Chapter 253: Draft, murder
Chapter 253: Draft, murder
Yuwen Qingwan wanted to squeeze in, but was stopped by other beauties who were watching the fun.
I could only follow Zhou Yan's gaze.
I saw a black fish swimming towards Yu Mingmingzhu. There was indeed something on its head. As its body swayed, it emitted golden light, so I couldn't see the black fish's true appearance.
But behind the black fish, a group of small goldfish gradually followed.
They swam towards the pond in tacit understanding.
The concubines found it very interesting and kept waving their hands on the shore.
"Come here, come here quickly..."
Everyone seemed very excited.
Yuwen Qingwan was also stunned. Why do these little fish like to be in places where there are people?
Soon, they swam to the edge of the pond, wagging their tails as if asking for food from people on the shore.
Even if it is a black fish, it won’t have horns.
What's that thing on its head?
Yu Wen Qingwan felt a little strange when she saw this scene.
Just as she wanted to get closer to see more clearly, someone suddenly screamed.
"Look, what is that?"
I don't know who exclaimed.
I saw a dead body floating out from the rockery in the pond.
The concubines had never seen such a scene before.
He immediately screamed and ran away in a hurry.
The scene immediately became chaotic, and as people got together, Yuwen Qingwan could no longer see Yuwen Mingzhu.
"Someone's dead, someone's dead..."
The concubines ran and screamed.
But soon we heard that an accident happened again.
Just hear a pop.
"Ah, help, help..."
"Someone fell into the water, hurry up... hurry up and save him."
The scene was chaotic and the noise was disjointed.
Yuwen Qingwan was pushed out by someone.
But when I stood at the door, I saw that the person struggling in the water and shouting for help was Mingzhu.
And somehow, she was connected to the corpse. Whenever she moved, the corpse would keep circling around her.
"Save someone quickly."
Seeing this scene, she panicked and hurriedly called for help.
But it was so chaotic that no one seemed to be able to hear her.
She could only watch Mingzhu floundering in the pool, screaming in fear at the corpse, and running around everywhere.
It was unknown how much time had passed before guards and palace servants finally ran in and brought the chaotic situation under control.
The guards also fished Yu Mingmingzhu out of the water.
But she was already unconscious and hadn't gotten out of the pool yet. When she turned around, she saw the corpse right behind her, as if it had been following her. She screamed suddenly and fainted.
Yuwen Qingya finally arrived at her side.
"I don't know what happened, but Miss Mingzhu has a lot of silver-white silk threads on her body, and they are completely tied to this corpse. It's very tight, and I'm afraid it won't be able to be pulled apart for a while."
Two eunuchs carried Yu Mingmingzhu and the guards carried the body as they left the pond.
That scene was indescribably funny.
"Send him back to his room first. I will report to the Queen right away."
About a quarter of an hour later.
Su Rong arrived, and brought with her a group of concubines, even the Queen Mother and Concubine Yue were there.
Since today is the day for beauties to enter the palace and be chosen as concubines for the Emperor, the harem naturally has to agree on the rules and prepare for the subsequent selection.
Su Rong walked in front, and even the empress dowager was half a step slower than her.
Liu Yunshang supported him carefully, with Shen Zhishu and Yunmeng beside him.
After that, it was Concubine Yue.
She walked at the end, like the finale. Looking from the front to the back, one could not help but be amazed by her.
Regardless of her appearance, I just feel that Concubine Yue is truly graceful, noble and arrogant, and no one can compare to her.
"Isn't there a death? Where is the body?"
Everyone in the yard was kneeling on the ground.
Su Rong glanced over with an arrogant attitude and a hint of annoyance, as if she didn't want to deal with what was happening at all.
"Reporting to Her Majesty the Queen, the body is now placed in the house, and the palace servants are trying to separate her from Lady Mingzhu."
Aunt Zhang, the head aunt of Lanfangyuan, quickly stepped forward to respond.
"How many died?"
Su Rong frowned as she listened.
How is this different from what was reported?
"Your Majesty, this is what happened..."
After a few words.
Su Rong brought everyone to Yu Mingzhu's room.
"Xianfei, it seems that you have a great connection with the Yuwen family."
It's a coincidence.
The house that Yu Mingzhu lives in now is the one where Shen Zhishu lived in the past.
She had heard from the emperor that the Yuwen family had sent their daughter to participate in the beauty contest, but when she saw Yuwen Qingwan in the room, she was so surprised that she couldn't recover.
Suddenly being called by Su Rong again, she happened to meet Yu Wen Qingwan's gaze and smiled friendly.
But the situation inside the house now is really creepy.
Yu Mingzhu fell into a deep coma, and next to him was a female corpse whose body was swollen all over and whose face was soaked and rotten beyond recognition.
Then five or six palace maids gathered in the center, holding scissors and cutting the silk threads wrapped around the two people with trembling hands, trying to separate them as quickly as possible.
Su Rong walked forward calmly.
She had seen far more tragic deaths on the battlefield, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
But before she could check, she heard Liu Yunshang's exclamation.
"The Empress Dowager..."
The Queen Mother was so frightened by this scene that she fainted.
With a bunch of people surrounding him, he became flustered again.
"First install the Queen Mother in the next room. If you can't bear to see such a scene, you don't have to follow."
Su Rong frowned and gave orders calmly.
What a bunch of women who have never seen the world.
Judging from the other people's faces, they all looked unhappy.
So she thought, she shouldn't stay here and cause trouble.
Hearing this, Shen Zhishu hurriedly supported the empress dowager and went to the next room.
A hint of sarcasm instantly appeared at the corner of Su Rong's mouth.
Don't you like to fight with her? How can someone with such a vicious mind not be able to see a dead body? It's really disgusting.
"Who is the deceased?"
Su Rong calmly walked around the corpse and began to look at it.
"Your Majesty, I can't really see her face clearly, but judging by her clothes and the ornaments around her waist, I'm afraid she is Aunt Li Yueping from the Xinzheku."
The aunt in charge was about the same age as the deceased and was considered an elder in the palace, so she knew some of the situation.
"What background?"
Su Rong asked again.
Next room.
The Queen Mother fainted for a while, then slowly recovered. She was just breathless and looked very weak, and couldn't walk for a while.
"You are really something. If you are weak, just stay in the bedroom and take care of yourself. Why do you have to come out? You know there is a murder here."
Concubine Yue sat aside, still calmly drinking tea and mocking the Queen Mother.
"I just didn't expect that she would die so tragically."
The Queen Mother sighed, her look of compassion again.
"Mother, do you know who that is?"
This made Shen Zhishu curious.
How can I recognize him when his face looks like that?
"The purse on her waist was given to her by me as a reward. How could you not recognize it?"
The Queen Mother said earnestly.
