Chapter 177: Their Speculation
He Yanzhi looked sideways at him and did not respond.
After a long time, he whispered: "People die for money, birds die for food, you have more understanding of this sentence than me."
Xiao Si was stunned, the smile on his face disappeared, and he looked at He Yanzhi: "How much do you know about my master's affairs?"
Raising his head to meet Xiao Si's gaze, He Yanzhi looked at him fixedly for a moment and said, "Don't you think it's superfluous to ask me about this?"
"Now that you have arrived in the palace, how many people can you find who were related to this matter in the past?"
Xiao Si thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty has replaced most of the manpower in the palace since the accident."
"Isn't this the end of it?" A sarcastic smile flashed at the corner of He Yanzhi's mouth and said, "You two senior brothers are one in and one out."
"I've been in the palace for so long, and I haven't figured out the truth, can I solve the mystery in your heart with a few words now?"
"Even if I sue you, will you believe all the inside information I know?"
He Yanzhi paused, and continued: "What's more, why should I sue you?"
Xiao Si was speechless for a while, frowned and looked at him for a while, then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, I know you have a shadow, I just don't ask, it's still the same place."
"I have time, just check it slowly."
He Yanzhi glanced back at him noncommittally, bowed his head in silence, and wondered if his heart was as calm as his expression at the moment.
The conversation didn't last long, and the people who were coming didn't make them wait too long.
Xiao Si looked at the person shuttling from the bamboo garden, and looked at the other party several times with wide eyes.
The figure came from far and near, and when they came to the two of them, their eyes first swept to Xiao Si's body, and his expression was very wonderful in an instant.
No need to ask. It was the first time I saw He Yanzhi and did not shy away from the people around him.
Seeing this, He Yanzhi couldn't help but smile, and said: "It's okay, this person can't get rid of it, you know, tell me, it's okay if he hears it."
When Xiao Si heard this, he immediately rolled his eyes. Raised chin. A look of disdain.
The visitor couldn't figure out the situation in front of him, so he hesitated a little at the moment, and stood by the bamboo forest and thought for a moment. Only then did he step forward and come to He Yanzhi's side.
The person who came spoke very slowly, and the words he said were short, but after a few words, Xiao Si, who was close to He Yanzhi, also heard it clearly.
The two couldn't help but glance at each other. He Yanzhi said to the visitor: "Are you sure that the person you met is going to your majesty's study?"
Someone nodded their heads. He was none other than the attendant who had hurried out of the Empress's study.
He met another person in the middle of the road, and at this moment, in addition to informing He Yanzhi of the movements after the empress summoned the official. By the way, I also talked about this scene that happened on the road.
What I didn't expect was that He Yanzhi and Xiao Si's focus was not on the official who was reprimanded by the empress.
Their focus was on the stranger they had met on a narrow road.
The attendant described the other party's appearance, and He Yanzhi and Xiao Si both lowered their heads and thought about it.
Moments later. Xiao Si shook his head and said, "I'm sure I've never seen such a person in the palace.
He turned to He Yanzhi: "What about you?"
The latter shook his head likewise.
After listening to the answers of the two people, the squire deepened the confusion between his eyebrows.
"This new palace maid. Squire, all the rosters are complete, and if they are really selected by lottery, they will definitely recognize them."
Xiao Si responded: "I can be sure of this if you don't say this, I have seen the training site, and I have tracked the places where those people will go one by one, if it is really selected from them, how can I not know?"
He Yanzhi interrupted the conversation between the two and said, "Impossible, if Your Majesty wants to install such a person, there is absolutely no reason to choose from the people in the training ground."
"Don't forget, there have been several female officers in the training ground, and I have seen them every time."
"How is it possible to pick among them? Besides, how useful these people can be, it is even better to draw from the trained palace insiders."
He Yanzhi asked the attendant: "The road you are walking, have you ever bumped into other people?" Could it be a coincidence?"
The attendant immediately denied it: "Emperor, that road is only known to the slave."
"In the past, from the study to the Lin De Palace, the slaves took this road, and there was no exception."
"Along the way, no matter how you come or go, you have never bumped into anyone else, and this is the first time!"
"That's why the slave felt strange, thinking that he would report to the emperor no matter what."
"This road is tortuous and secret, and ordinary people will never know it."
The squire said several words in one breath to prove that the road was concealed enough.
"That means that the other party is extremely familiar with the situation in the palace." He Yanzhi looked at him after pondering and said, "You met him all the way, not only did you see him, but vice versa."
"If he informs His Majesty, you intend to"
"Emperor Guijun, please rest assured, the minion has already figured out how to answer, and he will definitely not show flaws."
"There is still a fork in that road, not far from Penglai Pavilion, if your majesty asks"
"Wait!" He Yanzhi interrupted, "You said it's not far from Penglai Pavilion?"
"The other party is from Penglai Pavilion?"
He Yanzhi suddenly had an association: "Penglai Pavilion has recently had a newcomer enter?"
