Suddenly there was a crashing sound of cups and plates colliding in a corner. Everyone turned around after hearing the sound. A woman in her forties stood there blankly. Her face was pale at this time. The cups and plates were in a mess on the table in front of her, and the soup was poured out. It was exactly The woman who accompanied Liang Guiren before sitting in the Orchid Pavilion was Tan, the mother of Liang Guiren and the wife of Pan Jingfu, the imperial censor.
She obviously wanted to ask aloud, but because the eldest princess of Deqing was in front of her, she did not dare to overstep. She could only stand there blankly, watching the palace maid who came to report from a distance getting closer and closer.
The palace maid's steps were frivolous and her hair was scattered. She was the jade comb of the servant beside the noble nobleman.
Yushu's face was covered with tears, her lips were trembling, and she was pale without a trace of blood. She almost fell in front of the eldest princess of Deqing and cried: "Princess, it's not good, dear noble lady, she...she was killed..."
She couldn't say that the good man was dead, as if those words had revealed her own fate.
Countless gasps of air came from the surroundings, and the eldest princess of Deqing became furious: "Just now Cailiangguo left the banquet, how come she was killed in such a short period of time?"
She walked through the crowd first and walked towards the palace where the noble nobleman was. The Pan family immediately followed.
The others looked at each other, and the brave ones with noble status also followed out of Yuntai Hall.
After all, the eldest princess did not tell everyone to stay where they were and not move.
Li Qingyi said: "I'm going to take a look, where are you?"
Wei Jin'er and Mu Yao both nodded.
Something happened to a good nobleman in Fanghua Palace, and everyone here is involved. It would be better to go and see the truth, so that you can have an idea.
When everyone arrived at the Furong Hall where Liang Guiren lived, there was already a mess inside.
All the chambermaids were huddled in a corner with pale faces, looking at the brightly lit palace, as if there were evil man-eating beasts lurking there, and they did not dare to take a step.
The few personal maids around Mr. Liang were sitting at the door of the room, leaning on the door leaf, their fingers clawing at the door frame, shaking like chaff.
The eldest princess of Deqing paused in her footsteps and said angrily: "Why are you all acting like this, and don't you care about your master? How is Mr. Liang? Is there any doctor Xuan?"
The maids who collapsed in front of the door seemed to be extremely frightened. One of the maids didn't know where her shoes had fallen, and they didn't even hear the eldest princess's question.
Yushu, who had reported the news just now, ran back after him. Regardless of his panting, he asked: "Linglong, how is the master?"
The maid named Linglong trembled when she heard this shout, and then said with a trembling voice, "Master...she...has run out of breath..."
The jade comb fell softly to the ground with a plop. The eldest princess's expression changed drastically and she walked into the room first.
Li Qingyi and others followed her and Mrs. Pan and saw the eldest princess suddenly stiffened for a moment when she saw Liang Guiren's body, and then took a step back suddenly.
She then looked in front of her.
I saw Liang Gui's head facing outwards and lying on his back on the ground. His face was twisted in pain, his lips were parted, and his eyes almost protruded from their sockets.
That delicate and sweet look had long since disappeared, and her face looked like an evil ghost crawling out of hell.
Everyone's eyes followed the messy dress down to her belly.
The originally swollen belly was now opened with a big bloody hole, and the already-formed baby was taken out from it and was still lying aside, bloody and bloody...
The air seemed to condense in an instant, and you could hear a needle drop.
Liang Guiren's mother, Mrs. Tan, was stunned for a moment when she saw the scene in front of her. Then she screamed with a frightening scream, and then she passed over straight up.
The slave who was standing one step behind her didn't even react to help her. However, Li Qingyi quickly reached out to stop Tan's leaning body and supported her.
When the eldest princess saw the noble nobleman who was still alive just now, and now looked like this, she felt her blood surge and said, "Who is it! Who is so bold that he dares to kill the concubine!"
Who is it, so blatantly
Challenging the majesty of the heavenly family?
Li Qingyi was also very confused.
Someone died in the palace at any time, whether it was a concubine or a palace maid, there were various reasons and ways of death, but all of them had a purpose.
