Chapter 689 Xu Family
Murong Hui was a little disappointed, but she quickly calmed down. After all, even if the murderer didn't notice that his tassel accessories were damaged, he would not have run out and wandered around shortly after he finished killing.
Gao Ziyue and Xu Qing looked confused, and they didn't know what Madam Huang and Murong Hui were talking about.
However, the two of them continued to move forward without asking much questions.
But Murong Hui remembered Qinglan again because of this episode and was not in the mood to chat again.
After returning to the East Palace for an afternoon, Murong Hui calmed down from this negative emotion.
"Your Highness, don't think so much. As long as the murderer is still in the palace, we will always have a chance to find her. In a few months, the emperor and the empress are going to the palace? You will be the one who will assist in the palace affairs."
Madam Huang thought for a while before reminding her in a low voice.
"When the time comes, find an excuse and check the palace maids in the palace."
Murong Hui felt that the person who could wear this kind of red tassel must be a palace maid, so she locked the murderer on the palace maid.
"Your Highness is too simple to think. There are all kinds of people in this palace, and it is not necessarily the only palace maids who bring Liusu."
At this time, Madam Zhang, who was beside her, suddenly spoke, and her expression showed a bit of weirdness.
Madam Huang pushed her, and she hurriedly stopped, knowing that she had said too much just now.
"Anyway, let's think of a way together, and we can always come up with ideas to dig out the murderer."
Murong Hui sighed and then said helplessly.
Madam Huang and Madam Zhang nodded and looked at each other helplessly.
Murong Hui touched her chin, racked her brains to think, and then suddenly clapped her hands and said, "It's time to be a spring clothes, just start from this point."
Madam Huang nodded, thinking that this was indeed a good idea. She should measure the size of the palace maids when making new clothes, and let the people from the Shangfu Bureau pay attention to it, and it will definitely be found out.
"Don't alert the snake. Find some trustworthy people to mention this matter. If the murderer knows, she will definitely hide it deeper."
Seeing Madam Huang say this, Murong Hui immediately added.
"Your Highness, I have also asked someone to investigate this matter. The place is relatively remote, so there are not many people going there. There were only three people there that day, one of which was Qinglan."
At this time, Madam Zhang came over and added that she had found someone who was familiar with the imperial kitchen.
"Who are the other two?"
Murong Hui immediately asked nervously, one of these three must be the murderer, or two of them were the murderers.
"The people from the Royal Seating Room said that except for Qinglan, one of the palace maids in Jingshifang, the other eunuch came from. However, neither of them had red tassels on them."
Madam Zhang thought about it carefully and spoke with certainty.
After hearing this, Murong Hui couldn't help but wonder that under normal circumstances, people in Jingshifang would not be able to kill Qinglan.
Because Jingshifang is Murong Jun's people, they have no reason to do this, so the only eunuch who can do this is the only one who can do it.
"You go and find the person who has seen them again, take Qingyan with you, and ask her to draw the eunuch's portrait."
Since you can't find out your identity, you can simply draw the person's appearance so that you can find him sooner or later.
"I'll go and have someone do it now."
Madam Zhang hurriedly asked Qingyan to leave with her, while she helped Murong Hui prepare dinner in the kitchen.
"If I find someone who did it, I will definitely make her pay."
On weekdays, the people in the palace made small moves about her, but she wouldn't care at all, after all, they were all harmless things.
However, this time it was different. She even caused a death to death. She would never let the murderer go easily.
"Your Highness doesn't need to be angry. Now that you have clues, it's only a matter of time to find her."
Seeing that Murong Hui was still thinking too much, Madam Huang hurriedly reminded her.
Murong Hui finally recovered. She felt that she was thinking too much during this period, so she wanted to practice calligraphy more and calm her mood.
After practicing the word "Shou" for an hour, she was called out by Madam Zhang for dinner.
As soon as she sat at the table, she saw the little palace maid walking in as soon as she moved her chopsticks and said respectfully: "Your Highness, Miss Gao and Miss Xu are here to ask for you."
Murong Hui was a little surprised. It was already dark outside. They were almost resting at half of this hour. Why did they suddenly run over?
"Please come in."
She put down her chopsticks and said to the palace maid.
Soon, Gao Ziyue and Xu Qing walked in. Both of them were wearing cloaks and frost on their faces, as if they had been walking outside for a long time.
But in fact, Ningcui Palace is not far from the East Side Palace. They can sit in a sedan chair at this time, so why are they so embarrassed?
"What's wrong with you?"
Murong Hui asked someone to serve them soup and asked in confusion.
Gao Ziyue seemed to be so cold that she took a big sip of the soup before laughing.
Murong Hui was so confused by her smile that she was a little confused, but she breathed a sigh of relief.
She could still laugh, which means she ran over tonight, not because of something bad.
"Your Highness, I came here today to give you some money. The wine sold well this year. Just because you get these 30% of the money, you will be treated to you tomorrow."
