When Concubine Li heard this, her face softened by three points, and there were two cases of one corpse and two lives in the palace, and now Chen Meiren is pregnant, so she has to take precautions.

Chen Meiren is worried about her own safety and the safety of the dragon seed in her belly, but it is reasonable.

The eunuchs and palace ladies around her are all people who have served her for a long time, and many of them have become her henchmen, so it makes sense for her to leave her henchmen by her side to take care of her own safety.

Concubine Li pondered for a long time and looked at Kou Ji.

She probably hoped that Koji would give her a satisfactory solution.

It's just that Kou Ji stared at her and didn't speak.

She frowned slightly.

Concubine Yang suddenly said on the side: "Sister, it's better to connect the Chen family to your palace and let the people in your palace take care of it." The people in Chen's palace were handed over to Kou Shumi for the time being, and let Kou Shumi take it back and hand it over. ”

Concubine Li was slightly stunned for a moment, feeling that what Concubine Yang said was reasonable.

Chen Meiren was worried that after the people in her palace changed, she would not be safe, so she could live in her palace temporarily.

Under her nose, with her staring, Chen Meiren's safety is not to worry.

Kou Ji is obviously unwilling to take people, although she can use her identity to suppress Kou Ji, but behind Kou Ji stands Zhao Zhen and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military.

Kou Ji's current attitude is the attitude of Zhao Zhen and the Manchu Dynasty.

She is not the queen mother after all, and she can't suppress Zhao Zhen and the Manchu Dynasty.

After pondering for a while, Concubine Li said, "Then let the Chen family temporarily live in the Mourning Palace." There are mourning families staring, but the mourning family wants to see who dares to do anything under the noses of the mourning family. ”

Chen Meiren heard Concubine Li's words, her eyes were slightly flustered, and she hurriedly said: "Niangniang, the concubine still wants to live in her own palace......

Concubine Li's brows furrowed for a moment, and she glared at Chen Meidao: "What?" You don't listen to the words of the mourners? ”

Concubine Li had signs of anger, and Chen Meiren didn't dare to anger Concubine Li, so she could only bow her head in submission.

Seeing this, Concubine Li snorted and ordered the two grandmothers beside her to leave with Chen Meiren.

Before leaving, Concubine Li stared at Kou Ji and said coldly: "You investigate the case and investigate the case, don't hurt people's lives, if you hurt people's lives, the mourning family can't spare you." ”

Kou Ji said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "If the slaves and maids take their own deaths, the ministers can't stop them." ”

"Humph!"

Concubine Li snorted heavily, and let her help her out of Chen Meiren's bedroom.

After Kou Ji waited for Concubine Li to leave with the people, he ordered the guards and eunuchs behind him: "Arrest people!" ”

The guards and eunuchs rushed up and captured all the palace ladies and eunuchs in Chen Meiren's palace.

Kou Ji asked the guards and eunuchs to take the palace ladies and eunuchs from Chen Meiren's palace to Han Meiren's palace.

Chen Lin was guarding in the Han Beauty Palace, and when he saw that Kou Ji had arrested all the people in the Chen Beauty Palace, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Is there a gain?" ”

While instructing the guards and eunuchs to send the people in Chen Meiren's palace into Han Meiren's dormitory, Kou Ji said to Chen Lin: "If you don't try it, how can you get something?" ”

Chen Lin realized that he had asked a stupid question, but there was no embarrassment on his face, he stared at Kou Ji and continued to ask, "The person was arrested according to your instructions, what are you going to do next?" Is there a big punishment? ”

Kou Ji glanced at Chen Lin and said, "The official family handed over this matter to me, and it's not you, why are you asking so much?" ”

When Chen Lin heard this, he didn't get up, but gritted his teeth on the side and said, "Our family wants to find out the person who is making trouble behind his back as soon as possible, and then punish him well."

Dare to do something to the heirs of the official family, our family will make him regret coming to this world. ”

Kou Ji understood Chen Lin's thoughts, but instead of echoing his words, he asked, "Didn't the official family already summon the people of Wu Desi into the palace before?" Wu Desi's people are in the palace, and they haven't received a little news? ”

Chen Lin's face was a little ugly and said: "Not long after the talents of Wu Desi entered the palace, the ladies of each palace already have their own henchmen, and it is difficult for Wu Desi's people to mix with them.