Even if there is no name, the murderer will try his best to cover up or frame the crime.
However, the way Liang Gui died was neither hidden nor devious. It told everyone nakedly that Liang Gui died unexpectedly and was murdered.
Even Li Qingyi found this situation too tricky.
She immediately looked at everyone's expressions. The eldest princess was shocked and furious, Madam Pan was heartbroken, and the guests were so frightened that they couldn't move an inch and almost didn't dare to open their eyes again.
However, what is more noteworthy is that the look on Mu Lan's face, the fear of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, is a little strange.
It felt like a person who was clearly mentally prepared and knew what she was about to face, but the moment she saw it, it still exceeded her expectations. The kind of fear mixed with surprise was mixed with that of surprise. Ordinary emotions are somewhat different.
Although Mu Lan quickly covered it up, Li Qingyi firmly believed that he was not wrong.
She couldn't help but wonder, could the death of Liang Guiren be related to Mu Lan?
If Liang Guiren's death involved a fight between the concubines in the harem, then as Mu Lan's niece, there might not necessarily be no motive for the murder.
But she actually did such a thing in the territory of the eldest princess of Deqing in the presence of so many people. Would the eldest princess not know?
It couldn't have been the eldest princess of Deqing, right? Is it possible that the eldest princess, who had been comforting the noble lady with kind eyes just now, killed her in the blink of an eye?
Or maybe the death of Liang Guiren was actually the intention of the Mu family? Is this what Concubine Mu means?
She remembered what Mu Yao had just said, that the dragon fetus in Liang Guiren's belly was in conflict with Mu Guifei...
But, what's the need?
Liang Guiren was not the only concubine in the harem who had children. She is not the only one who is favored. She has gained power recently just because she is a newcomer in the palace.
Who is it and why did he want to kill the noble man? And used such cruel methods?
The strong smell of blood spread in the splendid and colorful palace. After a brief shock, the eldest princess of Deqing immediately asked the guards of Fanghua Palace to investigate the personnel in the palace to find the murderer.
After she shouted those angry words, a belated imperial doctor had already conducted a brief inspection on Liang Guiren.
However, the good nobleman is dead, what can the imperial doctor say?
"Princess, the good nobleman has disappeared... I suggest that we order the monks from Dali Temple to come and have a look..."
Imperial doctors treat the living, and the dead must of course be handed over to widows for examination. They can also throw this hot potato to others.
This is a common behavior among people who often come and go in the palace, and Li Qingyi is not surprised.
After all, if you get involved in the troubles in the palace, you will lose your head if you are not careful, so it is better to "die as a Taoist friend than to die as a poor Taoist".
But when the eldest princess heard this, she couldn't help but said angrily: "She is the emperor's concubine, and she has a high status. How can she let the widow come to check! You are an imperial doctor, can't you find out how the good nobleman died?!"
The imperial doctor was so frightened that he confessed repeatedly and said with a grimace: "Back to the eldest princess, the good nobleman's abdomen was opened and the fetus was dug out. He died of excessive blood loss..."
This is simply nonsense, and everyone can see it.
The eldest princess of Deqing frowned fiercely, not having any good ideas at the moment.
As a concubine, a noble lady cannot freely let her husband inspect her body even if she dies. But how can we find out the cause of Liang Guiren's death if we don't let him do the autopsy?
After hearing Yushu's report, no one realized that Liang Guiren was dead. Because the concubine who was pregnant with dragon seed was killed, it was most likely that she was pushed down and lost her child.
Scenes like this are common in the palace, but who would have thought that a good nobleman would die so inexplicably and in such a miserable way.
Lianggui
She is not an ordinary palace maid, and no one cares about her even after she dies. She was the daughter of a court official, and she died in such a strange way. We must find out the real culprit and give everyone an explanation.
The eldest princess of Deqing pondered for a long time and ordered the steward aunt beside her, "First let someone send the news to the palace to inform the emperor and queen, and then send someone directly to Dongchang to find Qin Zeng, the admiral of Dongchang, and ask him to handle the matter!"
