Chapter 278

The moonlight is like water, sprinkled all over the courtyard.

When Liu Heng came out of the study, he saw the moonlight covering the ground like clear frost.

He took a deep breath, and the exhaustion from a day's work was also blown away by the passing breeze.

When going to Yanqing Palace, Liu Heng sat on the chariot and did not let people follow the usual route, but bypassed the Hall of Supreme Harmony and passed a quiet garden.

A group of people marched forward in a mighty way. From a distance, the lights were brightly lit. There were many guards and yellow gates accompanying them, but they were not chaotic at all. There were only footsteps and no other sounds along the way.

When passing by a dark palace wall, Liu Heng's thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a clear song.

"Thinking of the present, the green is withered and the red is falling. I will write sheep skirts and wear them when the new geese come. I am afraid of being in a hurry, so I refuse to send them and miss the appointment."

The singing voice is pure and beautiful, but the tone of the words is sad and melodious. In the silent night, the singing voice and the sound of the wind blowing the branches and leaves have a unique coolness and distantness.

Just as Liu Heng frowned, the first few yellow gates and guards immediately looked over with lanterns.

"Who is so bold in front, who doesn't evade when seeing His Majesty's frame!"

When Huangmen shouted, the singing lady was startled. After a pause, Liu Heng saw a panicked figure rushing out and kneeling in front of the car.

"The maidservant is just sad and didn't realize it. She was surprised to see Wang Jia. Please forgive me."

The palace lady's complexion was snow-white, seemingly sad, her brows were startled, tears were streaming down her eyelashes, she was wearing a fragrant and emerald palace gown, and she had a handsome figure.

In the moonlight, everyone was a little moved by her beautiful and unique face, and they didn't feel their minds stagnate.

Seeing that Liu Hengjiu remained silent, two tears streamed down the maid's face.

"Even if His Majesty does not forgive the crime of the maidservant's assault on the king's car, rather than bear the humiliation and commit suicide, the maidservant is willing to die dignifiedly under the guilt of His Majesty."

Bending down to salute, the maid sobbed and finished speaking, but she didn't get up, she still knelt in front of the car.

Hearing her seemingly hidden words, Liu Heng's eyes darkened unavoidably, and he asked her for details.

"The maidservant is the daughter of a sinful official named Hanyu. She was employed in Yeting in the 30th year of Jianwu and is now on duty in the laundry room. Chen Yuping, the steward of the laundry room, has a despicable character and often secretly bullies men and women. The maid Pu Liu He also saw her beautiful appearance, and frequently bullied her, intending to humiliate her. The servant girl couldn't bear the humiliation, so she escaped tonight, and would rather kill herself than be manipulated by him!"

Han Yu knew that she was stunningly beautiful, if she was stuck in the cold courtyard of the palace, sooner or later she would be doomed to be humiliated, so why not take a big bet.

Sure enough, Liu Heng was very annoyed after hearing Han Yu's words. Before that, he had done a lot of cleaning up of the harem, and dealt with all the misbehaving Huangmen found. He didn't expect that there were still fish that slipped through the net in the laundry room.

Liu Heng believes that in this harem, there should be more than one person like Chen Yu mentioned by the maid.It seems that the efforts to clear the payment last time were not enough, and not long after, some unruly people resurfaced again.

Since they are still secretly lustful and unwilling to give up, then he will make another round of payment with greater force and scope.

Originally wanted to go to Yanqing Palace, but thinking about the many things to be arranged in the future, Liu Heng ordered someone to resettle Hanyu for the time being, and then returned to Zhengqing Palace.

While Liu Heng was dealing with palace affairs, Han Yu's life experience and all his movements had been investigated.After receiving the investigative letter sent by the secret guard, Liu Heng looked at the few lines inside, and while he was meditating, he tapped his knuckles on the table unconsciously.

"Zhang's Hanyu, his father's death was Zhang Liang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment. He was executed for treason in the 30th year of Jianwu, and his female family members were consigned to the court...."

This court lady turned out to be a descendant of Zhang Liang, Liu Heng was very surprised.

He knew Zhang Liang, who was born as a military general and started a career in military industry. He was always courageous and passionate.
