The rise of the president in the harem

It is not uncommon for palace floods to occur in all dynasties.But after Gao Yue heard the news, her heart still skipped a beat, and she hurriedly asked, "Where did the water go?"

"It's the archives, and the fire started over there!" Eunuch Zhang followed the emperor and Gao Yue, walking back outside the Jiyang Hall.

Sure enough, a cabinet was set on fire in the registry office at noon, and Gao Yue felt that something was wrong at that time, and now the whole hall was on fire, which was obviously done on purpose.Purpose?Isn't that obvious? I'm afraid that Qi Sheath will lead someone to find out something!

However, in this way, it also shows that there is really a problem with the people used in the royal harem.

"This matter needs to be taken seriously." Gao Yue walked beside Zhou Feiqi and reminded him in a low voice.

"Well," Zhou Feiqi looked at Gao Yue and asked, "Do you have an idea?"

Gao Yue said: "A cabinet was burned over there at noon. It is said that it contained the files of the deceased palace people in the palace over the years. Qi Sheath was worried that the rebirth would change, so he added manpower and planned to go through all the files overnight. If it wasn’t black, it was on fire again, I’ll see him in a while and ask to see if there’s anything wrong with it, and then we’ll make a conclusion.”

Zhou Feiqi nodded, feeling that Gao Yue had a clear mind and didn't panic when encountering problems, which was actually very similar to that person.So, along the way, he didn't say anything, but he would look at Gao Yue from time to time.

At this time, Gao Yue's mind was racing, and he didn't notice the emperor's small movements at all.All he wants now is that no one will be killed in this fire.

A group of people rushed to the archives quickly, and there were a hundred or so meters away when they saw a group of people anxiously carrying water to fight the fire.Qi Sheath, with a face full of smoke and dust, shuttled through the crowd and directed, looking a little embarrassed.

Gao Yue quickened her pace, rushed over and pulled Qi Sheath out of the crowd, first checked up and down, and was relieved when she saw that he was not injured.Qi Sheath was obviously also worried about Gao Yue, and kept pushing him away, saying, "You shouldn't have come here? What should you do if you're smothered by the fire? Go back, I'm here!"

"I came with His Majesty," Gao Yue turned sideways to let Qi Sheath see Zhou Feiqi who was not far away, and then asked, "How did this fire start? I heard that a cabinet was burned at noon?"

Qi Sheath glanced at Zhou Feiqi, saw that he had come this way, and saluted the emperor first, and then continued to answer Gao Yue's question after hearing Zhou Feiqi say "flat body", "That cabinet was originally placed In the back hall, we have been transcribing the roster in the front hall, but we haven’t found it in the back hall, and it was lunch time at that time, and most of the eunuchs and maids of the archives crowded in the front yard to receive their meals, so no one paid attention It wasn't until we smelled the smoke in the hall that someone entered the back hall, and we didn't realize that something was wrong. It took two buckets of water to extinguish the cabinet, but the scroll inside was burnt and wet, and it was no longer there. It is very useful. The cabinet and the remaining files in it have been moved to the opposite yard by someone. In the next afternoon, I called Xiao Xingzi to sort out the scrolls in that cabinet. He had managed to sort out some scrolls just now Eyebrow, suddenly the whole file office caught fire. Now all the files are being transferred to the opposite yard, if it is convenient for you, why not go to the opposite yard to watch."

Gao Yue said: "Where did the fire start? Also, do you still have the results you sorted out?"

"The list is all there. When the fire hits, I will let them run out of the list immediately." Qi Sheath said, reaching into his pocket, and took out a stack of crumpled paper, which was quite thick. , seeing that they had gained a lot this day, he said again: "This time the fire started from the side hall, and there was no one in that room at the time." When he said that there was no one, he frowned, as if he was not sure , and added: "The eunuch in charge of the archives office said so, but our people saw a young eunuch go in. After the fire started, everyone was in a mess, and we didn't see who it was."

"You mean to say that the eunuch in charge of the registry lied?"

"I have no evidence." Qi Sheath didn't want to lie, she could only tell the truth.

Gao Yue suddenly lowered his voice, and asked, "Have you read the scroll of the eunuch in charge of this register?"

Qi Sheath also lowered her voice, "I read it, he is from Yucheng, Weinan, not from Jinzhou."

"Yucheng?" Gao Yue wondered where he had heard this word, and the emperor who had been standing beside him giving orders to dispatch guards suddenly turned around and said to him, "Everyone in Yucheng should be thoroughly investigated."

It was only then that Gao Yue remembered that Liu Qingfeng had said that the Bai family was from Yucheng before entering Jinzhou.Therefore, the eunuch in charge of this archives may have a big problem.

