It was rare that Pu Bucheng did not wait beside the old man today. Instead, he stood in the roster room of the Internal Affairs Prison, looking at several tall bookcases, and thought to himself.
Several eunuchs from the Imperial Guard were busy in front of the bookcases, cautiously and tremblingly, for fear that they would be too slow and make the unhappy Manager Park angry at them.
After a long time, a middle-aged eunuch came over with a thick list. Ancestors, eleven years after Hongwu, the list of people who left the palace is here. Here are those who have reached the age and were released by the emperor's grace. There are also everyone in the harem.
Concubines were given as rewards to the feudal princes and were taken to their fiefdoms!
Hard work Pu Bucheng said calmly.
The reason for this is that the roster was checked with great fanfare, and a person who should not have been released was released because of the internal prison.
The reason why Pu Bucheng can be called the ancestor in the palace today and can be trusted by the old man for so many years is because he is very careful and has keen intuition.
Things would not be that simple. If that person had wanted to leave the palace a long time ago. In the early years, relying on her reputation in the East Palace, the master just said it and went home to raise her. If she wanted to follow her old master, she could go out openly. Why?
Want to bribe Li Buren?
Furthermore, the time she went out was too short, so why did she go out at that time?
When something goes wrong, there must be a demon. When it comes to matters related to the Tian family, you can never be too careful!
Everyone, please go out! Pu Bucheng sat down and waved, and several eunuchs bowed their heads and left.
He carefully opened the dusty roster and began to check it one by one. At the same time, he was trying his best to recall and think in his mind.
He suddenly discovered something strange.
Before the eleventh year of Hongwu, the slaves in the East Palace were not released at all, only those who came in. But in the twelfth year of Hongwu, they were given to the kings of Qin, Jin, Yan, Zhou and other vassal kings as slaves four times. Until the twentieth year of Hongwu
A few years later, the vassal kings of Shu, King Ning and others also received rewards.
Among these slaves, there were not only pretty palace maids, but also nuns who were good at tea and food. This situation continued until the late prince became seriously ill.
Even if a person is released from the East Palace and has the oral instructions and documents of the master of the East Palace, he must be detained under the supervision of the internal officials and kept under the supervision of the internal officials.
Pu Bucheng's face tightened, and he turned to the page with the picture, his face suddenly turned cold, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
The female official of the East Palace and Chunhe Palace, Zhao!
Wow, Pu Bucheng's hand turned over quickly. Every time he released the palace servants, there was the word "Zhao" on the bottom.
This female official named Zhao was the dowry nun of the Crown Princess Lu. After entering the palace, she first served as the nanny to the eldest son of the Crown Prince, and then served as the female official in charge of the Chunhe Palace.
Logically speaking, he was a somewhat respectable person among the slaves in the East Palace and could talk to his master. But in the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu's reign, he was transferred to the Tea Pharmacy.
However, it was precisely because of this that she escaped disaster during the subsequent purge of the East Palace.
But Pu Bucheng knew in his heart that the reason why she escaped was not because she was forgotten. It was because he chose to forget when he ordered the killing.
Now the person he had forgotten sneaked out of the palace. He told him directly that something was definitely up to him.
This bitch!
Pu Bucheng gritted his teeth and his pupils narrowed.
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and looked up the list of released palace residents from the beginning again, looking at the released names one by one.
How come the people who were released were all slaves around Mrs. Lu? They had her dowry and the maids who had been training her for several years. Moreover, the person who handled it was all Aunt Zhao.
Suddenly, Pu Bucheng thought of something.
Then, regardless of the roster in front of him, he began to rummage in the bookcase behind him.
Where is the meal list? Where is the list of meals, medicines and soups for the masters in the palace? Pu Bucheng shouted loudly.
A middle-aged eunuch came in from the outside in panic, "Ancestor, you should be in charge of the emperor's meal list!"
The Zajia is asking about other people, other masters! Pu Bucheng said angrily.
Meals are given at Guanglu Temple, medicines are given at Imperial Hospital, and soup and tea are given at Taichi Tea Pharmacy! The eunuch said.
Plop, Pu Bucheng sat on the chair blankly.
Tea Pharmacy!
Immediately afterwards, he roughly tore out a few pages of his roster and stuffed them into his sleeves, and then walked out quickly with a cold face.
The tea dispensary in the Forbidden City is a relatively relaxed place. The people who work here are all veterans who have been in the palace for more than ten years. They are also people who do not want to show off their talents in front of the master and want to hide in peace.
.
When Pu Bucheng rushed to the tea pharmacy, the eunuch in charge was drinking tea on a recliner with his legs crossed and humming an unknown ditty.
The little nun was only twenty-eight years old, and she had her hair cut off in her youth!
I snorted twice, took a sip of good tea, and then said to myself with some emotion, "The little nun cut off his hair? Tsk, tsk, pity us men, we had it cut off when we were young..." Then, he stood there as if he was getting an electric shock.
Get up, kneel down and salute, Mr. Pu, I didn’t know you were here!
Pu Bucheng looked at him sideways, "You are living a more carefree life than the Za family!"
Isn’t this all your care? The head eunuch bowed and smiled and said, why are you so idle today, why are you here?
Find out the list of tea medicines from Donggong over the years! Pu Bucheng said, the so-called medicines are actually various tonics for stews.
Yes! The eunuch didn't say much. He took a bunch of keys from his waist, opened the east door, pointed to a tall cabinet and said, "It was just put away at the beginning of spring. The list of tea and medicinal soup for the masters of the East Palace."
It's all here!
Pu Bucheng took a few steps forward, and suddenly his heart moved again. What about eleven years after the imperial dynasty?
The eunuch walked to the cabinet and counted eleven layers from top to bottom. This layer!
You go out first! Pu Bucheng waved.
The eunuch retreated and helped close the door.
Pu Bucheng stood in front of the cabinet and thought for a long time before taking action. According to the label on the cabinet, he placed his finger on the receipt list from the Tea and Medicine Storehouse in November of the 11th year of Hongwu.
On November 22nd of the eleventh year of Hongwu, the concubine of the East Palace ordered the female official Zhao to collect white fungus, curtains, snow clams and other items...
Suddenly, Pu Bucheng's hands were shaking a little.
Then, I slowly found the order for tea and soup in the East Palace.
A thick book, slowly opened it.
There was a buzz in his head, and Pu Bucheng couldn't stand steadily, and the book in his hand fell to the ground.
After November 22nd in the eleventh year of Hongwu, the tea list in the East Palace was empty!
Those pages were torn out neatly and deliberately. If he hadn't been dealing with these recorded documents since he entered the palace, ordinary eunuchs wouldn't have been able to tell. Because there are records on every page of each roster and document.
Separate number, in an inconspicuous location.
This archive, the number of November of the eleventh year of Hongwu, does not match up, it is missing!
Cold sweat gradually fell on Pu Bucheng's face, and his heart was even more turbulent.
The eleventh year of Hongwu!
The emperor's grandson was born on November 29, the eleventh year of Hongwu. The crown prince, Chang, passed away on November 30.
He remembered everything about that day very clearly.
Past events came to mind. That day, Mrs. Lu gave soup to the Crown Princess.
