Chapter 54: Asking for clues, the palace gates are everywhere
Hearing these words in the ears of Chief Manager He was like a thunderbolt, he didn't know why Li Sheng would know that he had drunk tea at the Third Prince, and why did he mention this stubble, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that the Third Prince Jun and Princess Wenjin had a good relationship, which made Chief Manager He even more confused.
"Huh? This palace is a reward, why don't you accept it? The snarky tone sounded like a talisman to him.
Under the pressure of Li Sheng, Manager He took the tea tremblingly, and the tea leaves in the tea floated in his trembling hands, just like him in the palace.
was suddenly reprimanded by Li Sheng: "Drink!" Frightened, he slipped the tea in his hand to the ground, made a loud noise, and then plopped, Manager He knelt on the ground, trembling and begging for mercy: "The princess spares her life, the slave knows that it is wrong, and the slave knows that it is wrong......"
Li Sheng leaned back lazily, and his evil eyes looked at Manager He as if he was inadvertent: "Say it!" What kind of deed did you do behind your back, one thing is missing, watch your head carefully! β
Under the psychological pressure for a long time, Chief Manager He had already confused his thoughts, and he didn't know how much Li Sheng knew, so he could only pick on the charge and say: "The slave should not inform the third prince of the monarch's itinerary." I hope that the princess will remember the first offense of the slave and spare the slave's life! β
Li Sheng didn't speak, quietly listening to the sound of "dong dongβ" on the forehead of Manager He on the ground.
It wasn't until the tea in his hand bottomed out that he lazily asked, "Gone?"
Manager He's kowtowed head suddenly paused, his eyes rolled in his eyes, and he replied cautiously: "No...... Not...... Gone! β
Li Sheng said in a skeptical tone: "Really?"
Manager He became more and more unconfident, and his voice became smaller and smaller: "Really...... True...... It's true. β
Li Sheng laughed twice: "It seems that you are still not honest!" There's a new person in the palace, don't you know? β
Manager He's body collapsed and sank, thinking: It's terrible, I really know it. Princess Wenqin doesn't know what's going on?
At this time, Chief Manager He wished that Princess Wenqin was dead, as long as the person was not there, there would be no evidence, and I don't know if the one had been dealt with?
"Hmm~, why don't you say it?" Li Sheng then struck while the iron was hot.
"The slave knows, it's just that this person really can't be provoked! And since he came, the monarch doesn't want the slave to serve everything, what he did, the slave doesn't know! Manager He hurriedly shirked his responsibility.
Li Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly, listened to the loopholes in Manager He's words with a smile, and said, "When did this palace say what he did?"
"This ...... This one...... Well...... The princess had just mentioned him, and thought that he had done something that had displeased her. Mr. He secretly scolded himself for being a fool in his heart, and silently recited: If you say too much, you will lose, and if you say too much, you will lose......
Li Sheng snorted coldly, pretending that he had guessed his thoughts: "You are clever, after so long, can you figure out his habits?"
Chief Manager He was overjoyed in his heart, but he didn't expect to let himself be mixed up like this, habits, this can be said, seeing that the monarch trusted him so much, he really kept staring at him with two eyes during that time, and he also found a lot of strange behaviors.
At this time, he had been thinking about borrowing Li Sheng's hand to get rid of that person, and he had forgotten that some things were the complicity of several of them.
Xi Zizi's invitation: "This is really there, for the safety of the monarch, the slave has to keep an eye on him all the time!" As he spoke, he filled himself with a high hat of loyalty.
Li Sheng laughed disdainfully in his heart, and pretended to be interested and asked, "Let's talk about it quickly!"
Manager He stood up without saying anything, patted the dust on his body, looked flattering, and said with interest: "The servant followed him every day when he entered the palace for a few days, and finally found something unusual, every three days, he would go out of the palace, and I don't know where he was going." β
Then he remembered something, and pretended to be mysterious: "But once, just when he was about to leave the palace, something was delayed temporarily, as if his temper was extraordinarily irritable, and when he came back from outside the palace, he became as cold and arrogant as usual. The minions think this is suspicious! β
When Li Sheng heard the news, he straightened his back, this was a point that he ignored, why did he have to leave the palace every three days, can the monarch know about this, is it to go out to deliver information or what? Then he rolled his eyes and asked, "Then when should he leave the palace recently?" β
Chief Manager He thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Recently, the minions haven't seen him much, and the minions are also puzzled, and I don't know if there has been any change in his mood. So the time of the next time, the minion is not clear! β
Li Sheng unconsciously put his right hand on the table and knocked on the table, thinking that the prince of the Mo Dynasty was coming in the past few days, and the ghost mound had disappeared in the past few days, it was very likely that it was in his own dream, Wenqin had disappeared in the past few days, and the fifth prince had been rescued.
At present, the only thing that can be concluded is that the prince of the Mo Dynasty must have a constant relationship with the five princes......
The only line that could find Wenqin, Li Sheng didn't want to give up, and asked unwillingly: "According to the previous rules, when should he leave the palace?" β
Manager He looked at Li Sheng's face changing and changing, colorful, I don't know what this means, but it doesn't look like a good sign, and he doesn't want to increase his bad luck, so he answered honestly: "Tomorrow, go out of the palace from the north gate." I returned to my lodgings in the middle of the night. β
The north gate, an inconspicuous small door, here can go out of the palace on the four gates, there is a door in the south, east and west, and the purpose of each door is different, the east gate is used by the court officials when they go to court, the solemn majesty is self-evident, the tiger and cat at the door two golden stone carvings are lifelike, all the time no longer remind everyone that the person sitting above is their master.
The south gate is the door of receiving foreign envoys, there is a long road to enter the door, the walls on both sides of the road are carved with eight paintings in relief, according to the order, the first is the worship of the hundred officials, the second is the Qing Talks, the third is the bazaar, the fourth is the school, the fifth is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the sixth is the labor, the seventh is the yamen, the eighth is the sun, these eight paintings really reflect the hope of the ancestors, the prosperous Kangping, the selection of the virtuous, the industrious and rich, the punishment of the evil and the evil, the bright and the good. This is to let the envoys of the country see the purpose of our country, but I don't know how much the current monarch can remember.
The west gate is used by the palace concubine to enter and exit the palace gate, except for the queen can enter the palace from the east gate, accept the worship of hundreds of officials, the others can only enter through the west gate, step into the west gate, inside is a large square courtyard, every wall in the courtyard is red, one side is engraved with the three from the four virtues that women need to follow, one side is carved with the palace rules in the palace, one side is carved with the things done by the noble concubine of the predecessors, and the other side is carved with the fate of the concubine who made a mistake, every day the palace concubine enters the palace, she will come here, The nurturing grandmother will read the things carved on the wall to the palace concubine word by word, and only after the end can she go to meet the monarch.
