Chapter 176
Li Tian still wanted to say something, but after seeing Liu Shuihan's impatient expression, he swallowed the words in his mouth. Fortunately, it was just a small concubine who died, which was so thickly buried. The little one understands, and the little one will do it. After bending down and saluteing, Li Tian took several servants away together.
"Oi, everyone, let's step down. Don't mention anything more about today." Liu Shui glanced at the women sitting at the head with a cold face and opened his mouth faintly.
"I understand." The concubines got up one after another and replied in awe, and then hurriedly left the front hall and walked towards the south courtyard where they lived.
When she was about to arrive at the South Courtyard, Zhitao stopped and stood in the corridor and said in a sarcastic tone, "This man really can't just look at the surface. He looks innocent, but he may be thinking of some unspeakable ideas in his heart. If he seizes the opportunity, he will frame his sisters."
Obviously, the meaning of this sentence refers to Cai Qing's behavior in the front hall.
"That's right. He usually looks honest, but I really can't figure out what this person is thinking." Mu Qing stood beside Zhitao and saw Cai Qing and his party come over and said quickly, and his eyes always glanced at them intentionally or unintentionally. Fortunately, Princess Liu is a reasonable person and will not be deceived.
Caiqing and Lianyue walked at the end. As soon as they arrived at the cloister, they heard the words of Zhitao and Muqing, while Chuxia and Manwen Erlan stood aside with a sarcastic smile on their faces.
Lianyue is an impatient man who can't hide his anger in his stomach. She immediately got annoyed. She walked three steps and two steps to stand in front of Zhitao. She raised her eyebrows and said, "In this world, I can't figure out people's minds. Even this beast can speak human words, but my sister Caiqing has a good temper and has never been eye-catching. The beasts generally care about it.
Being scolded as a beast by Lian Yue pointed to their noses, how could Zhitao and Mu Qing bear this breath? When the beautiful eyebrows with green faces frowned tightly together. Who do you think is a beast? The children born to lowly people are lowly and they are so unbred to speak. Zhitao spat disgustingly and waved the handkerchief in her hand as if Lianyue had something dirty on her body.
"Whoever responds is that beast! Oh, how can I remember that except for the Caidie who just died, who is an official lady, the rest of our concubines are the children of ordinary people? Lianyue opened a pair of big watery eyes and stared straight at Zhitao with a doubtful expression.
Zhi Tao realized that she actually scolded herself in, and now she was a little annoyed. This Lianyue always fought against her everywhere, and the resentment between the two had long been concluded. Lianyue, don't pretend to be innocent with Mrs. Ben. Do you really think that others don't know about your little thought?
Lianyue looked at Zhitao, who was white and green for a while, and shook her head. "What does Lianyue have to do with you? Is it possible that you haven't thought of taking away the prince's favor and live a comfortable life in this palace? In the end, Lianyue was already in a very sarcastic tone.
Zhi Tao would never deny that she had such an idea, but she was still a little ashamed and angry when she was ridiculed by Lian Yue's tone. Humph, let's see. The vicious prince will never like you just because of her thoughts! Let's go!" Zhitao stared at Caiqing, who had not spoken from beginning to end, and left with his sisters with hatred.
"Sister Caiqing, don't pay attention to these crazy women. Everyone is as superficial as her, and their thoughts are all on men." Lian Yue spat fiercely in the direction of Zhitao and others leaving, and then turned around and said to Cai Qing.
Caiqing smiled, but his bright eyes flashed with light that others couldn't understand. Lian Yue, why do you have to be angry with these people? You and I just need to do our own duty.
Bai Ling, standing aside, didn't understand why the sisters who entered the house on the same day became like this. Although the Caidie sister was very unpleasant, she died so suddenly, and Bai Ling was still a little sad. Sister Caiqing, Sister Lianyue, why do Sister Zhitao hate us so much?
Caiqing didn't say anything. On the contrary, Lianyue touched Bai Ling's head pitifully and said gently, "Linger still doesn't understand the battle between women. It's unscrupulous for the sake of favor status."
Bai Ling nodded as if she didn't understand, and the status of favor did not have any delicious food for her.
Xia He followed Li Tian to the place where the body of the colorful butterfly was shelved. When she first saw the body of the colorful butterfly, Xia He couldn't help vomiting directly. Normally, the temperature in winter is low, and it is impossible for the body to rot so quickly. What's more, the color butterfly died last night and it was less than seven hours, but the body has some traces of decay.
After running outside and vomiting for a long time, Xia He felt more comfortable in her stomach and boldly went in to see the situation of the colorful butterfly. The original rosy and petite face is so swollen that I can't see the original appearance at this moment. The big eyes suddenly hang in the eyes, as if they are about to fall out with a little force. The small tongue has also become black and hard at this moment, shrugged on the lips, and there is a circle of crimson marks under the neck. It seems that it was pulled out by the rope when he hanged himself. Come here.
