Chapter 390 The bitter peach is dead

Return to the Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

The day before Yuanzheng, the palace was filled with a happy and joyful atmosphere. The lanterns that Yuanzheng had to set up on the day were also transported in. The paper lanterns on the eaves of the major palaces were specially replaced with festive red.

The palace maids also changed into goose yellow and orange-red clothes, and the rouge on their faces was a little thicker. As the two most important concubines in the harem, Empress Wei and Shangguan Wan'er were no less. As the days came, they displayed all the decorations they had prepared before, trying to make their palace the most dazzling place in the imperial city.

In terms of the size of the palace, Feixian Pavilion and the main palace of the central palace are naturally incomparable. However, Shangguan Zhaorong is also a person who is unwilling to fall behind.

If he is not as big as his size, he will be competing for aesthetics. Shangguan grew up in the palace. After several dynasties, he has been well-read in poetry and books, and has his own opinions on aesthetics.

Under her command, the entire palace of Feixian Pavilion was disguised as warm orange, which looked both warm and festive, and unique.

The palace was lively and everyone's face was filled with happiness, but the atmosphere of the Prince's East Palace, separated from the walls of the palace, was rarely solemn.

There is no sign of the beginning of all the festival arrangements that should be unfolded. The palace maids and servants in the house were worried. During the Chinese New Year, such a disaster occurred, which is not a good thing for the Eastern Palace.

This morning, someone found a female corpse deep in the back garden. Her neck was covered with purple and obviously strangled to death. She was wearing a gorgeous dress, but her face was hard to identify. No one knew this person at the East Palace in Chang'an.

Finally, she confirmed her identity through a jade pendant wrapped in her belt.

She is the prince’s recent favorite, Kutao.

Of course, it was impossible for the others in the East Palace to recognize her, and it was the prince himself who jumped out to recognize her.

Since the prince himself confirmed that there is nothing else to say to other idle people. They can only regret and disappointment, and maybe there is a little bit of pity that has dispersed.

There are also rumors among maids, and everyone is wondering where the prince’s favorite pet came from.

Why have I never seen it before?

Several little maids were talking happily in the kitchen and giggling constantly. They guessed that maybe Kutao had no eyesight and was rejected by the prince, so they suffered such a disaster.

This must have happened when they arrived in Chang'an, so it can explain why no one has seen her.

Some people also suspect that the prince has been in Chang'an for almost a month. If he arrived at the Eastern Palace, the person would die, so how could the body be so fresh?

They did not smell at all, nor turned into bones. How could this be possible? Although they did not have intelligence, they still had common sense and doubts emerged one after another.

As the conversation was about the excitement, Xue Qing stepped in. Seeing Xue Qing's figure, the young ladies immediately closed their mouths and dared not speak again.

Xue Qing had a serious expression and walked into the kitchen without saying a word. Of course, she didn't have to come here in person with a maid of her level, but this time, the situation was different.

According to Li Jun's instructions, she and Acheng should always pay attention to the movements between the maid and the servant. Any rumors must be stopped harshly.

At this point, the scene was not over yet. Because the woman was strangled to death, Li Jun threatened that the house was not safe and someone must have murdered her. Therefore, a search was launched in the vast East Palace.

Therefore, all the preparations for the New Year were stopped, and Li Jun had already thought about it. If this scene could not be finished for a while, he would not have entertainment activities tomorrow, so he simply wrote to Li Xian to call for frugality to celebrate the festival.

Maybe you can get rewards.

Of course, this woman is not Kutao. Kutao is still crazy in Luoyang. She is the spy Yuling carefully selected by Li Jun last night.

As soon as Wu Yanxiu's letter came, he was in trouble. What should he do? He could not think of a good idea. After Yao Kui, a clever ghost, came, he really brought a good idea.

Kutao was crazy and absolutely could not let her show up. Wu Yanxiu's letter was very urgent. Not only did he order Kutao to reply to him immediately, but he also agreed to meet him in Pingkangfang on the second day of her rest.

Kutao was originally a woman of Fengchen, so it was normal to make an appointment in Pingkangfang. Yao Kui believed that the most urgent task now was to hold Wu Yanxiu down so that he could not act rashly.

At first, Li Jun thought that he might find a young lady to pretend to be Kutao and reply to Wu Yanxiu, delaying for a while and not going out to meet. When the big thing is done, no one cares about these irrelevant lies.

Li Jun was still too gentle. When Yao Kui heard this idea, he shook his head. If this happens, the East Palace will be guarded against Wu Yanxiu's spy every day.

You know, he arranged Kutao into the East Palace with a mission. Now he contacted Kutao, he must have planned to start the plan, so he will not give up until he achieves his goal.

Before, in Luoyang, they could still have a shot, but now, according to the development of the situation, they may not be able to delay it.

If Wu Yanxiu doesn't reply normally, or even meet him quickly, he will definitely be anxious and find an opportunity to send someone to continue the plan.

They all knew what Wu Yanxiu’s plan was. Now that those things are in Wumingzi’s hands, they have long been to where it should go according to Li Jun’s arrangement.

If everything is arranged properly, it depends on when Li Jun wants to start a crime. Since this is the case, it is better to take the initiative.

Li Daitao Zhuan's plan was his contribution.

Among the many spies arranged by Wu Sansi, there were two maids. After Li Jun personally checked them, he found that Yuling and Kutao were of the same size, and even their faces were very similar. He immediately decided to use this person instead of Kutao.

Of course, it plays the role of the dead Kutao.

Li Jun changed her into the gorgeous clothes of a palace wife, and then ordered the guards to take action. He did not feel much guilt about this. He found that as he spent more and more time in the Tang Dynasty, his heart became harder and harder.

In just half a year, he has seen too many fighting and death, which is not uncommon, especially in this treacherous court.

Furthermore, these people are Wu Sansi's servants. If they are left alone, Li Jun himself will be the one who is unlucky in the end.

After the woman died, he took off a piece of his jade pendant and put it in her belt. This was also a little compensation for her. This jade pendant would be buried with her.

When the woman's problem was solved, he began to take the second step.

You have to find a murderer!

He pretended to be a fool between the courtyards of the East Palace, looking at this and that from time to time, as if he was really going to find something.

The other servants also started to work hard and checked in various halls and wings. Soon, they discovered it.

A priceless Qibao Hu bed in the treasury disappeared, and everyone seemed to realize that the woman's death was related to something.
