Chapter 548: Leave a letter
Chapter 548
"Lost?"
In the Hall of Nourishing the Heart, the emperor looked at the managing **** who was kneeling there, and sneered: "A little **** can't stand it, you are really more capable than the other!"
The **** in charge complained endlessly in his heart.
Who could have expected that little thing would run?
At first, didn’t even your Majesty think that the other party was going to secretly meet someone and do something?
"..." Li Ji, who felt connoted, said softly: "Your Majesty calms down... Now that the exits in the palace are strictly guarded, I'm not afraid that he can escape. As long as people are in the palace, they will be able to find them. Got to come back."
The **** in charge immediately answered: "Yes, your majesty, rest assured, Nuding will take the people back as soon as possible and hand them to your majesty for disposal!"
Emperor Qingming swept at him coldly: "If this is the case, don't let me go!"
"Yes, yes, the slave retire..." The **** in charge exited the inner hall and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.
"Your Majesty, but please rest assured, whether this little **** was still young, or hid in order to avoid temporary punishment, or..." Li Ji said here, after a slight pause, he said again: "Dan Ren It is impossible to escape from the palace."
Joe Bing is destined to never happen again.
In the final analysis, it was just a little eunuch.
is just under the title "I made a mistake to evade punishment and therefore disappeared." I painted a portrait and gave it to various places.
After searching for the assassin a few days ago, ‘by the way’ he searched everywhere.
I don’t know if it’s too good to hide, so after seven or eight days, he couldn’t find clues about his whereabouts.
On this day, the Yulin army guarding the Yukun Palace was withdrawn.
It doesn’t matter if you keep guarding for a few days, it can indeed be interpreted as being for the Queen’s safety, and if you keep guarding like this for ten and a half days, especially since the palace has never seen an assassin again—it’s just It's easy to speculate.
At least for now, the emperor has no plans to confront Wu's family face-to-face.
After the Yulin army withdrew, the palace people in Yukun Palace even felt that the palace hall had become much brighter. These days, as soon as you look up, you can see a group of people with knives on their waists brushing the ground and standing there expressionlessly, as if to cover all the sunlight.
Compared with the people in these palaces, the Queen’s mood is not at all lightened--
Until Mother Jiang came back from the outside.
"How? Is there any news from Xiao Chenzi?" the queen asked in a low voice.
I haven’t seen Chenzi since I was young, and it’s been eight full days today.
In the past eight days, she has had a lot of speculations, such as whether Xiao Chenzi secretly hid, or whether he was caught by the emperor and imprisoned, and only said that he was gone to the outside world?
But if you think about it a little more rationally, I think the latter may be extremely small——
Xiao Chenzi is just a little eunuch. Even if the emperor wants to be arrested and interrogated under suspicion, he doesn’t have to bother to act like this. If a little **** is “lost” and then “lost”, why is it worth the emperor to have so many people find this? A few days?
If the emperor deliberately wanted to use the news of Xiaochenzi’s disappearance to lead her to expose her flaws, then it would be even more inconsistent—as a rule of thumb, is there any possibility that she would show herself for a small eunuch? The more so, she is afraid that she will be more cautious.
Because all these speculations couldn't convince her, and there was no progress recently, she became more worried.
Xiaochenzi has gradually gained a special meaning to her.
She has been immersed in this muddy pool of water in the palace for these years, and what she has seen around her is mostly muddy. Suddenly there is such a pure child by her side, trusting her wholeheartedly and grateful for her——
In fact, since Xiaochenzi entered the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart, she has regretted it a bit.
She said that she wanted to send people out of the palace, but she didn’t just talk about it.
From the bottom of her heart, she felt that this child shouldn’t stay in this place all the time. She wanted to send him out. On the one hand, she couldn’t bear it seriously, and on the other hand, it was as if she wanted to send out the ray of light in her heart for her. To find a trace of relief.
"Niang Niang..." Mother Jiang is a rare one who hesitated to talk.
The queen's eyes changed slightly: "But is there news?"
"Yes..." Mother Jiang whispered, "I found..."
found it!
The queen did not dare to relax: "Where is it now? Could it have been taken back to Yangxin Temple for disposal?"
"Hui Niangniang, she was found in the lotus pond behind Shuchunyuan..." Mother Jiang tried her best to lower her voice.
The weight of this sentence in the Queen’s ears has not been reduced in the slightest.
