Civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty, begging me to ascend the throne

Chapter 16 Cloak
As soon as the two arrived at Bailu Hall, they saw a group of kneeling court ladies and eunuchs outside the hall.

One of the palace maids was in a miserable state, not to mention her poor clothes, her body was covered with welts, the blood almost dyed her clothes red.

Seeing this, Jiang Yi, who has always been benevolent, felt his heart tighten, and stepped into the main hall quickly, followed by Li Yancheng.

When we arrived at the main hall, there were still golden pillars on the splendid eaves, and the whole palace was very prominent.

This made Jiang Yi frowned, even though he often came to Bailu Palace, he was used to the appearance of this palace.But just now, I have been to the palace of An and his sister, and it looks cold, looking at the carved beams and painted buildings in a blink of an eye, Jiang Yi always feels uncomfortable.

There was also a little eunuch kneeling in the center of the hall, his miserable appearance was even worse than that of the court ladies kneeling outside the hall.

The little eunuch collapsed on the ground, covered in blood, and his face was covered with welts. From a distance, he looked like a lump of blood.

"Crack" hit the 'blood man' again with a whip

Now Jiang Yi couldn't stand it anymore.

"Stop... who allows you to be so careless about human life?"

Jiang Yi looked up at the whipping man, extremely surprised.

Even Li Yancheng next to him was full of surprise.

"Anle? You...why are you doing this?"

That's right, the person who threw the whip is none other than our heroine Jiang Sile.

Why she punished the palace servants here, this matter started after Jiang Yi left that day.

……

At that time, Jiang Sile had just gathered the green branches, and she was the only reliable palace man by her side.

But it wasn't Jiang Sile who coaxed Lu Zhi about the poisonous soup.

Although the poison in that soup was not like what Jiang Sile said, oleander juice was mixed into the soup, but the soup was indeed poisonous.

And it also poisoned the mouse that Luzhi had worked so hard to find.

However, the bowl of soup was indeed completely non-toxic after Lu Zhi got it back from the ice storage.

The newly caught little mouse is still alive and kicking after drinking it.

This incident aroused Jiang Sile's vigilance, and she began to bring the palace servants into the bedroom one by one based on Yuan's memory for questioning.

Because the gate was guarded by imperial guards, one could not escape alone, so Jiang Sile took this opportunity to know all the little secrets of the palace people.

But for some things, it doesn't matter if you don't check them. Once you check them, you will find out the problem.

The sachet that Hongyu, the original personal maid, carried with her was poisonous.

The chubby eunuch Sande, who has a good relationship with Hongyu, has a lot of jewelry under his bed, which is suspected to have been stolen.

The hands of the other palace servants were not clean either. Jiang Sile found King Wen's badge on some of them. I don't know whether they are really King Wen's people or are they planning to blame King Wen?

What angered Jiang Sile the most was a court lady. When Jiang Sile interrogated her, she wanted to bite her tongue and commit suicide.

After Lu Zhi worked hard to save her, the tongue had been bitten off, and the maid's mouth was full of blood.

At that time, Jiang Sile only felt that something was wrong, even though Hongyu had hidden poison, she didn't resist so strongly that she wanted to bite her tongue.

When she searched the maid's hut carefully, Jiang Sile not only found the jewelry from the crack in the wall, but also found a package buried under the bed.

There was a cloak in the package, but this dress was not the usual dress of a court lady, and it had nothing to do with the owner of the palace, Princess An Le.

When someone checked the cloak, the female officer who came there said that the clothes seemed...as if they were worn by dead people.

When the dress was found, the new lady-in-waiting who kept it fell ill.

Jiang Sile had a strong warning in her heart, her intuition told her that Princess Anle's illness and death must be related to this cloak.

Although the medical officer found couldn't find anything, he strongly suggested that the cloak should be destroyed.

Only then did Jiang Sile understand why the maid bit her tongue and killed herself when she felt something was wrong, it turned out that she had done a lot of bad things.

But who is behind this scene, Jiang Sile still doesn't know.The only person who knew had the will to die and had already bit his tongue and was speechless.

When things got here, there was no clue.

Jiang Sile thought that there were no more hidden cards and all were bright cards, so let's play them openly.

See if you can't survive it.

It is because of this that the scene that Prince Jiang Yi saw happened.

"Stop!" Jiang Yi warned again and again, and after realizing that Jiang Sile still didn't stop his brutal behavior, he took the whip from Jiang Sile's hand and threw it to the ground.

"Brother..." Jiang Sile seemed not to believe that Jiang Yi would do this, his face was full of disbelief.

"How dare you treat me like this, woo woo woo!" Jiang Sile covered his face and wept bitterly, trotting back to the bedroom.

"Your Highness, Your Highness...His Royal Highness, servants go to see His Highness" Lu Zhi hurriedly saluted Jiang Yi and followed Jiang Sile to the bedroom.

Jiang Sile in the hall didn't have the slightest intention of crying, but instead smiled with unknown meaning.

"Why did Your Highness ask His Highness the Crown Prince to save that slut maid... She wanted to attack His Highness." Lu Zhi was puzzled.

"Don't panic... If we want to know something from her mouth, we can't... But my good brother can..."

"Your Highness is asking His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to help investigate this matter?" Lu Zhi didn't quite believe it. "But she lost her tongue, even if she wanted to, she couldn't speak..."

Jiang Sile picked up the round fan on the dressing table, shook it gently, and the smile on her lips did not diminish.

"Who said that only the mouth can tell the truth? What would happen if someone who thought he was going to die suddenly came back to life?"

"Your Highness wants to..." Lu Zhi's eyes moved, and he understood it in his heart.

"That's right. Speaking of which, the Crown Prince's East Palace doesn't have our people..." Jiang Sile was a little embarrassed. She wanted to see the live version for herself, but she couldn't leave the Bailu Palace, nor could she enter the East Palace.

"Who said there is no...Your Highness has forgotten that Mr. Fu is always thinking of His Highness..."
