Chapter 481 Hope is shattered
Weeding is very simple because the goal is clear, but it is not so easy to cut the weeds.

The roots underneath extend in all directions, intertwined, entangled, and quietly extending in places where the sun is not visible, mixed in the entanglement of the root joints of soil, sand and stones, and once the time is right, they will pop up suddenly, making people hard to guard against.

Therefore, today, inside and outside the court, inside and outside the capital, especially in the six palaces, it is only loose on the outside and tight on the inside.Zhou Hansheng and the emperor's cronies and confidants did not really relax their vigilance for a moment, but deliberately slipped a little bit slowly, trying to lure the snake out of the hole, so as to catch them all in one go.

How long it will take for this process to come to an end, no one knows.

But the recent actions of the second and third wards in the Duke's Mansion gave Zhou Hansheng a keen intuition that something might happen.
Palace.

Concubine Mi Gui was in dire straits, waiting for the investigation by Zhou Hansheng, the Ministry of Justice, and Dali Temple.

Although deep down in her heart she had actually believed Yan's words, but after all, they were relatives of her natal family. Now that the official results have not come out, even if there is still a ten-thousandth hope, she is not willing to give up.

More importantly, Mi's family is her natal family after all. If her nephew really died, and it was in Beiyuan, Zhou Hansheng alone might not be able to cover it up. The emperor must also know about it.

Otherwise, wouldn't Zhou Hansheng be afraid of cheating?

If this is the case, the emperor chose to cover up Zhou Hansheng, then, what is the Mi family in the emperor's heart?What is he in the heart of the emperor?This is what Concubine Mi Gui refuses to believe and face no matter what.

Doesn't this mean that she is really useless as a noble concubine?
Concubine Mi Gui waited day after day, tormented, and asked the palace people several times almost every day, ordering them to remember to inquire at all times, and to report immediately if there was any news.He also sent someone to the First Prince every day, and told the First Prince to pay attention to this matter, and to tell her as soon as there was any news.
The eldest prince was miserable, and he also knew that human life was at stake, so it was understandable for her to care so much. Instead, she patiently went to her bedroom every day, told her the news personally, and comforted her by the way.

However, Concubine Mi Gui was not comforted.Sometimes he would even look at him with a look that the eldest prince could not understand, which made him feel a little chilly.

The eldest prince can only think that she is concerned and will be confused, so he is restless and his mental state is not very good, so bear with it.

Where did he know?In Concubine Mi Gui's heart, she already regarded him as being with Zhou Hansheng and the emperor.Concubine Mi Gui believed that they had joined forces to plot against themselves, deceive themselves, and bully the Mi family.
Not to mention Zhou Hansheng, the emperor's behavior can be called ruthless, but the eldest prince is also turning his elbows outward like this, and Concubine Mi Gui is really very sad!
Also very angry and furious!
In a blink of an eye, five days have passed.

Still no news.

The young master of the Mi family seemed to have disappeared from the world just like that. Not only could he not be found, he didn't even have any clues.

The Mi family cried and shouted, and ran into the yamen every day to make a fuss, which caused the officials in charge of the matter to have a headache, and had to be patient to appease and deal with it.

At the beginning, I can say a few words of comfort and encouragement, so that people can wait patiently, and there will be results.However, as the days passed, everyone knew in their hearts that this person might be hard to find.

An adult, who was related to Beiyuan and disappeared, was sober and had vaguely noticed something, and was even more unwilling to search for it with all his heart.

Who would believe this matter if it was said that there was nothing tricky about it?

If there is no trick, it is impossible for the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Dali Temple, and the assistants of Shuntian Mansion to find out any useful information!

Who can hide it so cleanly, except for the royal family and the emperor, who else in the capital?

As for the reason, no one knows.

I can't guess this kind of thing, let alone guess
It is impossible for the Criminal Department and Dali Temple to revolve around such a person. After so many days, the golden period of finding someone has passed.It is not a matter of a day or two to stretch the front line, and it is impossible to have such a big battle with so many people.

The Ministry of Punishment had no choice but to come forward and confess to the Mi family: this matter will continue to be investigated, but it's hard to say when the results will come.But the Ministry of Justice will still make efforts.
Of course the Mi family was not satisfied with this answer, and made another commotion in the Ministry of Punishment.

Mrs. Mi, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law entered the palace to beg to see Concubine Mi Gui, and they couldn't help but cried bitterly to her again, begging Concubine Mi to let the emperor order a thorough investigation, and he must be found back.

The Mi family even had to prepare for the worst outcome.

However, there must be a result!
Who can stand hanging people up and down like this!

Concubine Mi felt desperate.

Looking at her mother and niece and daughter-in-law who were crying like tears, she felt even more desperate.

She couldn't bear to tell them the truth.

She suddenly came to her senses and realized her position in the eyes of the emperor and her own son. Concubine Mi Gui, who was always impulsive and easy to act like a villain, learned to forbear.

She knew there were things to say, and some things she couldn't say anyway.

She knew that her nephew was gone, but she had no evidence, but she "shouldn't" know about it, so she couldn't know.

She has to pretend to be like her mother's family.

Concubine Mi Gui shed a few tears, choked up sobs and comforted her mother and niece and daughter-in-law, fearing that she would be overwhelmed by the stimulation and say something she should not say, so she sent them out of the palace soon.

Afterwards, Concubine Mi Gui went to the Qianqing Palace crying and begging the emperor for mercy, her face was full of tears and her eyes were red and swollen like peaches.

In her heart, after all, there was still a ten-thousandth sliver of hope.

Perhaps, even she herself didn't know what she was still insisting on.

Seeing this, the emperor couldn't bear it.But the matter has come to this point, concealing the truth is the best way to deal with it at present.

It is still not suitable for extra branches at the moment.

You can hide it until as long as you can.When the second and third wards of Li Guogong's mansion are dealt with, it will be made public at that time.

The emperor couldn't bear it, and his tone became much gentler, he comforted Concubine Mi Gui, and rewarded the Mi family, and said that he would order the people from the Ministry of Punishment to continue the investigation, no matter how long it took, he would give the Mi family an explanation.
When Concubine Mi heard this, her heart sank a little.

After listening to it with tears and choked up, she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

After all, the emperor chose to continue to deceive her, the Mi family, and favor Zhou Hansheng!
That's right, it's her who has changed her face, it seems so ridiculous to come here!How can the members of the Mi family compare with the dignified prince of the Duke of Li's mansion?
