Chapter 41 Inquiry
The emperor asked: "Why are you so hesitant?"

He Yang cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I checked the list of palace attendants who were on duty in front of the imperial palace that day from the records office, and found that Miss Jinse was not on duty that day, but for some reason she ended up among the palace residents in the imperial garden. But there is her...".

At that time, Jinse had just been promoted to the third-class palace maid not long ago. How could the people above arrange her to be on duty with the emperor so quickly?
But that day, Jinse happened to appear among the palace guards on duty.

Moreover, it was a coincidence that when the accident happened that day, it was Jinse who stood in front of the emperor and finally got the credit for saving the emperor.

The emperor's face darkened after hearing this. He looked at He Yang for a long time and asked with unclear meaning: "You mean, there is something suspicious about that girl Jinse in this matter?".

When he said this, the emperor's face was quite calm, and it was not possible to tell whether he was angry or not.

He Yang faced the emperor's gaze and nodded: "It is said that there was no Jinse girl among the palace maids holding the lamp that day. She seemed to have been arranged temporarily."

The emperor said nothing.

He Yang waited for a while and didn't say much. He just stood quietly waiting for the emperor's instructions.

Eunuch Yang stood aside and frowned, wondering what he was thinking.

After a while, the emperor finally asked: "Have you ever investigated the reason?"

He Yang cupped his hands and said, "I checked and the chamberlain in charge said that the person he arranged for that day was indeed someone else, but I don't know why it was changed to Miss Jinse in the end."

"After that, I also asked someone to check with the palace maid who was on duty that day. The palace maid said that she had been on duty that day and did not leave on her own, but no one informed her that she was on duty in the Royal Garden."

He Yang had someone check the testimony of both sides carefully, but there was no problem at all.

But now it seems that it is precisely because the problem cannot be found that there is a bigger problem.

The emperor knew that He Yang would not talk nonsense, so after listening to what he said, the emperor was silent for a while.

After a while, the emperor said to Eunuch Yang, "In that case, go and call that girl Jinse over and ask her."

Eunuch Yang looked at He Yang, then at the emperor, and then nodded in agreement.

After Jinse returned to the imperial tea room from the imperial study room, he looked a little distracted.

Cha Qing packed up the tea sets and came back. Seeing her like this, he reached out and pushed her, and asked a little worriedly: "What's wrong with sister Jinse?".

Jinse suddenly came back to her senses after being pushed by her. She even seemed a little frightened, and her reaction was quite big.

He stood up suddenly, almost knocking over the stool he was sitting on.

Everyone else was startled by her big movement, and everyone looked over with curiosity on their faces.

Cha Qing was even more frightened and asked nervously: "What's wrong with you? But did I scare you just now?"

Jinse shook his head and said it was okay.

She was like that just now, how could she still call it okay?
Cha Qing didn't really believe it, but seeing that Jin Se didn't mean to say anything, she couldn't keep asking.

All he could do was pour a cup of hot tea for Jinse and pass it over: "Then drink some hot tea and take it easy first!".

Although Cha Qing usually talks a lot, after living in the palace for a long time, she doesn't know what to say and what not to say.

Jinse was fine just now, but he looked like this after coming back from the imperial study room. Maybe there was something related to the imperial study room.

So seeing that Jin Se didn't mean to say anything, Cha Qing naturally didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Cha Qing would definitely avoid anything happening in the royal study.

The others gradually looked away as they saw that the gossip was gone.Soon Cha Qing was chattering to Jin Se about other things.

Jinse just drank tea and listened to Chaqing's words, but couldn't help but think about what happened in the imperial garden that day.

At this moment, Eunuch Yang walked in.

When the maid who was waiting for tea saw Eunuch Yang coming in, she quickly knelt down and saluted: "Eunuch Yang is here."

Jinse and Chaqing also heard the sound, and quickly looked back and saw that it was indeed Eunuch Yang. They quickly stood up and saluted.

Eunuch Yang waved his hand, ignored everyone, and looked directly at Jinse: "Miss Jinse, the emperor has something to ask you, so just come to our house!".

Everyone else in the imperial tea room was stunned and looked at Jinse secretly curiously.

I don’t know why the emperor suddenly asked Jinse. Could something have happened?

Cha Qing glanced at Jin Se worriedly. Since Eunuch Yang was still waiting there, she didn't dare to ask.

Although Jinse was confused for a moment, he quickly stood up and said to Eunuch Yang, "Yes."

Eunuch Yang took Jin Se out of the imperial tea room. The two walked for a while. Eunuch Yang didn't see Jin Se asking what he meant, so he looked sideways at her.

Jinse lowered her head slightly and walked calmly, as if she was not curious about what the emperor was asking her to do.

Eunuch Yang's expression calmed down, he thought for a while, and then said, "When you enter the imperial study room later, whatever the emperor asks, the girl just needs to answer carefully!".

Hearing what Eunuch Yang said, Jinse was stunned for a moment.

Then he nodded hurriedly and said, "I understand, my slave. Thank you so much, father-in-law for the tip!".

When Eunuch Yang saw that she understood, he hummed and said nothing more.

The two of them entered the royal study one after another. After each bowed, Eunuch Yang stood aside.

The emperor glanced at Jinse who was standing below, and after a moment of silence, he asked: "I called you here because I wanted to ask about what happened in the Imperial Garden that day."

Jinse nodded: "Yes, I know!".

Jinse looked calm, but did not show anything wrong. The emperor glanced at her and felt slightly relieved.

To be honest, the emperor didn't want to find out that Jinse was related to the Imperial Garden incident. After all, this little girl was probably...

It's just that the doubts He Yang mentioned do exist. He should always call someone over to ask.

Sure enough, the emperor asked: "I heard from He Yang that you were not supposed to be on duty in front of the imperial garden that day, but why did you end up in the accompanying team?".

After hearing the emperor's question, Jinse thought about it carefully.

Then he frowned and said: "The slave was cleaning the back room at the time, and then a palace maid suddenly ran over and said that she suddenly felt sick to her stomach. She was afraid that she would be inappropriate in front of the emperor when she was on duty, so she asked the slave to take over, and stuffed her He took a palace lantern from his slave and ran away...".

Then, Jinse remembered that because someone saw her holding a palace lantern in her hand, he thought she was the person on duty that day and pulled her into the team.

At that time, Jinse really didn't think much about this matter. After all, since she was promoted to the third level, she has been pulled to the top level from time to time.

She was almost used to what the palace maid did at that time.

Now that she heard the emperor's question, she suddenly wondered, was there something wrong with this matter at that time?
