Chapter 246: Small Punishment and Great Warning
"Manager Chang, look at what scared you, do you also think that Concubine Jing didn't commit suicide? Or did you do something unseemly, so your heart is very empty?"
Seeing Chang Le looking left and right, with a restless and fearful attitude, Cheng Jinzhi knew that he was mostly related to the death of Jing Concubine, and maybe even the snake that appeared in the middle of the night was due to him, and he couldn't help but feel a little more disgusted for this person in his heart.

Then he approached Chang Le in confusion, his eyes lit up, and he slapped Chang Le's shoulder hard.
And Gao Heng has been standing by the side silently, smiling rather than laughing, obviously acquiescing to Cheng Jinzhi's deliberate behavior.
It's just that the only thing he is worried about is that since the queen sent someone to kill Concubine Jing, he must be worried that she will leak secrets to kill him.
If it is transmitted to the ears of Empress Zhao through the mouth of Chang Le, she is afraid of the secret of the prince's life experience, and she will not easily let go of Cheng Jinzhi, who has been in contact with Jing Concubine.
Hearing Cheng Jinzhi's words, Chang Le avoided her gaze a little unnaturally, and faintly felt that Cheng Jinzhi must have noticed something, so he would say that he doubted the true cause of Concubine Jing's death.
He rubbed his shoulder, his eyes sank, and he frowned a little anxiously, and gradually began to understand in his heart, why in addition to Gao Heng and Concubine Hui, Empress Zhao still hated this seemingly "harmless to humans and animals" Princess Yan so much?
It stands to reason that killing a sinner woman in the deep palace who has been ignored and has fallen out of favor for many years is not a big deal, but the queen is still grounded in the Zhenghe Palace with a guilty body, if there are rumors of deliberate murder of the abandoned concubine at this time, it will inevitably make Emperor Zhou Longyan angry again, and it is very likely that the crime will be added to the crime, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
Therefore, at this time, Chang Le, as a loyal servant to Queen Zhao, naturally has to properly solve everything he can for his master, and cannot leave a trace that can be criticized.
"Ahem, princess Niangniang, it is a well-known thing that Concubine Jing hanged herself in this cell, everyone has seen it, and even the princess yourself has witnessed it, so why should the princess be alarmist here? If this reaches the ears of His Majesty, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not be charged with incitement and slander. ”
"You don't use Your Majesty to scare me, is it alarmist, Manager Chang doesn't need to tell me, just understand it in your heart. Cheng Jinzhi said with a smile on his face, and put his hand on his chest, "As the saying goes, if you don't do bad things, you are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, and you have a clear conscience in everything, isn't it?"
Seeing Cheng Jinzhi's sharp and aggressive words, Chang Le pulled the corners of his mouth with some displeasure, but he didn't dare to attack because he was afraid of Gao Heng, so he had to turn his face and look at the hairpin in King Huai's hand, and narrowed his eyes noticed.
"Yo, forgive the slave for being clumsy, that hairpin shouldn't be your Royal Highness King Huai, right?"
Gao Qi saw Chang Le staring at the hairpin in his hand, and hurriedly put the hairpin into his sleeve in a little panic, and raised his eyes slightly.
"I don't know if I can borrow a minion to take a look. ”
Chang Le saw Gao Qi's secretive appearance, and immediately realized that this was the thing that Jing Concubine used before her death, and adhered to the belief that she would destroy any clues, so she walked up to Gao Qi and stretched out her hand.
Although he said tentatively, he also saw that Gao Qi did not dare to resist, and obviously looked determined to win, but at this time, Cheng Jinzhi suddenly blocked Gao Qi unceremoniously.
"What's the matter? The queen mother only ordered you to clean up the cell, do you think you are a treasure hunting team? This hairpin now belongs to His Royal Highness King Huai, does Manager Chang still want to be disrespectful to the prince and rob it?"
Seeing that Cheng Jinzhi was in the way one after another, Chang Le's eyes quickly filled with a gloomy color, and he secretly gritted his teeth, and when he raised his head again, he regained his submissive face.
"Princess Yan is really joking, the slave is just on the order of the queen's mother, so everything left by Concubine Jing during her lifetime, the slave must be cleared, otherwise if the mother is to blame, the slave can't afford it. ”
Of course, Cheng Jinzhi knew that Empress Zhao sent Chang Le to come because she was afraid that Concubine Jing would leave something unfavorable to herself, and wanted to destroy the corpse.
At the moment, seeing Chang Le's unrelenting, he was already tired of him, but he was worried that if Chang Le was not allowed to see clearly at this time, with Queen Zhao's personality of "I would rather kill by mistake than let go", it must be difficult to be down-to-earth in my heart.
Instead of letting her think of trying to embarrass Gao Qi in the future, it is better to have a matter on her mind now, at least Gao Heng is on her side, and she will not dare to do anything wrong if she forgives this Chang Le.
"Okay, since you want to see it, then let you see it clearly, lest the queen want to take the opportunity to make trouble in the future and disturb the peace of His Royal Highness King Huai. ”
Cheng Jinzhi glanced at Chang Le, turned to Gao Qi with a comforting look, and nodded at him with a pleasant face.
Although Gao Qi's personality is a little weak, he is a smart person, and Cheng Jinzhi helped him several times, which made him very grateful, and immediately understood, took out the hairpin from the cuff and handed it to Chang Le.
Chang Le took the hairpin from Gao Qi's hand, and looked at it carefully in the details, even the beads inlaid on it did not let go, and reached out to pick it one by one, fortunately, the force was still small, otherwise he would really have to pick it off.
"What is the subtlety of a hairpin that is clear at a glance, I look so seriously, and I am not afraid of my eyes falling off. ”
Cheng Jinzhi yawned a little impatiently, and looked around with a distracted gaze, but as soon as he came back to his senses, he saw Chang Le weighing the weight of this hairpin, and suddenly held it high and smashed it to the ground.
"Your grandma, stop it!"
said that it was too late and that it was fast, just when everyone thought that the hairpin would definitely be destroyed, I saw Gao Heng suddenly fly forward, reach out and catch the hairpin that was about to fall to the ground with a very fast momentum, and slapped his backhand on Chang Le's chest, although he controlled the strength, but still smashed him on the prison door behind him, so painful that he covered his chest with grinning teeth, and his face was already cloudy.
"His Royal Highness King Yan, you... What are you going to do here?"
"What are you going to do?"
Gao Hengjian raised his eyebrows, approached Chang Le with a calm face, and his tone was sharp and cold.
"What the princess of this king said just now is very clear, this is the seventh brother's thing, you dare to destroy the prince's things in front of the king, where do you want to put this king and the seventh brother? Who gave you such courage?"
Gao Heng's tone suddenly increased at the end, and a compelling chill filled his eyes, and Chang Le, who had always had no one in his eyes, couldn't help but tremble, lowered his head without momentum, and bit his lower lip in pain.
