Chapter One Hundred and Ninety-Three: Another Secret
Tang Chen sighed. The key now is to make him believe that Xiao Cui's spirit is still there. Tang Chen once again took out the jade pendant given to him by the emperor and said, "Look at this."
The little stool immediately knelt on the ground. Tang Chen breathed a sigh of relief. It was good to know this thing. Before he could say anything, Tang Chen immediately pulled him up and said: "I am the emperor's man, so you should believe what I say.
I tell you her spirit is still there."
Xiao Shizi looked at Tang Chen and said, "So the emperor didn't scatter her spirit at all?"
"No." Tang Chen said, "Now can you tell me what's going on?"
Little Stool nodded and said, "Xiao Cui died unjustly. She was killed by someone."
"Killed by whom?"
The little stool glanced outside, then continued to act crazy and suddenly bumped into the wall. Tang Chen drew something on the ground and said, "Calm down!"
The little stool nodded when he saw the peach blossoms painted on the ground. Then Tang Chen looked at Xiao Tao outside and said, "Xiao Tao, please go back and tell Concubine Zhen about the current situation. I'll see if I can ask you anything else."
"He's already gone crazy like this. What else can you ask?" Xiao Tao turned around and left. After she walked out, Xiao Shizi became a little more normal and said, "She was the one who killed Xiao Cui."
"How do you know?"
Xiao Tzu said: "Xiao Cui has always been a very cheerful person. Ever since she arrived at Concubine Zhen's house, she has been ostracized. It was all because of Xiao Tao. Later, she became depressed and would be beaten by them every day if she did not concentrate on her work.
.Only every night is when she can relax, and when she is with me, I can feel that she is really smiling."
"In this case, why did she die suddenly? Did Xiaotao kill her?"
"Xiaocui committed suicide. I originally wanted to steal some money and take her out to live a better life, but I didn't expect to be discovered. Before I was taken away, she told me that if she died, she would hurt everyone.
Kill everyone who crosses her."
Tang Chen frowned and looked at the stool and said, "Didn't you persuade her?"
"Stealing things in the palace is a serious crime, and I will die soon. I made an appointment with her to die together, but I didn't expect that she would die first because she couldn't bear the pressure."
Tang Chen roughly understood the situation and then asked: "You said before that someone came to ask about your situation? Who came?"
"The Queen Mother's people."
"The Queen Mother!" Tang Chen was shocked, how could this matter be related to the Queen Mother: "Why did the Queen Mother's people come?"
"I don't know either."
At this time, a person suddenly came in from outside and shouted in a loud voice: "I didn't allow anyone to let you in without permission!"
Tang Chen frowned and looked at him and said, "As long as you live well, I will definitely find a way to help you find Xiao Cui's spirit."
"Thanks."
Tang Chen nodded and stood up. He walked out of the prison and saw a bearded man coming in and said, "I want to see who came in with the jade pendant given by the emperor. The emperor only gave one jade pendant to Leyun."
Wang, that must be fake!"
That man happened to have a face-to-face meeting with Tang Chen. When he saw Tang Chen approaching, he stopped Tang Chen and said, "Where is the jade pendant given by the emperor? Take it out and let me see!"
Tang Chen smiled helplessly and said, "Are you worthy?"
"You dare to talk back to me? I think you don't want to live anymore." Just as the man was about to take action, Tang Chen grabbed his arm and threw him to the ground hard: "If you don't want to die, then stop meddling in other people's business.
Otherwise I will kill you!"
When Tang Chen went out, the man stood up and shouted: "Wait for me!" Then he ran over and grabbed the prison head's clothes and shouted: "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and chase him, kill him!"
"But he really has a jade pendant given by the emperor."
"That's false!"
The cell boss chased him out. Tang Chen had to hide his identity now. If he was caught now, things would definitely get bigger. He hid behind a rockery and waited for the cell boss to pass by before he came out and returned to Concubine Zhen. Tang Chen ran in and took Zhen.
The concubine was startled: "What do you want to do in such a panic, my slave?"
"Your Majesty, Tang Chen knows something about the situation in prison, please ask your Majesty to step aside!"
Concubine Zhen looked at the people around her and said, "Let's all go out." After all those people went out, Xiao Tao was still standing there and Tang Chen said, "You also go out."
"I am your queen's personal maid, how can I..."
"Xiao Tao, please go out first..."
"It's the empress." Xiao Tao took a look inside without giving up when she went out. Concubine Zhen looked at Tang Chen and said, "What did you find out?"
"I didn't find anything. I just offended a cell guard in the cell today. If they find this place, I hope the queen can come forward and help me."
"Why should I help you?"
Tang Chen smiled and said: "Because only I can help you solve this matter, do you want to hear that sound every day? I think you haven't had a good sleep in a long time."
Concubine Zhen sighed and said, "Can you really help me solve it?"
"Seriously, I already know something now. Next, I want to see what her next move is and then decide what to do. During this period, I hope that the empress will record the time she hears that sound every day. I will also
We will make some records and compare them every day. If we find that the time of the sound is the same, we can basically confirm that we are hearing the same sound."
"good."
"Your Majesty, some guards are coming outside!" Xiao Tao suddenly shouted from outside. Concubine Zhen looked at Tang Chen and said, "What did you do?"
"I just took a fake jade pendant and pretended that the emperor asked me to come. If I didn't do this, I'm afraid that little stool wouldn't tell the truth."
Concubine Zhen frowned and said, "You are falsely passing on the imperial edict! Do you know how serious this crime is? If I helped you, I would lose my head."
"I don't think your Majesty can."
"Why do you think so?"
Tang Chen said: "In the past few days, I have heard some rumors in the palace that the empress is the most favored person around the emperor. As long as the empress tells them that I am not in this palace, they will definitely leave, and anything that happens after that will be my fault."
If you bear the burden alone, you will never have anything to do with the empress."
Only then did Concubine Zhen stand up and say, "Just stay in this room and don't move around."
"Yes! Concubine Xie Zhen!"
Concubine Zhen walked out and saw the leading man and said, "What do you mean by coming to my place?"
The leader brought more than ten people with him and said: "Ms. Zhen Fei, today you, a maid, took a eunuch to the prison. I am here to arrest the eunuch who falsely conveyed the imperial edict. Please also ask M. Zhen Fei to hand him over."
