Murong Yu walked out quickly, and asked deeply: "I seem to have found it somewhere?"
Seeing that he was so anxious, Murong Ci felt a little blocked.
Shen Zhiyan pointed to the two guards under the steps of the palace, "These two guards saw it and said that Concubine Xiao seems to be in Lingfeng Pavilion, but they are not sure."
Murong Yu looked at her inadvertently, and there seemed to be infinite meaning in his eyes, "Let's go and have a look."
She glared at him and walked out first.
Lingfeng Pavilion is not far from Qingluan Hall, in the southwest of it, it is located in the center of the Western Palace Garden, and it is also a commanding height of the Western Palace Garden. There are four floors in Lingfeng Pavilion, with a wide view, carved beams and painted buildings, and exotic flowers are planted around it. Usually, many concubines come here to relax and play.
Today is Concubine Xiao's birthday banquet, and the concubines in the harem are going to celebrate her birthday, many palace people are transferred to organize the birthday banquet, no one came to Lingfeng Pavilion.
The female relatives and nobles who were waiting and resting in the side hall heard that they had found Concubine Xiao, and also heard that they were in Lingfeng Pavilion, they were excited and ran out one after another to see what was going on. Several palace people tried to stop them but couldn't stop them.
As a result, hundreds of people flocked to Lingfeng Pavilion.
Murong Yu, Murong Ci and others arrived at Lingfeng Pavilion ahead, followed by a lot of palace servants and guards.
Standing on your side, looking up, the one standing outside the vermilion fence on the fourth floor of Lingfeng Pavilion is Concubine Xiao.
Everyone was shocked, what did Concubine Xiao do to fly down like a big bird
Murong Ci frowned, Concubine Xiao's whole body leaned outwards, forming an angle with Zhu Lan, she would fall anytime, it was very dangerous.
She turned to look at Murong Yu, his face was ashen, and there was a large haze in his eyes.
I am really worried about Concubine Xiao's safety.
"Did Concubine Xiao stand there by herself, or was it done by a thief?" Shen Zhiyan said incredulously, "It stands to reason that Concubine Xiao's posture is easy to fall."
"Isn't Concubine Xiao's hands holding the railing in reverse? It's just why she did that?" She was puzzled, could it be that the thief threatened her
The beautiful sun hangs brightly in the blue sky, and half of the sky is covered with clouds, bright red and golden, magnificent and magnificent.
On the high pavilion, the evening glow is blowing, Concubine Xiao Gui's black hair and clothes are flying together, and the scarlet seven-fold gauze dress is fluttering like flames, which burns people's eyes.
The women's family members and the famous sons who rushed over gathered below, looking up and whispering.
Shen Zhili had an ominous premonition, she was sad when she was extremely beautiful, and declined when she was extremely prosperous.
Concubine Xiao is like a phoenix soaring in the sky, as if she will ride the wind to return at any time, or she will ignite a fire and die in the fire.
Murong Yu's face was cold, and he ordered several guards to rush up to save people. At this moment, the vermilion phoenix on the Lingfeng Pavilion fell against the wind.
The seven-fold veil flutters and flutters like bright red wings, in the bright red sunset, in the golden red sunset, in the erratic long wind, and returns with the wind.
"ah"
Several timid ladies from aristocratic families uttered shrill screams, Tao Zhi's complexion changed drastically, and she screamed in horror: "Imperial concubine!"
Everyone was stunned, staring blankly at this prosperous, fantastic, and weird scene.
Murong Yu flew away, trying to catch him.
Murong Ci sighed inwardly, although she hated Concubine Xiao Gui, but after all, it was a human life, so it was understandable for him to save someone.
With his lightness skills and internal strength, it shouldn't be difficult to catch Xiao Guifei who fell from a high altitude.
However, he didn't know whether it was because of his miscalculation, or because the strong wind blew the man off course, or because he was running too slowly, the man fell heavily half a foot in front of him.
boom
muffled sound.
This scene has become the midnight nightmare of countless people.
She was thinking, he could fly into the air and catch people.
But why didn't he do it
At this moment, she didn't have time to think deeply, so she rushed up with Shen Zhiyan to see if Concubine Xiao Gui was still alive.
The daring ones rushed up to see what was going on, and Taozhi rushed to the front. When she saw her master fell like this, she knelt down on the ground in grief, crying and calling: "Great concubine, noble concubine!"
Blood flowed from Concubine Xiao's head, and soon meandered into a river. Those beautiful eyes were open, as if they were dying, and they seemed to be accusing everyone.
Shen Zhili's heart was beating violently, after one glance, he didn't dare to look again.
Unexpectedly, Concubine Xiao Gui, who warned her aggressively not long ago, would die unexpectedly and jump down from Lingfeng Pavilion in front of so many people.
Murong Ci didn't know what mood he was in, he had mixed feelings.
She once thought of assassinating Concubine Xiao, so that Concubine Xiao could no longer confuse her father; she once hated Concubine Xiao to death, wishing to kill Concubine Xiao with a single sword. However, now that she witnessed Concubine Xiao falling to her death from a high altitude, she didn't feel the slightest bit of joy, instead she felt that life was impermanent.
Today is her birthday, and on this joyful day, her death is so tragic and tragic, and it will become a hotly discussed event among the ruling and opposition parties.
Life and death are often just a thought.
Shen Zhiyan inspected it carefully, and said sadly: "Concubine Xiao Gui fell with her head down, and there is no way to recover."
This sentence really announced Xiao Guifei's life, so far.
