Years of drama and become a concubine

Chapter 113 Shuang'er is dead? !
The second day was a rare fine weather. Although the temperature was not high, the sunshine was just right, and there was not even a cloud in the clear sky.Everyone in the harem was shocked when they heard the news that the empress had been cast into the cold palace. The Nalan family has been honored and favored for many years, and today without any warning, it has entered a place of doom.Only the Voiceless Hall is different. Although the door is firmly closed, there is a relaxed and joyful atmosphere from top to bottom, washing away the shame of being searched in the palace.

At this time, Handong was sitting at the desk, squinting her beautiful eyes, threading needles and threading needles as a female worker, while chatting with Qing Ge and Lan Er.

"What are you embroidering?" Lan'er leaned over to have a look with the clothes folded in her hands.

"I want to make a belt..." Handong pursed his lips, and answered in a neutral manner, turning his body sideways as if deliberately not to let Lan'er see.

"Look at the color...it seems to be for a man?" Lan'er picked it up and looked at it carefully, covering her mouth and snickering.In the past few days, her face has recovered, and seeing Qing Ge's recovery is expected, her mood is bright, and she knows how to say a few joking words.

Qing Ge couldn't help smiling when he heard it, and pretended to suddenly realize: "For Mr. Bian?"

Han Dong lowered his eyes and blamed: "Your Majesty is teasing me! It's only because of Mr. Bian's treatment that my legs heal so quickly. Making this belt is just a thank you gift."

"Yes! My face also owes to Mr. Bian's panacea, why don't I make a handkerchief or something for him to carry around?" Lan'er smirked and blinked.

Handong's face was flushed red, and he was so angry that he pinched Lan'er: "You can give it away if you like, and I won't stop it!"

Lan'er let out an "Aiyo" in pain, and cursed with a smile: "Xiao Nizi is so ruthless, you want my life for a man?"

Speaking of this, Handong was stunned for a moment, then suddenly shivered.

Lan'er suppressed her smile and asked strangely, "What's the matter?"

Handong raised his head to look at her, then at Qingge, his face was dark and inexplicable, he hesitated for a while and said: "If I say so, you and your empress don't need to be afraid."

When she said this, the two became even more curious, and only pestered her to speak quickly.Han Dong paused for a moment, widened his eyes slightly and said: "I remembered that when I went out today, I passed by Lengxiang Hall and chatted with the people in their hall, saying that Shuang'er is gone!"

"Shuang'er?" Qing Ge only felt that the name sounded familiar, but couldn't figure out why.

Lan'er recalled for a moment and said, "Is it the girl who is very good at incense next to Mrs. Lou?"

Qing Ge thought a little bit when he heard it, and asked, "Is it the maid beside Lou Mingyue who specially scents His Highness's clothes?"

"It's her." Handong nodded and said, "It looks like she has a happy face, and she often has a smile on her face. Who knows, at such a young age, she will be gone if she says nothing."

Qing Ge has always liked the scent of humus on Sima Yu's body. It is refreshing, fresh and elegant. Since Shuang'er took care of it, she couldn't help but care about this girl, so she asked, "Why not? She has a bad disease." ?”

"That's not true, it seems that he stumbled into Jiyue Lake and drowned at night." Handong narrowed his eyes, "I heard that the next day the blisters were swollen and floated on the water, and when I picked them up, I found that my eyes were still half-open. The whites of the eyes are like a pair of dead fish eyes, it's scary!"

Lan'er listened intently, imagining the scene in her mind, and couldn't help but shudder: "I told you that I will never dare to go to Jiyue Lake again!"

Qing Ge was not afraid of these things, but felt a little regretful, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to smell such a nice smell of Heng Wuxiang anymore..."

The three of them were secretly lamenting the impermanence of life, when suddenly the gatekeeper came to report that Lou Mingyue had come.Qing Ge wondered, the empress had entered the cold palace, and everyone was afraid to stay behind closed doors at this time, and they didn't dare to chat, laugh, or chat. What was she doing here at this moment?
She sat up slightly and told Lan'er to welcome Mingyue in.Hearing the footsteps approaching, she squeezed out a smile and called out affectionately: "Sister Lou."

