The two men pulled the swill cart out of the palace gate.
"Stop." The soldiers guarding the palace gate stopped them.
Before the soldier could speak, another soldier next to him said, "You are really new here, and you will stop anyone. That one is called Old Liu Tou, and he is his son. They are the father and son who handle the swill in the palace."
Okay, if you have anything to interrogate, I’ll see you every day.”
The new soldier released his arms and let the two men go.
The two men took the swill and did not go to the place where the swill was disposed of. Instead, they came to the corner gate of Dali Temple.
Xiao Liu knocked on the door.
The door opened from the inside, and a thin young man looked at him.
"The matters arranged by the adults have been taken care of."
"Okay, leave the person behind." The thin young man threw out a purse.
Xiao Liu caught it, turned around and dragged out the eunuch from the swill bucket with Old Liu.
Half an hour later, a eunuch covered in blood summoned the information, and the contents were recorded and presented to Lu Yi's desk.
Lu Yi read the contents of the book and said, "So, in order to take revenge on the Queen Mother, Princess Yang in the harem deliberately sent people to set fire to the small Buddhist hall. Madam, is she implicated?"
"That's how the eunuch was recruited." Jia Chengping said, "Do you still have any doubts, sir? Do you think that man didn't tell the truth? Then I will send someone to interrogate him."
Lu Zhiqian came in from outside and said, "Sir, that eunuch committed suicide."
"How did you commit suicide?" Jia Chengping asked.
"He was too weak to withstand the punishment, so he was beaten to death." Lu Zhiqian said, "My subordinates checked and found no signs of suicide. The executioners also acted according to usual rules."
"Check this Mrs. Yang."
"There is no need to check this, I know it." Jia Chengping said, "When Tai Fei Yang was young, she was a mortal enemy of the Queen Mother. At that time, she was favored and gave birth to two sons and a daughter. But one day, both her son and daughter died.
In a fire, no one survived. The eunuch said that it was Mrs. Yang who ordered him to do it. He must not have lied. Mrs. Yang always thought that the Queen Mother had murdered her children and wanted to use the same method to make the Queen Mother die. This was her fault.
Things that can be done.”
"The fight in the harem has nothing to do with us, but they involve my wife, so it has nothing to do with it." Lu Yi said, "I will go and verify it myself."
That night, Lu Yi talked about the grievances between Concubine Yang and the Queen Mother, and also revealed the clues he had found.
"The Princess Yang you are talking about..." Mu Siyu snuggled into Lu Yi's arms, "I have never seen her. However, if she really hates the Queen Mother so much, why did she wait until now? After so many years, she should have many opportunities.
Let’s attack the Queen Mother! If she didn’t have a chance before, why does she have a chance now? I think this matter doesn’t make sense and is unreasonable.”
"This is what I find strange. Why didn't she have a chance before, but she had a chance after you entered the palace? Everything was just the eunuch's side of the story, but the eunuch is dead and there is no evidence." Lu Yi touched her.
Hair, "I shouldn't worry about these things, I will take care of them, just do the things well and get out."
Lu Yi didn't want Mu Siyu to take risks and wanted her to get out as soon as possible, but could she really get out if she wanted to?
In the desolate side hall, several corpses were dug out from a place that was once overgrown with weeds.
The eunuchs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were so frightened that they trembled.
This is a royal palace. It is not scary to eat people without spitting out their bones. It is not terrible to dig up a few corpses. However, those things should not be exposed openly. The more you know here, the faster you will die.
"Madam, what should we do now?" Tang Fu said.
"Instruct the people who collected the corpses to take them out and bury them!" Mu Siyu said, "We are only building a small Buddhist hall for the Queen Mother. We don't know anything else."
"Is this enough?"
"Of course. This matter has nothing to do with us in the first place." Mu Siyu waved her hand, "Xiao'e, take Chanyi to handle this matter!"
The Queen Mother's bedroom. The Queen Mother leaned there lazily, while two palace maids squeezed her shoulders and beat her legs.
"Mrs. Lu, what happened just now?"
Mu Siyu raised her head and looked at the Queen Mother: "Back to the Queen Mother, the construction of the small Buddhist hall is progressing very smoothly. The palace officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs are cooperating very well. It is estimated that it will be completed within two months."
It was originally said that it would take ten days and a half, but now Party A's requirements have changed, and so has the progress of her project.
"Mrs. Lu is indeed a smart person, and it is interesting to talk to smart people." The Queen Mother said, "I have some new requirements for the small Buddhist hall. Mrs. Lu can help me achieve it by the way!"
When coming out of the Queen Mother's palace, Mu Siyu touched her belly.
Cold sweat broke out on her back.
That Queen Mother is really...
Cruel and ruthless.
She wanted to install a mechanism in the small Buddhist hall, preferably one that would kill people invisible and leave people dead without a burial place.
If she really helps her, I'm afraid she will be the next to die. After all, the method of cracking the organization cannot be known to outsiders. But if she doesn't help her, the Queen Mother will not let her off lightly.
She had to think of a foolproof strategy, and while helping her complete this matter, she had to make the method of cracking the mechanism known only to her.
"How dare you not be polite when you see the emperor." A sharp voice sounded.
Mu Siyu came back from her thoughts and looked up. She had arrived at the Royal Garden without knowing it, and sitting on the dragon chariot opposite was an old man with white hair and a young woman.
She knelt down and saluted.
"Your Majesty..." a soft voice sounded, "I am unfamiliar with this sister. I have never seen her before. I wonder which palace she is from?"
The dragon chariot stopped, and the old emperor looked at Mu Siyu with cloudy eyes, his gaze resting on her neck.
Mu Siyu has a very beautiful neck, which is the legendary swan neck. She kneels there like this, and the whole line is particularly graceful.
"You raise your head," the old emperor said.
Mu Siyu: "..."
She suddenly felt like vomiting.
Although he knew that his beauty could not be said to be the most beautiful thing in a country, he was still worried that the old emperor would suddenly go crazy, so he bulged his eyes slightly when he raised his head, making his face look strange.
"It's so ugly." The old emperor said with disgust, "Let's go, I want to see Zhang Meiren."
The young woman clinging to the emperor's side said coquettishly: "The slave family knows that the emperor only has sister Zhang in his heart. Where is the slave family?"
After the dragon chariot walked away, Mu Siyu strode away from here. But she didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that someone was staring at her. She looked in the direction of her gaze and saw the young woman slowly turning her head.
action.
That young woman always felt familiar, but she couldn't remember it.
"Madam, are you okay?" Chanyi and Shang Zhi came over.
"It's okay." Mu Siyu said, "As long as we don't meddle in our own business, the Queen Mother will not make things difficult for us."
