The only favorite Qing Palace: Concubine Xi An

Chapter 426 Security Issues
Fourth Master, who originally thought that there was nothing worse, stood up from his chair after hearing what Su Peisheng said.

What happened in Yuanmingyuan?
"This matter must be strictly investigated." The fourth master said: "In the next few days, more guards will be patrolling around. Anywhere in the Old Summer Palace must be guarded, and there must be no dead ends. In addition, Xing Outside the Huachun Pavilion...send a few people too!"

"Slave complies with the order." Su Peisheng replied, and then retreated fearfully.

Fourth master didn't publicize this matter, because he didn't want to cause too much commotion.

In the afternoon, Su Peisheng also led people to search for the cause of Qian'er's death in private.

According to Concubine Mao, Qian'er came out yesterday to pick flowers and plants.However, there are actually a few flowers near Concubine Mao's residence, and it is obvious that Qian'er has some problems when she goes to such a secluded place.

As a result, after going back and forth, Su Peisheng found out the depths of the cave.

"This is where my brothers study their homework!" Su Peisheng hesitated as he looked at the plaque outside.

It's either elder brothers or masters.If it is really one of them, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult to explain to the emperor!
"Yesterday, what happened in the depths of the cave?" Su Peisheng found a eunuch on duty, and asked, "Have you seen a maid come here before? She looks more handsome and not very tall."

The eunuch on duty, saw his elder brothers after school yesterday and followed him away.Now when Su Peisheng asked about yesterday's incident, the eunuch could only bite the bullet and reply, "No!"

Su Peisheng stared at the eunuch, then looked away.

Exactly half an hour later, it was time for the brothers to leave school.Su Peisheng felt strange when he saw his elder brothers coming out one after another.

Where did the third elder brother go?
"Hello, Mrs. Su." Hongli and Hongzhou were walking in front together, and they saw Su Peisheng standing there.

"Fourth elder brother and fifth elder brother are well." Su Peisheng looked at the two of them, and simply asked: "Yesterday, there was a palace maid next to Concubine Mao who disappeared, she said she came here, can you see the two elder brothers?"

"Yesterday?" Hong Zhou thought for a while, and replied, "Yesterday, fourth brother and I left early, and sixth brother and third brother are behind, you might as well ask them."

"The slave doesn't seem to have seen the third elder brother, why is the third elder brother still studying in there?" Su Peisheng wondered.

"Third Brother has gone back." Hongli said: "Third Brother is not in good spirits today. Master saw him and asked Third Brother to go back and rest. What's the matter, what happened?"

The disappearance of the palace lady is really a big or small thing.

"It's nothing." Su Peisheng said: "The maid made a mistake and was afraid of being punished, so she ran out."

Hongli rolled his eyes and saw that Su Peisheng was obviously hiding something, but he didn't want to ask too many questions, so he took Hongzhou and left the depths of the cave.

After walking a long distance, Hong Zhou pulled Hong Li and said, "Fourth brother, do you really believe that a maid made a mistake and ran away?"

Of course I don't believe it, but what can I do?
"I don't believe it." Hongli said: "Why, you also see the problem?"

Hong Zhou smiled, showing a complacent expression, and said: "It's natural. There are so many court ladies around Madam Mao, but one of them committed a crime and ran away, and surprised Eunuch Su?"

Su Peisheng was the most embarrassing eunuch around fourth master.How can I bother Su Peisheng to deal with idle matters.

So, as long as you see Su Peisheng on the move, there must be some serious event.

"That makes sense." Hongli nodded and said, "But since Eunuch Su doesn't want to talk about it, we don't have to make it too public."

Obviously, it wasn't that Su Peisheng didn't want to make a statement, but that Fourth Master didn't want to make a statement.Therefore, the two of them did not dare to make trouble.

As for Su Peisheng, after listening to Hongli's words, his heart skipped a beat for some reason.

Yesterday, Hongshi, bad spirits.

The combination of these words always made Su Peisheng feel a little more uneasy in his heart.

On this day, when Lan Xin suddenly found that there were more guards on duty around the Xinghuachun Hall, she also realized something was wrong.

"I'm looking at you, servant girl. I'm afraid that the emperor is worried about your safety because he sees you are pregnant?" Huan Pei thought, probably that's the only reason.

Having said that, Lan Xin still felt a little uneasy.

It happened that in the evening of that day, when Hongli came back, he talked to Lan Xin about what happened in the depths of the cave as usual.

"In the past, the third brother said that he often lost his mind, but he didn't expect him to fall asleep in class today." Hongli said: "As a result, he was scolded by the master."

After what happened yesterday, Hongshi felt uneasy.I didn't sleep well all night, and I had to force myself to come to class the next day.

In the end, I don't know if the teacher's lecture was too boring or what, Hiroshi fell asleep in class.

Seeing this, the master woke up Hongshi.

Hongshi's spirit was very bad, and his eyes were bloodshot.The master immediately thought that Hongshi was ill, and it was not good to punish Hongshi like this, so he asked Hongshi to go back to rest.

"So, people in the depths of the cave now say that the third brother studies diligently, even if he is not in good spirits, he still rushes to come to class." Hongli smiled, and his words were a little bit joking.

He couldn't be more clear about what kind of person Hongshi was.

If it is said that studying late last night led to bad spirits today, Hongli must be a hundred unbelievers.

But as for the real reason, Hongli didn't know.

In fact, Hongshi was just guilty of being a thief, and he was afraid that if he didn't come to school today, he would be suspicious.The result came, but it still ended up going back to recuperate.

"Although your third brother is not very tempered, he is still your elder brother." Lan Xin said: "As a younger brother, you should also respect your elder brother, you understand?"

Hongli nodded, although he was still not very reconciled.

"By the way, Er Niang." Hongli remembered Su Peisheng's coming, and said again: "A court lady next to Mao Niang Niang made a mistake and ran away, do you know?"

Lan Xin was stunned, shook her head and said, "Emiang doesn't know, how do you know?"

"Oh, my son also heard what Eunuch Su said." Hongli said: "The maid next to Madam Mao is missing, please ask Eunuch Su to help find it. It's a trivial matter, Er Niang should take good care of her body."

Obviously, Hongli didn't want Lan Xin to worry too much.

It turned out just right, and it just so happened that Lan Xin's doubts increased a bit.

"I don't know what's wrong with this court lady." Lan Xin said seriously: "In the past few days, you always have to be careful."

Even outside their Xinghuachun Pavilion, there are too many guards.

As a result, Lan Xin stayed in the Xinghuachun Pavilion for two consecutive days.In the same way, Jing Hua and Hong Xi were also restrained from letting them out.
