Chapter 438 Accidental eavesdropping
Yan Hu felt that he probably forgot to worship some gods recently, so all the unlucky things happened to him.
Before Liang Shao ordered him to monitor Zhao Yawei, Lu Qingyao also came to him and forced him to deliver medicine to Mrs. Lu in the palace.
Do he dare to refuse? He dared not. After seeing Lu Qingyao's kung fu, Yan Hu was even more scared than Liang Shao. The little girl looked petite and cute. She didn't even blink her eyes when she killed Xuanyuan Zhi, and she was still stunned. The scene made people still feel furrowed when she remembered it. What's more, she was protected by Liang Shao, the big Buddha, and even lent Yan Hu ten lives to Yan Hu.
This is the third time that Yan Hu has come to deliver medicine. Mrs. Lu’s medicine is refined by Jueming himself and sent it to him that day, so that it can prevent anyone from making memos.
Before the morning court was retreating, Yan Hu led his men to patrol the palace. As he walked, he felt a little anxious to pee. He said hello and then urinated.
In this flash, he naturally shook to Fanghuayuan and sent the medicine in according to the code agreed before. Yan Hu didn't dare to stay for too long, so he came out immediately. He only hoped that Mrs. Lu's body would be healthy quickly. Miss Lu would quickly find a way to get the person out, otherwise he would rack his brains to think of various excuses every day, and he was afraid that he would not survive in his thirties. God knows that now, let alone enter Fanghuayuan, it would be close to this yard that was surrounded by iron buckets. How much risk it would be and how difficult it would be.
After a hurry away from Fanghua Garden, Yan Hu's mood became more and more relaxed, staying away from right and wrong, safe and long-lasting.
"Hey, Sister Qing, I heard that the Baohua Palace almost went crazy last night?"
Yan Hu, who was about to pass through a forest, stopped and hid in the bushes. He was so tired that he could find out wherever he had done. He was worried about how to inquire about Baohua Palace, and the news came to his door.
Yan Gu is the best at eavesdropping on the wall feet. In the palace, there is no eternal secret, and there is no airtight wall. Usually, these palace maids and eunuchs are worried when serving their masters, tense, and dare not breathe for a moment, and they are scolded at any time. The biggest pleasure in private is to gather together and carefully discuss what kind of makeup a certain master has applied today and what clothes he wore yesterday. Of course, this kind of gossip cannot be big, and two or three people are the most. In the palace, who doesn't know the reason for the disaster comes from the mouth? Therefore, these two palace maids who dare to discuss the matters in the palace in private must have a very close relationship.
Yan Hu was not interested in what a person looked like, so he just put up his ears and did his spy work seriously.
"Speak quietly, this is a matter of Baohua Palace."
"You are a person who works in the palace of the Queen Mother, what are you afraid of? It's not like me, I can't even see the nobles in the Shangshi Bureau, and I envy you so much."
"You girl, I still envy you. Do you think it's so easy to be a job with noble people? You just have a lot of thoughts."
"Oh, Sister Qing, don't be born in blessings and don't know how lucky you are. It's rare for us to meet each other. This is the green mud paste I just made today. Try it. Tell me, what kind of person is the Empress? Why did she get angry last night?"
"You, stop talking nonsense, how could you get out of trouble?"
"I heard what my father-in-law Shun said when he came to the kitchen this morning."
"Shh, you said that there was no fire, but just knocked down the oil candle. The news is really, the more it spreads, the less it becomes."
"Who knocked over the candle? Didn't the Empress blame him? He is so generous."
"Yes, it's the Empress herself."
"Ah? Why is it? Is there no one to serve the Empress?"
"I don't know the specifics, but I happened to be on the night before yesterday. It's strange. In the second half of the night, I heard a sound in the Empress's room. I thought she was about to get up at night, so I planned to go in and serve her. But I seemed to see that there were more people in the room. It seemed that she was a man, and I was almost scared to death."
"Ah? Then... how is that possible? How could there be a man in the Empress's room? You must have read it wrong."
"I don't know either. Maybe it's because I was really confused. Or I had a dream? Because I fell asleep somehow later and woke up in dawn."
"Hahaha, Sister Qing, then you must be dreaming."
"Well, then this dream is quite real. I also dreamed that the man was wearing plain clothes and he was obviously not from the palace."
"It's impossible. The palace is heavily guarded and even the male mosquitoes cannot fly in. How could there be a man outside? But what does this have to do with the water?"
