Chapter six hundred and eighty seventh Qinglan's death
Murong Hui sneered in her heart. She could see that the old concubine Ling was so attentive to her. This kind of attentiveness had long been exceeded, and there must be other reasons.
Fortunately, Old Concubine Ling is not a heart-warming person. She exposed her inner thoughts so quickly, which saved her a lot of suspicion.
"Tell me that Mr. Ling is just as beautiful as a concubine, and I want to come and need a marriage more than me."
Murong Hui said it tactfully, but she felt that she had already said it clearly enough.
The nanny's expression froze for a moment. She stopped being slow and hurriedly withdrew from the East Side Hall.
"Let me find someone to follow her and see who she has more contact with in the palace."
She suspected that there was a soft princess behind this incident, and the woman seemed to particularly not want her to stay in the palace.
Madam Huang responded and hurriedly arranged for someone to do business.
"Your Highness, although the purpose of the Old Concubine Ling is not pure, the things are still good. Why not put them away?"
Madam Zhang looked at the many gifts and turned to Murong Hui, as if she was asking for her opinions.
"After registering and sending it to the warehouse."
Murong Hui didn't even read those things, so she picked up the book and continued reading.
Madam Zhang responded and ordered someone to register, while she continued to stay with Murong Hui in the bedroom.
"Your Highness, the girls in the study are coming to see you. Do you want to see me?"
At this time, Qingyan walked in and said in a low voice to Murong Hui.
This surprised her. After all, she was in the study room, except Gao Ziyue and Xu Qing, and no one else had much contact. These people would even come to see her.
"These who encouraged Gao Ziyue and Xu Qing to ride a horse yesterday were punished by the Queen. They both knelt in Baohua Hall to pray for you, but they thought they had just been released."
Madam Huang came over to remind him at this time.
Only then did Murong Hui understand what she meant, these people were all accomplices.
When they first planned to plot against Murong Hui, their thoughts might be that they felt that Murong Hui was dead this time, and once they were found out, they would just die unexpectedly.
No matter what, they can't be found, and they will most likely not be affected.
But Murong Hui is not dead now, and they are still punished very badly, and they are mostly scared.
That's why I wanted to come over and see what Murong Hui's attitude towards them.
"Let them go back and tell them to be more peaceful in the future. If I have this, I will definitely not let them go."
Murong Hui put the book aside and said impatiently.
She realized that she must be in no mood to study today, so she simply asked Madam Huang to support her and go around and get some breath.
Several girls had been kneeling all night, but now they have been standing outside for so long, and they are about to faint, and they have achieved such a result.
They were naturally angry, but they did not dare to have an attack in the palace. After being sent home, three of them fell ill that day.
"Empress, there is another princess among them. She is just following the trouble. Do you think the punishment is too heavy?"
After the nanny learned about this, she tactfully mentioned to Lin Yingxue that she felt that although Murong Hui was close to the Empress and was a princess, other noble girls were also very precious.
Not everyone wants to murder the princess, so Lin Yingxue shouldn't have beaten everyone up in one fell swoop.
"I know what you mean, but the state has national laws and the palace rules. Since they have made mistakes, they should be punished. If they have special status, they will treat them with special advantages. In the future, they will definitely return to the sick girl's house and notify them that they do not have to go to the palace to study before they recover."
Lin Yingxue put down the account book in her hand and said impatiently.
Although she didn't know who she was and wanted to target Murong Hui, she was so ruthless that if she didn't curb her, she might come up with more sinister tricks in the future.
Therefore, she felt that this should be used to kill the chicken and warn the monkey, so that everyone who wanted to plot against Murong Hui would consider it when they had evil thoughts.
When the nanny beside her heard it, she knew that Lin Yingxue had made up her mind. She simply stopped persuading her and responded, and asked the people below to go to each family to inform her.
Because of this reason, when Murong Hui came to Shangshang again three days later, she saw that the number of people in Shangshang was fewer than before.
Everyone looked at her with fear, fearing that they would be driven out of the study because of Murong Hui.
Seeing their reaction, Gao Ziyue couldn't help but sneer and said lightly: "If you don't do anything bad, there is nothing to hide from. Unless you do something bad, you are worried that you will be liquidated."
Her words made the noble girls' faces pale, and there was a mentally fragile person who even cried out.
Murong Hui didn't even look at them, so she started practicing calligraphy quietly, waiting for the father and son to come to class.
Although she had been resting for three days, she was still feeling a little uncomfortable. Therefore, on the next day, she did not attend the birthday party of the old concubine Ling, but embroidered fireworks in Ningcui Palace with Gao Ziyue and Xu Qing.
She was in a bad spirit, but after half an hour of embroidery, she sat aside and rested, watching Xu Qing and Gao Ziyue playing and continuing to embroider embroidery.
It was not until ten o'clock that she returned to the East Palace.
