for why...she doesn't need to know!Woof!What era are we in that people still play these mysterious games!Although she doesn't mind having a few extra years of life, it feels weird using someone else'...The Shōwa Palace and Nanxiāoqing's Yuxin Hall are adjacent to each other, which can be said to be the best palace besides the imperial and empress's residence.

Before, the Southern Xiao Qing had overthrown and rebuilt the original Showa Palace. It was only recently completed and no one has lived in it yet.

Now that she lives in the Imperial Palace, all the concubines are gnashing their teeth with hatred… That's what Gu Qian guessed.

Three days after Gu Qian moved into Showa Palace, Wu Gonggong brought news of the poisoning case.

"Fragrant Concubine, that little eunuch has been found."

Gu Qianwen immediately perked up at the words, "Where is he Bring him over here for me to see."

Nán Xiāo Qīng recently hasn't been around, I don't know what she's busy with. At least she hasn't come over to find him anymore and take the hate for him.

And she didn't even go to pay respects to the Empress. The Empress didn't say anything, either. The other concubines who came to pay their respects were all turned away by her.

These past few days have been pretty laid-back, but I'm getting quite bored.

Ancient maps were not very user-friendly to begin with, let alone being trapped in the depths of the palace, bored out of her mind.

Although she's not good at palace intrigue, she's still very interested in solving cases.

"To Xiangfei, that little eunuch... is dead," Wu Gonggong said in a low voice.

This can't be blamed on him, it's all because the painting of Xiangfei was too outlandish. Even the emperor didn't blame him when he saw it, just asked him to do his best.

...and he really did his best!

Gu Qian: "......Murder to silence This story ended before it even began. She still wants to pass the time."

Mr. Wu reported to Gu Qian all the information he had gathered over the past few days.

Not only did the young eunuch die, but also the cook who made the pastries and the palace maid who had taken the food box in the middle died.

Jumping into wells, hanging themselves, and poisoning themselves, the three deaths buried all clues. Wu Gonggong couldn't find anything.

It's not that there were no clues at all. He had some guesses in mind, but after going down this path, he still didn't have any concrete evidence.

So after informing Nan Xiaoqing, he prepared to close the case.

"Alright, this Palace understands. Thank you for your hard work, Wu Gonggong."

Gu Qian knew the other person was a ruthless character, otherwise they wouldn't have gone straight for the kill. But he hadn't expected them to be this merciless.

The original owner of this old, honorable person was previously unfavored. Although he wasn't very talkative and offended quite a few people, it shouldn't have escalated to such a deadly feud.

The other party must have been envious and jealous after seeing her being appointed as Xiangfei by Nan Xiao Qingjin, so they wanted to get rid of her.

Therefore, the mastermind must be one of the consorts, and she holds a high rank.

The Empress is a suspect, but Gu Qian's intuition tells her it wasn't her. She just doesn't seem very intelligent.

Of course, the women in the palace are accustomed to acting, so it's hard to say for sure.

The rest are those who were free from worldly strife, the favored concubine Fu Gui, the ever-adored concubine Xian, the noble lady De Fei from a distinguished family, and the concubine Zhuang Fei from a military family. Each of them is a suspect.

In addition, the eight concubines who held this position were also suspected.

The remaining possibility of lower-ranking concubines is unlikely, because their status is insufficient and they do not have that much power in the palace.

To poison and harm a favored concubine, and still be able to use three lives as a setup, one's position would have to be high enough to allow it. A lower rank wouldn't be able to do this.

Although the clue was broken this time, Gu Qian wasn't worried. A fox will eventually show its tail.

"My Lady, the Empress invites you to attend a flower viewing banquet." Zhi Shu came in from outside with sweat beading on his brow, and stepped forward to report.

Gu Qian flipped through the original owner's memories and discovered that the original owner had only attended a flower viewing banquet once, at the beginning of her entry into the palace. After that, she was not favored, so naturally, the Empress did not take her to play.
