223 Liao's Reconsideration
"Come here, come here... something big has happened... it's gone!"
"Come on, come..."
Early in the morning, the Han Palace was alarmed by such a sound.
Before the sunlight could clear away the layers of clouds, it came out. The sound had already reached Zhangde Palace.
Wuling hurried to the door of the emperor's dormitory and ordered Hideyoshi to prepare the dragon robe immediately.
Hideyoshi didn't know what happened in the palace, and she couldn't help but wonder when she saw him panic. "Why did you come here in a hurry this morning? Your Majesty hasn't woken up yet."
"If you ask you to prepare, go quickly, why don't you say so much?" Wuling didn't give her a good look.
"What's wrong with you?" Hideyoshi saw that he was unhappy and got angry: "Have I provoked you? Talk well, what kind of evil fire do you make?"
"If you want to go, go quickly, there is no such a lot of nonsense." Wuling said with a stiff temper: "If you don't want to go and get it, there will naturally be people who are willing."
"You are so hateful!" Hideyoshi forced herself to regain her dissatisfaction, and she twisted her body and left.
Seeing this, Xiuqun quickly came to persuade him: "Don't be angry with her. She is like this. She is straightforward and has become a little anxious. But she is not bad and serving His Majesty is considered attentive."
Wuling's attitude towards her has improved a lot: "Don't worry, I will not conflict with others for no reason."
This is a very connotational sentence. Xiuqun seemed to understand it and stopped talking about anything.
At this time, Liu Zhao had already woken up, and he had heard some of the noise outside the door. "Send me to wash up."
After this sound, Wuling pushed open the door and ordered Yingzao's servants to go in and serve him quickly.
"Your Majesty, something happened in Xuanming Palace." Wuling said at the right time: "I heard from the servant who served inside that the body of Meiren Liu was gone.
Liu Zhao rinsed his mouth and said indifferently: "What a strange thing."
"The slave has already ordered people to look for it everywhere." Wuling didn't know whether the emperor was angry or not. In short, when Meiren Liu suddenly disappeared, it would definitely cause a storm in the harem.
"I'll be spared this morning." Liu Zhao thought for a moment, "The matter has not been found out yet, so it's best not to let the court officials speculate randomly. In addition, let the concubines gather in Yongle Palace with a message. I want to ask, what explanation is there for such a big thing."
"No." Wuling immediately retreated.
When I walked out the door, I happened to meet Hideyoshi who was holding a dragon robe.
Hideyoshi's eyes turned and pretended that she didn't see him. She walked in with her dragon robe. "Your Majesty, please change your clothes."
"Um." Liu Zhao nodded slightly.
At this time, Hideyoshi said deliberately: "I have ordered people to prepare breakfast, which is what Your Majesty likes all day long. Oh, should you use some first before going to court?"
"I won't go to court early today." Liu Zhao raised his head and let Hideyoshi tidy up his collar. "There is no need for breakfast."
"Is Your Majesty so anxious about the matter of Xuanming Palace?" Hideyoshi said again: "When I just went to get the dragon robe, I heard that something happened to Xuanming Palace. I don't know what happened in the palace recently, so I always say it again and again."
Hidetomi Hideyoshi winked at her and told her not to talk more.
But Hideyoshi seemed to have not heard it, and said with his temperament: "I don't know if there is a villain around His Majesty that makes such uneasy in the palace. I feel that it is really not possible. Why not ask the mage to enter the palace to see what it is, so that it can be resolved."
"You have thoughtful ideas." Liu Zhao looked at her: "Then why do you think the anger around me is causing?"
"Well..." Xiuqun thought to himself, why else could it be caused? Isn't it because of Guiren Deng? Of course, she naturally didn't dare to say so clearly, so she said: "I don't dare to talk nonsense. But over the past year, there have been too many things in the harem. I always feel that something is wrong, and it's better for the lover to come and take a look."
"More than a year?" Liu Zhao heard what the girl said: "You are very careful about the affairs of the harem."
"I am lucky enough to serve Your Majesty, so I must pay attention to everything so that your Majesty can know what to do when he asks." Hideyoshi thought it was the emperor who was praising him, and couldn't help but be happy.
