203, the person behind the curtain has been hiding in the palace?
Shen Ci is worried that this pregnancy can be more expensive.
Jin Gui didn't do it herself, she didn't like troublesome things by nature, and now the people of Hegong Palace went in and out and carefully sprinkled and swept it inside, boiling it with sake and splashing it all over the ground, and it was smoked with vinegar, all of which were Li Mobai's attention.
Her worries are that she is pregnant for the first time, and the place where she lives must be clean and hygienic, and there must be no hidden dangers.
The smell of vinegar mixed with the smell of wine is really unpleasant, and in only a quarter of an hour, Yong'an Palace has been smoked into a smelly canteen.
Shen Ci couldn't avoid it, so he pulled Fu Qingqing and went out for a walk.
When Li Mobai rushed to her for lunch, he was so smoked by the smell that he burst into tears as soon as he entered the door.
Xing Yun wore a veil, held a pot of sake in his hand, and sprinkled it happily as if playing with water.
Li Mobai beckoned him and asked, "What is this doing?" ”
"Didn't the emperor order it? It is necessary to clean up the Yong'an Palace thoroughly, and no dirty things are allowed to remain. ”
Li Mobai patted his head and said that it was not good, he handed over the matter of the sprinkling of Yong'an Palace to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs asked for the order that it was best to cooperate with the hospital, and he agreed without much thought at the time.
Now this absurd scene in front of me is estimated to be made by Wu Shiyin.
Knowing that Shen Ciwei was not in the palace, Li Mobai was also so smoky by the smell that his head hurt, so he had to cover his nose and go home.
After returning to the palace, he asked Sanfu to go to the Tai Hospital and the Internal Affairs Office, and asked them to think of a tasteless way to clean up Yong'an Palace, and not to pickle his concubine.
Sanfu came out with the order and took a look at Chu Yuezhi, "Chu Du Du is auspicious, and the emperor is waiting for you inside~"
Chu Yuezhi poked in and saw that Li Mobai was scratching his ears and cheeks as if he was uncomfortable, so he asked, "What's wrong with the emperor?" ”
Sanfu glanced back, only thinking that Li Mobai had a strange smell on his body, so he felt uncomfortable, so he smiled and said: "The governor asked the emperor himself, the slave is still in a hurry to do the errand of Concubine Rong, I am biased towards you~"
He came today to congratulate Li Mobai on the recent situation of his family.
After monitoring for days, there is nothing wrong with wishing the whole family. Mrs. Zhu was depressed, and Zhu Hongchuan rushed back to the house to accompany him after going to court, and he did not contact any suspicious people during the period.
"Is the emperor considering removing some of the secret guards, or is it business as usual?"
"Business as usual." Li Mobai tickled and said, "In order to deceive the thieves before, I promoted many juniors. They have been in their respective posts for a long time, and they have eaten enough dividends, and the state governments can find out the ironclad evidence of corruption and bribery, I have ordered Dali Temple and the Criminal Department to do it, and the remaining three people on the list can't catch the handle, except for Wei Zhongmao, who is really innocent, the remaining two are wise and foolish. Let the people under you do things, I don't want to see them come in again. ”
Above the court, many corrupt officials who can't be dealt with on the surface have been mostly taken care of by Chu Yuezhi over the years.
What Li Mobai hated most in his life was the words 'greed' and 'rebellion', and all the officials who had anything to do with these two words, no matter how powerful they were in the Qi Dynasty, would only end up with a bad result.
Chu Yuezhi was about to retire, but seeing Li Mobai constantly tickling, he unconsciously added a few red marks to his fair and slender neck, so he asked, "What's wrong with the emperor?" ”
"I don't know, I smelled the smell of vinegar and wine from Yong'an Palace, and when I came back, I felt itchy all over my body." The more he scratched, the more itchy he became, and he simply ordered someone to drive back to the palace and prepare to bathe and change clothes.
When he passed by Chu Yuezhi's side, he was suddenly called by him, "The emperor is slow." ”
He carefully observed Li Mobai's court clothes, and found that the hem of the court clothes was stained with dark green marks that were dotted with stars and radial ones, and he faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart.
