Chapter 50

Xiaoyu came to Jingning Palace early in the morning, Xiaoyu came to the Eldest Princess and bowed, "See Eldest Princess."

The eldest princess didn't know that Xiaoyu was the maid beside Qingzhu, so she asked, "Where are you from? Is there anything you can do with me?"

Xiaoyu said respectfully, "The maidservant is the maidservant next to Empress Qing, her name is Xiaoyu. This time she came to Jingning Palace because Empress Qing wanted to invite Eldest Princess to Lenggong. Empress Qing has important matters to discuss with Eldest Princess."

The Eldest Princess thought for a while, then said to Su Ji, "Su Ji, bring me the cloak of the palace, let's go to the Leng Palace."

"Oh." Su Ji hurried to prepare the cloak.

Xiaoyu said again, "Princess, Empress Qing hopes that outsiders will not know about your going to the Leng Palace."

The eldest princess nodded and said, "Understood, you go back and report to your orders first, I will be there in a while."

"Yes" Xiaoyu saluted and left Jingning Palace.

Not long after, Princess Kung Fu and Su Ji came to the cold palace.

Although Qing Zhu met the Eldest Princess last time, the Eldest Princess met Qing Zhu with the face of Su Ji, but Qing Zhu had already discovered that the face of the Eldest Princess was not her own at that time, the Eldest Princess used the disguise technique, Qing Zhu did not know that the face of the Eldest Princess was not her own. Why does the princess change her face to look like someone else's?

But Qingzhu knew that there must be a reason for the eldest princess. As for the reason, Qingzhu was not interested at all. Just now Xiaoyu told herself about the eldest princess and Su Ji, and the one who wanted to come by her side was Su Ji.

Qing Zhu smiled at the eldest princess, "I haven't seen you for a long time, the eldest princess, do you still remember me?"

The eldest princess was taken aback, how did Queen Qing know that she was the eldest princess?It stands to reason that Queen Qing should have mistaken Su Ji for herself, because the last time I changed into Su Ji to meet Queen Qing, the eldest princess asked curiously, "How do you know that this palace is the eldest princess?" ?”

Qingzhu smiled and said, "It's because of the smell on your body."

The eldest princess was even more puzzled by the two-zhang monk, and asked at a loss, "What's the smell?"

"Smells similar to the emperor." Qing Zhu smiled at the eldest princess.

The eldest princess is an informal person, she found a seat at random and sat down, she joked to Empress Qing, "Hehe, that's natural, I'm from the same root as the emperor's younger brother, so naturally there are some similar tastes, it seems that Empress Qing is also very If you love the emperor, otherwise how would you know the taste so well?"

Qingzhu looked at the eldest princess, and said sadly, "Even the eldest princess can see it, but he"

The Eldest Princess patted Empress Qing on the shoulder and said, "The authorities are fascinated, but the bystanders are clear. The Emperor will definitely feel your love for him."

Qingzhu smiled wryly and said, "I hope, by the way, I have invited the Eldest Princess here this time to discuss something important."

The eldest princess asked, "What is it, so mysterious?"

Qingzhu sat on the chair closest to the eldest princess, and said to the eldest princess, "It's about Eunuch An, I hope the eldest princess will go to the Ministry of Punishment."

The eldest princess felt that the three words "Eunuch An" were very familiar, as if she had heard them somewhere, but she just couldn't remember them.

Seeing how the eldest princess was thinking, Su Ji knew what the eldest princess was thinking, so she reminded, "Eldest princess, have you forgotten? It's the new chief eunuch."

At this moment, the eldest princess suddenly realized and patted herself on the head and said, "Oh, it's this person, that Eunuch An, what's wrong with him?"

Qingzhu said, "I suspect that he killed Eunuch Su."

Su Ji nodded and said, "I doubt it too."

Everyone looked at Su Ji in surprise.

Qing Zhu asked, "I don't know why Mr. Su suspects Eunuch An?"

Su Ji was silent for a while and said, "I heard from the maids and eunuchs that Eunuch Su was irritated to death. It is not uncommon for people to be irritated to death, but it is a bit strange that the seven orifices bleed after being irritated. Although Eunuch Su said He is a bit old, but his body has always been very strong. The eunuchs who work next to the emperor will often encounter and endure the emperor's scolding and making things difficult. As long as they do one thing wrong, it is easy to bring disaster to themselves. Before doing everything, they will Consider the pros and cons clearly, and do not panic when dealing with things, so this mental quality must be much higher than that of ordinary people. Isn't it strange that he would be pissed to death because of a few words from the little eunuch? People who are pissed to death are usually The heart couldn't bear the pressure, which caused the heart to beat too fast. The heart couldn't bear such a fast speed. Finally, the heart collapsed and stopped beating, causing people to die. Bleeding to death from the seven orifices is clearly a phenomenon of poisoning. The imperial doctor at that time couldn't see it. Is it? If Eunuch Su dies, who will benefit the most? Of course it is Eunuch An, and Eunuch An will definitely be involved."