"Follow me to Yongle Palace." Liu Zhaozhi threw down this sentence and went out on his own.
"Xiuqun, don't follow me." Hideyoshi stopped Xiuqun, with a look of a grand aunt's pride, and ordered: "There are so many things in the palace that have not been handled well, so stay and stare at it. Without us here, those girls and slaves will definitely be lazy. I will compete with Yongle Palace."
"No." Xiuqun also argued with her. Seeing her turn and leave, she said, "I don't know anything about the disaster. I don't know if it's right to say that you're too smart or that you're stupid as a pig."
All the way to Yongle Palace, the concubines who were quick to walk were already greeting the queen outside the Yongle Palace.
Yin Lingyue was wearing a light honey-colored phoenix robe, looking dignified and steady, yet still gentle. "I pay homage to Your Majesty."
"Meet Your Majesty."
Liu Zhao walked over with a brisk step and nodded slightly: "Let's flat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yin Lingyue smiled lightly, and then looked worried again: "Your Majesty spared today's morning court, was it because of the matter of Meiren Liu? I have already checked someone. It is impossible for a good person to disappear in a blink of an eye. There must be some misunderstandings in this."
"Yes." Liu Zhao didn't say much, but just walked all the way to the main hall of Yongle Palace.
Yin Lingyue followed her step, but she couldn't keep up with the emperor's pace. She didn't know what was going on with this emperor, and why was it awkward to do it in her heart.
By chance, Deng Sui also rushed over at this time.
"I wish you to pay homage to your Majesty and pay tribute to the Empress."
Such a familiar voice naturally attracted people to stop and turn back.
Yin Lingyue only glanced at her and couldn't help but frown. Guiren Deng actually wore a palace robe with a honey color, and the color was much more straighter than the one on her body, not so lighter. She looked a little more agile.
"It's really time for Guiren Deng to come."
Deng Sui didn't say anything, just lowered his head.
Liu Zhao brushed his dragon robe and stepped into the main hall, so the concubines followed him in, and no one waited for Deng Sui to enter first.
So she was the last one to walk in.
"Aren't Deng Guiren in the Palace of Huan?" Liu Zhao asked casually. In fact, he asked Wuling to invite the concubines to come, including Deng Sui. The reason why he was so useless was to show the queen and the others, making everyone angry about the things that Deng Guiren was entangled.
"I learned that Your Majesty had something to be summoned, so I rushed over." Deng Sui was calm and calm. "I have found out something. The witness is on the way and will soon arrive at the imperial city. So I came here specially today and asked Your Majesty to be kind. Can you be lenient for a few days and allow me to prove my innocence for myself."
Yin Lingyue hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this matter has been mentioned to me. But I think that certification can prove only one of the things that may be hidden. But the other things cannot be delayed. After all, everyone in the harem is focused on these things, which is really not easy to make the sisters uneasy. Since Your Majesty has arrived today and Deng is here, it is better to take advantage of this skill to find out carefully so that everyone can feel at ease."
"The Empress's Appreciation." Deng Sui said in a deep eyes: "When my certification arrives in the palace, all the matters can be solved easily. I guarantee that I can restore the truth of the matter and will never be vague. Otherwise, I am willing to accept any punishment, and I also ask Your Majesty to answer my request."
"I'm afraid this is not good, right?" Liao Zhuobi would naturally object. "If the matter has not been found out yet, then you can't say that he is not guilty. We don't know what kind of name he is in the name of Deng Guiren. Besides, he is the person you found, so it's not an exaggeration to say a few words for you. Just relying on such a little excuse, you will have to trust His Majesty, which is a bit far-fetched."
"What do you think of?" Deng Sui looked at her unhurriedly: "Or else you can make a better suggestion. If everyone nodded, then I will listen to you first."
"Of course, I will explain clearly who the guard who was caught by Concubine Zhou." Liao Zhuobi's eyes turned and he had an idea: "In fact, Concubine Deng can confront that man in front of His Majesty and the Empress. If you are innocent, Your Majesty will definitely punish the guard who slandered your innocence. In this way, even without certification, it will not ruin your reputation."
