Accompanied by a strong stench, a huge black shadow descended and smashed directly towards Zengmei.

Zeng Mei was originally so frightened that she wanted to scream, but after living in the palace for many years, it has become instinct to obey the rules.

When that thing smashed into her, Zeng Mei thought of the rule in the palace that it was forbidden to speak loudly.

In this way, Zeng Mei, who couldn't dodge, gritted her teeth and was crushed under the stinky thing.

After all, she is also a palace concubine who has been pampered in the palace all year round, and Zeng Mei has not smelled such a disgusting smell for a long time.

She subconsciously held her breath and reached out to push the paralyzed thing on her body, but with this push, Zeng Mei suddenly found that what was pressed on her body seemed to be a person

It's just that the body is extremely cold, and Zeng Mei still feels a slimy, grease-like thing sticking to her fingertips.

Zeng Mei only felt that things were not good, and hurriedly crawled out, trying to see clearly by the light of the candle flame whether the thing pressing her was a corpse.

Finally crawled out, Zeng Mei kicked the thing farther away from her with her foot.

Then he turned and took an oil lamp from the shelf, and looked at it by the candlelight.

In an instant, what palace rules and etiquette models were all forgotten by her.

A sharp and piercing scream came out of Zeng Mei's mouth, and she actually saw the dead face of her brother Zeng Da.

Zeng Mei's voice was very loud, echoing through the big hole in the roof for a long time over the palace.

The palace people who were waiting outside the door were also startled by Zeng Mei's sudden voice.

They glanced at each other, not knowing if they should go in to check on Zeng Mei's situation, after all, this was Concubine Zeng's forbidden place

Fortunately, after that sound, the room was quiet again.

Zeng Mei's screams had stopped, she stared at her brother on the ground with wide eyes, and gasped violently: What the hell is going on, shouldn't the eldest brother be doing things outside, why did he die in her palace.

Two lines of tears slipped down Zengmei's face, I don't know if I was sad or scared.

Zeng Mei slowly stretched out her hand while crying, testing Zeng Da's snort.

After confirming that Zeng Da was indeed out of breath, Zeng Mei bit her lip and tried to hold back her tears.

Although she had no way to believe that her eldest brother had died inexplicably like this.

But after all, he is an old man who has been immersed in the palace for many years, and after being sad, Zeng Mei quickly calmed down.

She clearly realized what she should do now, she couldn't let her eldest brother stay in the harem, even if it was a corpse

Zeng Mei's brain was running wildly, and her voice just now was too loud, which should have attracted the attention of the night guard.

Maybe someone will find her side soon, so her top priority now is to hide her eldest brother's body first and make another plan.

Zeng Mei struggled to stand up, at this time she couldn't care about whether her legs were sore or not, she pulled Zeng Da's shirt hard, trying to drag Zeng Da under the shelf and hide it.

It's a pity that she hasn't done manual work for many years, and this pull didn't drag Zeng Da, but she stumbled and almost sat on the ground.

Fortunately, before she fell, she felt a hand behind her and drag her steadily.

Zeng Mei's nerves were already extremely tense, and the hand that suddenly appeared in this secret room almost frightened her soul.

Knowing that if she called again, she would definitely attract the attention of those guards, and Zeng Mei's whole body stiffened.

She craned her neck to try to stand firmly, but was restrained by the hand behind her, and then an eerie voice came from behind her: "Lao Tzu has been looking for you for a long time!" ”

Zeng Mei's eyes widened in shock, and this was the last sentence she heard in the world.

The guards of the imperial city did hear the sound just now, so they went to the gate of Zeng Mei's palace to inquire about the situation.

The palace people didn't know what was going on inside Zeng Mei, so they could only go out to deal with it, wanting to send those guards away.

It's also a coincidence, the person in charge of the night on duty happens to be from the imperial concubine's faction.

The queen and the imperial concubine have been at odds for a long time, so the people of the two factions are also fighting like black-eyed chickens on weekdays, looking for each other's faults every day, and wanting to put each other to death.

Seeing this person on duty at night, the palace skirt was a little panicked.

This person is also shrewd, seeing the palace people's upside-down words, even if he has to ask Concubine Zeng Shu to come out according to the palace rules, otherwise he will search the palace.

The palace people are also in a hurry, that Zeng Mei is still in the secret room and doesn't know what happened, how can this person search the palace at this time.

So the two passers-by were at a stalemate at the door.

The palace people were very worried, Zeng Mei didn't know what was going on, no matter how they called at the door, Zeng Mei didn't say a word.

And the patrol team was a little hard to ride.

In fact, this palace rule was set to prevent assassins from entering the palace to assassinate, but apart from the scream, there was no sign of outsiders breaking into the palace.

Therefore, this kind of palace search is dispensable.

Their original intention before was to come over to embarrass Concubine Zeng Shu and drop the queen's face by the way.

Originally, as long as that Zeng Mei showed up and said a few words, this matter would be over.

But who knew that this Concubine Zeng Shu was so stubborn that she didn't come out, and she didn't let them go, and she didn't fall into a dilemma if she didn't go.

The palace people were also very depressed, and they didn't know how to get rid of the patrol at the door.

Just as the people on both sides were looking for a way out for themselves, they heard a shrill voice in the distance: "Who is making noise here?" ”

Hearing this familiar voice, and then seeing the bright yellow imperial chariot in the distance, the palace people and the guards were stunned.

At the same time, several words appeared in their minds: "This is over".

It's really over.

This is the first time the emperor has stepped into Zengmei's bedroom, and it is also the last time.

Whether it is Zeng Mei, who has lost her breath, or Zeng Da, who was supposed to go out to run errands, but died of decay next to Zeng Mei, they are all challenging the emperor's nerves.

A person who can be the emperor has naturally seen everything.

He can acquiesce to his wives and concubines to make stumbling blocks for each other in order to clear the way for his son, and he can allow his sons to fight each other openly and secretly.

He can also allow the harem maid Rao Ming to fight in the dark, and even, he sometimes acquiesces that the situation in the harem can contain the previous dynasty.

However, he absolutely does not allow the appearance of an external model in his harem

Even though he has never touched this woman, Zeng Mei, he will not plan to touch it in the future.

However, he must not wear this green hat, let alone a green hat of a brother and sister
