"Your Majesty!" Meng Guiyu looked gloomy, his eyes were not red, and he clasped his fists in front of him and said, "After I learned that the Imperial Concubine and her attendants were missing, I couldn't believe whether the Imperial Concubine had an accident! However, the place where the Imperial Concubine lives is Qiongxue Palace only moved closer and closer, and when there was really no one in sight, it was time to disperse into the distance. At that time, I heard a report from the Navy that a lot of people were floating in Chunbo Lake... and they all thought The palace attire, the leader is even more luxurious and extravagant, I... I have 110,000 hopes, are you mistaken!"
"But when I arrived at the lakeside, I saw with my own eyes that pomegranate red dress... I remember that I saw the imperial concubine wearing it very often in the past two months... "
"Then there must be some cheap maid who stole my sister's robe!!!" Shu Zhaoyi covered her mouth and tried desperately to find a reason, "The palace people who floated up from the lake must be the same as those who stole my sister's robe. We are all in the same group! Otherwise, where can I get my sister’s things?! It must not be my sister! I’ll go and look for her quickly! Sister… sister, she… she must have been hidden by the gangsters!!”
"I told those scoundrels that I would like to let my sister come back properly. I will agree to any conditions... I am... very loyal!"
She turned her head with tears streaming down her face, grabbed Emperor Xuan Jing's arm, and asked with a choked voice, "No, no, no, Lord? Just ask my sister to come back well, will you agree to anything?"
Emperor Xuan Jing looked at her in embarrassment. Although the emperor had been addicted to wine and sex for many years, and since he was over fifty years old, his body was getting better and better. After the palace change that night, he almost never stopped taking drugs to enhance his pleasure, and he became more and more tired. His vitality was so overdrawn that Zhaoyi forcibly drank a sobering decoction at that time. Although he seemed to be walking there in a clear mind, the abnormal blush on his cheeks revealed the weakness of being strong on the outside and weak on the inside.
But after all, he was the master of Yejiao, and he was not expected by Pu Tiandong before he met the Shu sisters.
From Didong's messy corpse, he had already identified it as his charming concubine.
He mistakenly knew Concubine Shu. How could Shu Zhaoyi, who grew up with Concubine Shu, not be familiar with her
Ru Ming's denial is just because Bu Nao can't accept the facts.
"Zhaoyi..." Emperor Xuanjing looked at Shu Zhaoyi's hysterical appearance, hesitated for a long time, and said with heartache, "Then she is indeed a noble concubine. I see that the golden phoenix rows and gold stacked coral beads on her legs and arms are better than the coral beads. In the past two months, I asked people to bring things from the warehouse, and by the way, we sisters each had a pair of leg strings. I asked the imperial concubine to choose first, and the imperial concubine chose the golden phoenix row gold stacked coral bead string, but it was too big after I brought it there. I was worried that it would fall off accidentally, so I called the craftsman on the spot and cut off a section. The remaining piece was just stuck in the leg and wrist. I was joking with the imperial concubine at that time, saying that the imperial concubine had changed the size of the leg string so harshly. If I didn’t turn around, When I get tired of carrying it and want to get something from it, I have to call a craftsman again... The leg string was fine at that time, so obviously... "
"Then the craftsman who modified my sister's leg bracelet must have kidnapped my sister!" Shu Zhaoyi continued, "He snatched my sister's leg bracelet and gave it to his accomplice, and then his accomplice died..."
When she said this, she was so choked that she couldn't speak. She couldn't help but cover her face with her sleeves and burst into tears!
Emperor Xuan Jing hurriedly hugged her and comforted her in a low voice.
After a while, Shu Zhaoyi gathered her emotions, raised her tearful eyes, stared at Dan Chidong's sister who had long since lost her human form, and sobbed: "Give your sister a good life... I... I will go see your sister later." !”
Then he held back his tears and said to Emperor Xuan Jing, "Your Majesty, let's go back. I want to stay quietly for a while!"
Emperor Xuan Jing was looking at her with pity, and he agreed with her words.
After standing up, he remembered and hurriedly told Meng Guiyu: "Thoroughly investigate the cause of the death of the imperial concubine. Who did it? No mercy will be given!"
Meng Guiyu lowered his head and bowed respectfully: "My lord, please obey your instructions!"