Qingzhu agreed with Su Ji's words very much, Qingzhu said, "I have thought about Mr. Su's words. At that time, I was afraid that there would be mistakes in the imperial doctor's autopsy or that he deliberately covered up the real culprit, so I personally performed the autopsy on Su Gonggong and found that there was nothing wrong. poisoning."

The four people in the room were all in a state of confusion, why can't there be signs of poisoning on Eunuch Su's body?
Su Ji was proficient in medical skills and knew all kinds of poisons, but she couldn't figure out what kind of poison could make the poisoned person unable to see the poisoning phenomenon.

The eldest princess thought for a while and said, "So Empress Qing wants me to go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to investigate the case at that time again?"

Qingzhu shook her head and said, "Even if we investigate the matter at that time, we still have no clue, but the result is still the same. I hope that the eldest princess will go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to ask where Eunuch Su is buried. I want to go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice by myself. But the Eight Worthy Kings were imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, and they had to go through the Heavenly Prison to go to the Ministry of Punishment. I was afraid that I would go like this. If the emperor knew that I had just been released from the ban and went to the Ministry of Punishment, I would definitely think that I was going to the Ministry of Punishment for nothing. Actually, let’s go to see the Eight Sage Kings.”

The Eldest Princess said, "The Emperor has been worrying too much, Empress Qing is right to think so, I will leave this matter to this Palace."

Qing Zhu thanked, "Thank you Eldest Princess for being willing to help."

The princess smiled and said, "Thank you, we are all one family."

Su Ji agreed with Queen Qing's idea of ​​doing an autopsy for Eunuch Su, and said, "That's right, no matter what kind of poison it is, even if you can't see it when you die, it will reveal clues after a long time, and the only way to do an autopsy is to open the coffin."

The eldest princess has always been timid, even afraid of killing an ant. When she heard the words of opening the coffin for an autopsy, she trembled with fright, and even stuttered when she spoke, "This, this, this... Ask the cemetery. During the autopsy. Don't, don't call me Bengong"

"Pfft..." Qingzhu couldn't help laughing when she looked at the princess, "Hehe, I didn't expect that the princess who is said to be fearless is also afraid sometimes."

The eldest princess cast a glance at Empress Qing and said, "Everyone has their own weaknesses, how can younger siblings laugh at me like this. Just now, I treated you like a family."

Suddenly bursts of hearty laughter came from the entire cold palace, bringing a little warmth and vitality to the already somewhat gloomy cold palace
After leaving the cold palace, the eldest princess and Su Ji walked directly towards the Ministry of Punishment.

As soon as the eldest princess arrived at the Ministry of Punishment, she asked the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, "Tell me the place where Mr. Su is buried."

The Secretary of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs was stunned and asked, "May I ask what is the purpose of the Grand Duke's burial place?"

Su Ji threatened the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, "Bold, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, you dare to ask about the eldest princess, do you think that the position of Minister of the Ministry of Justice is boring, and you want to change to a new position?"

The minister of the Ministry of punishment was frightened, and hurriedly said, "I don't dare, I don't dare"

The eldest princess said anxiously, "Don't dare, tell me the location quickly, what are you waiting for?"

The Secretary of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs hurriedly went to check, and then took a notebook and said, "The emperor was very kind to Su Gonggong, and buried Su Gonggong in the tomb forest behind the palace. Yes, only court ladies and eunuchs who have made great achievements in the palace are eligible to be buried there." The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice wanted to continue, but was interrupted by the eldest princess.

The eldest princess got goosebumps all over her body when she heard this, and said a little angrily, "I told you to tell me where you are. You are talking so much nonsense, are you looking for punishment?"

"Damn the next official, please forgive me, the princess." The Minister of the Ministry of punishment didn't know what he said wrong.Since the eldest princess is angry, she must have made a mistake.Hurry up and make atonement to the princess.

"The attitude is not bad. Be careful what you say in the future. Su Ji, let's go." The eldest princess pulled Su Ji and walked out.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice said, "Respectfully send off the eldest princess, Mr. Su."

It just so happened that the emperor asked Xiao Anzi to come to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to preach the imperial edict, and he saw the Eldest Princess and Master Su coming out of the Ministry of Criminal Justice in a hurry.

Xiao Anzi came to the Ministry of Punishment and asked the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, "What did the eldest princess and Master Su come to the Ministry of Punishment for?"

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice said, "Ask the location of Su Gonggong's tomb."

When Xiao Anzi heard this, he wondered if the eldest princess came to ask about Su Gonggong's cemetery, did she begin to suspect that there was something wrong with Su Gonggong's death?If something is found out by the eldest princess, wouldn't everything I have done be in vain?Xiao Anzi lost his position all of a sudden, how can this be good, Xiao Anzi asked, "

Did you ask what the cemetery is for? "

Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice shook his head and said, "No."

Xiao Anzi immediately said, "I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first."

Xiao Anzi stumbled and ran to his residence. He wanted to change into the clothes of a little eunuch, and slipped out of the palace while others were not looking.
