Chapter 496: The Concubine's Secret

With this title, it is naturally impossible for the concubine to run out of this huge palace, even if she doesn't think about herself, she always has to worry about her mother's family in the previous dynasty. But if she is allowed to spend the rest of her life in an empty harem like this, what difference can she make from those sisters-in-law in the nunnery?

Under all kinds of impatience in her heart, the concubine moved her mind that she shouldn't move, and it just so happened that there would always be such a cowardly guy in the palace guard. After the two looked at each other and returned to the concubine hall, no one had to guess what the lonely man and widow could do.

However, this kind of thing is not ordinarily important, and if it spreads, it is even a felony of killing the head. Therefore, while the concubine dared to bring people back, she always kept things secret. Except for the need for these two first-class palace maids to cover for themselves, the rest of the people in the palace didn't know at all.

However, after all, the guard was on duty in the palace, and it was impossible to pass by the harem often, so the concubine often asked someone to meet secretly in the imperial garden, even if someone found out, she could find an excuse to fool around. Originally, these two palace maids stood far away to guard the surrounding situation for her every time, but recently, for some reason, the concubine always went out of the concubine hall alone and did not let anyone follow.

And the night the concubine fell into the water, in fact, the two palace maids knew that she had gone out, and even one of them went out of the room to ask if she needed to follow her with a lantern to illuminate it. But the concubine still refused, and for some reason she looked a little flustered. The two maids thought that she was going to have a private meeting with the guard again, so they very obediently went back to bed. I didn't expect that to happen the next day.

"Lord, what the slaves and maids said is true! The reason why he was bold and didn't tell the truth before was actually because of how could this kind of thing be said. Even if you say it, you will really blame it when the time comes, not to mention the concubine Niangniang, the slaves and maids will definitely not survive! ”

The two palace maids told everything they knew, and now they were already crying, wiping their noses and tears, obviously thinking of the fate of telling the truth.

But there was no way, and it wasn't their fault that they kept this secret. If they say it, the rules of the palace are only to ask them to directly accompany their master to the funeral; But if they don't say it, Xiao Chumo's side must know what they are hiding, those punishments really make people have no will to grit their teeth and stand up.

This secret dug out of the mouths of the two palace maids is really indigestible, after all, it is a concubine! And the crime is still the most disgusting and spurned fornication, if this matter is put in the people, it will be soaked in the pig cage!

- Although now the concubine has been drowned, and the way of death is not much different from that of immersing in a pig cage.

What the palace maid said didn't even Xiao Chumo expected, obviously he just wanted to find out the truth, but he didn't expect to stab such a big secret!

However, since the two interrogating grandmothers did not open their mouths to refute, presumably what these two palace maids said should be regarded as the truth. After all, these two people were interrogated separately, and even if they made up a story on the spot, it was impossible to make it exactly the same as what they said when they were interrogated alone.

There is no doubt about the authenticity of this secret, but it is precisely because of this that the faces of those present have changed. If nothing else, this kind of thing is about the royal face, even if the royal face is already fragile, but isn't there a regent guarding the royal family! The Xiao family has been loyal and good generals for generations, and now that they have heard this secret like this, is it possible for them to get out of here safe and sound?

There was a faint panic in everyone's hearts, Xiao Chumo's face was a little not good, but he also knew what the sudden change in the atmosphere in this hall was. After thinking about it, he still opened his mouth half-threateningly: "What happened here today, you should have not seen or heard anything, and the royal family will naturally not treat you badly." But if after going out, if the king hears the slightest gossip, then don't blame the king for being ruthless! ”

As soon as he said this, it was as if a sledgehammer hit the hearts of everyone present. Whether it was the people from the Punishment Division or those palace maids, all of them suddenly knelt on the ground at this moment, and the words in their mouths were all guaranteed according to what Xiao Chumo had just said: "Please rest assured, the regents have not heard anything today, and they are absolutely tight-lipped!" ”

They had all heard of the regent's methods, and at this time they naturally had no choice but to worry about their own lives. However, since Xiao Chumo had already said that, he naturally didn't intend to kill him on the spot, and it was precisely because of this that they were so anxious to show their loyalty to themselves.

Obviously, Xiao Chumo was quite satisfied with their performance, and after letting people get up, he also asked the accompanying guards to share some silver taels. He didn't have the means to win people's hearts by those women in the harem, but he also knew that slapping a sweet date was the most suitable way to gag these people's mouths.

After warning again, Xiao Chumo asked people to take the two first-class palace maids down and temporarily put them in the prison, and at the same time, he hurriedly sent someone to arrest the guard who dared to have an affair with the concubine. As for the crime, it is naturally impossible to say the real crime just like that, so the guard in charge of arresting people only knows that the guard who committed the crime was bold enough to steal the concubine's relics with the concubine's palace maid.

The things to be done have been done, Xiao Chumo walked out of the palace with Qianqiu, although the look on his face had returned to indifference, but there was something else in his eyes.

"I thought this matter should be so clear, but I didn't expect that there would be something else involved for you to see the joke."

He said this to Qianqiu, but it sounded like a casual emotion, which was completely different from the tone when he threatened those palace people in the palace just now. Obviously, he wasn't worried that Chiaki would tell him about it, and the latter didn't seem to be the kind of person who loved to chew on the root of his tongue.

Since the interrogation of those palace maids, Qianqiu has been quietly staying on the sidelines, looking at his nose and nose, looking like he doesn't care about anything. It wasn't until Xiao Chumo opened his mouth to talk to him that he finally smiled faintly, as if he was not affected by what happened just now: "The regent is too worried, since the concubine died strangely, it is natural that she should be traced clearly." As for these palace secrets, the concubines are no longer there, so let this secret be buried in the soil along with the coffin! ”

Xiao Chumo nodded: "This is natural. Speaking of which, whether it is His Majesty's illness or the concubine's violent death, it is thanks to you, it seems that the things promised to you before are not enough to repay the favor. ”

He intended to add some bargaining chips, but he didn't really want to repay the favor, but he had the idea of leaving this talent to serve the court.
