Zu An couldn't help but said: "What must be done at night? You know I have to leave the palace after dusk."
After experiencing what happened last time when he and the Crown Princess were framed together, he now has PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) and is always worried about any misunderstandings and troubles that may arise from this.
Although he has the identity of the Embroidered Clothes Messenger and can stay in the palace, he cannot let the Queen know about it.
"You will know the specific details when the time comes." The Queen said calmly, "As for leaving the palace, you don't have to worry."
While she was talking, she took out another uniform from a drawer: "After dusk, you leave the palace first, then you put on this, get the badge, and then enter the palace. No one will know it's you."
Looking at the familiar clothes in front of him, Zu An had a very strange expression, because this was a set of clothes belonging to the embroidered messenger.
Of course he is just the lowest level bronze medal embroidered messenger.
Although he was a little confused at first, he soon felt relieved. As a queen, the resources that the other party could use must be far beyond his imagination. It would not be surprising to get a uniform of the embroidered messenger.
In addition, even so, she could only get a set of bronze medal uniforms. It seems that the embroidered cloth messenger has done a good job of keeping things secret.
"Okay, I'll come over again in the evening." With his status, it wasn't difficult to come over at night. Now that he had a clear excuse, Zu An naturally wouldn't refuse. He was also very curious. The Queen asked him to help.
, what on earth is going on.
After he left, Eunuch Lu's gloomy figure appeared in the room: "Have you made up your mind?"
The queen looked indifferent: "Does this palace still have a choice? If I had known about that matter from the beginning, I would not have had to do that, leaving some hidden dangers in vain..."
Eunuch Lu hesitated: "It may not be what the empress guessed."
The queen shook her head: "So what if I guess wrong, there is no loss; on the contrary, if I guess right..."
Speaking of this, her eyes became intense.
Eunuch Lu's eyes also shone with a strange light: "Then I wish your Majesty that all your wishes will come true."
Queen Feng glared: "You little slave, how can you be more excited than me?"
Eunuch Lu chuckled: "This slave is happy for your Majesty. My Majesty has suffered all these years and finally sees hope."
The queen raised her eyebrows and her chest rose sharply. It was obvious that she was in a very uneasy mood at this time: "How are the other arrangements arranged?"
Eunuch Lu said respectfully: "Don't worry, Madam, everything has been arranged."
The queen hummed and waved her hand to signal him to leave.
Then he came to the bronze mirror, looked at the woman in the mirror, and gently touched her face with her fingers. The gold nail covers on her little finger and ring finger were inlaid with precious gems, which made her fair face even more luxurious and beautiful.
Let's say that after Zu An left Kunning Palace, he made a long circle to make sure no one was following him, then put on the gold medal eleven clothes and returned to the embroidery building.
Soon a subordinate came to report the results of the investigation during this period.
Xinrui’s younger brother is called Hua Xiaohai. He is a layabout. He likes to hang out in gambling houses. Basically, he loses more than he wins. He asks his mother for money every time. But how much does his mother cost to sew clothes for others? The last of these
Money basically comes from the core.
Recently I heard that Aunt Hua also arranged for him to have a wife and prepared a lot of betrothal gifts. Everyone who knew Hua Xiaohai envied him for having a good sister, because it was obvious that all the money was provided by his sister.
Neighbors reported that Aunt Hua doted on her son, but on the contrary, she often beat and scolded her daughter. There were times when her daughter couldn't stand the gambler's temperament of her younger brother and refused to give him money. Aunt Hua would cry and complain that her daughter was unfilial.
He said that he wanted the Hua family to be extinct and so on.
The neighbors sympathized with her daughter. They had met her a few times and knew that she was pretty and gentle. Many of them even made plans to find a matchmaker to propose marriage.
But later they found out that she was from the palace, and they didn't want to get involved with that bad gambler brother, so the neighbors gave up their minds.
…
After listening to the information from his men's investigation, Zu An secretly sighed. He didn't expect that there would be a brother-in-law demon in this world.
