Volume 4: The Case of Dust in the Mirror Chapter 116: The Joyful Mingde Palace
"This well?" Duan Ming walked around the well, frowning slightly.
"Commander Song and Commander Xing paid special attention to this place before and sent people to search, but they did not find the secret passage or the body of Concubine Shu," Yu Chen said.
"That's it." Duan Ming nodded.
Then Duan Ming thought for a while, asked for a palace maid's silk scarf, tore off a corner, and threw it into the well.
"Mr. Duan, what are you..." Yu Chen looked at Duan Ming doubtfully.
"Nine times out of ten, any well is filled with living water." Duan Ming said, "I would like to ask the commander to arrange it and inform the people in the city that anyone who finds the silk scarf just now in the well can come to Jing'an Prince's Mansion to report to the county.
The Lord asks for a reward. A reward, three gold."
"Three gold?" Yu Chen raised his eyebrows: "Is this too high?"
"It's not high. There must be a brave man under the heavy reward. Only in this way can we find the direction of the well in the shortest time." Duan Ming said.
"Okay." Yu Chen nodded, then left here and went straight to the Imperial City Division's headquarters.
"Deacon Liu." Duan Ming looked at Deacon Liu: "Please take me to the palace of Concubine Shu."
"Oh, okay." Deacon Liu nodded.
Although he still didn't believe that Duan Ming could solve the strange case at this moment, judging from Yu Chen's performance just now, Duan Ming did seem to have some special abilities.
Since there is a glimmer of hope, there is no need for Deacon Liu to give up.
Passing through a door in the backyard, the palace has entered Duan Ming's eyes.
The furnishings in the palace are also very simple, there are no expensive porcelain and jewelry, only potted plants in full bloom, adding a touch of greenery to the palace.
"The empress doesn't like a luxurious life very much. She keeps everything simple." Deacon Liu showed a nostalgic look in his eyes: "She is very kind to each of us and never scolds us..."
"Yeah." Duan Ming checked carefully while listening to Deacon Liu's words.
Li Waner was also searching at the side. When she went to the palace on weekdays, most of the time she was at the Empress's place. She really knew very little about Concubine Shu.
"It is indeed very simple." Duan Ming quickly looked around and looked under the bed board, and found nothing unusual: "Do you have any hobbies in your daily life?"
"I don't really like many things." Deacon Liu shook his head: "I just grow flowers and plants and read books."
"Reading?" Duan Ming looked around: "But why don't I see a bookshelf here?"
"Oh, your Majesty has a lot of books, and they are all placed in the room next door." Deacon Liu said.
"Then take me to see it." Duan Ming nodded.
When we came to the wing next door, just as Deacon Liu said, it was filled with all kinds of books, poems, songs, and legends.
"How is it? Mr. Duan?" Li Waner came to Duan Ming's side and asked softly.
"No wonder neither Song Rengui nor Xing Qianqiu are helpless." Duan Ming exhaled a long breath: "There is indeed no clue."
"Go and see the other three empresses?" Li Waner said solemnly.
"Okay." Duan Ming nodded.
Soon, Duan Ming and others arrived at Mingde Palace, which was the palace where Concubine Ming lived.
However, unlike Shuning Palace, Mingde Palace was extremely lively at the moment, with figures going back and forth, pushing red cars, which were piled with things.
"Here, what are you doing?" Duan Ming and Li Waner looked at each other, their eyes full of curiosity.
"Which palace are you from? What are you doing here?" At this time, a childish voice came from behind the two of them.
Duan Ming and Li Waner looked back and saw a doll that looked like it was carved from porcelain. It had big eyes open and asked with its hands on its waist.
"You ask who we are, and who are you?" Li Waner looked at the little girl, feeling indescribable fondness in her heart, and replied with a smile.
"Me? I am the first general under Concubine Ming!" The little girl patted her chest: "I am responsible for defending Concubine Ming's territory! Who are you!"
"General?" Duan Ming and Li Waner looked at each other, and Duan Ming said with a smile: "I am Duan Ming, who is now in charge of the blood sedan case in the capital. This is Li Waner, the princess of Princess Mingzhu, who is here to help me. I don't know the name of the general.
?”
"Imperial City Blood Sedan Case? Are you here to help us find our empress?" The little girl's face suddenly became very happy: "Great, great, my name is Qing'er, please come in quickly."
Saying that, Qing'er quickly ran towards Mingde Palace, shouting as she ran: "Everyone, come quickly, someone is here to find the empress for us."
"The Shuning Palace is as quiet as a pool of stagnant water, but the Mingde Palace is... lively." Duan Ming's mouth twitched slightly.
"I have met Concubine Ming several times in the past, and she is indeed a cheerful person." Li Waner said, "I never thought that all the people in Mingde Palace would be like this."
"Come in quickly, everyone is waiting for you." At this moment, Qing'er ran out again, holding Duan Ming with one hand and Li Waner with the other, and walked into the Mingde Palace.
After Duan Ming entered the Mingde Palace, they saw dozens of people standing in the main hall, but those little eyes that were wandering around didn't look like they were there.
Live peacefully.
"Two adults, everyone in Mingde Palace is here. Look at what you want to ask. Just ask." Qing'er said: "If they don't tell the truth, tell me and I will spank them."
!”
"Okay, then it's up to General Qing'er to do the hard work." Duan Ming said with a smile.
I have to say that the situation in Mingde Palace makes people feel very comfortable, and Duan Ming likes it here very much.
"Well, the first question." Duan Ming looked at Qing'er: "Um, isn't Concubine Ming missing? What are you doing here and there?"
"Build a house!" Qing'er said matter-of-factly: "Sister Ming Fei disappeared, but we thought she would come back sooner or later. So, I thought, I would give sister Ming Fei a surprise then."
"Sister? Surprise?" Duan Ming looked at Qing'er doubtfully.
"Well, Sister Mingfei won't let us call her Empress, saying that calling her too old would make us call her sister," Qing'er replied.
"What's the surprise?" Li Waner asked doubtfully.
"Hehe." Upon hearing this, Qing'er shrank her neck slightly and smiled: "We want to renovate sister Mingfei's house. She will definitely like it when she comes back, so we went to Tiangongfang
I asked for some materials and came back."
"Are those red carts filled with materials? Where did those carts come from?" Duan Ming asked doubtfully.
"It's made by Tiangongfang. Tiangongfang is amazing. They can make all kinds of weird things. This car was researched by them. It's very practical." Qing'er said proudly: "I'm not afraid to tell you, our concubine Ming
My sister is also the teacher of many workers in Tiangongfang!"
