Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 48
"In this palace, is it true that human life is as cheap as rushes?" After a spring rain, the maid in the Jianjia Palace found a pale corpse floating in the well. Due to being soaked in the water for a long time, the whole human figure was swollen. It's hard to make out what she really looks like.

"Could it be that he was punished by the master and committed suicide because he couldn't bear the humiliation?" The ladies of the palace were discussing for a while, and some couldn't help crying.

"What? Someone died in the big well of our palace? And can't identify the identity?" Axi was extremely disappointed by Huiyue's whispered report. Originally, the future of the entire Jianjia Palace was uncertain as it was involved in disputes between the court and China, but it happened at this juncture. Son, this tragedy happened again.

"Hui Yue, listen to my sister, don't let the little master know, she has a very fragile personality, she will definitely not be able to bear it, let's go to the scene of the accident first!" Axi rolled his eyes, and pulled Hui Yue silently. Then run out.

"Sister Axi, this girl is definitely not from our Jianjia Palace, because there is no shortage of people in our palace, and the young master will not abuse everyone." Seeing Axi coming, the maids gathered around the scene rushed forward one after another. report.

"According to what you say, is this girl someone else who committed suicide with us?" Axi sought everyone's affirmation.

"Strange? What kind of grievance did you suffer? Why did you come to our place to seek death? If he was abused, then the master of this palace is really worse than a pig!" The maids complained angrily in a low voice.

"Sister Axi, should you report to the Punishment Department quickly and ask the eunuch in charge to send a post-mortem examination?" Hui Yue looked into Axi's eyes hesitantly.

"No, let's take a look at the clothes worn by this court lady first." Axi looked carefully at the clothes of the corpse. Judging from the color of the dark clothes, it seemed that they were wearing the clothes of Jian Jia Palace, and there were no scars on the face.

"Hurry up! Enclose the Jianjia Palace. Someone is dead in the Jianjia Palace. The king ordered a strict investigation into the cause of death!" At this moment, a large group of guards wearing armor and holding swords at their waists, led by the eunuch, controlled the death. The scene of Jian Jia Palace.

"Hahaha." The crowd divided, and An Zhen, an official of the Chonghua Palace, surrounded by a group of ladies, walked up to Axi.

"Lord Anzhen, why did someone die in our Jianjia Palace for no reason? Also, how did you guys find out about the accident on our side so quickly?" Axi stared at Anzhen angrily, with flames flying in his eyes.

"Then I have to ask your little master, it's cruel and cruel to abuse the servants!" An Zhen's mouth curled up with a hint of murderous intent.

"Nonsense, it looks like this girl has been dead for a long time, so she is so deformed that she can't tell her face, what the hell are you doing, trying to blame others?" Axi said angrily.

"Concubine Bao, Your Majesty has an order, please come out quickly to receive the order!" An Zhen completely ignored Ah Xi's resistance, and shouted loudly into the palace.

Following the ding-dong sound of the thin curtains, the slightly sickly Bao Si stepped out of the bedroom slowly. "Axi, what's the matter? It's so noisy outside?"

"My lord, there is a murder case in our palace!" Seeing that Ah Xizheng and An Zhen were frozen, Hui Yue quickly turned her head and whispered in Bao Si's ear.

"What? We don't have any murder cases here?" Bao Si suddenly became dizzy like a thunderbolt.

"Concubine Bao, stop being hypocritical. Your majesty was furious when he heard that you tortured the palace servants to death. He ordered me to deliver the decree. From today onwards, everyone in Jianjia Palace will be grounded and not allowed to leave the palace!" An Zhen smiled ferociously.

"Slow! The imperial decree of the king is to let the privy envoy solve the big ink corruption case in the harem within ten days. Jianjia Palace is the key point of this case. No matter who it is, it can't stop me from handling the case!" An Zhen just finished speaking. .Jug Tu, An Tong, and Cheng Rong rushed over angrily with their troops.

"Young Master Qutu, it is the king's decree to confine the entire Jianjia Palace. Do you dare to disobey?" Seeing that Quetu suddenly killed him, An Zhen hurriedly yelled loudly.

"Your Majesty ordered me to solve the case within ten days. If I violate the deadline, my life will be in jeopardy. Lord Anzhen, I've offended you!" Que Tu sneered contemptuously, and An Tong pressed the sword against it with murderous aura. On An Zhen's neck.

"What do you want to do? To rebel or to have no law?" An Zhen resisted desperately.

"Anzhen, you've given up on putting blame on others. To tell you the truth, everything about Jianjia Palace has long been in the eyes of Mr. Jutu and I. You planted spies in Jianjia Palace, but Deliberately found a dead body for a long time to hide the sight of everyone, and then took the opportunity to frame the concubine Bao for abusing the palace people, killing two birds with one stone, it can be said that it is not poisonous!" Cheng Rong laughed loudly, and retorted with his beard.

"You are talking nonsense here. If it is true, what is the evidence?" An Zhen smiled slyly.

"Of course the evidence lies in Hui Yue, who manages the incense powder in Jian Jia Palace." Cheng Rong scanned the crowd calmly.

"Hui Yue?" Axi was taken aback and looked at Hui Yue in amazement.

"Sister Axi, I didn't do anything to offend my lord, so don't doubt me!" Hui Yue frantically denied.

"Hui Yue, I'm not talking about you, but you are in charge of the incense powder and rouge. You are in charge of collecting the incense powder of Jianjia Palace every day. Didn't you notice that something changed in a certain day?" Cheng Rong He smiled mysteriously.

"Changes? All I know is that more than half of the tribute incense powder from the outer court will be handed over to me by the master of ceremonies and eunuchs according to the king's will. Due to the large amount, I will ask a few court ladies to help me share the acceptance." Hui Yue's heart Bang bang.

"That's the problem, Hui Yue, did you find that one day, there will be fewer people around you?" Cheng Rong continued to ask.

"Yes, one day, Lian'er, my little girl, said that one person was sick, and there was one less person who checked the powder." Hui Yue said suddenly.

"Well, it's back to normal later, isn't it?" Cheng Rong continued to ask. "Yes, my lord!" Hui Yue replied brightly.

"The trouble is here. The spies from the Chonghua Palace took advantage of this time to infiltrate the Jianjia Palace. They deliberately poisoned a court lady with poison, and while the little girl Lianer didn't check, they sent a spies in. From now on There was one more person in the Jianjia Palace. In the past few days, the spy slipped away quietly. In order to make up for this vacancy, they put a long-dead corpse on the clothes of a maid from the Jianjia Palace and sank it into the well of the Jianjia Palace. After all, in this way, Master An Zhen, you can once again accuse the concubine Bao of abusing the maids!" Cheng Rong stared at the anxious An Zhen with burning eyes.
