early morning

The sun is just right

The palace is very lively today, early in the morning, the eunuchs and palace ladies are busy running around, no matter whether they are happy or not, they all have a very bright smile on their faces. Besides, they have no reason to be unhappy, and although they are busy, they have a sufficient reward for this day.

The prince of the prison country has spoken before, five taels per person in the small miscellaneous door, ten taels per person in the class, and if there is a good performance and no chaos, there will be additional rewards. Not only the crown prince, but even the prince of England heard about this, and he also came to make fun, and after discussing with the prince, he pulled in the silver of the three carriages from the prince's mansion.

Although it is just a fun, it is not as rewardable as the prince's reward, but it is also a rare favor. Originally, the eldest princess Yong'an's master also wanted to do this, but the Supreme Lord opened his mouth and said, you can't mess with the rules. Therefore, the master of Yong'an could only dispel his thoughts. It's all for the blessing of our benevolent Supreme Lord, and we all hope that the Supreme Lord can get better soon, and they are all kind-hearted masters.

Not to mention that there are these rewards, but there are no these, for the Supreme Lord's usual tolerance and benevolence, we can't buy the strength of the hand?

Most of the little eunuchs and palace maids thought so in their hearts.

When they were busy, Xiao Jing, the chief eunuch of the palace office, and the chief manager of the inner government, were even more busy, approving the expenses in several places, and commanding a few eunuchs under his command to check if there were any mistakes.

This kind of busyness has lasted for many days, and today is the forty-two-year-old Qianqiu birthday gift of the Supreme Lord, but I don't dare to make any trouble. The body and bones of the Supreme Lord are not good, if there is any more trouble, wouldn't it be a good idea to block the masters and masters in this good day?

After instructing the eunuchs in the hall, let them go down and get busy. Xiao Jing dragged his tired body and sat on the chair, he didn't sleep for two whole days and two nights, even a grandmaster like him felt so sore from the inside of his bones at the moment. After taking a sip of tea and preparing to take a nap, a little yellow door came to report and said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was invited.

Xiao Jing didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly stood up and rushed to the East Palace with the little yellow door.

Not long after arriving at the East Palace, he saw the eunuch who had something going on running out in a hurry, walked up to him and bowed down and said, "Chief Administrator, the prince asked you to go in." ”

Xiao Jing nodded slightly, and took a step inside.

I only heard the eunuch following behind him, and whispered: "Godfather, you wait carefully after you go in, last evening, after the prince saw the third son of the Li family, he didn't know what was wrong, and he was in a bad mood." Originally, I was going to call someone to call you last night, but the small table said that you were busy with this birthday banquet, and the prince stopped this thought. ”

Xiao Jingbi frowned, hummed softly, and replied, "I know, you go and get busy, and the miscellaneous family will go in by yourself." ”

The eunuch replied, "No." And he withdrew.

Outside the door of the prince's bedroom, Xiao Jing adjusted the robe on his body, and said loudly: "Slave Xiao Jing, serve the prince." ”

I only heard the answer inside: "Is it Xiao Daban who has arrived?" ”

"No. ”

Xiao Jing walked into the dormitory, and saw that the prince seemed to have just had breakfast, sitting on a chair, rinsing his mouth with a cup of fragrant tea in his hand, and several palace maids waiting around him, who were busy.

Seeing Xiao Jing come in, the prince put down the teacup with a smile and asked, "Xiao Daban, today is the birthday of my father's swing, don't you dare to slack off, are all the palaces ready?"

Xiao Jing bowed down and replied: "If you go back to the prince, everything that should be prepared has been prepared, and the annual birthday banquet of the Supreme Lord, as well as the expenses in the palace, are all prepared by the slaves and maids. I believe there will be no mistakes. ”

The crown prince nodded and said, "What's going on in the harem? have the princesses, princesses, princesses, and county lords of each family been handed over the list of entering the palace?"

Xiao Jing replied: "Don't dare to pay for the prince, it's all done." ”

The crown prince said: "What about my father, have you been in a good mood these two days?"

Xiao Jing said: "The Supreme Lord is in a very good mood, at noon the day before yesterday, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess had already entered the palace, and she had been serving by the Supreme Lord's side, saying some considerate words to the Supreme Lord, and sometimes telling two jokes, which made the Supreme laugh. Yesterday, the second princess and the third prince entered the palace, together with the eldest princess, accompanied by the Supreme Lord. The Supreme Lord was really happy to see several princesses. ”

The prince nodded slightly, sighed and said: "In the past two days, he has been busy with things around him, and he didn't go to talk to his father, so he must be really lonely." It's good to have a few royal sisters with you. Oh, by the way, what about the royal brother? Didn't you enter the palace?"

Xiao Jingxin said that he also had to have the courage to enter the palace in advance, and it would not be pleasant to provoke the Supreme Lord. His face was full of smiles, and he said, "I think the king of Fu'an County has been busy recently, so I can't take care of it." I heard from the people below that it should be this afternoon with all the courtiers and nobles to enter the palace to congratulate the Supreme Eternal Year. ”

A disdainful smile rose slightly on the prince's face, but he quickly relented, mumbled, and said, "That's good, Xiao Daban does things, don't worry, I don't think there will be any mistakes in the future." ”

Speaking of this, the prince waved his hand to the other palace maids who were waiting, and motioned for them to go out.