Therefore, the information heard by the Wu Desi detectives is very limited. ”

Kou Ji nodded thoughtfully and said to Chen Lin: "Since the people of Wu Desi have not received any rumors, then this case can only rely on ourselves.

You let people seal the bedroom of Han Meiren, and let those eunuchs and palace ladies starve in it first.

I'm going to meet my sister-in-law, she was a concubine of the official family before, and she has dealings with other concubines, she should know something we don't know. ”

Chen Lin opened her mouth, as if she had something to say, but in the end she didn't say it.

He nodded and agreed to Kou Ji's order, and sent a eunuch to take Kou Ji to meet the little sister of the Xiang family.

The little sister of the Xiang family was demoted from a concubine to a female official in the palace because she missed the hour on the road, and now she works as a steward in the laundry in the palace.

When Kou Ji arrived at the laundry in the palace, he saw the little sister of the Xiang family wearing a simple plain clothes, sitting on the edge of the well doing laundry.

Kou Ji frowned slightly, stepped up, and called softly.

"Little Sister ......"

The little sister of the Xiang family heard the familiar call, her body stiffened slightly, turned around, and saw Kou Ji stunned and said, "Brother-in-law......"

Kou Ji looked at the little sister of the Xiang family and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

In the past, when I first saw the little sister of the Xiang family, the little sister of the Xiang family was a proper little witch.

After only a few years in the palace, a little witch has been ground into a woman who can't be ordinary and docile anymore.

Kou Ji said dissatisfiedly: "Aren't you a female official in the palace?" When it comes to washing clothes, you just instruct other Gong'e to do it, why do you have to do it yourself. ”

Xiang Xiaomei wiped her hands, slowly stood up, and chuckled: "Brother-in-law, don't be angry, the laundry errand was taken over by Xiaomei voluntarily, not forced by others." ”

Kou Ji frowned and did not speak.

Xiang Xiaomei explained softly: "Most of the people who are assigned to the laundry room are poor people. One by one, they have been in the laundry room for a long time, and they all have some symptoms.

The little sister couldn't bear to drive a group of them who were seriously ill, so she took the initiative to take over their errand. ”

The laundry room is definitely the worst place in the palace.

Summer was fine.

In winter, it is necessary to wash clothes with cold water, and in the absence of certain warm measures, various illnesses will follow.

But almost anyone who spends a lot of time in the laundry room will get sick.

Koji had only heard of it before, but had not seen it.

Now that he arrived at the laundry room, he heard the words of the little sister of the Xiang family, combined with the frequent coughing sounds coming from the hidden doors, he finally understood how evil the laundry room was.

Kou Ji frowned and said, "In a few days, I'll find Chen Lin to change your place." ”

When the little sister of the Xiang family heard Kou Ji's words, she shook her head slowly, and she smiled at Kou Ji: "It's good here, it's a little hard, but it's not so much trickery."

Everyone snuggled together and depended on each other, but there was a little more warmth. ”

Kou Ji frowned and was about to open his mouth to advise, and went to listen to the little sister of the Xiang family continue: "The harem is not a place where my brother-in-law can easily set foot in, and my brother-in-law can come to see my little sister now, so I think I have something to ask my little sister ......."

Speaking of this, the little sister of the Xiang family smiled at Kou Ji and said, "I just heard that Han Meiren was killed, and one corpse and two lives. The brother-in-law came to find the little sister, did he want to hear some news from the little sister. ”

Kou Ji said in a deep voice, "This is not the place to speak. ”

The little sister of the Xiang family was slightly stunned when she heard this, "That brother-in-law followed the little sister to the room......"

The little sister of the Xiang family took Kou Ji to a side room in the laundry room, and after inviting Kou Ji to sit down, she made a pot of bad tea for Kou Ji, and said with a little embarrassment on her face: "The good tea in the palace is used by the officials and the ladies of the palace, and the little sister has no good tea here to entertain her brother-in-law." ”

Kou Ji waved his hand and said, "It's okay......"

