Chapter 149: There Are Really People Inside
Zhuang Siyan stared, looked at these people one by one, and when he spoke again, he directly frightened the person to his knees.
"Since you don't even listen to the master's words, it's useless to stay in the palace, so send them all to the Xin Zheku."
They were very afraid of death, and Xiao Guiren was short-tempered, and he couldn't get any heart, at this time, when he heard that Zhuang Siyan was going to send them to Xinzhiku, they were all frightened, and they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, while telling the cause and effect of the matter.
Zhuang Siyan didn't have any expression, it was rare to stand obediently and listen to what they said, and then asked Li Fu very humbly: "Manager Li, how does your emperor usually deal with things like this?" ”
Li Fu pinched the sweat on his head: "The old slave doesn't know." ”
"Oh, I don't know? Then can you go back and ask him, this is a crime of murder, is it really okay in the harem? ”
Li Fu: "Slave, let the little noble son go back to the emperor......"
"Where did the little noble son be, he is young, he doesn't speak the right way, what should I do if I mess up this matter again? Isn't it a little nobleman? ”
The young nobleman still has a great desire to survive, so he quickly knelt down and said: "For such a big thing, the slave is afraid that it will not be good to return...... ”
Li Fu glared at him fiercely, but unfortunately the little nobleman lowered his head and couldn't see anything, but Zhuang Siyan saw it and only asked him: "What's wrong with Mr. Li, is your eye cramping?" Do you want to go to Tai Hospital? ”
Li Fu: "......"
No need, can't I go? If it weren't for the emperor's order, you think I want to follow you?
It's just that when he thought that after he went back, Ling Tiancheng would scold him because he didn't follow Zhuang Siyan, and he was aggrieved.
The hardest thing to do in this world is to be someone else's minion!
Li Fu returned to the Chenxi Hall to report to Ling Tiancheng, Zhuang Siyan did not stand and wait for them, but left a few eunuchs here to watch, and walked out of the imperial garden leisurely, and then walked to Mi Yueqing.
Mi Yueqing is palace is a rare idler.
She is the kind of person who is very idle from heart to body, does not compete with others, and does not envy anything, as if she is here to support the elderly.
This mentality makes her live a better life in this kind of place, without so many worries, and naturally calm.
When Zhuang Siyan arrived, she was watching a flower bloom in the big yard.
How fast can the flowers bloom, so Mi Yueqing took a stool and didn't let the palace maid accompany her, just staring at the petals alone, watching her bloom piece by piece without blinking.
When Zhuang Siyan saw her from afar, he made a silent gesture for the palace people, and then walked over slowly.
She didn't have a good impression of flowers, but she saw Mi Yueqing combing her ordinary hair in an ordinary bun, wearing ordinary clothes, and her calm and waveless appearance, which was particularly intriguing, and her eyes were fixed on her face.
It wasn't until the flower went from budding to fully opening its petals that Mi Yueqing breathed a sigh of relief, and a happy smile appeared on her face.
She raised her head and suddenly saw Zhuang Siyan standing not far away, and hurriedly got up: "When did my sister come?" ”
Zhuang Siyan glanced at the flower with a smile: "Just arrived, this flower is chic." ”
At the mention of flowers, the smile on Mi Yueqing's face deepened: "I didn't have it before, I went to the Queen Mother's Palace at the beginning of spring, and saw that she planted a lot of them, so I asked the Internal Affairs Office for these two trees, but I didn't expect them to really bloom." ”
"Do you know this kind of flower?" Zhuang Siyan asked.
Mi Yueqing nodded: "There are more in my hometown, when I was a child, at home, the front and back of the yard were all planted, and in summer, they bloomed all over the yard, and the fragrance of flowers was also very intoxicating." ”
Zhuang Siyan casually asked, "Where is your hometown?" ”
Mi Yueqing raised her head, and her voice suddenly lowered: "Jincheng." ”
Zhuang Siyan turned his head abruptly and looked at Mi Yueqing in surprise: "Why haven't I heard you say it before?" ”
Mi Yueqing lowered her head, and her voice was as soft as the wind: "My sister didn't ask before, besides, no matter where my hometown is, I am now a person in this palace, what does it have to do with the outside?" ”
Zhuang Siyan: "No, Jincheng is such a big place, and there are so many officials, whose daughter are you, I can't remember at all, there is no surname Mi among those officials." ”
Mi Yue replied lightly: "My mother's family is just an ordinary family, not an official, so it's natural for my sister not to know." ”
This is too perfunctory.
In Ling Tiancheng's harem, Zhuang Siyan still knows the origin of those women.
There is no one without a background, even if there is no now, there was before, Ling Tiancheng would not bring in a useless woman at all.
The strangest thing is that they don't even have feelings, and Mi Yueqing is obviously not favored by the emperor here, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are left to fend for themselves.
But Zhuang Siyan could also see that there were some things that Mi Yueqing didn't want to say.
She didn't ask any more questions, sat down for a while, and got up and went back.
On the way, I was thinking, this palace is getting more and more interesting, I don't know how many unknown things are hidden, and if you open it little by little, it is naturally not good-looking, but the process of opening it is Zhuang Siyan's work.
After she returned to the Xuan Palace, the first thing she did was to check the information of Mi Yueqing.
These things are recorded in the palace, and Zhuang Siyan can easily find them.
