Chapter 59: Murder Everywhere
This thing is an invisible poison that Xiao Daoling gave to Concubine Xiao to kill people.
And what they are targeting is the new emperor Xu Jing!
"Go, put this in the incense used by His Majesty."
Concubine Xiao called her henchmen outside the door into the house, handed over one-tenth of her things, and said coldly.
Concubine Xiao is the one who holds the phoenix seal on her behalf, and all the dispatches and supplies of the entire palace are in her hands.
Even Xu Jing, who is the new emperor, is not spared from his food and clothing.
Her henchmen naturally have the right to interfere with these, and she can easily add something else to Xu Jing's daily use.
The henchman was a little frightened with the odorless solid in his hand, and asked cautiously, "...... this thing?"
"Don't ask, don't ask."
Concubine Xiao unceremoniously interrupted her confidant to inquire and scolded coldly.
Of course, this henchman understood, and didn't dare to ask another word, just nodded obediently, took the things and turned to leave.
"Xu Jing, soon you will have to pay the price for your debauchery!"
Thinking of what Xu Jing had done to her, Concubine Xiao couldn't wait to tear Xu Jing to pieces.
Thinking that Xu Jing was about to be poisoned and died in an unknown manner, the hatred in Concubine Xiao's heart was also vented.
The henchman took the things given by Concubine Xiao, and soon mixed them into the special incense used by Xu Jing.
Under this set of operations, no one doubts it at all.
After all, as Concubine Xiao's confidant, it is not uncommon for him to inquire about the internal affairs of the palace.
In the past, this chief steward also used Concubine Xiao's name to instruct him.
Late at night, Xu Jing returned to the East Palace, and Gonggong Cao was already waiting on the side.
"When?"
Xu Jing looked at Gonggong Cao, frowned slightly, and asked lightly.
"Today, the slave caught a person, and this person fornicated with the foreign government to send a letter to the palace."
Gonggong Cao whispered in Xu Jing's ear.
"Whose man is he?"
Xu Jing frowned slightly, and there was a faint uneasiness in his heart.
Gonggong Cao said cautiously: "This person belongs to Concubine Ling's people. It's just that this matter has nothing to do with this. ”
Concubine Ling is a very low status among the three palaces and six courts, not to mention that when the emperor was in power, she did not get much favor.
Even now, she has no children, and she is almost isolated in the backyard of the palace.
"Then investigate it in the dead, I want to know who this person has to do with and who he has to do with."
Xu Jing's tone was cold and unquestionable.
"No, the minion will go."
With that, Gonggong Cao quickly left to interrogate the eunuch who had just been caught.
Xu Jing didn't feel sleepy at the moment, he only felt cold.
In the backyard of this huge palace, there seems to be murderous intentions hidden everywhere, as long as he misses half a point, he will end up with an unknown death.
"Prepare the shelf, I want to enter the palace!"
Xu Jing locked the biggest suspicion on Concubine Xiao and Xiao Hanshuang at this moment.
Now the only one who has the worst relationship with Xu Jing is Xiao Mansion.
If Xu Jing suffers an accident, only Xiao Daoling will be the first to benefit.
So the mastermind behind this matter is one of the two sisters in power in the harem nine times out of ten.
"Concubine Xiao, Your Majesty has arrived!"
Xu Jing rode straight to the harem in a chariot.
Outside the door, the eunuch cautiously knocked on the door of Concubine Xiao's bedroom to remind.
When Concubine Xiao heard this, she only felt cold sweat breaking out all over her body.
You know, she just asked her subordinates to arrange the poisoning just today.
Could it be that this matter has been exposed in just half an hour?
Concubine Xiao, who was in a nervous mood, suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and said coldly: "Let him in." ”
"I haven't seen you for a long time, Concubine Xiao has become more and more beautiful and moving."
Xu Jing strode in, not hiding his gaze at Concubine Xiao at all.
"Your Majesty, I don't know why you're here late at night?"
Concubine Xiao looked at Xu Jingyin, who was like a disciple, and her silver teeth were about to be crushed, and she said fiercely.
"What? Concubine Xiao is so reluctant to see me? ”
Xu Jing sat beside Concubine Xiao generously, rubbed Concubine Xiao's soft arms and asked with a smug smile.
"Your Majesty, if you have something to say, just say it. If nothing else, please leave early. ”
Concubine Xiao's tone was tough, and she completely ignored Xu Jing's teasing.
"What? Concubine Xiao forgot the beauty of the past few days? ”
Xu Jing deliberately provoked the picture of Concubine Xiao being humiliated by Xu Jing a few days ago.
Concubine Xiao trembled with anger at Xu Jing's humiliation, and she couldn't wait to kill Xu Jing now.
"Your Majesty said, this palace does not remember. If there is nothing to do, please leave Your Majesty, the palace is lacking. ”
Concubine Xiao's tone was cold, and she gave an eviction order.
"Why is Concubine Xiao so anxious? I haven't said why I'm here. ”
Xu Jing smiled lightly and said slowly.
"Your Majesty just say, you can leave after speaking."
Concubine Xiao's attitude was cold, and the place where she sat down was 108,000 miles away from Xu Jing.
"Today, Gonggong Cao caught a eunuch in the palace, this person had an affair with the outer house, and it seems that he was privately spreading news for the outer house and the backyard of the palace."
The smile on Xu Jing's face was restrained, and his tone was a little colder and said slowly.
Hearing this, Concubine Xiao's eyes were a little more panicked, but she quickly suppressed it, and instead pretended to be annoyed and asked, "What?" Your Majesty thinks that he has fornicated with the foreign government, but is it the palace? ”
"If Your Majesty has conclusive evidence, just take the palace."
The changes in Concubine Xiao's eyes, Xu Jing could see clearly.
He was sure that nine times out of ten, this matter was disconnected from the Xiao Mansion.
"Why is Concubine He Xiao so angry? I didn't say that this matter had anything to do with Concubine Xiao. ”
"That guy's mouth is very hard, and it will take a few days to pry it open completely. I am here just to remind Concubine Xiao that the backyard of the palace is mixed, and Concubine Xiao should pay more attention to the person who has the palm print. ”
"Otherwise, any big murder case in the palace will be a little unpleasant."
Xu Jing smiled lightly, picked up the teacup and drank the tea.
Concubine Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and her attitude became more and more tough: "This is a matter of the harem, even Your Majesty is not good at interfering, right?" ”
"How the palace wants to do it, you don't need Your Majesty to care about it. If nothing else, please leave Your Majesty. ”
Xu Jing didn't say much, just nodded slightly and left Concubine Xiao's bedroom with a smile.
"Your Majesty, it has been found that the person who sent the letter is Concubine Xiao!"
Gonggong Cao, who went and returned, also brought back a piece of news, which confirmed Xu Jing's speculation.
"Do you have a confidant in the palace?"
Xu Jing asked Father-in-law Cao coldly.
"Naturally, there are servants who have been in the palace for decades, and there are some trusted henchmen."
Gonggong Cao nodded and replied.
Xu Jing said coldly: "Then arrange someone to watch Concubine Xiao's every move." Also, immediately summon four imperial doctors with tight enough mouths. ”
Gonggong Cao was a little confused and asked, "Your Majesty, are you unwell?" ”
"No, check all the things that have been sent to the East Palace for me recently. I want to see how bold Xiaofu really is! ”
Xu Jing shook his head and said with a sneer.
Gonggong Cao only felt cold, and his back was full of sweat: "Xiaofu really dares?" ”
