Chapter 42
Chapter 42
Fu Renzhang left the palace on the front foot, and someone came to report on the back foot, "The imperial concubine has been assassinated..."
Emperor Jingli was furious immediately, cursed indiscriminately, and ordered the commander of the imperial forest army to quickly fetch the imperial concubine back. In the middle of the night, the city gates were wide open and the lights were brightly lit. In the middle, the army retreated.
In Ningyuan Palace, it was the same as before. The maids prepared rose petals to cover the soup spring early. With flickering candles, a woman surrounded her. Xiangsheng, I asked the court judge to see that all the medicines are the most expensive, and let the small kitchen make some non-greasy ones, don’t get used to his temper, do it quickly.”
The confidant maid's name is Zhaoxia. She and Xiangsheng are both born in the same family. They have served with the empress for many years, so naturally they have suffered a lot. She was still terrified of that knife, gritted her teeth and agreed, and turned to go out.
Before the clothes were changed, the other end reported that the majesty had arrived, and the woman in the inner hall raised her brows, already furious, stretched out her arms and hung up her robe, revealing a white wrist, Emperor Jingli just turned around Seeing a picture of a beauty, the beauty is so beautiful, only wearing a spacious robe, the delicate skin color of her thighs is faintly visible, as the woman walks, the jade bracelets and bells on her wrist are glowing green and green, which immediately provokes the man The Adam's apple rolled, "Beauty, after so many years, only you still make my heart obsessed..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhong Jingyun raised his hand and slapped him with a snap, and uttered two words crisply from his red lips, "Kneel down."
Emperor Jingli, who was calling for wind and rain in the court hall, actually knelt down with trembling legs, and looked up at the woman. Zhong Jingyun became angry when he thought of Xiangsheng's injuries, "I heard that you are quite chic in the palace." , don’t the beauties from the Western Regions still make you want to leave?”
After all, it was a whip. It was said to be a whip, but it was actually just a tendon. The cotton cloth wrapped outside did not hurt at all when hit on the body, but itchy. I picked up a longer one, "I was assassinated outside, and you were flirting with other women in the palace, why, your skin is itchy, isn't it?"
She was so suffocated that she lost her mind, and just slapped the man on the back. This is no more playful than the previous one, it is a real whip for horses. Emperor Jingli endured it for a long time before speaking in a low voice, "Aifei Didn't you suffer any injuries? I heard that a eunuch took his place, and the big deal is a reward, is it worth your anger?"
Zhong Jingyun stood behind him with red eyes, finally heaved a sigh of relief, changed to a short whip, and swept it around the back of his neck, "The eunuch is not a human anymore? Without him, the Holy Majesty would not be able to see me..."
Emperor Jingli got up and picked up the beauty, and said nasty words while going to the couch, "Okay, as long as the concubine is happy, I can reward him with something more. After going out for so many years, I want to spoil you..."
Zhong Jingyun's eyes were as clear and charming as water, and she pressed a whip against his chin to prevent him from getting close to her, and bit his shoulder angrily, "Hmph, if you don't get me a one, two, three, then don't even think about sex with me." bed?"
Emperor Jingli hugged her onto the couch, he knelt in front of her, and ran his fingers up his calf, "My heart, I haven't touched it for a long time, my heart is so distressed, pity me, can you?"
"No."
He suddenly kicked the man off the couch, the woman stood up and gave him a whip in the face, Emperor Jing Li turned his face to hide, looked back at her expression, immediately became ill, and quickly slapped himself on the mouth, "Don't be angry, you don't want to be angry again!" Hit, I don't hide, really, Jingyun..."
"Shut up, don't call me by my name, do you deserve it? Do you deserve it?"
The woman suddenly went crazy, and shouted at him while waving the whip in her hand vigorously. Emperor Jingli was so distressed that he couldn't add any more, his baby, stretched out his arms to hug her, and slowly comforted her, "I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it, okay, okay, I don't Touch you, don't touch me, I'll go out now, I'll go out right away..."
After going out, Emperor Jingli looked up at the dark sky, lowered his eyelids silently, and after a long time heard that there was no crying inside, he stepped out of Ningyuan Palace.
Zhu Jue was summoned to the Imperial Study Room alone, but he didn't see him all night. The statue of Emperor Jingli was much older. Zhu Jue stood respectfully at the bottom, listening to the slightly old voice above, "Zhu Jue, do you know why I asked you to attend?" ?”
It's hard to answer this question.
"The lower officials don't know, and they have violated the holy order."
Emperor Jingli looked at his drooping side face. Once upon a time, there was such a man who was so gorgeous in the world. After deep thought, he continued to say, "The imperial concubine was assassinated. I hope you will be impartial and do it for me." Open your eyes to see who it is, and don't want to make me feel better."
The last sentence, gloomy, shows the majesty of the emperor.
"I will do my best."
When Zhu Jue returned home, he called Chai Bolai first, "How is the matter of the imperial concubine?"
"There is nothing wrong with the noble concubine. She only wakes up around noon every day in the palace. She almost never leaves the palace. The servants are not allowed to enter the palace. Only a confidant maid and an accompanying eunuch can enter. So, our people can't find anything else."
oh?In her previous life, Concubine Zhong Guifei died in a fire, because she was discovered to have an affair with a man, the emperor was furious, and at the same time angered Fu Renzhang, so in this life, will she go to the hot spring village to meet a man?
"Did any man show up?"
Chai Bo looked at him in surprise, "Excuse me, the concubine will never see a man, except for the Holy Majesty, even the guards will not see him directly."
So, Concubine Zhong Gui was framed?To target Fu Renzhang?It's also possible, that's all, the eldest prince's matter should be resolved by himself, it's getting more and more difficult.
