Chapter 151 The True Identity of the Female Corpse in Cangshu Pavilion
Lei Yuxiu supported the edge of the bed and sat up straight.

Looking around carefully, the flickering candles on the table glowed with a faint warm light, and the furnishings in the room were in the style of Beirong.

For a moment, he couldn't tell whether this was reality or an illusion.

The dizziness still haunted his mind.

Mai'er heard the sound, knocked on the door and came in. Seeing that Lei Yuxiu was awake, she hurried to the bedside, "Master, you are awake."

When Lei Yuxiu saw Maier, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Pour me a glass of water."

Mai'er walked around and poured a glass of warm water to Lei Yuxiu.

Lei Yuxiu took the teacup and drank it down in one gulp, only then was he convinced that he was in reality.

"Master, I'll go and tell Miracle Doctor Sixie that you're awake, and let him come over and have a look at you again."

"No need." Lei Yuxiu stopped Mai'er, "Take me to Xiaoman's bedroom."

"Master, you just woke up..."

"It's okay."

Lei Yuxiu got up and changed his clothes, walked through the night to Xiaoman's bedroom.

Along the way, he began to recall all the things that happened in his own life when he met Xiao Man himself and now.

In these years, he has always had a doubt in his heart, that is, Xiaoman often predicts the occurrence of some events and knows the existence of some hidden places.

At this moment, Lei Yuxiu, who recalled the memories of the previous two lives, wondered whether Xiaoman also had the same memories of the previous life as him.

Thinking of this, Lei Yuxiu couldn't help feeling terrified.

Ruo Xiaoman remembered how he treated her contemptuously and abused her in his previous life, and how he believed in his deep love for her in this life, and agreed to stay with him for the rest of his life.

When they came to Xiaoman's bedroom, the maids arranged Xiaoman's belongings neatly one by one for Lei Yuxiu to inspect.

She doesn't have many clothes and jewelry, and the few pearl hairpins are worn out but she still wears one.

"Is all her jewelry here?"

The maids nodded yes.

"Bold!" Lei Yuxiu suddenly raised his voice and angrily said, "Stealing the princess's belongings, what should I do?!"

The maids were frightened half to death, they all knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe.

Mai'er looked at the maids all over the place, and said in a cold voice: "Within a stick of incense, you'd better hand over the things you stole, so that you can keep the whole body. If no one handed over, then each of you will be handed over. All of you and your family will be put to death! If there are any of you who report on others, once it is found out that something has happened, not only will you not be killed, but you will be rewarded."

The maids lay on the ground and looked at each other.

For several days, cold sweat oozes from his forehead, and his body trembles.

Finally, one couldn't bear it anymore, and while kowtowing, he took out a pair of earrings from his bosom, and put his hands on top of his head.

Maier took back the earrings from her hand and put them back in Xiaoman's jewelry box.

Immediately afterwards, many court ladies also handed in the stolen goods one after another.

One of the court ladies who handed over the stolen goods pointed to another court lady, "I saw her steal the princess's pearl hairpin that day with my own eyes."

The court lady identified by her retorted loudly: "Nonsense, when did you see me stealing the princess's hairpin?"

"Just when the princess was going to the Library Pavilion, it happened to be your turn to be on duty. I had already returned to my room to rest, but I remembered that the princess had ordered me to get a thicker mat for the beast, so I went back to the princess bedroom. At this time I saw you sneaking out of the princess bedroom with something in your hand."

"You spitting blood! It is absolutely impossible for you to see me."

"Except for you who was on duty that day, everyone has already returned to the maid's office. And I also came out after returning to the maid's office first. The aunt of the maid's office can confirm that everyone except you and I went to bed on time that night. You said who else could there be besides you?"

"General Mingjian! It's definitely not me! That day...that day..."

Lei Yuxiu saw that the identified court lady evaded her words, and said sharply, "Why are you so sure it's not you? You have evidence to prove your innocence."

"I did. That day I saw that the princess was not in the room but went to the Library Pavilion. I knew that the princess would not come back all night, so after everyone returned to the palace maid's room, I boldly went to have a tryst with the guard A Rensu ...Arensu can testify for me. So the person she saw stealing in the bedroom must not be me."

