"How is that possible? This person is obviously a maid, and she immediately ran outside Cining Gate to stop the prince and his party. There were so many people in Cining Garden at that time. If she had directly spoken to seduce Brother Baoqing
Yes, it’s impossible that no one at the scene heard it?”
Liang Jiugong was a little confused. He couldn't help turning his head to look at Kangxi and asked Wei Zhu who was standing down.
He had tried so hard to find this "little eunuch", but now he told him that she was actually a "big maid"!
This is too much of a slap in the face, isn't it? Doesn't it prove that all his previous busy work was just running around on the wrong track?
Similarly, not only Liang Jiugong had doubts, but Kangxi also couldn't figure it out.
His index finger stopped tapping the table, waiting for Wei Zhu to continue explaining.
Baoqing once told him in the main hall of Cining Palace that when Baoqing was still living in the Galli family, a young eunuch told him about the Ice Jubilee Competition. He also emphasized how many types of activities there were in the competition. The scenes included
It was a lot of fun, because the lecture was so attractive that Baoqing, who was just over three years old at the time, firmly remembered the "Ice Jubilee Event" in his heart.
Later, little Hesheli was inspired by Bao Qing's words and quickly pointed out that there was salt on the ice and that the disaster was not an accident but a murder.
Quickly seize everyone who visited Cining Garden that day.
After returning to the Qianqing Palace in the evening, he also arranged for Liang Jiugong to go to the Jingshi Room to find a consultant to find all the young eunuchs who had received the order to leave the palace three months before the incident.
After all, the three little masters drowned in the Cining Garden, so the first thing can be investigated openly, but the second thing is the source of this disaster, and the secret investigation is very secretive.
In order to avoid alerting the enemy and letting the people behind him notice, Liang Jiugong abandoned his car to protect his commander. Every day, Liang Jiugong waited until he got off duty and took off his red-topped eunuch hat with flower feathers.
, He changed the python robe embroidered with crane patterns into ordinary and ordinary eunuch clothes, and sneaked into the minister's room to find a consultant for investigation.
The two of them took advantage of their off-duty time to conduct detailed investigations one by one. It took them nearly ten days to finally pinpoint the target suspect on an eunuch named Xiao Anzi in Yanxi Palace.
The records of the Jingshi Room show that Xiao Anzi left the palace in early November last year, that is, one month before the incident.
When Liang Jiugong took Xiao Anzi to the Criminal Division for questioning, Xiao Anzi initially insisted that he was just obeying the order of his master, Concubine Na La, and went outside the palace to deliver the concubine's newly made clothes to Brother Baoqing.
Seeing that what Xiao Anzi said was totally inconsistent with reality, Liang Jiugong threatened that he was the anti-Qing and Ming forces who secretly bewitched Brother Baoqing. He scared Xiao Anzi out of fear even before he was tortured.
, hesitantly revealed something that he had kept secret for more than a month.
·
According to Xiao Anzi's recollection, that day he obeyed Concubine Nala's order and was about to step out of the Yanxi Palace with clothes and packages in his arms. He suddenly had diarrhea for no apparent reason, so much so that his legs became weak.
I can't walk normally
, coupled with the low status of his little master, not only was it difficult to apply for the token to leave the palace, but the time spent outside the palace was also short. Xiao Anzi was extremely anxious, fearing that he would delay his errands and not say anything. This was not easy.
The opportunity given to Yanxi Palace to leave the palace was also wasted.
While he was in a hurry, Xiao Anzi happened to meet Xiao Xiazi, who had been transferred to Yanxi Palace with him, outside the Gongfang.
Xiao Xiazi was a clumsy person. Apart from occasionally talking to Xiao Anzi, she didn't have much communication with other palace residents of Yanxi Palace. Therefore, she never got much attention from her master and spent all day as a rough messenger on the periphery.
.
Xiao Anzi felt really uncomfortable in her stomach, and thought that the task of delivering clothes was not difficult to handle, and that it would be an extremely rare job to give the hard-working Xiao Natsuko the opportunity to go outside the palace, so she took advantage of the situation and asked Xiao Natsuko to help.
He takes a trip.
Xiao Xiazi declined several times before agreeing. Because of their different grades, they exchanged clothes.
Xiao Xiazi put on a eunuch python robe embroidered with oriole patterns and a sixth-grade eunuch hat with a nickel white top. She took the token from Xiao Anzi and hurried out of the palace.
Xiao Anzi put on the blue cloth robe of a rough official. In order to avoid being discovered and causing trouble, he stayed in the eunuch's ear room and did not come out. Fortunately, Xiao Xiazi was quick and it only took about an hour.
After delivering the clothes, we returned to Yanxi Palace.
The two servants quickly changed their clothes, because Yanxi Palace now has no queen, and there are few people serving the palace. After Xiao Xiazi came back, Xiao Anzi hurriedly went to Nala's concubine.
Returned to life.
In this way, without anyone noticing, the two men hid the matter under the nose of their master.
Liang Jiugong, who learned the whole story from Xiao Anzi, had no time to react violently, and felt bad in his heart. He led the people as fast as possible and ran towards the Yanxi Palace to prepare to arrest the man.
Xiao Xiazi, however, when he rushed to the scene in a hurry, the man had already hanged himself in the wing room...
There was no evidence, nothing was found.
