Chapter 756: Gatekeeper of the Right Palace
“So…”
Another voice rang out in the hall that had been silent for a long time, and it was Tu Sheer’s. But even she didn't dare to continue talking after saying these two words. Everyone's eyes were filled with panic and a look of disbelief.
Because none of them believe that anyone dares to kill people in Qianqiu Palace!
Therefore, Jianchun could only have been killed near Chengqing Gate, so he tore off a cluster of pine branches before his death.
But in this way——
No one dared to say anything. Several pairs of eyes looked at Shang Ruyi, as if they were waiting for her to make a judgment. Although what the result should be, it was already known. Their hearts settled. On the contrary, Shang Ruyi kept frowning. After being silent for a long time, he looked up at Wuxue and said solemnly: "You have been there for so long, you should not only get this little bit of information."
< br>Hearing this, Tu Sheer and Chang Wan looked at Wuxue again.
Sure enough, Wuxue's pretty little face showed a tangled look again, but she didn't remain silent for too long. She just bit her lower lip and said, "I just went to Chengqing Gate specially. I asked a few patrolling guards to inquire. Because Chengqing Gate is under the jurisdiction of Chengqing Hall, the guards patrolling there are the guards from the right palace..."
"...! ”
Shang Ruyi immediately took a deep breath.
The gatekeeper of the right palace, also known as the gatekeeper of the right palace of the prince.
This official position had been settled before Yu Wenyuan won the victory in Taiyuan and returned to Chang'an to be canonized as the prince. Apparently at that time, Yu Wenyuan had already decided on the candidate for the prince's position, and the person who stayed in the East Palace of Wei for the prince The right palace gatekeeper is none other than Shang Ruyi’s eldest brother, Shang Shoufei!
That is to say——
This time Chang Wan could not help it, gritted his teeth and murmured: "Damn it."
Shang Ruyi glanced at her, then looked at Wuxue, who was frowning, and it was obvious that he returned to Qianqiu Palace after some inner struggle, and fell silent.
Although the matter is a bit complicated, it is not difficult to clarify - Jian Chun grabbed a cluster of pine branches before she died. In other words, she either died in Qianqiu Palace or at Chengqing Gate. If he died in Qianqiu Palace, then he would be blamed on himself, or even Yu Wenye; if he died in Chengqing Gate, which was under the control of the Guidong Palace Gate, no matter who did it, the responsibility would fall on Shang Shoufei.
As for Shang Shoufei, no matter how unwilling Shang Ruyi is to have anything to do with him, they are still brothers and sisters!
As for the dead palace maid Jianchun, it is also related to the fact that King Qin’s concubine in Jinyuyuan poisoned Princess Qin.
In other words, no matter how you calculate it, the source of the matter will fall on Princess Qin!
Chang Wan's "damn it" was an understatement.
Tu Sheer thought for a long time, but really couldn't swallow this breath, and he really didn't want to watch them reach a dead end. He couldn't help but said softly: "Although the Chengqing Gate is managed by the right palace gate, But that side is also within the scope of Chengqian Palace—"
Changwan. Frowning, he said softly: "Then you can't touch it."
Chengqing Gate is related to Shang Shoufei. If the matter gets serious and the emperor knows about it, Yu Wenyuan will refute Shang Ruyi's suggestion. To save face, kill Shang Shoufei - this may even be the best solution at hand.
The inheritance of the Qian Palace is related to the prince.
In other words, the prince was related to the palace maid named Jian Chun, and then Jian Chun participated in the poisoning of Princess Qin.
Regardless of the merits of this case, the emperor will never allow it to happen, or even make it big, because this is not only jealousy between two women, but also the means. It is related to the harmony between the princes and the palace scandal of the feud between brothers.
So, whoever involves the prince will be punished with added guilt!
At this time, Wuxue whispered again: "Besides those, I also asked one more thing."
Shang Ruyi raised his head and looked at her, and said as calmly as possible: " What else? ”
Wuxue said: "The ones who discovered Jian Chun's body were the two palace maids who were working in Baifu Hall. They were responsible for cleaning up some unwanted fruits and vegetables after the banquet. I heard that they were lazy and secretly put those things into the mouth. Pour in a dry well, once every two days."
"Pour once every two days?"
Shang Ruyi frowned again when he heard this.
However, from the time when I discovered that there was something wrong with the hawthorn cake sent by Chu Ruoyan, to when I couldn’t find Jianchun in Jinyuyuan, today is already the fourth day. If Jianchun is causing trouble, If she was killed on the same day, the person who poured things into the dry well should have found her body the next day!
Shang Ruyi said: "What do you mean-"
Wuxue said: "This slave can tell that Jianchun definitely didn't die just these two days. She should have been killed and her body hidden in some other inconspicuous place. She waited until yesterday or today before being thrown there." In a dry well, he was discovered immediately."
