Chapter 332
"So I have to rely on my wife." Lu Heng laughed, "I will trouble my wife to say good things for me tomorrow, and don't let the girls hate me."
Reaching out his hand not to hit the smiling man, Wang Yanqing was embarrassed to have a cold face when he smiled like this. Wang Yanqing gave him a hard look, turned around, and sat on the other side.
Happy times don't always last long, Lu Heng ordered a detour, but Wang Zhai still arrived. Lu Heng escorted Wang Yanqing into the door, and after closing the door, his subordinate asked, "Sir, do you want to take a car?"
"No, take the horse." Lu Heng sent Wang Yanqing back, but he had to go back to the palace himself, so the horse would be faster. Lu Heng mounted his horse neatly, and he was thoughtful as he held the reins.
It seems that next time, the carriage can go faster and he analyzes the case longer. In this way, Wang Yanqing will let him in before he finishes talking when he gets home.
·
Tianming, this time entering the palace, Wang Yanqing does not have to go to the palace maid's office in the imperial city, and walks with Lu Heng all the way. Lu Heng had already said hello yesterday, and he was still protected by Jin Yiwei and accompanied by the eunuch of Xichang, sending Wang Yanqing to the palaces of Concubine Wang Gui, Concubine Du Kang and Concubine Lu Jing to find the murderer. According to what they said yesterday, they will go to Wang Guifei's palace first today.
Concubine Wang turned out to be Concubine Zhao, and was promoted to concubine because she gave birth to the second prince. When Wang Guifei learned that Lu Heng's wife had come to her palace, she was almost scared to death.
The events of the past two days have been spread all over the place. Wang Yanqing can tell lies, and Lu Heng is behind him. One sentence can determine the life and death of the harem's family. Because of Wang Yanqing's testimony, Empress Fang, who had just done her rescue, was shamed and shameless. Concubine Wang is a palace concubine. If Wang Yanqing told the emperor that she lied, then Concubine Wang, and even the future of the second prince, would be stunned. All buried.
Therefore, the people in the imperial concubine's palace were respectful and defensive towards Wang Yanqing. When Wang Yanqing arrived, Concubine Wang greeted her at the door in person. Wang Yanqing saluted Concubine Wang and asked, "Dear concubine, madam. I was instructed to investigate the change in Yang Jinying's palace, and I need to ask someone to question in the palace. Niangniang would not mind, would you?"
Concubine Wang quickly shook her head, how dare she mind? Wang Guifei knew that the man in front of her had the ability to read minds. She didn't even dare to let go of the expression on her face. She smiled and said, "There is Mrs. Lao Lu."
Concubine Wang's smile was gentle and restrained, and she looked like a shy concubine, but in Wang Yanqing's eyes, her reluctance and disobedience were all at a glance.
Wang Yanqing was silent, she asked Wang Guifei's actions and time on the twenty-seventh day, and Wang Guifei answered carefully. During this period, Wang Yanqing quietly looked at Concubine Wang's face, making Concubine Wang's heart skip a beat.
what is she looking at? What did she see?
Concubine Wang was surprised and suspicious when the questioning ended. Wang Yanqing smiled very politely, and asked, "Your Majesty, is it convenient for me to take a look in the palace?"
Of course Concubine Wang smiled and said it was convenient.
This kind of opportunity for meritorious service will not be missed by the eunuchs of the West Factory. As soon as Wang Yanqing's eyes fell, someone opened it to Wang Yanqing. Wang Yanqing searched very restrainedly. After reading it, he would restore it to its original state and put it back. After a search, there was no clutter in the palace.
Concubine Wang asked cautiously, "Mrs. Lu, have you found anything?"
Wang Yanqing smiled lightly, and said, "I'm just looking at it casually, the imperial concubine doesn't need to be nervous."
Wang Guifei smiled and said yes, after Wang Yanqing said this, she became even more nervous. Wang Yanqing asked for a spare palace, and might call away the palace servants beside the imperial concubine. Concubine Wang smiled and agreed, and watched Wang Yanqing go out.
After Wang Yanqing left, the smile on Wang Guifei's face could no longer be maintained, revealing deep fear.
Today is the same as yesterday, Wang Yanqing questioned and recorded by himself, the father-in-law of Xichang accompanied him, and the eunuch who ran errands brought people in for questioning according to the list. Wang Yanqing only called one person at a time, which should not affect the normal operation of the imperial concubine's palace, but the people in the Changchūn palace were panicked.
At noon, the second prince had just eaten his milk, and was drowsy with his milk burp. Wang Guifei coaxed the second prince to sleep, but she was always absent-minded and patted the child's hand lightly and hard. Finally, Concubine Wang couldn't take it anymore, and asked the nanny to take the prince away. She called the maid beside her and asked quietly, "Have you finished asking?"
"I asked the four eunuchs to go in together just now. They should be finished asking."
Wang Guifei frowned, completely uneasy: "What did she ask?"
The big palace maid is also unpredictable: "It's still those problems, nothing special."
After the first few palace maids came out, they quietly told Wang Guifei the content of Wang Yanqing's question. Wang Yanqing's questioning is very ordinary, and it seems that there is nothing unusual. However, this is more terrifying. If you can't see the cleverness of the problem, it means that they have not found a trap.
This is so torturous.
Wang Guifei frowned, and when she was at a loss, she suddenly heard someone from outside say that Wang Yanqing had finished asking. She was startled, and hurriedly went out to greet her: "Mrs. Lu, you must be tired after asking for so long? My concubine has prepared soup to moisten her throat. Wouldn't Mrs. Lu drink one before leaving?"
Wang Yanqing didn't want to eat in the harem, so politely but firmly refused.
Concubine Wang Gui stayed to no avail, so she had no choice but to send Wang Yanqing out. After they were far away, Concubine Wang turned around and asked her confidant in a low voice, "What did she say at the end?"
The chamberlain repeated Wang Yanqing's question, but Wang Guifei still couldn't hear the clue. Concubine Wang frowned tightly, and the maid was also frightened, so she couldn't help asking Concubine Wang: "Niangniang, what do you think she will say when she goes back?"
