Chapter 19: Murder in the Palace

Zhao Xu rushed to the gate of the palace without stopping, and the Praetorian Guards standing at the gate did not stop him, they had already received orders from above, and the emperor allowed him to ride a horse in the palace.

He hurriedly rushed to the Daqing Palace, where the emperor was, and Gao Huailiang told him that the messenger told him to go directly to the Daqing Palace

Zhao Xu didn't know that when he was galloping on his horse, the atmosphere in today's Daqing Palace became extremely dignified.

The eunuchs and palace maids were in a hurry, and acquaintances didn't say hello when they met, just passing by, exchanging a meaningful look at most.

The outside of Daqing Palace looked very depressed, the palace maids and eunuchs were standing outside the palace, no one dared to move, only panicked eyes glanced at the palace from time to time, with panic in their eyes.

Dong Xuanye and Liu Hongqing were not qualified to enter here, so they had to wait outside the palace gate.

Therefore, Zhao Xu entered the Daqing Hall of the palace without any hindrance, and handed a piece of gold to the little eunuch who guarded the door.

Don't look at these little eunuchs, they don't have much power, but if they make it bad, they will be more ruthless than anyone else, Zhao Xu doesn't want to be planted in the hands of such a little eunuch in the future.

The eunuch's body is incomplete, and his heart is very perverted, and he has no part in being an official, only money is their only pursuit.

Especially when they see real money, their eyes will shine, otherwise all dynasties and dynasties would not have the right to emasculate money to reach millions of dollars.

The little eunuch's eyes lit up when he saw the gold handed over by Zhao Xu, just like a fly smelling fishy.

Naturally, he was very grateful to Zhao Xu, and Zhao Xu wanted to ask him a little bit about why His Majesty asked them to enter the palace.

Before he could ask, Zhang Dejun, the big eunuch here, had already hurried out from inside and ran out. [.A lot of good novels]

"Yo, General Zhao Xiao, you're here, come in with the minions, the emperor is angry, and several generals are here."

Zhang Dejun's face was full of anxiety, and he pulled Zhao Xu to walk in the Daqing Palace.

Zhao Xu was pulled by him and walked inside:

"I said Grandpa Zhang, you slow down, what is the emperor looking for me?"

"I said General Zhao Xiao, don't ask, don't dare to say if you ask the minions, you look at the Praetorian Guards around here, you will know when you go in."

Zhang Dejun's speed did not decrease, and he pulled Zhao Xu into Daqing Palace a few steps faster.

Originally, Zhao Xu felt that there was something more here today, and after Zhang Dejun's reminder, it turned out that there were many more Praetorian Guards around.

Not long after, they came to the inner hall of Daqing Palace, and Zhang Dejun bowed:

"Your Majesty, General Zhao Xu has arrived."

"Weichen Zhao Xu sees the emperor, may my emperor live long live long live." Zhao Xu made a big salute on the ground in a proper manner.

Although as a modern person, this kind of etiquette is relatively repulsive, but he feels that it is still indispensable.

"Zhao Aiqing, let's be flat." Chai Rong's face was very bad, it seemed that something had happened.

Zhao Xu took a look, and the people around him were Chai Rong's confidants in the forbidden army, Zhang Yongde, and even his father Zhao Kuangyin was there.

What makes Zhao Xu strange is that if there is a big event, why is Sangong Jiuqing not there? It seems that it should be the emperor's private matter.

Chai Rong turned his face to Zhao Kuangyin and said:

"Kuang Yin, can you tell Zhao Xu what happened?"

Zhao Kuangyin said that he obeyed the order, and he roughly told Zhao Xu what happened in the palace with Zhao Xu.

It stands to reason that Zhao Xu's official position is not big, and he can't contact such secrets, but Zhao Kuangyin is Chai Rong's brother.

Zhang Yongde is a good old man, and he is Chai Rong's cousin-in-law, speaking of his own family, he is the most trusted person in Chai Rong.

After Zhao Kuangyin's explanation, Zhao Xu finally knew what was going on. It's two simple words: kill.

Chai Rong killed someone, it is very common for the emperor to kill someone, all the people in the world are Chai Rong's people, and no one dares to speak when he kills someone.

The key is that Chai Rong is a wise gentleman, and he boasts that he will not careless of human life, but this time he killed two palace maids with his own hands.

