Chapter 347: Investigation
The Jade Rabbit has been reaching out for spiritual sense, observing every move outside. Hearing Huangpu Nan's words, I was also a little puzzled: "Sister, the feeling that this Huangpu Nan gives me doesn't seem to be the kind of person who deceives and deceives. But Concubine Xiao Yun's words were conclusive, and she didn't want to lie and be deceived, I am afraid there are some hidden secrets in this. โ
"If there is a hidden secret, we will know as soon as we ask." Wu You replied, and then ordered the monks to gather all the eunuchs and palace maids who had been in the palace for more than ten years.
โ few people didn't dare to delay, turned around and left quickly. Huangpu Nan looked calm, standing there waiting for everyone to return, without any sense of panic. After a short time, the monks returned one by one, and there were hundreds of eunuchs and palace maids behind them. These are all old people who have been in the palace for more than ten years, most of them are eunuchs, and only a few are palace maids.
Wu You was puzzled, and asked one of them a few words before he understood the specifics. It turned out that when the palace maid was older, she would be sent out of the palace by Huangpu Nan's order to find a place to return and have children. And the few elderly palace maids who stayed behind were unwilling to leave and took the initiative to stay here.
โ Here, Wu You faintly has a feeling that this Huangpu Nan is not as evil as Concubine Xiao Yun said.
โฎUnder Wuyou's order, these eunuchs and palace maids were divided into several parts and separated from each other into several rooms. Wuyou then stepped in and asked about the events of the year one by one. Especially about Concubine Xiao Yun's words and Huangpu Nan's personality, Wu You inquired in detail.
Of course, for the truth or falsehood of these people's words, the dance is so leisurely that you don't have to worry too much. With the Jade Rabbit manipulating the Mystery Bead to stand aside, these eunuchs and palace maids who have no cultivation have no possibility of lying at all.
Half an hour later, Wu You walked out. With a deep groan on his face. Through this series of inquiries, Wu You can already be sure that what Huang Pu Nan said is true, but Xiao Yun's words are groundless. Only about Wang Zhong's affairs, because of his concealment, outsiders cannot know the specifics. But Wang Zhong's collusion with the mountain bandits is true, and I believe that the previous punishment is not a wish.
โช what Huangpu Nan said is true. That Xiao Yun is lying and deceiving. But when you ask before. This Xiao Yun's eyes were firm, and he didn't look like he was lying, which made Wuyou's heart. I felt something strange.
Just as Wuyou was groaning, a middle-aged palace maid behind him stepped forward and came to Wuyou's back with her heart: "Girl, who are you?" Why ask about the past? โ
Mai You was stunned and glanced back. smiled faintly: "I'm just a passerby, because I accepted the entrustment of others, so I came here to investigate the things of the year." โ
"So, you've seen my young lady?" The woman asked heartily.
"Your young lady. Are you referring to Concubine Xiao Yun? Maiyu felt a wave of curiosity.
When she heard this, the woman was overjoyed, and her face was excited: "So to speak. You've really met Miss. Where is she now? How's it going? Can you take me to her? โ
Wuyou glanced at the woman, and her heart moved: "Listen to what you say." You should follow Concubine Xiao Yun into the palace and get along for a long time, right? โ
"Yes! I waited for the young lady until she was elected to the palace, and I followed her all the way. The woman nodded, her eyes flashing with remembrance.
"Then you should know the most about your young lady's personality?"
"Yes!" The woman nodded affirmatively.
"Then before her accident, was there anything unusual?"
"Anomalies?" The woman frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded, "When the girl said that, I really remembered something. When the young lady was favored by His Majesty, she could have infinite scenery, and almost became the mother of a country. โฆ
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and the later Concubine Liu entered the palace, and with her young and beautiful, she deeply touched His Majesty's heart. But at that time, the young lady was still one of His Majesty's favorite concubines, and if it continued like this, it would be a good ending.
But since the arrival of Imperial Concubine Liu, the young lady's temperament has changed greatly and she has become irritable and suspicious. She had told me many times that someone was trying to murder her, and she hid in a corner with trepidation, not daring to go out in the slightest.
At first, we didn't know what was going on, and we really thought that someone was going to murder Miss. But when we searched carefully, we found that there were no anomalies around, let alone assassins.
Since then, the young lady has become more and more sensitive, and the slightest disturbance will cause her to shout. Occasionally, the young lady even ran to the bedroom of Imperial Concubine Liu and blocked the door to shout and scold. said that she seduced the emperor, which made her snubbed, and her words were fierce, insisting that Princess Liu wanted to kill her.
Later, Imperial Concubine Liu had an accident, and the Liu family was even more treasonous, which made the emperor angry, so he sent the young lady into the cold palace until she disappeared inexplicably. โ
"This matter is a bit strange, it seems that I still need to investigate it carefully." Wuyou groaned in her heart, and then nodded to the woman, "You stay here and wait for me first, and I'll take care of some things." As for your young lady, I am here to keep her safe, and I will arrange for you to meet later. โ
The woman was overjoyed, bowed respectfully to Wuyou, and turned back into a small courtyard. It is the place where the elderly palace maids live, and it can be regarded as a retirement place arranged for them by Huangpu South.
