Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

After returning to the inner temple, Chen Duo did not interrogate them immediately, but secretly arranged for his own people to keep a close eye on several people, while he himself returned to his place.

——The imperial concubine is such a deity, how could she really talk to me about trivial matters like sweat odor and changing clothes for no reason?

This should be an order for me to go back and get some orders from Bannu!

Because he moved into the Daming Palace, he became the Nei Si Bo; and because of the rebellion in the former Nei Shi Department, several high-ranking and powerful people were beheaded and their houses were confiscated, and it happened that a few small courtyards became vacant.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs presented one of the quiet and peaceful palaces to Chen Duo as a gift.

After entering the yard, Chen Duo turned around and closed the door.

"Bannu!" Chen Duo stepped into the house and immediately called the little civet cat softly.

No answer.

Chen Duo looked around and saw the civet cat's little head sticking out from the open suitcase. It looked innocent and very cute.

"...My clothes!" Chen Duo covered his eyes with a headache.

The cat's fur was short and soft, and you couldn't see it unless you looked closely. But he went to work wearing clothes covered with cat fur. If someone found fault with him, it would be a misconduct in front of the emperor.

Bannu jumped out from inside and squatted steadily in the corner of the suitcase, looking at Chen Duo but saying nothing.

Seeing this, Chen Duo's heart moved slightly, and he hurried over, only to see a letter buried in the clothes that were torn into a mess, with only a corner sticking out.

This was for disguise, so the letter was "hidden" inside the clothes.

Speechless Chen Duo had to praise Bannu: "Bannu is really smart."

First I took the letter and stuffed it in my arms, then I packed my clothes and closed the lid of the suitcase, even wanting to lock it.

"Meow~~~~!" Bannu rarely spoke and let out a long cry.

Even without understanding cat language, Chen Duo knew that Bannu was swearing.

He stopped awkwardly, thought for a moment, rubbed his nose, and angrily opened the lid again: "I understand, this box belongs to you from now on."

I should buy another box and some clothes.

Bannu then rolled his eyes at him arrogantly, walked away with his head held high, went to his bed, lay at the end of the bed, curled up into a ball, and fell asleep.

Chen Duo checked the doors and windows again before unfolding the letter under the lamp. His heart trembled when he saw the handwriting.

This is the handwriting of the Imperial Concubine.

He saw it with his own eyes last month when he was sorting out the palace books with the imperial concubine.

Therefore, the fact that the Imperial Concubine was of noble status was actually known only to her!!!

Chen Duo felt a surge of excitement in his heart, almost bursting with excitement! But then he suddenly remembered the guard Zhang Zhu who fell to his death from the roof of Yi Qiu East Palace half a year ago...

If I acted inappropriately or angered the imperial concubine, would I also die of a heart attack? !

Chen Duo trembled, and all his excitement turned into cold sweat.

After swallowing his saliva, he decided that the safest way to survive was to honestly do the job for the imperial concubine.

The letter told him clearly: Wu Jin discovered that there was something wrong with the Queen's golden trauma medicine and Concubine Rong's lip balm, and that the medicines tasted similar.

The poison that Wu Jin was poisoned with was probably related to smelling this medicine continuously - the lethal dose for cats is too different from that for humans.

In addition, the second lady of the Mei family is not a fool, and Anxiang is Mei Hanlin's person, so Mei Ruoqin's mind is also a little confused.

Since An Erruer has already informed Wang Zifu and Yuan Shi about the matter, there must be some movement in the outer court.

Therefore, when Chen Duo investigates the case this time, he must settle it before the outsiders take action, so that the emperor will not be embarrassed to touch the inner palace after dealing with the outer court.

Want it quick?

This time, even the Queen and Concubine Rong were involved in the conspiracy...

Chen Duo pondered for a moment and remembered that he had found several small porcelain bottles from the servants of Qinghui Pavilion that could match the small circle, but they were all just pills and incense pills that could clear away heat, reduce fire, refresh the mind and save lives.

He couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.

Sure enough, he was negligent and a little timid, and did not even check the dressing boxes of the two concubines.

Isn't the shape and size of this circle exactly like a small porcelain box for rouge and lip balm?!

He quickly read the letter from beginning to end, wrote down the key points, and then burned the letter carefully before taking a bath and changing his clothes.

At three o'clock in the morning, Chen Duo appeared in the inner temple again.

This time he showed no mercy to Anxiang and started to pinch her fingers.

Anxiang screamed heart-wrenchingly and confessed immediately: she was following the orders of Concubine Rong and used a eunuch who was bribed by the Mei family to serve Hua Shu in the palace to deliver a message to the Mei family.

This is a common occurrence.

Chen Duo asked about the time, place, eunuch's name, and the content of the message, and then asked her: "Why did you kick Wu Jin?"

An Xiang was dying: "The master ordered that the marriage between the Mei family and the Xue family can be delayed, but it must be cancelled in the future.

"The eldest son of the Xue family is not good at studying, and the second son is not good either. A merchant family is not worthy of being the headmistress of the eldest son of the Mei family...

"So after I enter the palace, I must find an opportunity to distance the relationship between Wang and Rong Fei. Otherwise, if they suddenly fall apart in the future, it will make our Rong Fei look cold and indifferent...

"Wu Jin is a cat. I can't kick it. I just use it as an excuse to create some grudges between Rong Fei and Gui Fei..."

Chen Duo frowned, feeling something was wrong, and turned back to look at Han Lue: "You go ahead and ask. She must be lying."

Han Lue had long been dissatisfied with him for stealing his job, so he snorted and told him, "Get out."

"Okay, I'll go see how the second young lady's painting is going." Chen Duo wanted to see Mei Ruojin.

Han Lue hurriedly stopped her and said, "She is painting well. If you go there, she will try to do something cunning again!

"get out!"

Chen Duo retreated awkwardly and went from the cell to the duty room.

Who knew that as soon as he entered the door, he saw Jing Li putting food on the table. When he saw him come out, he asked, "Where is Lao Han?

"I just got back. The Imperial Concubine heard that you were holding court late into the night and said that it was very hard. She gave me a midnight snack and asked me to bring it to you."

Chen Duo chuckled, hurried over to sit down, picked up his chopsticks and started eating: "Old Han is busy, let's eat first."

"I just went to the Purple Palace and reported to His Majesty the process of the interrogation of Qinghui Pavilion.

"Your Majesty said that there are still a few idle people of the Jing generation. I'll ask you to pick a smart one that you find convenient to use tomorrow morning."

As Jing Li saw him holding a whole roast chicken and chewing it, he quickly took a bowl with disgust, took out a large bowl of vegetables for Han Lue, stuffed it and moved it aside, and then he accompanied Chen Duo to drink.

"I think if this is the only thing, then it's too small." Chen Duo told Jing Li after he had eaten and drunk his fill.

"Wu Jin just happened to run into him. If this matter is allowed to ferment, there will be a big commotion here at Rong Fei.

“Besides, it’s far-fetched to pin the blame on Geng Ronghua.

“Geng Ronghua has a very good relationship with Rong Fei, and she is not favored and has no children. It is a joke for her to harm Rong Fei!

"Seriously, the blame should be put on the Queen."

Jing Li seemed to be thinking about something.

"Tomorrow I plan to explain this to His Majesty after the morning court session, and then ask Penglai Palace whether Wu Jin has been to their place these past two days, as he was punished by the Imperial Concubine and has been looking for food all over the palace."

Chen Duo smiled.
