Qin'er was still looking up at this moment, looking at Princess Qinyang pitifully with her small face, and asked: "Princess, do you really want slaves?"
Qin Yang thought that this court lady was so strange, she was not someone close to her, so sending someone away or condemning her away was a perfectly normal thing, why did she still feel resentment towards herself.
Eyebrows stern, Qin Yang said coldly: "Yes, since you are devoted to the imperial sister wholeheartedly, you should be happy if this palace fulfills you."
Qin'er stared at Princess Qinyang for a long time, her eyes never blinking.
Princess Qinyang was a little flustered by Qin'er's gaze, and called out again: "Come here! Come here for me!"
But outside, there was still no movement at all.
At this time, Qin'er stood up from the ground, and she walked slowly towards the bed. Under Princess Qinyang's gradually flustered eyes, she suddenly smiled, shook her head, and said, "Princess, you can't call me!" Damn, they all went to sleep."
Princess Qinyang finally realized that something was wrong, and the expression on her face became extremely ugly: "You you"
Qin'er smiled and said: "Princess, there are ghosts in this world, but Princess Yuping is not a ghost. Princess Yuping is a fairy and a saint. You are right. Princess Yuping needs someone to serve her, but the maidservant still has a lot of things to do. , I am not qualified to serve Princess Yuping, so I will trouble you, Princess Yuping, go and accompany Princess Yuping first! I have done the calculations, and your horoscope is the most suitable for my master. You are the most suitable person to accompany Princess Yuping."
As Qin'er said, the hand behind her back suddenly stretched out, holding a dagger in her hand, which shone silver in the candlelight.
.
"Boldly come, come, come, there are assassins and there are assassins" Princess Qinyang roared in fright, and while roaring, frantically threw the things at hand on Qin'er.
But Qinyang is in bed, what can he throw
Those soft quilt cushions can't do any harm at all.
Princess Qinyang wanted to get out of bed and run away, but when she finally found an opportunity to rush to the gate, her leg was caught. Qinyang looked back and saw that Qin'er was grinning and holding onto her waist with one hand. Legs, pulling her whole body back.
"Ah—" the ear-piercing scream sounded again.
In the room, the faint candlelight flickered, but the moonlight outside the window was bright and clean.
It was a peaceful night, and it was also a restless night.
On the second day, the murder of Princess Qinyang was widely spread in the harem.
Princess Yuehai didn't sleep well last night, and just took a nap in the morning. When she woke up, she was startled by the report from the palace: "What? Princess Qinyang Qinyang?"
The palace man nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, Princess Qinyang, Princess Qinyang"
"What happened to her?"
"Princess she's gone"
Princess Qinyang is dead
The person who was still alive and kicking yesterday had not breathed after the night passed.
.
The early morning mist hadn't dissipated yet, and the winter cold continued. Emperor Qianling woke up at the empress's place, and when he received the news, he was being served by the empress to change his court clothes.
After hearing the report, the queen was obviously also stunned, and asked repeatedly: "Princess Wan? How is it possible? Wasn't it fine yesterday? Why did Wan suddenly die?"
The palace servants knelt on the ground in fear, not daring to raise their heads: "I don't know, but the maid in the princess's palace came to say that the man is outside. Do you want to see him?"
"Call people in!" It was not the queen who answered, but the emperor.
Hearing the emperor's voice with obvious hostility, the palace people didn't dare to delay, they ran out in a hurry, and after a while, they brought in a palace lady whose eyes were swollen from crying.
The maid was Princess Qinyang's personal maid, she told about the princess' body found when she got up this morning, but she didn't dare to say anything, even she just covered her mouth and choked up when she cried.
Emperor Qianling was furious immediately, and sent an order to postpone the morning court for an hour, and then went to see Princess Qinyang's residence in person.
In the cold palace, sobbing and crying can be heard everywhere. The old king of a country, accompanied by the mother of the country, walked into the sad hall.
The first thing that came into view was the imperial concubine, who was out of breath from crying. Seeing the emperor coming, the imperial concubine managed to maintain her proper demeanor. After paying her respects, the imperial concubine was helped up by the emperor himself.
It is rare for the emperor to be gentle, the imperial concubine immediately cried out, and threw herself into the emperor's arms, tears streaming down her face again.
The emperor patted the concubine's back lovingly, and the concubine's hoarse and difficult voice finally overflowed: "Your majesty, you must make the decision for Qin'er."
"I know, I know."
After all, it is his own daughter, and Princess Qinyang is born of a noble concubine, her status is not trivial, even if she is a daughter, she has always been favored by the emperor.
Handing over the imperial concubine to the queen, the emperor went over and saw the young woman who seemed to be sleeping soundly at her, and closed his eyes fiercely.
Even the king of a country, after all, is a white-haired man giving a black-haired man.
The people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came very quickly.
After seeing the princess's body, several experienced old maids said: "Go back to the emperor, the princess has no wounds on her body, and she doesn't look like she was poisoned. I really can't see the cause of death."
"Ridiculous!" The emperor was furious and shouted: "He was not injured, he was not poisoned, what happened to that man? Have you looked carefully?"
The old maid hurriedly knelt down on the ground, kowtowed repeatedly, while saying forgiveness, but insisted on it, but she couldn't see the cause of death.
When the noble concubine heard this, she cried even harder, until the queen's clothes were wet from crying.
The queen had no choice but to comfort the noble concubine, but she also frowned, looked at the time and said: "The morning time is approaching, if the emperor doesn't want to go to the court first, I will leave the matter of the harem to my palace."
No matter how angry Emperor Qian Ling was, he could not let the civil and military affairs of the Manchu court hang out after all, and ordered the queen to investigate carefully before going to court.
As soon as the emperor left, the queen comforted the imperial concubine superficially, and then went to see Qinyang's body in person.
The old maid was called out by the queen and stood up.
Compared with the emperor's insistence on going his own way, the empress naturally knew more about the ways of the harem, so she asked the old maid: "Is it true that you can't see the cause of death?"
The old maid didn't dare to lie, and said honestly: "My lady, from the outside, it is true that the cause of death cannot be seen, but the princess's expression, does the lady think it is weird?"
The queen looked at Princess Qinyang's face for a long time before her expression suddenly changed.
Princess Qinyang was actually laughing.
Although the corners of his mouth were pursed at a shallow angle, he was indeed smiling.
The old palace lady said in a timely manner: "Princess is smiling while dying. There is a folk saying that ghosts take their lives, confuse people's yin and yang, make people insane, and laugh at death."
"You mean?"
The queen didn't believe it, but the old maid nodded her head: "In my view, Princess Qinyang has been killed by a ghost. Madam, this old slave is bold. If you really want to give the princess justice, or not, please Some masters, do a good ritual in the palace, especially the Puxiang Palace where Princess Yuping was alive."
