Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 397 Committing crimes (1)
"Well, just pry it out of this girl's mouth. If she doesn't say anything, then use her as an example." Lu Kai squinted a pair of mouse eyes, showing a fierce look.

"Yes!" The gloating jailer suddenly regained his spirits and showed a ferocious smile at the helpless Hong'er.

"Papa papa!" Heart-piercing wails and screams echoed throughout the dark and gloomy Punishment Department.

In the Hall of Shuilong Shuren, Ming Gong finished reviewing the memorial, pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, while sighing repeatedly.Xiao Ruzi, the former imperial eunuch next to Ming Gong, asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, are you going to stay in Shuilong Shuren Palace tonight?"

"No, I'm going to Hengwuyuan today, I don't want to stay here, lest I be controlled by the harem, even if I handle the government affairs in the future, I don't want to come." Ming Gong snorted angrily, and ordered the eunuch to drive to Hengwuyuan.

"Your Majesty, please report to your Majesty that the case of leaking secrets in the harem has been found out. Lady Xue Gui's maid Hong'er was stubborn and stubborn, and refused to confess when she was dying. In the process, they were all recruited. It was Mrs. Xuegui who ordered Hong'er, his subordinate, to spy on the news and report the news to Axi from Jianjia Palace. Your Majesty, your ministers instructed me, should we just arrest Miss Axi from Jianjia Palace and bring her to the Punishment Department? Punishment?" As soon as Ming Gong came out of the palace gate of Shuilong Shuren Palace, the ecstatic cabinet minister Lu Kai hurriedly knelt at Ming Gong's feet to report.

"Axi? She is the closest person to the Empress. Lu Kai, you only need to collect confessions. As for the Jianjia Palace, just temporarily control it." Ming Gong thought over and over again, and then ordered slowly.

"Your Majesty, looking at His Majesty's complexion, he seems very unwell, please take good care of the dragon's body, Your Majesty!" Lu Kai secretly peeped at Ming Gong's frowning brows, and could not help but comfort him.

"The widow has been guarding the pole for more than 20 years. I haven't gone through any big storms, but now I find that the person who betrayed the widow is actually the person next to my pillow? The person I trust the most!" Love, heartbroken.

"Small as a child, go to Hengwuyuan!" Ming Gong looked at Lu Kai who bowed his head and said nothing, feeling sad, waved his sleeves, and got on the dragon chariot prepared by the eunuchs.

At the same time when the Hengwu Garden was full of joy and charming voices, the deserted Jianjia Palace was accompanied by a cold moon in the sky, the shadows of bamboos were heavy, and the courtyard was secluded.

"My lord, I heard that Hong'er, who was next to Mrs. Xuegui from the Water Dragon Scholar's Palace, was beaten to death by the Punishment Department. The palace servants from the Shuilong Scholar's Palace all confessed after being frightened. It seems that the king has already told us Suspicions have arisen in Jianjia Palace." The curtain has been lowered, and Ah Xi, who was in a panic, saw that Baosi didn't think about tea and food, and leaned against the window lattice, just lost in thought, and hurried forward and said softly.

"Around Xue'er, only Hong'er got along best with her. Now that she died young, I really don't know how sad Xue'er is. In this palace, killing a girl is really worse than an animal." Bao Si burst into tears.

"Little master, now is not the time to be sad. Last time Wu Susu and the others accused the young master of having an affair with Young Master Diedu, there was room for maneuver to find out the truth, but now that Young Master Die Tu has run away, they can't explain anything clearly." My lord, Wu Susu and Concubine Jiang are extremely vicious, this time they are clearly trying to punish us to death, now that they have forged evidence, they spread rumors and slander even more unscrupulously. It depends on whether the king trusts the young master, young master, if necessary, will the young master consider writing a letter to defend the king?" A Xi suggested with her brows furrowed.

"No, it's useless to just argue blindly. As long as Dug Tu can escape to Hulao Pass smoothly, there is still hope. Axi, please inform Lord Baoshang to restrain the king's pursuers as much as possible." Bao Si thought carefully. road.
