Xianyue glanced at Qian Moduo, who went over to check knowingly, and then said: "For the record, Imperial Concubine, these two people have the moles and scars that Concubine Yu mentioned on their bodies. It seems that they are indeed Dongmei Er."
people."
As soon as Qian Moduo finished speaking, Concubine Yu cried out sadly: "No, how could the two of them die? I was fine when I saw them a few days ago. It couldn't be them. I don't believe it."
!”
Mrs. Hu walked up and said, "Now that the matter has come to this, I would like to ask my condolences to express my condolences. I believe they have spirits in heaven, and I don't want to see your Majesty so sad."
Faced with her consolation, Concubine Yu cried even more sadly, her tears falling like broken pearls. Xianyue took a deep look at her, walked over and said, "Concubine Yu, in recent times, Xiao Quanzi
Is there anything unusual about them? Also, have you ever punished them?"
Concubine Yu choked up and said: "Everything is the same as usual, there is nothing abnormal. As for the punishment, I have scolded them a few times, but... but there is no way I can commit suicide for this." After that, she said eagerly.
: "Yes, someone must have harmed them. Madam, someone must have harmed them. You must find the real culprit who killed Xiao Quanzi and Dongmei!"
Xianyue comforted the emotional Concubine Yu and said, "Don't worry, if you are really murdered, I will definitely find the murderer."
Concubine Yu nodded, wiped her tears and said: "Although they and I are called master and servant, they have been together for more than ten years and are like relatives. I can't believe that they are gone like this. I feel really sad..."
I feel so uncomfortable." After saying that, she added: "Does the Emperor know about this?"
Xianyue saw all the subtle expressions on her face and said, "I have sent someone to inform the emperor, and they should be here soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hongli brought Sixi and Qi Kuan over. Seeing his appearance, Concubine Yu's tears that had just been stopped burst out again, and she sobbed: "Your Majesty, Xiao Quanzi and Dongmei are dead, they are not
Those who commit suicide must be someone who pushed them into the water and killed them. Your Majesty, they died so unjustly!" After saying this, she was already sobbing.
Hongli patted her back and comforted her: "I know it well. If someone is really harming me, I will not forgive you lightly." After that, he called Qian Moduo over and asked about the situation, but Qian Moduo knew very well.
It's so superficial that even the real cause of death of Xiao Quanzi and the others cannot be determined.
Hongli pondered for a long time and said: "Sixi, you go out of the palace immediately and go to Shuntian Mansion to summon the couple for entrance examination. In addition, send someone to check to see if anyone has seen anyone suspicious around here in the past few days.
." It would take at least a few days for the corpse to fall into the water and float to the surface. In other words, a few days ago, when Concubine Yu found out that Xiao Quanzi and the two were missing, they had already been killed, but they were just sunk at the bottom of the water and no one knew about them.
After arranging things, Hongli walked to Xianyue and said warmly: "It's cold outside and you haven't been in good health. Let Zhichun help you back first."
Xianyue said softly: "I'm fine. Besides, something big happened in the palace. Even if I go back, I won't feel at ease." She sighed softly and said, "I don't know what's going on recently.
Things happened one after another." As she said this, she said guiltily: "I should have shared the emperor's worries, but in the end, I kept disturbing the emperor again and again. I really shouldn't have!"
"Why do you say this? It's not that you want to cause trouble, it's that someone in this palace is unwilling to settle down!" Hongli looked at the two swollen corpses with cold eyes.
The discovery of the floating corpse in Linyuan Pond spread quickly, and people came from time to time. The first to arrive was the Huang family who lived in Chonghua Palace, the nearest place, followed closely by the Yehenala family.
Yehenala came close to Concubine Yu and whispered: "My Lady, what is going on?"
Concubine Yu shook her head with tears in her eyes and said, "I don't know. If the imperial concubine hadn't sent someone to tell me, I wouldn't have known that Dongmei and the others were dead. I always thought that they left the palace privately.
Ugh...who is so cruel that he actually killed them like this?"
Although Yehenala was on the same side as her, the Baofu matter was of great importance and she would never tell others unless necessary; moreover, since Yehenala gave birth to her tenth prince,
I have inappropriate thoughts in my heart, and I cannot talk about these things.
Yehenara did not doubt that he had it, and comforted him: "My dear, don't be too sad. The emperor is here and he will definitely find out about this matter."
While they were talking, Xia Qing also arrived here. Because she was pregnant with Liujia, she was afraid of facing the child in her belly, so she didn't get close. She only glanced at it from a distance and said to Xianyue: "Mother, these two are really in winter."
Mei and Xiaoquanzi?"
Xianyue nodded and said, "The face looks somewhat similar, and the features match exactly what Concubine Yu said, so there should be nothing wrong with her."
Huang interjected: "This is really strange. How could the two of them drown themselves in the water? If someone harmed them, it is unlikely."
Mrs. Hu glanced in the direction of Concubine Yu and whispered: "I see Concubine Yu looking towards the empress from time to time. Maybe she is suspecting that the empress killed her."
Before Xianyue could say anything, Huang already said: "How could the queen do this for no reason, but...if it wasn't us, who could it be? Is it possible that she really committed suicide?"
Xianyue frowned and said: "This matter is indeed weird in every aspect, I always feel..." Just halfway through her words, she saw Hongli walking over, and the voice of a palace official came from behind, "The Empress Dowager is here!
"
She quickly said: "Let's read on for now, there will always be a time when we understand."
Hongli passed over Xiayue and others who were bowing and came to Ling Ruo, who was walking slowly holding Yang Hai's hand, and said respectfully: "Why are you here, Queen?"
"Such a big thing happened in the palace. How could the Ai family not come over and take a look? This is the first time something like this has happened since Linyuan Pond was built for so long." Ling Ruo frowned and said, "How about it, has the identity been confirmed?
"
Hongli helped her walk and said: "When I return to Huang's mother, it has been confirmed that she is the palace servant next to Concubine Yu. My son has asked Si Xi to summon the concubine. She should arrive soon." The words just came out.
As soon as he got off, he saw Si Xi coming in with a short man in his forties. The two came to Hongli's side and knelt down to say hello.
After signaling them to get up, Hongli looked at the nervous man and said, "Is this a scumbag?"
Si Xi hurriedly said: "If you go back to the emperor, this person's name is Lin Gui, and he is the best widower in Shuntian Mansion."
Lin Gui entered the palace for the first time in his life, and saw the emperor and the queen mother for the first time. He was so panicked that he didn't even know what to say. It wasn't until Sixi urged him that he came back to his senses.
According to what Si Xi taught him on the road, he said: "Slave Lin Gui meets the Emperor and the Queen Mother. Long live the Emperor. Long live the Queen Mother. Thousands of years live the Queen Mother."
