Chapter 70: A Thorough Investigation
It was when the three divisions were tried, and there was another incident in the palace, and Prince Rui personally pressed the good hands of the three divisions to investigate the case in the cold palace, and the matter was soon restored.
The fire started in the dormitory of the cold palace, and it was able to burn so hard because tung oil was sprinkled all over the cold palace in advance, obviously, this was a deliberate arson incident.
Of the two serving palace maids, one had already wiped his neck before the fire, of course, it was not ruled out that he had wiped it himself, after all, the dagger of the murderer was on the ground next to the bed; Another maid died in the fire after being hit by a falling beam in the dormitory.
As for where the tung oil that is enough to sprinkle the entire cold palace comes from, it is due to the fact that the palace has turned a blind eye during this time, as well as the special preferential treatment of the cold palace.
After all, Concubine Ning's personal maid was ordered to go to the cold palace to deliver things, and Concubine Ding deliberately added a palace maid to the cold palace after redistributing the manpower.
Who is not a human spirit in the harem, not to mention that the cold palace just wants some ordinary tung oil, that is, if you go to ask for the nine-tailed phoenix hairpin, the Internal Affairs Office will also send it to you.
"Your Majesty, this is the consequence of lax palace rules, if it weren't for Concubine Ning and Concubine Ding taking the lead in showing goodwill to the concubines in the cold palace, there would be no chaos today. The ministers asked the emperor to severely punish Concubine Ning and Concubine Ding! ”
An Ruo, who was innocently cue, looked at Concubine Ning on the other side, and the two made eye contact and decided to be unanimous.
Concubine Ning sneered: "Lord Rui is a little arbitrary, it is the emperor who instructed the pearl to send things, why is it the palace that is severely punished?" The double standard for people can't be so obvious! “
An Ruo emphasized: "There is a huge cold palace, and only one palace maid takes care of it, even if you can't take care of the palace on a daily basis, can you let the palace go down and spend a lot of money to repair it?" Rui Wang Ye is afraid that he is not a family and does not know the cost of firewood and rice, just send one more palace maid, you can save a lot of silver, this is a good thing for the country and the people, the concubine really doesn't know where to violate the palace rules, Rui Wang Ye might as well take out the palace rules to explain to the palace? ”
Concubine Ning fiddled with the armor on her hand, didn't look at Prince Rui, and continued: "Even the person in the Internal Affairs Mansion has a higher eye than the top, and he should also know that there should be a quantity of tung oil in the palace. ”
An Ruo mended the knife and said: "There is also the palace maid who may have died by suicide, and there is a fixed number of material exchanges in the harem, can the prince find out where the dagger came from?" The concubine said something that she didn't like, this investigation of the case, you really can't let go of any detail, but when correcting mistakes, you must first have a key point. ”
Prince Rui was overwhelmed by An Ruo and Concubine Ning, pointing at the two of them, his hands trembling for a long time, and he didn't say a word.
"Ahem, you two take the point. Why should Uncle Wang bother with the woman, but what the two concubines said is right, why don't Uncle Wang let someone investigate again, and then convict the two of them after finding out? ”
Seeing that Wei Yan didn't mean to help him, Prince Rui said earnestly: "Your Majesty, you are also an uncle who grew up, how can you listen to what the woman says like this......
"How can this escalate to a gender attack! Prince Rui, don't say that you were also born as a woman, just talk about things, naturally whoever says it is right and who listens to it has nothing to do with identity, gender, or age. Oh, by the way, this palace is afraid that Uncle Rui Wang will be tired, and has already guarded the relevant personnel of the Internal Affairs Office, don't forget to take it out and ask one by one later, don't pay attention, don't let anyone die quietly, that's really unfavorable. ”
Prince Rui, who was blocked back by Concubine Ning again, glanced at An Ruo, who was gloating and watching the play next to him, and Wei Yan, who didn't seem to be partial, but didn't mean to stop it at all, after all, he was so angry that he threw his sleeves away.
"Ahem, Your Majesty, Prince Rui is responsible for supervising the three divisions to hear the case of your bloodline, and it doesn't hurt the concubines to do this, right?"
