Chapter 113

Jingwangfu, before dawn, Chuntao goes to the well in the back garden to draw water. Seeing that the prince and princess are about to get up, she needs to quickly boil the washing water.

Last night, when she was passing by the back garden, she suddenly heard a woman's cry. Bold, she wanted to go and have a look, but with that sound, she disappeared?

As a result, she didn't sleep well all night and had nightmares until dawn. Now she yawned repeatedly and just put the bucket in. How could the bucket not go down? Chuntao leaned against the well to see what was going on. But after several attempts, the bucket couldn't go down. It seemed that something happened.

Well, some dark, try again spring peach suddenly saw a white thing, what is that?

Curiosity, just wait for her to see clearly, scared to throw the bucket in, the whole person crazy general put aside: "dead, dead!"

Chuntao yells and runs. As soon as she runs to the end of the back garden corridor, she bumps into a man at the corner.

"Ouch!" Feng Tingting was hit hard and her head was buzzing.

Just about to blame, I saw Chuntao squatting on the ground and muttering to himself: "dead, dead!"

Feng Tingting was surprised and quickly pulled Chuntao up: "Chuntao, where are the dead people you said? Take me quickly!"

Feng Tingting shakes spring peach for a long time. Spring peach comes back to her senses. She swallows and spits. She takes Feng Tingting to the well to see. But she is far away and dare not come near any more.

Qi Jiao gets up early in the morning, puts on her clothes, and waits for Chunmei to come and give her something to wash. At this time in the past, Chunmei had everything ready early. What's the matter?

A kind of bad premonition climbed up Qi Jiao's heart, but she quickly shook her head again. Maybe Chunmei went to bed too late yesterday. Maybe she got up too late.

Just thinking of waiting a little longer, I heard a quick knock outside the door.

Qi Jiao frowned. Chunmei, what happened? She was in a hurry.

Qi Jiao opened the door and found that in front of her was a spring peach full of sweat.

"Princess, it's not good. Go and have a look. Chunmei has jumped into the well!"

Qi Jiao body trembles, almost can't stand, spring peach see this quickly will her.

Settled, Qi Jiao let Chuntao take her to have a look.

In the back garden, Qi Jiao saw several bodyguards around the well and Xue Zhe, the old housekeeper of the royal family.

Seeing Qi Jiao coming, the bodyguard quickly retreats to one side. Qi Jiao looks at the spring peach lying on the ground. Her upper body is covered with the bodyguard's robe and only shows her wet hair.

Yesterday, when she saw Chunmei, she was wearing this dress. That's right. Qi Jiao bent down with the help of Chuntao. On Chunmei's head, she found the gold hairpin she gave her as a dowry.

How can a girl who has served for many years have no feelings? Qi Jiao heart head suddenly with blocked a stone, pressure of her breathless, this good Chunmei, how to say no?

Anyway, it's a fight between master and servant. What's the cause of Chunmei's death? Qi Jiao has to find out. She doesn't want Chunmei's death to be so obscure.

Qi Jiao asks the guards to carry Chunmei to her usual room. She also asks Chuntao to change her dry clothes, and asks housekeeper Xue to take a hundred taels of silver from the accounting room and send it to Chunmei's family.

After Chuntao changes Chunmei's clothes, Qijiao calls her over. This morning, she is the first to find Chunmei dead in the well. Maybe she can find anything from her.

Since the discovery of Chunmei's body in the morning, Chuntao has been frightened. Although she used to be close to Chunmei, she really didn't know about Chunmei's throwing into the well.

Spring peach kneels on the ground, the whole face has no blood color.

"Chuntao, how did you find out that Chunmei died in the well today?"

"Princess, I got up early this morning to draw water from the well. I didn't come up several times. When I looked into the well, I saw an arm in the well. Then I ran out and wanted to tell housekeeper Xue that Chunmei was waiting for the bodyguards to bring up the body." Chuntao said, and began to cry. She had the best relationship with Chunmei in the palace, and she didn't want to see Chunmei die.

"When you go to the well to draw water in the morning, don't you see any suspicious people?" It's really strange for Chunmei to throw herself into the well. There must be something she doesn't know. Chunmei has been waiting on her for so many years. If Chunmei is wronged, she won't stand by.

Chuntao cried and raised her head: "princess, when I was drawing water this morning, I was the only one in the back garden."

Qi Jiao frowned: "you live in the same room with Chunmei. Yesterday you didn't find anything unusual?"

When Chuntao thought about it, she really remembered something: "princess, I went to bed late last night. When I came back from the back garden, I heard a cry, a bit like Chunmei's voice. Then I went to have a look, but I didn't see anyone at all. Later, when I came into the room, I found that Chunmei hadn't come back, so I didn't care, because she was waiting for the princess before, They always come back late and come out early. "

After listening to Chuntao's words, maybe it was Chunmei who cried in the back garden last night. If so, could it be that Chunmei was wronged and couldn't open the well?

"Chuntao, did Chunmei say anything to you when she was with you these two days?" Qi Jiao pauses and continues to ask: "or, what strange and unusual behavior does she have?"

With tears in her eyes, Chuntao recalled every sentence she had said with Chunmei in the past two days: "princess, Chunmei told me that her family had engaged her. She was the only scholar in their village. Chunmei seemed to like him very much. Every time she mentioned her to me, she always blushed to the root of her neck."

Before, when Qi Jiao sent Chunmei's gold hairpin, she had already guessed that she was about to get married, but would Chunmei's throwing into the well have something to do with that scholar?

Since it is a master and servant, there is a trace of doubt, Qi Jiao will check clearly.

Qi Jiao asked the royal guards to take a trip to the village where Chunmei lived. When she came back, she brought LV Xiucai back.

The bodyguards brought the scholar in. The scholar was gentle, but he didn't know the news of Chunmei's death?

Qi Jiao orders the bodyguard to quit. LV Wenzhong rubs his hands nervously. Although he knows that Chun Mei is the princess's servant girl in King's mansion, he doesn't know what the bodyguard of King's mansion came to the village for?

A kind of bad premonition surged into my heart. LV Wenzhong looked up and looked at the look of the princess. His heart was cold. I'm afraid something really happened?

In the end, the scholar who came out of reading is much calmer than the ordinary people. If the ordinary people were brought into the palace, they would be scared to shiver.

In Dashun, because of his special status, the scholar doesn't have to kneel down even when he meets the prince. Qi Jiao doesn't think he looks like a cunning man, and she should not hide anything about Chunmei.
