Chapter 37 The princess who died in the secret room (2)
Meng Hui couldn't help but think of the palace fighting novels and TV series I had read before my death. In the palace, it seemed that people would die at any time. They would fall into the pond in the garden. They would always have to eat a meal and be splashed with tea. When changing clothes, they would have to break in...
These situations made her feel very upset! If she encounters unlucky, can she solve the problem according to the methods in novels and TV series? It would be great that there is an Internet in this dynasty. Netizens on Zhihu Weibo are the most enthusiastic. When she encounters difficulties, she can post online and other solutions.
After a while of random thoughts, Meng Hui still felt a sense of fear of the palace.
She looked at the sky speechlessly, begging the God of this world to be a little polite for the sake of the King of Hell, so that she could complete the task quietly.
"What's wrong with the princess? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Chen Xiang noticed her face wrong and quickly stepped forward to hold her hand.
Even the maid is so alert, it’s really impossible to relax! Meng Hui breathed a deep sigh of relief, tried to calm down, and smiled bitterly. "I’m fine, I just remembered Sister Pingyang as soon as I arrived in the palace."
"Oh," Zitan, who was standing beside her, felt relieved when she saw that she was not feeling unwell, and then sighed, "The princess is mourning. The adults from Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice are still investigating. When the real murderer is found, the emperor will definitely handle it strictly and seek justice for the princess."
"Yes, princess, don't think too much, it hurts your mind carefully. If you are unwell and see the Queen and the Queen of Liang, they will have to worry about you in turn." Chenxiang reminded him tactfully, which made Meng Hui's heart even tighter.
This time she entered the palace to comfort the concubine, not to cause trouble for the concubine. She should be lively and cheerful, so that she should not feel that she is not sad about the princess' death, nor is she too sad, which will make the atmosphere in the palace bad.
Life is like a play and depends entirely on acting skills. In the palace, you must show your acting skills that can win an Oscar. Meng Hui walked towards the Queen's Fengyi Palace surrounded by a group of maids.
The emperor has become less ill of women in recent years, and there are not many concubines in the harem who survived. Compared with previous emperors, the offspring seem to be a little scarce.
In the harem, except for the queen, only the Liang Concubine has the most noble status. The other three concubines have always been empty and have not been supplemented for a long time.
The queen used to have one son and one daughter, and both of them died of smallpox and had no children since then. She had no intention of bringing any prince into her knees.
There are eight princes in the palace, including Sun Yian, and there are nine princesses. Generally speaking, the queen treats people equally and impartially, but because she has a good relationship with Liang Fei, she is a little more doting on Sun Yian.
Sun Yian's death made the queen feel a little sick. She insisted on cooperating with the investigation of the case and clearing the harem, but unfortunately there was no result.
"Princess, it's been a month since the case has not made any progress?" Chen Xiang walked beside Meng Hui and muttered almost silently.
Meng Hui whispered: "Who knows whether there is no progress in real or no progress in fake news? There is no news at all. We don't know what the situation is in the palace now. Maybe there has been some new clues, but it has not reached our ears yet."
The emperor was so angry that he didn't want to say anything. He was scary with a stern face all day long, and he didn't even want to see his brother. The Xianwang Mansion has not received the latest news so far. Meng Hui's eyes were dark when he entered the palace this time. When she talked about this mission, she immediately felt weak, helpless, and pitiful...
The case of a secret room was complicated enough, but it was still a secret room in the palace. With her identity, it was completely impossible to investigate the case.
"I just can't figure it out. Princess Pingyang has never made a mortal enemy with anyone. Who would be so cruel? Besides, it was a move in Changning Palace. This is the princess' own territory! She is so brave! Princess, would you be the master of which palace?"
Zitan leaned into Meng Hui's ear, her voice was smaller than that of a mosquito, and only Meng Hui and Chenxiang could hear her words.
Meng thought about it and found that in fact, there were many people who did not deal with Sun Yian, and the one who did not deal with the most was the eldest prince's concubine. The two had been grievances for many years because of trivial matters, and they had no good looks on each other.
But Meng Hui felt that this little revenge would be almost done if we usually find fault with each other, and we would not have to kill each other.
"The person who dares to do this must have a low status. As for the reason for the action... it is not necessarily for Sister Pingyang."
The palace struggles were complicated and there were many parties, so she had to suspect that this might be for the high-ranking concubine or the third prince.
The deeper the palace, the more waiters were coming and going around. Agarwood and Rosewood no longer spoke. The group took small steps quietly and looked like a long snake crawling from a high place.
The palace is majestic and grand, with a view along the way. Meng Hui felt that the palace here was a little similar to the Forbidden City I had seen online. After a closer look, the architectural shapes were very different. There were many carved animals, flowers and plants that could not be recognized, and it was obviously something unique to this strange dynasty.
Meng Hui forced himself to look ahead and watch the scenery in the distance to relieve tension. When he came outside Fengyi Palace, the tension he had just entered the palace finally disappeared.
"Princess Qinghe is here--" The high voice of the servant at the door reached the inner hall. Meng Hui walked through the rows of maids and walked slowly in amid the greetings.
In the bright and spacious hall, there are several huge ice sculptures, emitting a hint of cool air. The heat outside suddenly disappeared, making Meng Hui, who was restless and restless, gradually calming down.
While observing with her eyes, she began to kneel down and worship the queen sitting in a high position according to the rules she remembered.
"Good boy, get up and talk." The queen was graceful and elegant, with a calm and gentle look, and had no insidiousness in the palace fighting novel.
Meng Hui discovered that her face was still haggard and pale after illness, and she was much thinner than in her memory. She was obviously hurting Sun Yian's affairs.
"How is your father and mother good? You must be reluctant to leave you for so long, right?"
Meng Hui sat down under her gentle gaze, gradually eliminating her tension, and responded to Sun Youyi's usual state: "Where can you do it? Mother wishes me to learn more rules with the Empress."
The queen nodded with a smile and said with regret: "What a pity, I can't keep you this time. You have to go to Liang Fei to accompany her for a lifetime." She said as she restrained her smile and sighed softly, "Liang Fei has been in a daze recently, so you have to cheer up."
Meng Hui's heart skipped a beat, and his mind was in a daze? The deep meaning of this word in the palace is that it is not far from being crazy!