Speaking of this, Liao Zhuobi smiled and saluted the emperor and empress: "I don't know if Your Majesty and Empress agree with me. I think it's just that I can't keep the fire, but Mr. Deng is really innocent, so I'm not afraid that we can use this method to solve this problem."
"Okay." Liu Zhao said calmly: "Then the nobleman Deng will truthfully report the identity of the garrison so that I can investigate Wuling and quickly bring people over to confront you."
"Your Majesty." Deng Sui looked embarrassed: "It's hard for me. This garrison is just a false person. If you want to be punished, I hope that I really have something to say to him. But in fact, I don't know that there is such a person at all. I can't just mess around with me, just to deal with the inquiries in the palace!"
"Guru Deng doesn't have to pretend to be confused by his understanding." Liao Zhuobi said angrily: "Do you want me to remind you? When you were assassinated in the imperial tomb that day, you were rescued and sent back to the palace. Who is the guard who saved you? Earlier, you left the palace without authorization, in name as a rescuer, but who is the guard who accompanied you on the road? Do you think that if you don't tell me, others can't track down?"
Liao Zhuobi twisted his body and glanced at the maid behind him: "Your Majesty, please see, this is a evidence I have asked my mother's house to help me and found outside the palace. This thing is enough to prove that Deng Guiren is lying, but there is indeed such a garrison."
"Come on." Liu Zhao also wanted to know what the beautiful concubines were making behind their backs.
"This is a knot of unity, which is exactly the craftsmanship of Concubine Deng. There are two people's birth dates and horoscopes sewn inside. Your Majesty can read it, but it is definitely not about you and Concubine Deng." Liao Zhuobi handed the things to Xiuqun with his own hands.
Xiuqun only glanced at it, and the corners of his lips curled up. "Please check it out, Your Majesty."
She turned around and presented the thing.
Liu Zhao held the knot and looked at it again and again. His technique was indeed exactly the same as Deng Sui. Then he opened the small piece of silk inside, and there were indeed two people's birth dates and eight characters on it. One of them was indeed Deng Sui's.
"Your Majesty." Yin Lingyue couldn't help but be anxious: "Can you give me a look?"
After reading it, Liu Zhao gave it to Hideyoshi: "Then the queen, let's have a good look."
"If this thing is really so important, how could it be left outside the palace?" Yin Lingyue looked at Liao Zhuobi skeptically: "How did your mother's family know that this thing belongs to Guiren Deng? Guiren Liao, don't blame me for not reminding you that slandering concubines is a serious crime. You'd better say whatever you want, don't deceive Your Majesty."
"Don't worry, Empress, I don't dare." Liao Zhuobi said respectfully: "I have been thinking that the garrison that can be exchanged with Guiren Deng must not be an ordinary person. So I told people to thoroughly investigate all the garrisons who had contacted Guiren Deng before. I found that no one had accompanied Guiren Deng out of the palace. On the contrary, during Guiren Deng's two departures, some garrisons left without knowing each other for various reasons. One of them had followed Guiren Deng and left the palace almost at the same time. He also passed the same place along the way. But this person was not the garrison who served Guiren Deng at all. From this, it can be seen that there must be fraud here."
Speaking of this, Liao Zhuobi couldn't help but show a proud look. "The garrison in the palace was always praised by the people, and they were full of money. Over time, they developed a proud and extravagant spirit, which was different from the nobles who left the palace. Such people were very eye-catching in the crowd. In this case, my mother's family naturally had a way to ask if I had seen such a person, and I only need a little consideration to expose his whereabouts. Please be content with your Majesty and the Queen. I will never slander Deng."
"After saying so much, I didn't say the point." Feng Zhishui was a little impatient. "I said to Guiren Liao, don't swear people's appetite. Can you tell me directly and quickly, who is the guard? It's better to ask His Majesty to invite people to confront them in person and completely end this matter. Otherwise, after guessing like this, when will the end be?
"What Concubine Feng said is very much." Liao Zhuobi showed a gratified smile: "If I hadn't really found out about this matter, I wouldn't dare to mention the old things again. This person's name is You Ming, who is the guard guard in the palace. He was once a man in front of His Majesty, but because he was not valued, he was assigned to the inconspicuous guard of the palace."