"This is a strange thing. If you say I just had a dream, then I dreamed that the man gave the Empress a letter. After reading it, the Empress wanted to burn the letter, but accidentally knocked over the oil candle. Didn't she hear about this when she woke up in the morning? You said, is this my dream?"
"This... this, Sister Qing, I don't know this either. But I was so scared. You should stop talking and just pretend that you have never had this dream."
"Yes, I'm very scared, and I can't tell anyone. Now I've told you, don't tell me."
"I know I know. If I don't say it, we won't say it. Sister Qing, let's go quickly. I think it's gloomy and terrifying here."
"Okay, okay, go quickly, I should go back."
After the two left, Yan Hu walked out of the bushes, looked around, and left quietly again.
Yan Hu returned to the imperial guard station with a serious expression, and admired Liang Shao in his heart. The Lord is the Lord, how could he know before he knows that there must be something strange about Baohua Palace? And he even hit it as soon as he said that this imperial concubine is indeed not a simple person.
The man who was outside the private meeting in the middle of the night, who was that person? What letter did he send?
Yan Hu decided to go to Liang Shao after he went home today and tell him about this.
But Yan Hu never expected that he had heard the corner of the house in the morning and something happened in the afternoon.
"Who? Who died?"
An imperial guard said again: "A palace maid died in Baohua Palace. She fell into the pool and was drowned."
Yan Hu glared at his subordinates angrily: "Everyone dies in the palace every day, what's up to us?"
"Head." His subordinates approached him, "The problem is that two corpses were salvaged from the pond, one was Chu Qing, the grand palace maid of Baohua Palace, and the other palace maid in the kitchen was Chen Dong'er, and the two were fellow villagers."
"What's the name?" Yan Hu jumped up in an instant.
"Chu Qing, Chen Dong'er."
Yan Hu was so shocked that he didn't close his mouth for a long time. Baohua Palace, the dining room, Chu Qing, Sister Qing, this was not an accident at all, it was just a conspiracy. It was Zhao Yawei's move, it must be her.
"Head Yan, you can see this..."
If they were just dead, they would not need their Imperial Guards to come forward. But if two were killed at once, they were still palace maids of different identities. They could move them to him, proving that someone had opened up the matter. Of course, no matter how troubles were, it would be just a tit-for-tat and intrigue between the concubines. Their Imperial Guards came forward, just to go through a formality and show their importance. The so-called thorough investigation is mostly left alone. As long as it does not endanger the safety of the emperor and cause trouble to the government, even the emperor turns a blind eye to such a thing, how can the harem be clean?
"Check it out, just like before." Just go through the motions and give the emperor a result.
The lights in Baohua Hall are brilliantly lit, reflecting the soft light of the colorful glazed tiles, which look particularly quiet.
Zhao Yawei didn't sleep well last night, and she was restless all day today, and she didn't even notice Ruying came in.
"Empress, empress, it's time to have a meal."
Ruying called her softly, and Zhao Yawei shook her mind. When she saw that it was Ruying, she felt relieved: "Have you dealt with it completely?"
"Don't worry, Empress, it's the same as before. It's just a mistake and can't be found."
"Hmph, if I have any turbulence, the bitch who started the kid will all come out of the hole, for fear that I will not be able to catch any handle."
"What the Empress is concerned about with them is just a clown who can't get on the table. Even if it is passed on to the Emperor, the Emperor just let the Imperial Guard come over and take a walk. This time, it was just two playful little palace maids who didn't follow the rules and ended up falling into the pool and drowned. The Empress is kind and ordered someone to bury them for a lifetime. Who dares to slander the Empress?"
Zhao Yawei recited "Amitabha" and said, "Oh, I should have dealt with her last night, but I blamed me for not having it for a while. Forget it, this is a trivial matter, but that matter, Ruying, what should I do if you think of this palace?"
Zhao Yawei had never been so panicked. Ruying felt so distressed that she grabbed her hand and comforted her: "Empress, since he has sent someone to send a letter to tell you that he is back, he must be sure that something will happen. Otherwise, how dare he take such a big risk? I think he has been fully prepared for him, so Empress just relaxes her heart."
"How can I rest assured? The emperor has been reluctant to establish Feng'er. Our people in the court have repeatedly put pressure on him. He just doesn't let go, and he doesn't know what he was thinking. Now Lu Zhan has not summoned him back. If the emperor knows about it, everything will be over. Ruying, why did he suddenly come back?"
