Chapter 365: They All Escaped from the Well (Second Watch)
Of course, Emperor Ming Zhao knew that his daughter had a fever since she was a child, and she began to check the count. At first, there are three, and after a while one will be added, and then four will be checked. It would go up another one after a while, until tonight, she muttered ten.
Emperor Ming Zhao thought that his daughter was not stupid, and it took a long time to learn to look up a number, but she saw someone fall into the well and saw ten.
Concubine De became more and more nervous, this fool saw the person who fell into the well, would he also see Maolang.
King Min, who has always been gentle, is now so frightened that he can't speak.
He only likes to read, and he never knows the dangers of the world, but he didn't expect that there are so many bones in a small well between flowers and butterflies and bees.
Rong Xiao couldn't see emotions on her face, like the eyes of the deep sea abyss, which were hidden in the shadows by long eyelashes.
Another net came up, soaked in water and discolored, and scattered all over the ground.
"Four, five, six, seven......"
"And the fish, and the fish!" Rong Luo looked at some of those skeletons, and was already covered in cold sweat, but he still continued to fish with an innocent smirk.
Emperor Nanying's face had sunk into an ice sculpture.
Even if he knew about the power struggle in the deep palace, there would always be a place to pickle.
But he never imagined that there could be so many bones in a well, and how many people's lives would be despised to death.
Another net, Rong Luo snapped his fingers and found nine.
She shook her head: "No, no, there are still fish, and there are fish!" ”
Everyone also felt that it was wrong, obviously Imperial Doctor Sun's robe was still there, but there was no corpse of Imperial Doctor Sun.
"Decheng, check it out immediately, how many people are missing in this palace? I rule the world, but I don't know that I have such a disregard for human life right under my nose. "Emperor Ming Zhao suppressed his anger." My harem is full of women, but I didn't expect it to be even more dangerous than the frontier battlefield. ”
"The slave will send someone to find the list of missing palace maids and eunuchs over the years." Decheng took a little eunuch and hurriedly rushed to the collection office.
Concubine De's face became more and more ugly, and she faintly felt that this stupid princess was deliberate.
The roster was brought in.
The missing people were four palace maids, four eunuchs, and a grandmother.
"Your Majesty, three of these four palace maids are the palace maids of Concubine De's mother, and they are all over the age of twenty-five and are allowed to leave the palace."
"Approved to leave the palace?" Emperor Ming Zhao looked at Concubine De: "Does Concubine De know that they can't leave the palace and die in this well?" ”
Concubine De's body softened, and she knelt down: "The concubine also rewarded them with silver back then, and went back to marry a good family." I didn't expect them to suffer such a catastrophe......" Concubine De wiped away tears sadly.
Decheng saw Emperor Ming Zhao's eyes, and continued: "There is also a palace maid who is Yi Guifei's personal palace maid, this palace maid suddenly disappeared back then, but Yi Guifei searched for this palace. Finally, I saw the letter left by the palace maid, saying that her mother was seriously ill, and she stole the concubine's jewelry, treated her mother, and had no face to see the concubine again. For this reason, Concubine Yi also specially ordered the miscellaneous family to find the hometown of the palace maid and sent someone to send silver, but unfortunately the hometown registration has long been gone. ”
Emperor Ming Zhao knew about this.
Back then, he thought that Concubine Yi was kind, but later he overheard the conversation between the two palace maids, and realized that Concubine Yi didn't like the palace maid and betrayed her secretly. also deliberately acted in a drama of distressed minions.
Now, he was poked in the heart.
Wasn't it sold? How can it be in a well?
His thoughts were mixed, and for a moment, his hands clenched and clenched.
Could it be that someone deliberately gave him those words!
"Go on!" Emperor Ming Zhao's expression was cold.
Let everyone shiver along with it.
"No! These four eunuchs are all from Fuyang Palace. ”
After Decheng's father-in-law's words were finished, everyone's eyes were fixed on Concubine De.
"These eunuchs disappeared in the seventh, eighth, thirteenth, and fifteenth years of Yanping."
"Your Majesty, the concubines don't remember, these eunuchs who made mistakes, the concubines were directly handed over to the chief steward and father-in-law to deal with." Concubine De's voice was soft, and she pushed it clean.
Decheng's father-in-law didn't know how to answer for a while.
It is true that he should take care of it, but he is busy serving the emperor every day, and he never asks about such trivial matters at all.
Emperor Ming Zhao has a clear heart, and his father-in-law Decheng walks around in front of him every day, how can he care about these things.
Decheng bowed his head and continued: "There is another one is Mama Gui, who disappeared eighteen years ago. ”
"Missing?" Emperor Ming Zhao was so angry that he snorted coldly.
His harem turned out to be a big living person, and if he said no, he didn't.
"It is said that Mama Gui delivered births to the masters of the palaces and the wives of the ministers, and she got a lot of benefits, and she may have fled with the money."
"All escaped into the well?"
Emperor Ming Zhao screamed, and all the minions were so frightened that they knelt on the ground.
"Father, please take care of the dragon's body." King Min persuaded.
Rong Xiao sat in a wheelchair without seeing her emotions, and opened her mouth calmly: "Mama Gui gave birth to the Fourth Emperor Brother, but she disappeared in two hours." At that time, the palace was celebrating the prince, and no one cared about where an old woman had gone for a while. ”
Concubine De began to become more and more uneasy, she looked at Rong Xiao, the soft light of the lantern shining on his face, even if it was blurry, the outline was handsome and extraordinary. It's just that he can't see that he is sick and weak today, he doesn't even cough, and those eyes that are already blind don't look at her at all, but they seem to be able to see through her.
"It's the mother who delivered the baby to this king!" King Min was kind-hearted, and he felt sad when he heard it.
But Emperor Ming Zhao twisted his eyebrows.
Looking at the kneeling concubine.
"Concubine De, do you remember this Mama Gui?"
"Concubine, remember, remember! The concubine was in a coma a few days after giving birth, and when she got better, she sent someone to call Gui Mama and wanted to reward her. But I heard that she had been away from the palace for a few days, so she gave up. Concubine De thought to herself, no matter what she said now, she couldn't verify it anymore.
Emperor Ming Zhao has always felt that the most ordinary person in this palace is Concubine De, and she has not attracted his attention since she entered the palace. If it weren't for the fact that he doted on Concubine Yi and always saw this show girl in Concubine Yi's bedroom, I was afraid that he wouldn't have looked at her more.
knew that she was a fellow villager of Concubine Yi, and specially mentioned her position.
Concubine Yi said that the concubines in the palace who had not been favored by the emperor were always cold-eyed, and she didn't want her sister to be like this, so he called this woman who didn't even remember her name to go to bed. Unexpectedly, just once, she became pregnant with a child and gave birth to a prince.
Until Yi Guifei died of illness, he always wanted to find Yi Guifei's shadow, so he would often call Concubine De to blink and serve, only to find that she was kind and weak.
But today, these missing people can all have something to do with her.
For a while, Emperor Ming Zhao was a little skeptical that he had lost his eyes.
"They were all pushed down by a man in black." Rong Luo said suddenly at this time.
Concubine De's heart sank, this stupid girl saw her Maolang!
