Chapter 332 The Queen Mother (41)

What's even more rare is that this most noble woman in the world not only doesn't dislike or avoid such a lowly servant like her, but is also very kind.

The maid was a little cramped, but also a little happy, she took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

"Returning to your mother, preliminary tests show that Zhen Cairen should have been killed at the beginning of the Hai hour last night."

Concubine Shu was shocked: "Zhen Cairen was really killed!"

The female widow nodded affirmatively: "Yes, there are strangle marks on the back of Zhen Cairen's neck, and she was strangled to death from behind, but there were no scratch marks on her neck. The villain guessed that someone should have borrowed the drug First stunned Zhen Cairen, then strangled her to create the illusion of hanging herself."

"It's just...the method is too rough, it looks like it's not done by a veteran, and it's full of flaws, and based on the strangle marks on the back of Zhencai's neck, it can be speculated that the perpetrator should be a woman or servant with great strength but a little short stature. "

"See the Empress."

Just as the female widow finished speaking, a Jin Yiwei with a scar on his face walked over quickly.

Ruan Mian asked, "Have you discovered anything else?"

Dao Scar Jin Yiwei replied: "Your Majesty, a palace lady's body was found in the well in the backyard."

Ruan Mian's face darkened, "Go, go and have a look!"

Concubine Shu immediately grabbed the queen, "My lord, you have a noble body, how can you go to see these things?"

Ruan Mian said to the three of them: "There's nothing you can't see? I want to see what monsters dare to stir up trouble in this harem? The three of you don't follow."

Ruan Mian let Dao Scar Jin Yiwei lead the way, and Ruan Heng and the maid Zuo followed closely behind.

Concubine Shu was in a hurry, "What is this?"

Concubine De was calmer, and comforted her: "Your Majesty is the mother of the country, and ordinary people like us cannot compare, so I am not afraid of those ghosts."

Concubine Shu regretted: "I knew it earlier, I wouldn't scare Zhen Cairen so much yesterday."

Concubine De shook her head: "Since other people have plotted against it, they can't hide it anyway. It can only be said that Zhen Cai's man-made disaster comes from her mouth, and the people behind it are too vicious."

Concubine Liang clasped her hands together: "Amitabha, Amitabha, please don't implicate the empress."

……

"Your Majesty, according to preliminary tests, the court lady was drowned, and the time of her death was also at Haishi last night. There was no traumatic injury on her body, and the possibility of suicide cannot be ruled out."

"Also, my lord, look at her hands, there are strangle marks on the tiger's mouth, and the calluses on her palms are quite thick. Judging from the condition of the calluses, she should have practiced martial arts with sticks... My lord, the height of this court lady is also in line with the murderer who killed Zhencai. feature."

Maid Zuo quickly and carefully performed an autopsy on the palace maid who died in the well.

Ruan Mian glanced at the horribly soaked corpse, without any expression of fear on his face, and said in an extremely cold voice, "Master Ruan, go find the palace servants of Moon Shadow Pavilion to identify it."

"Yes."

Ruan Heng looked at his sister with some concern, then turned and walked out.

The current plan is to quickly solve this murder case so that my sister will not be implicated.

Ruan Heng quickly brought over the big court lady beside Zhen Cairen.

Seeing the dead man on the ground, the palace lady was so frightened that she fell limp on the ground, "Xiao Miao? How could it be Xiao Miao?"

Ruan Mian handed the maid a handkerchief, "Don't be afraid, tell me clearly, I will make the decision."

The maid grabbed the queen's handkerchief, as if it was her life-saving straw, and gradually calmed down, but her voice was still trembling violently.

"My lady, her name is Xiao Miao. She entered the palace five years ago, but because of her unattractive looks and big appetite, she was disliked by the palaces, so she has been sent to do some heavy work."

"Later, my little master almost fell into the water in the Royal Garden once, but it was Xiao Miao who held her back. Seeing that she was honest and strong, my young master asked her to serve in his palace."

"Unexpectedly, Xiao Miao is not only a good hand at work, but also a good stick. My little master is not favored, and His Majesty basically does not summon him. Xiao Miao is here, and can also relieve the little master."

Ruan Mian nodded and asked, "Is there anything unusual after your little master came back yesterday?"

The palace maid carefully glanced at the Empress Empress, not daring to say anything.

Ruan Mian: "No problem, just say it, I will never blame you."

"Xie Niangniang, after the young master came back yesterday, she cried and laughed, and then sang all kinds of praises to you!"

Let all their palace people think that the young master is crazy?
Obviously she was demoted and grounded by the empress!

Ruan Mian's red lips twitched slightly, "What about after that?"

The palace lady replied: "My lord is in a good mood, and I used half a bowl of rice for dinner. It was probably in the middle of Xu time, after my lord had bathed and changed clothes, Miao Miao brought me a bowl of sweet soup. My lord told us to go back. Rest, and leave Xiao Miao alone to talk."

"Because Xiao Miao is very boring and has a strict mouth, so the young master often likes to leave her chatting alone."

Ruan Mian narrowed her eyes slightly, "Did you hear what she said about Bengong during the time when I was sick?"

The palace maid was horrified, "Your Majesty, how dare my little master talk about you?"

Ruan Mian understood, it seems that Zhencai spread the rumor that it was Xiao Miao who spread the rumors about her.

But who is this Xiao Miao?

If it was an old fox in the court, or even Dong Gong and Concubine Dong Gui, who wanted to deal with her, why would they not engage in such a murder case full of flaws?

It's really too low-level!
On the contrary, this is a trick that a woman in the backyard would play.

Ruan Mian looked up and saw a small attic next to Moon Shadow Pavilion, "Where is that place?"

"Go back to your mother, that's where the Seventh Princess lives."

"Seventh Princess?"

"Yes, the Seventh Princess' biological mother is Xia Ye's ten-year-old Jade Concubine, but when she gave birth to the Seventh Princess, she bled too much and passed away. Afterwards, the Seventh Princess has been living in the place where the Jade Concubine was alive."

Ruan Mianxiu frowned slightly: "Your Majesty didn't let other concubines raise the princess?"

The court lady said awkwardly: "This... most of the empresses also have their own children and are very busy. Your Majesty asked a question, but no one wants to, just, forget it..."

To say you are busy is to dislike you, right?

In the ignorant ancient times, the Seventh Princess lost her mother at birth. In everyone's eyes, she is an ominous person who can't control her mother. Which concubine is willing to raise her?

Ruan Mian said to Ruan Hengwen: "You take her down, and by the way, go and ask Seventh Princess to come see me."

Ruan Heng clasped his fists: "Yes, ma'am, leave this to Jin Yiwei and Wu Zuo first, you can go outside and have a rest first."

Ruan Mian was indeed useless to stay here, so instead of rejecting his younger brother's concern, he nodded in agreement.

……

"The sons and ministers see the mother, and the mother is blessed."

Ruan Mian looked at the girl in plain and elegant palace attire, with a beautiful face and elegant temperament, and smiled softly, "Xiao Qi, get up."

"Thank you mother."

The Seventh Princess has the nobility of a royal princess in every move, but she does not make people feel domineering, but is very gentle, making people think she is a very good-tempered girl.
