Chapter 19: The Rebellion of Zhaoyang Palace

"Your Majesty, the queen's mother, after inspection, the imperial paper received by Zhaoyang Palace has not been touched."

The results of Qiu Fu's inspection did not surprise An Ruo, but it was obvious that Concubine Ning was very angry that An Ruo had escaped the catastrophe like this.

"Queen Mother, even if the letter is not from Zhaoyang Palace, but the palace maid Zhan Zhan of Zhaoyang Palace left a stick of incense alone in Geng Chongrong's place, it is still suspicious, and the concubine thinks that it is better to take the whole Zhaoyang Palace to the Shen Criminal Division for torture and torture, if Concubine Ding is innocent, it is better to return Concubine Ding's innocence."

An Ruo didn't refute this, after all, there was still a confession from Zhang Guard, torturing the Zhaoyang Palace, sooner or later, but ......

"Sister Ning is sure to send everyone to the Shen Criminal Division?"

Concubine Ning turned her head and didn't say anything, anyway, she just suggested, and it was not her who made the final decision, and it was not on her.

"There's no need to be so troublesome, everyone in the palace knows it. During this period of time, it is enough to block the top and bottom of Zhaoyang Palace, and the queen will go to interrogate the people of Zhaoyang Palace from today onwards, I just have some manpower and interrogation methods here that can be used," Wei Yan said, turned his head to look at An Ruo and said: "Concubine Ding's leg injury is not good, so you can take this opportunity to take care of it." ”

"Yes, follow the emperor's orders."

This is already the best way for An Ruo to deal with it, not only to save her face, but also to facilitate the investigation of the case, but unfortunately she has not tested what Zhang Weiwei said, whether it is reasonable to press Geng Chongrong's head into the water and drown.

Perhaps in order to ensure that An Ruo had no contact with outsiders during his return to Zhaoyang Palace, the queen mother personally accompanied An Ruo and gave An Ruo a ride.

"This palace believes that you have nothing to do with Geng Chongrong's death, but now that the evidence is like this, you have to ask, otherwise Concubine Ning will never give up."

An Ruo raised her eyebrows and looked at the queen, and met the other party's smiling eyes.

She must admit that for a moment, this feeling of being trusted touched her, after all, although Wei Yan didn't do anything to her, he didn't clearly say that he believed her, and sure enough, it was the NPC of the queen mother who was more reliable.

"Thank you to the queen mother, but now it is far more than Xiufang's testimony, just now in the Qianqing Palace, there was also a guard Zhang who named and said that he was instructed by the concubine to drown Geng Chongrong."

The queen flashed her look and said comfortingly: "Concubine Ding doesn't have to worry too much, since the other party wants to pull you into the water, naturally there will not be only one person's testimony." As long as you sit upright, you don't have to be afraid of these unwarranted storms. It's just that the harem is closely related to the previous dynasty, and I'm afraid that pulling you into the water is intended to be Taifu, especially General Geng and Wang Taifu have a lot of discord, and the previous dynasty is about to be in chaos again. ”

An Ruo thought about the temperament of the cheap father, and felt that this mess might not be difficult for Mrs. Wang, who loves to act and has power, after all, there is a big deal There is a way to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle, just give up her daughter.

An Ruo, who was a little sad, returned to Zhaoyang Palace and returned to the palace to recuperate under the queen's arrangement, and all the palace maids and eunuchs, including Xiao Zhan, were taken away for questioning.

I don't know if it's intentional, or deliberate, but it seems to be a matter of course, An Ruo didn't get to eat the dinner that day, and there was no one in the entire dormitory who came to light candles.

Considering that these palace maids and eunuchs were about to be interrogated until late at night, An Ruo, who was hungry, had to fend for himself and dragged his injured legs all over the hall to find food.

As soon as he swallowed a piece of pastry, An Ruo heard the opening and closing sound of "squeak" from the window of the apse, followed by the sound of a person falling to the ground softly.

It was already dark, and all the palace maids and eunuchs in Zhaoyang Palace were being interrogated, and those who could come in through the back window at this time guessed that they were definitely villains.

There was no time to think about how the gangsters infiltrated the Zhaoyang Palace in the heavily guarded palace, and the most important thing for An Ruo now was to drag his injured leg to find a place to hide.

can't go under the bed, the first goal of the gangster must be to run to the bed; can't hide under the table, not enough concealment; Can't hide the wardrobe, the sound of the wardrobe door opening and closing is simply to lead the way for the gangster, as the man's almost inaudible footsteps approach, An Ruo's forehead oozed beads of sweat.

In the end, in desperation, An Ruo had no choice but to cry and hide behind the curtain with her injured leg.

In the darkness and silence, every sound that sounded in An Ruo's sensitive ears was enough to knock on her heart.

The man obviously went straight to the bed after opening the window, followed by a slightly puzzled "Huh", An Ruozheng felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, and the man's footsteps were already approaching her direction.

An Ruo swallowed lightly, and every sound of the man's footsteps seemed to be approaching her purposefully, and just as she prayed infinitely for the man to be blind, the man's footsteps stopped at the table where she had just eaten pastry.

An Ruo only felt that his heart was about to jump out of his mouth, and suddenly remembered that the pastry he had eaten was still on the table, and secretly scolded himself for being confused.

The man really found the pastry that he hadn't finished eating, and his lower lip pursed slightly, and he looked around, his eyes fixed on the curtain behind An Ruo's hide.

Without any further hesitation, the man walked in the direction of An Ruo, and just when An Ruo couldn't hold back and was about to shout Xiao Zhan, the man's footsteps actually moved away from him.

Before he had time to rejoice that the gangster didn't find out, he held his breath in his mouth, and An Ruo burped violently.

"Ahem! You can't help but keep your voice out, you can't pretend I didn't find you like this! ”

Wei Yan's voice of complaining came into her ears, and An Ruo finally knew who the villain who entered her palace was, so she said that there was a villain in the heavily guarded palace, why did she still aim at herself in such a framed concubine palace, and felt that this villain was our noble emperor.

An Ruo silently turned around and faced the wall, trying to redeem the embarrassment of her failure to hide just now, but she forgot that the thing of hiccups really doesn't mean control, it can be controlled.

"Hiccup~~"

After a short silence, Wei Yan couldn't help but finally laughed: "Hahahaha, okay, okay, don't make trouble, come out quickly!" ”

An Ruo felt that it was not very difficult for him to buckle a villa with his toes at this time, so he looked depressed, moved out from behind the curtain little by little, and said angrily: "The emperor came to find his concubines in such an unusual way late at night, didn't he want to learn from the person who stole incense and jade?" is not afraid of the concubines shouting out, and the palace will know about it. ”

Wei Yan realized that the little girl was really a little annoyed, couldn't help laughing, and teased: "I really want to steal incense and jade, but the beautiful woman's leg is still injured, and I really can't bear it." Of course, the most important thing is that stealing incense and stealing jade is not in line with our identities, and we can be above board, right? ”

An Ruo held back her mouth, her fart was above board, sooner or later she would press that button, and that would be called above board.

"So the emperor is here?"

"It's not that I'm afraid that you will be wronged, thinking nonsense in the hall alone, but I didn't expect you to have the heart to find snacks to eat. Why don't I take you to the Imperial Dining Room and take a stroll around here? ”
