Reborn Totalitarian Queen

Chapter 706 Yin Shao's Revenge, Concubine Xin's Death! (2)
Even if the palace of the emperor's concubines is to catch assassins, the Imperial Forest Army can't just break into it without the emperor's imperial decree, not to mention it's still in the middle of the night.

The emperor was in a bad mood, and his face became even more ugly, "Who the hell is that? A master of lightness kung fu? What is his purpose of sneaking into the palace? And what is his intention?"

"This subordinate has already asked. Just half an hour ago, one of the Jade Guanyin statues enshrined in the Empress Dowager's small Buddhist hall disappeared." Chang Guang said: "The man did not fight the guards after he was discovered. , I don’t know how the skill is, but the lightness skill is absolutely top-notch, according to the slave’s deduction—it’s probably a burglar.”

Are the snitches and thieves coming to the palace?
Such things are rare in the world.

The emperor snorted coldly, looking rather impatient, but did not express his opinion for a while.

"Your Majesty, there are four palaces in the southeast of the Imperial Garden, one is the empty Liuyun Palace, the Renhe Palace and the Changyuan Palace are located outside the two, and there is the imperial concubine's bedroom." Gao Jinli reminded from the side.

"Then go and investigate." The emperor said, pinching the center of his brows with an increasingly impatient expression, "Tell me the results, and then ask someone to explain to the queen mother, let her rest first, because she was disturbed."

Since the Empress Dowager's Chonghua Palace was involved, this matter had to be done even if it wasn't done.

What's more, with such a dangerous person lurking in the palace, the emperor himself was not at ease.

"Yes! The slave is leading the order!" Chang Guang got his oral order, so he turned around and retreated without further delay.

At this time, the emperor was sleepless, so he simply put on his clothes and got up to read the scriptures behind the desk in the outer hall.

Gao Jinli didn't try to persuade him any more, and just followed suit.

The emperor's bedroom is located in the middle of the imperial garden, which occupies a very large area. If the imperial army were to concentrate on the southeast corner to search, he would not hear any obvious movement.

Here he roughly flipped through two copybooks, but his mind was so messed up that he couldn't read them any more, so he threw them away casually.

"Your Majesty, it's already the third watch, you should rest, you have to get up early to go to court tomorrow." Gao Jinli picked up the booklet and put it away.

The emperor got up and was about to go to the inner hall, but the guards outside reported that Chang Guang had sent someone to invite him.

"It's just a small thief. I caught it and handed it over to Dali Temple. It's fine if I'm tried for treason and dealt with. Why do I need to report to Yuqian?" Gao Jinli opened the door and went out, reprimanded displeased.

This time Chang Guang didn't come, it was obvious that he had a mind and didn't want to hit the emperor's gun.

The guard of the Royal Forest Army who came over was terrified, but he didn't dare to look up, and only said: "Yes—some things were found from the Changyuan Palace, and the deputy commander didn't dare to deal with it casually, so he sent servants to invite His Majesty to ask for help." cut."

"Found something? What was it?" The emperor's daily life was tightened all of a sudden, but as soon as the wind of the witchcraft case passed, a thought quickly popped into his mind, and he immediately didn't wait for anyone to answer. , it was swept out almost like a gust of wind.

"Your Majesty, it's cold outside, you add some clothes." Gao Jinli chased from behind in panic, quickly hugged a big cloak, and followed with all the guards of honor with a wave of his hand.

The emperor was in fear of the famous sorcery, and he walked straight to the imperial garden with vigorous steps.

The Changyuan Palace was where Concubine Xin lived with another nobleman, but at this time, including Concubine Yuan Gui, the two concubines who lived in the two neighboring palaces also came here.

Concubine Yuan Gui stood in the main hall with an unkind expression and did not take her seat. Concubine Xin was woken up in the middle of her sleep and had no time to make up. , The concubine was wronged, it really has nothing to do with me, it was deliberately framed, you must trust the concubine."

The emperor walked in quickly with a dark face.

"Your Majesty!" Several concubines hurriedly bowed their knees and saluted.

Concubine Xin flinched suddenly when she heard this, but Concubine Yuan Gui hurriedly turned around, "This concubine has seen the emperor."

"What are you crying about?" The emperor gave Xin Concubine a displeased look, and walked in quickly. He only believed that the matter was related to sorcery, so his eyes were extremely sharp, almost killing people directly.

Concubine Xin hardly dared to catch her breath, but nervously swallowed her saliva.

"Your Majesty—" Concubine Yuan Gui opened her mouth, but it was a bit difficult to speak.

Concubine Xin helped her with things, she couldn't make things worse, but after something like this happened, no one would be able to protect Concubine Xin. At this moment, she was really in a dilemma.

"Chang Guang!" The emperor didn't have the patience to wait for her to weigh the pros and cons. He sat down on a chair and rushed outside and said, "Aren't you looking for assassins? Where are you? Have you got it?"

"It's the slave's dereliction of duty. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Chang Guang walked in, knelt down and pleaded guilty, and then looked at Concubine Xin from the corner of his eye with his face flushed with embarrassment, and then he said bravely: "The slave is searching When I was an assassin, I accidentally found something from Empress Xin, and I have given it to Empress Guifei."

The emperor looked away.

Concubine Yuan Gui had no choice but to wave her hands.

Jixiang beside her held two things and handed them to the emperor.

It was a purse with a somewhat old color, and a folded letter was added to it.

Concubine Xin's face was pale, and she quickly shouted for grievances, "Your Majesty, my concubine has been wronged——"

The emperor ignored her, and Gao Jinli was curious, so he took the letter and opened it. The emperor glanced over suspiciously, and at that moment, his face turned red as a pig's liver, and his eyes were as bright as copper. like a bell.

He looked like he was furious to the extreme.

Seeing this, Concubine Xin knew that she had to fight hard, so she hurried over and pulled his robe with tears streaming down her cheeks, "Your Majesty, this concubine was wronged, it's not true, someone framed this concubine, someone deliberately hid it Come to the palace of the concubine and frame the concubine."

The emperor's chest rose and fell, but at this moment, it was obvious that even Gao Jinli didn't dare to persuade him a word, he just lowered his head and pretended to be deaf and dumb.

The emperor took this breath away from his chest, kicked Concubine Xin far away as soon as he lifted his foot, and knocked the master behind her to the side.

The emperor stood up and paced back and forth twice in the hall almost like a thunderbolt. Finally, he raised his head ferociously, pointed at Chang Guang and said, "Has anyone seen it?"

As soon as the words fell, Chang Guang's scalp was numb, and the guard who accidentally discovered these two things had already knelt down in fear and begged for forgiveness loudly, "The emperor has mercy, slave———"

He wanted to say that he was illiterate, but this reason was obviously unavoidable. After all, if he was illiterate, he just accidentally knocked over Xin Concubine's jewelry box and found a sachet hidden in a hidden compartment. It was necessary to show it to Chang Guang.