After Gao Ziyue finished laughing, she took out a purse from her pocket, which seemed to have a lot of stuff in it.
Murong Hui opened the purse and saw a thick stack of silver notes inside.
"Your Highness, don't listen to her nonsense. We naturally cannot let you spend money."
Xu Qing shook her head, feeling that Gao Ziyue's brain was probably frozen today, so she didn't care about anything when she spoke.
"It's okay. Anyway, I don't have much chance to spend money on weekdays. I'll cover all the fees tomorrow. It's rare to go out, so I'll have to have fun for a day."
Murong Hui shook her head, but she didn't care. The girls went to visit places like temples and couldn't afford to spend a lot of money even if they could die.
"Where did you go just now?"
Seeing that they refused to tell what had happened just now, Murong Hui simply asked.
She didn't have to inquire about the private affairs of the two, but just wanted to ask roughly, and if there was something to help, she would help.
"I'm not a member of the Xu family. I said I wanted to deliver something to Sister Xu, so I accompanied her to wait in the study room early. I waited for an hour and a half before I delivered the thing. I didn't even eat dinner."
Gao Ziyue curled her lips. She didn't want to complain about Xu Qing, but she just felt that the Xu family was inappropriate in their work.
If half of her family wanted to deliver things to her, they would ask someone to deliver them directly to Ningcui Palace.
There is no need to wait outside by yourself, and it is so unpunctual, and you have to wait so long to deliver it every time.
"It's troublesome to deliver things to the palace, so it's normal for them to delay some time. I've said that you don't need to follow me, and you still want to go."
Xu Qing also understood that this was just her stepmother's behavior, and even if she did, she didn't want her to have a good time. She deliberately delayed the time and asked her to wait for a while longer.
But she didn't care about such a little bit of trouble. In her opinion, if her stepmother was willing to vent her anger on her and not to make things difficult for her brother, she would still be able to bear this anger.
"Isn't it enough to send a few palace maids to get things? Why do you have to go by yourself? Is it still important?"
Murong Hui naturally didn't know what she was thinking, so she asked in confusion.
"What's important? It's just some clothes, the materials are also very ordinary and cannot be worn in the palace."
When Gao Ziyue mentioned this, she even rolled her eyes and said disdainfully.
She naturally knew that this was Xu Qing's stepmother's work, so she didn't want to hide her dissatisfaction.
"I suddenly remembered a few new pieces this year, brightly colored materials, which are not convenient for me to use now. You will take them back to make some spring clothes later."
He asked the palace maid to get two extra pairs of bowls and chopsticks for the two of them, and then Murong Hui ordered Madam Huang to find the clothes.
According to the princess's example, she can get eight pieces of material every season, plus the gifts given by Lin Yingxue and other imperial concubines, she can receive at least twenty pieces each season.
But since it was given by someone else, there will inevitably be something that is not in line with your wishes.
Therefore, she received six pieces of red clothing just by taking all kinds of red clothing, and they all happened to be used for them.
Even though Gao Ziyue's family is well-off, she doesn't wear Shu Jin's clothes often. Therefore, when she saw the few precious clothes sent by Murong Hui, she was immediately happy and thanked Murong Hui.
Xu Qing's eyes turned red. Since her mother passed away, the two people in this world who care about her most are the ones in front of her.
She was a little moved, and the ice in her heart gradually melted.
The three of them had dinner together, and Gao Ziyue and Xu Qing hurriedly left with their clothes. Murong Hui couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the two of them leaving.
"Your Highness, I'm sorry, I'm frank, you are so good to these two companions. Sometimes you can't be too honest in life."
Madam Huang was afraid that Murong Hui would be in a hot mind, so she did something extraordinary in order to make her sisterly relationship, so she hurriedly reminded her in a low voice.
"You don't know what kind of character your highness is, so there is no need to worry so much."
Madam Zhang waved her hand and ordered people to take all the food down, and then went to the kitchen to make the snacks to eat at Xiangguo Temple tomorrow.
"Tomorrow I will go to Madam Lin's place and ask them to find out if there are any shops for sale in the good location. I will buy another one and rent them out, which will be a profit in the future."
After seeing someone leave, Murong Hui raised her head and said to Madam Huang.
Madam Huang actually didn't know why Murong Hui, who was a golden branch and a jade leaf, liked to save assets for her so much.
The princess's dowry was very generous. Both the emperor and the empress treated Murong Hui as her daughter, so she would not suffer any losses in the future.
But since Murong Hui insisted on doing this, she naturally would not stop her. Who would dislike her having too many assets?
"Your Highness is very good. The old slave will also ask an acquaintance outside the palace to help you see it. If there is a suitable farm or shop, I will tell you back."
Madam Huang has always been good at being a human being. Since Murong Hui has already said this, she naturally nodded and attached.
"Then count the silver today, go and take all the silver."
