Chapter 2151: The Confusion of the Cold Palace
Bianyue cleared her throat and said, "But the prince wants to go out?" ”
Hongli bowed his head and said: "Yes, this king and Hongday have some things to do, what do you have to do?" ”
"It's nothing, the concubine saw that the prince had been working hard recently, so she stewed some cordyceps to make up for you, since this is the case, the concubine took it back to the small kitchen and sent it to you in the evening."
Hongli replied: "This king doesn't know when he will come back, maybe it will be very late, and then you can just ask the maid to send it, so you don't have to run around and work hard." ”
Bianyue smiled warmly and said, "Thank you for your concern, the concubine is not in the way." Since you still have something to do with Wubeile, the concubine body will not be disturbed, and the concubine body will retire. ”
After she walked away, Hongyang retracted his gaze and said with emotion: "Looking at the fourth brother and her now, it is really hard to imagine the original scene, the world is unpredictable, it must be like this." ”
Hongli said: "After all, she saved my life, and she is now in the mansion to keep to herself, so she can't be treated too lightly." ”
Hongyang remembered that Bianyue was unscrupulous in order to achieve her goal, and shook her head and said, "I hope she can really keep to herself like this forever." ”
After that, the two stopped talking about the moon, and quickly walked out of Prince Bao's mansion to the palace, these two are both elder brothers, and one of them is a prisoner, and the guards will not stop them.
When they arrived at the cold palace, the palace people hurriedly greeted them and saluted, and then said cautiously: "I don't know if the two elder brothers are here, what do you order?" ”
Hongli pondered for a moment and said, "Go and call all the eunuchs in the cold palace, and no one will be missed." ”
The palace people didn't know why he had such an order, but since they had spoken, they had to do it, and soon summoned all the eunuchs to Hongli and the two, a total of seven.
Hongyang glanced at it and said, "Which of you are in charge of taking care of the Nala clan?" ”
With his words, four eunuchs walked out, and it was Ling Ruozhi who came to monitor the Nala clan, in addition to a few of them, there were also four palace maids.
Hongli stared at the four eunuchs and said, "Recently, which of you has ever been out of the palace?" ”
One of them timidly walked out and said, "Back to the fifth elder brother, the servants and others are ordered to guard the Nala clan, and without the words of the noble concubine, no one will dare to leave the scope of this cold palace." ”
Another person also said: "Yes, Fifth Elder Brother, the slave's family brought a letter a few days ago, saying that the slave's mother was seriously ill, and the slave only asked people to bring some silver, and did not dare to leave the palace." ”
Whether they have left the palace or not, just go to the worship room to check, I believe they don't have the courage to lie, but if it weren't for these four eunuchs, who would be the one who spread rumors outside the palace.
Hongli said with a negative hand: "Recently, in addition to you, there are other eunuchs who have come to the cold palace, or you have talked to them about the cold palace, especially Jing Xinxiang." ”
Hearing this, the eunuchs shook their heads again and again, and said: "The servants have all been instructed by the noble concubine Niangniang, and they stay in the cold palace on weekdays, and it is rare to go out, even if they go out, they will never mention the matter of the cold palace, and the three words of Jingxin Xiang are even more taboo among the taboos." As for the other eunuchs, this cold palace was an ominous place, and no one came to it except for his father-in-law, who was in charge of three meals a day in the imperial dining room, and the servants never talked to him. ”
"Didn't you even talk about it unintentionally?" In the face of Hongday's questioning, several looked at each other and unanimously denied that there was no.
This is really strange, neither out of the palace, nor did I talk to others about it, how did the meditation incense leak out?
Hongli pulled Hongli aside and said, "Fourth brother, judging by their appearance, they shouldn't be lying, and if they are not strict-mouthed, how can they leak this matter after four years." ”
"You're right, but apart from the two of us, only a few of them are still in the palace now, so is it possible...... The thing came from the Old Summer Palace? Hongli frowned tightly, if this was the case, it would inevitably alarm Ling Ruo, and when the time came, it would not be up to him to control what step things would take.
"Not really, I think there's something else we've missed." As he was talking, a eunuch said cautiously: "Brother Qiqi, although no one has ever been to the Cold Palace, the Cold Palace has indeed discovered some strange things recently. ”
Hongday's spirits perked up, and he hurriedly asked, "What's the strange thing, say it quickly!" ”
"The slave still remembers that it was more than a month ago, when the slave and Shang Rong were responsible for looking at Nala at night, but suddenly, the slave felt a pain in the back of his neck, and then he didn't know anything, and when he woke up, he found that the slave and Shang Rong were asleep on the table, and asked everyone else and said that there was nothing special about it, Nala seemed to have been noisy in the middle of the night, but when she asked, she said that she was sleeping in a daze, and she couldn't remember clearly. This kind of thing has not happened before, so the minions didn't think much about it. ”
Hongli and Hongli quickly exchanged a look, if this little eunuch was not wrong, he and the palace maid should have been knocked unconscious at that time, that is to say, that person knows martial arts.
Hongtian said eagerly: "What else is there besides this?" Or has that ever happened in the future? ”
The little eunuch shook his head and said: "If you go back to the fifth elder brother, it will be just that once, although the slaves will occasionally fall asleep when they are on duty at night, but they are all sleepy, and they don't have neck pain like the first time." ”
Hearing this, Hongli frowned and said, "Do you often fall asleep when you are keeping vigil?" What if Nala kills himself while you're asleep? ”
When the little eunuch heard this, he quickly knelt down, and said with a sad face: "Back to the fourth elder brother, the slave doesn't know what's going on, he never fell asleep halfway through the vigil before, and at most he woke up soon after exchanging a nap, but in the past month, I don't know if it's because of the lack of autumn, sometimes I want to sleep." The slave swore that he would never do it again, and begged the fourth elder brother for forgiveness. ”
Hongli pondered his words carefully and said, "So, when I was keeping vigil with you, I also fell asleep?" After the eunuch nodded, he looked at the other four eunuchs and said, "Have you ever had the same situation when you were keeping vigil?" ”
One of the eunuchs lowered his head and said tremblingly, "No...... No. ”
Hongli suddenly accentuated his tone and said sharply: "Say, is there any?" ”
At his shout, all the eunuchs were frightened, and all knelt down, and pleaded guilty, and then several stammered and told their respective stories, all of whom had the same experience, that is, they were sleepy during the vigil, and then fell asleep.
Hongyang also heard that something was wrong, and said: "Fourth brother, something is wrong, it is not strange if a person occasionally falls asleep sleepily, but all of them have the same situation, and there must be ghosts among them." ”
