Early the next morning.

The palace maid who went to the cold palace to deliver food found that last night's dinner had not been touched at all and was left in place, so she didn't take it seriously, only took the dinner that had been rancid, put the breakfast aside and left. After all, a woman who has entered the cold palace is equivalent to falling from heaven to hell, and there are not many who can remain unaffected as always.

A few hungry meals, and you'll be fine.

When the meal was delivered at noon, she found that the breakfast was still not moving, and the little palace maid thought about it, worried that the former concubine was too delicate and sick, so she pushed the door and went in......

……

The former concubine Niangniang, and now the concubine of the cold palace, is dead. I used a hemp rope that I didn't know where to find and hung the beam.

When the little palace maid pushed the door in, the corpse of the waste concubine was cold!

The imperial doctor examined it, and preliminarily concluded that the person was gone yesterday night, probably around midnight. The last person I saw was the little eunuch who was trembling and kneeling at the door of the cold palace at the moment, saying that he had said something that should not be said with the waste concubine last afternoon, for example, King Xian had raised troops to rebel against himself in Wuji Mountain!

Of course, the waste concubine will hang the beam.

The thing is obvious...... This woman, who had a hope in the cold palace, completely dispersed the last bit of expectation, despaired, and ended herself with a hemp rope.

It's not a question of whether to murder or not, it's just that the eunuch who has been exhausted on weekdays finally saw the noble man in distress, and he said a few words of anger.

However, the emperor still chose to severely punish the two eunuchs, after all, there are some old feelings, it is one thing to enter the cold palace, and it is another thing to die. So, the emperor, who had a headache for the past two days, frowned and didn't say a word, just waved his hand, and the two eunuchs were dragged away, and the two eunuchs did not shout a word of injustice.

Naturally, it was the emperor's cronies who did it, and dragged people all the way to the chaotic jungle behind the cold palace to ensure that the ears of His Majesty and the nobles would not be polluted here, so he pushed away the two little eunuchs in his hands. The other party fell to the ground, got up and knelt, tilted his head and asked, "What you said before, is it true?" ”

The other party lowered his eyes and looked at them, as if he was looking at two ugly-looking ants, raised his chin and snorted coldly, "Your Majesty is sitting on a great success, can you still miss a few copper coins?" ”

"No, no, no, no......," the other little eunuch smiled, "This kid can't speak, don't blame the commander, don't blame the ......"

He looked small, smiled, and didn't know what kind of beauty he had. Partial life is to die. If there is also a distinction between eunuchs, then the highest must be the father-in-law Chang beside the emperor, that is, the concubine must politely call "Chang Chief" when she sees it, and the last one is usually the little eunuch who takes care of the cold palace like them.

On weekdays, it doesn't matter if the master doesn't see a single one, and the eunuchs and palace maids will also treat them as the reincarnation of broom stars and have many taboos. In short, although everyone does not shout and fight, everyone avoids it.

Such a life is the lowest life. If it weren't for the fact that the family was too difficult, who would be the next person to watch the gate of the cold palace? Can it be ...... They are such tough people. His Majesty promised to buy their lives with ten copper coins......

They didn't plead, knowing that for Your Majesty, after all, only the mouth of the dead is the strictest, and their lowly lives are just two ants trampled to death for Your Majesty.

If not, it is also death, and there is no more than these ten copper coins. It's good to be able to leave ten copper coins for the old mother at home.

The two little eunuchs glanced at each other, slowly prostrate, and closed their eyes...... It's just that I don't know if my mother still remembers her unfilial appearance after being away from home for many years......

Within a quarter of an hour, two corpses wrapped in broken straw mats were carried out of the palace.

And the news of the abolition of the concubine's hanging beam was quietly covered by the emperor.

……

When Gu Yansheng was ordered to leave the imperial capital, he was in a hurry, and he didn't have time to say goodbye to the Shi family, so he only hurriedly told the little servant to pass on a few words, which was about "Don't worry, take care of yourself, take care of your mother" and other such advice.

To say not to worry is to be false.

This kid has been idle for many years, and suddenly he went to move the rescue soldiers with a military talisman, just like a child who was too well protected, and suddenly carried all the wind and rain alone, how could he not be worried.

When Taifu was sighing, the porter came over with Master Qingming. Qing Ming sat down, took a sip of tea, got up and left, leaving a letter with the signature "Gu Ci".

Subsequently, Master Qingming entered the palace and checked His Majesty's pulse, during which he inadvertently mentioned that the little maid of the family went to the Qinghe Hall to ask for medicine early this morning, and said that the Taifu had been a little worried about illness since King Rui left the city, and he didn't think about tea and dinner......

His Majesty sighed, but also smiled, "Taifu was resolute in his early years, but now that he is older, he has begun to be indecisive to some extent. ”

Qing Ming pursed his lips and smiled, didn't speak, and said after finishing his pulse, "Your Majesty is in good health, and the residual poison from before has been cleared, be relieved." ”

It is not possible to be relieved, and if you calculate the footsteps, it will only be a matter of these two days when the soldiers are in the city. At that time, I thought that I could use the lives of the concubine and everyone in the Zuo Xiangfu to threaten when I had no choice, but now I ...... Dead one is the most useful, and this trick is also difficult.

It's just that these many calculations will not be said to an outsider in Qingming, and the emperor is just the head of the chin, so he asked Gonggong Chang to send people out in person.

More than an hour later, he reported to the Taifu to ask for a meeting.

Taifu hasn't been out of the mountain for a long time, and as soon as the words of the palace people that were almost passed on to the palace people fell, His Majesty had already gotten up and walked out. Unexpectedly, Taifu didn't come alone, there was a young man behind him, bowing his head and saluting, and when he looked up, the emperor realized that it was Lin Yuan, the guard beside Gu Ci.

What Qing Ming said was not bad, Taifu looked paler, and there was a faint dark blue under his eyes, which did look like he hadn't rested well in the past few days.

His Majesty stretched out his hand to support Taifu and walked in, while tilting his head and asking Lin Yuan, "How is Ah Ci's body?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Lin Yuan arched his hand, "It's still the same, but I woke up for a while ago, and the master meant that I was a little overworked a while ago, and then it rained again, no, the sickness that was still suppressed broke out all of a sudden...... After all, it's an old problem. It's just that this time it's really unfortunate......"

The emperor shook his head, and in turn relieved, "How can it be said that this illness is not a coincidence, no one wants to be sick...... Let him keep it in peace. ”

"Yes...... Your Majesty is sympathetic to ......"

Taifu, who knew the inside story, twitched the corners of his mouth, and stepped into the door of the imperial study before coughing, "Your Majesty ......"