"Now that I think of it, Uncle Rui Wang is still in charge of this case? Why didn't you remember it when you scared someone? ”
An Ruo stuck out his tongue, mainly because Wei Yan didn't stop it, right?
Concubine Ning had a smile on her face, looking at the interaction between the two, the handkerchief in her hand had already been pinched out of shape.
"There are still affairs in the palace of the concubines, so they will not disturb the emperor. Doesn't Concubine Ding's sister go with the main palace? ”
An Ruo subconsciously thought that she was going to sleep in the Qianqing Palace, but Concubine Ning reacted when she said this, why did she sleep in the Qianqing Palace? Sure enough, it is going to be a habit to be formed by Wei Yan, and you have to stay sober!
"Ahem, my throat is a little uncomfortable."
Wei Yan looked at An Ruo pitifully, and the meaning was very clear.
An Ruo raised his eyebrows lightly, indicating that he understood.
"Father-in-law Yan, go and call the imperial doctor to come over and help the emperor prescribe a few pairs of throat moisturizing medicine, in addition, Yin Ronghua has just been canonized, and the person is injured again, why don't you let Yin Ronghua accompany the Qing Palace, so it is convenient for the imperial doctor to take care of it together."
An Ruo quickly arranged, smiled softly at Wei Yan, turned his head and kept up with Concubine Ning's pace.
Wei Yan held his forehead and was speechless, and after a while, he slowly laughed, and muttered dotingly: "Little slippery head." ”
Concubine Ning and An Ruo walked on the way back to the palace, so that the palace people who followed them were far away.
"You are ....... with Wei Yan now"
An Ruo glanced at Concubine Ning and immediately pulled up her sleeves to show her innocence.
"Don't worry, I said I wouldn't rob you. Although I did live in Qianqing Palace during this time, I really didn't live alone, and Yin Chongrong was also together. ”
An Ruo's eyes rolled, and he continued: "So, this NPC still has to use NPC to ride, look at how quickly this relationship heats up, Yin Chongrong can not live for the emperor, I will never be able to do it." ”
Concubine Ning turned her head to look at An Ruo carefully, wanting to see the flaws in it.
She didn't believe that Wei Yan hadn't revealed his identity to An Ruo so far, could it be that Wei Yan had never tried to use the identity of the young master of the Wei family to attract An Ruo after knowing that An Ruo loved money?
"What if the emperor is also a player?"
Concubine Ning stared at An Ruo tightly, refusing to let go of any small expression on the other party's face.
And An Ruo, who has experienced countless ups and downs, is completely free from this quiet performance.
An Ruo's face was full of surprise, and he whispered: "Could it be that the emperor is a ladyboy?" No wonder no! ”
Then his eyes became weird, he looked Concubine Ning up and down, covered her chest, took a step back, and said with a sad face: "Sister, I don't make an appointment." ”
Concubine Ning......
"You have such a big brain, Wei Yan is not a shemale! The devil wants to ask you out! ”
Concubine Ning, who was angry, turned around and left, leaving An Ruo and Xiao Zhan in place.
"Niangniang, this, can you really fool Concubine Ning?"
"It doesn't matter if you can't cheat! As you said, the day I became Concubine Ding, it was already the original sin, and believing it or not did not affect Concubine Ning's hostility towards me, but it was better to be later and milder than to come in a storm. ”
Xiao Zhan thought for a while and suggested: "Or, Niangniang, let's go out of the wall with red apricots!" Prince Xian is also very good! At least Concubine Ning isn't staring! ”
An Ruo patted Xiao Zhan's head and said speechlessly: "You were the one who blocked me at the beginning, and now you are the one who persuades me to go out of the wall, even if women are fickle, they can't be too obvious!" What's more, when the concubine went to hook up with Uncle Wang, this was her own death! ”
Xiao Zhan glanced at An Ruo who was walking forward, and muttered: "If it weren't for the slave maid's reminder, I'm afraid that even if Niangniang reflects the identity of Prince Xian, she will already have deep roots, this is a truly fickle woman!" ”
