This piece of paper was something she would only use when communicating with that person. How could Yi Geer have it here? Did she accidentally forget to care about Brother Yi, or did Brother Yi find something?
And the Xian Ning just now, was it a coincidence or intentional?
*****
It was getting late, Han Su served Lin's dinner, and then took the food box to deliver food to Xian Ning.
She knocked on the door, but there was no movement inside.
"Xian Ning? Are you asleep?"
Hansu pushed the door open and saw a pair of snow-white trousers hanging on the beam!
"ah!"
Han Su screamed, and the food box in her hand fell all over the floor, but she didn't care. With a pale face, she hugged her sister's legs and lifted them up hard, shouting: "Here comes someone!" Help people! Help people quickly!"
After a while, several women who were nearby ran over in a hurry and were shocked when they saw this situation. Everyone rushed into the room and took her down from the beam and placed her on the ground. Someone stepped forward to check her breathing, and then suddenly retracted her hand in fear: "I'm out of breath..."
"Xian Ning! Xian Ning!" Han Su threw herself on Xian Ning and cried loudly.
The movement here alarmed many people. Mrs. Lin hurried over and asked, "What's wrong?"
When Han Su saw Mrs. Lin coming over, she crawled to her side and cried loudly: "Princess, Xian Ning hanged herself!"
Mrs. Lin was surprised when she heard that Xian Ning was dead. She went to look and saw that Xian Ning was lying upright, with a pale complexion and purple lips. There was a deep strangulation mark on her neck. She was indeed dead.
"Xian Ning has been fine all day, why did she suddenly hang herself?"
Han Su's face was filled with tears: "Princess, you have to make the decision for Xian Ning. She must have been killed! She couldn't have hanged herself! There was no reason for her to commit suicide!"
"Killed to death?" Mrs. Lin looked at Han Su with a deep look, "Is there anything unusual about Xian Ning recently? Or has she offended someone?"
"I don't know, but I know that Xian Ning will never commit suicide. She was talking and laughing with me just now. There was nothing abnormal at all!"
"I didn't notice anything unusual about Xian Ning, which is strange."
Lin had been living with Gongsun Yi and the old lady in the middle courtyard. Something happened in Huiyue Ju, and soon the news reached Jingyuntang.
Li Qingyi was talking to the old lady at the moment. Hearing that something had happened, he and the old lady arrived at Huiyue Residence and saw a large group of people surrounding the door of Xianning's room.
Xian Ning is the second-class girl next to the princess, and she often accompanies her to the old lady. The old lady naturally knows her, "What's going on?"
Everyone looked back and saw the old lady coming, followed by the grandma behind her. They all saluted and made way for the two of them.
Mrs. Lin glanced at Li Qingyi and said with a normal expression: "Old madam, the maid in front of me, Xian Ning, hanged herself in the room. After asking around, everyone said they didn't know what happened."
The old lady frowned and took a look at Xian Ning's body, and said: "If a person wants to die, there will always be a reason or some sign. How could he hang himself without leaving anything behind? There must be some reason in this. .”
This statement implies that Xian Ning was killed by someone.
Li Qingyi glanced at Xian Ning's body and leaned closer to the old lady, "Grandma, this is very strange. Why is it that everyone else is fine, but accidents happen one after another around the princess? First, Zi Lian was bribed, and then a fake person was recruited. Chi Zhen, the capable girl next to you has hanged herself inexplicably right now, otherwise we should invite someone to perform a ritual ceremony in the princess’s yard!”
When Mrs. Lin heard Li Qingyi call the old lady "grandmother", her brows jumped and she quickly looked at the old lady's expression.
The old lady didn't seem to be disgusted...
Mrs. Lin sneered in her heart. If she plays the emotional card again, why not use evidence to speak for herself!
She didn't believe that Li Qingyi could make the old lady touch her just by talking nonsense!
However, Li Qingyi must have bad intentions if he wants to perform rituals in her yard.
After thinking for a while, she said: "I never believe in anything involving strange forces and chaos. Since something is fishy, we should find out who is causing trouble in the house."
Li Qingyi said in surprise: "Princess, do you think it's artificial?"
Mrs. Lin frowned and took a deep look at Li Qingyi.
After hearing Li Qingyi's words, Han Su on the side quickly knelt over and begged: "Princess is wise! I beg the old lady and the princess to find out the cause of Xian Ning's death and give her justice!"
Mrs. Lin quickly took over the words, "Don't worry, old lady, my daughter-in-law will definitely find out the murderer."
After hearing this, Li Qingyi said: "As the saying goes, the authorities are blind to the beholder. There are so many strange things happening around the princess, how can I easily smooth them out? It's better to let the old lady help me take care of it."
Mrs. Lin was just about to say that she did not dare to work with the old lady, when Han Su suddenly said: "Old lady, if you are brave, can you ask your little guard Xue to investigate this matter?"
This request surprised the old lady: "Xue Ping?"
Xue Ping's father was a follower of Zhenbei Prince Gongsun Jingzhi. After Gongsun Jingzhi died, Xue Huwei stayed with the old lady. Now that he is older, he asked his son to protect the old lady's safety for him.
Everyone in the palace called him Xue Xiaowei.
Mrs. Lin scolded: "Hansu, what are you talking about? Guard Xue is a foreigner. How can he walk around the back house at will? This will not be convenient for investigation at all."
However, Han Su knelt there and looked up at her with tears on her face. Her hair was slightly disheveled and her hairpin trembled slightly with her movements. She looked anxious and pitiful: "Princess, the slave sisters have been serving the princess for many years." , there is hard work even if there is no credit, I would like to ask you, please let Guard Xue investigate the cause of Xian Ning’s death! Guard Xue has learned a lot from Guard Xue, and he will definitely be able to find out the truth soon!"
Xue Huwei was Gongsun Jingzhi's confidant back then, and Gongsun Jingzhi relied on him for his sharp ears and eyes. Xue Xiaowei had been personally taught by his father since he was a child, and he was better than his master, so it was not surprising that Han Su asked him to investigate this matter.
However, what Lin said was not unreasonable. After all, Xue Ping was a foreigner, and it was really inappropriate to frequently come in and out of the back house. The old lady glanced at Han Su and was about to refuse, when Li Qingyi whispered: "Grandma, the guard Xue is The foreign man is right, but the old lady can assign two mothers to accompany him, so that it will be convenient for little guard Xue to ask whoever he wants to ask."
Mrs. Lin frowned and stopped, "Yier, this is inappropriate."
Li Qingyi glanced at her with an aggrieved look, "Princess, please don't get me wrong. Yi'er has no other intentions. He just thinks that everything that happened these days is related to the princess. The princess is deeply involved in it and doesn't know what's going on. She can't easily understand the ins and outs of things." , dragging her back and forth, what if the person behind the scenes wants to deal with the princess next?"
Lin frowned even more. In fact, she was not afraid of Xue Ping coming to investigate this matter. With her scheming, it was easy to fool Xue Ping, but she intuitively felt that Li Qingyi had other motives for doing this.
