"You don't need to ask too many questions. Knowing too much will not do you any good..." Yue Pei stared at Zhao Guo closely and said, "You only need to send the things to Yongfu Palace..."
Zhao Guo looked at the thing held in the dirty hand. Although he had many doubts in his heart, he couldn't help but be tempted.
Sending something into the palace is not a difficult task for him now.
The Jishiwei is originally a member of the emperor, and often has the opportunity to go in and out of the palace, especially the new commander who values him a little bit...
There is nothing too taboo on this piece of cloth. Even if it is sent to Yongfu Palace through the hands of others, there is no need to worry about anything going wrong.
What's more, that's Concubine Rong!
Who is Concubine Rong?
Two years ago, he might have considered how feasible it was, but now Concubine Rong has been the most favored one in the palace since she gave birth to the little prince!
Because of this, the Rong family’s chickens and dogs ascended to heaven!
Even if the little prince is kidnapped, the court will definitely try to rescue him, especially since there is no other prince in the palace except the prince, and the prince has made it clear that he will not live well for a few days——
Concubine Rong's current status is still there.
Moreover, Empress Wu fled the capital privately, leaving the Sixth Palace without an owner. Everything must be under the control of Concubine Rong...
If I want to send a letter, there shouldn't be any obstacles...
The most important thing is... there are five hundred taels!
Compared with the 200,000 taels he had just heard of Xia Tingzhen's private collection, it was not worth mentioning at all, but compared with the 200,000 taels that were out of reach, these 500 taels were the most practical for him.
Five hundred taels...
I first took it to pay off the gambling debt of one hundred and thirty taels, and spent half a day playing in the casino. Then I went to Zuixiang Pavilion to ask for two pots of good wine, and asked Cuiyan and Zhu Liu to serve them together...
Already figured out how to spend it!
The last trace of reason he had left made him ask doubtfully: "Do you really think that Concubine Rong is willing to rescue you based on this thing alone?"
His incomplete understanding of the situation means that he is not afraid that the letter will not be delivered to Concubine Rong. The only thing he is worried about now is whether this move will not only be useless, but also annoy Concubine Rong, which will cause trouble for him again——
"She dare not not help..." A ferocious smile flashed across Yue Pei's face: "If I wasn't sure, I wouldn't dare ask you to deliver the message, so I would bet this last chance on her!"
These words were like the last push of strength that pushed Zhao Guo, who was swaying, completely.
Anyway, it’s just this piece of rag!
He didn't know anything else. Even if Concubine Rong wanted to silence her, it wouldn't be his turn!
——Under the desire for money, a trace of luck was forced into my mind to convince myself.
His heart suddenly crossed, he took the ball of linen and stuffed it into his arms.
Maybe once the five hundred taels of silver were spent in a gambling house, Zhao Guo would be able to become rich!
…
After he got the things, he was not anxious about what happened next.
It's easy to make mistakes if you're impatient, so just wait for the opportunity.
The time has come soon.
Four days later, Emperor Qingming summoned Wang Tong, the commander of the imperial guards, to enter the palace, and he was able to accompany him.
After reporting everything that had happened recently, the emperor on the sick bed left Wang Tong alone to explain important matters, and the rest of his party withdrew and waited outside the palace.
Zhao Guo left the Yangxin Hall on the pretext of needing to relieve himself.
Although the imperial guards always came and went freely in the confinement, relying on the fact that they only obeyed the emperor's orders, they had the right to ask a few questions about everything, but they were absolutely not allowed to directly enter the harem.
As for secretly trying to sneak into the harem, it is unrealistic and the consequences if discovered would be disastrous.
Therefore, he still needs to borrow the hands of others.
"stop."
In the garden behind Yangxin Hall, Zhao Guo stepped into a vermilion corridor and called out to a young eunuch who was walking past with his head bowed.
When the young eunuch heard the sound, he stopped and looked over. Seeing that he was wearing the green robe of the Baihu Guard, he did not dare to show any slightest hesitation. He quickly stepped forward and saluted, and said timidly: "I wonder if Mr. Baihu has anything to say..."
"Which palace are you from? What are you doing here?" Zhao Guo glanced at the internal prison uniform on his body, which was a sample of the last and last second-class internal prison guards in the palace.
"Back to your lord, I am from Concubine Rong's courtyard. I was asked by Concubine Rong to come to the Yangxin Hall to ask if Your Majesty's dragon body has improved..."
Concubine Rong?
Never heard of it.
But since there is no prince by her side in the palace and she is just a concubine, she is obviously not an important person.
That would be easier to do.
It is normal for concubines and concubines in the harem to send word to each other, and it is not easy to attract attention...
And with the little eunuch's status, he is undoubtedly easy to bribe.
