The crabapple tree is fragrant in the tent, and the bright moon is in my arms

Pianxi Pavilion is even farther away than the original Ningzhu Pavilion, and is as deserted as an abandoned palace.

Even the cold palace is more popular than here.

It snowed so heavily and no one was clearing the snow. Let alone charcoal, we might not even be able to drink a sip of hot tea.

She had no favor, no family background, and no one even remembered how Shen Da Ying was chosen.

She was poisoned at the banquet that day, and perhaps she was thinking that His Majesty would come to see her and say a few words to her afterwards.

Unfortunately, no one remembered her from beginning to end.

At this moment, Pianxi Pavilion was bustling with activity, and His Majesty's sedan chair was on the way, but she could not open her mouth or say a single word.

There was blood as soon as I entered the door.

The blood dyed everything into a decadent and decayed appearance.

Two maids were lying on the ground, their eyes wide open and their faces horrified. Another was kneeling on the ground, kowtowed repeatedly, and kept muttering, "I'm sorry! We won't do it again! We know we were wrong!"

The Queen came over and looked at the scene. Her pupils trembled. Xun Qiu asked hurriedly, "What's going on? It's been so long and the blood hasn't even been cleaned up. Aren't you afraid of scaring the Queen?"

The person is dead, but what they care about is whether the queen will be scared when she sees it, and whether her shoes will get dirty if she steps on the dirty blood.

ridiculous.

The queen shook her head at her, her brows furrowed, "What's going on? Where is Shen's promise?"

Doctor Liu and the others stood beside a snowman, their faces as white as paper, and said to the queen, "Your Majesty, please don't come over here!"

"What's going on? Why is there so much blood in Pianxi Pavilion? Where are all the servants? Where have they gone?"

The queen stepped forward and stepped over the blood, but found that there was no way to do anything. The blood had dried up, and so much blood had flowed that it covered the entire ground.

The bottom of her jade basin stepped on the snow, making a tiny sound, like a woman's lingering scream.

Xun Qiu supported her, and the Jinyiwei also arrived and blocked the entire place.

A huge snowman stood in the yard, looking funny and out of place.

When the queen stood still, she turned her gaze from behind the snowman to in front of him.

She covered her stomach and almost vomited. Xun Qiu: "My Lady!"

Doctor He, who was standing behind Doctor Liu, said, "Your Majesty! Please move aside. I have been in the Imperial Hospital for decades and have never seen anything so strange!"

What snowman?

The person lying there is a person.

Shen Da Ying had extremely fair skin and was wearing a thin inner garment. He curled up among the snowmen, with a long black sword blade nailed on his wrist.

Countless black meridians covered her face, like strange talismans growing from the inside.

A pair of eyes, staring straight ahead.

It was like seeing an extremely frightening scene.

Such a scene is creepy.

The queen turned sideways: "What on earth is going on!"

Concubine Fang also arrived. After entering the room, she stayed for a long while, then lifted her skirt and took a step forward. She has always been quite courageous.

"Greetings to the Queen."

The moment she saw Shen agree, she took a few steps back: "How could it be... like this...?"

The death of someone in the palace is not a big deal, but the death is so strange that it is really odd.

The maid who had been kowtowing suddenly stopped moving, raised her head and rushed towards Concubine Fang: "What smell, what smell, it killed Yingying! What smell!"

The royal guards held her down, but she was still screaming fearlessly, "Retribution! It's all retribution! Hahahaha! Tianzhao is going to die! Hahaha!"

Concubine Fang frowned, feeling that something was not right.

The Queen: "His Majesty is on the way, let's not move. This matter is unheard of by me. Kill all the servants outside, and do not allow to reveal a single word!"

"Your Majesty!" Imperial Concubine Fang said, "The servants outside haven't come in yet, so there's no need to kill them all. We need to ask who first discovered the strangeness of the snowman today."

She looked around: "I'm afraid that all the maids of Shen's promise have been murdered. This one has gone crazy. The imperial physician must also treat these maids and see if he can cure her. Find out the whole story so that we can catch the murderer."

