Chapter 240: Lost (2nd Update)
Gonggong Yu was worthy of being the emperor's chief eunuch, and after a while, he came back with the book.
He spread out one of the pages and pointed it out to the emperor, "Your Majesty, you see, this is the original book, with the pattern drawn by the imperial painter, exactly like this comb."
The emperor saw it clearly, his face was gloomy, and he ordered, "Come on, go and invite Concubine Li." , the words fell, and he changed his words, "Yu An, you take someone to invite you in person, and you are not allowed to leak the news."
"Yes." Father-in-law Yu felt a "groan" in his heart, and immediately turned around.
The emperor looked at Zhou Gu and He Zheng, and after such a while, a large amount of blood stained their bodies was red again, and he suppressed the anger in his heart and ordered, "Come on, go and ask for a doctor."
Zhou Gu thought to himself, His Majesty finally remembered to ask for a doctor for them, but it was really not easy.
The imperial physician came almost at the same time as Gonggong Yu and Li Concubine, and the emperor ordered Li Concubine to wait, and invited the imperial doctor in first to bandage Zhou Gu and He Zheng.
Seeing the wound on Zhou Gu's back, the imperial physician gasped, frowned and exclaimed, "Little Master Zhou, you, how did you get hurt, this, this wound is too deep, this is too serious......
Zhou Gu didn't speak.
The Imperial Physician took a closer look at the wound, "Fortunately, there was a simple bandage, and this medicine is also a high-grade gold sore medicine, otherwise you would have lost so much blood in this wound, it would have been fatal."
Zhou Gu remained silent.
After the imperial doctor bandaged Zhou Gu's back, he bandaged his arm again, and said: "The wound on this arm is only worse than the injury on your back, you have to take care of this injury carefully, don't move, don't let the wound crack again, don't get wet, especially if you have lost so much blood, you have to go back to the house to take care of it, you must be careful, don't have a fever at night, if it is a fever, it is very dangerous."
Zhou Gu finally gave a little reaction, "Hmm", "I'm tired of Imperial Doctor Xu."
Imperial Physician Xu glanced at him, and told him uneasily, "If you have a fever at night, send someone to call me immediately."
After speaking, he went to bandage He Zheng again, although there were many wounds on He Zheng's body, only a sword wound on his waist was slightly more serious, and Imperial Doctor Xu didn't watch He Zheng grow up, but he didn't say anything.
He Zheng felt very guilty in his heart, the wound on Zhou Gu's back was because he saved him, and he couldn't avoid being injured.
The emperor didn't avoid it, he watched from the side, the injuries on Zhou Gu's body were solid, and he couldn't help frowning when the wounds were deep, and after Imperial Doctor Xu finished bandaging, he said to Zhou Gu: "Zhou Gu, you go back to the house to recuperate, go back, this case, I ......."
Zhou Gu looked at the emperor.
The Emperor paused, "I will judge it myself."
Zhou Gu actually knew that he had found out about Concubine Li, involving the four princes and concubines, even if he was not injured, the emperor probably wouldn't let him come to investigate, after all, he was now a person from the East Palace.
He nodded, "After all, I brought the evidence into the palace, Your Majesty asked Concubine Li, do I need to audit?" Wait to hear what Concubine Li has to say, if there is any question about me, I can answer it in time, and I will go back later."
didn't hold on to the case persistently, saying that he was just listening to it and leaving after a while.
The emperor was satisfied with his knowledge of current affairs, nodded his head, and instructed Father-in-law Yu, "Yu An, call Concubine Li in."
Father-in-law Yu should be, and went out to invite Concubine Li in.
Concubine Li was named a beautiful character by the emperor because of her beautiful appearance, and there are four princes and ten princesses under her knees, a son and a daughter, and she is very popular in the palace because she does not fight or rob.
She was suddenly summoned by the emperor, and the emperor sent Yu An to invite her personally, and when she was invited, she took someone to seal her beauty palace, and she was not allowed to bring a palace maid and eunuch, only she was invited alone, and everyone who has lived in the palace for a long time knows that something is wrong, so after she saw the emperor, she asked for peace with a white face, pretending to be calm, but she was actually very panicked.
The emperor shouted directly, "Concubine Li, you are so bold, you dare to let people raise dead soldiers privately? What is the sin?"
Concubine Li's eyes widened in shock, "Why did Your Majesty say this?"
Her eyes widened, and she looked inexplicable, "When did the concubine let people raise the dead privately?"
The Emperor looked angry and said in a deep tone, "You dare to say that you don't? still
Dare to quibble?"
Concubine Li knelt on the ground with a "poof", "Your Majesty, the concubine will never dare to raise any dead soldiers, the concubine has been keeping to herself all these years, how can the concubine ...... Raising the dead? The concubines have no money to support the dead."
She wittily found the most reasonable reason for herself, "Your Majesty, you know about the concubine, the concubine's mother's family is not rich, and there is a younger brother of a ruined family in the family......
