Chapter 40 Is it Concubine Shu?
After Chen Sichen used the corner of his clothes to erase the neck of Yue Guiren's neck, he saw a long mark on Yue Guiren's neck.
The two of them looked at each other tacitly, and a vague picture flashed through Ruan Li's mind.
"If there are traces on the neck, then we can go and see Yue Guiren's room now."
Ruan Li seemed to have thought of some important clues: "Chen Sichen, hurry up, go and guard Yue Guiren strictly. She must know something and can't let her die like this."
That day she met the people from Hell Gate in Shen’s mansion. Although the people from Hell Gate were not for her that time, it was obvious that in Kyoto, someone could contact the people from Hell Gate, and even use the power of Hell Gate.
"But, you're alone."
After hearing her words, Chen Sichen still didn't move, looking at Ruan Li with a worried look on his face.
"Chen Sichen, I'm fine. Besides, I'll go and see Yue Guiren's palace. If you can do anything, don't worry."
After hearing her words, thinking that there were still Eleven and others to protect her, Chen Sichen no longer hesitated and took Xiao He and Anan away with great strides.
Ruan Li quickly took Zi Yu to Yue Guiren's palace.
Concubine Yue is just a small nobleman, and her palace is naturally not as luxurious as the palace of Concubine Shu and the simplicity and grandeur in the palace of the Queen. Her room is full of elegance, and even the flowers next to her are extremely elegant Yuelan.
No, Yue Guiren’s yard is full of peach blossoms, so why is the house full of moon orchids?
She searched everywhere in Yue Guiren's dressing table, but she didn't let go of clues. Finally, she found a stack of handwritten rice paper on the dressing table below. The rice paper was placed inside, if not deep.
It's hard to find when you go in.
"Xuanlang, my father's order is hard to disobey. As soon as I enter the deep palace, I don't know when I will meet again. I hope to take care of you and do not be sad for me."
"Xuanlang, I have met the emperor today. He seems to look at another person through me. It turns out that the emperor is also a lover. I wish you peace of mind."
"Xuanlang, once he entered the deep palace, he couldn't help but become someone else's substitute. The emperor knew that I like Yuelan, but gave me peach blossoms all over the garden."
"Xuanlang, I'm fine, don't worry."
"Xuanlang, now I have to tell you something. I have a child, it is the emperor. I forgive Yue'er for not being able to protect you."
"Xuanlang, I seem to have seen the descendants of that woman. She looks very beautiful and may be my luck to be her substitute."
"Xuanlang, I know that my death is coming, and I want to meet you again. At noon tomorrow, I will find a way to let my palace maid meet you, and you can contact me through her."
The various things in the letter are short but also contain the torture and torture in Yue Guiren's heart. Word by word, it seems to be a ruthless accusation of the royal family, but in fact it is a compromise to his own destiny.
So these moon orchids are the flowers that Yue Guiren wants and likes.
Yuelan is a simple flower, which is very consistent with the nature of Yuegui.
However, the incense in the room was a little strong. Even though she didn't have much contact with Yue Guiren, she knew that according to Yue Guiren's temperament, it was unlikely that she would use such a strong incense.
However, there were traces on Yue Guiren's neck, which was obviously strangled from behind. Even if there was a problem, Xiangxiang would not have much impact unless the murderer committed a second crime.
Judging from all the situation at the scene, there were no traces of fighting on the scene, and it didn’t seem like there was a fierce struggle. Then one possibility was that the murderer was someone trusted by Yue Guiren.
If the person Yue Guiren trusts, the murderer may be Yue Guiren's palace maid.
But if the palace maid of Yue Guiren was the murderer, then what was the motive of her palace maid and who was instructed by her palace maid?
"Concubine Shu has arrived."
Just as she was about to continue looking for it, she suddenly heard someone outside the palace.
At this time, Concubine Shu is here to join in the fun?
"See Concubine Shu, I wonder what kind of expensive Empress Shu is here today?"
A bad premonition surged into her heart. She looked up at the Concubine Shu, but she always felt that Concubine Shu today was less agile and domineering than before, but was more mechanical and dull, just a puppet controlled by someone, and she could not tell much of her expression.
"I feel sorry for the passing of Concubine Yue. When Concubine Yue was still alive, I had a lot of interactions with her. I want to miss her in her palace."
"Miss Aruan is here today, but is she coming for her case?"
“That’s right.”
"Then Miss Aruan has taken a closer look. Don't end up being the murderer yourself. Here, the thief is calling to catch the thief."
Concubine Shu had an extremely strange smile on her face and walked in. Suddenly, she didn't know whether Concubine Shu intentionally or unintentionally actually knocked over the moon orchid flower pot placed on the windowsill.
The soil in the flower pot was scattered all over the ground. Yuelan, who had just become noble for a lifetime, was thrown to the ground in a blink of an eye, dying.