Shang Ruyi thought for a while and said: "Yes. That is to say, the person who ordered her and killed her deliberately left two days blank to see my reaction? "
What if Princess Qin was poisoned, or if she was not poisoned, but there were clues? , and started arguing with Mrs. Chu, then it wouldn't matter where or how Jianchun's body was found.
But after waiting for two days, there was no movement from Qianqiu Palace or Jinyuyuan. The other party was sure that their first step plan had failed, so they took out Jianchun's body again and deliberately placed it in front of them. It seems to be a hidden place, but it can be discovered immediately. In this way, the "clues" on her body will be discovered naturally.
And Aunt Hui just said deliberately in front of Wuxue that she would judge that Jianchun's death was just a mistake and fell into the well. She was deliberately provoking Woxue so that she would do something or make her come back anxiously to report to the merchant. Ruyi, let Shang Ruyi do something, in this way, the matter will become a big deal, and the final result will be returned to Qianqiu Palace, and Yu Wenye can really be blamed for lax management of the family!
The man behind him has a meticulous mind and a sharp eye! Although Aunt Hui is also an extremely thoughtful person, judging from her previous methods, it is obvious that she has not been able to take such a sinister step.
Currently, it seems that the person who can do all this——
Shang Ruyi’s face suddenly darkened.
Tu Sheer asked worriedly: "Princess, what should we do next?"
"..."
Shang Ruyi was silent for a long time and said: "There are still some things that I have to think about clearly. She'er, please keep your eyes outside. If there is any movement from Aunt Hui's side, come immediately. Report to me."
"Yes."
"Wuxue Changwan, you two will go down first."
After sending the three of them away, Shang Ruyi didn't say anything anymore. He just sat quietly on the couch alone, listening to the wind outside blowing through the pine branches from time to time, making a rustling sound. The longer it goes on, the longer it seems.
During such a long wait, she finally heard familiar footsteps.
Shang Ruyi raised his head and finally saw Yu Wenye. He came back from outside with a solemn expression. As soon as he entered the hall, he said in a deep voice: "I heard that Jian Chun was found in Baifu Hall. "The corpse?"
It seems that there are people on his side reporting the situation in the palace at any time.
Shang Ruyi nodded, held his hand and sat down, and then told him everything that happened during the day.
Perhaps when he learned that Jian Chun's body had been found, Yu Wenye had already sketched out some possibilities in his mind, so his expression was not too shaken. But when he actually heard Shang Ruyi talk about the clues that Woxue had found, His eyebrows were still slightly frowned.
After listening, he said almost immediately: "It has nothing to do with the prince."
Shang Ruyi glanced at him.
His tone was the same as before when he was sure that the poisoning was not done by Chu Ruoyan, as if he could get the result directly without thinking or judging. However, Shang Ruyi also knew about Chu Ruoyan's incident, but the prince...
Shang Ruyi said: "The prince -"
Yu Wenye glanced at her with a complicated expression, wondering if it was Shang Ruyi's misunderstanding. Deep in his eyes, there seemed to be a hint of anger, but it passed away in a flash: "He won't treat you - right We use this method."
"..."
Shang Ruyi was silent for a while and just nodded silently.
Although Yuwen Sui won a complete victory in the battle of Taiyuan this time, it also allowed people to see the decisive side of His Royal Highness the Prince who once "mistakenly wore a monk's robe as a war robe" on the battlefield, but regardless of No matter how decisive the killing was, no matter what stage the overt and covert struggle between him and Yu Wenye reached, except for the underhanded methods used by Yu Mingyue, he seemed to have never used any unscrupulous tricks.
Even in the battle of Fufeng, he not only gave them sachets to prevent the plague in advance, but also personally sent the special veil to Shang Ruyi.
Such a person is indeed unlikely to use that method to deal with a pregnant woman.
At this time, after Yu Wenye was silent for a long time, he murmured again: "The right palace gatekeeper..."
Shang Ruyi said: "You think Shang Shou is not him, you have a problem? ”
In fact, while waiting for Yu Wenye to come back, she had been thinking about this matter in her heart. Before, it was because she couldn't care about it, but now Jian Chun is very likely to die near Chengqing Gate, so she can't Don't think of Shang Shoufei. You must know that the right palace gatekeeper is the prince's right prison gatekeeper, who lives in the east palace of the Weiwei. If he takes this official position, he will be placed on the side of the prince.
However, his surname is Shang, and he is the brother of Princess Shang Ruyi of Qin!
Accepting this official position, to put it bluntly in military terms, means surrendering to the enemy!
Now, the matter involves him again——
I saw Yu Wenye pondering for a long time, and finally said: "Actually, I have been asking about something these days, and I went there today Officials, just figured it out.”
Officials?
Shang Ruyi was a little surprised when he heard this and looked at him: "What did you go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to investigate?"
Yu Wenye took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Although Shang Shoufei met my father in the name of your brother, it was Duke Wushan who recommended him to be the gatekeeper of the right palace."
