Yuchi Gong walked out of Tingli Courtyard with a piece of paper and went to Cangchen Hall to deal with political affairs.

When I walked to Cangchen Hall, I saw Hu Feifei waiting outside the hall.

He kept glancing at people, and Hu Feifei hurriedly followed up and reported: "Long live the Lord, the maid in Huafang Palace who had rubella was indeed the one who got sick the day before Wu Zhaoyi was attacked. I never found anything strange about her."

"One of the maids in Concubine Zhao's palace did something wrong. On the day of Wu Zhaoyi's accident, she went to Taiye Lake alone. She said that she went to enjoy the scenery on behalf of her master, but no one saw what she did. "

This reason seemed completely untenable to Hu Feifei, but after interrogation over and over again, even Zhao Fei asked, and the answer was still the same.

The slave didn't go on any errands, but said he was enjoying the scenery for his master, and he couldn't even find a good excuse.

If Concubine Zhao really wanted to enjoy the scenery, why didn't she go alone and ask a slave to do it for her?

So Hu Feifei had some suspicions that Concubine Zhao was involved.

Yuchi Gong stepped into the palace after listening to the report. Hearing the words, he said, "Did anyone watch the maid in Huafang Palace on the day the incident happened?"

"This..." Hu Feifei thought about it carefully, and the palace maid was moved to a row of remote houses in the direction of the imperial pharmacy.

It is a place where slaves who are sick and capable of extraordinary things are treated. Almost no one goes there except for the medical women who are responsible for it.

He shook his head: "The patients treated there are most afraid of people, and there is never anyone to guard them."

Yuchi Gong nodded slightly and said: "Sometimes things that seem to be the same may not be innocent; sometimes things that seem unreasonable on the surface may not be wrong."

Hu Feifei paused and thought about it based on the questions asked by the emperor before he understood the deeper meaning.

The previous sentence is talking about the palace maid in Huafang Palace. It seems that she was ill and moved out of Huafang Palace for treatment the day before the incident. However, she was not supervised at all, so there was still time to commit the crime.

The last sentence is talking about Concubine Zhao and the maid under her. The reason sounds ridiculous, but it may not be a lie. Maybe Concubine Zhao has the temperament to do such pretentious things.

He bowed his head and handed over his hands: "I understand, I will continue to investigate and monitor the two palaces closely."

"Yeah." Yuchi Gong said calmly.

He walked straight to a bookcase in the palace, pulled out a box, and put a piece of paper he had been holding in his hands into it.

This is a document signed by a thief. It must be kept well and prevented from being taken away and not acknowledged.

After finishing this, Yuchi Gong turned back to look at Hu Feifei: "How about the Yiyuan Hall?"

Hu Feifei had been specifically asked to inspect Yiyuan Hall carefully before. Upon hearing this, he immediately reported:
"Back to Lord Long Live, everything is as usual in the Yiyuan Hall. The Queen Mother Qing had been ill and recuperating. Later, as soon as she recovered, she ran into the Queen Mother in the Imperial Garden. After that, she prayed to Buddha and copied scriptures every day and never left the palace."

Yuchi Gong pondered for a moment and asked, "I remember that many years ago, Concubine Qing had a maid named Hongyu outside the palace. How is this person doing now?"

Hu Feifei was stunned. He didn't expect that the emperor was so familiar with Concubine Qing, even his former maid.

He suddenly remembered that the emperor and Concubine Qing were cousins, and not many people knew about this.

It involved a royal secret related to the Qing concubine, which almost caused a catastrophe that year.

Since then, Concubine Qing has changed her name and entered the palace. She is already dead outside the palace, and she cannot be mentioned in the Chen family.

Because of the Queen Mother's relationship, the emperor had been in contact with Concubine Qing since childhood, so it was not surprising to know about Concubine Qing's maids.

Hu Feifei suddenly realized when he thought of this.