It turned out to be You Ming!
Deng Sui was not surprised. The accident was because this person had only met her for a few times, and those people could add fuel to the fire and say so many rumors that were not conducive to her. It was not surprising that You Ming's identity was indeed suspicious. He used help when she needed it most. This was definitely suspected in the eyes of others.
"Is this person in the palace now?" Yin Lingyue asked.
"If you go back to the Queen, you won't be here." Liao Zhuobi said with some regret. "I found out the identity of this person, and I immediately went to look for him. Unfortunately, after he asked for leave, he would be speechless after leaving the palace, and he was gone. But after he asked for leave, he would appear in the imperial tomb, which also helped Guiren Deng a great favor, but he just didn't want to return to the palace... I can't figure out what's going on, so I can only ask Guiren Deng to explain to everyone."
Wang Ruoying burst out laughing.
It would be fine if the laughter was crisp, but it was full of sarcasm.
"Why are you laughing?" Liao Zhuobi immediately stretched his face: "Is my words wrong?"
"Of course you said something wrong, do you still need to ask?" Wang Ruoying only felt ridiculous: "I spent so much effort to say that Zhou Guiren knew about this, so Deng Guiren killed Zhou Guiren. But obviously the man had gone and there was no evidence to die, so you casually found a missing guard to pay the bill. The man was no longer in the palace, so how could he confront Deng Guiren? After all, it was all headless cases. Isn't this ridiculous? He was tired of listening to a lot of nonsense here with His Majesty and the Queen. It was simply ridiculous."
"It's outrageous." Liao Zhuobi was so angry that he was very angry: "How much effort did I put into finding out this matter? Who is Deng Guiren? If she wants to do such a thing, of course she will deal with it without any leakage. It's not easy to find out. You can try it!"
"I can't do it." Wang Ruoying said openly: "I know I don't have this ability, so I won't question whether others are innocent. Unless there is iron evidence, no matter how much you say, it's just a slander. Fortunately, your Majesty and the Queen are kind, otherwise you should be locked up in Yongxiang."
"You..." Liao Zhuobi was so angry that she was so angry that her face turned red like a pig's liver. "Then you go and ask Guiren Deng, how to explain this knot."
Deng Suira smiled: "Before I returned to the palace, I ordered people to send all the treasures in the palace to the palace. In this way, it would be a bit difficult to survive in the palace. So I asked Toran to secretly bring some handmade things he made out of the palace to exchange for silver. It was just because of face, I didn't report to Your Majesty, and I wouldn't let the Empress and the sisters know. But I don't know how Guiren Liao could track down this knot of heart. There was also the notes, although they looked very much like what I wrote, but they were not done by myself."
"How can I tell?" Liao Zhuobi didn't believe that Deng Sui was so kind, and she could ruin her plan in just a few words.
"Since I knew that Meishu would imitate my notes, I have paid special attention to similar things. I asked Toran to add some things to it in all the ink used in my palace. It was some glue made with fish bladder, which could make the ink smooth and smooth, and even in water, it would not easily dissipate so quickly. If you don't believe it, you can ask someone to go to my palace to get some, and then put it in the water with the ink on the silk to see if it is true."
Speaking of this, Deng Sui raised his eyebrows slightly: "I don't know where I offended you, Liao Guiren, so I was framed by you. As for how to get another birth date on the knot in the heart, it is obvious to everyone. You chose a seemingly useful garrison to accuse me. The palace's record records will naturally have his birth date, but if you want to use this record, there will inevitably be records. Even if you have a way to eliminate this record, there will be servants who will handle it. People, there will always be greed, and due to majesty, they may still be
There will be some concealment, but many people will surrender in front of high-ranking officials and generous salaries. As long as Your Majesty gives a decree to reward the slaves who know this matter, he will immediately stand up and expose your plan. Although I cannot prove myself that I am innocent with this garrison, I cannot provide ironclad evidence. But I can verify your plan through your actions, and this will wash away my grievances. But what should be done to be done to make this matter work, but I dare not speak out, so I ask Your Majesty to consider it." (To be continued)