Wuyou walked back, and soon arrived in front of Huangpu South. glanced at him lightly, and the corners of Wuyou's mouth curled: "By asking, who is the current queen and when was she canonized?" โ
"My queen's name is Wang Yan, and she was canonized as an empress ten years ago. At that time, Imperial Concubine Liu unexpectedly fell into a fragrant situation, and Concubine Xiao Yun, who had a chance to become the queen, became a murderer. Although I couldn't bear to kill her, I couldn't let her go unpunished anymore, so I sent her to the cold palace.
At that time, my heart was cold, and I no longer wanted to mention any children's private affairs. Only then did at the suggestion of the prime minister that Wang Yan was appointed as the queen and was in charge of my harem concubines. I don't know what you mean by asking this? Huangpu Nan's face was full of doubts.
Wu You smiled: "I want to meet this queen of yours, I don't know if it's inconvenient?" โ
Huangpu Nan was stunned: "You want to see my queen?" โ
"Not bad!"
"What's the matter?"
"There are some things that I want to confirm in person." Maiyo smiled faintly.
Huang Pu Nan's eyes shrank, and he vaguely felt that something was wrong. When Wuyou asked, neither Concubine Xiao Yun nor Wang Zhong had anything to do with the queen. But now, Wuyou suddenly proposed to see the queen, which made Huangpu Nan's heart feel very strange.
After a little silence, Huangpu Nan finally nodded: "Yes, I will send someone to call her here." โ
Wuyou shook her head: "No need, I'd better go see her by myself." โ
"Alright, I'll send someone to take you to the Queen's bedchamber."
Under the orders of Huangpu Nan, a eunuch stepped out and led Wuyou towards the harem. Huangpu Nan hesitated slightly, and followed with a step, wanting to see what was going on. However, he always kept a few feet away from Wuyou, and did not come forward to disturb him.
The palace was huge, and Wuyou shuttled for a while under the guidance of the eunuch before finally coming to a palace.
The eunuch stopped his steps and bowed to Wuyou: "Girl, this is the queen's bedroom, do you want the slave to go in and report it?" โ
"No, I'll just go in by myself." Wu You waved his hand and stepped straight in. โฆ
There were guards in the palace, but the moment they stepped in, they were unaware. It was as if the dance had become air at this time, and under the eyes of these guards, there was no form at all.
Seeing this scene, Huangpu Nan was slightly stunned at first, but then relieved. Wu You is a monk, Huangpu Nan has long known, and it is naturally not difficult to avoid the eyes and ears of these ordinary guards.
Rao is like this, but Huangpu Nan has not much fear in his heart. It's not that he is naturally bold, but that Huangpu Nan has the confidence to protect himself and can be sure that his life is okay. This confidence did not come from the strict guards of the palace, nor from his identity as emperor, but from a jade pendant that he always held in his hand.
This jade pendant is handed down by the ancestor of Huangpu Nanzu, and it is said that it is a very powerful immortal gift. With this jade pendant in his hand, let alone a monk who dances, even if there are a few more, he doesn't care about it. Of course, Huangpu Nan is not arrogant, if he is not forced to do so, he will not rashly turn his face with Wuyou.
Huangpu Nan's thoughts, Wu You didn't know, but the jade pendant in his hand had already fallen into Wu You's eyes. On top of that jade pendant, Wuyou could feel the condensed and undispersed spiritual power fluctuations, which seemed to be not strong but brought a strong sense of crisis to Wuyou.
It seems that inside this jade pendant, there is an ancient troll sealed, and once it is released, it can devour people. Wuyou was not sure that he would be able to resist, so he naturally added a little caution in his heart. Fortunately, things have developed to this point, and it seems that there are not many problems with this Huangpu South, and Wuyou has avoided the possibility of a head-on conflict with him.
As he walked forward, a hazy light emanated from Wuyou's body, and his body shape changed rapidly. After a few breaths, Wuyou's appearance changed greatly, and he directly became Xiao Yun's appearance. At the same time, Maiyu also flashed out of her previous concealment and appeared directly in front of the guards.
Seeing a person suddenly appear in front of him, the nearby palace guards were all startled, and they instantly surrounded him with a shout. The sound of the sword out of the body sounded, and a murderous aura quickly rose, and the battle seemed to start at any moment.
But at this moment, an exclamation suddenly sounded: "You, you are Concubine Xiao Yun!" โ
The exclamation was made by a middle-aged woman, dressed gracefully and luxuriously, obviously with some status in this palace. It's just that at this time, her face was shocked, and there was a look of fear between her eyebrows, as if she had seen something terrible. (To be continued)