The Queen looked at her and said, "The murderer has been caught. What Concubine Fang meant was... the death of Concubine Shen was man-made?"

"My lady, if it's not man-made, is there some other hidden story?"

The queen's eyes were dark. "Doctor Liu, treat this madman and bring up the maid who first discovered the snowman today."

Concubine Fang tilted her head and asked Cuiyun in a low voice, "Is Concubine Zhaochun on the way?"

"With something this big happening, the Queen is no longer in charge of the affairs of the six palaces. You and Imperial Concubine Zhaochun must come."

Concubine Fang's eyes flashed with worry.

When Zhu Dingyuan arrived, he looked at all this, stroking the ring on his joint, without a trace of emotion in his eyes, which were only thick, dark and empty.

He looked at Shen's expression, not afraid, nor sad, but just looked at the queen: "What's the reason?"

"I don't know either."

After examining the crazy maid, Doctor Liu said, "Your Majesty, she is already crazy. The maids lying on the ground are dead and have no injuries on their bodies."

Huang Quan: "What about the poison?"

Doctor Liu forced a smile and said, "No."

Huang Quan looked at the man and said, "Your Majesty, there were no wounds and no poison, so he died quietly?"

"He died quietly." Zhu Dingyuan whispered, "Who is the Jinyiwei patrolling Pianxi Pavilion?"

A handsome man came out and said, "Your Majesty, I am Chen San, patrolling this area."

His face was not good either. A grown man was also frightened by this scene. "It snowed heavily last night. There were ten of us, divided into two groups for patrol. There was nothing unusual."

Concubine Fang: "Your Majesty, that maid was the first to discover it."

She knelt on the ground and trembled: "I am Xiaoying, the servant, and I am here to sweep the snow. The door of Pianxi Pavilion was closed until noon, and the steward said that we had to sweep the inside as well, so we knocked on the door, but it was not locked at all. It was very quiet inside, and when I went in, I saw... I saw this scene!"

Who on earth could have evaded the guards' patrols, killed everyone in Pianxi Pavilion silently, and even buried Concubine Shen in a snowman?

Vicious, disgusting, cruel, inhuman.

Zhu Dingyuan looked at Shen Da Ying's face. The black veins spread downwards like spider silk, including on his neck.

"Huang Quan, take off her clothes."

Huang Quan hurried forward, and even though his hands were shaking, he didn't dare look directly into her bloodshot eyes, and unbuttoned her clothes.

The black thread, which was entwined like a rune, did not stop until it reached the lower abdomen.

The imperial physician said that apart from her wrist, she had no other wounds on her body and was not poisoned.

The patterns in front of him were strange, yet they seemed to be traceable.

It's like a, what a flower.

The crazy maid screamed, "Ahhh! It's her! She's here! Take it away! Take the crabapple flower away! Ahhhh!"

The queen approached the man and placed her hand on his arm: "Your Majesty, this is like... like..."

Concubine Fang's voice was calm: "Begonia."

There was a crabapple flower with black tangled around it on Shen Da Ying's chest.

The crazy maid had her mouth covered and struggled desperately.

Zhu Dingyuan's pupils were dark: "Let her continue."

Chen San let go of the maid's mouth. She laughed so hard that her tongue was bitten and her speech was unclear. She was still shouting loudly: "It's a sign of God's destruction! The evil concubine is a disaster for the country! My lady! Your death is so unjust, your death is so unjust!"

She stood up, looked at everyone, and finally pointed at the door: "A demon in human skin! A ghost that sucks human blood! She will kill everyone!"

With a piercing scream, she squatted on the ground in fear: "She's coming!"

The figure at the door was graceful and elegant, walking neither fast nor slow. Snowflakes fell on her black hair, making it pure white, while the crabapple flower on her forehead was bright red and fragrant.

The ropes are soft and graceful, and the light is like the moon.

"Empress Zhaochun has arrived!"
