Chapter 2440 Waste Princess 28
Dead?
Unexpected but not surprising, given the rhythm of this guy seeking death every day, the fact that he can survive until now is a tribute to his mother, Mrs. Jiang Shu, and her fortune-telling.
The Queen Mother sighed: "Then let's go and have a look." Raising her hands, Xining and Ziling hurriedly supported her from left to right and left the palace.
On the way, the palace maid who knew what had happened followed him and talked about it in a soft voice.
After the banquet ended yesterday, the young master went back to sleep. In the morning, the waiter found that he was missing.
After searching everywhere, I found it by the lake.
The young master lay prone on the edge of the lake again, his face submerged in the water. He had died long ago. There were no wounds on his body. He had been sent to Mrs. Jiang Shu's Jinhua Palace.
"Mrs. Jiang Shu has fainted from crying twice. She said..." The palace maid hesitated.
The Queen Mother said in a deep voice: "Say~"
The palace maid plucked up her courage, lowered her voice, and twisted her lips: "I said she was drunk after drinking last night. She ran to the lake to play, then fell down and fell asleep. It happened that her face was immersed in the water, and then..."
Xi Ning's scalp exploded when he heard this. He had been doing this for a long time. How could it happen to him?
Speaking of which, if the young master hadn't been drunk, how could he have gone to the lake and drowned himself? Moreover, he drowned himself while his body was on the shore and his face was in the water.
As soon as the palace maid finished speaking, the queen mother suddenly stopped and glared so hard that the palace maid was so frightened that she immediately shut up and stood there with her head bowed.
"What's wrong with Mo'er?" The accident didn't make the Queen Mother raise her voice. After thinking about it, she patted Xining's hand gently: "You go back first. The almond and peanut dew last time tasted good. Help the Ai family. Make some and use them when the Ai family comes back.”
"Yes, grandma." Xining bent his knees slightly, took three steps back, and then turned around and left.
When she arrived at the kitchen, she grabbed a handful of red-skinned peanuts and soaked them in hot water so that the peanut coating could swell as quickly as possible.
The Queen Mother was trying to protect her. If she went and Mrs. Jiang Shu, who was suffering from the loss of her son, rushed up to beat her indiscriminately, it would be in vain.
After waiting for an hour, the Queen Mother came back and brought over the chilled cheese.
The Queen Mother picked up the spoon, scooped it gently, put the cheese on the earthenware plate upside down, put it in her mouth, squinted her eyes, and couldn't help but nodded slightly: "The cheese made from almonds, peanuts and milk is cold, refreshing, and smooth. It's very delicious." Delicious and thoughtful. ”
While eating, he glanced at Ziling next to him. Ziling understood, so he talked about Jinhua Palace: "Young Master Zhong has changed his clothes, packed them up, and is lying on the bed. Mrs. Jiang Shu has disheveled hair and makeup, just like He was like crazy, shouting that Princess Mo should pay for her life. ”
Frowning, he spread his eyebrows as expected. What does it have to do with her!
Ziling continued: "I asked Shi to come over and do an autopsy. He said he drowned in his sleep and smelled of alcohol. But whether he was drunk or not, we have to disembowel him."
Hearing this, Xining sighed helplessly. There is no need to think about it, Mrs. Jiang Shu will definitely refuse.
Sure enough, Ziling said: "Mrs. Jiang Shu refuses to disembowel her body and do an autopsy, so we can only do so for the time being."
Xining frowned and thought for a while: "Every master has a night watcher around him. Each palace has a gatekeeper, and there are guards patrolling outside. Doesn't anyone know that the master has left the palace to go to the lake again?"< br>
Ziling replied: "Wei Xun also asked, and said that the chamberlain and the caretaker who were keeping watch last night were so deep in sleep that no one noticed. What a coincidence, and just missed the guard. This is what they said before they died, Because Mrs. Jiang Shu was so grieved, in a rage, all the servants who served the prince, a total of eight people, were beaten to death with sticks or poisoned for burial. "
Wow, even if they are buried, they will be killed later. What else to investigate now, everyone is dead. The Queen Mother had finished eating the cheese and picked up a hand towel to wipe it: "The Tingwei called this time also did his duty. Jiang Shu is anxious to kill you. The Tingwei said there is insufficient evidence and the case cannot be closed. No matter Jiang Shu cried and screamed , searched the entire palace, and even the incense burner ashes and sachets were not spared. It was said that if the person was stunned and dragged to the water, he would be drowned. "
This Tingwei has a brain, and he can indeed drown someone after he is knocked unconscious and dragged to the water's edge. Moreover, the entire dormitory was sleeping so deeply, and the patrolling guards were missed. Such a coincidence may be possible, but it is more likely to be impossible.
