Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 500
"What? Huiyue from Jianjia Palace teamed up with the cook to steal the treasure?" Zhou Tianzi Ming Gong couldn't help being surprised when he received the report from the inner palace. "

"Your Majesty, someone must have intentionally framed Jianjia Palace for stealing, trying to fish in troubled waters." Mei Gui, who served Ming Gong, quickly replied.

"Mei'er, how did you see it?" Ming Gong ordered the eunuch who presented the memorial to step down, and asked eagerly, grabbing Mei Guiren's catkin.

Mei Gui bowed shyly and said, "Because my concubine is very familiar with the maids in Jian Jia Palace, and everyone is very well behaved."

"It seems that you are very close to the queen?" Mingong looked at Mei Guiren's elegant face, and couldn't help asking in a puzzled tone.

"Your Majesty, the concubine really has no other intentions. It's just that the concubine is just observing with cold eyes. What is strange to the concubine is that at the same time as this theft case broke out, the imperial guards happened to capture the imperial dining room and fry it for the concubine Huan." The cook of medicine." Mei Guiren honestly narrated.

"Well, Meier, you don't need to worry about this matter. Today, I came to your Zijin Pavilion to see for myself whether you are used to living in this newly repaired Zijin Pavilion. How are you doing? Why not? If you are satisfied, you can tell me." Mingong put one hand on Mei Guiren's wrist and asked kindly.

"The Empress has always been very kind to the sisters in the harem, so this Zijin Pavilion is full of joy, and the concubines can only be grateful for the grace." Mei Gui respectfully saluted.

"Oh." Mingong didn't speak any more, but waved his hand and ordered the maid to pull down the thin curtain.

After the morning court the next day, Ming Gong had just come out of the Shuilong Shuren Hall in his shoulder car, and was about to go back to the study, when Zhu Heng from the inner palace suddenly came forward to report that someone in the imperial dining room had poisoned the concubine Huan's miscarriage medicine , the cook is now locked up in the mansion of the cabinet minister Cheng Rong, without an imperial decree, no one dares to bring the cook and the palace maid Huiyue for interrogation, and they seem to be particularly hesitant.

"Bastard, Cheng Rong's mansion is not the Ministry of Criminal Justice. How can you not hand over criminals? You immediately brought my imperial decree to Cheng's mansion to negotiate, and said that if you don't hand over the cook for more than a day, I will use his whole mansion to question you. In addition, Huiyue of Jianjia Palace, you and others will be imprisoned in the inner palace first, waiting for interrogation!" Ming Gong said angrily on his shoulders.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhu Heng quickly knelt down and said.

"By the way, Zhu Heng, what treasure was stolen from the palace? Has it been recovered?" Ming Gong suddenly remembered something, and immediately called Zhu Heng to stop.

"My lord, it's a golden cup and a water dragon cup made of gold, and it was found in the cook's bedroom." Zhu Heng insisted.

"That's weird, people in the palace stole, why didn't they run away with the stolen goods, but left the stolen goods in their bedroom?" Ming Gong frowned.

"Perhaps it's to conceal people's eyes and ears and avoid inspection. Let's go out of the palace first, and then find a way to get out." Zhu Heng guessed.

"Okay, Zhu Heng, you go on an errand. I noticed that in Cheng Rong's mansion, you must not be rude, but convince people with reason." Ming Gong nodded and told Zhu Heng a few words.

At noon, Cheng Rong had just returned to the mansion. Suddenly, the housekeeper in the mansion came to report that the Hu Ben Yulin army had surrounded the mansion. An Tong, the general of Hu Ben who was talking to Cheng Rong, couldn't help being very surprised, and hurriedly followed Cheng Rong out of the mansion to see what happened. Sure enough, in front of the gate, what came into view was a forest of spears, halberds and knives, and the leader was none other than An Tong's subordinate, the inner mansion Zhu Heng.

"Lord An, the last general Zhu Heng pays his respects to your lord." Seeing An Tong's anger, Zhu Heng hurried forward to salute.

"Zhu Heng, you kid, what are you doing with so many brothers to Lord Cheng Rong's mansion?" An Tong asked Zhu Heng with a changed face.