The attendant shook his head. [,! ]: "No, the people placed next to the National Teacher, I'm afraid that there are more than one pair of eyes staring at the palace, and if there is a wind and grass, it will attract more attention than anywhere."
"That's right, if you want to compare, Penglai Pavilion is the most transparent, and the situation inside is clear at a glance," Xiao Si glanced at him, and turned his head to He Yanzhi: "You say, could it be someone secretly sent by the Yamen of the National Capital City?"
"Not really." He Yanzhi immediately denied this statement.
Xiao Si listened to his categorical tone, and wanted to ask, but because the attendant who delivered the message was still in front of him, the words came to his mouth and swallowed again.
He Yanzhi was so smart, he saw Xiao Si's question with a look, and then said to the attendant who sent the message: "You continue to help me keep an eye on it, the time when you come out should not be too long, or return to the study as much as possible."
The squire turned to leave. He Yanzhi suddenly remembered something, and called him out loud and said, "During this time, can't you still enter His Majesty's study?"
The attendant stood still, turned his head and said, "Emperor, yes."
"Recently, however, His Majesty has granted permission for one person to come and go in and out of the study from time to time." The waiter whispered.
"Who is it?" didn't wait for He Yanzhi to ask. Xiao Si hurriedly said loudly.
"This person. The Emperor must know."
The attendant replied: "Her eldest sister is now stationed in the Northland battlefield, and Her Majesty has returned to Beijing because of the affairs of the National Teacher. She never came back."
He Yanzhi searched in his memory for a while, and said in unison with Xiao Si: "Gu Qimei?"
The attendant nodded and said in an affirmative tone, "That's right, it's her. Or after this group of new palace maids arrived at the training ground, the female officials were the only ones who chose to be placed by His Majesty's side."
"It is said that . Every female officer in the training ground was full of praise for her, and even Her Majesty praised her many times when she saw her."
"So, she's the only one in the study who is looked at differently by His Majesty."
This kind of conversation sounds complicated. It didn't take long, and after the report, the attendant went out from the side gate along the path in the bamboo garden.
Xiao Si and He Yanzhi are still standing under the porch. Watch that back go away in a hurry.
Retracting his gaze, Xiao Si whispered, "What a big face."
He Yanzhi looked back at him. He answered, "Isn't that weird? If you have a good sister, you will naturally be treated differently by Your Majesty."
"Her Majesty can rely on her sister on the battlefield in the Northland, and she can also entrust the entire Northland to her sister in the hands of her sister when she returns to Beijing, and she has not made any mistakes until now."
He Yanzhi paced a few laps under the corridor, stopped and said: "Not only that, but there is no problem with even the disaster victims' pension, if it were you, can you do it?"
Xiao Si stretched out his hand, patted the dust on his body lightly and said, "To have such a good sister, it makes sense for my sister to stand out."
He Yanzhi glanced at him coldly and said, "Someone was there just now, what were you going to ask?"
Xiao Si was stunned, and said, "You can see it?" I do have something to ask."
"Earlier, I said that it would be someone from the Yamen of the national capital, didn't you deny it? I just want to ask you, is there also your internal response on the other side of the national capital yamen?"
"Last time, the little girl was going to enter the palace, and you asked me to take it with me to open up the joints of the yamen of the national capital city, how come you can intervene in the yamen of the national capital city in just these short days, I am just curious and want to ask."
He Yanzhi looked at him and smiled without answering.
"However, ruling out the possibilities I mentioned earlier, I thought of another way."
Xiao Siyuan didn't expect to get an answer.
"Tell me about it." He Yanzhi spoke this time.
"Do you think it's the one who is hidden in the guard?"
"I want to think about it, but I think they are the most suspicious, don't forget it, everyone who comes to the palace has a roster, and you have a backhand in the yamen of the national capital, but the hidden guards have always belonged directly to His Majesty."
"If you want to say which side can best do the best to do it without knowing it, I think it really has to be the hidden guard, what do you think?"
"You reminded me!" He Yanzhi had an epiphany, and the next second he made a gesture, silently, and there was one more person beside him.
Xiao Si was startled by the sudden scene, and said angrily: "If you want to summon, say hello too, it's like a spirit behind me, fortunately I'm bold."
"You go to the hidden guard to check, there are newcomers to the palace recently, and also, on the Penglai Pavilion side, are there any new entrants who have not been on the roster in time?"
"After checking, report it immediately."
The man in the shadows bowed slightly, and leaped into the night.
Xiao Si looked at this process, and suddenly couldn't help but say: "There are still such people buried around you, the last time the little girl came, she wasn't scared, right?"
He suddenly felt a little afraid, if that girl didn't care about the person in front of him, and sneaked in rashly like last time, I'm afraid that dying a hundred times would not be enough!
It's scary!
"How so?" The corners of He Yanzhi's mouth rarely showed a gentle smile, and he said in a low voice, "If you scare anyone, you won't scare her."
"There is another thing, you asked the hidden guard to go to Chapenglai Pavilion, tomorrow I plan to go to the flower garden, although the place is very small and inconspicuous, I should also ask if there are new people coming in?" (To be continued)
