Uncle, this palace is not going to sleep tonight

Chapter 282

"Miss, this tea is cold, and this servant has brought you another cup." Dai Mo put down the teacup wrapped in cotton cloth in his hand, and took the teacup that was still somewhat cold from Liu Qingyun's hand.

Liu Qingyun regained her scattered consciousness, picked up Dai Mo's new teacup, took a sip and then frowned, "This is not tea."

"Miss Hui, this is ginseng tea brewed with red ginseng. Although it is a bit bitter, it is good for Miss's body." Dai Mo knew that she hated bitter things the most, and when she saw that she was about to put down the tea cup, she added more tea. He said: "This is what His Majesty ordered before leaving, to give the young lady tonic with mild medicinal herbs."

Sure enough, upon hearing that it was Chu Jinyu's order, Liu Qingyun endured her disgust, raised her head and drank the ginseng tea in one gulp.

Putting down the cup, she coughed a few times before asking, "Chu Jinyu, how long have you been gone?"

"It's been seven days." Dai Mo replied after packing up the teacup.

"Seven days..." The corners of Liu Qingyun's lips moved slightly, and after a long time, she continued in a low voice: "I thought it's been seven months...seven years..."

In General Murong's Mansion, in the Four Seasons Hall, Chu Zili came slowly after Murong Duan sent someone to invite him, and saw Murong Duan sitting alone on the main seat of the Four Seasons Hall, frowning.

"Chu Qingyu came here just now?"

"Yes, not only came, but also came to Xingshi to question the crime."

"condemn?"

"She brought half a token of the General's Mansion and came to me for an explanation."

"What do you say?"

"Last night, sixteen Jiangnan officials detained in the dungeon of the Princess' Mansion were assassinated. Fifteen of them died, and one escaped with serious injuries. His whereabouts are unknown."

"..." Chu Zili was lost in thought for a moment, then turned to squint at Murong Duan, "You did it?"

Murong Duan shook his head helplessly, and said weakly: "This official would not be so careless even if he wanted to kill someone to silence him, and he left half a token, not to mention that the official also said that he must not do anything now, otherwise everyone will suspect that it is the official." made."

Chu Zili frowned, "If it wasn't for you, who would have the guts to enter the princess mansion to kill people, and... even left your token on purpose, could it be setting the blame?"

Murong Duan didn't answer his question, they just pondered for a moment, thinking about different possibilities.

"Maybe, this is the princess' method." Murong Duan had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly said: "There are not many people who can enter the princess mansion, let alone killing 15 people in a row. It was done by the princess herself. The purpose is probably to test me and frame me, and she deliberately left a life alive in order to make us restless and be restrained by her all the time!"

After finishing speaking, he turned pale with shock again, "Could it be that the princess already knew that the rice grain case in Jiangnan was related to me!?"
