Chapter 316: A Blank Sheet of Paper
When Emperor Zhiyou interrogated Concubine He De and Zhang Guard, He En led a small chamberlain to investigate in Yongqing Palace.
At this time, the maids and maids of Yongqing Palace were all dismissed, and the palace still maintained the situation when Zhang Guards were arrested, which looked slightly messy.
After some careful searching, Ho En returned to the palace to resume his life, and in addition to his usual dust, he also had an extra blank piece of paper.
"Your Majesty, this blank paper was found under Concubine De's soft pillow, how could a blank piece of paper be stuffed under it? The servant felt that something was unusual, so he presented it to the emperor. He En said this, and respectfully handed the white paper in his hand to Emperor Zhiyou.
There is nothing special in the Yongqing Palace, and from the eyes of He En, the head of the inner chamberlain, whether it is the furnishings or the degree of use, they all meet the standards of the four concubines - there is nothing abnormal about this.
But under Concubine De's soft pillow, a corner of white paper was revealed, which was obviously stuffed in a hurry, but because it was too hurried, it was not hidden.
Or, Concubine De didn't expect that someone would dare to investigate her dormitory, so she didn't hide this blank piece of paper.
Whatever the case, Hoen felt that this blank sheet of paper was unusual, and it was the strangest thing he had ever found.
Emperor Zhiyou took this white paper, which was as white as new, and it was the ancient heart hall paper that many people in Jingzhao liked to use, and there was nothing special.
- If it weren't for the weird time and place of its appearance, no one would have noticed it.
Emperor Zhiyou shook the white paper in his hand and asked Concubine Hede: "What is this?"
"Your Majesty...... This is the paper of Gu Xintang, the concubine can't sleep at night, it was originally intended to be used for writing, when there was movement in the palace, the concubine easily stuffed it under the soft pillow...... "Concubine He De tried her best to maintain her clarity, trying to make her words sound reasonable and credible.
It's just that after hearing He En bring this blank paper, her heart jumped more and more, and her whole person trembled involuntarily.
This blank piece of paper is the secret letter sent by the guard!
At that time, she opened it and looked at it, and immediately realized that it was bad, and at the same time as quickly ordering Zhang to leave immediately, she easily stuffed the blank paper under the pillow.
The next moment, there was a movement in the palace, and Aunt Lian hurriedly came to report that the guards had been caught, and she left the dormitory with a shocked look to see what was going on...... Then, forget about this blank slate!
Now, seeing the appearance of He En alone with this blank piece of paper, she suddenly felt an ominous omen in her heart.
There won't be any problems with this blank piece of paper, right?
It's going to be fine, it's just a blank slate!
Hearing this, Emperor Zhiyou carefully looked at the white paper in his hand, although his face was not obvious, his heart was surging but undulating.
He came to Yongqing Palace, and he was indeed interrogating Concubine He De and Zhang Guard, but for some reason, he always felt that it was very ridiculous for Concubine He De to have an affair with Zhang Guard, in his cognition, with his understanding of Concubine He De, this was impossible to happen.
He knew that the concubines in the palace were lonely, and there was no shortage of concubines who fornicated with the guards in all dynasties, but Concubine He De ...... There was no reason to do so at allββ because Emperor Supreme Blessing had infinite confidence in himself.
Although he disdains to compare with other men, Emperor Zhiyou is not afraid to compare.
He holds the supreme power in the world, and he is so young, he looks much better than many family members, and a person like him meets the imagination of all concubines, and can bring more benefits to all concubines than any man.
What reason does Concubine De have for fornicating with the guards? Is it greedy for the power of the guards? Or is it the color of the guards? Or is it the heart of a good guard?
He has all of these, and it's much better than the Zhang guards in front of him!
However, in such a late night, Zhang Guard did appear in Yongqing Palace, which is an absolutely definite thing.
Emperor Zhiyou couldn't understand, although he felt extremely angry, but there were many more doubts in his heart than anger.
Why did this Zhang guard appear here, and why didn't Concubine De say anything?
When he saw this blank paper, he stopped interrogating it, and had a keen intuition in his heart: this blank paper is very important, maybe it is the key!
Emperor Zhiyou was taught by the Empress Dowager Li Ping in his early years, and knew that a person's keen intuition was based on daily accumulation and reaction, and was not completely implausible.
But it was just a blank piece of paper, and he flipped through it and looked at it carefully, and he didn't think there was anything special.
At this time, the little chamberlain who followed He En said timidly: "Your Majesty, the slave ...... The minions heard that some secret letters were covered up by special means in order to avoid people's eyes...... Could this be the same with this blank piece of paper?"
Suddenly, the eyes of several people in the Yongqing Palace fell on this little chamberlain, even Emperor Zhiyou was no exception.
Sensing everyone's scrutiny, the little chamberlain suddenly changed color, knelt down with a "poof", and hurriedly pleaded for sin: "The slave has many words, please forgive the emperor, please forgive the emperor......"
The little chamberlain was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and he glanced up at He En helplessly, with a hint of pleading in his eyes.
He is a small chamberlain on an errand in Zichen Palace, nominally listening to orders in front of the emperor, but in fact the person who waits is He En. - Otherwise, He En would not have led him to search Yongqing Palace.
He En likes this little chamberlain quite a lot, although he feels that the little chamberlain does have a lot to say, but he has to maintain it, he was about to say something, but he heard Emperor Zhiyou command: "He En, quickly summon Zhao Dajun to Yongqing Palace!"
"Yes, the minion is going!" He En immediately replied, and immediately asked this little chamberlain to go and inform Vice General Zhao.
He swallowed back the words that he originally wanted to intercede for the little chamberlain, and the emperor gave this order, obviously listening to the words of the little chamberlain, right?
Zuo Yiwei's Deputy General Zhao, I heard that he is well versed in the matter of secret letters and secret guards, and he can tell if this blank piece of paper is abnormal, but he can see the kung fu, right?
He En was right, Emperor Zhiyou summoned Zhao Dajun to Yongqing Palace, just to let him identify this blank paper!
After listening to Emperor Zhiyou's instructions, Zhao Dajun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he would atone for his sins, and he would definitely use all his skills to solve the emperor's doubts.
In fact, he didn't have to use all his skills, and a person like him, who was proficient in all kinds of fine methods, found that something was different after taking this blank piece of paper and rubbing it a few times, and his face became more and more solemn.
This white paper looks as smooth as new, and there is not a single handwriting on it, but if you rub it carefully, you can feel some ups and downs, and it is obvious that there is something different!
After Zhao Dajun rubbed the white paper, he also reflected the white paper near the candle flame, and finally asked the little chamberlain to bring a basin of water and soaked the white paper in the clear water.
"Ah, there are really ...... words" The little chamberlain, who had been closely observing Zhao Dajun's movements, couldn't help but exclaim again, his eyes widening.
Hearing this exclamation, Concubine Hede, who was still kneeling, shrank again, feeling the cold air surging from the soles of her feet, and she could barely even kneel.
There are words...... What's in the word?
