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

For safety's sake, Li Qingyan didn't move.

He just sat on the ground motionless for a whole night.

When the sky gradually lighted up, Li Qingyan gradually recovered from her tense state.

His legs were completely numb from sitting for too long. He kneaded and pinched, and it took a lot of effort to get up and stand still.

He first opened the window a slit, and found that it was already bright outside, and the courtyard was quiet and no one was there.

He turned to open the door.

The probe went out to take a look, and there was no one outside.

It seems that the group of people really left last night.

Li Qingyan exhaled softly, then stepped out of the door and walked to the door of the next room.

The door was not fastened, and he opened it with a gentle push.

Before he even went in, he saw Li Ji, who was hanging on the beam, his eyes were wide open, and his face was pale!

Li Qingyan was so frightened that she took a deep breath.

He rushed up and hugged Li Ji's legs, and took the person down with difficulty, only to find that the person was completely dead and his body was already cold.

Li Qingyan fell to the ground, looking at the corpse in front of him, thinking that he was still talking to Li Ji last night, and in just one night, the person turned into a cold corpse.

This is so exciting!

Li Qingyan remembered the voices he heard last night, he suspected that Li Ji was killed by those people, and he had to report to the officials!

He struggled to get up from the ground and staggered out.

He ran to Jingzhao Mansion and reported the matter to Mei Guangtao, the governor of Jingzhao Mansion.

As human life was at stake, Mei Guangtao did not dare to delay, and immediately brought people to the scene of the crime.

After some inspection, Zuo Zuo came to a conclusion.

"This person should have committed suicide."

Li Qingyan didn't believe it, he tried his best to distinguish: "He couldn't have committed suicide! I talked to him last night, and he didn't seem to have any intention of committing suicide, and I also heard voices last night, and several people broke in. Entering our yard, I suspect that group of people killed Li Ji!"

Mei Guangtao said: "There is no evidence, do you have any evidence?"

Li Qingyan couldn't produce any evidence.

Mei Guangtao asked again, "Do you know who those people are? Do you know how tall, how long, what appearance and what clothes they are wearing?"

Li Qingyan didn't know anything.

Mei Guangtao was helpless: "You don't know anything, so how can I trust you? Our government has to pay attention to evidence when handling a case. Now the evidence shows that people committed suicide, so I can only decide the case based on suicide."

Li Qingyan had no choice but to watch the officials carry the body away.

When all the people in the government were gone, Li Qingyan was the only one left in the courtyard.

He stood at the door of Li Ji's room, looked at the empty room, hesitated again and again, but walked in.

There are very few things in the house, only a few clothes, and some books and pen and ink.

Li Qingyan thought to himself, since a person is already dead, he has to help him pack up his things and bring them back to his family.

When he packed everything up, he unexpectedly found that Li Jiyou's book was missing.

It was the book that Li Ji held in his hand last night. He glanced at it and remembered that it was a black cover with the words I Ching written on it.

The Book of Changes is not within the scope of the scientific examination, but Li Ji stayed up late last night to study this book, which is strange no matter how you look at it.

While Li Qingyan was thinking, out of the corner of the window, he caught a glimpse of a figure passing by outside the courtyard gate!

Having experienced what happened last night, Li Qingyan was extremely vigilant now. He rushed out the door quickly, but saw that there was no one outside the courtyard.

The figure was gone.

Li Qingyan felt uneasy in her heart.

Those few people actually knew of his existence last night, but those few people thought he fell asleep last night and didn't know anything, so they didn't do anything to him.

But today he went to report to the official with great fanfare, and he also shouted that Li Ji was killed, which means that he has exposed the fact that he did not fall asleep last night.

Will those people kill him?

Thinking of this, Li Qingyan only felt frightened.

He didn't dare to stay in this little broken yard anymore, he wanted to go to the government.

But he couldn't produce evidence, and the people in Jingzhao Mansion didn't believe what he said at all, and even if he went, no one would take care of him.

But if he doesn't go to the government, where can he go?

In this Shengjing city, he was unfamiliar with his life and could not find a place to hide.

After thinking about it, he remembered what the little lady said yesterday—

"If you have nowhere to go tomorrow, you can go to General Chungmu's Mansion for help."

Li Qingyan didn't know who that little lady was, but since she could figure out his predicament today, she might really be able to show him a clear path.

With the mentality of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, he packed his bags and headed straight for General Zhongwu's residence!

...

In the Qingge Hall, Xiao Xixi was happily eating snacks.

These snacks were brought back from outside the palace yesterday. They are of various varieties and tastes, and they are quite exciting to eat.

Baoqin whispered, "Niangniang, Sumei is here."

Xiao Xixi was at a loss: "Who is Sumei?"

"She is the maid next to Concubine Li."

Xiao Xixi suddenly said, "It's her, let her in."

Su Mei walked in with a low brow and pleasing to the eye, she bowed first, and then said cautiously.

"Concubine Li accidentally broke a few ornaments today. I want to replace some new ones. I beg your mother to make it easier."

Now Xiao Xixi is in charge of the internal affairs of the East Palace. In addition to the rules issued every month, there are also the daily wear and tear of each palace. If something in a palace is broken and cannot be used, you have to come to her to report and apply for a replacement. into new.

Xiao Xixi never cared about such trivial matters, and said casually, "How many did you break? Let Baoqin register it for you, and then have someone deliver it to you."

Sumei said embarrassedly: "There are six vases, a glazed lamp, two lampshades, a set of tea cups, a guqin, five paintings and calligraphy, two incense burners, a Bogu shelf, four small screens, one big screen..."

Xiao Xixi's eating movement gradually stopped.

Baoqin opened her eyes involuntarily.

It was difficult for Su Mei to finish reading the long list of names.

Baoqin couldn't help but ask, "Did Concubine Li smash the entire Golden Wind Palace?"

Su Mei said shyly: "No, it's just fine for things like tables, cabinets, beds, etc."

Baoqin got to the bottom of the truth.

"It's because the table, cabinet, bed is too heavy, can't she hit it?"

Su Mei was speechless, and her expression became more and more embarrassed.

Xiao Xixi tried to ask, "Is Concubine Li alright?"

Su Mei tangled for a while, but answered truthfully: "Not very good."

Caiyun's incident caused Concubine Li a big blow. After she went back, she not only smashed everything in the house, but also locked herself in the house, refusing to see anyone.

Xiao Xixi felt that as a creditor, it was necessary to pay attention to the mental state of the debtor.

If the debtor collapsed, wouldn't she be able to get her money back?

That's not a small amount!

Xiao Xixi clapped her hands: "Let's go."

Baoqin hurriedly asked, "Where is the maiden going?"

"Go and send warmth to Concubine Li."
