Chapter 488: Suspicious Concubine
A few days ago? At that time, the little one was still in the patrol guard, and he was not transferred here to guard the temple gate! ”
In the face of Yu Panxi's inquiry, the guard guarding outside the dormitory obviously didn't know, so he had to shake his head, and his personality was a little shy.
Ah Ye has been following Yu Panxi's side since he became invisible, and when he saw the appearance of the guard, he couldn't help but pout: "It seems that there is really no one in this palace who can use it, and even such a young little guard has moved here to see the door." ”
Yu Panxi glanced at him without a trace, there were outsiders now, and she was not good at playing tricks with him. At this moment, she was thinking about whether she would find someone else to inquire or say that she would end here today and go back to the house first.
Just when she was still a little hesitant and tried to turn around and ask the others, the guards who didn't know what they didn't know suddenly remembered something, lowered their voices a little and said: "Ah yes, when the shift was changed this morning, the guards who were originally guarding here talked casually about it with Xiaoxiao, and on the night when the palace change was quelled, a concubine in the harem came once with ginseng soup, saying that it was to suppress His Majesty's shock." Heard...... The one who died. ”
The guard didn't know if this Yu Panxi was going to ask if this was the case, anyway, it wasn't a big deal, so he said it when he thought about it. But probably still has some scruples, and when he said the last sentence, his voice was now lowered, for fear of being listened to by others. However, when these words were heard in Yu Panxi's ears, it was as if he had received important news.
Several concubines in the palace are now helpless, without Mo Baozhou, the family outside obviously does not play a role for them, and it is understandable that they have heard the news and boiled some ginseng soup to visit the little emperor.
But why is it so coincidental? She had just found the ashes of the heart grass in the palace of the concubine, and now she learned that the concubine had personally boiled ginseng soup for the little emperor. Most importantly, it coincided with the time when the little emperor began to become delirious.
Many questions began to pop up in Yu Panxi's heart, but she didn't think about it at this time, but suppressed all these questions, and then touched a few gold leaves from her purse and stuffed them into the guard's hands: "Thank you, you can take these to drink two cups of tea." ”
Gold leaves, golden melon seeds, etc., are specially made for people with noble status to reward their subordinates. Although it may seem small, it is made of gold, which is much more precious and dignified than broken silver. Yu Panxi is now the regent princess, so she naturally brings one with her.
The guard was a little flattered and took it with both hands, the corners of his mouth were high, and he said a few words of thanks, as if he didn't expect that he could get so many rewards just by casually saying a message. These few gold leaves, not to mention tea, are enough for him to go to the tavern outside the palace to drink a pot of good wine!
Yu Panxi didn't seem to have any scheming when he saw him, but he still didn't forget to tell him: "This concubine went in first to bid farewell to Your Majesty, if someone asks, you will treat me as if I haven't spoken to you, you know?" ”
The investigation of the death of the concubine was originally in charge of Xifu, and she came to inquire, which was already considered overstepping her authority. If it spreads, I'm afraid that those ministers will be holding on to this matter and nagging about it again, which is really a headache to think about. I just hope that this little guard is clever and doesn't spoil her business.
As the so-called cannibalism is soft and short-handed, not to mention that this is still an unexpected reward, when the guard heard Yu Panxi's words, he naturally nodded like pounding garlic: "Don't worry, princess, the little one didn't say anything today." ”
These nobles have always been difficult to guess, and although they don't know why they can't talk about it to others, since they have been rewarded, then they just do as they are told.
Obviously, although this guard is not smart enough, he still has the most basic observations. Since he said so, he said that he had agreed to Yu Panxi's request and would definitely keep his mouth shut.
Seeing that the news and purpose he wanted had been achieved, Yu Panxi did not stay here for a long time, and went in to say goodbye to the little emperor. Anyway, no matter whether the latter can understand it now, her etiquette is the same, and she has always appeared in front of people with a noble and elegant posture, which makes people not think that the purpose of her entering the palace this time is to investigate the violent death of the concubine.
When Yu Panxi returned to the palace, Xiao Chumo had already finished the matter at hand and was waiting for her in the mansion.
"Didn't you say that this matter was handed over to Liu Suifeng and Xifu to investigate, why did you enter the palace alone so recklessly?"
Xiao Chumo's words sounded like reproach, but the available tone was worried. Obviously, he was worried that if the death of the concubine really hid many secrets, Yu Panxi would encounter danger when he entered the palace alone.
The latter understood what he meant, and knew that his move really made him worried, so he took his hand and shook it gently, as if he was coquettish: "I know that there are so many suspicious places, but the people in Xifu can't find out at all, don't I look anxious." Besides, I'm not in the palace alone, I'm accompanied by Ah Ye! ”
Ah Ye, who was about to leave, heard that he had been named, and turned his head a little stiffly, and his tone was also shy, as if he was a little weak-hearted: "That, if she has to go, I can't stop it!" Besides, I wasn't worried about her safety in the end, so I went with me! ”
What he said was the truth, before Yu Panxi entered the palace, he persuaded me I don't know how many times, and even when he was riding in the carriage, he was still persevering to dissuade him. But the latter is stubborn and can't listen to his persuasion at all!
Xiao Chumo probably knew his wife's temper, but he didn't mean to blame Ah Ye, he just glanced at him coldly, and then withdrew his gaze. The latter knew that he was not going to take care of himself, and was about to continue to interrogate Yu Panxi, and suddenly the wind under his feet hurriedly slipped away.
Anyway, Xiao Chumo was a paper tiger in front of Yu Panxi, and he was reluctant to even speak loudly, so there must be nothing to worry about here.
Yu Panxi saw that Ah Ye disappeared in an instant, and couldn't help but secretly make a note of "don't save when you see death" in her heart, and then she touched her nose, and her tone of weakness was the same as that of Ah Ye in Fang Cai: "Chu Mo, don't be so angry, there are still a lot of discoveries in the palace this time." ”
As she spoke, she pulled out a handkerchief that had been crumpled into a ball and stuffed into her purse, the same one she had used to wrap the ashes of the heart grass in the palace of the concubine before.
Probably because of the serious business, the expressions on the faces of the husband and wife have invariably become a little serious, and the banter of the previous fight has quietly faded at this time.
Yu Panxi saw that she had successfully changed the topic, so she sorted out the thoughts in her mind a little, and then told all the information she had investigated in the palace. Whether it was the origin of the medicinal properties of the Confusing Herb or the news found out from the guards, there was nothing to hide.
