Chapter 32: Innocence
Pu Yangxu returned to the Taisun Palace is close to the evening, and now the news of the emperor's dementia has been blocked to death, all the major military affairs are handled by the Taisun, in order to control the situation of the various factions in the DPRK and China, the Taisun rarely spends time to inspect the defense of the capital, and today he walked all at once, and he was really a little tired.
He went back to the imperial city Taisun Palace from the outside and took a shortcut directly, and when he came back, he was not seen by too many Chinese people guarding the door, so after he appeared in the inner court, he was almost to the Qianqiu Palace, and the news was spread, and soon the errand eunuch of Luanyi Palace came to pass the word, saying that he had searched the residence of several concubines in Taisun Palace in the afternoon, and the Taisun Concubine had already taken a few palace people to inquire, and specially asked Taisun for instructions - the eunuch was only halfway through his words, Pu Yangxu waved his hand, and he didn't even want to say anything, he strode to the inner hall, and walked more than ten steps, Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he turned around and didn't see Chen Luo.
He immediately frowned, and said in a bad tone: "What about Chen Luo?" ”
"Back to His Royal Highness, Gonggong Chen just walked away, saying that he went to Luanyi Palace." The one who replied was the palace attendant who guarded the temple.
"What is he doing in the Luanyi Palace?"
The palace attendant couldn't answer in an instant, and knelt down tremblingly in fright, "The slave doesn't know." ”
Pu Yangxu just wanted to give another command, but another palace attendant kneeling by the door spoke first, "Back to Your Highness, it was the little eunuch of Changxinyuan who came to find Gonggong Chen and begged him to go to Luanyi Palace to testify for their master, and Gonggong Chen went." ”
Shen Tingnian - testifying? Pu Yangxu stood in place for a moment, he originally wanted to ask Chen Luoluanyi Palace what was being investigated, since others had gone, they would be handed over to him to dispose of, thinking so, he walked inside with his hands behind his back, walked and walked, and stopped.
"Did the little eunuch of Changxin Yuan come to Qianqiu Hall and only say that he was looking for Chen Luo?"
The little palace attendant was very clever, and repeated the words as soon as he opened his mouth: "The original words of the little eunuch are: My master sent a slave to ask Gonggong Chen for a favor and went to Luanyi Palace to testify, if it is inconvenient to come forward, then the slave has never come." ”
After listening to this, Pu Yangxu pinched his fists, this Shen Tingnian really didn't disappoint him, only for his sake of her, she would never take the initiative to come to him.
This thought shocked him. How could there be such a strange thought, he recruited her to serve the right people, he should have called them to come and go.
But Shen Tingnian's liking for this woman is too strange, shouldn't she think about him like everyone else, come to inquire about him if there is anything to do, and try her best to take the initiative to get his attention?
It may be that he paused too abruptly, and asked such a few strange questions, and Xu Yan, who followed him, asked very entangledly, "Your Highness, is there something wrong?" If you need a minion, do it......"
Pu Yangxu glanced at him and said angrily, "What do you know?" ”
"......" Xu Yan smiled dryly, "It's the slave who asked a lot, is this ...... In fact, the minions shouldn't be curious, most of the affairs of Changxinyuan are handled by the minions, how can there be something to testify to find Chen Luo. ”
No wonder he told this question, because the fact is that he and Chen Luo actually have a division of labor, and they are on duty in shifts on weekdays, but the things they are in charge of are not the same, Chen Luo is partial to the master, he is outside the master, that is, most of the things outside the Taisun Hall are handled by Xu Shi, and the things in the Taisun Hall are handled by Chen Luo, and the special food and clothing of the Taisun has always been personally checked by him.
It's good that he didn't say it, but when he said it, Pu Yangxu was also a little puzzled, but where did he have the spare time to ponder this, so he glared at Xu Xi immediately, "When Chen Luo comes back, let him come to the study, you now go and check the roster of soldiers brought back from everywhere today, and then send it to the study......"
Xu Xian clearly saw that he was in a good mood before he dared to speak, where did he dare to say anything at this time, and hurriedly responded.
###
Shen Tingnian sat with her head in her spirits for an afternoon, and when Zhao Jingyi interrogated Changxinyuan, she had taken a few naps, searched the palace one by one, and found a lot of things, but it was far from the real disaster that caused the Taisun Concubine Chen to vomit and the Taisun Concubine's stomach discomfort.
The first round of screening didn't find anything, and soon the second round came to make a medicine to induce vomiting powder, and found the flowers and plants of Changxinyuan, irises.
Laying out such a big scene, suddenly sang to the climax, Shen Tingnian finally came to some spirit, she took Min Yun beside her, got up from the seat and walked to the middle of the hall, everyone watched, behaved calmly, and her expression was as cold as ever, her eyes always disdained to stay on people, looking at everyone as if she was looking at a stone, without emotion.
Everyone's eyes were drawn in an instant, and even the grandson concubine Chen, who couldn't sit steadily with a sickly face, straightened her waist and looked at her with her concentration hard.
Needless to say, it's quite strange, this woman has such a charm, when you look at her, it's hard not to be bewitched by her appearance, her eyes squint, she raised her eyebrows, her every subtle expression, give people indescribable vividness and beauty.
Shen Tingnian raised his chin slightly, looking at Zhao Ting, who was in charge of the questioning of this matter instead of Zhao Jingyi, "Miss Zhao Ting had three questions just now, one was to ask what this pot of things was, the second was to ask if this thing was used to make medicinal powder, and the third was to ask who did this. ”
She repeated it word for word and sneered, "Shouldn't Miss Zhao Ting ask if this thing is from Changxinyuan first?" ”
"Is Shen Jieyu questioning the search of Luanyi Palace?" Zhao Ting immediately asked.
"It's not."
"Then why don't you recognize it from your Changxin Garden?"
"It's not mine, I ask what to recognize."
"Shen Jieyu, this is Luanyi Palace, everyone has no time to go around in circles and quibble with you." Zhao Ting's emotions fluctuated first, and the speed of the conversation between the two just now was very fast, so that the voice of you coming and going unconsciously increased.
Although Shen Tingnian's tone improved, his mood was still very flat, "I'm not quibbling, it's you pretending not to understand." ”
She looked back at the flower pot that had been placed aside, most of the irises planted in it were short of water, and the lace was withered and rolled up, "Now I want to ask Gonggong Chen to come out, and he will testify for Changxinyuan, to be exact, for me." ”
Chen Luo came in from the gate of the temple, and everyone was shocked.
Even Zhao Jingyi, who had been sitting on the main seat and had not spoken, put down the teacup and looked at Chen Luo who walked in inexplicably.
And there were actually a few people standing outside the hall that everyone couldn't see, and the people who watched the door outside knelt on the ground, and Pu Yangxu didn't let it be passed on, just so as not to disturb the people inside.
"I, Shen Tingnian has been in the palace for two years and seven months, and when I entered the palace, I was dressed in green clothes, a silver hairpin, and a bag of flower seeds," Shen Tingnian turned around under the eyes of everyone, half-open hands, "Today, I don't have any savings, and the courtyard is full of fragrance." ”
She Shen Tingnian is so nothing.