Murong
Yu ordered the guards to carry the body back to Qingluan Palace, and then ordered the servants to arrange for all the female family members and famous princes to leave the palace, and then said to Shen Zhiyan, "Go up and have a look."
Shen Zhiyan nodded, and boarded Lingfeng Pavilion with Murongci.
Murong Shi secretly glanced at the body of Concubine Xiao Gui who was being carried away, shrank and said to Shen Zhili: "It's so scary."
Shen Zhili said calmly: "Princess, let's go out of the palace."
When she turned around, she looked back at the black figure, her eyes full of obsession.
He was as imposing, wise and powerful as before, but he didn't know her yet.
Ascending to the fourth floor of Lingfeng Pavilion, Murong Ci said softly: "My lord's condolences."
Murong Yu looked at her indifferently, but didn't speak, his snow-colored face was radiating a little chill.
"I am sincere."
"Why should the king mourn?"
"She's yours."
Of course, there was a third person present, so she didn't say this, she just rolled her eyes speechlessly and looked inside the room.
On each floor of Lingfeng Pavilion, there are desk chairs for people who come here to rest. Palace people often come to clean it, so it is spotless, but there are many footprints on the ground, but there are many people who come to Lingfeng Pavilion, so it is not of much value.
Shen Zhiyan and Murong Ci came to the corridor outside, looked around, and then stood where Concubine Xiao fell.
Murong Yu asked in a deep voice, "Have you found anything?"
Shen Zhiyan squatted down and looked at the ground, "I haven't found it yet."
Murong Ci lay on Zhu Lan and looked out, when Murong Yu suddenly grabbed her arm, his heart trembled.
She looked back at him and asked with her eyes: What are you doing
He let go of his hand and replied with his eyes: Be careful.
She continued to look down on the vermilion railing, and sighed: "It's quite high to fall from here, but if you fall with your legs down, if you're lucky, at most you'll break your arms and legs, and it won't be fatal. Huh?"
She suddenly squatted down, stretched out her hand to the outside of Zhulan, and when she retracted, she pinched a thin white silk thread with her fingers, "What is this?"
Shen Zhiyan took it and unfolded the thin silk thread, "It should be silk from the sky."
Murong Yu said coldly: "Silk threads made of silkworms are as sharp as blades and as soft as water. They are sharp enough to penetrate armor and can be used for weapons."
For a moment, Murong Ci's mind flashed and he couldn't help but close his eyes.
"What's the matter, Your Highness?" His deep eyes, which were still cold, showed some concern.
"Your Highness is fine, the prince doesn't need to worry." Shen Zhiyan knew that His Highness had this habit, and said with a smile, "Your Highness is thinking about the case."
Not long after, she opened her eyes, which were as clear as water, "Zhiyan, do you think Concubine Xiao Gui jumped down by herself?"
He shook his head heavily, "How could concubine Xiao Gui jump down by herself for no reason? Concubine Xiao Gui didn't have a reason to commit suicide or seek death. This is obviously unreasonable."
Murong Yu objected: "But Concubine Xiao looks like she jumped off herself."
Shen Zhiyan immediately retorted: "My lord, have you forgotten that Concubine Xiao was brought here captive by a thief. The thief should have set up a plot for Concubine Xiao to commit suicide from Lingfeng Pavilion, so that everyone would think that Concubine Xiao jumped down by herself." of."
When the evening wind blew, Murong Ci's broad sleeves and the black hair on the back of his head fluttered together, "First of all, Concubine Xiao Guifei didn't jump down by herself, she was not awake at the time, or she was awake but unable to move, and was hit by someone. hole."
"At that time, Concubine Xiao Gui was standing outside the Zhulan, leaning outwards, only by holding the Zhulan with both hands, she did not fall. If she was not awake, or someone tapped her acupuncture points, how would she use force, how would she hold herself to lean out? Body," Shen Zhiyan retorted.
"You forgot that there is this thing." She unfolded the celestial silk, her brows full of confidence, "The celestial silk is long enough to wrap around Concubine Xiao's waist, and then tie it to the Zhulan. The thief broke the celestial silk At that time, a small stone was used as a hidden weapon to unlock Concubine Xiao's acupuncture point, and when she was awake, it was too late to save herself, and she watched herself fall."
"Although the celestial silk is very thin, it is enough to support for a while. When the celestial silk breaks, people will fall." Murong Yu's eyes were cold, "When everyone was looking at the corpse below, the thief took the opportunity to escape."
"This thief's killer technique is really clever." Shen Zhi said.
"What is puzzling is that the murderer has the ability to capture Concubine Xiao here and set up a trap to commit suicide by jumping from a pavilion, so why not simply kill her?" Murong Ci frowned, "What exactly does the murderer want?" Woolen cloth"
"Concubine Xiao is the head of all the concubines in the harem. She is deeply favored and honored. The murderer chose such a troublesome method to make her commit suicide by jumping from a pavilion. She died in such a tragic and tragic way in front of so many people. "Shen Zhiyan said happily, "The murderer wants Concubine Xiao to die tragically while everyone is watching."
Murong Ci nodded in agreement, "That's the only explanation."
Murong Yu asked gloomyly: "The murderer is a woman, most likely someone from the palace. There are so many palace people and concubines in the palace, how can we find out?"
She went on to say: "There are many court ladies who hate Concubine Xiao Gui. If we start from this aspect, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find out. Besides, most of the court ladies do not have martial arts."
Shen Zhiyan held up the silkworm and said, "There is only one clue right now, and that is this silkworm."
Whoever owns the silk is suspected of committing the crime.
The problem is, you can't search one by one.
