Empress can't eat enough

Chapter 104 Zhang Huai Confids
That night, Zhou Fang asked Li Mu to go to the mansion to talk, and Wei Yingning did not know when he would return to the palace.

She only knew that he got up beside her in the early morning of the next day.

Where did he go and what did he do, Wei Yingning didn't ask too much.She only vaguely guessed that something was about to happen.

She herself was not idle, after Ah Man inquired about Zhang Huai, the guard of Concubine Xiling's garden, she came to his door to block him after he was off duty.

Zhang Huai was born in a peasant family, his parents died, and he was an orphan since he was a child. Now he is young and unmarried, but the house he bought in the capital city is very rich.

Ah Man said that not only this house, but also a dozen or so piles and shops under his name in the city of Kyoto, he seems to be a wealthy household.

This kind of wealth does not match his status as a guard of the imperial tomb.

By following the clues, he found out that the eunuch Wang of Fengwu Palace in the palace was his adoptive father who he worshiped when he was young, the son of a villager's family, and it was also because of this foster father that he was able to guard the imperial mausoleum.

"Who are you?" He had a pair of big copper bell-like eyes, and he was very fierce when he stared at people.

"Don't stare so wide, it's scary." Wei Yingning said, and then he was not afraid to tell him: "We are the people you have been looking for these two days."

The listener was startled, and immediately wanted to draw his sword.

Ah Man's eyes were quick and his hands were quick, he immediately held down his hand holding the handle of the knife, and said, "We didn't come here to fight with you."

Zhang Huai frowned, and finally relaxed a little.

"Aren't you going to invite us in?" Wei Yingning asked.

"Speak here if you have something to say." Zhang Huai glanced into his house, but prevented them from entering defensively.

Wei Yingning asked the question casually, but seeing that he was so defensive, he wanted to go in even more.

"It's okay to go in and sit around." She turned around and was about to go inside, "To stop you, we didn't even drink our saliva all afternoon..."

"Stop!" Zhang Huai stepped forward to stop him, feeling quite agitated.

This is not the reaction of ordinary people.Even facing the unwelcome of the uninvited guest, it may not be such a reaction-but why is the expression full of anxiety and fear?Is there something good hidden in his house for fear of outsiders looking at it?

"I don't even give you a cup of tea, it's not appropriate." Ah Man grabbed him and quickly subdued him.

Now, he had to let them in if he didn't let them in.

Who would have thought that when the gate was opened, the huge yard inside was empty, and it looked gloomy: the lanterns were hung with white lanterns, the gatekeepers were made of paper, and their noses and eyes were painted on. Of...the whole underworld is arranged!

Both Wei Yingning and Ah Man looked at Zhang Huai, wondering why he arranged the house like this.

"Want to go in and drink tea?" Zhang Huai was not afraid after being seen.He stared at Wei Yingning with a gloomy face, thinking that this would scare her and Ah Man away.

But is Wei Yingning an ordinary person?She even eats ghosts and is afraid of this?Without any fear, she said with a smile: "I want to drink, my mouth is really dry."

While speaking, she winked at Li Chongjian beside her.Li Chongjian understood, so he went to visit Zhang Huai's mansion.

Zhang Huai led Wei Yingning and Ah Man to the flower hall and poured tea for them.

"Who are you guys?" He had long wanted to ask, "Why did you enter Concubine Gao's tomb?"

"We are fighting against each other." Wei Yingning said nonsense, "I accidentally discovered that there is a secret passage in the imperial concubine's tomb in the imperial concubine's bedroom, so I have to go in and have a look."

"You're lying!" Zhang Huai said, "I've counted, and the number of funeral objects in the imperial concubine's tomb is not missing. Is there anyone who fights against each other and returns empty-handed without taking a tithing?"

"Then I also have a question to ask you." Wei Yingning said: "As the guards of the concubine's garden, knowing that we have broken into the tomb of Concubine Gao, why didn't we report it after two days? Even the Wang Si in the palace Man, your adoptive father, did you forget to inform me too?"

"Are you... sent by my adoptive father?" Zhang Huai's big eyes clearly showed a bit of fear.

"Don't panic." Wei Yingning said, "We are not with that eunuch."

Hearing this, Zhang Huai breathed a sigh of relief, and asked again: "What are you guys doing?"

At this time, Li Chongjian flashed in front of Wei Yingning, excitedly said: "Guess what I saw in the backyard of his house? A bronze coffin, which smells like the one in the tomb of Concubine Gao. I can be sure that Concubine Gao's body , nine out of ten times it will be put inside."

Hearing this, Wei Yingning grabbed the teacup and put it heavily on the center of the table suddenly, his face changed from the previous laughing look to revealing a bit of sternness, he stared at Zhang Huai and asked him directly: "Why did Gao The imperial concubine's immortal body has been moved out of the imperial concubine's bedroom?"

Zhang Huai's lips parted slightly, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists due to nervousness and accident. "You...how did you know?"

"I also know that Concubine Gao's fairy body is now in a bronze coffin in the backyard of your house!"

Zhang Huai turned pale with astonishment, and quickly lowered his head in bewilderment.

Li Chongjian's guess was right, the bronze coffin was indeed the corpse of Concubine Gao Gui.

"We are from Prince Huan's mansion. This time, we are here for Concubine Gao's immortal body." Wei Yingning signaled Ah Man to reveal his identity, and then said: "We have checked, although you are the righteousness of the eunuch Wang in the palace Son, but you have never done anything evil in these years. If you can explain what you have done now, I can ask King Huan to pardon you from death."

"The villain has no intention of offending Concubine Gao..." Zhang Huai lowered his head, and finally told the whole story of what he knew and what he had done.

It was the arrangement of the royal eunuch in the palace for him to be a guard in the concubine's garden.There is a secret passage in Concubine Gao's tomb, which was also told by Eunuch Wang.The eunuch Wang asked him to pour water into Concubine Gao's coffin every two months to ensure that the medicine that kept Concubine Gao's body incorruptible would not dry up.

Before him, Eunuch Wang arranged for someone else to do this job, but that person was suffering from an emergency, so he was replaced for this job.

Eunuch Wang told him that this errand was his life's errand, and if he did it well, he would have no worries about food and clothing and be prosperous forever.

He didn't want any glory and wealth, but Eunuch Wang had saved his life, and he wanted to repay the favor.

He did this for two years.But one day his colleagues chatted with him about the beauty of Concubine Gao when she was born, and he was curious for a while, so he wanted to see what happened.

It was this look that frightened him.

Who would have thought that Concubine Gao's body was not only soaked in the yellow medicine, but also tied up tightly with kelp!Only then did he begin to suspect the purpose of his adoptive father, the eunuch Wang, asking him to pour water into Concubine Gao's coffin every two months.

Boldly, he opened the kelp that tied the corpse, and found that Concubine Gao was covering her face with her hair and her mouth was stuffed with chaff, which made him even more suspicious.

After checking many classics, he knew that this is a secret technique to prevent people after death from being reincarnated.

"Then why did you bring her body back home? And decorate the house like hell?" Wei Yingning only felt that he was still hiding something.

"The underworld is not like this." Li Chongjian interjected.

Zhang Huai was at a loss, unable to speak for a while.