After sending Emperor Xuan Jing and Shu Zhaoyi away, he ordered people, "Let's find a side hall to build the mourning hall. Move your legs and feet quickly, so as not to wait for Dong Zhaoyi to come over to see the imperial concubine and find that nothing has been done, which will make her feel even more uncomfortable."
"Commander, what is the state of the imperial concubine now..." Hearing this, someone came over and asked for instructions in a low voice, "I'm afraid the ordinary catalpa coffin can't be packed at all! What should I do if it is an emergency and everything is inconvenient?"
Meng Guiyu said: "There are no woods in Linyuan. It's just a matter of asking the craftsmen who are good at carpentry to make a larger one temporarily."
Zu Dong said: "But the wood of the coffin must be dried and processed repeatedly before construction can begin. It will take a long time before it is completed. Otherwise, it will not last long after being buried!"
"If he can customize the coffin properly, even if it takes more time, he doesn't think it is reasonable. But will Empress Zhaoyi be satisfied with the answer?" Meng Guiyu asked calmly.
Zudong was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and said, "No, thank you very much, Commander-in-Chief for your advice!"
Because Linyuan is located in the royal garden and is close to Chang'an, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the royal family has come to stay here from time to time. In addition, since the Imperial Army is located there, all kinds of supplies are stocked. So at that time, although everything was inconvenient because Chang'an was occupied by the King of Gaomi and they were at odds with each other, most things were not very rich.
At that time, Meng Guiyu gave some instructions, and the Imperial Army and the palace officials found a suitable side hall and quickly arranged the mourning hall.
Because Concubine Shu had been soaked in the lake for too long, she had swelled up and couldn't fit in the ordinary coffin. At that time, while people were rushing to make it, they were able to remove the door panels of the two wing rooms and use a few tables to set them up. Teach the noble concubine who enjoyed all the luxury during her lifetime to stay alive for the time being.
The incense burner was placed behind, and Meng Guiyu took the lead in holding incense in front of him to pay homage. Then he put his legs down and heard a series of greetings from behind, indicating that Shu Zhaoyi had come over.
Meng Guiyu turned around and saw Shu Zhaoyi, who had a red face and had taken off most of her hairpins, crossing the threshold with an expressionless face.
Not long after she returned with Emperor Xuan Jing, she had already changed into a plain dress and skirt. She even applied the impatiens juice on her fingertips with powder, trying her best to cover up her original beauty. color.
At this moment, he glanced at Meng Guiyu by mistake, turned around and saw the incense burner in front of him, and walked towards the incense burner without saying anything.
Meng Guiyu even moved to get out of the way, and then with a wink asked someone to hand over the brocade cushion.
Shu Zhaoyi knelt down and worshiped at Xiangbi, closed his eyes again as if praying silently for a moment, then stood up, glanced around, and then ordered: "Let's all go out. If I have anything to say, I will ask Marquis Chongxin alone!"
After the scene was cleared, Dong's confidant palace maid stood behind her. She looked at Meng Guiyu coldly, "Their sisters persuaded Bi Dong to promote me in an unusual way because I have always been loyal and cautious in my work! It turns out that I had only been in the position of Commander-in-Chief for a few days, and my sister... just... "
Although the reputation of the Shu sisters is not very good outside, they have a real and deep sisterly love for each other. When Shu Zhaoyi said this, she almost couldn't hold back the tears on the spot. She pinched her palms hard before she suppressed them. Controlling his emotions, he continued to question Meng Guiyu, "How did I defend the defense?! No, I feel that I have the power, and the sisters have no use value, so they can die?!"
Shu Zhaoyi didn't know that she had told the truth unintentionally. She actually didn't doubt Meng Guiyu much.
Because although she knew that her sisters had a bad attitude towards Meng Guiyu, she thought that Meng Guiyu was the most powerful and the only backer. From the perspective of interests, Meng Guiyu shouldn't fall out with them, right?
So at that time, the scolding was over, and I was waiting to hear Meng Guiyu's nonchalant explanation, saying that it was because King Gaomi was constantly moving during that period, either sending people to attack or to cause trouble. He was too tired to deal with it that he didn't notice Shu. Whatever happened to the imperial concubine, Jie Donglai will definitely investigate it carefully. She must be fair to the imperial concubine... The slight doubt in Shu Zhaoyi's heart disappeared.
