Chapter 78 Shao
Lei Mo, who had always been eloquent, knelt down in a hurry and said in fear, "I dare not say it!"
"Since I dare not say, what's the use of me want you as an old slave?" Ji Shen said, "You go to the inner division and die!"
When Lei Mo heard the words, he quickly kowtowed desperately and begged for mercy. For a moment, blood had already oozed from his forehead. Seeing that Ji was deeply angry and did not feel sorry for his personal servant, You Eying hurriedly and said, "Cousin, take a breath of his anger first--" Then he scolded Lei Mo, "Superintendent Lei, you are also an old man who serves his cousin. Why don't you still know the importance? Question mark Since you are a cousin's servant, the head of the inner division, and also a royal slave! Now it's the imperial prelude again. There are always cousins who make the decision for you. What do you dare not say?!"
"The slave maid Xie Youying's guidance!" Lei Mo has been raising his dignity in recent years, and this kind of method of pretending not to dare to say anything is also rarely used. After knocking down like this, he was a little dizzy. Taking advantage of You Eying's words, he quickly went down the steps and said carefully, "I followed down... but those who did these things... are all related to Hualuo Hall!"
Ji Shen was shocked: "Really?!"
Hearing that there was still some trust in Zuo Zhaoyi in his tone, You Eying's eyes sank, and in an instant, she changed to coquettishness, pulling Ji Shen's sleeve and said, "Why should cousin be so surprised? Think about it, Lei Dajian is a close servant of his cousin, and naturally he is one of the most loyal to his cousins! How dare you cheat your cousin?"
She affirmed Lei Mo, and then raised her voice solemnly, "Superintendent Lei, although I believe that you dare not deceive your cousin, but what is Sister Qu's origin and what identity? You can't identify it at will! If there is no complete evidence, I will never forgive you!"
Lei Mo crawled on the ground and said tremblingly, "Old slave...How dare the old slave?"
At this time, Mu Biwei found an opportunity to speak. She asked timidly, "Speaking of which, since the matter is related to Zuo Zhaoyi, the two palace people of the concubine... did they harm Peng Lang? How can this...is that possible?"
"Mu Guiji listened to the thunder supervisor. It's also strange that these two people can't be named, but they look familiar. I don't think they are ordinary palace people in your palace!" Right Eying said lightly.
With this, Lei Mo said, "After listening to Cen Jian's story about what happened to Guiji Niangniang in the palace, he felt very strange in his heart. After all, he used the same method for killing the Empress and the third prince twice. That kind of insect can't be found by ordinary people, especially at that time and now, it has passed. At the hottest time, if you don't know the method, bugs will die in the water. Besides, the Empress has always been strict. If there is no thief, who can put such a dirty thing into the water related to the Empress and the third prince? Therefore, the old slave and Cen Jian turned over the records of the internal division overnight and found that today's palace maids and served Ge Nuo in Taining had a record of being punished in the fourth year of Taining!"
He Shiqi said, "This was four years ago, and now it has something to do with today's things again? What's more, it is common for palace people to be punished..."
"Xuan Hui's mother-in-law asked Rong Nu to speak from the beginning." Lei Mo said slowly, "When Taining was four years old, he was still called Diecui. He and Ge Nuo were rough in the palace, but the reason why they were punished was also the same - all because they offended Shao Qingyi beside Ouyang, who was in the new book at that time!
"At that time, Ouyang beauty was still Zhaoxun and the empress dowager's niece. After the two offended Shao Qingyi, they were naturally excluded in the palace, and even almost froze to death because their companions deliberately wet their cotton-padded clothes under their hair in the winter of Taining four years! But soon after, the Xuanshi Hall added manpower, but they all added it one after another! And it was also quite appreciated by the female official sages of the Xuanshi Hall at that time!"
Mr. He said with surprise and said, "Your Majesty, don't care about my concubine's mouth, but I can't figure it out. Since this tie and Ge Nuo offended Shao Qingyi at that time and were excluded in the palace, why were they transferred to the Xuan Room Hall in a blink of an eye? My concubine thought that the Xuanshi Hall was the place where your majesty lived, not to mention your majesty's benevolence, and the waiters around her were stained by your majesty, and many of them were also kind-hearted people! It's much more decent to serve in the propaganda room than other places, right? Speaking of which, this is an excellent job for ordinary rude palace people, but why is it his turn to offend Shao Qingyi's people?
Ji Shen frowned and asked, "Why is this?"
"Your Majesty, the old slave and Cen Jian feel strange because of this!" Lei Mo said in a low voice, "So the old slave... dared to interrogate the Shao family and the other maids of honor in the Hanguang Hall that year, who had been deprived of their share of Qingyi with Ouyang's departure!"
