Waiting for two people's footsteps to run away, Gu Yun approached Zhuo Qing and said with a soft smile, "you did it on purpose?"

Zhuo Qing shrugged, "she should have known." In fact, when Qingfeng asked her last time, she wanted to be frank with her, but she didn't have a chance that time. Later, she didn't ask, so she didn't want to mention it. This time let them into the palace to investigate this case, take this opportunity, let Qingfeng see clearly.

Gu Yun thought about it and nodded with approval: "this is good." It is not her wish to occupy other people's body, but also to consume other people's feelings through this body, which is too inappropriate. However, Gu Yun glanced at the swollen and rotten corpse not far away. He couldn't help but smile. Is this method too fierce

Autumn sun hot, noon sky, dazzling, green maple in front of a confused, just like her heart, only the foot of the step more and more urgent, like eager to escape. Ruyi holds Qingfeng and thinks that she is scared by the corpse, just like herself. But Qingfeng is walking faster and faster, and almost runs behind. Ruyi finally feels something is wrong. Holding her hand, she finds that her palm is wet and her fingertips are as cold as snow. Ruyi says: "Niang Niang, your hand is so cold. What's wrong with you?"

What echoes in Qingfeng's mind are the two women in the room with their elder sister's and younger sister's faces. They are so familiar and strange. They ask and answer questions and cooperate with each other. It's like they have practiced for countless times. At this moment, there is no doubt in Qingfeng's heart, only deep weakness, they They are not the elder sister and the last, not

After several days of investigation and claiming the personal belongings of the deceased, the identity of the deceased has been confirmed. She is a maid in the palace named Yiyue. Three days after her disappearance, she found her body in Dongyuan well. Dongyuan is the courtyard of the harem, and the well is rarely used. It is to prevent the fire in the east of the harem. There is no water to put out the fire, so it is dug for emergency use.

This case, Yan Hongtian did not give to the Ministry of punishment, Gu Yun is not easy to use Shan Yulan's people, so he put Ge Jingyun, Leng Xiao to his side.

"Knock knock", Zhuo Qing and Gu Yun discuss the case in a low voice. The knock suddenly rings, and Gu Yun raises his voice and says: "come in."

Leng Xiao pushed open the door, but didn't go in and said, "chief, I found a maid in waiting. She said she had seen the dead a few days ago."

Gu Yun in front of a bright, said: "ask her to come in."

After a while, Leng Xiao came in with a 17-year-old girl. When the girl just came in, she was very detained. She didn't dare to lift her head. When she came to Gu Yun and Zhuo Qing, she immediately knelt down and said, "maidservant, coffee, please say hello to the two ladies."

In the face of such a situation, Gu Yun is not used to it. He pulls her up, points to the chair beside him and says, "sit down and talk."

The girl quickly stepped back two steps and said, "I dare not."

Gu Yun is helpless, pull the girl to the chair with clever force, press her shoulder to let her sit on the chair at the same time, say: "I ask what, you answer according to the fact is OK."

The girl swallowed and nodded nervously.

"What is your relationship with the dead and when was the last time you saw her?"

Gu Yun's stern voice made the girl tremble violently, and she replied submissively: "Yiyue is My hometown, I saw her for the last time It was three nights ago. "

Zhuo Qing stares at Gu Yun in a funny way. Gu Yun turns his lips and reviews himself. He is used to staying in the general's house and speaking loud and direct. His tone is really a little cold and stiff, which frightens others. Gu Yun coughed softly, tried to soften his voice and said, "don't be afraid, just tell me what you know."

The girl raised her eyes a little. Seeing Zhuo Qing and Gu Yun's mild complexion, the girl calmed down and said, "that night just after Hai Shi, Yi Yue suddenly came to find the maid in a panic. She asked the maid to borrow 100 liang of silver. How could the maid have so much money? She asked what happened to her. She said that she knew a terrible secret and wanted to escape from the palace immediately. Otherwise, she would die When she asked her what her secret was, she refused to say. She had no choice but to give her the ten taels of silver she had. I haven't heard from her these days. I think she has really escaped from the palace. Who knows Who knows... "

"When you last saw her, were there any scars on her?"

The girl thought about it and shook her head: "no, she's just pale, as if she was really scared."

"Did she give you anything?"

"Yes." The girl immediately nodded, took out a pink purple silk handkerchief from the sleeve, and respectfully handed it to Gu Yun. "A silk handkerchief, said to be reserved for the slave as a memorial."

Gu Yun took it and looked at it carefully. There was nothing special except a pattern in the lower right corner.

Gu Yun looked at the pattern carefully. It seemed that it was a character, but it was specially designed. It was a little deformed. She could understand ordinary traditional Chinese characters, but she couldn't understand them. Zhuo Qing is also similar to her. She can't help shaking her head.

Gu Yun thought about it and waved to Leng Xiao. He didn't feel embarrassed and asked, "what's this word?"

