The Emperor's Favorite: The Beauty Disturbs the World

Chapter 71 Miscarriage

Several days passed, Gao Lishi still couldn't find any clues, he was in a hurry, and when he was angry, he repeatedly scolded his apprentice Xiao Zhao Zi for being incompetent and unable to share his master's worries, making Xiao Zhao Zi run to Kunde Palace all day long, Ask Chang Xi to give him advice.

Chang Xi was heartbroken for Meier's miscarriage, and was determined to find the real culprit for her, but after a few days of busy work, she went all over Shang Palace Bureau, Shang Dormitory Bureau, and Shang Food Bureau to investigate one by one, but she still didn't have the slightest clue. .

In desperation, Gao Lishi had no choice but to ask Li Longji for instructions, asking if he could search the palace!Li Longji thought for a while, and gave him a definite answer: "Quite!"

After Gao Lishi got the order, he quietly took Chang Xi to search the Six Palaces after he keyed the door of the One Day Palace!Chang Xi originally declined in every possible way, this job is really thankless, she has not forgotten the scene in Cao Xueqin's "Dream of Red Mansions" where Sister Feng led the crowd to search the Grand View Garden, but she offended all the girls in that circle.Thinking that Wang Xifeng is the grandma of the housekeeper, and she is just a maid in the palace, and she went to search the palace, and she was scolded to death behind her back!
However, Gao Lishi insisted on asking her to follow, so he had no choice but to be a "dogleg". The search for the palace first started in the Queen's Kunde Hall to show fairness.

"Your Majesty! This old slave knows that you are angry! But this is His Majesty's will, you see?" Gao Lishi smiled all over his face, persuading the slightly annoyed Queen with her frowning eyebrows.

The queen helped the complicated bun on her head, held back her anger, took a deep breath, and said: "Grandpa Gao's words are off the mark, my palace is the head of the six palaces, so I should set an example! Search and search Bar!"

"Thank you for your compassion!" Gao Lishi hurriedly winked at Xiao Zhaozi and the others, and said, "Be quick, don't delay your rest, don't mess with anything, get out after searching!"

"No!" Several servants dispersed one after another and went to check each other. Chang Xi stood behind Gao Lishi, neither going nor standing.

Seeing her helpless expression of scratching her ears and cheeks, the queen waved at her and said with a smile, "Come here for a meeting. After they finish searching, you can go with Eunuch Gao!"

Chang Xi had no choice but to go to the queen's side and drink a cup of tea.

After a while, little Zhao Zi ran back and said, "We've searched everything! Even Miss Chang Xi's room has been searched! There are no foreign objects!"

When Chang Xi heard him say that his room had also been searched, he must have seen many love letters written by Xiao Yu, and his face immediately blushed.

Others didn't notice the change in Chang Xi's face, Gao Lishi apologized a few more words, and led them out of Kunde Hall.

Seeing that everyone had left, the queen sneered slightly.

According to Gao Lishi's position, the second one arrived at Concubine Li's palace. At that time, Concubine Li was talking to Beauty Liu, when she saw Gao Lishi came in with a group of people, and Chang Xi followed, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse.

Although Concubine Li was no longer as arrogant and domineering as before, she was still not someone to provoke, so she said coldly: "It's so late, and Eunuch Gao brought so many people into the palace's bedroom, I'm afraid it's unreasonable!"

Gao Lishi said: "Concubine Shu's miscarriage has not yet found out the murderer, the servant brought people to search the palace as a last resort, please forgive me, Concubine Li!"

"Searching the palace?!" Concubine Li stood up abruptly, her red phoenix eyes gradually elongated, she snorted, and said with a sneer: "I am the first of the five concubines, Concubine Li. A concubine Shu dares to come to me without a child." Searching the palace here, does this Xingqing Palace have no order of seniority and inferiority anymore!!"

Gao Lishi said neither humble nor overbearing: "Your Majesty's order to search the palace is your Majesty's, please forgive me!" The implication is that Zhang Kuang should go to Li Longji, and don't make a face in front of his servant!

"You!" Li Feiyu waved her hand, wanting to point at Gao Lishi's face and scold.

Liu Meiren at the side saw that Concubine Li was about to get angry. They had just lost Beauty Wang, and Feng Lu was getting out of control day by day. It was not appropriate to offend Gao Lishi again at this time, and she was afraid that Chang Xi would get a handle, so she quickly persuaded Concubine Li to stop, saying: "Your Majesty, calm down!" Turning to Gao Lishi, he said, "Do you want to search only for Concubine Li?"

Gao Lishi waved his whisk and said, "The empress's palace has already been searched. Your Majesty means that all the concubines' bedrooms should be searched."

Liu Meiren said on behalf of Concubine Li: "Since the queen has searched everything, please let Eunuch Gao go!" After speaking, she tugged on Concubine Li's sleeves to keep her from getting angry.

Concubine Li also knew that she was no better than before, so she had to temporarily suppress her anger.

"Go!" Gao Lishi gave an order, and everyone scattered to search. Chang Xi was unwilling to give up this good opportunity to spy on Concubine Li, so she wanted to sneak some of her things through the search.Concubine Li winked at Ning Xiang, the maid in charge, Ning Xiang understood, followed Chang Xi, and said with a smile: "Young lady is not serving in the Ganlu Palace, I'm afraid the search will not be complete, so let the servants come and unlock the lock for you."

Chang Xi declined with a smile: "This is just a routine, so don't bother!"

Concubine Li said coldly: "Other! If you want to search, do a thorough search! Save yourself the trouble of someone going to your Majesty's house to say that I'm not, Ningxiang! Open it for her!"

Chang Xi had no choice but to let Ningxiang follow her, and simply opened a few innocuous boxes, and the plan to investigate the Ganlu Temple fell through.

"Have you searched yet?" Concubine Li saw the servants who were empty-handed.

Gao Lishi said: "The search is finished, this old servant will leave now, and I will never disturb Li Fei you to rest!"

Li Fei said indifferently: "This is disturbing, but did you find anything? Like drugs, musk, etc."

"It's not there, Madam, please rest assured." Gao Lishi said.

"I don't have anything to worry about, but I'm afraid that if I can't find anything, others won't feel at ease!" Concubine Li couldn't hold back for a while, and returned to her aggressive nature.

Gao Lishi hecked twice, said his resignation, and led his disciples and servants out of the palace gate.

Seeing them going away, Concubine Li spat hard and said angrily: "What concubine Shu! It's just a slut from the Jiaofang Secretary! She is unlucky if the child is gone, so what have we to do! Your Majesty wants to find out the truth. Fierce, let Gao Lishi search the palace for this bitch, how can you be so sure that she was murdered by someone, not her own fault?"

Liu Meiren handed a cup of fragrant tea to Concubine Li, and comforted her: "Your Majesty, don't be angry with her, her good days are not long! It's okay to make a fuss like this, for if you hear that you will fall when you climb a high place, when the Dongchuang incident happens, look at it." Can she save her own life!"

Concubine Li sneered, playing with a strand of long hair in her hand, "I am waiting for a good show!"

"Concubine Li has been confined for a long time, she was quite honest when she was released, but now she is restless!" Xiao Zhao Zi commented relying on Gao Lishi's favor.

Gao Lishi said: "What are you doing with her! Let's go to Empress Hua!"

Concubine Hua was urging her son to study, and when she saw Gao Lishi coming, she was so happy that she thought that Li Longji was going to call her tonight, so she covered half of her face and said with a delicate smile: "Why is Eunuch Gao here at this time? If you don’t inform me earlier, I won’t prepare anything!” Saying this, she was going to order the maid to prepare fragrant soup for bathing.
