NOVEL NEXT Chapter 27 The Zhang family of Concubine Zhang
The investigation in the palace was left to the two brothers. As for Concubine Zhang, Xu Muhua didn't know how much he could expect. Anyway, it was just a multi-pronged approach!
Naturally, when he left the palace and returned home, he was caught by the people in the house and questioned for a while. Xu Muhua was able to fool him with a few skillful moves.
When everyone was almost gone, Xu Muhua sat next to Xu's mother and whispered: "Mom, I have something to ask you."
Xu's mother gave her a strange look and said, "Ask me!" She was mysterious.
"Mom, what kind of concubines have lived in the palace...that is, Yikun Palace? What happened to these concubines in the end?"
The female ghost entangled Concubine Zhang in Yikun Palace, looking like Concubine Zhang occupying a magpie's nest.
Then it is very likely that she lived in Yikun Palace during her lifetime, or she lived in Yikun Palace for a long time, so she identified it after her death and felt that it was her territory.
Xu's mother was stunned for a moment, then looked at her suspiciously: "Why do you ask this?"
Xu Muhua thought for a while and felt that she had to talk about this matter, otherwise she might not be able to hide it in the past few days and it would be even more troublesome. Now that I have said it, maybe I can gain some convenience!
Xu Muhua told what happened in Yikun Palace, and Xu Muhua's face changed with fright!
Xu Muhua finally calmed her down and said, "So, mother, if you know anything, you have to tell me, otherwise Concubine Zhang will not give up if she fails to get a satisfactory answer in a few days!"
"You kid, you think things are too simple! It's really that easy to solve. She, Zhang Guifei, has solved it long ago. Do I need to force you? What can you do!"
Xu Muhua thought to herself that she really seemed to be able to do more than Concubine Zhang!
"Mom, maybe you are overcomplicating things?"
Xu’s mother: “…”
At this point, Xu's mother could only find a way to help her.
"There are many concubines in the palace, and it is not unusual for a few to die from time to time. But according to what you said, there seems to be no beloved concubine who lived in Yikun Palace who met a miserable end." Xu's mother frowned. Thinking back.
"I have to think about this carefully!" Mother Xu stood up suddenly, with a serious look on her face, and walked out while thinking about it!
Xu Muhua opened his mouth and closed it again.
Forget it, she went back to her yard.
As soon as he returned to the courtyard, Xu Muhua immediately called the uncle over and asked him to help him find out which wealthy family in the capital had sent their daughter to the palace but died in the palace.
According to the memory of the original owner, the current emperor is not a person addicted to women, and there are not many women entering the palace every time.And currently, no palace concubine has made a mistake and been sentenced to death or has been implicated by her family.
If the information in her mind was correct, she could only push the time forward.
Maybe she was a concubine from the former emperor's time?
After hearing what she said, the uncle lost his temper at all.
It can be regarded as knowing that this person wants to use it as a long-term worker!
"Why do you do so many things every day?"
Xu Muhua himself felt aggrieved, "Wasn't I forced?"
Who doesn’t want to be a salted fish?
"Just wait, I'll check it out for you."
Xu Muhua smiled and said, "Okay, the matter is done, enough beef jerky!"
Mentioning this uncle makes me drool a little.
Unexpectedly, this stupid girl Pomegranate is also very good at making beef jerky...suck!
Xu Muhua also didn't expect that the pomegranates around her could have such skills. Not only did the uncle like to eat them, she also loved them!
It’s decided that I’ll make more pomegranates this time and she’ll eat them as snacks in the future!
I worked really hard for the beef jerky made with pomegranate!
That night I brought back the news Xu Muhua wanted!
"According to what you said, there is only one large family in the capital that fits the bill."
"Who?"
"The Zhang family is the Zhang family of Concubine Zhang."
Xu Muhua was surprised, "No way, Concubine Zhang's Zhang family?"
Then she thought about it and her eyes widened, "Could it be that two sisters were fighting for favor, and Concubine Zhang killed someone, and she became the favored concubine, right?"
The uncle glanced at her and said, "You only guessed half of it right."
Xu Muhua looked at it in confusion, waiting for it to explain the matter clearly.
The uncle did not beat around the bush and said: "Concubine Zhang entered the palace six years ago, and she became a beloved concubine after entering the palace. Before she entered the palace, she had a very close cousin in the Zhang family, and that cousin looked the same. She is beautiful, but her cousin came to visit her when she was young and has a low status."
"Before Zhang Guifei entered the palace, this cousin suddenly died of illness. Of course, this was the Zhang family's explanation to the outside world, but in fact it was that this cousin eloped with a scholar. Zhang Guifei and her were very close, and I heard that she actually had a relationship with a scholar. The poor scholar eloped, and even she kept it a secret, and left without saying a word, which was heartbreaking, and she never mentioned this person again."
"Not long after the cousin eloped, Concubine Zhang entered the palace. But a stray cat near the Zhang Mansion said that the cousin did not elope, but died. It saw with its own eyes that the servant of the Zhang Mansion left the house in the middle of the night when no one was around. A body was brought out from the mansion, it was a young and beautiful girl, wearing a gold bracelet in her hand, and her nails were painted with kodan."
Xu Muhua was stunned for a moment, "So you mean the corpse that was carried out is that of the cousin? How can you be sure?"
Hearing this, the uncle looked at Xu Muhua with contempt, "We animals can also distinguish between people!"
I really think they have no IQ, huh!
"Then what does this cousin have to do with the female ghost in the palace?" They can't be the same person, right?
"This involves another secret!"
secret?
Xu Muhua's eyes lit up, and his eyes were full of gossip, "What's the secret? Tell me quickly!"
"There is a story about how Concubine Zhang first entered the palace. It is said that it was during the autumn hunt a few years ago. Everyone in the Zhang family followed the emperor to the palace paddock. But the emperor suddenly had a whim and left the guards to go hunting alone. Sure enough, something happened. Well, he was saved by a woman wearing a veil."
"After further investigation, I found out that this woman is the young lady of the Zhang family! This is also the reason why Concubine Zhang is so favored when she enters the palace."
Xu Muhua thought of something, and his expression became a little strange: "You mean the person who saved the emperor was actually Zhang Guifei's cousin, and the Zhang family wanted to take away this credit, so they killed the cousin and replaced Zhang Guifei? "
"That's pretty much what it means!"
Xu Muhua recalled that Concubine Zhang was domineering and arrogant, but it was not necessarily true that she had never harmed others.But when she talked about the female ghost, there was no trace of guilt or guilt on her face. She only had the normal emotions that normal people would have when encountering such things, such as worry, fear, and fear.
And if the female ghost in the palace is my cousin, she died before entering the palace, so how could the ghost be in the palace?