"...Lotus pond?" The queen's expression was a little startled: "Why is it there?"
Shuchunyuan is next to the Qingyang Palace where the concubine Chen lived. After the concubine left, the Qingyang Palace was empty. Shuchunyuan hanged a Zhaoyi two years earlier, and there have been some strange things since then. , Some people say it's haunted——
One come and two, and gradually few people set foot in that area.
"The lotus pond has been left unattended for a long time. Now that it has thanked the flowers, the lotus leaves have not yet withered. The ponds are filled one by one... People are floating in the lotus leaves, half-covered and inconspicuous, so I was only found by chance until today..." Madam Jiang simplified the news that she had received. It is said that the palace man discovered the body after smelling the smell of the corpse.
She accidentally said, but the queen immediately asked: "Can someone go and check the body? Really...is it Xiao Chenzi?"
"Our people are naturally inconvenient to approach, but the maidservant asked people to inquire carefully... It is said that it was soaked for too long, and the hot weather in recent days has made people look bad... The body floated to the corner of the lotus pond without knowing it. Was it something in the water or wild cats and wild dogs chewing away some of the skin..."
Grandma Jiang said in a low voice, "But she has been identified by the little **** who is familiar with Xiao Chenzi, and it is indeed Xiao Chenzi...the things on her body and the waistband are still there."
"Since it is said that it is not what it is, Xu is that the little **** was scared and did not dare to take a closer look? What can a dead thing like a waistband prove?" The queen still didn't believe it, or said she didn't believe it.
"Niang Niang, the emperor has already concluded that he committed suicide in order to avoid punishment, and has stopped searching everywhere..."
The queen frowned, her thoughts intertwined: "In the eyes of the emperor, such a little **** is not worthy of someone so bothering to cheat on the corpse. Now that Xiaochenzi has been suspected, he continues to remain useless. Feign death is cleaner... For him, such a little **** died before he died, and it is possible that he did not ask people to examine the body again and again..."
Then he said: "And this child is always clever, and he is cautious and cherish his life, even if he is suspected by the emperor, how could he just sneak into the river like this? No, according to the main palace, this is not like Xiao Chenzi can do. What came out..."
Grandma Jiang sighed at the bottom of her heart.
Niangniang, do you not believe that Xiaochenzi is really dead?
But... in this palace, besides the empress, who else would help Xiaochenzi ‘fake death’?
Where did you find the body as a substitute?
This is not a simple matter. No matter how clever the Xiaochenzi is, it is impossible for a single person to do this, not to mention avoiding this seven or eight days of searching.
Niangniang’s thoughts seem reasonable at first, but after a little thought, you will realize that they are simply unrealistic...
Just as Mother Jiang was trying to say something, a court lady came from the outer hall and called out through the screen: "Manny--"
"Come in." When she heard her own voice, Mother Jiang turned her head.
The lady of the court walked in, saluted, and whispered softly: "This is a letter from Xiaochenzi, please read it."
The queen's eyes shone slightly—Xiao Chenzi managed to send the letter? She knew this was not a kid who could do stupid things!
However, when her eyes fell on the folded letter paper held in the hands of the maid, her eyes suddenly froze.
The letter paper is stained with dirt that cannot be wiped clean, and there are traces of slightly wrinkled after being wet. Obviously it is not what was written recently...
"When the maid came back from the Shoukang Palace, I used to go to the rockery where I exchanged letters with Xiao Chenzi on weekdays and then checked it. I saw this letter under the stone." The news that the accident had happened, only said: "I think it should have been there for a while."
Looking at the wet marks on the letter, it was caused by the rain about three days ago.
Recently, there was an incident of an ‘Assassin’ in the palace, and they hadn’t gone out to walk around either. If the Empress had not sent her to send the Buddhist scriptures to the Queen’s Palace today, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to find this letter.
The queen took the letter.
If Xiaochenzi had other plans when he was real or fake, then this letter must be used to inform her of this plan, and vice versa...
The letter paper was unfolded, and it was not good-looking and even some crooked writing appeared in front of my eyes.
Internal supervisors like Xiaochenzi have no chance to learn Chinese characters at all, so that they can better convey the news to her. They have only secretly learned some in recent years.
He has a good understanding and learns quickly. Although he does not have a serious gentleman, he sometimes has typos and occasional words that do not express the meaning, but it is still enough for people to understand.