When Xiao Jing saw this form, he understood that the prince had some private words to say to him, but he was a little unreasonable.

After the palace maids all went out, the prince said: "Xiao Daban, you are most familiar with the situation in this palace, and there are some things I want to ask you." ”

Xiao Jing said: "Prince, even if you ask, the slave knows everything, and the words are endless. ”

The prince nodded, took out a few pieces of paper from his bosom, and gently placed them on the table, and saw that they were several sketches stacked on top of each other.

Tapping his finger twice on the portrait, the prince asked, "Xiao Daban, look, do you know these three people?"

Xiao Jing picked up the portraits, looked at them one by one, and replied: "If you go back to the prince, these three slaves and maids all know." ”

The prince's eyes lit up slightly, and he asked, "Oh?"

Xiao Jing placed the first portrait on the table, and the figure in this portrait was a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

Xiao Jing pointed to the portrait and said: "This person's name is Huang Chun, he was originally a farmer, Jinghe entered the palace in the eighteenth year, and now he is a small team leader of the imperial horse supervisor. ”

Speaking of this, he put down the second portrait, on which was a man in his fifties, with a white face and no beard, and said: "This person's name is Fan Gui, the first emperor Wuzong entered the palace in the year, and originally served as the head of the washing superintendent, and later offered to worship, but he got cold fever at the age of four years and died. ”

Then there is the third portrait, a middle-aged man with a plain face. Xiao Jing continued: "This person is Sun Ming, serving by Concubine Dong's side. However, except for Fan Gui, who has been dead for four years, Huang Chun and Sun Ming disappeared a few days ago, and the slave maid is asking someone to find it. ”

The prince sighed, pointed to Fan Gui's portrait and said, "If Gu told you that this person didn't die four years ago, do you believe it?"

Xiao Jing asked: "Can't you, right? There are autopsies in the palace that can be checked at that time." ”

The prince continued: "Ruo Gu will tell you again that these three people were killed by Ban Ding a few days ago, do you believe it?"

Xiao Jing thought of a possibility when he mentioned it in his heart, and then fell silent.

Under the burning gaze of the prince, after half a sound, Xiao Jingcai said: "I'm afraid there is a big article here, the slave and maid truthfully told the prince, Xiao Chun'er, that is, Huang Chun'er, is the person who follows the slave and the maid, and he follows the class general, and the slave and maid let him go." As for the other two, the slave didn't know. ”

The prince asked strangely, "Then why did you let Huang Chun follow Ban Ding?"

Xiao Jing's face showed embarrassment, gritted his teeth, and whispered a few words in the prince's ear.

The crown prince's brows furrowed a few times, and after a while, he asked, "Is this the intention of my father?" In other words, on the night of the accident with the wife of the governor of Tobeyou, you had already found the real plum blossom thief, and you had a fight with him?"

Xiao Jing nodded and said, "Yes, the Supreme Lord wanted to sharpen the knife, and it happened that Meihua dared to commit a crime that night, so the slave followed." But the effect was not very good, although the plum blossom leader lost, he also agreed to do things for the slave maid. But it's a pity that the slave found him a little late, and he was killed by Li Sangongzi before he could rush to implement the next plan. ”

The prince pondered for a long time, and said helplessly: "Yesterday, Zhi'an came to the palace to tell Gu about these things, and asked Gu to ask about the three of you, saying that if you can find out the details of these three people, some problems can be solved, but I didn't expect this to be the result." Regarding Huang Chun's everything, Lone will tell Zhi'an, so as not to have any prejudice against you after he finds out the truth in the future. ”

Xiao Jing hurriedly said: "The slave and maid thanked the prince. ”

The prince said again: "I just said that these three people were killed by Ban Ding, but in fact, I want to test your reaction, after all, in this inner mansion, all the affairs except for the worship bureau are in your hands, and you have any doubts, don't take it to heart." But Fan Gui and Sun Ming were really killed by Ban Qilang, and Huang Chun was killed by a sneak attack by these two people?"

Xiao Jing was stunned for a moment and asked, "How can this be?"

When the prince finished the book, he told him what had happened.

After Xiao Jing heard this, his brows furrowed, and he said, "The corpse was instantly burned into black ashes, and it should have been smeared with corpse burning powder on the weapon." This is made by an old worshipper in the palace during the reign of Xianzong, and the blood is burning, and there is no trace after that. Later, because this kind of thing was too vicious, it has never been used, and the secret recipe is sealed in the Great Interior, how can anyone still use it now?"

The prince shook his head and said: "This recipe is not surprising, Zhi'an has already explained its principle to Gu, it is nothing more than white phosphorus that has been specially treated and mixed with some poison that turns into corpses." What Lone wants to know is, what is going on with the other two minions? Also, what does this mysterious force in the palace have to do with the person who kidnapped Zhi'an back then?"
