Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

Chapter 338 Catch them all in one swoop

Jing Li went back and conveyed Chen Duo's words to Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng nodded in agreement: "I think that's the truth too!

"Besides, this pot has brought disaster to the Queen. After several years, maybe some clues will emerge and put the blame on me again!

"In this way, all the concubines of your majesty's Eastern Palace in the early years were caught in one fell swoop, and it was just what some people wanted!"

Jing Li felt horrified and couldn't help shrinking his neck: "If the culprit behind this really has the same plan as the queen, then there will be no peace in the palace in the future."

"Yes..." Wang Xifeng looked far away, "If we want to live a peaceful life, we must find this person quickly."

Why did you pull it out?

How can she fix King Qin Guang’s Book of Life and Death if she is caught?

Let them continue to make trouble, as long as they don't hurt the people around them——

"I have to pay them back for Wu Jin's crimes!" Wang Xifeng snorted and waved her hand to order Jing Li to leave. "Keep an eye on Chen Duo's progress."

As soon as Chen Duo left, Wang Xifeng went to see Wu Jin, who was wrapped like a pupa, and asked, "How is he?"

Wu Jin opened one eye: Woo.

"Should I avenge you, or should you do it yourself?" Wang Xifeng was very relaxed.

Wu Jin couldn't help but let out a loud noise, his face full of murderous intent!

"Okay. I'll find the man and you go and kill him yourself." Wang Xifeng smiled, stretched out a finger, rubbed Wu Jin's forehead, and went back to sleep.

The next morning, after hearing Chen Duo's speculation, Emperor Chongzhao immediately approved it and gave him the privilege to check all the suspicious places in Daming Palace:

"Don't think about anyone else's face, just think about your master's safety!"

Chen Duo spent a whole day searching the palaces of other concubines, and surprisingly found that there were more or less some prohibited items in every palace!

Stunned, Chen Duo went to see Emperor Chongzhao that night and showed him everything with a sad face:

“This is the preserves of Concubine De, a poison that slowly weakens people; this is Li Xuanyi’s flower pillow, which contains fragrant flowers that cause infertility;

"This is Sang Ronghua's new dress, embroidered with a poisonous thread that causes blood and qi deficiency; this is Shi Ronghua's necklace, the beads are not made of beeswax but poisonous beads made of corpse oil;

"This is the Dragon Boat Festival gift that the four nobles just received. The spices in the five-poison sachets have been replaced with drugs that can easily cause mental disorder..."

Catch them all! ?

Emperor Chongzhao's expression became extremely interesting!

The emperor and his ministers were silent for a while before Emperor Chongzhao slammed the table and said, "What does Wang Shi do for a living?!"

What does this have to do with the imperial concubine?!

Chen Duo's heart paused, and suddenly he felt a pang in his heart!

Oops!

He forgot to check the Imperial Concubine's Yinyu Palace!

"The palaces of the Queen and the Imperial Concubine have not been checked yet?" Emperor Chongzhao looked grimly.

Chen Duo kowtowed hurriedly: "I am afraid that the Queen will think too much, so I thought it would be better to check all the concubines first, and the Queen will not take it seriously.

"As for the Imperial Concubine, I have too few capable and trustworthy people to take care of her..."

"Didn't I ask you to pick someone? Who did you pick?" Emperor Chongzhao was a little impatient.

Chen Duo hesitated for a long time and lowered his head: "The slave chose Jing Lian."

"You only picked one?" Emperor Chongzhao was disappointed, "I used the Jing generation frugally because I was afraid that there would be no one to use in the future when I needed strength!

"Now that I should be on top, you want to save money for me!?

"Take them all with you! Let them gain some experience under your command, and spread them out to different places in the future. Aren't they your spies and connections?

"You are such a lonely person! You are reluctant to let go of anyone who comes to you!

"Look at Qinghai, and then look at Lao Xia! They have a lot of disciples now. Without me, they would be surrounded by people and walk with great momentum!

"You should learn from them too!"

Chen Duo was still kneeling on the ground, groaning: "My job is different from others...

"It is better for me to just pick Jing Lian."

Emperor Chongzhao was helpless: "That won't work!

"Now that I have just ascended the throne, there are so many people inside and outside the palace peeking at me!

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs has just been in chaos, and I'm afraid that people with ulterior motives will take the opportunity to sneak in. I can't blame anyone else for this, except you.

"If the Jing generation is not suitable, you can go to the inner square of the East Palace or the Ye Ting Bureau to choose. If that doesn't work, you can borrow some smart guards from them!

"In the end, it's all the same investigation!"

Hearing this, Chen Duo's heart moved, and he kowtowed quickly, saying: "If that's the case, I think of someone who is careful and thoughtful, with bright eyes, and is actually a good material for this line of work.

"But even if you are invited, you shouldn't be inferior to a slave."

Emperor Chongzhao raised his eyebrows: "Which one? If it's Jingli, I won't come!"

"No, no, it's Changying." Chen Duo looked at Emperor Chongzhao eagerly.

Emperor Chongzhao immediately waved his hand and said, "Don't think about that. That was the imperial concubine's brilliant idea back then. I think it's the most suitable position.

"Even if you can't solve the case here, it's not as important as him taking good care of Brother Tao for me!"

Chen Duo gave up in disappointment.

He left and went on to investigate the case. The upset Emperor Chongzhao could not bear to read the memorials any longer, so he walked to Yinyu Hall.

Qinghai followed behind, feeling apprehensive, and explained carefully: "I only have one disciple, Changying, and two grand-disciples, Jianzhong and Jiancheng..."

"Haha! Didn't you hear me? A dog slave in Qinghui Pavilion, who is just your fellow villager, has the guts to stick his neck out and challenge Chen Duo."

Emperor Chongzhao was too lazy to pay attention to Qinghai and waved his hand, "You decide for yourself. Changying is good, Chenduo is also good.

"At worst, I can just find someone else to serve me from now on."

Qinghai's legs were so weak with fear that he cried and swore to heaven that he would be a good and impartial eunuch and would not let anyone find any fault with him.

Emperor Chongzhao snorted twice, stepped into the Yinyu Hall, took a look at Wujin, and then told Wang Xifeng what Chen Duo had found out, slapping his thigh and cursing:

"So blatant!"

Wang Xifeng was also stunned. After a while, she hurriedly called Aunt Meng and asked her to go to the Imperial Hospital to invite a doctor with a keen nose to check her own palace thoroughly:

"It's not that we don't want Chen Duo to rummage around, it's mainly because he may not be as thorough as we are.

"An'er, take people to check everything in my small warehouse, and make sure no one smuggles in anything that shouldn't be there.

"And there are He Ke and Sister Lin! Sister Lin was born weak, and she has finally gotten better in the past six months. Don't let anything go wrong on our part, or I won't be able to explain to Lord Lin!

"As for County Lady Zhai, Aunt Meng will go and explain to her in person and ask for her understanding. I will invite her to have lunch with me tomorrow to make amends to her."

While Emperor Chongzhao was dazzled, Wang Xifeng had already finished her assignments.

"Why didn't you check every palace like this earlier?"

"This harem is not mine, it belongs to the Empress! How can I be so unreasonable if I search through it like a house search?"

Emperor Chongzhao and Wang Xifeng stared at each other.

Ok.

When did they start talking about such important things like they were chatting about daily life?
