Chapter 744
Rong Jiu closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and then slowly opened his eyes: "If I guessed correctly, Concubine Jia must have been eaten bit by bit by something."

There was a look of surprise in Shen Cheng's eyes, and he couldn't help but pause: "Been eaten?"

Rong Jiu said "Yes": "But according to Hongrui, Concubine Jia's appearance was even more beautiful before she died. It should be that someone put something in the perfume to blame Concubine Shu."

"The murderer is someone from Luoxia Palace."

"Although we are not sure who the murderer is, Hongrui is definitely suspicious. She is Concubine Jia's personal maid, and it is easy to get involved in the perfume. She was the first person to find Concubine Jia's bones. There was no one else at that time. She Take away the perfume and no one will know."

"Whether it's her, interrogate again, and it will be clear."

Seeing that Shen Cheng was about to go back, Rong Jiu quickly stopped him: "It's useless, if she kills her and refuses to admit it, and instead scares the snake, wondering if it's her, I have a solution, but I have to wait until night."

Shen Cheng smiled and said, "Ah Jiu, isn't it just trying to pretend to be a ghost to scare her?"

Rong Jiu nodded: "Just now, Hongrui kept her head down all the time, and she didn't even dare to look at Concubine Jia more. If it was her, she would definitely do anything in panic."

"If it's really her, with the Xiao family's usual way of doing things, she will definitely kill people and silence her. After I go back, I will let the dark guards enter the palace to protect her."

"Ah."

The two arrived at the gate of the palace and were about to get into the carriage when Eunuch Zhao's eager voice came from behind: "Princess, princess,"

Rong Jiu turned around and saw him running towards him out of breath, with a frown on his brow: "What happened again?"

Eunuch Zhao gasped and said, "Concubine Jia, the maid next to Concubine Jia is dead."

"Hongrui?" Rong Jiu was startled and furious, "How did you die?"

"I heard from other palace people that after Concubine Jia died, she was in a trance. When she went to fetch water from the well, she accidentally slipped, fell in, and drowned."

How could it be such a coincidence that the Empress Dowager Xiao must have killed someone to silence her. In this harem, killing a court lady was easier for her than crushing an ant.

Now even that thread is broken.

Shen Cheng's cold eyes were as deep as a dark night, and he said, "Go and have a look first."

The two returned to Luoxia Palace.

Hongrui's body had already been salvaged, her complexion was reddish, and she was lifeless.

People in Luoxia Palace died one after another, and the palace people were terrified, standing aside trembling.

Hongrui has scratches on her forehead, her hands are curled up, her belly is swollen, and there is foam coming out of her mouth and nose.
Rong Jiu raised his head and said to Shen Cheng, "It was drowned."

But whether he really stumbled and fell into the well, or was pushed down the well, there is no trace at all.

Even if it is known that it was Empress Dowager Xiao who murdered and silenced her, there is no evidence and any accusation is framed.

Originally, he wanted to use Hongrui to find out the evidence of Empress Dowager Xiao's crime, but now that she is dead and there is no proof, there is no way to investigate this case.

Rong Jiu's face instantly became condensed and ugly.

The two walked out of Luoxia Palace, Eunuch Zhao was already at the gate of Luoxia Palace, and said: "Princess, Your Majesty wants you and Master Shen to go there."

Rong Jiu said: "Just after the autopsy, there is some corpse odor on my body, so I won't go to see you. Father-in-law Lao told Father that there is no clue in this case."

Eunuch Zhao nodded.

Seeing her ugly face, Shen Cheng raised his lips slightly: "As long as the real cause of Concubine Jia's death is found out, the key to solving the case will be found. There is a library in Dali Temple, which contains countless books. See if there is any information to find out some clues. .”

Rong Jiu nodded, and when he reached the gate of the palace, he ran into Xiao Yu.
