Emperor Jin

Chapter 173 The Dead

Seeing her bursting into tears, the emperor was at a loss for a moment, and he didn't care about the small crystal pieces, and put them on the table together, "What's the matter, did anyone make things difficult for you?"

Bao Jinqiang smiled and shook his head, "No one made things difficult for me, I was just a little happy, and when I was excited, tears came down..."

The emperor handed over the silk handkerchief, "These little things are not rare, but they are small and practical, so I brought some here, but I never made you cry."

Bao Jin stared at the small piece of crystal, "I remembered that when we were trekking in the wilderness, you collected the dew with a bamboo tube for me... At that time, you were still hot, and you only cared about me..."

There is still water in her eyes, but she smiles brightly, looking so beautiful and infinitely beautiful.

The emperor stroked her hair lightly, "I'm always a man, how can I watch the one I love suffer, besides, Chen Jin's madness is all for me, it's already right for you to suffer this innocent disaster, isn't it?" Stop you."

Hearing his sincerity, Bao Jin suddenly felt guilty—Chen Jin's incident was entirely caused by himself, and he wanted to see the two parties fight each other...

She shook her head, didn't think about it anymore, and buried her face in the emperor's generous chest, feeling the warmth of the cloth, her heart became more and more uncertain.

*****
Aunt Ren's life and death are still unknown. Bao Jin mobilized all the forces in his hands, but he couldn't find out her whereabouts.A living person disappeared in the palace just like that, it's creepy to think about it.

Bao Jin secretly reported the greatest vigilance to the queen, but when all the bright and dark forces were spying around the Zhaoyang Palace, the queen suddenly burst into a thunderstorm, summoning all the dignitaries in the palace, and sternly reprimanded them.

"What did she say?"

Bao Jin asked in the forest, and a young eunuch replied in a soft voice: "I am not qualified to serve in the palace. It was all when I was playing Pai Gow, and my acquaintance father-in-law said... Your Majesty said that someone was eating inside and outside, and seduced me." When outsiders came to arrest her family members, she was furious, and the steward took down several informers and beat them to death on the spot."

Seeing that there was no one around, he took a step forward and said: "It is said that Aunt Ren, an old man in the palace, was accused of surreptitious whereabouts, and was taken away by the Shen Sijian sent by Long Live, which made the empress murderous."

Was taken by the emperor...? !

Bao Jin felt relieved, and quickly asked, "Is the news true?"

The little eunuch was Chenlou's eyeliner, and he nodded for sure when he heard the words: "The father-in-law heard the queen's story from his own mouth, and I heard that she was full of bad luck and furious."

"If it is really in the hands of the emperor, there is still salvation..."

Bao Jin breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately decided to find out.

She returned to the side hall of the Qianqing Palace, but did not go to see the emperor. Seeing Zhang Xun inspecting the flowers and trees in the courtyard, she stepped forward and said with a smile, "Elder-in-law is really hard..."

Seeing her, Zhang Xun smiled like a flower on his old face, "Girl, you are the one who has worked hard. You have only moved here not long ago. If there is anything you are not used to, just come to the old servant."

Bao Jin thanked: "Thanks to my father-in-law for taking care of me, everything is fine this time around, but Wan Sui and Niang Niang are still like this... I don't feel very comfortable looking at them."

Zhang Xun sighed: "Our empress is good at everything, but her temper is too high, and Long Live is also on fire..."

Bao Jin also sighed a few times, and then said in a low voice: "I heard that someone in Zhaoyang Palace was taken away by Shen Sijian, and the empress is also furious!"

When Zhang Xun heard this, he felt a headache. He glanced at Baojin and saw that there was no one around, so he replied in a low voice: "It's the lady who told the secret in the palace, saying that it was the whereabouts of Aunt Ren next to her." Secretive, once walked in the palace and poisoned the dove, and it was spread vividly——Long live now hates these ghost tricks the most, so he brought her here."

Bao Jin frowned and said: "Then we can't just arrest him quietly... After so long interrogation, no matter it's true or not, we should give the empress an explanation."

Zhang Xun glanced at her with a hint of respect - he had heard that the queen was quite afraid of this girl, but who would have thought that she would still say this fairly and pertinently, which shows that she is indeed a noble character.

He frowned, as if he had a bitter olive in his mouth, "It stands to reason that if there is any evidence, it must be returned to the empress—after all, she is the serious master, but who would have thought that it would only take two months for Aunt Ren to go to prison?" In three days, a strange thing happened."

"In those few days, the guards were greedy for the coolness, and spent the whole night outdoors to enjoy the coolness-but even so, the prison cell was still in chains and shackles, but when I saw it in the morning, the person disappeared... The old woman was drowsy all day , with little strength, how could you escape?"

Bao Jin listened to him talking about all these things, she seemed to have a flash of inspiration, she caught something, but then she didn't care - she was worried about Aunt Ren in her heart: where would she go?

Thinking of Aunt Ren being imprisoned for no reason, she felt guilty again—Aunt Ren sometimes sneaked out in the middle of the night to help her in the palace, and when she fell into the eyes of some people, she probably felt that her whereabouts were strange, and she was considered the Queen's henchman...

While the two were talking, they saw someone running in in a panic. Zhang Xun's expression darkened, and he shouted, "What's wrong, this is inappropriate!"

The little eunuch was obviously his first-class disciple, panting: "Master... something happened on the other side of the lake, go and see for yourself!"

Zhang Xun's complexion changed, and he said he was guilty, and left immediately.

Baojin trotted along with him, and came to the Jinghu Lake in the Imperial Garden, where he saw many people gathered around, looking at something dripping with water.

Zhang Xun went to the front row to drive away the crowd, and what appeared in front of him was a slightly swollen corpse.

It's Aunt Ren!

Baojin felt dizzy for a while, and grabbed hold of the tree trunk beside him to stabilize his mind.

"Be a good person, how can you be like this..."

"I heard that he disappeared from Zhao Prison..."

Whispers from around kept coming to his ears, but Bao Jin felt inexplicably sad—this mother's dowry palace maid since she was a child, and the most kind and kind nanny when she was a child, died so strangely!
She pretended not to care and stepped forward to watch the excitement, only to see that the body was swollen and whitish, obviously it had been several days.

She looked at the corpse carefully, and saw that there were no scars or signs of struggle on the corpse. She was wondering, but she saw the corpse's right hand clenched into a fist, as if something had been preserved.

She winked at the little eunuch who was making eyeliner, and saw that the latter pulled Zhang Xun's apprentice, pointed to the other side of the lake and said, "What is that?"

Everyone thought there was something wrong and turned their heads to look at it. Bao Jin took advantage of this moment to pull out the object in his fist.

It's half a piece of clothing!
