Chapter 206 - Suspicion

"But Miss, how many times have you been framed like this? "Why are you the one feeling wronged?" Daffodil Daydream was feeling sorry for Qin Luofei, and she also felt sorry for her.

"aggrieved? What does this grievance count for? " Qin Luofei sneered.

She thought back to her previous life, and that was what it meant to be wronged.

"But are you really not going to deal with this matter?" Sunflower asked.

Qin Luofei sighed lightly and said, "This matter is impossible to investigate. The only thing I can do now is to wait. I have to wait until this killer reveals the clues himself, until she can't hold it in anymore."

"Does Miss know who the murderer is?" Dusk chrysanthemum said.

Qin Luofei only smiled, but didn't say anything. Daffodil Daydream had a puzzled expression and was burning with anxiety. She wanted to help the young lady, but there was nothing she could do.

"Daffodil Dayflower, go out and busy yourself with the things you should be busy with. This matter will be revealed sooner or later, don't worry."

Xi Ling nodded. She was still worried, and when she walked out of the room, she almost bumped into Leng Mu.

"Master Leng, why are you here again?" It was not hard to tell from Daihua's tone that she was very confused about the Master Leng's frequent visits to and from the Huishang Hall.

Leng Mu's expression did not look right, and anxiously said: "This one has urgent business with Concubine Qin."

Qin Luofei put down the tea in her hand. Leng Mu seemed to be in a bad mood, and his eyebrows were knitted tightly.

"Why is Master Leng here?"

"Concubine Qin, what do you think about the pearl?"

Qin Luofei sized Leng Mu up carefully. This man was too strange. How was he supposed to pay attention to this? Not only this, he was extremely concerned about all the other matters within the palace.

"Master Leng, why aren't you studying in Taiyuan Hospital for a long time, and instead insist on coming here to ask about something that has nothing to do with you? Aren't you worried about getting into trouble? "

"I'm doing this for your own good. Don't you think that someone is deliberately framing you?"

Qin Luofei was even more baffled. Could it be that what Xi Hua said was true? Could it be that he had fallen for her? Thinking of this, Qin Luofeng's face flushed red. She couldn't help but feel her heart speed up when faced with this man.

"Of course I do." Qin Luofei retracted her gaze.

"You know? You mean you know who did it? "

"There's someone suspicious, but we can't be sure it's that person." Qin Luofei continued to drink her tea.

"Don't you care what people say about you? "Why are you still in the mood to drink tea here?" Leng Mu's heart was burning with anxiety, he was inexplicably worried for this woman.

"Master Leng, I am no longer curious about the culprit. What I am more curious about is why are you treating me so well? And what is your purpose in watching my every move? Can you tell me? There is also a very strange feeling, I feel that your eyes are very familiar. " Qin Luofei said everything she wanted to ask in her heart.

Leng Mu was stunned, he did not know how to answer these questions. It would be laughable to tell her that he didn't like her, as it was impossible for him to do so. He fell silent.

"Speak, why?" But Qin Luofei was overbearing.

"I, I hope you're doing well." Leng Mu's few words caused Qin Luofei's eyes to redden.

She whirled around, not wanting him to see her weakness, not to cry in front of him. Of course, she knew what people outside thought of her. They all said that she was a vicious woman, but she could bear all of that. She could only laugh at this, finding it laughable. However, this man's words that he wished for her to have a good life touched upon the weakness in her heart.

She could not shed tears in front of anyone. As for Leng Mu's kindness towards her, she had always felt a kind of pressure. After all, she was a woman from the Emperor Ming deep inside the imperial palace. If people knew about her, it would be terrible for both her and Leng Mu.

"I do not need anyone to treat me well. Master Leng thanks you for your concern. In the future, if there is nothing else, please do not come to Huishang Hall. " Qin Luofei hardened her heart and said these words to Leng Mu. In her previous life, she had fallen into such a miserable state because she deeply loved a man. In this life, she swore that she wouldn't fall in love with another man.

"I know." Leng Mu walked out after he finished speaking.

Qin Luofei had never dared to look back because she did not want to see Leng Mu's dejected back. Although she didn't know if what he said just now came from the bottom of her heart, she was already moved. She was just unwilling to admit it.

After Qin Luofei calmed down, she carefully recalled the sequence of events of this matter. What Leng Mu had said earlier was not without reason, Pearl's death was obviously meant to be blamed on her. And other than Su Fei who was the most suspicious, begging others was impossible.

Less than half a day had passed since the accident with the pearl, so Qin Luofei had to head to the Bright Moon Hall alone.

"Miss, where are you going?" Daffodil Daydream was busy outside, and she called out loudly when she saw Qin Luofei walking out in a hurry. There were too many rumors about Young Miss outside right now, so Daihua was worried about Young Miss going out alone. He immediately stopped what he was doing and chased after them.

Qin Luofei arrived at the Bright Moon Hall's gate, followed by Dustsift.

"Daisy, what are you doing here? Hurry up and go back, someone just died here, and you won't be able to sleep well again tonight. " Qin Luofei was very concerned about the chrysanthemum. She knew that the chrysanthemum was timid and had insomnia at night.

