Chapter 41 Unlucky Sheng Yu

"Sir, what do you think we are doing?"

A young Jinyiwei wearing a flying fish suit and an embroidered spring knife put on a mask over the stiff and blue body on the ground, and began to undress the body for autopsy as if resigned to his fate.

Si Chengtan crossed his arms and crossed his chest. Although there was no obvious displeasure on his face, the obviously impatient movements on his body betrayed his mood:

"The imperial concubine is a saint and has a graceful appearance. Since she asked for grace from the saint, she allowed us to help with the autopsy. All you have to do is do it. Anyway, it is just for the sake of the emperor."

The young Jin Yiwei was still chattering:

"I've seen a lot of living people dripping with blood, but this is the first time I've seen such a dead head with intact appearance..."

"Okay, stop being so nagging, just do whatever I ask you to do." Sicheng Tan said with a straight face.

Another Jin Yiwei hurriedly tried to smooth things over:

"Sir, it's not that we didn't do our job diligently, but the best work in the capital has been tested, and it is true that he died of suffocation caused by an accident.

If we, the Jin Yiwei, still come up with this rhetoric, won’t we get the reputation of being ‘incompetent’ if the imperial concubine and the empress blow her pillow?”

Si Chengtan glanced at his subordinate sideways and pointedly:

"Since the imperial concubine wants something different, I can just give it to him. For example, if Mr. Qianerlong eats something, I will give her whatever I can;

As for whether the information is suspicious and whether it is useful, that is not our business.

After all, we are working for the emperor, so just keep this in mind."

"Yes, sir! With your words, the low-level officials will naturally feel relieved!"

***

Sheng Yusheng finally recovered from his injured leg, and learned gossip about the official's promotion from his in-laws, Du Shengping, the Qing of Dali Temple, which finally eased the haze caused by his wife's frequent fainting spells.

Sons and nephews will all be promoted if nothing unexpected happens, and then their Sheng family will regain the glory of their ancestors...

Just as Ye Gang happily poured a glass of wine, suddenly there was a commotion in the front hall and the ear-piercing screams of the old wife.

When Sheng Yusheng heard this voice, he subconsciously felt upset. He put on his robe and shoes, and opened the door with an unhappy expression:

"What's the fuss about? Are you acting like a girl?"

When he saw the scene in the courtyard, he stayed silent for a long time without saying anything.

His old wife, without any trace of the manners of a well-known lady, personally grabbed a father-in-law's fly whisk. Her face turned red, and she was obviously very angry about the fact that her home was broken into.

The father-in-law was closely guarding a woman who was tightly covered by a cloak.

Even though the cloak was held low, the woman's face was in shadow, but the large flowers on the skirt and the shining armor that flashed out from time to time all revealed that the person who came was of high status - the royal family of the palace.

Surrounding the woman are four fierce-looking guards armed with swords.

Although the distance between men and women is maintained, if anyone dares to approach the woman easily, the guards will not hesitate to attack them.

And such a solemn battle became particularly funny because his wife was dragging the whisk in an imageless manner and could not get rid of it, and there were a lot of servants and maids following behind her.

"Who are you! How dare you break into the official residence of the imperial court?

My wife is telling you that the servants will be here soon, and they will fix you up and throw you into the street..."

Sheng Yu's voice made me nervous. Could this seemingly low-key but actually ostentatious appearance be an ordinary person?

Even if it is an ordinary person, how can it be better for her destined wife to do this?

Just as he was about to scold Madam for letting go, the woman in a cloak began to speak coldly: "Where is Sheng Yu?"

Sheng Yusheng frowned and was about to open his mouth to say something. Suddenly, the leading guard's saber came out of his body slightly with some intention.

A complex "Long" character in golden seal script suddenly appeared, like a mottled vine clinging to a dead tree.

Thunders rumbled in the sky at this moment, as if it was a sign of heavy rain.

Sheng Yusheng felt terrified. The Long family's bodyguard also brought his father-in-law with him, so this woman could only be...

Regardless of his leg injury, Sheng Yusheng knelt down with a thud and walked to the woman's side:

"I didn't know that the imperial concubine is here at starry night. Please forgive me!"

Mrs. Sheng, whom the father-in-law had just been unable to get rid of, was like a candy that had lost its elasticity and toughness. She was mercilessly spat out on the soles of her feet, completely admitting defeat.

She was so frightened that she dared not speak. She knelt at Sheng Yusheng's feet and kowtowed to the ground.

Naturally, Concubine Long would not look at Mrs. Sheng who looked like a shrew, so she asked a second time in an increasingly unhappy mood:

"Where's Sheng Yu!" This time his anger was obviously much greater.

Sheng Yusheng did not dare to delay and hurriedly asked someone to call. While kneeling, he kept thinking about the reason why Concubine Long concealed her identity and came to visit...

The rare heavy rain in autumn came down hard, causing pain and chilling to the bones. Sheng Yusheng's injured leg was shaking even more, fearing that it might be the root cause of the disease.

Sheng Yu arrived late, and because the person who called him didn't explain clearly, Sheng Yu's wife Du Ruolan just thought it was some reward from the palace, and she also dressed up and followed closely behind.

When Sheng Yu could only see the figures standing on the corridor and her uncle and aunt kneeling in the rain in the distance, she was held down by the guards who suddenly arrived, dragged forward, and knelt down in front of the imperial concubine.

"What are you doing!" Sheng Yu was shocked and frightened. She struggled subconsciously but was pushed down even lower by her knees.

"Is there something going on between you and Wan Zong?"

Concubine Long was so angry that she hoarse and pointed her sharp nails directly at the tip of Sheng Yu's nose.

Even in the rain, Sheng Yu's earlobes, which were as red as blood, were clearly visible. Being told about her absurd private life in front of everyone was no better than being stripped of her clothes.

Sheng Yu also quickly understood who the leader was. Who in the world would be so arrogant and call Long Wan Zong Wan Zong?

"My dear concubine, please spare my life! Mr. Long's death really has nothing to do with me!"

Sheng Yu explained loudly under the background of thunder and lightning.

Concubine Long's eyes were filled with overwhelming hatred, and she looked at Sheng Yu as if she were looking at a dead thing.

One of the guards came forward and treated him like trash. He cut open his clothes with a knife, grabbed his jaw with a pair of jaws, and looked at everything from his face to his neck to his lower body quickly and carefully.

Then he turned around and nodded to Concubine Long.

The imperial concubine laughed angrily, raised her hand and patted the chair that was moved for her to sit on.

"Okay, it turns out that Wan Zong was really harmed by you. Then I will help you -"