The little sister of the Xiang family carefully poured tea for Kou Ji, Kou Ji took a few sips, and asked straight to the point: "How much do you know about the murder of Han Meiren?" ”

The little sister of the Xiang family shook her head slightly and said: "The little sister is just a little female official in the palace now, and the little sister doesn't know about the murder of Han Meiren." However, Han Meiren has a grudge against someone, and the little sister knows a thing or two.

The ladies of the palace, who has a good relationship with whom, who has a bad relationship with whom, and the little sister also knows a little bit about it. ”

Kou Ji groaned: "You mean, Han Mei has enemies in the palace?" ”

The little sister of the Xiang family sighed and said, "Who is a concubine in this palace, who has no enemies." Sometimes if you drink a sip of water, you may have an enmity with someone. In this palace, you have to do things carefully, walking on thin ice, in order to live a long time. ”

Speaking of this, the little sister of the Xiang family looked at Kou Ji with a grateful face, and said, "When the little sister first entered the palace, she offended many people because she said the wrong thing. But everyone in the palace knows that you are my brother-in-law, so few people embarrass me.

Father-in-law Chen, Queen Mother, for your sake, take care of me many times.

If it weren't for her brother-in-law, my little sister might not have survived this time. ”

Kou Ji said in a deep voice: "It's all a family, why be so polite." You are my wife and sister, and I should take care of you. At the beginning, my grandfather-in-law was still here, and I couldn't stop the people of the family from sending you into the palace.

Now that the Xiang family has lost their power, your fate will no longer be controlled by them.

Stay in the palace for a few days and take care of yourself.

In a few days, I will find a way to get the official family to let you out of the palace. ”

When the little sister of the Xiang family heard this, she smiled and said, "My brother-in-law's mind, the little sister has written it down." It's just that my little sister used to be a member of an official family, and even if she left the palace, no one dared to marry me.

It's good that my little sister has stayed in the palace all her life. ”

Kou Ji frowned and scolded: "Nonsense, you are still young, and the official family has never touched you, and I have never seen you as a concubine." Why can't you marry after you leave the palace? ”

The little sister of the Xiang family smiled and said: "The official family is close to you, for the sake of your face, you can not care about this time, but what about the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty?" What about the world? Although I am a complete body, I am a woman who has been an official after all.

How can a woman from an official family marry someone else, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will not agree, and the world will not agree.

The official family is now wise and powerful, and there are countless people who defend the official family.

The little sister left the palace, and if she remarried, she would inevitably be pointed out by the thousand husbands.

The husband's family will not stand up for the little sister, and the mother's family will definitely try to avoid the little sister, only the sister and brother-in-law will take care of the little sister.

But my little sister has already caused you a lot of trouble, how can she cause you trouble for a lifetime. ”

The little sister of the Xiang family said this with a smile, but Kou Ji heard a deep sadness from it.

Kou Ji heard the words of the little sister of the Xiang family, and was slightly distressed, but said with a smile on his face: "Nonsense...... Your brother-in-law and I are now above 10,000 people under one person, how can I not protect you as a little woman.

If you are afraid of being pointed out by a thousand people after leaving the palace, then I will find a place where no one knows you, let you marry and have children, and live a prosperous and healthy life. ”

The little sister of the Xiang family was slightly stunned, and said in a low voice: "The whole world is ......"

Without waiting for the little sister of the Xiang family to finish speaking, Kou Ji glared and said, "Nonsense, the world is big." There are too many places that the court can't control, and you can't count them. ”

The little sister of the Xiang family sighed for a while, "Brother-in-law can really find a place that the eyes and ears of the imperial court can't see?" ”

Kou Ji nodded solemnly.

Xiang Xiaomei gritted her teeth and said, "Brother-in-law, can you rescue the sisters in the laundry room together?" ”

Kou Ji frowned slightly.

It is a very difficult thing to get people from the palace.

Kou Jilao went out to the little sister of the family, and he had to be blamed, and it seemed a little inappropriate to fish for others.

Seeing Kou Ji's frowning, the little sister of the Xiang family seemed to see Kou Ji's thoughts, and she hurriedly said: "They won't let their brother-in-law rescue them in vain, they are mostly old people in the palace, and they all know some unknown things in the palace."

