Leader Lan Palace

Chapter 2257 Six Volumes 312 Suffering (4 More)
Hu Shijie didn't dare to disturb, so he quietly withdrew and asked the supervisor of the ice cellar.

According to the rules of the Qing Dynasty, each official position has a man and a Han member; even the supervisor of this ice cellar has a man and a Han member in each ice cellar.

Hu Shijie separated the two and asked each of them individually.Then he took the bottom file and a stack of "ice tickets" they provided, went back into the ice cellar, and handed it to the emperor.

At that moment of solitude just now, when the emperor walked out of the ice cellar, his face was already calm again, making it impossible to see the joy or anger.

The emperor sat down to take a closer look, squinting his eyes slightly, "On July 26, most palaces have stopped using troops. Therefore, since August [-], all the ice tickets received by the ice cellar are for this child Shunhua."

Hu Shijie nodded, "It's mainly from two masters: Master Ling and Master Xin."

The emperor spread out the ice tickets in his hand and sighed softly, "Concubine Ling has the most."

The summer heat in Beijing is unbearable, who would not want to use more ice?It would not be easy if this could save some ice from the ration; what's more, Wanxi gave birth to the Nine Princesses in midsummer and July.

Hu Shijie also nodded, "It is recorded in the bottom file that the chief eunuch Liu Zhu'er under the master's position also came the most."

The emperor decided to raise his eyes and focus on Hu Shijie, "She really... wanted to check from here."

Embracing and sleeping together last night, the emperor thought that Wanxi must have a lot of grievances to tell, or that she would tell him all the clues she had found in the past month-but the fact is that Wanxi is really just An An. I slept quietly all night, and didn't say a word about these investigations.

The emperor put the ice ticket and the bottom shelf on the table, and his eyes turned dimly, "Hu Shijie, from your point of view, you made the master clearly think of checking from the ice cellar—but why didn't she go on checking? Don't tell the outside world?"

Hu Shijie knelt down and said, "The emperor first forgives the slave's sin - the slave has already asked clearly. In the past month, no one else used ice in the ice cellar, and it was originally free, so the people who came here were the womb of the master and the master Xin." It’s just someone who came to deliver ice tickets in the womb.”

"But according to the two supervisors, in the past month, the people in the ice cellar are not limited to those under these two masters."

Hu Shijie quietly raised his eyes to look at the emperor, "...and the people in the empress's womb."
.
The emperor's long eyebrows were slightly raised.

"I understand. The reason why the concubine Ling didn't investigate further, and didn't even say a word in front of me, is because of this—since she sent someone to this ice cellar to wait for the rabbit, but the ones who came were the people from the Queen's Palace. If the investigation continues, or if it is made public, the queen will have to bear the blame."

Hu Shijie also sighed softly, "The six princesses happened in the Old Summer Palace. The slaves are duty-bound, and they have also checked carefully in secret. First of all, every summer, swings are installed in the corridors of the palaces, and the iron rings are placed in the beams under the corridors. Yes, it is very strong, there is no possibility of hurting the sixth princess."

"And playing on the swing itself has certain risks. Even adults, if they hit high, they may fall off. What's more, the sixth princess is still young. Since the sixth princess can catch a bucket from the swing and fall, it must be a The servants around her didn't take good care of them. If so, the nuns, ladies and eunuchs around the Sixth Princess will all be to blame."

The emperor nodded, "Therefore, they must try to see if there is any evidence of their negligence in Shunhua's body."

Hu Shijie sighed softly, "Master Ling probably didn't expect that the people waiting for Liu Zhu'er, one on the left and one on the right, were all from the Empress's womb. As Master Ling is a concubine and concubine, naturally he couldn't stand up and criticize the middle palace. That's why the master didn't mention a single word in front of the emperor or in front of the Six Palaces, right?"

The emperor lowered his eyes lightly, "...That's right. If she reveals the matter, some people will naturally accuse her of intentionally harming the middle palace and coercing the prince into plotting to be in the middle palace. She is a woman with the Han surname under Xin Zheku. In this harem, there is no longer any place to stand."

Hu Shijie knelt down and kowtowed, "According to the humble opinion of the servants who have been secretly investigating for the past month, the first ones who should be held accountable for the death of the sixth princess are the servants in the Queen's Palace. If you are young, you won’t hit the swing and fall to the ground. Then the foreign objects in your mouth won’t get stuck in your throat.”

"The second thing is to find out what is in the princess's mouth and where it came from."

The emperor nodded, "You are right, the first culprits are the slaves in the Queen's Palace! The Queen was not in the palace at that time, they must have been relieved one by one, and they became tired. And relying on the princess's young age , They don't take the princess seriously, so they don't take care of her at all."

"So when something happened to the princess, they only thought about how to get rid of their guilt. Whenever someone said that the princess died because of Lingfei's incense beads, they would try their best to shout together. Regardless of the truth, they would all blame the crime. Push it to Concubine Ling!"

Hu Shijie's bloodless face looked even more sinister in this ice cellar.

"Since it's a matter of the Old Summer Palace, this slave should be bound by the responsibility. Just wait for the emperor's word of mouth, this slave will take people to the Queen's Palace to arrest people! It's the official women and maids, and it's inconvenient for slaves to interrogate as eunuchs; but those in the Queen's Palace Eunuchs and servants must ask each one to understand first!"

With Hu Shijie's expression, even the emperor couldn't help shivering slightly.

The emperor raised his eyebrows, but shook his head, "No need."

The emperor didn't explain much, so he got up and went out.
.
In the Chunzheng Hall of the Tiandi Family, Wanxi faced Nala's expression of anger, and Concubine Xin cried hoarsely.

Outside the curtain, Concubine Yu's voice of greeting suddenly came: "I am a little late, I wonder if it is convenient for me to greet my master at this time?"

Nala's eyes narrowed, at least she is a concubine, and at any rate she is an old man from the hidden mansion, Nala could not help giving Concubine Yu this face.

Nalashi took a deep breath, "Come in."

Concubine Yu walked into the curtain, and she couldn't help showing surprise when she saw the situation of Wanxi and Concubine Xin.

Concubine Yu should first salute Nala family according to the rules, and then turned to look at Wanxi and Concubine Xin.

"The concubine and the master and the concubine accompanied Qiu Xi, and it was only in Rehe that I heard the sad news of the sixth princess."

Nala nodded.

Concubine Yu then turned to Concubine Xin, "Concubine Xin, you have to mourn and resign. Shunhua is gone, you still have the Eighth Princess. Don't cry to the point of failure, who should the Eighth Princess rely on?"

It's okay not to mention the eighth princess, but when the eighth princess is mentioned, Xin Xin feels even more sad from it - if she can choose, she would rather have the eighth princess have an accident, and keep the sixth princess in good health...
