Concubine Hanhan's Concubine Gongdou

Chapter 216
For the last time, Cao De personally went to set up a net, just when he thought it was safe, he took the poison immediately and died instantly, so the Internal Guard only brought back one corpse.

On the way back, whenever he thought of this person, Cao De would be filled with hostility, and he almost caught him, but was spoiled by a bastard under his command.

It was a fluke for this brat to wear tattered official boots, but he was caught by the clues, which led to the failure of his success and his failure!

After this kid came back, he was whipped severely by him. Now he is recuperating in bed.

Since Cao De was in charge of the Internal Guard Department, he has always gained something from his actions, and he rarely returns empty-handed, so why not annoy him by making him busy this time.

But this person is really as cunning as a fox, sensitive and suspicious, so broken and dirty a pair of boots, even if thrown to a beggar, he will not take a second look, but this person can actually find out that he is really delicate in his observation.

The most important thing is that this person is cruel enough to himself, he never even thought of escaping from life by chance, and he directly committed suicide by taking poison, and this result is not considered injustice.

If it wasn't for the enemy and us, Cao De thought, if this person was brought to the Internal Guard Division, he would be a capable official.

Cao De became more and more curious about who was behind this scene, who made this talented person willing to die.

After hearing his report, the emperor said coldly: "So, the clue is broken?"

Cao De calmed down a little, and replied: "Not yet, even the dead body has to be found out. The minister sent someone to take a portrait to find out that this person had haunted Baoxiang Pavilion. But he was recognized by the shopkeeper of Baoxiang Pavilion. This person was very generous, and bought a box of secret Yuyan ointment from the shopkeeper at a high price. This ointment has a very famous name, and there are countless boxes. Who sold it to? , the shopkeeper is very clear."

Speaking of this, Cao De sneered, this person is meticulous, but there must be a sparseness in every secret.

Baoxiang Pavilion is the largest makeup shop in central Beijing. It specializes in the business of nobles. If you can be the shopkeeper of Baoxiang Pavilion, what can you do if you don't have any skills.

As for the shopkeeper of Baoxiang Pavilion, the first talent is to recognize people, and people can see through the skin to see the bones. This is a secret only known in the cosmetics industry in Beijing.

No matter what, this person would never have imagined that the shopkeeper of Baoxiang Pavilion would have seen through what he thought was perfect.

It was precisely because he concealed his appearance that the shopkeeper of Baoxiang Pavilion paid more attention to him. When the people from the Department of Internal Security took the portrait, the shopkeeper of Baoxiang Pavilion felt familiar, so he led the shopkeeper of Baoxiang Pavilion to see it. The corpse was finally identified.

Cao De paused, and then said: "I checked where the secret Yuyan ointment appeared recently, and also checked the whereabouts of the secret Yuyan ointment in the past few months. Compared with the two, only two boxes are unknown. The whereabouts, one box entered Xue's mansion, but no one was found to be using it, and the other box was bought by the person who did not know where to go. And on the day when the worms appeared in the Canglan Courtyard, the little beauty happened to receive a box of secret Make Yuyan ointment, you say it’s a coincidence.”

As he spoke, he took out a box of balm from his pocket and threw it into the air.

This person came to Beijing with a purpose in every move, since he bought the balm, he would definitely use it in key places, so he also secretly checked in the palace, and sure enough, a box appeared under his nose.

The emperor was startled when he saw the balm, and was keenly aware of something wrong: "What is the name of this box of balm?"

The corner of Cao De's mouth twitched into a sneer, and he said coldly: "There is nothing wrong with this box of balm, but most people don't know it. Pregnant people use this balm too much, and they can slip their tires." Heavy.

He checked, and found that the box of ointment had not been tampered with, it was still intact. Even if something went wrong, this box of ointment alone would not be able to incriminate anyone. It was a very ingenious strategy.

The so-called caring is chaotic, the emperor didn't have time to think about it, he raised his foot and wanted to walk to the side hall to see if his little concubine was okay.

Cao De hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't worry, this box of balm has never been in the hands of the little beauty. Such insidious tricks, with Nanny Qi around, naturally they will not succeed."

The emperor heaved a sigh of relief, and broke out in a cold sweat. Luckily, Nanny Qi was in charge, otherwise the people below would not understand, and they would use it for their nannies, and the consequences would be disastrous.

The emperor gathered himself together, and asked with murderous intent: "Who gave the ointment? Did this box of ointment enter Xue's house, or did that person buy it?"

He grew impatient at the thought of his people being under the intrigue.

"It's a congratulatory gift from Cairen Sun. The secret Jade Face Paste Baoxiang Pavilion is afraid of being counterfeited, so I made a special imprint in secret. I'm going to take it to the treasurer of Baoxiang Pavilion to recognize it tonight."

The emperor stroked the jade pendant on his waist, squinted his eyes in thought, and said after a while: "Take Sun Cairen into prison and interrogate him."

Cao De said "Hey", raised his eyebrows and said, "Why are you still so ruthless, after all, she is also your concubine, and she was arrested and interrogated before she found out? What if it is a coincidence?"

The emperor only gave him a cold look, which made Cao De's scalp tingle, and quickly changed his words: "My emperor is wise, there is no such a coincidence in the world, let alone the secret Yuyan ointment sent by Sun Cairen, it is her own. The idea, or who gave the instructions, at this critical juncture, it is inseparable, it should be caught, it should be caught."

"It's really a coincidence, so what?" The emperor left, and the man strode away, his daughter was still waiting for him.

Cao De rubbed his nose. When he came back this time, he thought that the emperor was warmed by the little beauty, but he was so cold. Being his concubine is really miserable.

Oh, no, it's really miserable to be a concubine other than a little beauty!
He didn't know whether to say whether the emperor was ruthless or affectionate. In the entire harem, maybe the emperor's tenderness was only given to one person, which was considered rare, and it was better than no one had ever given it before.

Cao De shook his head and stopped complaining. He hadn't taken a bath today, so he hurried to the palace after finding out the clues, and waited for the emperor for a long time. At this time, his whole body was sticky, so he went back to take a bath first.

According to his intuition, the balm that appeared in Canglan Courtyard was probably specially designed, not a coincidence.

A vicious person knows a vicious person better. If he is the person behind the scenes, he will definitely design it like this. One link after another, that is, if the worm fails, and the balm is used as a backup, the two-pronged approach will have an outstanding curative effect.

The secrets in the palace are hard to guard against, and it is easy to get caught if you are not careful. He has seen it a lot.

On the second day, news spread from the palace that Sun Cairen contracted a serious illness and temporarily moved out of the palace.

Lianhua didn't know about these things, even the emperor transferred two maids and one eunuch from the Palace of Stars to work as handymen and put them in the care of Nanny Qi, who was nominally owned by Nanny Qi, she didn't know either.

She didn't even know when there was an undercurrent in the harem, and the news that she was pregnant quietly spread, and it was getting stronger and stronger.

All her attention was on preparing to visit Xu Zhaoyi in Huaying Hall, even if there was no such thing, the emperor would not let her know about those messy things.
