Reborn, seduced the prince and killed his wife to become his favorite concubine

Chapter 84 Past Events

"What's the maid's name?"

"I heard her name was Yue'er, and later she was given the title Yue Changzai."

Hearing this name, Shen Zhishu couldn't help but take a breath.

Sure enough, it was really her.

"Master, do you think the deaths of Eunuch Cui and Yue Changzai are related to Concubine Yue?"

Seeing that Shen Zhishu remained silent, Xiao Xizi began to make bold guesses.

In fact, it was because he had this idea and thought that this matter was valuable that he thought of reporting it.

"You said... Yue Changzai is dead? Who said that?"

As far as Shen Zhishu knew, the person was just crazy and was locked up in the cold palace.

"That little aunt Li used to have sex with Eunuch Cui, so she can be considered a member of the family."

As he spoke, he glanced at his master furtively.

I’m just afraid that my master will think this is dirty.

"Are Auntie Xiao Li and Yue Changzai familiar with each other?"

"Of course they are very familiar with each other. After all, they have lived together for more than ten years. I heard from Aunt Li that she also loved Yue Changzai like her own daughter and they had a very good relationship."

"That's good."

Xiao Xizi saw that his master actually nodded with some satisfaction.

I couldn't help but remind her, "This is about Concubine Yue, there is no evidence, even if Aunt Li is their family, I think she wouldn't dare to stand up."

After saying that, he paused for two seconds.

"Even if there is evidence, Concubine Yue is a favored concubine. Apart from the Queen, she is the most respected person in the harem. It would be difficult to prove that she killed one or two servants."

Although he felt that saying this would undermine his master's self-confidence, it was the truth.

"Although she is very likely related to the deaths of Eunuch Cui and Yue Changzai, it is extremely difficult to bring her down based on this. I will continue to investigate other things."

Concubine Yue has been in the harem for more than 20 years, and has done more than one evil thing.

Moreover, Xiao Xizi is confident that as long as he continues digging, he will find something even more surprising.

"I'm afraid I'll get you into trouble if I keep asking about this. Why don't we just stop here? Find a chance. I want to meet this Aunt Li."

Since it concerns the princes and concubines in the cold palace, it is no trivial matter.

What's more, she knew all of Concubine Yue's most unspeakable secrets, she just lacked an opportunity to speak them out.

Xiao Xizi was stunned.

I can't help but ask, is this really possible?

"Then does Auntie Li, Eunuch Xi know her origins?"

Since we are going to investigate, we should know more.

"I know..."

Xiao Xizi came back to his senses immediately.

Tell him everything you know in detail.

Because the Queen Mother said that if she asked him to serve Concubine Shen, he must serve his master wholeheartedly and not have any second thoughts.

The next day.

When the sun is at its highest, it is also the hottest.

There were few people outside at this time. With the help of Xiao Xizi, Shen Zhishu secretly hid in an empty palace and met Aunt Li.

She was younger than she had imagined, looking to be only in her early thirties, with her hair kept shiny black and pinned with a jade hairpin.

Wearing a gray nanny's outfit, she looked a few years older.

He is plain and simple, with a pair of calm eyes, and seems to have no desires or demands.

He is only in his thirties now, but Eunuch Cui was in his early fifties when he died.

Finding such a young girl as your partner?

Shen Zhishu suddenly felt that his original idea was wrong.

Perhaps, they are not willing to do so, and this so-called family also has their own ulterior motives?

"This old servant has met Concubine Shen."

Aunt Li had already walked up to her and bowed in a low-key manner.

There were only the two of them in the room at the moment, and Shen Zhishu was so cautious this time that he didn't even bring Xiaodie with him.

"No need to be so polite, aunt."

She helped the man up.

The two of them stared at each other quietly for a while in the dim room.

Aunt Li's eyes gradually turned red.

Seeing that she was about to cry, Shen Zhishu didn't react. She didn't know him, so why did he cry in front of her?

And judging from Aunt Li's appearance, she should be a patient person.

The action in the next second made her even more confused.

The man who had just stood up knelt down again and kowtowed three times without saying anything.

"After all these years, you are the first one to ask about Lao Cui and Yue'er, Concubine Shen, I beg you to make a decision for them."

This is different from what Xiao Xizi said.

It seems like this aunt has been waiting for revenge?

"Aunt Xiao Li, do you know the cause of their death?"

If this is the case, the other party will definitely cooperate with her.

But it was too smooth, which made her feel uneasy.

I met Gou Wa in the cold palace, and then I asked someone to investigate Concubine Yue, but what happened was that it was Yue Chang who was found out about this matter.

Now that you meet someone related to the incident, do you still hope that you can seek justice for the dead?

Is it too smooth and unreasonable?

Aunt Li just nodded, and then shook her head in confusion.

This expression is hard to understand.

"Old Cui was drunk that year. When he woke up, he was stripped naked and thrown into the yard. It was freezing and snowy at the time. He has been ill ever since. Everyone said it was an accident, but I know it best. He was clearly drunk and unconscious that night. I carried him to the bed on my back and locked the room before I left..."

When Aunt Li talked about what happened back then, tears welled up in her eyes, and it seemed like she had very deep feelings for Lao Cui.

So everyone said that Eunuch Cui died of illness, but she always felt that someone had harmed him, but she could not produce any evidence.

"Where is Yue Changzai? I heard that Concubine Yue likes her very much and even brought her to her side..."

"It's just because one character in Yue'er's name is homophonic with her title. She came to Xinzheku and saw our Yue'er giving birth to Shui Ling again. She got angry and took her away just to find a chance to get rid of her. Poor Old Cui, he still missed Yue'er until his death."

"Then do you think that Eunuch Cui also died because of Concubine Yue?"

Shen Zhishu frowned, thinking that the matter was not simple, but since Aunt Li was willing to talk more, she continued to ask.

Maybe what she said was true.

"It must be. Concubine Yue is arrogant and domineering in the palace. She is not a good person. Those who offend her will have a bad ending. Old Cui raised an adopted daughter named Yue'er. Maybe she thinks that Old Cui did it on purpose."

Aunt Li gritted her teeth and was still very angry when she spoke.

"But all of this is just your inference. There is no evidence. Now that Eunuch Cui and Yue Changzai are both dead, it is impossible to accuse her."

"Madame Su beside Concubine Yue is her confidant. Concubine Yue will let Madame Su handle anything. I believe she must know the answer."

Aunt Li's tone was firm.

Is she the Nanny Su who led me to the cold palace?

Shen Zhishu didn't have a deep impression of her.

But judging from Aunt Li’s reaction, she probably didn’t know that Yue Changzai was still alive and had given birth to a little prince.
