Chapter 210 Starting from the bottom and closing the net
It's raining, and the spring rain continues, nourishing everything. The raindrops on the eaves fall and hit the bluestone ground, creating a click-and-click sound. When these sounds show a certain pattern, they sound a bit rhythm.
The raindrops wet the yard of Qingzhi Palace, making Concubine Du even more humid. In order to stabilize her mind, Concubine Du forced herself to practice calligraphy in the palace every day. She used one piece of rice paper after another, and the inkstone was ground again and again, but her heart could not calm down.
When writing the word "jing", the last stroke of paper was drawn, and the splashed ink stained the silk, making a small black flower dizzy on the originally white face.
"Empress, empress!"
Concubine Du looked up and saw her close maid rushing into the study in panic.
"What happened?"
"It's Eunuch Chen. He led the imperial guards to break in and said he wanted to search!"
Concubine Du put down her wolf hair, tidy up her clothes, and her expression remained unchanged. Facing the murderous imperial guards, Concubine Du asked dignifiedly, "Eunuch Chen?"
"Oh, I see the Imperial Concubine!"
"Eunuch Chen, what are you doing?"
"Report to the Imperial Concubine, the old slave is just ordered to search the incense burner. If you disturb the Imperial, please don't blame me!"
"Who is ordered? Who is the order? Searching the incense burner, why is this?"
"The old slave is naturally the order of His Highness Xiang. As for searching the incense burner, it is because the emperor's death is related to incense."
"What did you say! The emperor died? When did you dare to deceive me, I......"
"Imperial Concubine, I have a few brains to make jokes about the emperor's life and death!"
"Let me make it clear!"
"Imperial Concubine, I have not intervened or investigated the emperor's affairs. It is difficult for me to make arbitrary statements about the twists and turns of this. However, according to the review of the Imperial Hospital and Dali Temple, it is unanimous to believe that incense is one of the poisons. That is why His Highness Xiang ordered the old slave to search the incense burners in the palaces where the emperor stayed for the longest time, and asked the empress to admire her face!"
Chen Yuanzhen straightened up, and without waiting for Concubine Du to agree or not, he ordered to his subordinates: "Take all the incense burners in Qingzhi Palace immediately, and don't leave any of them!"
The imperial guards immediately started to search in Qingzhi Palace with great fanfare. Some people tried too hard to knock over many objects, which made the maid feel distressed, but after looking at Du Guifei's peaceful demeanor, they could only give up.
After a lot of trouble, the imperial guards searched out three incense burners. Chen Yuanzhen nodded with satisfaction and said to Concubine Du: "Thank you, Concubine, I'm leaving now!"
"Empress, they are really bullying people too much!" The maid saw Chen Yuanzhen walking away, and then couldn't help but guess: "Empress, why would the emperor be poisoned? If the emperor dies, then... what should you do, Empress!"
"This palace also gave birth to a prince. According to the custom of the Liang Dynasty, once a child has been given to the royal family, he can leave the palace to live with his children."
"What about...what are those who are out of nothing? For example...Yingcai people?"
"The concubines in the harem who had no child could only be sent to Hanguang Temple, shaved their hair and were not allowed to step out of the temple gate in their lifetime!"
"Oh? Hanguang Temple? That kind of temple cannot trap me."
Yingcairen lit a wind lamp, and a figure standing behind Yingcairen reflected on the lampshade. She was talking to this person.
"Shaoyin and I were locked up together, but I don't know where he was locked up."
"It's okay, it's okay, I'll save you first!"
Fat Kui took the sharp knife and tossed on the iron lock for a long time. Apart from leaving traces on the iron lock, he could not open the iron lock at all.
"Pangkui, we have never learned the ability to unlock locks. You are just in vain to do this!"
"Oh, when I escape to see the Master, I must add another lesson to the students, that is, unlock the lock!"
At this time, someone could still be amused, but Xuan Shaoning thought that only Fat Kui could do it.
"Fat Kui, since you are free, then you should leave here quickly and go out to find someone else to help!"
"Shaoning, I'll tell you that I heard you had pushed me all the things that poisoned the emperor."
"What? Poison the Emperor? I haven't figured out what happened in this matter yet! Also, how could it involve you?"
"Yes! I am Fat Kui, but I am Fat Kui, I am not stupid! You have been in the southeast. How could you know that I went to the palace to be a chef for the emperor? I have also figured it out, it must be the two jailers who are alienating us!"
"Disassisting us?" Xuan Shaoning began to feel the danger. "No, Fat Kui, how did you escape?"
"The jailers were in a hurry to lock the door, so they didn't lock it completely. Then I stole a sharp knife from the kitchen, so I used this sharp knife to open the door lock."
"The kitchen? The iron lock is not completely locked?" Xuan Shaoning only felt that all this was incredible. This was in Dali Temple, not Qingshan Academy! How could Fat Kui, as a prisoner, go to the kitchen? And the prisoner did not lock the door in place because he was in a hurry? All abnormalities mean that there was a conspiracy in it!
"Fat Kui, there must be a conspiracy in this! Go back to the cell quickly!"
"I said that I'm not stupid either. I have seen these flaws that were deliberately exposed. Someone should have deliberately wanted me to escape. However, Shaoning, I can't do anything even if I stay in the cell, but I can still do something if I come out."
"Fat Kui?"
Fat Kui handed the sharp knife to Xuan Shaoning, signaled him to hide it, and then whispered: "Mr. Shen, he asked me to go to the kitchen to make some snacks for the emperor today. He must have had other plans, but I am stupid and can't think of it, so I can only tell you."
"I understand. You should go back to the cell and while no one has discovered it yet, I believe King Yu will definitely have a solution!"