"Miss, then why did you come here?"

Qin Luofei said, "If we don't get into the tiger's den, how can we get into the tiger's den?"

Since he couldn't get out of this, he would let her investigate this matter properly. Find out the conspiracy behind this.

Qin Luofei walked in. This Bright Moon Hall seemed as if nothing had happened at all; one could not tell that a murder case had occurred here half a day ago. The palace maids that came and went were all doing their own things. This was the saddest part of the palace.

It was not surprising that a palace maid and eunuch had died in the palace. It was no wonder that the Bright Moon Hall was in such a state. However, when they noticed Qin Luofei's arrival, they shot her a peculiar look.

The palace maids of the Bright Moon Hall pointed at Qin Luofei as they discussed in succession, but this did not affect her mood in the slightest. Now that she was notorious, of course she knew herself and had already gotten used to it. It was just that she wouldn't let herself bear all of this for too long! Therefore, he had to get to the bottom of this matter.

"Concubine Qin, why are you here?" Su Fei walked over from another corridor.

"Esteemed Su Han, I'm sure you know very well why I've come here today." Qin Luofei's gaze landed on Su Fei's body.

Su Fei's eyes were filled with coldness.

"Follow me."

After Su Fei ordered the palace maids by her side to leave, she brought Qin Luofei to the scene of Pearl's accident.

"As for the rumors in the palace, I only hope that Concubine Qin does not worry. She was here when I found the pearl." Su Fei brought Qin Luofei to the scene of the incident without any hesitation.

Qin Luofei did not pay any more attention to him, and only roughly swept a glance. If the culprit was Su Fei Fei, then there definitely wouldn't be any clues here. That was why she dared to bring him here so confidently.

"I really didn't expect Pearl to die so suddenly and innocently. Where were you Su Fei at that time?" Qin Luofei could not help but ask.

"Reading in the study room. Ever since I was a child, I liked reading in the study room and didn't like being disturbed. That's why Pearl wasn't with this concubine at the time." Concubine Qin, did you come here to find the real culprit to clear my name? But it looks like it might disappoint you. "

"Why does Su Fei say that?" Qin Luofei actually wanted to see how this woman saw the pearl's accidental death.

"Although I have not been in the palace for long, from our previous interactions, I can see that your relationship with the Imperial Consort Leng is not that good, am I right?" Su Fei said as she glanced at Qin Luofei, sizing up her thoughts.

"So what?" Qin Luofei did not deny that this Su Fei was not as simple as she thought.

"Don't you think there's something fishy about this? Is someone trying to frame you? "

Hearing this from Su Fei's mouth made Qin Luofei feel surprised, wasn't she a member of the Imperial Consort Leng? Why did he suddenly bite back at his master? From the looks of it, this Su Fei was not as pure as her outer appearance.

Qin Luofei smiled slightly, "I've never thought of that before. Su Fei, what you mean is, who do you think is trying to frame me?"

"I'll stop at that. There are some things that I don't want to say either."

Qin Luofei of course knew the meaning behind her words, it was no more than deliberately killing the pearl to frame her in the Imperial Consort Leng. However, this matter still did not make sense. If it was the Imperial Consort Leng, she could have left behind evidence and not dying without proof like she did now.

"Understood." Now she was even more interested in Su Fei.

"It's good that you understand, I'm just afraid that you don't understand, Concubine Qin."

"Su Fei Fei is good at reading. I believe there are a lot of books in the study room." Regardless of whether the girl in front of her was a friend or foe, she still wanted to understand her better.

"Not much, just a bunch of useless books." Su Fei said.

"I wonder if I can visit Su Fei's study? I also like reading books. "

Su Fei Fei could not refuse so she could only bring Qin Luofei into the study.

Su Fei's study was indeed filled with books. A girl who had read so many poems definitely had a high IQ. Qin Luofei's gaze landed on the desk, which had a medical book on it. However, what made her curious was that the books were actually placed upside down.

How could a book be read upside down? Qin Luofei looked at the book with a puzzled expression.

"Su Fei, you like to see medicine too?"

"A little."

"What's that book on your desk?" Qin Luofei asked as she pointed to the book on the table.

"The book I read this morning." From the looks of it, she didn't know that Qin Luofei found something wrong with the book.

"The book you were reading before Pearl fell?"

Su Fei nodded. Qin Luofei immediately noticed it was a horse, but she did not pursue the matter.

"I wonder if Su Fei Fei can lend me a few books to take a look?"

Su Fei agreed quickly.

Qin Luofei returned to the Huishang Hall, and carefully recalled the details just now. Could it be that Su Fei was reading the book upside down? It seemed that the book was placed there in an emergency. Pearl was never too far away from Su Fei, so how could she be left alone in the study reading?

"Miss, what are you thinking? It's time for dinner. " Daffodil Daydream came over and said.

"Right, Pearl's accident happened during the lunch hour." Qin Luofei suddenly said.

"Yes, about that time. Miss, what happened to you?"
