Chapter 405: The acquaintance guarding the palace gate
Ever since he was granted the title of Baron of Anping County by the emperor, many people in the Wude Department had taken a good look at Chai Yangao. He usually spoke neither salty nor bland, was sarcastic, and even had little communication with him.
Everyone treated Chai Yan politely.
In the eyes of these people, Chai Yan is a promising person now. One day when the prince ascends the throne and becomes emperor, Chai Yan will have an unlimited future!
On this day, as soon as Chai Yan finished ordering at Li Dachui's place, someone came from the palace. It was Chai Yan who had met Mr. Chen Kuo, Mr. Chen.
After Chen Kuo briefly greeted Li Dachui, he anxiously pulled Chai Yan to a quiet place to talk.
Chai Yan asked curiously: "Eunuch Chen, is it urgent to come to me so early?"
"Isn't that right..." Chen Kuo looked anxious and said, "Mr. Chaixian County, without further ado, you should hurry up and enter the palace with the Za family..."
After saying that, Chen Kuo urged Chai Yan to leave.
But Chai Yan did not move in a hurry, but asked: "Eunuch Chen, can you tell me first what you are doing in the palace?"
Chen Kuo said sternly: "The Queen has decreed that you enter the palace immediately to investigate a murder case!"
"A murder case?" Chai Yan was shocked and asked hurriedly: "Eunuch Chen, what kind of murder case is it?"
Chen Kuo looked around, then lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Mr. Chaixian County, the Queen has told me not to let the Za family talk, so you should hurry into the palace with the Za family. This matter is very important and cannot be delayed."
Chai Yan thought for a while and felt that it was impossible for Chen Kuo to dare to falsely convey Yi's decree. There was probably a case in the palace, so he sent Chen Kuo to find him to track down the murderer.
"In that case, Eunuch Chen, let's go right now." Chai Yan nodded.
"That's great!" Chen Kuo was happy and immediately walked out with Chai Yan.
The carriage carrying Chen Kuo was already waiting outside the door. Chen Kuo diligently lifted the curtain and invited Chai Yan to get in. Although Chai Yan was very reluctant to ride in the same carriage with Chen Kuo, a murder occurred in the palace and he would not hurry up.
This was not possible in the past.
What surprised Chai Yan along the way was that although the fragrance of Chen Kuo's powder in the car was very strong, the unpleasant smell of urine did not appear. Perhaps it was because the fragrance was too strong and it suppressed the smell.
Arriving at the gate of the palace in a car, Chai Yan was just about to follow Chen Kuo in when his eyes were caught by two familiar faces.
"Shishi Di, Shishi Pu, why...why are you here?" Chai Yan said in shock.
Standing in front of the palace gate were Di Chu and Pu Junxiong. However, they were not wearing envoy uniforms, but were wearing Forbidden Army armor. They looked like they were guarding the palace gate.
Di Chu and Pu Junxiong saw Chai Yan at the same time. At this moment, their faces looked very embarrassed, and they wanted to find a place to hide in.
"Envoy Dis... Envoy Pu... when did you transfer here?"
The uglier the faces of Di Pu and the others became, the louder Chai Yan's greeting voice became, which caused several other imperial guards guarding the palace gate to snicker.
Di Chu and Pu Junxiong didn't look good on Chai Yan, but they didn't want to talk to him. No matter what Chai Yan asked, they pretended not to hear, their faces darkened and they said nothing.
Chai Yan said in a strange voice: "Hey! We haven't seen each other for a few days, why can't the two envoys talk? Oh, it's because my throat is uncomfortable... Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, stick to your post even though you are sick.
, dedicated, really dedicated!”
Di Chu finally couldn't bear it anymore and said angrily: "Chai Yan, do you believe that I cut out your tongue?"
"Wow! I'm so scared..." Chai Yan suddenly looked terrified.
Chen Kuo felt nervous, worried that an unnecessary conflict would break out between Di Chu and Chai Yan, so he quickly came to the rescue and said, "Mr. Chai County, the Queen is still waiting..."
Chai Yan twitched the corner of his mouth at Di Chu and said to Chen Kuo: "Eunuch Chen, you are right, we can't keep the Queen waiting in a hurry!"
With that said, Chai Yan walked into the palace gate with Chen Kuo, leaving only Di Chu and Pu Junxiong, who were angry in their hearts, staring angrily behind.
After walking for a while, Chai Yan asked: "Eunuch Chen, why are the two of them here guarding the palace gate?"
Chen Kuo whispered: "Mr. Chaixian County, this is the emperor's wish. The emperor gave them seven days to find out the mastermind behind the assassin. However, after seven days, there was no progress, so the emperor demoted the two envoys.
Come and guard the palace gates for a month..."
Chai Yan knew that they had to give them seven days to find out that the assassin was the prince. Now it seems that the prince did it on purpose. He was trying to vent his anger for Hang Baiqiu!
As he spoke, Chai Yan followed Chen Kuo to the outside of Tai'an Hall. On the terrace outside the side hall, Chai Yan saw the Queen who was leisurely arranging flowers.
When Chai Yanchu saw the Empress arranging flowers in a relaxed manner, he couldn't help but wonder, wasn't there a murder in the palace? How could the Empress still be so leisurely and content?
With doubts in mind, Chai Yan went to the Queen and said hello.
The Empress stopped what she was doing, turned to look at Chai Yan, smiled calmly and said: "Chai County man, you are here..."
Chai Yan said respectfully: "Empress, Chai Yan heard that a murder occurred in the palace, is it important?"
"Hahaha..." The queen laughed after hearing this, then stopped laughing and said: "It doesn't matter in this palace, but it is very important in Funing!"
Chai Yan was stunned, wondering why it was related to the movie about that little girl Funing?
She's not done yet, is she? She really wants to keep me in the palace as a eunuch and perform tricks for her every day?
Then, the queen said: "This is the case for this Chaixian man. A cat died in Funing Palace. She knew that it was the lioness you found, so she pestered me to summon you to the palace to check for her.
Find out who killed the cat..."
At this point, the queen turned to Chen Kuo and asked: "What's going on? Why don't you tell the man from Chaixian County clearly about the matter?"
Chen Kuo immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. This is what Princess Funing told me to do. The princess said that if the matter was not made more serious, the men in Chaixian County might not resist the order."
Come, that’s why this slave can...and..."
"Okay, okay..." The queen waved her hand and said helplessly: "This Funing..."
Chai Yan secretly thought that it turned out to be that little girl Funing's idea, and she actually used such an excuse to call him into the palace.
The Queen looked at Chai Yan and said: "Mr. Chai County, I have heard a lot from the Crown Princess about your matter... Although the death of A Mao and A Gou is a bit insignificant, since you are already here, I will check it out by the way."
Let's check it out, and it will prevent Funing from making trouble in front of me all day long."
"I obey my orders!" Chai Yan bowed and saluted, and answered without any hesitation.
The queen said: "Chen Kuo, get up and take the Chaixian man to Xuanyi Palace."
After saying that, Chen Kuo stood up immediately, while the Queen turned back and continued to focus on the flower arrangement.
