The next day, the news of Princess Jing's sudden death spread all over the harem.

A stone stirs thousands of waves.

No one can believe it.

Princess Jing usually looks in good health and seldom gets sick. How can she suddenly disappear? This must be a rumor.

Until the emperor ordered that Princess Jing accidentally fell into the water last night, and then caused an emergency and died suddenly.

Then they believed that Princess Jing, who always looked gentle and generous on weekdays, was indeed gone.

It is reasonable to say that concubines will be sealed after their death, but the emperor did not mean to seal concubine Jing. Even the funeral of concubine Jing is simple. There is no honor for a second-class concubine.

Such an ending can only be described as desolate.

In the splendid palace.

Princess Li was drinking tea and eating melon seeds. The little maid in waiting knelt beside her and beat her legs.

Yao Jieyu hurried in, first saluted, and then excited.

"I heard it. Princess Jing suddenly fell into the water last night. It was said that she committed suicide."

Li Fei waved her hand.

The little maid stopped, got up and retreated silently.

Princess Li motioned Yao Jieyu to sit down and said slowly.

Yao Jieyu sat on the empty seat next to Princess Li, and her cheeks flushed with excitement.

She said in an excited tone peculiar to melon eaters.

"It's said that Yingfu palace was lively last night. First, Princess Jing fell into the water, then the emperor and imperial concubine rushed there, and then all the palace maids and eunuchs of the whole Yingfu palace were sent to Shenxing division."

Li Fei's action of eating melon seeds was a meal: "all were sent to the punishment department?"

Yao Jieyu nodded vigorously: "yes, there are more than 40 people. None of them have been sent in. So far, no one has come out, and I don't know how many these people can live in the end."

Yao Jieyu was also a little frightened when she thought of the fierce name of Shen Xingsi.

Princess Li thought thoughtfully: "if the emperor wants to punish the people in Yingfu palace because Princess Jing fell into the water, he doesn't have to send everyone to the Shenxing division."

Although the emperor is a little indifferent, he is not a murderous tyrant.

What's more, the emperor doesn't have much love for Princess Jing. He won't be angry at the whole Yingfu palace for the sake of a princess Jing.

There must be something else in here.

Yao Jieyu was distressed and said, "I also think there is something strange about this matter, but all the people in Yingfu Palace are in the Shenxing department, and outsiders can't find out the inside story“

The most painful thing for people who eat melons is that they can only eat half of them.

She really wants to know what the truth is!

Imperial concubine Li: "now only the emperor and imperial concubine know the inside story except those in the Shenxing division."

Yao Jieyu's eyes brightened: "no, if we go to visit the imperial concubine?"

Li Fei hesitated: "good."

She didn't like the imperial concubine at first, but after a period of observation, she found that the imperial concubine was not only similar in appearance to concubine Xiao, but also similar in words and deeds.

Every time I get along with the imperial concubine, concubine Li has a strange sense of familiarity.

So that Li Fei's rejection of her also decreased, followed by a sense of curiosity.

If only looks similar, it can be said to be a coincidence.

But if even the character is similar, it is definitely not just a coincidence.

Before going out, Princess Li specially asked Su Mei to take down the small wooden box on the Bogu shelf.

Yao Jieyu asked in surprise when she saw the wooden box.

"What did you do with it?"

Princess Li opened the wooden box and found a set of cards inside.

This was given to her by concubine Xiao. She occasionally took it out to play. Because it was well protected, it looked like a new one.

Princess Li glanced at the cards and closed the box again.

She said, "we must have a reason to see the imperial concubine. We haven't played cards for a long time. The two of us and the imperial concubine can just get together to fight the landlord."

Yao Jieyu didn't think much and praised it sincerely.

"My mother is considerate."

When Li Fei and Yao Jieyu came to Yunxiu palace, they found that someone had come one step ahead of them.

Minjieyu stood up and blessed Li Fei.

"My body sends greetings to Princess Li."

Princess Li looked at her up and down: "Why are you here?"

Min Jieyu: "I came to greet the imperial concubine."

Princess Li heard that Jie Yu came to greet her every day, rain or shine. Unexpectedly, it was true.

Imperial concubine Li smiled: "you are diligent. You don't forget to greet your imperial concubine during the new year."

Min Jieyu: "my mother praised me falsely. It's all what I should do."

Baoqin offered tea to Princess Li and Yao Jieyu.

"The imperial concubine is still dressing up and will come out soon. Please wait a minute."

Princess Li looked at the sky outside and asked in surprise, "it's this time. The imperial concubine hasn't got up yet?"

Baoqin said calmly, "it's cold recently. The imperial concubine is a little late."

Princess Li tutted.

It's getting better. Is it just a little late?

After waiting for a cup of tea, the imperial concubine finally came in holding the maid's hand.

The three got up and saluted.

"Greetings to the imperial concubine."

Xiao Xi sat on the top and motioned them to sit.

"What day is it today? Why are you three together?"

Imperial concubine Li: "I came with Yao Jieyu, but I just met min Jieyu here."

Min Jieyu: "I came to greet the imperial concubine."

Xiao Xixi was still very sleepy. She forced herself to ask, "is there anything else besides greeting? If not, let's go."

Last night, for the sake of Princess Jing, she had to get up in the middle of the night and didn't sleep again until dawn. At this moment, she didn't wake up at all.

She's really sleepy!

Princess Li smiled and said, "I've been staying in Yingfu palace every day recently. I'm really bored. I want to talk to the imperial concubine and play cards."

Hearing the word "playing cards", Xiao Xi's sleepiness dissipated.

She looked at imperial concubine Li and asked curiously.

"What cards do you play?"

Princess Li took the wooden box from Su Mei and opened it. There was a pile of cards in it.

Xiao Xi recognized at a glance that this was the playing card she had given to concubine Li and Yao Jieyu.

I didn't expect Princess Li to keep it.

Imperial concubine Li has been observing the changes in the imperial concubine's expression. She is keenly aware that she seems to be surprised and miss a little.

Xiao Xi picked up a card and said with a smile.

"I've seen this kind of card in Nanyue before. I didn't expect that you Da Sheng also have this way of playing."

Princess Li's eyes flashed: "the South moon also has this card?"

Xiao Xixi began to talk nonsense seriously.

"Yes, but Nanyue can't make such fine paper. In Nanyue, it usually makes cards with dried bark or leaves, so Nanyue people call it leaf card."

Imperial concubine Li listened to her talk very seriously. She couldn't help believing her nonsense and said with a smile.

"It turned out that this card had existed as early as the southern month. I thought you hadn't played it. I came to offer you treasure. It seems that I'm watching the sky."