Ziling brought the tea drinks on the plate brought by the maid next to her and placed them one by one on the table: "This is Xiaowei Li. He has been working in Tingwei Mansion for generations and has solved countless cases. It's a pity that when Xiaowei Li came, Mr. Zhong had already washed himself and put on his clothes. They are neat and tidy. No one can remember whether the soles of his feet are dirty or clean. If they are clean, Princess Mo can get rid of them. ”
"Did Young Master Zhong go to the lake barefoot?" Xining frowned.
The Queen Mother and Ziling looked at each other, and then the Queen Mother replied: "Exactly, what did Mo'er think of?"
Xi Ning analyzed: "Mrs. Jiang Shu dotes on Mr. Zhong. The flip-up shoes that Mr. Zhong wears on weekdays are all made of silk. Every day when he takes off his shoes in class, you can see that the insoles inside are made of Xia Jia Lu. Catkins, plus chicken and duck down feathers in winter. The heavy feet of the young master should be kept more delicate than the hands. If you walk to the lake by yourself without wearing shoes, there will be traces."
The Queen Mother nodded approvingly: "Li Xiaowei also said the same, so he concluded that the young master was taken to the lake and drowned. But Jiang Shu refused to admit it."
Ziling said with dissatisfaction: "Mrs. Jiang Shu just wants to put the blame on Princess Mo, and she also said that Princess Mo should be buried as an apology."
"Bah, she dares!" the Queen Mother spat, took her hand and comforted her: "Don't worry, Mo'er, if she dares to make trouble again, the Ai family will let her die tomorrow and bury her in the tomb of the late king as a filial piety. Or let her She chose to be buried together with her son and continue to be mother and son underground.”
Holy shit, the Queen Mother is so powerful! Xi Ning secretly gave a thumbs up. Sure enough, he could survive by hugging his thick legs.
However, if Mrs. Jiang Shu continues to make such a fuss, it will not be good for the owner's reputation... Xining touched his chin and began to think of a move.
"Chong'er, my Zhong'er..." Heart-rending cries came from Jinhua Palace.
Mrs. Jiang Shu lay on a coffin, patting the coffin and crying bitterly: "My only son is gone, gone. It's all this bitch Liang Mo, it's all her! If my son hadn't been drunk, How could he die? ”
Then he pointed at the King of Liang and cried: "You are such a bitch, how can you compare with my beloved son? I want her to be buried!"
Mrs. Jiang Shu was so sad that she did not even call herself "concubine".
"Ah~" Prince Liang's head was pounding: "Even if Mo'er is a concubine, she is still the flesh and blood of a widower. Now she is fostered by the Queen Mother. She is deeply loved by the Queen Mother, so don't make trouble."
"What did I do? It's her fault. She made such a big mistake. Shouldn't she die to apologize and be buried for my beloved son?" Mrs. Jiang Shu stared at her eyes that were red from crying, and the whites of her eyes were full of bloodshot eyes. The ferocious expression was like a ghost.
I've been trying to persuade her for a long time, but it's still like this.
"The Tingwei Mansion said that it is not certain that it is related to alcohol. You have cleaned up all the evidence."
King Liang also became angry and flicked his sleeves: "Stop making trouble unreasonably!"
"Am I making trouble unreasonably?" Mrs. Jiang Shu looked at Prince Liang in disbelief, and suddenly cried: "I can't live anymore, I can't live anymore, my son..."
"Oh~" King Liang was really driven crazy.
At this time, a chamberlain hurried in and knelt down to tell the story: "Your Majesty, Madam, Princess Mo is by the lake, by the lake..."
King Liang was extremely irritable: "Go on, how about by the lake?"
