Chapter 281: The Little Eunuch Deliberately Concealed It
"Hey, what are you doing?" Early this morning, An Jieyu hadn't woken up yet, but Xin'er heard messy footsteps at the door.
He walked forward, but saw a group of palace people standing at the door.
"Disturb An Jieyu, I have been ordered by the emperor to search the Evergreen Palace with all my might." After the palace people who took the lead said this, as soon as they raised their hands, a team of palace people immediately walked in neatly.
"Search carefully and don't miss a corner." Take the lead in the palace humane.
Everyone said yes and began to rummage through one by one.
An Jieyu's state is not optimistic, she sleeps more time a day than she wakes up, and she is intermittently irritable, at this time, Xin'er walked a few steps to her bedside.
"Please be lighter, Jieyu is not in a good state, and the slave is afraid that it will affect her." Xin'er was sincere and said to the palace people who searched it.
The palace man who searched agreed, and immediately moved lightly.
After a search, he was busy for most of the day, but he gained nothing, and the little eunuch who poisoned the side hall was restless at this time.
The little eunuch was frightened, seeing the emperor's order, and the palace people were so fanfare, he was so frightened for a while that he wanted to turn himself into air and disappear in front of everyone's eyes.
He immediately remembered Yan Jieyu's words, and the little eunuch secretly prayed to them not to search for him, "Please ask the gods and Buddhas to bless you, don't search for the slaves." The little eunuch prayed in a low voice.
However, I am afraid of what will come.
The first day was nothing, and on the second day and the third day, they came again.
The palace people who took the lead in the search walked towards the outside of the Evergreen Palace at this time, walking through the corridor step by step, and at the end of the corridor was a small courtyard.
After searching for so long, I didn't see any clues, and the palace people who took the lead were a little anxious.
The emperor gave a death order, this matter must be investigated to the end, if this Evergreen Palace can't find anything, I'm afraid the emperor will be furious.
The palace people walked outside while thinking about a solution.
As he was walking, he suddenly heard the sound of bees "buzzing".
At this time, most of the flowers have already withered, and this small courtyard in the Evergreen Palace only has a few evergreen trees, and there are no flowers.
Why did this bee get here?
The palace people were curious to see the bees flying one by one, and then quickly disappeared under a big tree in the courtyard.
This time my curiosity is even worse, and I vaguely feel in my heart, is there a connection between bees and An Jieyu's illness? Just as he was thinking about it, he came to the bottom of the big tree.
But under the big tree, there was a small earthen bag that was slightly raised, and those bees gathered on the small earthen bag, and it did not disperse for a long time.
"Someone!" The palace man who took the lead called out, and someone immediately followed.
The palace man who took the lead glanced at everyone, and then gestured with his hand to let everyone see the group of bees, which had gathered here for a long time and had not dispersed.
"How did the bees get here at this time?" One of the guards said, "Bees like scent, is there something buried here?" ”
"You have been searching for days, have you made any progress?" The palace man who took the lead asked the people behind him, and everyone shook their heads.
"Go and fetch torches, and I'll see what's so strange under this big tree." The palace man who took the lead commanded.
Someone agreed, so he went to find a lot of hay, lit it with a fire fold, and the palace man who took the lead carried a torch and walked towards the big tree.
The flames filled the air, and thick smoke rose from the air. Everyone covered their mouths with their sleeves, and the palace man who took the lead threw the torch at the swarm of bees.
After a while, the bee flapped its wings and fled.
The small dirt bag that had just been full of bees had become clean by this time.
The palace man who took the lead took a closer look, and the soil bag was attached to the new soil, and it was obvious that the soil here had just been dug up.
The palace people didn't have time to look for a hoe again, so they took out the dagger on their waist and dug up the earth.
Just dug a few times, a strange fragrance came to the nose, it turned out, it was this strange fragrance that attracted the bees, take a closer look, the source of the fragrance is the medicinal powder. Three k
The palace man tore off a piece of the corner of his clothes and carefully wrapped the medicinal powder for inspection.
"Summoning all the people of the Evergreen Palace here, and asking them who has been here." The palace man who took the lead said again.
After a while, the subordinates of the Evergreen Palace came.
"Let me ask you, who's been here lately?" The palace people who took the lead swept their sharp eyes like a sharp sword, and everyone lowered their heads in panic.
"Don't say yes, I have a way for you to say it." Seeing that no one responded, the palace people shrank their eyes, "Or, who of you has seen it, who has been here?" If no one says and no one sees it, then you should go to the Penal Division. ”
Before this sentence was finished, the subordinates of the Evergreen Palace had already begun to tremble, Shen Xing, that is a place where you can't survive and die!
The palace man who took the lead glanced at everyone again, and soon, a little girl fell to her knees with weak legs.
"On the way to the storehouse this morning, the slave saw a man come here." The little girl mustered up a lot of courage to say this, and her face turned white with fright.
The palace man who took the lead sneered, and then asked the palace maid to continue, "Very good." Go on. ”
The little girl glanced at everyone quietly, and then lowered her head.
"When the slave saw him, she came here wrapped something in paper." The little girl cowered, but she spoke out anyway.
"Who?" The palace man who took the lead asked.
The little girl got up from the ground, then quickly turned around and pointed at the little eunuch with her finger, "That's him!" She was referring to the little eunuch who had given the powder.
When the little eunuch saw the little girl pointing at him, he was suddenly frightened, and while looking at everyone in panic, he hurriedly retreated and tried to escape.
The palace people who searched were quick-eyed, and they took a few steps to grab him and pull him in front of everyone.
"What run?" As soon as everyone saw his actions, they knew that what the little girl said was true.
The little eunuch's legs weakened, and he fell to the ground.
"Say, why did you drug An Jieyu?" The palace man who took the lead asked sharply.
The little eunuch's whole body trembled, and he shimpered, "It's not me, it's really not me." ”
Before he finished speaking, the palace man who searched raised his foot and kicked him in the chest, "It's hard to have a hard mouth, if you go to the Shen Criminal Division, your mouth is still so hard, and the master will obey you." ”
Then the palace man who took the lead made a gesture and motioned for the people below to drag the little eunuch away.
The little eunuch panicked all of a sudden, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Spare your life, spare your life!" It was the slave who was blinded by lard for a while, so he poisoned An Jieyu.
"I beg you to raise your noble hands, don't pull the slaves to the Punishment Division."
The voice gradually lowered to the back, barely audible.
The palace man who took the lead pondered for a while, and sneered: "It's not impossible if I don't pull you to the Shen Criminal Division, you just have to tell me who instigated it." ”
The little eunuch kowtowed like pounding garlic, and said, "Master, no one instructed me, I made my own opinion." ”
"Since there is no one to instruct you, why did you poison An Jieyu? What's in it for you? ”
The little eunuch's mind turned, and Yan Jieyu in Qinxia Palace immediately appeared in front of him, her words were still in his ears, he was now under the low eaves, and he couldn't help but bow his head.
As soon as he thought of this, he immediately cried: "Master, do you know? An Jieyu, she has some mental problems.
"Every time I get sick, I either beat and scold the minions, the minions really can't stand it, so I thought of this way to punish her, if you don't believe it, you can ask them."
The little eunuch said, pointing to the subordinates of the Evergreen Palace behind him.
Someone nodded boldly, and the palace people who searched had also heard that An Jieyu would indeed beat and scold people for no reason, although it was because of madness, but after all, it would make people hold a grudge.
But this matter cannot be left to his side alone.
"Someone, take it." The palace man who took the lead commanded, "The others and others should disperse." ”
Immediately someone came and took the little eunuch away.
