Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 501
Zhu Heng quickly took out Ming Gong's imperial decree and explained: "Lord An, the younger one is also following orders. His Majesty has an order to ask Lord Cheng Rong to hand over the suspect cook. Otherwise, if there is no result after more than one day, the king will punish you." Yu Xiao."

"Cook lady? This is also a joke. I personally captured that strange woman in the suburbs. I didn't even have time to report to the king. Who do you want from the inner palace? Could it be that there are other clues?" Cheng Rong wondered.

"Maybe Master Cheng really doesn't know. Yesterday someone in the palace reported to the king that Huiyue, a maid of the Jianjia Palace, cooperated with the cook in the imperial dining room to steal the treasures in the palace. Therefore, the king heard that the offending cook was in the mansion of your lord. , in order to facilitate the trial of the case by the inner government, I ask you to hand over the criminal." Zhu Heng explained in a straightforward manner.

"Oh, so that's what happened. Since it's an imperial decree, please ask Master Zhu to take the prisoner away for interrogation." Cheng Rong stroked his beard and smiled, and asked Zhu Heng to take the prisoner away without any resistance.

"Master Cheng, what do you mean? Why didn't you refute it today, and handed over a clue of Concubine Jiang's poisoning and slander that we finally caught." An Tong looked at Cheng Rong, puzzled and said.

Cheng Rong smiled lightly at An Tong: "An Tong, although we have caught the clue, but within a day, Concubine Jiang took the initiative, and the villain sued first, and covered up the cook's theft. This crime is clearly because Concubine Jiang has spies hiding by our side, watching us all the time, and holding on to the cook at this time will definitely create rumors and opportunities for Concubine Jiang and her gang!"

"My lord is right, An Tong is dull, but An Tong is worried, once the cook falls into Concubine Jiang's hands, will Concubine Jiang kill her immediately?" An Tong worried.

"Don't worry about this, framing the Jianjia Palace for stealing is purely confusing right and wrong. Concubine Jiang suddenly came up with this poisonous plan to frame the blame. If she fails to do so, she will get angry and entangled. An Tong, we must be sober about this case. Brain, fight hard until Concubine Jiang is thrown into chaos." Cheng Rong has a well-thought-out plan.

Jianjia Palace, the quiet courtyard was overwhelmed by the galloping imperial guards. The former imperial eunuch Xiao Ruzi accompanied Zhu Heng of the inner palace, and stood respectfully outside the palace door, announcing the imperial decree, asking Bao Si to hand over the troubled maid Hui Hui moon.

"Nonsense! What evidence do you have that our Jianjia Palace is related to the theft case, and you came here to arrest people?" The hot-tempered Axi opened the thin curtain and asked Xiao Ruzi angrily.

"Aunt Axi, please calm down. This is the imperial decree of the king. We are all acting according to the decree. If Aunt Axi delays so much, maybe more court ladies will be punished." Xiao Ruzi persuaded with a smiling face.

"With me here, I don't think any of you would dare to take Huiyue away?" Axi's little face was flushed with anger, and he refused to let go.

"Sister Axi, Huiyue should go this trip for the young master. Huiyue is innocent, so she can't hurt the young master." Huiyue, with a gloomy expression, mustered up her courage and stood up.

"Hui Yue can't leave!" At this moment, Bao Si staggered over regardless of her sick body, and looked at Xiao Ru Zi angrily.
"Empress, aren't you embarrassing the slave? In fact, you just took Miss Huiyue to a hall. If Miss Huiyue is really innocent, she might be released at night. Please don't make things difficult for the king." Xiao Ruzi Persuaded earnestly.

"Xiao Ruzi, listen to me, if anything goes wrong with Hui Yue's visit, I will definitely not have any trouble with you!" Bao Si stared at Xiao Ruzi and said.