For example, what is written on this piece of paper is full. Although the expression is biased towards the vernacular, the meaning is already very clear...
He said in the letter--
Niangniang, the slave knew that Xiaojiezi had been in an accident, and the emperor did not ask anyone to interrogate me, probably because she deliberately wanted to use me to elicit the truth. In the past two days, the slave always felt that she was being stared at from time to time.
But the empress rest assured that when Xiaojiezi was used to do this, the slave had already anticipated it, so it was not entirely unprepared. That night, I implicitly revealed to Xiaojiezi that this was Xia Shoufu's account. If the slave was right, Xiao Jiezi must have admitted that he was instigated by Xia Shoufu, and before the slave left, he would try to settle the matter again.
That night when the emperor met Doctor Qiao secretly, Xia Shoufu was there, so the slave had this choice, and Xia Shoufu was the biggest adviser next to the emperor. If he renounced with the emperor, he wanted to be beneficial to the empress.
If you discuss this matter with the empress, the empress will not agree, and the slave can only make suggestions. The slave does not know much, and she can't think of a better way. Please don't blame the empress.
The slave just wants to make the empress safe, there are many dangers in the deep palace, and the empress is the person who has to do great things. She must take care and take care.
By the way, the slave secretly agreed with Tianfu, and when he is reborn in the next life, he will come to the empress to repay his gratitude. Don't worry, Empress, Tianfu will definitely recognize me.
……
The queen held the letter paper, her eyes were full of tears.
I see……
It turns out that Xiaochenzi was trying to leave her out!
She said, how could this kid do stupid things so easily!
She just said something casually and solved a problem for him. She couldn't even call it a real life-saving kindness... It's just such a sentence, how can he even tell him his own life? Don't let it go?
How old is he?
is only fourteen years old.
He doesn’t even know what she is going to do. What is a major event? After all, she was only doing it for her own personal affairs. How could it be worth this child to fight a living life for her like this?
The queen took the letter paper and sat back in the comb-back chair behind her in a daze.
Madam Jiang also glanced at the letter written in the letter. At this time, she knew what she had written, and she only raised her hand to signal that the court lady should withdraw first, leaving the queen to cleanse for a while.
Until the outside room has prepared lunch, there is a maid urging to please.
If the queen hadn’t heard of it, Mother Jiang said on the side: “Niang Niang, it’s time for lunch.”
"Let's just let it go...I want to sit here for a while." The queen's voice was very soft and slightly dumb.
Regarding Xiao Chenzi, Mother Jiang didn’t have to bear it, but her duty is to remind the empress not to relax: "The body of Xiao Chenzi has just been found today. Although the emperor may not notice the empress, she is not afraid. Ten thousand is still scared in case, if the mother doesn't even use the prepared lunch, she is afraid it will look strange... Isn't this just a waste of Xiaochenzi's efforts?"
The queen heard her eyes reddening by two points, and she looked down at the letter paper in her hand.
Mother Jiang whispered again: "This is Xiaochenzi's choice. The maidservant believes that when people do what they really want to do, they will have peace in their hearts when they leave... The old man often said that if people leave their hearts peacefully in their hearts. And if you have peace and kindness, you will be able to vote for a peaceful and good family in the next life."
"Really?" The queen's voice was low.
Grandma Jiang nodded: "Definitely."
Although she has compiled this sentence now, the old man often said that the old man in this is just herself.
But she believes that Xiaochenzi will be blessed in the next life.
And she rarely sees the empress look like this, but this also proves that her girl has always been her girl, and a heart is still alive without becoming numb.
"Eat less, mother..." Mother Jiang stepped forward and lifted one of the queen's arms.
The queen stood up, folded the letter paper neatly, and put it in the secret box with her hands.
On the other side, the leader of Jishiwei, Han Yan, has just left the Hall of Yangxin.
The emperor summoned him into the palace and ordered him to keep an eye on the actions of Xia Shoufu and the people around him, and strictly investigate all people and things related to Xia Shoufu, and there must be no mistakes——
Such a large area, I am afraid that there will be disturbances above the court...
But the reason is not what he should be concerned about.
After Han Yan left, Emperor Qingming got up from the Luohan bed and said, "Go to Yukun Palace."
Zhen Guogong will enter Beijing in at most three days.
There is something that has already been planned, and the queen’s help is needed...