In other places, Xia He did not see anything wrong because she was wearing clothes, but the slender little hands showed some signs of blackness at this moment.
"Why are you here, Xia He?" After Li Tian ordered his servants to approach the room where the body of the colorful butterfly's body was placed, he saw Xia He standing in front of the colorful butterfly body and keep looking at something, so he came forward and asked.
Hearing someone's words, Xia He was shocked and looked back to see that it was the housekeeper Li. Then she was relieved. "I met the housekeeper Li. When I returned to housekeeper Li, I always thought that Princess Lin was poisoned because of Mrs. Caidie. I was very surprised to hear the news of Mrs. Caidie's death, so I wanted to come and have a look."
After listening to Xia He's words, Li Tian couldn't help but think deeply. Previously, Princess Liu also said that Caidiefu had called the name of Princess Lin before her life, and also said that the death of Princess Lin was not her business... Does Princess Lin's poisoning really have anything to do with Caidie? Did Princess Lin wake up?
"Princess Lin hasn't woken up yet in a coma. Now that Mrs. Caidie has gone, if the poison is really done by Mrs. Caidie, what should Princess Lin do!" After saying that, Xia He wiped away her tears, as if the color butterfly had died and her young lady would not live.
"Princess Lin will never be fine."
"I have to go back to the yard to take care of Princess Lin, so I won't delay Housekeeper Li's work." The purpose has been achieved, and Xia He does not want to stay longer. The more he looks at the body of the colorful butterfly, the more he feels panicked.
Returning to the West Courtyard, Xia He first washed his face and hands with hot water, and then sprinkled some grapefruit leaf water on himself before entering Xiaoluo's room. Xiaoluo was now nestling in the bedding and saying some unresisting words to Dongyu. Hearing a noise outside the house, he quickly asked in a low voice, "Is Sister Xia He back?"
Xia He's visit took more than half an hour, and Xiao Luo was a little bored. The play had to be finished as soon as possible, otherwise she would not be able to go to the border town with Mo Yuche. When this idea floated in his heart, Xiao Luo was stunned. When did he expect to be with him so much?
"Miss, the maidservant is back." Xia He, who was about to push the door in, heard the lady's voice and hurriedly answered, so she opened the door and walked in. The cold wind outside took the opportunity to get into the room, causing the winter rain to sneeze defenselessly.
This loud sneeze directly woke Xiao Luo from his mind and asked quickly when he saw Xia He coming in, "How's the front hall?"
Xia He closed the door carefully, and then went to the bed and sat down. The young lady was really expected. Princess Liu really didn't want to mention more about Mrs. Caidie. During this period, Mrs. Zhitao in the South Courtyard said that she saw a white shadow last evening and said that there was a wronged ghost who wanted her life, but Princess Liu obviously didn't believe it. She said bluntly that Mrs. Caidie did something wrong, so she was crazy.
White shadow? Thinking that he had been to the South Courtyard yesterday evening, Xiao Luo was embarrassed and didn't expect to be seen? However, Liu Shuihan's reaction was a little unexpected. She didn't take the opportunity to respond to Zhitao's words, saying that she was wronged and asked for her life. It seemed that she had decided to pay attention to lead her poisoning to Caidie.
It happened that the color butterfly had such a thing again last night, and there was a ghost in her heart, so she went crazy and committed suicide, but she also said it. What's wrong with the body of the colorful butterfly?
Thinking of the body of the colorful butterfly, Xia He couldn't help shivering. If something goes wrong, there seems to be nothing wrong. Mrs. Caidie's body does look like hanging, but her hands and nails are some signs of black, and there are traces of decay on her face.
Black nails? Obviously, it is a sign of poisoning. Was the color butterfly poisoned before she died? Rotten? In terms of the current climate, how can it rot so quickly? Xiaoluo heard something wrong. Judging from the current temperature, it will never rot even if it is placed for another ten and a half months?
"The maidservant also felt strange. Those wounds looked like they had been bitten by some insects. They were pitted and disgusting. Thinking that Caidiefu paid so much attention to his appearance before his life, he died such a miserable end." Xia He couldn't help sighing. No matter how beautiful she was before her death, isn't it the same after death?
"Sister Xia He, why do you think those wounds look like they were bitten by insects?" Xiao Luo was shocked. What kind of bugs will bite the body? How can there be such a poison in these seven kings' mansions? Is there a mysterious person behind Liu Shuihan?
Xia He didn't expect that Miss would suddenly ask this question. She thought for a long time before saying, "Miss, I just said it casually. It's not really bitten by insects..."
Maybe Sister Xia He really just said it casually. Xiao Luo thought that if there was really any mysterious person in the royal palace, Mo Yuche would have found something last night.