Seeing that she was going to get up, Lou Mingyue hurriedly stepped forward and held her down, "There is no need to salute between you and me, let alone you are not feeling well, so don't be so polite."

Seeing that she was considerate, Qing Ge didn't insist anymore, smiled and was about to ask Lou Mingyue why she came, but she didn't expect Lou Mingyue to sit down beside her and speak first: "My sister is here today because I have something important to do. tell you."

Qing Ge heard that her tone was serious, she didn't seem to be chatting, and said seriously: "Sister, please tell me."

Lou Mingyue caressed her heart, and said with a sigh of relief: "My maidservant, Shuang'er, was found dead in Jiyue Lake today." Seeing that Qing Ge's expression was not surprised, she was slightly surprised, and asked, "Sister understood?"

"It's also a gossip I just heard from the servants." Qing Ge leaned over to comfort her and said, "I know that my sister is not feeling well. After all, she is a close and close person. Please be sure to express condolences."

Lou Mingyue's eyes got wet, she took out a handkerchief from her sleeve to wipe her tears, and said: "Shuang'er has always been obedient and obedient, I always treat her as a younger sister, it is because of the deep affection, I definitely can't let her be like this Die without knowing why."

Qing Ge was startled when he heard the words, and the teacup in his hand shook, and he asked in a low voice, "What's the meaning of sister's words? Could it be that she didn't fall into the water?"

Lou Mingyue replied: "I was a little surprised why she was going to Jiyue Lake late at night, but everyone said that she fell into the water, so I believed it, thinking that maybe she couldn't sleep and went out to relax and encountered an accident. But Afterwards, I went to her house to collect some relics and wanted to send them to her family outside the palace, but I found some strange things."

Lou Mingyue unhurriedly took out a small paper bag from her bosom, and unfolded it carefully to reveal a dark brown shriveled piece. She took Qing Ge's hand, put the paper bag in her palm, and continued: "I found some musk in her house. This spice is forbidden in the palace and must never be used. I also found a lot of silver, which is obviously much more than her monthly account. After thinking about it, I think this matter must be with you ... It is related to the previous encounter, so I hurried to tell you."

Qing Ge had long tried to forget the pain of the miscarriage. Today, when she heard it suddenly, it seemed to bring back the pain of the past. Every minute and every second of pain and inner torment made her shudder. Loose, the teacup fell along the hem of the skirt in response, and shattered into two halves on the ground with a bang, the corner of the skirt was splashed with hot tea. Wiping her skirt, she asked, "Is it hot?"

Lou Mingyue didn't expect her reaction to be so big, she looked at Yan Qingge who was pale and bloodless, and she was very depressed: "It's all my fault, I shouldn't mention this matter, are you okay?"

Only then did Qing Ge come back to his senses, he forced a smile and said, "It's okay, the weather is so cold, I can't burn it. You just said... musk was found in Shuang'er's room?"

Hearing her question, as if there was something in her words, Lou Mingyue couldn't help feeling a little flustered, she held Qing Ge's hand and said, "Sister, please don't get me wrong, I really don't know anything about Shuang'er's secret possession of musk, otherwise I wouldn't I will come here to tell you. What's more, if I ask Shuang'er to do something, she will have to do it, so why bother to buy her? I'm afraid someone else bought her. I guess something went wrong, and the other party had to kill her to silence her. , Shuang'er was probably thrown into the lake and drowned!"

Qing Ge felt it made sense after hearing it, but for a while she couldn't figure out anything else, so she could only rub her temples, becoming more and more confused.Seeing that she didn't blame her, Lou Mingyue felt relieved, sighed and said, "I only told my sister about this, since it has already happened, my sister shouldn't be too tired at this time, just check it out slowly, don't be impatient. Come on, don’t scare the snakes.”

"Sister said so." Qing Ge nodded meekly.

"You are tired too, I only have these clues here, if you still want to ask something else, come to me some other day, and rest earlier today." Lou Mingyue then stood up, bowed and said goodbye.

Qing Ge was really annoying, so she didn't want to keep her anymore, and asked Lan'er to send Lou Mingyue out.She pondered for a moment, then turned to Han Dong and said: "Go and invite His Royal Highness and Mr. Bian to come over."