Liang Jiugong was so angry that he only had one clue left in his hand. Later, Brother Baoqing added in Qianqing Palace that the person who tricked him and his two cousins into playing on the ice in the Cining Garden was him.
The voice sounded like that of a little eunuch.
Precisely because of the clear gender orientation of Brother Baoqing, Kangxi asked Liang Jiugong to take all the eunuchs present at the time and take them back to the Shenxing Department for a second interrogation.
However, when he was interrogated again, Liang Jiugong was so meticulous that he dug up information about three generations of these people's ancestors, but the result was still unsatisfactory. They were all innocent slaves with no problems whatsoever.
The clues ended here, leaving him and the emperor still confused as to whether the "little eunuch" Baoqing brother mentioned existed or not.
If it doesn't exist, then who was it that originally tempted Brother Baoqing to play on the ice?
And if he existed, how could he bewitch Bao Qing in front of so many people at the scene?
Seeing Liang Jiugong's confused look and the emperor's face dark and gloomy, Wei Zhu lowered her head lower: "The master doesn't know something, and the slave finally learned from the maid that the reason why she was able to become
The important secret lurking in Prince Yu's palace is because she has the ability to change her voice and speak ventriloquism."
"Changing your voice and ventriloquism?"
"Haha~ No wonder!"
Kangxi finally connected all the doubts after hearing this explanation.
Why did Baoqing say that he clearly did not see the man, but there was a voice like a little eunuch whispering in his ear: Brother Baoqing, the water has no taste, but the ice on the lotus pond is salty.
Yes, it’s delicious and fun.
Why did Liang Jiugong clearly check that all the eunuchs present were innocent, but the "little eunuch" who Bao Qing said was extremely suspicious could not be found out.
This maid was really smart and stupid at the same time. She cleverly acted like she was too frightened and didn't know what to do, and ran outside Cining's gate in a panic to stop someone from asking for help.
If the phrase "Concubine Hesheli" hadn't revealed the truth, little Hesheli was a smart and perceptive person. Just from this title, he could tell that something was wrong with this person. I'm afraid that even if the three of them were saved this time,
If something really happened, this cunning remnant of the White Lotus Sect would cleanse himself of all his sins openly and openly afterwards, and continue to act like a poisonous snake hiding behind his back, swooping up when people are unprepared.
Take a bite.
Thinking of this, Kangxi was almost furious. As an emperor, it felt so bad to be fooled by these villains!
But because the stimulation brought by Cao Yin was too great, Kangxi could still try to stabilize his temper and maintain a clear mind and logic to analyze the current situation.
Cao Yin, who was sitting on the armchair on the right, felt his heart wavering like ocean waves when he heard the news. He didn't expect that he had only been away from the capital for more than half a year, and so many things had happened in the capital.
"That is to say, except for the force hidden in the harem that you still can't find out, the rest of the bugs have floated to the surface?" Kangxi stared at Wei Zhu who was standing at the bottom with sharp eyes.
Wei Zhu, who was stared at by the emperor's oppressive eyes, felt extremely uncomfortable, but now he has indeed tried his best: "Master forgives me because it is my slave's incompetence that can't find out all the reactionary things for the master."
power, but judging from the information currently available, the most hidden power at present is the harem."
"Okay, you and Ziqing should retreat and rest first. I know what's going on."
After living for more than twenty years, Kangxi felt that he had received the most stimulation tonight, which overturned some of his usual cognitions. He weakly waved his hand to signal the two people below him to leave first.
"Yes, I excuse you." Upon seeing the emperor's gesture, Cao Yin and Wei Zhu bowed in unison, and then exited the imperial study room.
"Mr. Cao, I will leave first." Wei Zhu, who was standing at the foot of the steps outside the imperial study room, bent down slightly and saluted Cao Yin, who was still standing at the top of the steps.
Cao Yin also hurriedly bent down and bowed his hands in return: "It's good to go, father-in-law."
"The same goes for Mr. Cao." After Wei Zhu finished speaking, he turned and left.
Watching Wei Zhu go away, Cao Yin shivered severely when he was blown by the night wind. Only then did he realize that the clothes on his back had been soaked with cold sweat inadvertently. He used a slightly trembling With his right hand, he wiped the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and walked towards the gate of Qianqing Palace with his legs and feet slightly weak.
His eyes were lowered, and he was still a little uneasy in his heart. Even if the emperor had no intention of dealing with him tonight, as soon as he remembered that he knew the big secret, even before the emperor, he couldn't help but worry about where to wait. When Tian Ping regains his mood, the emperor who has come to his senses will turn himself into a dead man who will never speak for the sake of the royal family's face...
In the royal study.
Kangxi was still sitting on the chair, his eyes fixed on the yellow cover of the thick booklet presented by Cao Yin without saying anything. Liang Jiugong behind him also quietly lowered his head to accompany the rare and fragile young emperor. I was digesting the new news I heard tonight in my heart.
After about a quarter of an hour passed, Kangxi stood up from the chair, moved his body, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "After dinner tomorrow, go to Yikun Palace and ask Niu Hulu to come and do it." Qing Palace."
"Yes, I obey your order."
"Your Majesty, it's getting late now. Why don't we go back and go to bed? As you know, His Highness drank a lot of water before going to bed tonight."
Kangxi's heart was filled with extremely complex and indescribable melancholy. After Liang Jiugong finished speaking, the foot he just stepped out stopped again...
