Chapter 005 Interrogation
Concubine Jiang did not frighten Yun Bin and the others for too long. She said, "Yun Bin, do you know which palace this guard is from?"
Yun Bin was so frightened that she didn't even dare to look at the guard. She subconsciously denied it: "I, I don't recognize you..."
Concubine Jiang nodded, the smile in her eyes getting deeper, as if she was satisfied with the answer.
Immediately, she looked at the other people in the palace and continued to ask: "Where are you? Who knows?"
Everyone shook their heads in unison, moving neatly and quickly.
Just kidding, no one wants to be burned by this fire, even if they recognize it, they won't say it.
What's more, the guard was beaten like this... they really couldn't recognize him for a while.
"Your Majesty, you heard everything..." Concubine Jiang straightened up and turned to Emperor Yongning: "They don't recognize this guard, not Concubine Yun, and neither do I or Xiaojiu. Why did the Thirteenth Princess insist that it was Xiaojiu?
Where are the people in the Nine Palaces?"
She slowly walked back to her original position and sat down, with a very confused tone: "I am really curious. This guard is wearing a Kui Niu uniform. He will definitely not show his face before he commits misdeeds. And then he was beaten like this. Could it be that the Thirteenth Princess has a fiery eye?
Can you identify this? Or..."
She looked at Yun Bin and her daughter and said slowly: "Could it be that the Thirteenth Princess is more familiar with the guards of Mingguang Palace than Xiaojiu?"
This sentence was so heartbreaking that Yun Bin and Zheng Ti were so frightened that their bodies shook like chaff.
By this time, of course they knew what Concubine Jiang meant by asking.
Others also reacted: Yes, this doesn't make sense. The guards in the palace all have the same costumes. At first glance, there is not much difference. Why does the Thirteenth Princess insist that these are the guards of Mingguang Palace?
Concubine Jiang was leaning back on the chair, her posture was leisurely, the phoenix hairpin on her head was swaying, and the bright lights in the palace seemed to shine on her face alone, attracting everyone's attention.
She had long been used to it, so she didn't care about everyone's looks, and calmly took a sip of Qiongxiang Dew before saying: "Your Majesty, I know that someone is jealous of Xiao Jiu's ability to leave the palace and open a mansion, so I deliberately resorted to such despicable means.
"
When she said "someone", she looked directly at Yun Bin, and her meaning was self-evident.
"But..." She sneered, with a hint of sarcasm in her words: "Is it possible to do something that a stupid woman in this palace can figure out? Your Majesty, do you think so?"
Emperor Yongning did not speak, and his usually gentle face gradually darkened.
Concubine Jiang was not angry when she saw that Emperor Yongning did not speak. She only said: "Tonight is Xiaojiu's palace opening banquet. I don't want to cause more trouble. That's all. In that case, let's wait for the Yeting Bureau to investigate.
Make it clear!"
As soon as she said this, the palace fell silent: Does the imperial concubine mean to hand over the matter to the Yeting Bureau?
That was the Yeting Bureau, which was a hellish place for people in the harem. No matter what happened, they would lose their skin, let alone... the Yun concubine mother and daughter who obviously had problems.
In the silence of the hall, the sobbing sounds of Yun Bin and her daughter became more obvious. I don't know if it was the light or something else, but their faces were as pale as paper.
After Concubine Jiang finished speaking, she only glanced at Zheng Ji, and then...she ignored Emperor Yongning, and just stood up and walked away holding the silk in her arms.
Emperor Yongning's face was extremely ugly. He took a deep breath and shouted in a deep voice: "Come here, the Yeting Bureau will investigate this matter and ask questions clearly. Then come back to me! As for you... you will be imprisoned in Yeting for now!"
After that, he left in a hurry, and then the words "My beloved concubine, please wait for me" came from outside. Obviously, he was chasing Concubine Jiang.
Everyone in the hall looked at each other, not knowing whether to leave or stay.
Zheng Ji took the brocade handkerchief handed over by Li Xing'en and wiped his fingers slowly, as if he was wiping something dirty. This slow look made people feel more stressed for some reason.
After a while, she stuffed the handkerchief back into Li Xingen's hand and said with a faint smile: "Zheng Ti, if you are tired of living, you can just tell me. I...have never been afraid!"
~~~~~
On this night, the palace was destined to be restless. Not to mention the lights in Yeting Bureau were brightly lit all night long, and the candles in other palaces were put out very late, making it difficult to fall asleep.
Tonight, probably only the people from Fuqing Palace and Mingguang Palace can sleep peacefully.
In fact, Mingguang Palace was not as peaceful and comfortable as others thought. The atmosphere was also condensed, and the maids and maids were all silent.
In the inner hall, Zheng Ji was still dressed as in the Chonghua Palace. In addition to Li Xing'en who was personally serving him, there were four other maids, Yan Lan, Xiu Yun, Liu Yu, and Dan Xing.
At her feet, there was a person who was tightly bound!
This man was also wearing a Kui Niu suit and looked upright, but his mouth was gagged and he was struggling desperately. He looked at Xiuyun with pleading eyes.
This person is very familiar to them. He is Han Wei, the deputy guard of Mingguang Palace. He used to talk and laugh with them. Now... what is going on?
The four maids realized something, and their expressions suddenly became solemn. The other three looked at Xiu Yun involuntarily.
Xiuyun's face turned pale and she couldn't help but trembled: "Your Highness, what... is going on?"
Zheng Ji didn't reply, his eyes lowered, as if he was looking at Han Wei, but he didn't seem to be looking at anything.
Li Xing'en, on the other hand, stepped forward and took off the rag from Han Wei's mouth, and said coldly: "Han Wei, look, what is this?"
In his hand was a handkerchief with a pill on it. The pill was incomplete and had obviously been melted. His tone was extremely disgusting: "This is a pill that was taken out of your mouth. What can you say? Bah."
,dirty stuff!"
Everyone suddenly didn’t know whether he was talking about Han Wei or pills.
"Manager Li, subordinate...I don't know what you are talking about..." Han Wei's face was green and white, his eyes were unruly, and he obviously looked like he had been wronged.
"Han Wei, don't deny it. We have been watching you. Will our old eyes see it wrong, and the guards will see it wrong too? We watched you take out this pill yourself and swallow it.
.”
Han Wei closed his mouth tightly and sweat began to break out on his forehead, but he still forced himself to remain calm.
Before he could think of what to say, Li Xing'en continued: "We have already gone to the Imperial Medical Office to inquire. This pill is for aphrodisiac. I didn't know that Vice-Ling Han was wearing a Kui Niu suit and was taking this pill while he was on duty.
What are you doing? Isn’t this great interest?”
Han Wei was confused. He moved his lips and wanted to say something, but found that no matter what he said, he couldn't make it right.
How to do how to do?
Manager Li and the others have been watching him, so...then they know...
Li Xing'en originally wanted to hear his excuses, but when he saw Zheng Ji looking vaguely impatient, he stopped delaying. He took out a sachet from his arms and threw it at Han Wei: "Han Wei, this is for you
Do you recognize it?"
The moment Han Wei saw the sachet clearly, his face turned pale and he stopped even struggling.