Following his gaze, Li Mobai also noticed the stain, "How do the people from the Internal Affairs Office do things?" The three bodies of the court clothes are faded and washed every day, how can there still be dirt? ”
Chu Yuezhi analyzed: "The people of the Internal Affairs Office have served the emperor for many years, and the court obeys the Huanyi Bureau to send it to the emperor, and it needs to go through six tests. There's no reason why a large stain like this should be overlooked. Unless, these things are only contaminated by the emperor today. ”
"Today?"
Li Mobai thought back to his itinerary today, got up from Chaoyang Palace and went to the Jinluan Palace, and went to the Shang Shufang to meet with several courtiers, and then went to Yong'an Palace to have lunch with Shen Ciwei. The people didn't see it, thinking that there was still political affairs in the afternoon, so they hurriedly returned to the study.
During this period, no one approached him at all, he traveled in a sedan chair, and he had not touched any dirt, so he really couldn't think of any opportunity to stain the hem of his clothes with dark green marks.
Chu Yuezhi was silent, took out the glass crystal lens from his arms, and took a picture of the stain on Li Mobai's hem.
Sure enough, the dark green mark turned luminescent blue under the lenses.
"Weichen expected it to be right, it's glass crystal powder."
"Glass crystal powder? What you used to track down the Man in Black that day? ”
"Yes." Chu Yuezhi explained: "The glazed crystal powder is colorless and tasteless, and under normal circumstances, only when you observe with the lens made of glazed crystal, you will see the blue glow. However, if it comes into contact with vinegar, there will be a reaction between the two, and if it is on clothing, it will show dark green marks. If it gets on the skin, it will itch a lot. And its adhesion is extremely strong, and it is difficult to be washed clean by soap horn, which can explain why the clothes sent from the Huanyi Bureau are still contaminated with this thing. ”
All the symptoms are in the middle, indicating that there is indeed glass crystal powder stuck to Li Mobai's body.
"I remember you said that this thing was refined by your disciples, and only you have it in the whole world."
"Yes. Therefore, if there will be glass crystal powder on the emperor's body, it means that you are very likely to have been in contact with the man in black at that time. ”
Li Mobai asked: "Could it be that he has been in the palace all along?" ”
"Very likely." Chu Yuezhi bowed his head heavily, and after a moment of silence, he said: "That day, the traces of tracking disappeared when they reached the smooth gate, and the fourth watch was when the waterwheel entered the palace, and it was very likely that he mixed in the waterwheel and mixed into the palace, so he was not discovered." ”
As he spoke, he asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, has King Jing entered the palace in the past two days?" ”
Li Mobai shook his head, "If that person has been hiding in the palace, it is even more impossible to be Jinyan." He only recovered from his injuries, and yesterday the slaves in the Jingwang Mansion passed to Sanfu, saying that he would be able to move easily in two days, and he would enter the palace to ask for peace for me and the queen mother. ”
"It's also possible that the man in black that day wasn't really behind the scenes." Chu Yuezhi analyzed: "He has arranged a lot of meticulous work in the palace, and it is very likely that he appointed meticulous work to do things for him. ”
"No, it won't." Li Mobai immediately rejected his statement, "Although there is only one wall inside and outside the palace, it is quite difficult to let the people in the palace do things outside the palace, not to mention the risk. The man was strategic, and he couldn't fail to figure it out. Since he is outside the palace, it is enough to find his subordinates outside the palace to do things for him, why use the fine work in the palace? If you fail, wouldn't you be self-proclaiming? ”
"But the palace is full of eunuchs, even the chief eunuch of the imperial front like Sanfu, and he definitely doesn't have the strength of that person."
At this point, the matter is at an impasse again.
Li Mobai always felt that many things seemed to have traction in the dark, but it was like a ball of yarn falling on the ground and being pulled at will, wrapped into an intricate ball of thread, no matter how it was handled, it was still a mess.