"What about the result?" Ji Shen narrowed her eyes and asked.
Lei Mo seemed to be extremely difficult to speak. After a pause, he paused and said, "Shao can't stand the punishment and has gone... Some of the other maids of honor have confessed... He said that at the beginning, these two people actually only passed near Shao Qingyi, and there was no place to offend Shao Qingyi, but Shao Qingyi suddenly said to themselves for no reason. It's rude to ask the internal department to give them some rules!"
Before Ji Shen asked again, he hurriedly continued, "And the reason why these two people were able to enter the Xuan Room Hall to serve is that they have been to the Hualuo Hall when they were still called Die Cui!"
Hearing the topic, it was officially related to Hualuo Hall, and several people who had prepared for a long time took a breath.
Ji Shen's face was gloomy: "What the hell is going on?"
"Your Majesty, I have figured it out!" He suddenly said in a delicate voice, "In those years, my concubine entered the palace a year later than Zuo Zhaoyi. When I entered the palace, I heard everyone in the palace recite the name of Zuo Zhaoyi's virtue. It is said that many rough-fated palace people also have great respect for Zuo Zhaoyi. Since Lei Dajian said that this and Ge Nuo were excluded to live because they had offended Shao. If I can't go down, my concubine thinks that they have no way out, and she must have gone to the Hualuo Hall for help?
Now it's August, and the climate is cool, but He still holds a fan in his hand. At this moment, he half covered his face and smiled gently. "Zuo Zhaoyi is the most virtuous and beautiful. Even the two rough palacemen, as long as they meet, how can Zuo Zhaoyi refuse their request? Besides, I remember that Zuo Zhaoyi had been in charge of the palace power before, and the relationship with the lost Fang Xianren was also excellent. What's the difficulty in arranging two people to enter the Xuan Room Hall? It's just easy work!"
Looking at Ji Shen's deep suspicion, You Eying pretended to be surprised and asked, "But what does this have to do with today's incident? You know, they have always been Mu Guiji's confidants over the years!"
Lei Mo smiled silently and said respectfully, "I don't dare to say which lady's confidant this Wan and Ge Nuo are! Just your majesty and ladies, please think about it! At the beginning, Shao had no grudge against these two people, and inexplicably slandered them to offend themselves... Then the two people were desperate and caught up with Zuo Zhaoyi's way to live here... The so-called people are not grass and trees, who can be ruthless? Your Majesty, ladies, how can they not be grateful to Zuo Zhaoyi?"
He was so frightened that he didn't even dare to mention it directly. He only dared to replace it with Hualuo Hall, but now he almost said bluntly that Zuo Zhaoyi was the real murderer of a series of things. The concubines present looked at each other and were silent.
Only Ji Shen didn't notice it and said coldly, "So they were instructed by Qu to murder Wei Niang and Sanlang?"
You Eying said doubtfully, "Cousin, this is not right! My cousin thought that Mu Guiji was pregnant before, but the first one told Sister Qu that Sister Qu begged the Empress Dowager permission to wait for delivery in the palace... I didn't know this until after the event. It can be seen that the relationship between Mu Guiji and Sister Qu was excellent - when Mu Guiji was waiting for delivery in the palace, she also asked Sister Qu to help raise Xiping Gong. Lord's?"
Mu Biwei had been silent and had to whisper at this moment: "My concubine and Zuo Zhaoyi do have a good personal relationship. Zuo Zhaoyi... There are many places to help my concubine, and she also loves Yutong very much."
You Eying shook Ji Shen's sleeve and asked innocently and doubtfully, "What the hell is going on?" Because she was aware of Mu Biwei's hesitation, she simply asked again, "Or did Mu Guiji, where did you offend Sister Qu without knowing it?"
Such an obvious hint, coupled with the current situation, Mu Biwei couldn't but express her position. She covered her sleeves and cried, "I really don't know! Every time my concubine goes to the Hualuo Hall, Zuo Zhaoyi treats my concubine very well. This... My concubine is also confused now!"
Dai and Jiao quickly spoke to help her speak. Dai said first, "Not only Guiji, but also a few concubines. Zuo Zhaoyi has always treated us very well. Now suddenly... this... even concubines can't figure it out!"
Jiao then opened her mouth and said softly, "This time, the third prince was almost poisoned. Guiji's mother is the birth mother of the third prince. She is worried day and night, like suffering. Now I'm afraid... she hasn't recovered all of it!"
After listening to Jiao's words, Ji Shen raised a trace of pity and said softly, "Wei Niang, take a rest first. I'll take care of it."
He said so, and You Eying couldn't continue to stare at Mu Biwei, so she had to glance at Dai and Jiao.