"Your Highness, you asked the old slave to send him to follow the palace maids of the Prince Ling's Mansion a few days ago, but you haven't come back yet."
Unexpectedly, she heard such news as soon as she returned to the East Parting Hall.
Murong Hui couldn't help but be stunned. She originally thought that Madam Huang didn't mention this because the Madam didn't contact the people in the palace, so there was nothing to say.
But she didn't expect that things were much more serious than she thought.
"Why do you only say it now!"
Murong Hui stood up with anger on her face. She felt that the fact that Madam Huang did this time was too inappropriate.
"The palace maid is too young, so the old slave thought she was playing tricks on the road, so she didn't come back in time. Unexpectedly, after an afternoon, she still didn't come back, so the old slave sent someone out to find her."
Madam Huang rubbed her hands and looked at Murong Hui nervously. She knew that she had messed up the matter, but she had to bite the bullet and say, "I sent a lot of people to search for it within the entire palace, but I still couldn't find her."
Murong Hui was silent for a moment, suddenly thought of a place, and turned around and asked, "Have you found Huxinlin?"
Madam Huang couldn't help but be stunned. Huxinlin was too remote, and she had indeed never sent anyone to search there.
"Then send some people to see there."
Murong Hui felt a sense of coldness in her heart, and she felt that this palace maid was in danger.
Madam Huang hurriedly ordered someone to look for it, but Murong Hui was so restless that she wandered around the small living room. She couldn't help but feel a little regretful and asked someone to follow the madam.
The palace seems magnificent, but in fact there is danger everywhere. A little palace maid who recklessly goes to follow people will definitely not have any good ending.
Because of this, she was depressed all afternoon until it was getting darker, and only then did she see Madam Huang walking into the small living room with a pale face.
"The body was found?"
Murong Hui looked at her calmly. When she saw her face like this, she knew that things must be similar to what she guessed.
"Your Highness guessed it right. Qinglan's body was found in the middle of the lake, and she still held this in her hand."
As Madam Huang said, she spread her palms and a red tassel was lying on the palms.
"This material should be very long-lasting in the palace."
Murong Hui looked carefully and found that the material of this tassel was not expensive and many people in the palace could afford it.
Just relying on a tassel to find the murderer, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"That's right, the old slave has buried Qinglan, and only told the outside world that this girl is in a state of emergency."
Madam Huang sighed, feeling very sorry. After all, Qinglan was always with her. This palace maid is smart and will definitely be able to stand alone in time.
However, she didn't expect that she would die like this today. While she felt regretful, she felt a little angry.
"This kind of thing is not uncommon in the palace. It is difficult to find the murderer. We need to be a little patient. Since this murderer is targeting the Eastern Palace, he will take action sooner or later."
Putting down the tea bowl in his hand, Murong Hui stared at the dinner all over the table, but she had no appetite at all.
Madam Huang responded, but she was in a very heavy mood. After a while, she persuaded Murong Hui and asked her to eat more.
"I don't have much appetite. Madam Zhang went to the imperial kitchen to ask for some ingredients. I will learn cooking later."
Because she was sick, she hadn't learned to cook for several days. Now she couldn't calm down and would definitely not have the heart to study. She simply asked herself to find something to do so, so she would not always think about it and feel even more irritable.
Madam Zhang responded and ordered someone to bring the food to the kitchen to heat it up. When Murong Hui wanted to eat it, she would take it out to eat it.
She originally thought that there was only a palace maid in the East Parting Palace and could not make any splashes in the palace, but when she went to Fengyi Palace to pay her respects the next morning, she was still asked about this.
"I heard that there is a palace maid in your palace who is sick and gone after an emergency. Have you ever had contact with her before? I'll find an imperial physician to carefully treat it later, so don't get sick."
Lin Yingxue really cares about her body, so Murong Hui couldn't say anything, so she had to nod and respond.
After the imperial physician came, she obediently reached out and asked the imperial physician to take her pulse, waiting for the imperial physician to prescribe medicine for her.
"Under your highness's current physical condition, you don't have to take medicine anymore. Just take some supplements to enhance your physical fitness. It's three parts poisonous. Taking too much medicine is not good for your highness."
After the imperial physician finished speaking respectfully, Lin Yingxue breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the imperial physician to go down and receive the reward. She asked the nanny to prepare more supplements for Murong Hui to take back.
"I don't need to be an aunt. A few days ago, Old Concubine Ling sent someone to send some supplements to Hui'er, but Hui'er hasn't eaten it yet."
Murong Hui shook her head quickly. Although the supplements are expensive, she doesn't like to eat them much. Moreover, Lin Yingxue worked hard all day long, and actually needed to nourish her body more than her.
"It's her wish to give it to the concubine. Just keep it. I still want to give it to you. You can take more supplements to maintain your health."
