find it, but he blamed you?"
Xia Wenze shook his head and said: "No, when the young lady woke up, the emperor asked me to go and conduct a thorough investigation, but..."
Shen Wen suspected that there was something on his mind, and for the sake of him saving her life, she asked: "Just what?"
Xia Wenze seemed to have summoned up the courage and said, "Can I ask you not to investigate this matter anymore?"
Shen Huan was stunned, then looked at him a little ridiculously, and said: "General, you should ask the emperor this question. Shen Huan is just a slave and cannot afford the general's request."
General Xia said anxiously: "If the young lady is unwilling to investigate this matter, the emperor will definitely not make it difficult for her to be dismissed."
Shen Huan looked at him steadily for a moment and asked, "Is the general a selfish person?"
Xia Wenze lowered his head and remained silent. Shen Huan sighed and said: "I understand. General, you can rest assured that I am fine. The person who pushed me into the water is dead. I will not let more people be implicated."
Xia Wenze looked at her with gratitude: "Thank you!"
Shen Huan walked past him expressionlessly and said with emotion: "The general is a good brother."
Xia Wenze's face was full of surprise, and Shen Huan smiled and said: "According to Shen Huan, the general is not a selfish person, but there is only one person in the palace who can make the general worried. Although she is not the mastermind, but..." She paused After a pause, he added: "Remind your sister, just because I forgive her this time does not mean that I will still follow your advice next time."
As Shen Wen walked away, Xia Wenze's thoughts returned to five days ago, when he was ordered to investigate Shen Wen's fall into the water.
When the eunuch died, he had no clue. He was really dead without evidence.
If we start with Shen Huan, although she is just a little palace maid now, she has offended too many people, including Concubine Pei, Concubine Qing, etc., and anyone may want to kill her.
And the eunuch happened to die outside Concubine Pei's Ruizhu Palace.
When Concubine Pei found out about the incident, she denied it flatly, saying that she had never seen the eunuch at all and that someone else was simply putting the blame on it!
Although Concubine Qing seems to have nothing to do with this matter, but...
Thoughts were disturbed, Xia Zhaoyi found Wenze at this moment
Seeing her brother's frown, and thinking of that day when his brother risked his own life to save Shen Huan, Xia Zhaoyi asked worriedly: "Did the emperor really say that if my brother cannot find the real culprit, he will be punished together with him?"
Wen Ze frowned and said: "Jun Wu is joking, let alone Ah Hu... Miss Shen is more important to him than his life. Years ago, Concubine Pei just slapped her twice and was fined and grounded. If the Queen Mother hadn't begged for mercy, this would be the case. I'm afraid she's still locked up! What's more, this time, instead of slapping her twice, I almost killed her!"
Xia Zhaoyi bit her lower lip tightly, her face became increasingly pale, and her eyes were filled with tears. She made up her mind and said in a painful voice: "Brother, my sister will not let you be in trouble, you... just hand me over!"
