叶初棠沉吟片刻,又将屋内各处检查了一遍。

除了萧岚曦死前在床木上抓出的几道血痕,其他地方竟当真无所异常。

负责看守此地的禁卫军回答都和那个宫人一样——他们昨晚上的确什么都没听见。

甚至直到用晚饭的时候,萧岚曦都是照旧用了,和往日并无不同。

叶初棠查完以后,命令他们将瑶华宫封锁,又回了祈元殿。

她将所见所闻都如实复述给了穆武帝。

穆武帝眉头皱起,“这么说,她是中毒身亡?”

叶初棠顿了顿,“看起来像是砒霜。”

“看起来?”

“是。”叶初棠低眉敛目,“臣女只是简单查看,并未为玉和公主尸检,故而只能做个大致推测。但可以确定的是,她应该是凌晨才断的气,而且死前经受了不小的折磨,但不知为何,她全都生生忍下了,竟一点动静都无。所以直到宫人早上去给她送饭,才发现出事儿了。”

穆武帝眉头皱的更紧,“难不成她是自己寻死?”

叶初棠摇摇头,“臣女不知。”

穆武帝眯起眼睛,沉声开口,“那她的毒又是从何处寻来?”

叶初棠一顿。

“那毒药应是早早就被她藏于齿中,所以先前搜身的时候并未被发现。”

“藏毒于齿?”

穆武帝气极反笑,
“她还真是好生厉害!堂堂公主,连这等阴毒手段都用上了!怎么,做了亏心事,便早做准备,以防东窗事发!?她这一死,倒是痛快!”

叶初棠没有说话。

穆武帝会如此恼怒,其实也不难理解。

他本来就不喜欢这个有着异族血脉的女儿,加上不久之前她刚被揭发,做下许多荒唐恶事。

穆武帝正对她心存怨怼。

就算她今日不死,穆武帝也不会留她太久。

但萧岚曦突然选择了自杀,无疑是将了穆武帝一军。

他就是有再多的愤怒,也无法了。

但穆武帝终究是咽不下这口气的。

他脸色阴沉,冷声下令,“传朕的旨意!萧岚曦陷害兄长,畏罪自戕,罪无可恕!今日起,将其从皇室除名!更不允葬入皇陵!”

……

半个时辰后,叶初棠出了宫,带着小五坐马车回家。

小五有些好奇地打量着她。

——阿姐瞧着怎么好像有心事?难道今日在宫里遇到了什么事吗?
刚走出没多远,外面就传来太监尖利的催促声。

“还不快着点儿?”

小五凑过去,一只手将帘子挑开一条缝,朝外看去。

叶初棠眸光微动,视线落在小五睁大眼朝外打量的小脸上,眉梢轻轻一扬。

小五却没觉得有什么不对,等看清那边的情形后眨了眨眼,回头朝着叶初棠看来,还给她指了指。

叶初棠朝外看去,就见到几个宫人正用席子裹了一具尸体往外匆匆走去。

一缕长发垂下,似乎是个女子,隐约可见一抹华贵的衣角。

这样的事在宫中并不罕见。

若是没猜错,那里面的……便是萧岚曦了。

叶初棠收回视线。

只怕谁也想不到,堂堂公主,最后竟也会落得这般下场吧。

马车继续往前,渐行渐远。

忽然,叶初棠心头一跳,
“等等!”(本章完)

侯爷的掌心娇是朵黑心莲
Author:

Heir of a traditional medical family, Ye Chutang rolled through life for a lifetime, only to unexpectedly die just as she was about to inherit. Reborn, she only wanted to be a slacker and live a carefree life. Unexpectedly, at the beginning, she suffered a critical blow: her parents and eldest brother were assassinated, leaving her with three younger siblings. The third brother was seriously injured, the fourth brother was in a coma, and there was also a baby crying for milk. She weighed the cold steamed bun in her hand, looked despairingly at the sky, and thought that managing three at once was worse than starting over. The little baby tugged at her pant leg. "Hungry." Ye Chutang: "..." Get up and work! ...Ye Chutang’s plan was perfect; once she raised the children, she could retire and enjoy her later years. Yet, a man had different intentions. "Miss Ye, after all these years, shouldn't there be an explanation?" Ye Chutang: "6." You used to linger at my doorstep and now it’s my fault? ... The Ye family was impressive: Ye Sanlang was the top scholar of the current dynasty, Ye Si-lang had made great military achievements in the northwest, and Ye Wu girl had a commercial empire rivaling the rich and powerful. Only Ye Er-girl was busy raising her younger siblings, unknowingly aging and facing difficulties in marriage. Until one day, the powerful Duke of Dingbei, Shen Yanchaun, arrived with a bridal procession ten miles long to welcome her. Ye Chutang remained silent for a long time. "This time, you take care of the kids."
