"Thank you, second brother." Xuanyuan Zhiluo was about to move forward when he suddenly paused. He glanced sideways at the maidservant who was scanning the hall, then smiled at Xuanyuan Zhichen and said, "Second brother, look at this assassin. Something is missing outside the Zhaoxia Palace, and the maid of the Chaoxia Palace..."
Xuanyuan Zhichen naturally heard the implication of Xuanyuan Zhiluo's words, but his face turned cold: "Fourth brother, Ye'er can't live without someone at this moment. I guarantee that these girls will be fine. If anything goes wrong, I will bear all the responsibilities."
Seeing this, Xuanyuan Zhiluo couldn't force himself. Xuanyuan Zhichen's attitude was so tough. He couldn't say that he had an imperial physician here, right? Wasn't this a break with the prince?
Then he glanced at Mu Jieyu, who was sitting sideways on the brocade couch, holding Xuanyuan Chengye gently and telling stories softly, before Xuanyuan Zhiluo stepped out.
The rising sun is rising in the east, and the morning light is like a soft and transparent gauze spread down, spreading over the green fields and rivers, climbing up the mountains and peaks, covering the red walls and green tiles.
The most gorgeous palace in the east of the imperial city is bathed in the sun, making it even more resplendent. The palace maids in a courtyard stand neatly in front of the Zhaoxia Palace. The breeze blows, colorful clothes flutter, and the fragrance floats, making the flowers blooming in the courtyard somewhat eclipsed. .
"Prince, in addition to the second-class palace maids of the Chaoxia Palace, the first class, and the third-class palace maids who serve His Highness Changsun in the palace at the beginning of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, there are 333 palace maids in the East Palace, including servants, here." Internal Affairs of the East Palace. Steward Su Ji held the roster high in both hands and stood bowed in front of the palace gate, in front of Xuanyuan Zhichen on the stone steps.
Xuanyuan Zhichen just looked at it, then withdrew his gaze, caught a glimpse of the roster that Su Ji sent up, and still stood with his hands behind his hands: "Give the roster to King Xin."
Su Ji immediately walked up to Xuanyuan Zhiluo and handed over the roster. Xuanyuan Zhiluo did not reach out to take it, but looked at the palace maids in the courtyard with cold eyes: "I summoned you because of the East Palace. There is an assassin sneaking into your midst."
Xuanyuan Zhiluo paused deliberately as he spoke, and his sharp eyes quickly scanned everyone. He saw that all of the palace maids' faces turned pale, and fear flashed in their eyes, but none of them made a comment or even made a cry. He couldn't help but admire it in his heart. After taking a look at the servants in the East Palace, they turned out to be extraordinary.
Then he spoke again: "In order to ensure the safety of the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Changsun, I have to conduct strict family checks. Someone will read your names in a while. Those whose names are read will come forward and report their names. Age, errands, and roommates.”
After Xuanyuan Zhiluo finished speaking, he winked at Su Ji. Su Ji looked at Xuanyuan Zhichen and when he saw Xuanyuan Zhichen nodded, he stood up straight and shouted loudly.
"Su Xin——"
As soon as he finished speaking, a woman in her late thirties who was standing at the front and dressed in a steward's palace dress stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "I'm Su Xin, I'm here to meet His Highness the Crown Prince. I believe you are in your twenties this year." Seventh, I got a job as a dressmaker and a steward, and lived in the same room as the kitchen steward."
Su Xin said, Xuanyuan Zhiluo looked at the records on Su Ji's roster, nodded, Su Ji waved Su Xin away, and then read the next name.
Mu Jieyu who was in the house was secretly frightened. Fortunately, Xuanyuan Chengye was smart and kept her in the house. According to Xuanyuan Zhiluo's method of asking questions, she would definitely reveal her secrets with just a few clicks.