"In this way, Uncle Chai will continue to stare at the imperial concubine, especially the man beside her, and let people look after the male servant I brought back that day."
"Yes, don't you need to order food before leaving?"
Seeing him in a hurry, Chai Bo stopped to ask, Zhu Jue was in a hurry, and hurried to Dali Temple to wait before dawn, so as not to delay the matter.
It’s already Lixia, and it’s not cold even before dawn. Zhu Jue went there in a carriage, drank only two sips of tea, and then entered Dali Temple. He had been here twice before, so he probably remembered the way, so he went directly to the lobby at the back. Zheng Zhongyang was sitting and eating breakfast, the yamen servant led him over, the faint light just shone on his face, it really is a man who conquered nine thousand years old by his beauty, but he still passed the exam, I have to say, in Zheng Zhongyang's heart , he is just a straw bag with an empty straw.
He didn't even get up, and drank the porridge naturally.
Zhu Jue stepped forward to bow. After all, normally speaking, his official position is indeed lower than that of Dali Temple Minister. Zheng Zhongyang hummed and continued to eat buns.
Zhu Jue didn't feel embarrassed either, and sat in the armchair next to him, thinking about the past few days, how to deal with the eldest prince, Fu Renzhang and Tie Juan are safe for the time being, since he borrowed a knife to kill someone, then he will pay back as usual never mind.
Not long after, the servant of the criminal department came with several adults. This time Zheng Zhongyang stood up, greeted the two sides, and went to the execution hall. The man he caught was already bruised when he was brought up, and he had obviously been interrogated. Zheng Zhongyang sat in the middle hall, knocked down the gavel, raised his brows, and said in a gloomy tone, "Bold, don't kneel down yet."
Two yamen servants came over from the back and hit the man's knee with a stick, plopped down on his knees, the man still didn't speak, his eyes were determined, this kind of obviously looking for death, don't need to talk nonsense, the surname of the minister of punishment is Kang and his name is Kwon Yoo, Kang Kwon Yoo and Zheng Zhongyang will meet With a look, he signaled the yamen servant to put on the torture tools.
As soon as Zhu Jue recorded a sentence, he saw a bunch of instruments of torture coming up, but the prisoner's eyes showed no fluctuations. Kang Quanyou seemed to know Zhu Jue, so he turned to him and asked him, "Master Zhu must have never Having seen such a bloody punishment, why not go out and wait?"
Zheng Zhongyang also turned his head to look at him, the gentlemanly appearance of a man is really not suitable for this kind of place, why not go to a romantic place to drink and have fun?
Zhu Jue put down his pen, sat upright in his robe with his sleeves flicked, and said with red lips and white teeth, "Quan must have gained insight. If the next official loses his composure later, please forgive me, my lords."
Kang Quan Yoo only joked, after all, he is a nine thousand year old puppy, don't get too anxious to bite, so he just muttered and did it.
The yamen guards were full of instruments of torture. Zheng Zhongyang waved his hand, and the bamboo sticks were pierced into the prisoner's nails. There was a special thing to pad the root of the tongue. The continuous painful groans and groans were even more terrifying.
The prisoner had been tortured for a long time, and the prisoner still didn't say a word. Zhu Jue was relaxed and didn't have a chance to write, but it seemed that both of them had ugly faces, and they didn't dare to look relaxed.
At noon, I went to the back hall for dinner, Zheng Zhongyang didn't care about their appetite, and sat down with Kang Quanyou as usual, they were about the same age, had been immersed in officialdom for a long time, and already had a set of rules for survival, Obviously Zhu Jue was excluded, they sat in the hall and you talked about it one by one, "The matter of the noble concubine involves a lot, and it is impossible to investigate the hidden hostile person, there are other insiders in the villa ?"
"I've already gone to interrogate, and I only said that about ten people came up in a surprise attack at night, and all of them went straight to the bedroom of the main hall. At that time, there was only one eunuch, so I blocked the arrow for the imperial concubine."
Kang Quanyou's face was quite rich, and he was half leaning on the armrest, thinking, "Is the imperial concubine not hurt at all?"
Zheng Zhongyang nodded, "Indeed, that eunuch has some martial arts background, and the guards who were summoned after the sound of fighting came out. According to the guards, when they entered the hall, the imperial concubine was still sitting in the tent, and there was a faint shadow, and the eunuch The eunuch was injured, but he was still standing by his side, they went out after dealing with the remaining dead soldiers, this is the only one alive, and it was left by the eunuch."
"From the beginning to the end, the empress has never shown her face. Hey, she is such a good eunuch. Call me to ask questions."
After Kang Quanyou finished speaking, Zheng Zhongyang raised his eyebrows and smiled. Everyone in the court knew the temperament of the minister of Dali Temple. He was a ghost-faced killer. Don't offend anyone, otherwise, you will be tortured to death.
Just such a man who made the prisoners frightened laughed, Kang Quan Yoo realized, "Can't you come out?"
Zheng Zhongyang twitched the corner of his mouth, "The Holy Majesty just rewarded that eunuch and appointed him as the head of the palace. He can leave the palace at will and manage the House of Internal Affairs with full authority. If you want to see him in the future, it's not like there is no chance."
What?Head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?
Kang Quanyou narrowed his eyes, he didn't know yet, it seems that Concubine Zhong Guifei got a blessing in disguise...
Zhu Jue listened carefully from the side. In the harem, the concubine Zhong Gui covered the sky with one hand. I'm afraid it will be even more difficult for those concubines in the future...
The author has something to say: Zhu Jue: Your mother is amazing, thumbs up.
Fu Renzhang turned his head: I don't want to talk.
