Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

Chapter 522
On the first day of the new year, when everyone was still asleep, Ye Xun had already started wandering around the palace. He hadn't walked around the palace for a long time.

The guards in the inner palace are all the elite of the West Factory, and the Jinyiwei can only guard the palace gates. As for the Yumajian and other yamen that were originally managed by eunuchs, they were all abolished after Ye Xun took control of the palace.

Among the eunuchs in the palace, apart from Ye Xun, only Mu Zheng is the most powerful, but only among the eunuchs, he is not allowed to do politics, nor has military power. I can't die of suffocation.

The main entrance of Qianqing Palace has not been opened for a long time, and usually the maids and eunuchs can only go through the side entrance.

Ye Xun also entered through the side door. He wanted to see Zhu Youxiao. Although Mu Zheng kept reporting that there was nothing unusual about it, for such a potential bomb, it was best to see for himself.

Especially the disappearance of Zhu Youjian and the mysterious ninja who appeared in the backyard of Ye Xun's house all reminded Ye Xun that someone was watching him secretly.

The son is still too young, otherwise, the kid Zhu Youxiao, who has completed his mission, would have been able to ask his father face to face.

The huge Qianqing Palace was quiet, and a few sporadic eunuchs and court ladies came over to greet Ye Xun after seeing Ye Xun.

Ye Xun beckoned to the eunuch supervisor of Qianqing Palace, then took out 1000 taels of silver notes from his pocket and handed them over.

He said with a smile: "Every father-in-law and sisters have worked hard, this little money is a little bit of my heart, let's share it!"

The emperor is abolished, and now the eunuchs in Qianqing Palace can be said to be the most lucrative, and they can only live on that little salary. It can be said that it has been a long time since I saw such a large denomination bank note.

Excited, the eunuch in charge hurriedly knelt down and said incessantly, "Thank you, Mr. Ye, for the reward!"

"Get up! How is Your Majesty? Has anyone been here recently?"

"If you go back to your father-in-law, your majesty is in good health, and no one has been here. By the way, your majesty once had a lucky maid who served him. To avoid accidents, that maid has been drugged by the slave."

The accident the eunuch was referring to was, of course, because he was afraid that the palace lady would get pregnant, so he gave the abortion pills. Although it was a bit cruel, this kind of situation was very common in the deep palace.

Ye Xun nodded. He left the woman to Zhu Youxiao at the beginning because he thought of this problem. Zhu Youxiao's brain has problems, but it doesn't mean that he can't do it in other aspects.

However, it does not rule out the possibility that the court lady took the initiative to seduce Zhu Youxiao. If that is the case, the court lady will have to check her mind.

The eunuch officer graciously led the way ahead, pushed open the closed doors, and soon arrived outside Zhu Youxiao's dormitory.

The eunuch officer was about to push the door of the bedroom, but was grabbed by Ye Xun, turned his head to look, but saw Ye Xun's face darkened, and his eyes narrowed.

"Eunuch Ye"

Ye Xun shook his head, waved his hand to signal the supervisor not to go in, then turned and walked out.

The eunuch scratched his head suspiciously, then quickly followed Ye Xun out.

"Go and bring the maid who serves the bed."

After listening to Ye Xun's order, the eunuch officer hurriedly agreed, turned around and walked away quickly.

Just outside Zhu Youxiao's dormitory, Ye Xun smelled a faint smell of medicine. The smell of medicine is very special, with an indescribably sweet and greasy smell. It must not be the kind of medicine that Hongxiu prescribed to Zhu Youxiao.

If someone prescribed Zhu Youxiao alone, let alone Mu Zheng, the eunuch supervisor would definitely know about it. Now that no one has reported this to Ye Xun, it can only be said that there is something wrong here too.

In order to protect the safety of the orb, the palace is heavily guarded. Unless you have extremely high skills, you can't sneak in at all.

Although Hongxiu was pregnant, she was born in Jianghu and was very vigilant, so Ye Xun dared to go on tour with peace of mind.

However, compared with the Kunning Palace, the guards on the Qianqing Palace are obviously much worse. Among other things, if a Japanese ninja sneaks in, the guards may not be able to find out.

After a short time, the eunuch supervisor turned out from the apse by himself, and said apologetically in front of Ye Xun, "Elder-in-law, forgive me, Xiao Cui is not in the room, so I will send someone to look for it."

"Take me to the place where she lives, and ask the guards outside the palace, have you ever seen her go out?"

While talking, Dorgon, who got the news, also hurried over. He had no relatives in the capital, so he stayed in the palace on duty on New Year's Eve.

"Master, what happened?"

"You came just in time, ask some brothers to come with me"

The eunuch officer had already ordered his men to ask the guards outside the palace, and he led Ye Xun and his party to the residence of the eunuchs in the back palace.

The place where the maids and eunuchs lived was like a small courtyard, and the maid Xiaocui lived in the innermost one. As soon as she reached the door, Ye Xun stopped in her tracks again.

Turning to Dorgon, he said, "Do you smell anything?"

Dorgon came closer, stretched his neck and sniffed vigorously, and then said: "It seems to be a bit fragrant, no, it's not the fragrance of women, it's a bit like musk."

Ye Xun glanced at Dorgon with a half-smile, the boy is not very old, yet he knows what a woman's fragrance is, and he has a future.

"No! Master, there seems to be a dead person in the room"

Ye Xun was taken aback by Dorgon's exclamation. Ye Xun felt that his nose was very good, but he didn't want Dorgon's nose to be better than him.

"Go in and see"

Following Ye Xun's instructions, several guards who were called in by Dorgon behind him stepped forward to open the door.

As the door was opened, the smell inside was completely exuded. This time even Ye Xun could smell it. It was the smell of corpses, which was covered up with musk. If you didn't smell it carefully, you wouldn't be able to smell it at all.

The eunuch at the side was almost stunned. He went in to see it just now. When he thought of a dead person hiding in the room, but he didn't notice it, he felt his hands and feet were cold and his knees were sore, and he almost sat on the ground. up.

"Eunuch Ye, I"

Ye Xun waved his hand to signal him not to speak, then turned his head and nodded at Dorgon.

After receiving the instructions, Dorgon immediately led people to search the room, and soon found something wrong under the bed. After moving the bed away, he found that the ground under the bed had been turned.

The guards immediately found tools and dug up the soil. Before digging too deep, a corpse that had begun to rot was exposed.

Obviously, someone killed the court lady who served in bed, and then pretended to be a court lady and approached the emperor. As for the extent of the development, further investigation is needed.

"The Qianqing Palace is sealed off, no one is allowed to enter, I will go and see our majesty"

After Ye Xun finished giving orders, he turned his gaze to the eunuch in charge, and said slowly, "When was the last time you saw her?"

"Return, return to Eunuch Ye, the servant saw her last night."

After saying this, the eunuch trembled uncontrollably. The corpse in front of him had been dead for at least half a month. Could it be that what he saw last night was a ghost?
He didn't know, based on Ye Xun's analysis, the maid probably had been dead for more than a month, because it was winter, and the body was embalmed, so it didn't rot so quickly.