Zhao Guo made up his mind, fearing that he would delay his return and make the commander unhappy, so he did not delay: "... I wonder, little father-in-law, would you like to run an errand for me?"
While talking, a piece of silver was handed to the little eunuch.
The little eunuch's eyes brightened slightly and he whispered: "Just tell me what you have to say..."
Concubine Rong had no sense of presence in the palace, and she was too frugal, so the lives of those below her were very difficult.
Such a piece of silver is something he cannot easily see on ordinary days!
Seeing his expression, Zhao Guo became more and more sure that he had found the right person. After seeing that there was no one around, he took the thing out of his arms and lowered his voice and confessed: "Send this thing to Yongfu Palace... After seeing the thing,
There will definitely be a response from Yongfu Palace, and I will enter the palace again tomorrow afternoon. Then you only need to give me the response from Yongfu Palace, and the benefits will be yours..."
Looking at the soft object that was stuffed into his hand and wrapped in blue cloth along with the silver, the little eunuch was stunned.
where?
Yong... Yongfu Palace?
Yongfu Palace seems to be a little uneasy recently...
Although his master has no sense of existence, his biggest hobby on weekdays is to close the door, eat melon seeds, watch movies and inquire about all kinds of gossip——
Therefore, the people below them were more or less exposed...
The instinct of not wanting to cause trouble told him - forget it on weekdays. It's not a big deal for nameless little people like them to run errands and give something away. Who can't make some extra money? But at such a juncture, this thing can't be given away!
Can……
But this silver feels like old friends at first sight...
He saw him as before, and he expected Yinzi to see him as he was.
It's really hard to bear to push it out like this.
"Have you remembered everything?" Zhao Guo asked.
The little eunuch nodded.
The words are not too complicated, I just wrote them down...
"Remember to act according to the situation and don't let anyone outside Yongfu Palace know about it." Zhao Guo explained again.
The young eunuch nodded again: "I understand..."
I've already taken all the money, but I still have to behave in a way that makes the donor feel at ease.
Zhao Guo didn't know what happened in Yongfu Palace, so he naturally didn't think it was such a difficult task. After explaining the matter, he didn't stay for a long time, asked the name of the young eunuch, and then turned back to Yangxin Palace.
The young eunuch stood there for a while, then turned and left.
But what I was walking on was not the road to Yongfu Palace——
He found one of Li Ji's confidant eunuchs and made a frightened look: "...The master handed the thing to the slave and left. Then the slave opened it and saw that it was bloody! I heard that Concubine Rong Gui was unwell recently.
Sorry, I was afraid of bumping into the imperial concubine, so I didn’t dare to send her off as I was told... Eunuch Zhang, please see how to deal with this..."
This eunuch named Zhang had been favored by their concubine, and he was fairly reliable. After much deliberation, he found him.
He didn't want to take the risk, but he didn't have the courage or determination to refuse on the spot...
Although the name I left behind was nonsense, in order to avoid being blamed later, I had no choice but to explain the situation and seek asylum.
"Is this the Master of the Hundred Households who entered the palace today? How old are you?" The eunuch was slightly shocked when he heard this, but his face showed no emotion.
"About thirty years old, tall and thin, with a mole here, and a thin voice..." The young eunuch described it, and did not forget to say: "That is the master of the police, I really don't dare to respond...
…”
Eunuch Zhang nodded slightly: "I understand this matter. Leave this matter to me. You can go back first. Remember, don't leave Yu Guixuan easily in the past few days, so as not to cause trouble to Concubine Rong."
"Yes!" The young eunuch agreed quickly, thanked him again and again, and left with the money in his pocket - the money he earned for testing dangerously on the edge of a knife!
Eunuch Zhang looked at the two torn pieces of bloody cloth with repeated expressions in his eyes.
Others don't know what happened in Yongfu Palace. He has been following Li Ji all day long, how could they not know it!
But why is he still involved with the Inspector?!
The emperor has been very angry recently over the matter of concubine Rong, and today there is such a new discovery, which may not necessarily be a bad thing...
In any case, let’s report it to Mr. Ji first...
The things were quickly handed over to Li Ji.
Li Ji walked out of the outer hall. The eunuch beside him looked at the people in the corridor and whispered: "Mr. Ji, that person should be..."
Zhao Guo, who had just returned, was standing with several other detectives, as if they had never left.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, he glanced subconsciously.
Seeing that it was Li Ji, the eunuch of the palm seal, he lowered his eyes respectfully.
However, out of the corner of his eye, he saw the other party walking towards him.
Seeing the pair of cloud shoes stopped in front of him, Zhao Guo suddenly felt uneasy.
You can't...
No, it's impossible.
That's not anywhere else, but Yongfu Palace!
Where is Yongfu Palace and who is Concubine Rong?