A trace of unhappiness flashed across Concubine Shu's face. She glanced at the ground and immediately asked someone to clean up. "Come on, come and take away all these Yuelans for me and throw them away."
As soon as she got the order, a large number of people came in and took the Yuelan away. However, it was the broken Yuelan. When she passed by Ruan Li, she noticed that the color of the soil had changed.
The color of the soil in this pot of Yuelan is slightly different from that of other soils. Logically speaking, the color of the soil should not be like this unless something different is added, especially the medicine.
After discovering this, Ruan Li remained silent and allowed the palace servants to take Yuelan away.
She knew that Concubine Shu came here today, perhaps to stop her from finding out the truth, or perhaps because she wanted her to give the blame.
But she didn't understand one thing: so many pots of Yuelan, but the inconspicuous Yuelan in the corner was knocked down by Concubine Shu. It felt like Concubine Shu was doing it intentionally, wanting to provide her with clues.
So, what role does Concubine Shu play in this matter?
On the other side, in Dali Temple.
Shen Sichen took the palace maid to Dali Temple. The prison in Dali Temple was filled with the sound of prisoners and the sound of torture instruments. All the prisoners stood up and looked at the escort of the palace maids with a slightly teasing look.
The palace maid didn't dare to raise her head. After seeing these vicious prisoners in the aftermath, she was so scared that she couldn't help but tremble.
"It's here, it's here."
Shen Sichen took the palace maid to a room full of torture instruments. There was a large cross in the middle, covered with blood.
“Go up.”
Anan stole the palace maid very seriously. The palace maid seemed to be stupid. She didn't react to anything and was already stole.
"You, you are using lynching."
The palace maid had a trembling voice, and her eyes were dodging at the living king of hell in front of her who could kill her at any time.
"Lynch? I, Chen Sichen, is the general personally appointed by the emperor, the legitimate son of the Marquis of Xuanping's Mansion, and my eldest sister is the empress of the mother who is in the world. I will use lynching today. What, do you think the emperor will pursue it?"
The palace maid stopped talking. She had known for having offended Miss A Ruan for a long time, and she would not have any good endings. She only asked that noble man to treat her family well.
"General Chen, if you want to kill me, you will be killed and cut. Even if you come, I don't know anything. Even if you kill me, I still don't know anything."
"Okay, there are ninety-ninety-eighty kinds of tortures in Dali Temple, you can take turns to do it."
Chen Sichen casually swept over the ninety-eighty torture instruments on the wall: "If you can't stand it and die in the middle, I don't mind letting your family ban you from all the remaining punishments."
When talking about family members, the palace maid obviously showed a different expression.
"General Chen, please let go of the little girl's family, they are innocent."
After hearing this, Chen Sichen curled his lips.
Sure enough, the purpose was achieved.
There is a rule in both Dali Temple and the army that if torture instruments are used, the civilians who have nothing to do with the case shall not be involved, nor shall they involve relatives and their homes related to the prisoners.
But it doesn't mean he can't use it to intimidate.
"As long as you explain the matter and explain the matter who is behind you, I will not involve your family, and I will also give your family a monthly support as compensation for you.
But if you don’t say it, you will ask your blessings to experience all the hardships that others have not experienced. As a child, you have not allowed them to enjoy the joy of family. Do you still have to let them suffer the test of death again?”
The palace maid gritted her teeth: "But, General Chen, you can't guarantee that you can protect my family. The people behind me are far more powerful than you imagined, and there is even a fact and existence that you will never believe."
"Then why can you guarantee that the people behind you will be kind to your family after you die? But, I can, if you say it, Aruan and I will definitely be kind to your family."
The palace maid hesitated when she heard this.
When her little master was still alive, she always heard her little master praise Miss Aruan. After hearing so much, she was willing to believe Miss Aruan.
She closed her eyes as if she had accepted her fate, and her mind was full of the deep affection of her little master for her.
She was put down by Chen Sichen, dipped her fingers into the pen and ink next to her, and prepared to write it on paper.
Just as she finished writing three o'clock water, a dart shot from behind her and penetrated her chest.
Chen Sichen subconsciously picked up his sword and jumped up, looking extremely defensive.
The other guards quickly chased after him, and there was a hint of noise in the quiet prison.
However, the man disappeared quickly, leaving no trace of him even without knowing who he was.
Looking at the radicals that the palace maid had written on the table, he subconsciously thought that the commander behind the scenes was Concubine Shu.
He sighed and looked at the palace maid underground, with an extremely dangerous gaze flashing in his eyes.
Unexpectedly, the idea came to his Ruan Ruan.
He ordered the palace maid to be buried in a good life and sent a large sum of money to her parents' house. Her parents thought she had made a name for themselves and were very pleased.