However, as Mi Yueqing said, her father's name was not among the officials in Jincheng, and there was not even this person among the famous squires in Jincheng.
There is another point that also confuses Zhuang Siyan, Mi Yueqing and Miao Guifei entered the palace at the same time.
Judging from the records, Mi Yueqing entered the palace a month earlier than Concubine Miao, and as soon as she came in, she was crowned a nobleman.
Can a person with no background be like this?
Could it be that Ling Tiancheng liked her very much before? But judging from their current performance, there is not even a trace of it.
I can't guess this matter, I still have to ask Ling Tiancheng about the inside story.
Zhuang Siyan waited until the evening, but he didn't wait for Ling Tiancheng to come back, but waited for another news.
Empress Dowager An was seriously ill and was sentenced to a short time by the hospital.
Although she has lost power, after all, she still carries the name of the queen mother, and Ling Tiancheng has not said anything about her publicly, so the concubines in the harem are still in a hurry to serve the sick.
Lan Xin cautiously asked Zhuang Siyan: "Niangniang, are you going?" ”
Zhuang Siyan shook his head: "If I don't go, I guess she doesn't want to see me." ”
Lan Xin didn't speak, turned around and went to do something else.
But Empress Dowager An made such a fuss, and the palace was really a little chaotic, and many things were put aside.
Xiao Guiren's matter was pressed, and those palace people Li Fu beat them up and sent them back to her palace to wait.
The one who made the mistake and was to be put to death was left in the Ministry of Internal Affairs to be reassigned.
Mi Yueqing's matter couldn't be investigated, because Ling Tiancheng didn't return to the palace until dark.
Zhuang Siyan didn't think that Ling Tiancheng also went to serve the sick, Empress Dowager An was not his own mother, but a member of the An family, these messy relationships were enough for him to make Empress Dowager An cold.
However, if he is not with the Empress Dowager An, where will he go?
Zhuang Siyan went to the main hall to ask a few times, but the eunuchs said that they didn't know, and Li Fu must have followed Ling Tiancheng, so she couldn't find it at all.
She was anxious and had nowhere to be found, so she also went out of the palace gate and went to Ningshou Palace.
Lan Xin followed and asked, "Niangniang, are you going to see the Queen Mother?" ”
"No, I'm just out there watching people."
They stopped not far from Ningshou Palace, and they could see the concubines of each palace, coming in and out, so lively, that they actually caught up with the birthday of the Empress Dowager An a year ago.
It was boring, and he didn't find any suspicious clues, so Zhuang Siyan could only come back.
After a not-so-unstable night, Zhuang Siyan finally saw Ling Tiancheng in the early morning of the next day.
He took the initiative to come to find Zhuang Siyan, and as soon as they met, he asked, "What did Yan'er do with me yesterday?" ”
Zhuang Siyan asked, "Where did you go yesterday?" Out of the palace? Why don't you see anyone anywhere? ”
Ling Tiancheng smiled lightly at him: "Well, I'm out of the palace, and I have some things to deal with." ”
"Oh! Then do you know about Empress Dowager An's illness? ”
"You know, you don't have to join in the fun, just stay here."
Sure enough, as Zhuang Siyan expected, Ling Tiancheng didn't care at all about what Empress Dowager An would be sick.
The two stood at the door of the hall and talked for a while, and they could see that Ling Tiancheng had a lot of things, so Zhuang Siyan didn't delay him much.
It's just that after Ling Tiancheng left, Zhuang Siyan's heart couldn't be idle again.
The ghost of that night hovered in her mind, maybe it would be different to check it at this time?
She quickly returned to the dormitory, changed into a set of neat clothes, avoided Lan Xin and them, came out of the Xuan Palace, and ran towards Jiangxue Xuan.
habitually stretched out his hand to push the door, but suddenly found that the palace door was closed and could not be opened.
Zhuang Siyan didn't think much about it, reached out and took out the dagger from his waist, and as usual, reached in through the crack in the door and pulled out the bolt.
When the man entered, he looked carefully at the bolt of the door that had been bolted from the inside.
At that moment, Zhuang Siyan even felt that Ling Tiancheng knew everything about this, but he just wouldn't let her in.
The mystery in her heart is getting bigger and bigger, but her steps inside are getting more and more careful.
This time she didn't go to the room in the front yard first, but went around the house and went straight to the backyard from the side.
Jiang Xuexuan's backyard is different from other palaces, and it is unexpectedly small.
It's so small that there is only one row of houses, which should be used for miscellaneous items.
Zhuang Siyan slipped by the window, bowed forward, and listened carefully to the surrounding sounds as he walked.
There was no one in the yard, but there were traces of someone stepping on the weeds.
At this time, there is a door under the window, and it looks like someone has visited.
There are people here, and they must be in these rooms.
Zhuang Siyan took the dagger, quickly integrated the information he saw, and made accurate judgments, and his actions did not fall at all, and he had already walked through several windows in an instant.
Then, she stopped, put her ear close to the wall, listened carefully for a while, and leaned towards the door.
She stood still in the doorway, making sure that there was nothing unusual in the yard, and then kicked the door open.
In a small house, there is a pile of firewood and a lot of messy things.
In the corner of the firewood room, there was a stove with a medicine jar on the stove, and a palace maid was sitting on a small bench, looking at the stove in a daze.
Hearing the door, she instinctively looked up at the door, but unexpectedly did not panic, not even her face changed, and lowered her eyelids to look at the stove again.
