The news of Ye Qianhuai's stay in the queen's palace soon spread throughout the harem and the previous dynasty.

The most fierce reaction was the Yonghe Palace of the noble concubine.

Chen Julian and the palace maid Tan Qiu were still calm, but the subordinates in the palace did not have the same strength as them.

"This Kunning Palace is just a night of sainthood, looking at their arrogant appearance, I don't know that I think their mother gave birth to a prince." The palace maid who went to the inner court to fetch charcoal complained with an indignant expression as soon as she returned to the palace.

"What's wrong with Sister Han? The people of Kunning Palace shook their faces again? A little palace maid who helped her clean up the charcoal fire asked.

"Isn't it? When I went, I happened to meet Ping'er from their palace who also went to fetch charcoal. Obviously, I arrived first, and my father-in-law prepared the silver charcoal I wanted, but as soon as she came, she took my charcoal directly, saying that the queen was in a hurry to use it. Not only that, but she also picked and chose those silver silk charcoals, saying that the queen mother had just been favored, and her body was delicate, no more than the mothers of other palaces, the charcoal fire selected must be more fine. ”

Hearing her say this, the little palace maid who was helping was also angry, and said, "How can this be reasonable! What other palace mothers, who doesn't know that there are two mothers in this harem now, she is here for our mother. ”

"Not really. It seems that their mother's daughter is expensive, our mother is obviously also a golden branch and jade leaf from the prime minister's house, where did she lose to her in terms of identity and status? If it weren't for the obscenity of their Gu family, His Majesty would obviously appreciate our mother's talent even more. ”

"That's it." The little palace maid echoed, and after echoing her, she remembered something again, and asked, "Wasn't it Ling Xue who took the inner court to get charcoal and clothes from Kunning Palace before?" Why did you change it to Ping'er? ”

The palace maid named Xiaohan immediately changed her face, she quickly glanced around, approached the little palace maid's ear, and whispered: "Kunning Palace said that she went out of the palace to return to her hometown, but I heard that she may be missing. ”

"Missing?"

"Ling Xue is only seventeen years old, and she is not old enough to leave the palace. And she was sold to the Gu Mansion by her family, and then followed the queen into the palace, where is there any hometown to go back to? Xiaohan explained to her.

The little palace maid was shocked, covered her mouth and said in surprise: "Then is she ......?"

Xiaohan shook his head and didn't say anything more.

Kunning Palace didn't say anything about the disappearance of the palace maids in his palace, and others naturally had no place to beak.

But the emperor noticed this unexpectedly.

"You mean, there was a palace maid missing from Kunning Palace that night?" Ye Qianhuai asked.

"Yes." It was Shen Guiyi who answered. She is now Ye Qianhuai's personal secret guard.

After the Wanshou Festival, the relationship between Ye Tianhuai and Gu Dang has not changed on the surface, but there is an undercurrent behind the scenes. The queen failed to drug her this time, and Ye Tianhuai concluded that they would not stop there, and she needed someone she could trust to follow her closely, in case something like that happened on Hallomy Night happened again.

Ye Qian thought about it, and Shen Guiyi was the most suitable.

"Tell me more." Ye said.

After getting along these days, Ye Tianhuai also has some understanding of Shen Guiyi. Although she is young, her temperament is far more calm than her age, and she is very measured, and she can report this matter to Ye Tianhuai, she must already have an eyebrow.

"The missing palace maid in Kunning Palace is named Ling Xue, who has been sold into the Gu Mansion since she was a child to wait for the queen's mother, and when the mother entered the palace, she followed the marriage into the palace. In Kunning Palace, except for Yun Wei, the palace maid who is in charge, and Yan Mama, who is in charge of discipline, Ling Xue is the most powerful. ”

As soon as she said this, Ye Tianhuai seemed to have some impressions, and she asked thoughtfully, "Is it a girl who is not tall and has a mole on her right lip?" ”

Shen Guiyi nodded: "Yes." ”

Ye Tianhuai remembered that it was the little palace maid who served her a wine on the wedding night.

"She should be regarded as the queen's confidant." Ye Qianhuai muttered, "How could she be missing?" ”

Kunning Palace's external statement is that she left the palace and returned to her hometown. But the subordinates have been inquiring in the Kunning Palace for the past two days, and her departure from the palace is very sudden, and there is no news before, it is said that a palace maid of her level, if she wants to leave the palace, she must be handed over to someone in advance. ”

Ye Qianhuai nodded and said, "Did Kunning Palace report its disappearance to the inner court?" ”

Shen Guiyi shook his head: "No." ”

"Then it seems that the queen knows where Suzuki has gone." Ye said.

Shen Guiyi did not agree with Ye Qianhuai's judgment: "This matter is strange, my subordinates inquired that the day after Ling Xue's disappearance, the queen mother once gathered all the palace maids of the entire Kunning Palace together and asked them if they knew Ling Xue's whereabouts, but they couldn't ask." Later, for some reason, the matter was over, and an announcement was made that Ling Xue went out of the palace and went home. Because of this, it is rumored in the palace that Suzuki is actually missing. ”

After being silent for a while, Ye Tianhuai asked, "What do you think about this matter?" ”

Shen Guiyi paused and said, "Your Majesty said that there was a dead man in the courtyard of Kunning Palace that night, but when he went down, he didn't see any traces of the corpse. The subordinates guessed that Suzuki might have bumped into the killer disposing of the corpse, so she was killed. ”

Ye Qianhuai and Shen Guiyi looked at each other for a moment, their always gentle expressions cooled down, and said, "That person was killed by me." ”

Shen Guiyi was stunned, she looked at Ye Qianhuai, and was speechless in surprise for a while.

Ye Qianhuai never told Shen Guiyi what happened that night, and Shen Guiyi never thought about it in this regard. In her heart, although the emperor has the ability to use fists, feet, swords and guns, he is a kind and elegant person, and it is really difficult to connect with such things as killing.

Seeing that Shen Guiyi was silent, Ye Qianhuai continued: "From the time I killed him to the time you arrived in Kunning Palace, there were only two quarters of an hour, and it would definitely not be enough time to kill one person and dispose of two corpses in this time. ”

After a while, Shen Guiyi asked weakly: "My subordinates dare to ask Your Majesty, who did Your Majesty kill?" ”

"A Praetorian guard." Speaking of this, Ye Tianhuai was a little upset and said, "But I have asked the forbidden army to check in the past two days, and there is no one who suddenly disappeared in the forbidden army." This person, like Suzuki, disappeared without a trace. ”

Ye Tianhuai lowered his eyes and said, "I have arranged for someone to investigate on the forbidden army's side, you don't have to worry about it." You continue to follow Ling Xue's line, and bring a letter to Tao Yuan's side, asking him to check if Ling Xue has left the palace. ”

Shen Guiyi should speak.

The two were silent for a while, Ye Tianhuai looked up at her, his expression was dark and inexplicable, and asked, "Has Gu Haiwang woken up in the past two days?" ”

Shen Guiyi shook his head.

"If he says anything nonsense, he can report it at any time."

Ye Qianhuai frowned, she still remembered the first time she heard Shen Guiyi report to her about the nonsense that Gu Haiwang said when he was half asleep, she seemed to feel that every pore on her body was poured into ice.

He cursed in a daze—