The little sister has not been in the palace for a long time, and the clues she can provide to her brother-in-law are limited.

But what they can provide to their brother-in-law is beyond his imagination.

Some of the news in the palace that the little sister knew was also heard through their mouths. ”

Hearing this, Kou Ji groaned for a moment.

Xiang Xiaomei hurriedly explained: "Xiaomei is not insatiable, nor is she embarrassed brother-in-law. It's really that they are too pitiful, even so, they still take care of their little sister openly and secretly.

Their kindness to the little sister cannot be forgotten.

Now that there is a chance to escape, Xiaomei can't abandon them. ”

Kou Ji said in a deep voice, "Can they really give me useful information? ”

Xiang's little sister hurriedly said: "I can't guarantee others, but there is one person who definitely has the news you want." ”

"Who?"

"Aunt Mei......"

Kou Ji pondered for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Then you call them over, if the information they provide is enough for me to save their lives, I will naturally try to rescue them." ”

Xiang Xiaomei nodded solemnly.

She went out the door to greet the laundry people.

Kou Ji ordered the eunuchs who came with him to guard the door of the laundry room.

Not long after Kou Ji returned to the room, the little sister of the Xiang family brought a group of old, weak, sick and disabled to the room.

Xiang Xiaomei said that they are a group of poor people, and they are really a group of poor people.

There was not much blood on their faces, and they were skinny like a skeleton of bones.

Many of them have symptoms, some of them are coughing with their mouths covered all the time, and some of them are not easy to walk.

Aunt Mei mentioned to the little sister of the family is an old woman in her fifties, with empty eyes and no eyeballs.

The collection of women in the palace is very strict.

But all the women who are sent to the palace are all able-bodied.

Aunt Mei's eyes were gone, and she must have been gouged out.

After the old palace ladies arrived in the room, they stumbled and saluted Kou Ji.

Kou Ji sighed and said, "It's all like this, you don't need to give me a gift, and I'm not the kind of person who cares about etiquette." ”

When the palace ladies heard Kou Ji's words, they stood aside one by one tremblingly.

The little sister of the Xiang family helped Aunt Mei to Kou Ji.

Aunt Mei stared at an old face without eyeballs, and said in a slightly hoarse voice to Kou Ji: "I heard from the girl, Kou Shumi is willing to rescue us slaves?" ”

Kou Ji said indifferently: "It's not about rescuing or not rescuing, I need to know something, and you happen to know." If the news you have given me satisfies me, I will naturally find a way to get you out of the palace.

It's just a deal from start to finish. ”

Koji describes everything as a transaction.

When Aunt Mei heard this, not only did she not get angry, but nodded gratefully.

Aunt Mei said to Kou Ji: "Kou Shumi wants to know what news, the slave knows that such a big thing has happened in the palace, and the news has already spread to the laundry room." The slaves don't know much, but they can help Kou Shumi. ”

Speaking of this, Aunt Mei looked back at the other palace ladies, "Tell Kou Shumi everything you know." ”

Aunt Mei seemed to have a lot of prestige among the palace ladies, and after she said this, the palace ladies nodded in unison.

Seeing this, Kou Ji was stunned, "You trust me so much? ”

Koji only offered the deal and didn't deliver on it.

Aunt Mei and the others were all people who had experienced a lot of deception in the palace, and she was so gullible about herself, which made Kou Ji feel a little surprised.

Aunt Mei turned her head, faced Kou Ji, and said with a low smile: "Although the slave maid is in the palace, the slaves and maids have heard of Kou's reputation and deeds.

Although Kou Shumi's secret is not a promise, almost everything you promised has been done.

What's more, with your identity, you won't be able to deceive us as a bunch of slaves.

So we believe in you. ”

Kou Jiba clicked his mouth, not knowing what to say.

It is a joy to be trusted.

But Koji didn't know what was wrong, he just couldn't be happy.

Seeing that Kou Ji didn't ask any more questions, Aunt Mei gave an order to those palace ladies.

Those palace ladies came to Kou Ji one after another and told Kou Ji some of the secrets they had experienced in the palace.

What they said was careless, but Koji was very sad to hear.

Kou Ji knew that the court of the Great Song Dynasty was very chaotic, but he didn't expect it to be so chaotic that it would be unbearable.