"What about the Four Princes? I know that he secretly let people run private property, but he can take the money to support the dead." The Emperor asked.
Concubine Li's face turned white, "Your Majesty, Rui'er is only fifteen ......."
The emperor snorted coldly, "Fifteen is not young, and at the age of seven or eight, you can do anything." He tossed her the comb on the table, "Recognize it yourself, it's yours?"
Concubine Li was hit head-on by a comb, and her forehead was suddenly broken, but she didn't dare to shout or scream, she just shrank back, and caught the comb with a white face, and at this look, her face turned even paler, "Your Majesty, where did this comb come from?"
"I only ask you, is this the comb I once gave you?" The emperor asked.
Concubine Li nodded, "This, this comb was given to your concubine." , but she had something to say, "But this comb, as early as four or five years ago, the concubine was lost."
The Emperor: "Huh?" sighed, and asked with a calm face, "Lost?"
Concubine Li nodded hurriedly, "Your Majesty, everyone in the palace of the concubines can testify, just four or five years ago, the concubines couldn't find this comb, I don't know which slave stole it, and the concubines also sent someone to find it, and also asked people to register, after all, it is a thing in the palace, and it is a thing that makes a book, or you reward it to the concubine, it is equivalent to writing the name of the concubine, how can the concubine not take good care of it?" How could it be possible to let her go out at will?"
When the emperor heard this, he looked at Gonggong Yu again, "Yu An?"
Father-in-law Yu hurriedly said, "The old slave will go and check."
Lost items in the palace are also to be reported to make a book, he doesn't remember that Li Concubine has a book, but there was a time in the palace that things were always lost, and later it was found out that they were stolen by the palace people and sold, and many palace concubines have lost items, as the chief eunuch, most of the time he only remembers things related to His Majesty, as for the concubines, so many, where to remember? He can have an impression of what the emperor gave, as for how to use the palace concubine, whether he lost it or not, he doesn't know, not to mention such a small comb, it is good that he can remember the origin.
He turned around and ran out, didn't take a few steps, ran back again, and confirmed with Li Concubine, "Li Concubine Niangniang, think about it carefully, was it four years ago, or five years ago? The specific year and month are easy to check for the old slave."
Concubine Li thought about it and reported the date, "It was about four and a half years ago, I can't remember the specific date, but I haven't found it back."
Father-in-law Yu nodded and hurried away again.
The emperor didn't let Concubine Li get up, so he let her kneel like that.
Father-in-law Yu was very efficient, and it didn't take long for him to come back with a layer of books, point to one of the pages and say, "Your Majesty, Concubine Li is right, that is, four and a half years ago, the old slave found out."
The emperor looked down, and sure enough, the recorded imperial peach blossom comb, according to the appearance of the book rubbing at that time, was exactly the same, it was this comb.
The Emperor took a deep breath and looked at Concubine Li, "Concubine Li, do you know that this comb of yours was found from today's dead soldiers? Hundreds of dead soldiers, intercepting and killing Zhou Gu, only your peach blossom comb is on you."
Concubine Li finally understood, and immediately shouted with a white face, and her tone was crying, "Your Majesty, the concubine is wronged, this matter has nothing to do with the concubine, the concubine can swear that if the concubine raises the dead, the concubine will not die well."
Raising the dead, how can this be what the harem concubines can do? Not to mention the harem concubines, even the courtiers, they have to break their courage to dare. What's more, there are hundreds of dead soldiers, and they also intercept and kill the little prince of the Protector's Mansion? She knew what would happen to her if the Emperor arbitrarily convicted her.
The emperor said with a calm face, "Is this all you have to say? Is there anything else to say? If so, tell me and think about it!"
Concubine Li seemed to think hard, and after a while, she shook her head, "Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't know how this comb can be related to the dead man, the concubine really lost this comb...... The concubine, please take a clear look."
The emperor stiffened his face, "I will find out, you, the people in your palace, your mother's family, and the four princes."
After speaking, the emperor ordered, "Yu An, take care of Concubine Li alone, you personally take people to Concubine Li's Palace, and check everyone in the Palace of Liren one by one."
Father-in-law Yu should be, stepped forward and said, "Concubine Li, please."
Concubine Li stood up with a white face, made a farewell salute, and was taken away by Father-in-law Yu.
After she left, the emperor looked at Zhou Gu and then at He Zheng, "You two, go back and recuperate. This case is ......", the emperor felt that it was very tricky, I was afraid that it would be difficult to investigate, he said that he would try it in person, but he would only ask in person, and he had to have a trustworthy person to investigate it for him, but the Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, who could trust it? She turned to look at King Ryan.
King Ryan was excited, and hurriedly excused himself, "Your Majesty, there is a big case in the hands of the minister, and it has not been clarified yet."
This case, involving concubines and princes, is a hot potato, and he doesn't want to take it.
Code words in the sound of firecrackers, I haven't experienced it for several years!
Happy New Year, all the best!
At the beginning of the new year, babies, don't keep the monthly pass~Why, love you~
