The Imperial Concubine Just Wants To Be a Salted Fish Every Day

After Luo QingHan left Qingge hall, he immediately called Zhao Xian.

According to Xiao Xi's hint, they found a well about 100 feet southwest.

There is a female corpse hidden in the well. It should be the missing palace maid Epiphyllum.

The location of this well is very remote and has been abandoned for many years. No one will come to this place at ordinary times, and the wellhead is pressed by a heavy slate. If you don't move the slate, you can't see the situation in the well at all.

Had it not been for Xiao Xi's help, they would never have thought that Epiphyllum would be here.

The body was soaked in the well water. It was swollen and the whole face was beyond recognition.

Yulin guards checked the body from head to toe and found a silk handkerchief. The name of Epiphyllum is embroidered on the lower right corner of the handkerchief, which is enough to show that this person is Epiphyllum.

In addition to the silk handkerchief, they also found a round jade pendant on the neck of the body.

Zhao Xian wrapped the jade pendant in a silk handkerchief and held it in front of the prince.

"Your Highness, this jade pendant looks like something in the palace."

Luo QingHan glanced at the Jade Pendant: "go to Shaofu to find out which Palace this jade pendant is."

"Here."

Shaofu is the place in charge of Royal money and the supply of palace supplies. As long as it is something in the palace, Shaofu will keep records.

Zhao Xian took the jade pendant to the Shaofu, dug the Shaofu supervisor out of the bed and asked the origin of the jade pendant.

Shaofu supervisor cleaned his eyes and looked at the jade pendant carefully in front of the light. He didn't say anything until he saw it for a long time.

"It seems to be something from the Changle palace."

Zhao Xian squinted: "are you sure?"

The Shaofu supervisor hurriedly said, "this is indeed something from the Changle palace, but it was awarded to Princess Ning by the Empress Dowager last year."

Then he specially called out the relevant files and pointed to one of the records.

"You see, it's clearly written here that the Empress Dowager rewarded Princess Ning with a pair of ruby bracelets, a string of agate beads, a pair of pearl earrings and a round jade pendant..."

Zhao Xian took the file directly, returned to the East Palace and reported the matter to the crown prince.

Luo QingHan couldn't see any change in his face. He said faintly, "just check here. You've worked hard all night. Go back to sleep."

"It's my duty. I don't dare say it's hard. I'm leaving. Your highness, please rest early."

After Zhao Xian left, Luo QingHan stared at the round jade pendant for a while before he fell asleep.

The next day, just after dawn, Luo QingHan went to the Jiaofang hall.

The empress of Qin got up earlier than him.

By this time she had finished her breakfast and was walking in the garden.

Luo QingHan bowed his hand and said, "my son's courtiers say hello to my mother."

The empress of the Qin emperor asked, "I heard that you ran around the palace with Yu Linjun last night, but did you find anything?"

"The mother is wise. Her ministers have found the person who poisoned her. She is a palace maid named Epiphyllum. Last night, Yu Linwei found the body of Epiphyllum in the well. After inspection, it was found that she was knocked unconscious and thrown into the well to drown. Yu Linwei found a round jade pendant from her."

Luo QingHan opened the silk handkerchief and revealed the round jade pendant inside.

Empress Qin just looked at it and didn't mean to touch it.

She asked faintly, "whose is this?"

"It belongs to Princess Ning."

The empress of the Qin emperor raised her eyebrows and said, "it's Princess Ning."

Ning Fei is the biological mother of Luo Xinran, the fourth prince.

I heard that concubine Ning was very popular because of her moving dancing when she first entered the palace.

Soon she was lucky enough to be pregnant and couldn't sleep. The emperor turned his attention to other women. Later, many new people came into the palace, and Princess Ning's favor gradually faded.

But even without the favor of the emperor, she also has four princes, which is by no means comparable to those ordinary imperial concubines.
