Yu Liu rolled his eyes and said, "Master, are you talking about that hairpin?"
"Yes, if we don't take action, I'm afraid I will fall into her hands." With that said, Concubine Yu stood up and said, "Let's go to Qixiang Palace."
Yu Liuyi was startled and said: "Didn't the master ask his slave to throw that hairpin near Yanxi Palace? Why should he go to Qixiang Palace?"
Concubine Yu glanced at him and said coldly: "I asked you to throw it there, but I can't pick it up, otherwise it will easily arouse others' suspicion. Concubine Wan doesn't have much contact with me, and she is a rude person.
It was most appropriate that she accidentally picked up the hairpin."
Yu Liu suddenly understood and said quickly: "Master is wise, I will go and prepare the shoulder carriage right now."
Mrs. Chen heard the report from the palace people that Concubine Yu was coming. She quickly got up to greet her. After helping Concubine Yu sit down, she said in a serious voice: "I heard that your empress fainted due to sadness yesterday. Why don't you rest in the palace?"
Concubine Yu said sadly: "I also want to rest, but as soon as I close my eyes, I seem to see Dongmei and Xiao Quanzi standing in front of me, constantly telling me that they died miserably, let me
I quickly found the murderer for them, but now I have no clue at all. I... feel really uncomfortable, so I might as well go out for a walk."
Mrs. Chen sighed and said, "Oh, that's right. Miss Dongmei died so tragically. I don't know who could be so heartless as to do such a cruel thing." After that, she comforted her and said, "My dear, don't be too sad.
God has eyes, and I believe that I will be able to find the murderer of the two of them."
Concubine Yu nodded. After sitting and talking for a while, she stroked her chest and said, "I wonder if the charcoal here is too hot, Wanbi, and I feel a little stuffy. Why don't you go out for a walk with me, Wanbi?"
.”
Although Mrs. Chen didn't want to go out in the cold weather here, Concubine Yu spoke up and she couldn't refuse, so she had to go out together.
Under the intentional guidance of Concubine Yu, the two came to the vicinity of Yanxi Palace. Concubine Yu winked at Yu Liu, who said knowingly: "When I think of what Guiren Xia said, I feel very angry.
"
Concubine Yu glared at him and said, "Things have already happened, why are you still talking about what to do? Isn't it because you think I'm not troubled enough?"
Mrs. Chen asked curiously: "What did Xia Guiren say?"
Yu Liu lowered his head and said: "Replying to Concubine Wan, Guiren Xia just came to visit the master with the imperial concubine and Concubine Yi. The master originally thought that she meant well, but unexpectedly, Guiren Xia kept saying that Dongmei and Xiao Quanzi were harmed by the master.
Dead; think about it, the two of them have served their master for more than ten years, and the master treats them like relatives.
After the news of their death, the master has been crying, and has no food and no sleep. However, he is still being said like this. Not to mention the master, he is a slave. It is incredible that the imperial concubine and concubine Yi are still helping.
Mr. Xia, you said it was an unintentional remark and asked the master not to take it seriously, but as I slave saw, she actually meant it."
Mrs. Chen was surprised and said: "There is such a thing. This lady Xia is really too much. How could she say such a thing?"
Concubine Yu said sadly: "Forget it, don't say it anymore, I only have one wish now, which is to find the murderer of Dongmei and the two, so that they can rest in peace in heaven."
"I will definitely do it." After saying this, Mrs. Chen said: "Mother, we have been out for a long time. I will accompany you back to Xianfu Palace to avoid catching a cold."
"That's fine." Concubine Yu nodded and was about to leave. The wrist of her left hand suddenly loosened, and then all the beads fell to the ground. She exclaimed in shock: "My jade bracelet, which is so good, suddenly got disconnected.
? Yu Liu, hurry up and pick it up for me."
Yu Liu responded and hurriedly leaned over to pick up the jade beads, but he only picked up eleven. According to Concubine Yu, there were eighteen in the whole bracelet, which meant that seven were missing.
pellets.
Concubine Yu shouted anxiously: "What are the remaining ones? Hurry up and get them back. If one is missing, don't even come to see me."
Seeing that Concubine Yu was anxious, Mrs. Chen comforted her and said, "Don't worry, Madam. The remaining ones are probably rolled into the grass on both sides. As long as you look carefully, you will definitely find them." After that, she said to the palace attendant next to her:
"Yuan Xiang, why don't you hurry up and help Eunuch Yu look for it."
"Yes." Yuan Xiang agreed and helped Yu Liu search among the grass. They found six of them one after another, but they couldn't find the remaining one.
Yu Liu said doubtfully: "It's strange, we've searched all over here, but we can't find it. Where did it go? If we really can't find it, how can I... how can I explain it to the master?"
Yuan Xiang said from the side: "I think it has rolled far away. Let's go to a farther place and have a look. Don't worry, we will definitely find it as long as we are near here."
Yu Liu nodded gratefully, and he and Yuan Xiang walked farther away to poke at the grass in search of the last bead. After an unknown amount of time, Yuan Xiang suddenly heard an exclamation, attracting everyone's attention.
Mrs. Chen spoke up: "Yuanxiang, did you find the beads belonging to Concubine Yu?"
Hearing Chen's words, Yuan Xiang came to her senses, stood up and came to Chen's side, saying with a horrified expression: "Returning to the master, I didn't find the beads, but... I found a silver hairpin, and the hairpin looked like...
…There seems to be blood.”
Before Mrs. Chen could react, Concubine Yu shouted in shock: "What did you say? Say it again!"
Yuan Xiang looked at Concubine Yu in confusion, wondering why she had such a reaction. Under Concubine Yu's urging, she repeated what she just said. Concubine Yu said nothing and just walked quickly to where she was just now.
, leaned over and picked up Yuan Xiang from the grass.
The silver hairpin she was talking about was indeed stained with black and red dried blood. She murmured something she didn't know she was talking about. Mrs. Chen walked to her side and listened sympathetically, and then she finally managed to hear out, "The hairpin...
Dongmei’s hairpin is actually here..."
Mrs. Chen was horrified and said: "Madam, you said this hairpin belongs to Dongmei? How...why is it here?"
Concubine Yu held the hairpin tightly and choked up: "I don't know, but I recognize this hairpin. I personally gave it to Dongmei. She liked to wear it often, and she also wore it on the day she disappeared, but
Her body is
When the Linyuan Pond was discovered, I didn't see it. I suspected that before Dongmei died, the murderer used this hairpin to torture her. At that time, the emperor sent people to salvage it from the pond, but he didn't expect to find it here."
"Here..." Mrs. Chen looked up and said in shock: "This is almost within the confines of the Yanxi Palace. Could it be... that she is the imperial concubine?"
At this point, she suddenly said: "By the way, the Queen's bracelet has been fine for so long, but it broke for no reason just now. Could it be that Dongmei has a spirit in the sky, and she wants us to find her and harm her?"
