Chapter 316: Interrogation

After a cup of tea, the saint finally eased up, blinked his eyes, and the whole person was a little more agile.

He had seen a lot of this kind of thing in the harem before, so he was reluctant from the bottom of his heart, and even told Zhan Ge that he wanted fewer women in the palace to settle down.

It's just that now, before much action, some people are so bold.

"Brother Zhan ......"

Before he finished speaking, Zhan Ge refilled him with a cup of tea: "Your Majesty, rest assured, this matter will definitely come to light, don't worry about it now, I'm here to accompany you, it's better for you to rest for a while, it may be more distracting later."

Shengshang shook his head slightly, it's okay to be scared, maybe there will be some at the beginning, but it's actually okay to react.

"It's okay, Brother Zhan, what did you mean by what you just said to Deputy Commander Qiu?"

Although the safety of the palace is a major matter, the choice of the commander and deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard is even more important, but because he didn't know much about it when he first took office, this matter has always been decided by King Sheng and Zhan Ge, and it has never gone wrong.

Zhan Ge glanced out, and after making sure that there was no one, he spoke.

"We have thought about this matter before, and it has been carefully considered, although Ah Rong and Qiu Blade have enough identities and abilities, but because of their youth, there are always some things that are not handled properly."

Shengshang frowned slightly: "Brother Zhan, I understand what you and Uncle Huang mean, but you can't deny them because of a mistake, and besides, these tricks in the palace are too inconspicuous and unguardable."

With a solemn face, Zhan Ge's expression was heavy: "Your Majesty, this matter cannot be hidden, so the two of them must be punished, so that they can block the mouth of the people in the court, besides, it is indeed they who did wrong."

This matter can't be hidden at all, rather than hiding it, it's better to say it in a bright way. The only way to silence those in the DPRK and China is to handle this matter perfectly before everyone speaks.

What makes Zhan Ge a little entangled, it is nothing more than one point, Xu Rong is the only son of the Duke of Wei, the previous son was seriously injured on the battlefield and died, and now he does not have a son and a half daughter, which is not appropriate.

Xu was aware of the entanglement of Zhan Ge, and after thinking about it, the saint made a decision.

"Brother Zhan, it's better to decide like this, Ah Rong is the only son of the Duke of Wei, the Duke of Wei is full of loyalty, and now his connections are withering, and today's events are not directly related to Ah Rong, so he will punish him as a disposition, as for the enemy blade, it is better to send it out for two years and let him come back."

Since this is the saint himself and it is a fact, there is nothing to hesitate, so Zhan Ge agreed: "Then do it, Qiu Blade, I'll talk to him."

In the dormitory next to him, Yan Wushuang smelled something slightly wrong as soon as he entered, although it was scattered because of the large number of people just now, but it still existed.

The delicate eyebrows were slightly raised, and he quietly covered his mouth and nose and walked in, and behind him, Gonggong Wei hurriedly bent over: "The county lord thinks that something is not appropriate?"

Yan Wushuang didn't rush to interrogate the woman, but first walked around the room, pointed to the white smoke rising from the incense burner and asked, "Gonggong Wei might as well guess what is in here?"

Father-in-law Wei leaned in and sniffed it, it was not too obvious, opened the incense burner and sniffed it carefully, and his face changed dramatically: "It's a slave's mistake, so let people take it out."

This is no longer a soothing incense, but a soothing incense that is very similar to the soothing fragrance, this kind of incense is very popular in the palace, but after the saint ascended the throne, the harem concubines of the first emperor were all locked up, and no one used it.

Different from the general acacia incense, which has a greater effect on women, this acacia incense has a strong effect on men, as for why it is so enjoyable now, that is another question.

"Let the imperial doctor come over and take a look, and see if there is any impact on Lin'er?"

"Yes, the minion will let people go."

Gonggong Wei personally took the incense burner out, took someone to ask the imperial doctor, and instructed the people who valued it to take a good look at the incense burner carefully, so as not to let anyone come and destroy the evidence.

After Yan Wushuang carefully investigated the dormitory and there were no other problems, he went to the screen, and the woman who was lying on the empty bed before was already kneeling there in a dress, although she trembled slightly, but it could be seen that the whole person was not too afraid.

The grandmother next to her saw Yan Wushuang coming in, and hurriedly asked for peace: "The slave maid has seen the county lord."

"Get up, do you know this woman? Are there anything dangerous to bring? Yan Wushuang was blocked by Gonggong Wei a few steps away from the woman, and it was safer to be like this.

Mama got up and shook her head respectfully: "County master, the slave maid has been in the palace for so many years, and the slave maid is also responsible for the affairs of the harem, and the slave maid has not seen this girl, the slave maid has searched it just now, there is nothing dangerous."

