Chapter 503 Discovery

It was very nonsense to discuss the crime, because it was the emperor's will, and he, the Night King, carried it out. Even if the execution attitude was too bad, he would not be convicted.

The King of the Night knows this, and the Concubine Gui knows this, and everyone is just trying to get angry at me and me at you.

When searching the palace just now, the imperial guards were very careful. This Ci'an Palace is the highlight of the Night King, so he ordered that every corner must be looked at clearly, and there must be no mistakes.

From the main hall to the side hall, to the bedroom; from the cloister to the pavilion to the garden, the imperial guards were as rigorous as an autopsy, searching all the places where people could hide dead bodies and severed limbs.

Not found yet.

The Night King stood beside the ancient well, thoughtful.

The imperial concubine searched all the way, Ah Fu was also let go, and the Night King slapped him twice casually, and he was punished for the crime of obstruction.

"Do you still want to go down to the well? Come down!" Seeing him standing by the well, the noble concubine said coldly.

Ye Wang looked back at her, "Great Concubine, I am puzzled by something, and I hope that Concubine Gui will help you."

"Is there still something that the Night King doesn't understand?" The Concubine Gui twitched her face and gave a cold smile, "Let's talk about it."

The Night King approached her and looked at her condescendingly, "This king was ordered to search the palace to track down the whereabouts of the assassin, and the ladies in all the palaces are very cooperative, lest the assassin hide in their own palace and attack him. The attitude is completely opposite. The assassin first stabbed the Concubine Gui, and then hid in the palace. It stands to reason that the most cooperative person should be the Concubine Gui, but why does the Concubine Gui do everything possible to stop her? Woolen cloth?"

The noble concubine was stunned, and then she laughed slyly, "The crime of King Ye is really a crime that caught the Ai family by surprise. Did the Ai family stop the prince from searching for the assassin? The Ai family just didn't allow you to disturb the empress dowager's mourning hall. If you are disloyal or filial, This is a felony, and the Ai family is also thinking of the prince, it is a pity that the prince has managed to get the emperor's attention, and if he enters the palace to do errands, if he misbehaves, he will lose his filial piety and be punished by the emperor."

"That's it? But from what the King has seen, the Dowager Concubine doesn't seem to be worried at all about the assassins still in the palace. The King's investigation has been announced long ago, and the assassins haven't been taken down yet. The Dowager Dowager is not worried at all about her safety being threatened Threat?"

Ye Wang suddenly said this, but it made the noble concubine vigilant. She looked outside the corridor and saw Lu Gonggong standing on the stone steps of the porch. She didn't know when he came, and obviously heard what Ye Wang said.

The Concubine Gui was slightly startled, what's going on? It's just a palace search, why did the emperor send someone here?

Moreover, just now she got the news that the King of the Night took people to search the palace, but no one around the emperor followed him.

Could it be that the emperor became suspicious of her? Logically speaking, no, the emperor should be suspicious of Xia Zian at this time, Xia Zian has also been banned, handed over all power, and can only serve in Xiwei Palace.

Moreover, during this period of time, the emperor appointed people from Xiwei Palace, most of whom were Eunuch Bao, but this time it was Eunuch Lu, could it be that...

The noble concubine was terrified after thinking carefully, it seems that the night king must not let the night king find the body today, otherwise, she doesn't know what will be waiting for her.

She had an ominous premonition in her heart. The night king's large-scale operation this time was not just as simple as finding the assassin.

"Grand Concubine!" Ye Wang saw that she was suddenly uneasy and did not answer him, so he asked again, "Now that Eunuch Lu is here, it can be seen that the emperor attaches great importance to this matter, are you sure you want me to search Ci'an?" palace?"

The noble concubine couldn't say she disagreed now, she stretched out her hand to smooth her hair, and said calmly: "The night king's search for assassins is for the safety of the mourning family, how could the mourning family disagree?"

The Night King smiled, turned around and ordered people to go down the well.

Because the ancient well is abandoned, there is no water pumping device, and it can only be temporarily tied down with a rope.

The two imperial guards went down one after another, and came up after a while, "My lord, I didn't find anything at the bottom of the well."

King Ye was a little surprised this time. He searched the Ci'an Palace before and after. It stands to reason that the best place to hide the corpse is the well. Just now he found that the abandoned well had been moved, so he concluded that the well was A place to dump dead bodies.

However, did not find it?

The Night King looked at the Concubine Gui, and saw her sideways face slightly, the corners of her lips curled up, as if there was a slight arc of ridicule and contempt.

Seeing Ye Wang looking at her, the noble concubine said coldly: "Ye Wang might as well go down the well and see clearly. If you don't investigate carefully, I'm afraid the assassin will escape."

Ye Wang looked at the whole body of the imperial guards who went down to the well, and he waved his hands, "I don't want to go down, it's winter, I'm going down to look for the dead body, are you sick?"

The two guards who went down the well looked at each other, a little speechless.

The noble concubine sneered, "Then the prince has searched the entire Ci'an Palace, right? If you have searched everything, then let's go. At this time, the Ai family should also offer incense to the empress dowager. I hope Ye Wang will remember, mourning." The family kept their filial piety in the Ci'an Palace, and no one can afford to disturb the mourning hall of the Empress Dowager."

After finishing speaking, she looked at Eunuch Lu, "Eunuch Lu, do you think so?"

Eunuch Lu smiled and said: "That's natural, no matter what you do, you must not disturb the empress dowager's mourning hall."

The Night King secretly wondered, the entire palace was searched, how could the bodies of the two assassins not be found? Could it be that their speculation was wrong? Or, did Sun Fang'er lie? Only five assassins died instead of seven?

"How is it? If the prince thinks there is something suspicious, then search again." The noble concubine snorted.

The Night King raised his head, "Good idea!" He didn't believe that the assassin wasn't here, now that Eunuch Lu was here, it was unreasonable for him to ask for a new search, but the Concubine Gui suggested it herself, so he had to climb up the pole.

The Concubine Gui had originally said that, but she didn't expect that he would really search again, and she didn't follow the routine at all, so she was so angry that she said, "Okay, you search, just search, you can't find it just now, if you don't believe me, you can search again." What can be found at one time."

The Night King scattered his people and searched Ci'an Palace again.

The noble concubine retreated to Eunuch Lu's side, and said sadly, "The empress dowager has only been away for a few days? First, there were assassins, and then there were repeated searches of the palace. Her spirit in the sky cannot rest in peace."

This time, Eunuch Lu felt that King Ye was really messing around a bit. The emperor ordered to search the palace, but he seemed to search the other palaces casually, but for Ci'an Palace, one search was not enough, and he had to search again.

Even if the assassin is really still in this palace, it is impossible to hide in Ci'an Palace anymore, right? The regent is so wise, why did he recommend the Night King, an idle prince, to the emperor before he left?

He probably just knows how to mess around outside.

The second time he searched the palace, the Night King found something.

It's not that the assassin was discovered, but that the attitude of the imperial concubine was abnormal.

He found that when he went to other places to search, the noble concubine mostly didn't follow her, and even if she followed, she just watched from afar, but when she returned to the garden, she followed suit and started to make things difficult.

He felt that the mystery was in the garden.

But Gujing has searched, no, there are flowers and plants planted in other places in the garden, and the pile of flower pots in the corner has been there before, and it seems that they have never been moved...

No, the flower pot has been moved, and there are traces of yellow mud on the left wall.