He comforted himself in his mind to stay calm.
"What's your surname?" Li Ji asked.
Zhao Guo raised his head slightly, and for a moment he met those bright and restrained eyes. He was sure that the other party was asking him, his heart suddenly dropped, and he replied with some anxiety: "Go back to Ji Gong, my surname is Zhao."
"Zhao Baihu." Li Ji nodded slightly, and then said: "Get -"
The two chamberlains immediately stepped forward and detained the person one on the left and the other on the right.
Zhao Guo was shocked.
The incident occurred suddenly, and several security guards around him were also taken aback.
But no one dared to speak out for the time being.
Although they are used to running rampant, this is the palace, and the other party is the eunuch who is under one person's palm. When they meet, their commanders must also call him "Ji Gong"!
At this time, Wang Tonggang walked out of the inner hall.
Most of the others who were promoted to high positions had red faces and high spirits. He was better off, his face was as yellow as wax, but there were some red spots - his eyes were red from the heat.
He used to secretly have conflicts with Han Yanduo, thinking that Han Yanduo was mediocre in ability and not worthy of the responsibility.
But things are different now!
To be able to stay in this position for so long, he respects the other party as a person!
The emperor is so damn difficult!
It's so difficult that he doesn't have any extra thoughts to fight for power now!
Not to mention that His Majesty the Emperor is still very angry even though he is sick, and is always ready to express his anger at others. Just listen to the errands given to him today, how can that be done?
Yesterday, he was ordered to dig out the Purple Star Sect's lair within three days and bring back the leader's head...
He was still thinking at the time - if he was so thoughtful, why not just order him to assassinate Duke Zhen Guo!
That was an example that he believed was impossible, to highlight his helplessness and the emperor's whims...
But today, it came true!
The emperor seriously ordered him to secretly sneak into Linyuan City, rescue the little prince, and kill the Duke of Zhen...
The survival of Daqing seems to have suddenly rested on his shoulders!
At that moment, he suddenly envied Han Yan, who was lying in the coffin.
I have to say that the other party died quite presciently.
Wang Tong felt that this road to high promotion meant that his future was dark, and he was thinking about how to deal with it next. As soon as he stepped out of the palace gate, he saw Zhao Guo being escorted by Li Ji's people.
The situation of going down——
"Mr. Ji...what do you mean?" Wang Tong stepped forward quickly.
"Commander Wang arrived just in time." Li Ji's voice was very calm and he glanced at Zhao Guo: "This Zhao Baihu just secretly bribed a young eunuch to send this object to Yongfu Palace and give it to Concubine Rong.
… Our family is about to take the person down to find out more about the reason for this.”
Only then did Wang Tong see the bloody cloth held by the eunuch beside Li Ji.
——Concubine Rong?!
Although he had just taken over the Imperial Guard not long ago, as a commander, he was more or less aware of the current situation of the imperial concubine...
It is said that he has committed the serious crime of regicide, but he is still being tried in secret...!
This Zhao Guo, what did he send to Yongfu Palace at such a critical moment!
"No... I don't have one!" Zhao Guo shook his head in panic and denied.
"No?" Eunuch Zhang sneered and looked at the other people: "Has this person ever left alone just now?"
The expressions on those people's faces were hesitant to speak, and they secretly looked at Wang Tong.
Wang Tong's face turned cold: "Say!"
A group of idiots were staring at him at this time, and they didn't know what he was planning, but they still thought it was his plan!
One of them hurriedly said: "I said I was going to relieve myself earlier, and I didn't come back until about two quarters of an hour later..."
Wang Tong looked at Zhao Guo sternly.
Zhao Guo was already covered in cold sweat.
How could this be so?!
He just asked someone to quietly deliver something to Yongfu Palace. If you really want to talk about it, this kind of thing is not something unusual in the palace!
What's more, it's Yongfu Palace!
Counting the time, the little eunuch must not have time to send the things over...
But knowing that it was sent to Yongfu Palace, how could Li Ji dare to stop it like this? Normally, he should turn a blind eye... Now isn't he going to openly oppose Yongfu Palace?!
It was precisely because he firmly believed in Concubine Rong's position that no one dared to offend her in the palace that he dared to take over the matter so easily!
At this moment, in this situation, Zhao Guo had vaguely realized that something must be wrong, but obviously it was already too late.
Thinking of the worst possible outcome, his head was buzzing and his vision went dark.
"Bastard!" Wang Tong was furious: "How dare you deny it! Could it be that Guild Ji has wronged you?"
"...It's...it's Yue Pei!" Knowing that it would be useless to refuse to admit it, he might as well confess as soon as possible to still have a chance of survival. Zhao Guo said in a trembling voice: "It's him...it's him who asked me to send this thing to Yongfu Palace.
