Chapter 38 There are no tigers in the mountains, but the monkey is the king
Xie Xufeng followed Hou Jie and just wanted to go in, but found that Jing Fei had no intention of following him in.
"Sir, I'll just... I'll forget it. I'm scared when I see the corpse..." Jing Fei said with a grimace.
Xie Xunfeng said calmly, "If you still want to follow me, follow me!"
Jing Fei grimaced and could only follow.
Xie Xunfeng thought very simply, Jing Fei is one of his own and must be put to good use in the future.
His men don't just need to know how to kill chickens.
And this is the first lesson.
With Hou Jie leading him, the guards at the prison gate no longer blocked him.
There was total darkness in the prison, which was like being in the Nine Underworlds.
Only a few unusually dim oil lamps provided illumination.
From time to time, heart-rending howls came from inside.
After Jing Fei came in, he held Xie Xunfeng's arm and never let go.
All the way down to the ground, the air was filled with a damp smell of blood.
Walking to the door of one of the rooms, Hou Jie said to Xie Xunfeng, "Xie Zhizi, have you thought about it?"
Xie Xunfeng nodded.
Hou Jie knocked on the door, and a hunchbacked old man opened the door.
The mortuary room was very bright.
However, this old man is a bit scary. He has a scrofulous head and a pair of gray eyes with white pupils.
The old man nodded to Hou Jie and looked at Xie Zhizi.
"Lao Mao, this is Xie Zhizi, here to check the body." Hou Jie said to Lao Mao's old man.
Lao Mao nodded and got out of the way.
He casually handed two basins to Xie Xunfeng and Jing Fei and said, "Don't spit on the ground."
Jing Fei held the basin tightly.
Xie Xunfeng said no.
After walking in, the room smelled like a rotting corpse.
The corpses were placed side by side in the corpse room.
The body was still covered with white cloth, so the smell was a little less unpleasant.
Hou Jie led Xie Xunfeng to a row of corpses.
He signaled Hou Jie to lift the white cloth.
The body was immediately revealed because an autopsy had been performed.
So the stomach is always cut open.
Jing Fei was the first to hold back, hugging the basin and started to vomit.
Xie Xunfeng checked as usual.
He observed very carefully.
He even went so far as to dissect the body again.
Xie Xunfeng's method of dissecting corpses made Hou Jie, the prison guard, unable to hold back.
He grabbed Jing Fei's basin and started to vomit.
After Xie Xunfeng had been busy for an hour, he went to wash his hands and walked out.
He now believes more and more that Xie Xunfeng is a fool.
If you are not a fool, how can you dissect the intestines and stomach of a corpse?
After Hou Jie thought of that smell, he retched a few more times.
After walking out of the prison, Xie Xunfeng asked Hou Jie to say, "Go home!"
"Thank you, why don't you check? Did you gain anything just now?" Hou Jie asked.
Xie Xunfeng glanced at Hou Jie and said, "Of course there are gains, so I need to follow your Majesty to report."
Hou Jie stared at Xie Xunfeng and said, "Do you know who the assassin is?"
Xie Xunfeng nodded and said, "It's almost the same."
Hou Jie's face was full of disbelief.
However, Xie Xunfeng didn't explain it to him.
Xie Xunfeng was so anxious because he mainly wanted to see Xiao Yiran.
He was still not sure that Xiao was still in the palace. After all, the harem was still the queen's territory.
He made Kunning Palace suffer such a humiliation, and the queen would definitely not let her go.
...
Xie Xunfeng was right to worry.
Xiao Yiran at this time
It's really hard.
Although he left Kunning Palace and went to Cining Palace, he did not even see the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother is a Buddhist and this month is Ramadan.
The Empress Dowager needs to eat fast and recite Buddha's name in the Buddhist hall in the palace for a month.
Therefore, even when the emperor came back, he had not yet met the empress dowager.
As the saying goes, there are no tigers in the mountains, but monkeys are kings.
Originally, the emperor's punishment was to have her serve in Cining Palace.
In addition, the Queen specially gave instructions.
The people in Cining Palace naturally listened to the Queen's words.
Therefore, from the time Xiao Yiran came to Cining Palace to now, he has been being sent around and bullied.
And Xiao Nalan heard that the Queen Mother was practicing in the Zen room.
Xiao was still being punished in Cining Palace.
He couldn't help but sneak out from Kunning Palace.
She wanted to torture him really well.
As soon as I arrived at the entrance of Cining Palace, an old nanny came to greet me.
"Princess Nalan, why are you here in person? We obeyed our orders and let her work from yesterday to now. Until now... we didn't even let her enter the house to sleep!" the old grandma said to her.
Xiao Nalan nodded and bowed.
"That's it? Mom, is this the care I ask you to take care of?" Xiao Nalan said with a hint of coldness in her voice.
The old grandma said awkwardly, "Eldest Princess, we have already asked her to do all our rough, heavy, and dirty work..."
Xiao Nalan snorted coldly and said, "Where is she now?"
"I'm pouring night fragrance in the latrine now," said the old woman.
Xiao Nalan smiled and said, "Huh, what does caring mean? You should learn from it!"
With that said, Xiao Nalan walked towards the latrine of Cining Palace.
At this time, there were dozens of night scented barrels placed next to the latrine.
Xiao Yiran looked unhappy because he hadn't slept well and was pouring the night incense bucket.
"Hey, isn't this Xiao Yiran who wants to be a fool's wife? Why didn't you go to Cheng Zhizi Mansion to be a fool's wife instead of pouring night fragrance here..." Xiao Na
Lan couldn't help shouting, her voice rising a little higher.
Xiao Yiran heard Xiao Nalan's voice, and his heart skipped a beat.
"You... weren't you grounded? Why did you come here? Aren't you afraid of your father's punishment?" Xiao Yiran said to Xiao Nalan with an increasingly ugly face.
"Oh, I really have a bad temper! Humph, that's right. I'm grounded... Have you ever seen the eldest princess come to Cining Palace?" Xiao Nalan faced the palace maid next to him extremely arrogantly.
the eunuch asked.
Everyone waved their hands and said no.
Xiao still gritted his teeth and ignored it, thinking about emptying the night incense buckets and leaving.
If she can't offend him, can't she hide from him?
As he said that, he got down to work.
"Xiao Yiran, you ***, you really don't understand the rules more and more... When you see this princess coming, why don't you greet her?" Xiao Nalan said provocatively.
Xiao Yiran saluted Xiao Nalan and said, "Forgive me, eldest princess, I have to pour night fragrance, so I can't give you a big gift."
Xiao Nalan snorted coldly and said, "Since she wants to pour Ye Xiang, why are you all standing there? Go and help her."
At first, the maids and eunuchs did not understand.
The personal maid who followed Xiao Nalan directly picked up a bucket of night incense and poured it directly towards Xiao Yiran.
Xiao was still so frightened that he wanted to hide, but he had not had a good night's rest and had not eaten. His feet became weak and he staggered.
He couldn't avoid it and was splashed all over his arms.
"Hahaha, do you know how to do it? Help Xiao Yiran pour the night fragrance..."
