Chapter 191: She Has Never Been Lucky
A very old-fashioned drama.
The man changed his mind and fell in love with Xianglan's sister-in-law, but the person her sister-in-law remarried was none other than him.
Xianglan was in the palace and had no idea about what was going on. She could only wait for him to come over on the days when he was allowed to visit, and would say a few words to him in a hurry at the palace gate. Most of the time, she would just collect some money.
Of course Yu Shengsheng felt that Xianglan was hateful for dragging her into this mess for no reason, but at this moment she also felt sorry for her.
Xianglan struggled hard and the chain made a noise.
"You bastard! You used my money to marry my eldest sister-in-law, and you even lied to me that she had my eldest brother's child. You are all liars, and you shall not live happily ever after!"
"I asked the Imperial Concubine to help you find your job. You really deserve my kindness."
The man trembled and whispered: "Xianglan, please understand me. You don't even know when you will leave the palace. My companions are all fathers now. I..."
Xianglan kept cursing, but Fu Qingyin was too lazy to listen to their useless arguments.
Raising his hand, Hao Mengye handed over the information he had found.
Fu Qingyin flipped through two pages: "How did Li Zhong die?"
Yu Shengsheng glanced at Xianglan and guessed that this Li Zhong was her elder brother.
Could it be... Yu Shengsheng felt a chill in her heart and looked at the man.
The man didn't dare to look up: "Go out..."
Before he could utter the word "unexpected", Hao Mengye took a step forward.
"Yes... I bribed two people to rob and kill him on his way out to collect payment, and took the silver."
Yu Shengsheng sighed silently.
It is true.
Xianglan clenched her fists, and anger and grief burst out from her chest: "Ah!"
Fu Qingyin waved his hand: "Kill someone and pay with your life, owe a debt and pay it back. Send him to Jingzhao Prefecture and hand him over to Wang Fuyin. This kind of scum is not worth our efforts."
He glanced at Yu Shengsheng, who was biting her lip, and added, "Break his hand as a punishment."
"yes."
The person was dragged away. Yu Shengsheng looked at Xianglan and said, "Someone threatened you with your sister-in-law's child and asked you to do something. Tell the truth."
Xianglan's eyes were red and full of resentment, like a demon crawling out of hell.
"It's Suzhuo," Xianglan said with blood in every word, "that bitch is a senior maid in the Queen's palace. She usually doesn't take us, the second-class maids, seriously at all."
"She found me and said she knew what was going on in my family. Every time I went to the palace gate to see my family, she sent people to watch me, but I didn't notice anything."
"What she said was all right. I panicked and agreed to sell pearls for her," Xianglan looked at Yu Shengsheng, "You are right. I came to you not because you refused to paint the portrait of the imperial concubine. You and I have no grudges against each other. It was because of Su Zhuo. She asked me to do it."
Yu Shengsheng's face was calm: "Su Zhuo is dead, no matter what you say, there is no evidence."
"Whether there is evidence or not, I am telling the truth," Xianglan laughed bitterly, "Do I still need to lie now?"
Xianglan's laughter grew louder and tears rolled out, washing over the blood on her face like tears of blood.
"As for whether there is the queen behind her, I don't know," Xianglan said with a half-smile, "Anyway, I know that the queen doesn't like you very much. I heard from Lady Song that you are in the other garden..."
Yu Shengsheng's expression changed slightly, and the fingers holding the painting tightened silently.
The hidden weapon in Fu Qingyin's hand flew out and hit Xianglan's shoulder.
She cried out in pain and swallowed the rest of her words.
Yu Shengsheng subconsciously looked at Fu Qingyin and let out a tense breath.
A Red Dragon Guard came in quickly and whispered something to Fu Qingyin.
Fu Qingyin's expression did not change. He turned his ring, stood up and said to Yu Shengsheng, "Follow me."
Yu Shengsheng followed all the way to the morgue.
There are two corpses here now, one is the man in black who captured Lu Xingyue, and the other is the palace maid Xing'er who jumped into the well.
Without waiting for Yu Shengsheng to ask, Fu Qingyin said, "I just got the news that Xianglan's sister-in-law has died."
Yu Shengsheng was slightly surprised: "Dead?"
"Yes, Hao Mengye caught the man on the road and sent someone to bring the woman over. When the Red Dragon Guards arrived, she was already dead."
Yu Shengsheng was silent for a moment: "She should not know about what happened in the palace."
"It doesn't matter whether she knows or not. As long as she is involved in this matter, someone won't let her live."
Fu Qingyin's tone was full of coldness: "You have the guts to kill people in front of me several times."
"This palace maid," Fu Qingyin handed her the autopsy results, "was indeed suicide."
Yu Shengsheng took the autopsy report and asked in astonishment, "She was also pregnant?"
But she was different from Concubine Wang. She was a palace maid. If a palace maid had an affair with someone or even got pregnant, it would be a serious crime.
"Not only that," Fu Qingyin said, "she also has a serious illness."
Yu Shengsheng was puzzled: "Serious illness? How serious is it?"
Fu Qingyin glanced at her and said, "Less than two months to live."
Yu Shengsheng recalled the scene when she met this little palace maid. The smell of medicine on her was not strong, but there was some fragrance. Could it be that she was trying to use the fragrance to cover up the smell of medicine?
"But if you are already terminally ill, why do you want to commit suicide?"
"That's exactly the problem," Fu Qingyin looked at the corpse on the ground, "Although he jumped into the well by himself, whether it was voluntary or not is another matter."
Yu Shengsheng pondered and said, "Commander, if it is confirmed that she has a serious illness, then she cannot be without medicine. You can check the Imperial Hospital."
Fu Qingyin's eyes flashed with admiration: "I have sent someone to investigate, and the results will be delivered soon."
Yu Shengsheng pursed her lips and said no more, looking at the corpse on the ground.
The little palace maid was not much older than her, but fate was unfair and made her seriously ill and pregnant. However, she had no idea who the man was or where he was.
Xing'er, it's really ironic that she is called this name.
Has she ever been lucky?
Yu Shengsheng felt a little depressed. Fu Qingyin saw that she looked not depressed and suddenly said, "Let's go to the Imperial Hospital."
"Now?" Yu Shengsheng wondered. Didn't they say they had sent people to investigate?
"Yes, now, Hao Mengye, prepare the car!"
At the command, the people outside immediately started moving.
"You go with me."
Before Yu Shengsheng could react, she was taken into the carriage.
She went to the palace several times, but never came to the Imperial Medical Office once.
The carriage arrived directly at the gate of the Imperial Hospital, where people could be heard cursing.
"Can you do it? If not, get out!"
Yu Shengsheng looked out of the car window and saw a young man with his back to this side, being pushed out by two people.
Then, another basket filled with herbs hit the ground, and then a medicine box was thrown out. The box was smashed open and the contents were scattered all over the floor.
"If it weren't for your master, what qualifications would you have to enter the Imperial Hospital?"
"Don't you know who you are? Instead, you are telling me about pulse diagnosis? Who do you think you are?"
Fu Qingyin got out of the car, and Yu Shengsheng followed suit and walked up the stairs.
The people inside cursed more and more harshly. Yu Shengsheng turned her head to look at the man who was bending over to pick herbs, and her heart choked a little.
It's him.
