He shook his head slightly. After all, there were many things in the harem that were not something that a servant like him could discuss recklessly. But now, these two possibilities have been ruled out. If that were the case, it would most likely be a murder, so he had to be more cautious.
The maid in charge heard that someone had died in the well early in the morning, so she hurried over immediately. After all, if it was not a big deal, there would be no need to trouble the emperor.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Quickly find a few people who are quick and have them salvage the body." Compared to the other frightened maids, the head nanny seemed to be fearless. After all, she had seen this kind of thing many times in the harem, and her heart had begun to become numb.
The housekeeper turned around and comforted everyone. After all, for these maids, it was almost the first time they experienced such a thing, so they were inevitably a little frightened, so they needed the housekeeper to comfort them.
Sun Ning took two steps forward, but the uneasiness in his heart became even more obvious.
I hope it's not such a coincidence.
"Madam, we heard that something happened early in the morning, but which poor girl?" Sun Ning took two steps inside, and the maids and eunuchs surrounding them moved aside. After all, Eunuch Sun's status was different from theirs.
"Oh, Eunuch Sun, what brings you here?" The housekeeper was calling out to someone nearby. When she took a look, it turned out to be Eunuch Sun.
"Do you know which palace this person is from?" Sun Ning glanced towards the wellhead, but couldn't see clearly, so he turned around and asked the housekeeper beside him.
"Hey, isn't this Zi Xin? I don't know what happened to this poor girl. I guess she was thinking about her master and couldn't get over it, so she jumped into the well and committed suicide." As if to suit the occasion, the nanny in charge wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with the handkerchief in her hand.
The maid in charge sighed, "What a coincidence! Today, a maid came to the well to fetch water and unexpectedly found Zi Xin's body. The maid was frightened. Well, I hope everything is fine."
"So that's how it is. What a coincidence." Sun Ning chatted with the housekeeper nanny for a while. After all, he knew everything he needed to know. He just felt a little regretful. However, the death was really timely. The emperor had just sent him here, and he died.
Now, one clue has been broken again. I had been planning to find the housekeeper today to ask Zi Xin some questions, but now it seems that I am too late.
"Okay, I still have things to do at home, so I'll ask the housekeeper to take care of these things." After the chat, Sun Ning immediately rushed to the imperial study. After all, this matter was not a trivial matter.
If an ordinary maid had died, it would not be a big deal. But this time, the maid was different from others. She was not only the princess's maid, but also had some connection with this case.
At this moment, Fu Yuheng was reviewing memorials in the imperial study, but he did not have much patience. He flipped through the memorials for a long time but did not write anything.
The noise coming from outside the study made Fu Yuheng raise his eyes slightly, "Your servant greets the emperor." Eunuch Sun hurriedly saluted.
"Please stand up. What's the matter with you coming here?" Fu Yuheng was a little confused.
Eunuch Sun did not dare to hide it for a moment and quickly told him the matter, "Your Majesty, this morning, the princess's maid, Zi Xin, died. She was found in the well by a maid who was fetching water."
"What!" Fu Yuheng frowned, feeling somewhat shocked.
All this happened by coincidence. A few days ago, Zi Xin was fine. How come he suddenly died today
And it is related to this incident. Does this mean that the person who murdered the princess might be someone else? But if you think so, who is behind all this
In an instant, my head was filled with worries, but I couldn't sort them out.
The father-in-law could only stand by and worry, but he couldn't think of any solution for a while. After all, this incident happened too suddenly and it was impossible to guard against it.
"I understand." There was a hint of fatigue in Fu Yuheng's voice. He closed his eyes slightly. The ring on his finger had a pleasant color and was indeed a good material.
“Yes…” Eunuch Sun said nothing more and walked out.
The current development of the situation is a bit tricky, and now with Zi Xin's death, there is no evidence for anything. That cold face begins to appear in my mind.
Even so, she still remains indifferent, as if there is nothing in this world that can move her
Fu Yuheng's eyes became long and he looked out the window at where Shen Qingwan lived.
The flowers in the palace were in full bloom, and the fragrance was pleasant all the way. Xiao Shushen had been feeling a little bored staying in the palace these past few days, so today, as she looked at the bright sunshine outside and thought about getting rid of some of her worries, she felt quite comfortable.
I came to the Imperial Garden in the harem and started to tour the garden. It seemed that yesterday's cruelty was just a flash in the pan. I calculated the time in my heart and it was about time for Nanny Gui to come back.
He felt somewhat happy in his heart. It seemed that now that there was no evidence, if he wanted to prove Shen Qingwan's innocence, all clues would be gone.
"Your Majesty, Aunt Gui is here..." She was tired from strolling in the garden, and the sun was a little scorching, so she thought of going into the pavilion to rest for a while. After a while, the palace maid beside her leaned close to her ear and whispered.
"Hmm." He murmured softly and tasted the sweet and sour summer plum tea, which instantly eased the anxiety in his heart.
She took the fish food from the maid, looked at the goldfish living in harmony in the lake, raised her hand, and the fish seemed to be inspired by something and began to fight with each other.
After a while, Aunt Gui came.
After sending the maids aside, Xiao Shushen sat in the pavilion, feeding the fish with fish food in her hand. She felt quite amused watching them fight with each other.
"Your Majesty, it has been handled. I guarantee there won't be any future troubles." Nanny Gui leaned close to the Queen's ear and whispered.
After hearing what Nanny Gui said, the Queen felt relieved, and even her face turned a little pink.
"Hey, fish, eat quickly. Only when you are full will you have strength." He threw all the fish food into the pond, with a gleam of light in his eyes.
"Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Gui."
"Your Majesty, this is embarrassing me." Nanny Gui was about to kneel down, but was stopped by Xiao Shushen. She covered her face with her hands and smiled, then wiped the corner of her mouth gently and gracefully. She just looked towards the bedroom in the distance, and the ruthlessness in her eyes became more and more obvious.
Even if the emperor becomes suspicious, he will not let her get away with it completely. As for the people outside the palace, let them speculate. Anyway, we cannot let that bitch have a good reputation.