Leng Xiao Leng for a moment, looked at it, and said, "it's a 'appendix'Looking at the silk handkerchief carefully again, Gu Yun said to the restless girl, "go back first. If you have anything to ask, it will be passed to you again."

"Yes, I'll leave." The girl breathed a sigh, saluted and retired. Leng Xiao also went out with her.

Gu Yun spread the handkerchief on the table to study again. Zhuo Qing suddenly said with a smile, "are you not afraid that they say you are illiterate?" Just now, Leng Xiao's surprised expression made her want to laugh. I guess he didn't believe that the talented women all over the world couldn't read!

"I don't know the words when they are twisted like that, and I'm not afraid of them. But... " Gu Yun a strange smile, "I guess they dare not."

Looking at her proud appearance, Zhuo Qing gave her a white look and lowered her head to study the silk handkerchief.

"Amazing secret?" Zhuo Qing murmurs to herself, guessing what can be regarded as a startling secret in the palace.

Gu Yun nodded the words on the silk handkerchief and said, "it seems that we should start with the word" appendix ". The quality of this kerchief is good. It doesn't look like something used by a palace maid. Ask the people in the Silk Weaving Room in the palace. Maybe there's a clue. "

Gu Yun has always been vigorous and resolute in his work. When he has a clue, he will not let it go. They come to the silk weaving room with silk handkerchief. This time they were ordered to investigate the case. Gao Jin also appointed an old eunuch to cooperate with them. Someone led the way, and they soon found an old woman who had worked in the silk weaving room for thirty or forty years.

Gu Yun took out the silk, handed it to her and asked, "do you recognize this silk handkerchief?"

The old lady took the silk and fumbled for a while in her hand. When she touched the appendix on the silk handkerchief, she gave it back to Gu Yun and said, "I don't know it."

Just now, the color of her eyes could not escape Gu Yun's eyes. Gu Yun didn't pick up the silk handkerchief and said faintly, "don't know what you are afraid of?"

The old lady looked up in a panic and looked into Gu Yun's eyes. She bowed her head again helplessly, pointed to the corner of the silk handkerchief and said, "I can recognize the word" LAN. "

Gu Yun had a premonition that the old lady must know something. She didn't force her to ask why she lied just now, but continued to ask, "is there anything special about the design of this appendix?"

The old lady nodded slowly and said in a low voice, "Lan" is the name of the old lady. The things she used in those years, such as silk handkerchiefs and dresses, would show this word, so I can recognize it. But I haven't seen it since the death of the old lady. Now I'm in a trance when I see this word again. "

In a trance? Trance to lie? Gu Yun stares at old Mammy's face, does not let go of her a shred of facial expression, continue a way: "who is your concubine?"

"The name of your concubine is Qiulan. Before the emperor ascended the throne, she was with the emperor. The emperor doted on her, but she was weak. The imperial doctor said that she was suffering from tuberculosis. Later, she became more and more serious and often coughed up blood. More than seven years ago I'm going Old mammy always lowered her head, but she could also feel Gu Yun's burning sight, and her voice was getting smaller and smaller.

Gu Yun not light not heavy of ask a way: "die of illness?"

The old lady's shoulder trembled a little, then immediately nodded and said, "that's what the imperial doctor said."

Gu Yun hands ring in front of the chest, as if thinking about what, the old mother continued to lower her head, a copy of the appearance, Gu Yun did not speak, Zhuo Qing opened her mouth, "before served her people?"

"After the lady's absence, all the people who served her scattered to all the palaces and courtyards, and some of them went to the palaces when they were old." The old mother turned to Zhuo Qing and was relieved. The young woman behind her had a pair of sharp eyes, which made her feel like she had no place to hide.

"Do you know which concubine she used to be close to? Is her maid still in the palace If you can find the people around the princess, you may be able to reveal the secret of this silk handkerchief.

"The concubine used to be with the queen, but her maid

As the old lady wanted to talk, Gu Yun suddenly asked, "what's the name of her maid, and where is she now?"

It seems that the general's wife won't give up until she is clear. The old lady sighed in secret, but she didn't dodge too much. She said, "her name is Huijun. She has always been responsible. Somehow, after the princess left, she went to the Queen's palace to steal things and was caught. Originally, she was caught and expelled from the palace for one or two years. Unexpectedly, she offended the empress. I heard that she hurt her hand, so she was imprisoned in the prison. I don't know when she will come out. "

Gu Yun took out the rag and asked, "do you recognize this kind of cloth?"

The old lady looked carefully for a while, shook her head and said, "the old slave is only responsible for the clothes of the masters. This cloth is too small to recognize what it is."

Gu Yun put away the rags and silk handkerchief and said, "thank you very much."

The old lady was shocked and saluted again and again. "Madam, this is killing the old slave. The old slave doesn't deserve it."
