The palace servant from the Shang bedroom office opened his mouth first: "Reporting to the empress, it is because the servant who lived in the same room with the slave suddenly suffered from unbearable abdominal pain. The Tai Hospital asked the medicine boy from the Tai Hospital to help grab some medicine."
"It's just that the slave's sense of direction is not very good, and he seldom walks in the palace on weekdays. It's okay during the day, but it's too dark at night, and he got lost for a while. Seeing that the terrain of the Vermillion Bird Pavilion is relatively high, he wanted to climb up the Vermilion Bird Pavilion. The pavilion should be able to debate the direction, so I climbed up, but before I could clearly identify where the Supreme Hospital is, the servant was arrested and brought here."
The palace servant kowtowed to Yunshang again: "I heard that the empress is kind-hearted, so please ask the empress to send someone to the imperial hospital to get some medicine for abdominal pain. The servant sees that the palace servant who is in the same room as the slave has a really bad stomachache." It's a bit severe, almost delirious with pain, worried about what's going to happen..."
Yun Chang laughed, the reason is interesting.
It's too dark at night to get lost, so climb to a high place to look for directions
It's like, at night, you can't see clearly at night, but you can see everything when you climb to a high place.
Yun Chang thought in her heart, but her face remained calm: "Really? You are kind-hearted, don't worry, I will invite the imperial doctor to go to the bedchamber to have a look."
The palace servant seemed a little surprised, and hurriedly thanked Yun Shang: "Thank you, empress, thank you, empress."
Yun Shang chuckled, took a meaningful look at the palace maid, and then turned her gaze to another palace maid: "What about you? Why did you climb up to the Mingyue Tower in the middle of the night?"
The palace man bit his lips, his expression seemed a little embarrassed, but when he heard Yun Shang's question, he didn't make a sound for a long time.
Yun Chang raised her eyebrows: "What? Can't answer?"
The palace servant hurriedly shook his head, and said with some hesitation: "The slave is the palace cleaner in the library. On weekdays, when there is no one in the library, you can secretly take a look at the books in the library. The slave saw it yesterday during the day. A book, some of the stories in the book are very interesting, the slave likes it very much, I secretly saw the curfew in the library, and I haven't finished reading it yet... "
"At that time, I was seeing the exciting part, and I really wanted to know what was going on, so I quietly took the book out, and wanted to find a bright place to read the rest of it. I was also afraid of being discovered, and saw that there were no guards and no one else in Mingyue Tower, but several lanterns were lit upstairs, so I sneaked up."
The man in the palace paused for a moment before continuing: "Actually, this servant has done such a thing before, and was discovered and reprimanded by the steward of the library. If nothing major happened, I didn't pay attention to the servants anymore."
"Oh?" Yun Shang wondered in his heart, "What book makes you love it so much?"
The palace man lowered his eyes and took out a book from his sleeve.
Qian Liu took the book and presented it to Yun Shang.
Yun Chang took a look, and saw the words "Gods and Ghosts" written on the cover of the book.
"What is this book about?"
The palace man lowered his eyes and responded: "It's just some ghost stories. I was reading the ninth story before the curfew. It was about an old man who stayed in a temple in the mountains at night. At night, he heard the whistling of the wind, like ghosts crying." As if shouting, he heard the door of the mountain being slammed loudly. He thought it was because the monk hadn't closed the door properly. Unexpectedly, the sound of the wind was getting closer and closer, gradually approaching the wing he lived in, and then his wing was also blown away by the wind. Come on."
"Before he came back to his senses, he heard that voice seemed to be approaching the dormitory where he lived, and he heard footsteps, which seemed human but not human, seemed to have entered the wing room, coming towards him step by step …”
"When the servant saw this, it was time for the curfew, and the guards in the library turned off the lights."
Yun Chang laughed: "It's really fascinating, and it's hard to stop."
Then the smile on his face was restrained: "It's just that no matter what the reason is, wandering around in the palace after the curfew is breaking the rules in the palace. There are no rules. According to the rules of the palace, I will punish you ten times." board, as an example to others. Do you two have any objections?"
The faces of those two people became ugly, and after a long while, they gritted their teeth and said: "No... no."
Yun Shang nodded: "Pull it down, deal with it according to the palace rules."
The guard responded, and Yun Chang watched the person being taken down before raising her feet to the main hall.
Qianliu followed behind Yunshang, but her face was somewhat puzzled: "Your Majesty clearly suspects that these two palace servants are spying on the situation of our Weiyang Palace, and it may be related to the person who poisoned behind the scenes. Let them go so easily?"
Yun Shang paused, and looked at the lantern under the eaves indifferently: "Do you think the reasons these two palace officials said are credible?"
"It sounds ridiculous." Qian Liu hardly hesitated.
Yun Shang laughed and nodded: "As you said, the words of these two people sound ridiculous. One said that he was lost, so he climbed up to find the direction. The other said that he was addicted to reading, Go and read a book."
"However, even if it is such a reason that sounds absurd, if I go to investigate, I still can't find anything. The roommate in the dormitory bureau must have suffered from abdominal pain, and he did ask the dormitory bureau The steward has reported it, and it is true that he went to the imperial hospital to get the medicine."
"The steward of the library will definitely tell you that the palace man who was arrested tonight is indeed a book lover, and he was found out several times by just reading and was even reprimanded."
"It's difficult to continue the investigation after the matter has been investigated. What should I investigate? Who does he contact with on weekdays? The real master behind the scenes will certainly not easily contact them on weekdays. And, On weekdays, the two of them are just ordinary palace people, and I am afraid that very few people will notice what they do on weekdays, who they have contacted with, and whether there is anything unusual."
Hearing what Yun Shang said, Qian Liu also fell silent, and frowned after a while: "Why don't we send someone to watch them after we put them back? Or, torture them to extract a confession?"
"That's even more unnecessary." Yun Shang chuckled: "I discovered them today, and after that, I'm afraid these two people will also be reduced to abandoned children."
"As for extorting a confession by torture, you can try it. It's just that I think the two of them probably don't know anything at all, and I'm afraid that none of the people who contacted me have ever met."
"Then empress..." Qian Liu frowned slightly.
Yun Shang naturally knew what she wanted to ask, so she only bent her eyebrows and said, "Catch them, and I will interrogate them myself, just to tell the people behind the scenes that I attach great importance to this matter because, in Weiyang Palace, tonight There are indeed secrets, and there are secrets that I want to carefully hide from others. That's all... "