"That's good, have you asked the Praetorian Guards who are in charge of guarding the palace, and the eunuchs and palace maids who supervise the entry and exit of the palace personnel, how did this woman enter the palace?"

Not in a hurry to ask the woman, Yan Wushuang sat elegantly on the chair brought by the eunuch, holding a cup of hot tea, and felt a little relaxed.

Ever since I knew about it, I have been nervous, and it was only at this time that I was able to relax a little.

Mama took two steps forward diligently: "The slave has already asked people to investigate, and it is estimated that there will be results soon, the county lord can rest assured."

When Mama spoke, Yan Wu never left the woman's eyes, the woman's head was drooping, and the soft green silk covered most of her face, but at this moment her hand trembled violently, indicating that some of the words just now did hit her.

"This girl, please raise your head, maybe the county lord will take a look and know who you are related to?" Yan Wushuang's voice was very soft, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was like a breeze and drizzle, moisturizing things silently.

Her words didn't seem to have any deterrent effect, and the woman still hung her head motionless, but the two grandmothers waiting behind directly raised the woman's head, and even picked her long hair, so that her face could be seen clearly by Yan Wushuang.

Wushuang was slightly stunned at the first sight, this woman's face felt very familiar to her, but now that the concubines in the harem are no longer young, it is indeed a little difficult to think of when they were young.

Besides, she has been outside the palace for several years now, and sometimes her memory is not good, which is also a normal thing.

"This is ......" After thinking for a while, Yan Wushuang rubbed his chin slightly and said: "What is the relationship between Concubine Ying and you?"

The woman's eyes widened in an instant, from the original paralyzed sitting on the ground to kneeling on the ground, the whole person trembled, looking at him like this, everyone didn't know that this matter had something to do with Concubine Ying.

"Go and invite Ying Concubine over, and by the way, find out about Ying Concubine. Speaking of which, I don't seem to have seen Ying Concubine for many years, and she seems to be a very low-key person in my memory, but I didn't expect that she would be involved in this matter. ”

Yan Wushuang got up, and the luxurious skirt slowly slipped down, with invisible pride: "This girl, since you don't want to say anything, I can only invite someone over, I don't believe that Concubine Ying will watch you fall into the abyss of all this."

The woman's body trembled, but she still didn't want to speak.

Mama looked at the woman's face a little distracted, and hurried over: "County Lord, I heard that Concubine Ying's mother's family has a niece, who is upright for twenty-eight years, and she is quite like Concubine Ying, saying that there is no other possibility, but I am afraid that this woman is Concubine Ying's niece."

Thinking of Concubine Ying's character, Yan Wushuang frowned slightly and shook his head gently.

"According to my understanding of Concubine Ying, she will not be such a person, and King Sheng and Ah Ge have always been strict about sending women to Lin'er's side, Concubine Ying's life is very comfortable now, where is she willing to cause trouble for herself."

This is a double statement, even if there are many guesses, there is no way to prove it without Ying Concubine's direct explanation.

After Gonggong Wei went to tell Shengshang and Zhan Ge, Mama brought the woman over, and not long after Yan Wushuang sat down, the neatly dressed Ying Concubine was invited in.

It's just that, looking at her dress, Yan Wushuang raised her eyebrows slightly, and glanced at Zhan Ge, a little unbearable.

Ying Concubine Niangniang is now in her forties, in the palace, this age is already very big, from the palace when she entered the palace as a teenager, Ying Concubine has now spent more than 20 years in the palace.

It may be that the heirs are thin, so far Ying Concubine has no children, living alone in the palace, but today she is dressed in white, the pure white dress certainly looks beautiful, but the body worn by Ying Concubine is really like a filial piety dress.

"The concubine has seen Your Majesty, the prince, and the county lord." Ying Concubine knelt directly on the ground and saluted, her expression was calm, and she didn't look at the woman next to her.

The saint didn't speak, and Yan Wushuang didn't let go, but just pointed to the woman and asked Ying Concubine: "Ying Concubine Niangniang, I am also very familiar with you in this palace, who is this woman?" As long as the matter has nothing to do with you, it will not implicate you. ”

The meaning of this sentence was understood by everyone, but no one spoke to cover it up.

Only then did Concubine Ying turn her head to look at the trembling woman: "County Lord, she is the concubine's maiden niece, her name is Ji Yan."

"Since it's your maiden niece, why did she suddenly appear in Your Majesty's bedroom? His Majesty is not kind to you concubines, and he still lets you stay in the palace, and the treatment is much better than before. ”

The implication of Yan Wushuang is that Concubine Ying has no reason to meddle at all, and no matter what the Ji family says, it is also a scholarly family, although it is not a big official and rich person, it is also very famous, and there is no need to do it at all.