Maier then asked: "Who did you comb the princess's hair that day?"

"It's the servant girl..." The accused palace lady lowered her head and replied.

"What hair accessory did you wear on the princess's head that day?"

"The princess that day... that morning, the princess brought her jade grape hairpin, tassels and earrings, and when she came back, she unraveled her hair, removed all these accessories, and ordered her servants to tie up a simple hairdo. bun."

Maier asked: "Are you sure the princess has taken off all the hair accessories?"

"Sure," the palace maid said firmly, "Those of us who serve close to us all know the habit of the princess. The first thing we do when we come back from court is to take off the jewelry."

Lei Yuxiu frowned upon hearing this.

"This set of jade grape jewellery, does the princess wear as a set or individually when she goes to court?" Mai'er asked.

"The princess puts on the whole set for the first court, and takes off the whole set for the next court." The maid said.

As soon as this sentence came out, all the maids nodded.

Maier inspected Xiaoman's jewelry one by one.

"Master, except for the hairpin missing from the jade grape jewelry set, the rest of the jewelry is a complete set. But..." Maier paused, then continued, "The white jade bracelet that the princess always wears on her wrist is not included."

Lei Yuxiu coldly glanced at all the court ladies.

After hearing this, the maids scrambled to say that it was not themselves.

"General, it is possible to say that other jewelry was stolen, but the white jade bracelet is worn by the princess every day, and we have never seen the princess take it off." A big court lady said anxiously.

"Yes, the princess never took off that bracelet even when she was taking a bath." The other also echoed, "Slaves can't steal it even if they want to."

"I remember the princess said that it's not that she didn't want to take off the bracelet, but that the ring is too small and can't be taken off." Another court lady added.

Lei Yuxiu calmed down, and he also relaxed a little.

A jade grape hair ornament that was never worn alone was found in the ruins of Zangshuge, but the Juling bracelet that Xiaoman never left was found.And that night, someone saw a court lady stealing in the princess' bedroom.

These all confirmed Lei Yuxiu's idea that the woman's body found in the ruins of Zangshu Pavilion was not Xiaoman, but a court lady who stole her hairpin and then entered Zangshu Pavilion.

Who is this court lady?Why did you steal the hairpin, and why did you enter the Zangshu Pavilion?
After finding the answers to these three questions, Lei Yuxiu believes that he will be able to find clues to Xiaoman's disappearance.

"Mai'er, check!" Lei Yuxiu ordered.

Maier took the order and quickly started investigating in Beirong Palace.

In the early morning of the second day, Mai'er came to return to his life.

"Master, the palace maid delicacies in the imperial dining room have disappeared since the fire in the library. Her mother was seriously ill, and she had been relying on this court lady to send money home for treatment. The money she sent home was the valuables in the palace After the things were stolen, they were bought by the palace man Shuntong who went out of the palace to sell the proceeds. Shuntong had already explained that he and Jia Yao made an appointment to trade in the unattended Library Pavilion that day, but because he met the guard Le Tai on the road, he got Princess Zhi has already arrived at the Library Pavilion. He was worried that the transaction would be discovered by the princess, so he didn't go to the appointment."

Lei Yuxiu said in a deep voice: "That is to say, the court lady who stole the hair accessories was anxious to sell the stolen goods. Even if she knew that Xiaoman was in the library, she resolutely entered the library and waited for the palace maid who was in charge of selling it. After the library caught fire, she did not escape. Come out, that's why Xiaoman's hairpin and a female corpse were found in the Library Pavilion."

"Not only that," Mai'er continued to report, "My subordinates found out that there were seven corpses in the secret room of the library, and the princess arranged for the palace staff to bury these corpses and clean the secret room."

Lei Yuxiu frowned, "I know about this, what's wrong?"

"A palace official in charge of cleaning the secret room said that the princess only asked the palace staff to bury six corpses in the end, and put the most complete body in the secret room. But my investigation last night found that the secret room had collapsed Burn it, but the male corpse is also missing."

Lei Yuxiu smiled slightly, and said to Maier, "Go ask Xuanyue for help, and look for Xiaoman's trace on the back mountain."