He then asked: "By the way, has the portrait of the carriage come out?"
The subordinate replied: "The painter has drawn it, but the people in that place are just ignorant. They think it's something a little more impressive. If it's placed in the capital, it's just an ordinary carriage, and there's no way to check it."
Zu An looked at the result image and found that there was no information on it that could reveal his origin.
In fact, if you think about it, how could someone pick someone up in a carriage that revealed their origins?
At this time, the silver messenger in charge of another group of people came to report: "Master Eleven, these days we have searched all the wells, ponds, lake bottoms and various hidden corners in the entire palace, and we have found a few bodies.
Skeletons, but those are all old cases, and the identities of those people have been determined, not that Core."
Zu An was dumbfounded when he heard this. No wonder there were so many supernatural rumors in the Forbidden City in his previous life, saying that there were countless innocent souls buried in it.
The palace is indeed a place for eating people.
"It doesn't make sense," Zu An said with a headache. "We can't find any record of her leaving the palace, but we can't find her in the palace. Did a living person just disappear out of thin air?"
At this time, the silver messenger who was responsible for looking for people in the palace said: "There is no record of leaving the palace alive, so what if he is taken out after he is dead?"
Zu An's heart moved, yes, there are space rings in this world.
It's just that not everyone's space magic weapon is as incredible as his glass orb. Most storage magic weapons have limited space and may not be able to fit an adult.
Some special magic weapons have larger internal spaces, but those holders are extremely noble people and should not bother to do such a thing.
Zu An immediately ordered: "You immediately go to investigate the entry and exit records of all palace gates. This time, you are not looking for the core itself, but to see who has brought space artifacts or other things with them when they go out."
The silver envoy shook his head: "Master Eleven, you don't know. Wearing space magic weapons when entering and leaving the palace is to prevent some people with ulterior motives from bringing in dangerous items that endanger the safety of the nobles. Every palace gate
There are dedicated personnel everywhere checking this.”
Zu An was stunned. He didn't expect that the palace's defense measures were so strict, and he even thought of this. Fortunately, his glazed orb had been refined into his body, and others couldn't find it out at all.
Wait, the palace is so well-defended, how did Yun Jianyue and his group sneak in before?
Although he handed over Cheng Xiong to close the case, he knew that he was just a scapegoat, and he had not found out Yun Jianyue's real culprit.
He shook his head to expel these complicated things from his mind. When the top priority is not to investigate those, let's go back to this case: "Then you go and investigate, who of those people who left the palace were carrying packages and other things during this period?
I have observed that the inspection is strict when entering the palace, and the items you carry with you when leaving the palace are relatively easy to carry."
He suspected that Xin Rui might have been dismembered and taken out. Of course, if the other party had something like corpse powder from the TV series, he would have no choice but to admit defeat.
The silver medal envoy looked troubled, and just as he was about to say something, Zu An had already stuffed a handful of silver notes into his hands: "Brothers, you have worked hard during this period. Take it and share it with us. There will be rewards from the emperor after the case is solved."
If you want to make people 996, you can't follow the example of some entrepreneurs in previous lives who only talk about their ideals. Anyway, he has a lot of money, and the princess just rewarded him with a large sum not long ago.
Seeing the thick stack of silver notes, the silver medal envoy's eyes lit up, and he no longer had the previous embarrassment and accepted the order with great interest.
After working in the embroidery building for several hours, as night gradually fell, Zu Anxian left the palace as his own identity and left a record. The incident with the Crown Princess last time left a flaw here, and he could not make the same mistake again.
Outside he changed into the bronze messenger clothes the queen gave him, and after entering the palace, he quietly made his way to Kunning Palace.
It stands to reason that as Kunning Palace is the queen's palace, there should be many guards, maids and eunuchs.
But I don’t know why, but it’s extremely quiet now, with only occasional people passing by.
Zu An felt wary, the queen wouldn't have specially laid a trap for me, right?