This was originally nothing serious, and he didn't need to call a few of his henchmen over, but he was the one who killed him when he was not sober for a while.

Last night, Chai Rong was late in the Daqing Hall to review the recital, so he instructed the imperial dining room to prepare some supper reads for him.

After a while, the two little palace maids brought some pastries and some light tonic broth, exuding an attractive fragrance.

Perhaps because Chai Rong was really hungry, he quickly finished the pastries and drank the broth.

Chai Rong, who had finished his supper, was in good spirits, so he was ready to review the recital again, and he was determined to be a Ming Jun every night.

But just as he was about to continue his "work", he suddenly felt dizzy, and then he felt that his eyes were dark and he didn't know anything.

When he woke up, the two palace maids were already lying on the ground, as if they couldn't die anymore, and they were stabbed with swords all over their bodies.

He was also injured, Chai Rong didn't know what was going on, and immediately let Zhang Dejun in.

Zhang Dejun happened to be instructed by him to deliver medicine to the queen tonight, so he was not around.

Zhang Dejun happened to come back at this time, and when he heard the emperor calling himself, he immediately ran in, and saw that the emperor was covered in blood, so he hurriedly called the Praetorian Guards and the imperial doctor.

After bandaging the wound on Chai Rong's body, the imperial doctor's nose moved, and then he saw the bowl of broth.

After some testing, the physician concluded that the residue of the broth was highly toxic and could kill people instantly.

Chai Rong was thrilled when he heard this, and cold sweat couldn't stop dripping, only he was secretly glad.

When he was in trouble, he met a Taoist priest who was immortal, and he said that he would be unspeakably expensive in the future, and gave him a thousand-year-old He Shou Wu, saying that it would not invade a hundred poisons in the future.

Maybe it was because of this He Shou Wu that he was not poisoned, and he just felt in a daze that someone was going to kill him.

He could only instinctively draw the sword next to him to resist, perhaps he inadvertently stabbed these two people to death.

Thinking about it, I am really afraid, the forbidden palace is heavily guarded, and the emperor's diet is even stricter, but this can make that person poison, and the lives of others are not guaranteed at all.

Chai Rong was furious and ordered to immediately surround the imperial dining room and strictly investigate, but when the Praetorian Guards arrived at the imperial dining room, all the people inside were dead.

Now the matter is even bigger, Chai Rong immediately summoned Zhang Yongde and Zhao Kuangyin into the palace to discuss what to do.

He didn't dare to poke out that he was poisoned, that would cause an uproar and give people with ulterior motives a chance to succeed.

The residences of the two palace maids were also surrounded, and no one should think of entering without the emperor's decree.

After this explanation, Zhao Xu understood that it was not as simple as Chai Rong's murder, it was basically Chai Rong who was assassinated, but he didn't know who the murderer was.

This is the reason why he is really angry, those palace maids and eunuchs outside are the people who usually have a good relationship with these two palace maids.

Maybe they didn't know anything about it, but it was also possible that there were also their accomplices, and Chai Rong didn't dare to be careless and let people spy on them.

Zhao Xu understood that this was a conspiracy, he believed that Chai Rong was also like a mirror in his heart, and the reason why Chai Rong called a few of them was to really trust them.

Zhao Xu said to Chai Rong: "Then what does Your Majesty want us to do?" ”

"I want you to find out who is so bold to come to the palace to murder me, if this matter can't be publicized, I will let Dali Temple investigate it well."

Saying that, Chai Rong coughed a few more times, quickly wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and then put the handkerchief up without leaving a trace.

Others may not have noticed, but Zhao Xu, who saw it, did find that there was a slight crimson on it.

"No wonder Chai Rong died young, it turned out that he had been sick for a long time, maybe this poisoning also had a lot to do with it." Zhao Xu thought silently in his heart.

"You are all the people I trust the most, I will give it to you, and you must give me a good investigation. cough cough cough ......"

Chai Rong didn't finish his sentence and coughed violently, and Zhang Dejun hurriedly came up to give Chai Rong a smooth breath.

He also wanted to teach the imperial doctor, so Chai Rong stopped him, and Chai Rong asked Zhang Yongde and them to continue to investigate this matter.

Zhao Xu and the three of them saluted and retreated, and they could only hear Chai Rong's coughing.......