In the court, the struggle between the concubines and concubines of the palace was almost to the point where everyone participated.

But no one in the palace can escape the struggle between the concubines and concubines in the palace.

Fight for favor, fight for solid pet, fight for the birth of the prince' fight for some small rewards.

Kou Ji originally thought that what Xiang Xiaomei said would be hated if he drank more water was an exaggeration, but after listening to the description of the palace laves, Kou Ji knew that what Xiang Xiaomei said was not exaggerated at all, and the reality was far more exaggerated than what Xiang Xiaomei said.

The concubines of the two palaces, just because when they met with the official family, one of them brought an extra bead flower, they formed a mortal enemy, and they put each other to death behind their backs.

Similar examples abound.

Kou Ji listened to it sadly.

There are many things described by the palace ladies, and there are also some useful information for Kou Ji, and Kou Ji secretly remembers it in his heart.

By the time the ladies had finished describing it, Kou Ji had already memorized the information that was useful to him.

Kou Ji looked at Aunt Mei.

Among the information provided by the palace ladies, although there is what Kou Ji needs, it is not much, and it is not enough for Kou Ji to find out who is behind the scenes, and at most catch a few small roles.

Xiang Xiaomei said that Aunt Mei must have the news she wants.

Kou Ji expects Aunt Mei to provide her with useful news.

Although Aunt Mei didn't have eyeballs, when Kou Ji looked at her, she seemed to feel Kou Ji's gaze and smiled at Kou Ji.

Aunt Mei whispered to the little sister of the Xiang family, and the little sister of the Xiang family helped Aunt Mei to come back to Kou Ji.

Aunt Mei faced Kou Ji and said in a low voice: "The slave maid doesn't know much news, because the slave maid was gouged out of her eyes a long time ago and sent to the laundry room.

The slave only knew that there was such a person in the palace, who hid very deeply, and did not leave a trace of what he had done, so he couldn't catch it if he wanted to.

The slave had accidentally seen something she shouldn't have seen before, and someone had her eyes gouged out.

At first, the slaves and maids didn't know who sent someone to gouge out the slaves' eyes, and they didn't know what they didn't see.

It wasn't until Zhang Guifei and Han Meiren died one after another that the slave remembered in a trance that she saw something she shouldn't have seen, and her eyes were gouged out. ”

Aunt Mei paused slightly when she said this.

Kou Ji's brows were already furrowed, and he had a hunch that the person in Aunt Mei's mouth was likely to be the key person he was going to track.

Kou Ji asked in a deep voice, "Who is it?" ”

Aunt Mei slowly opened her mouth, but before she could speak, she suddenly remembered an exclamation outside the door.

"It's out of the water!"

"It's out of the water!"

“……”

Kou Ji's face changed.

The people in the room looked frightened, and there was an urge to run.

Only Aunt Mei said calmly: "It's really fast......"

Kou Ji immediately looked at Aunt Mei and asked, "Do you know who it is?" ”

Aunt Mei said indifferently: "When you arrived at the laundry room, you reminded the other party, and the other party remembered the slave maid." ”

Kou Ji said almost without hesitation: "Go!" ”

The little sister of the Xiang family helped Aunt Mei, but Aunt Mei grabbed Kou Ji's hand and drew strokes in Kou Ji's hand with her fingers.

Kou Ji led them out as he felt the strokes of Aunt Mei's words in his hand.

After Aunt Mei finished painting, Kou Ji looked shocked.

Aunt Mei seemed to feel Kou Ji's astonishment, and said in a low voice: "If the slave and maid don't die, I'm afraid the other party won't be at ease." What the slave and maid tell you is just the slave's speculation, if you don't have empirical evidence, you must not expose this matter, otherwise what will happen, the slave and the maid will not dare to say. ”

"You follow me, and I'll take care of you."

Kou Ji stared at Aunt Mei and said solemnly.

Aunt Mei showed an ugly smile and whispered, "If the slaves and maids don't die, they will die." Just take care of them. If Kou Shumi really has a heart, after the slave and maid die, the slave's bones will be sent back to his hometown.

Buried under the old tree behind the mountain in his hometown. ”