Hearing the words, Qi Sheath bowed and said yes, and when she looked up, she saw Gao Yue had come to the emperor's side, whispering something to the emperor, the scene of the two people whispering together was so utterly indescribable The intimacy has faintly formed a layer of film, isolating the rest of the people out—Qi Sheath looked down at the thick stack of papers in his hand, his fingers tightened, and his fingertips turned white.

Gao Yue is now saying to the emperor: "Your Majesty remembers Liu Qingfeng's words?"

"That's right." Zhou Feiqi said: "If the source of the Gu worms is the Bai family, based on their whereabouts, traces can be found in Yucheng, Jicheng, Gucheng, and even the eastern suburbs of Pingjing to Baxian Mountain. It can be seen that if someone Most of the controlled Gu must come from these places. I am afraid that there is also a master of Gu control hidden in this palace."

Gao Yue nodded, he agreed with these remarks very much, and said: "I don't think the fire is burning right today."

"Oh? Let's hear it."

"This fire doesn't burn sooner or later. We have to wait until we thoroughly investigate the harem before it burns. It seems that someone is deliberately sending out a signal to lead us to investigate thoroughly. I think it looks like people in the dark are fighting in the nest. I'm afraid It's about throwing out an abandoned child." Gao Yue said, squinting his eyes as he watched the fire that had been extinguished by the guards, eunuchs and others.

Zhou Feiqi looked at him sideways, and saw the firelight reflected on his dark pupils, which made those eyes even more brilliant like stars, and felt that Taoist Chi Yun's words were right—Gao Yue did have seven orifices Linglong heart.

Seeing the emperor's silence, Gao Yue thought that he didn't explain clearly, and explained: "Even if there is no thorough investigation of the harem today, the fire in the harem will be investigated thoroughly, let alone at this time, the queen mother ordered a thorough investigation. The harem, the archives are where important evidence is stored, and now someone set it on fire, isn’t this a collision with the tip of a knife? I don’t think it’s difficult to investigate this matter, maybe there will be clues after cross-examination, It's just that the person found in this way is just a scapegoat. It's rare to find out the person behind the scapegoat, that is the real culprit!"

"If I entrust this matter to you, what should you do?"

Gao Yue thought for a while, and said: "If I do it, I will kill the sheep openly and capture the king secretly."

Zhou Feiqi laughed after hearing this. He felt that despite his unspeakable expectations, the current Gao Yue was really more and more suitable for living in the harem, and it would be okay if he took time to mediate in the court...

Seeing Zhou Feiqi smile, Gao Yue felt that at least there was nothing wrong with his direction, and he felt a sense of hanging stones falling down in his heart.It's really strange to say that this Zhou Feiqi is really suitable for people to be reassured. Thinking of this, Gao Yue couldn't help but smile at the emperor. For a moment, His Majesty only felt that the face of this person in front of him was more dazzling than the fire that soared into the sky.

Zhou Feiqi looked away, pretending to be calm and said: "Then I will leave this matter to you. Yueer, don't let me down."

With a slight smile on Gao Yue's face, she bowed slightly and said, "I will obey the imperial decree."

Due to the arrival of the emperor, a large number of people gathered here in the archives, and all those delicate concubines in the harem who would never go to the scene of the fire on weekdays came to wash their faces like a gust of wind.All of a sudden, the fire was raging, and the smoke was flying everywhere, "Be careful, your majesty", "Why are you slaves so stupid", "Go and help put out the fire", "Ahem, my concubine's throat is itchy due to the smoke, Your Majesty...' chirping.

Obviously, these women came to Zhou Feiqi with a clear goal. Of course, after they came, they basically circled around Zhou Feiqi's eyes.

Naturally, Concubine Shu, Concubine Han and others also came, such things as walking in the harem don't happen very often, since they caught up today and the emperor is here, as far as they are concerned, they just don't want to be ahead or fall behind.

But at this time, Gao Yue was no longer among the concubines in the harem, because he was currently interrogating the matter in the courtyard opposite the registry office.A small courtyard was densely packed with people kneeling at this moment.Today, all the people who have been in and out of the registration office were called here by Gao Yue, including the 'self' brought by Qi Sheath and Xiao Xingzi.Gao Yue was sitting in a chair on the porch, and a row of guards stood behind him. The gate of the courtyard was closed, and there was another row of guards standing at the door, holding sabers in their hands, and two people holding wooden sticks, who seemed to be ready to hold sticks at any time. punishment.

This posture alone is scary enough.

The palace people kneeling in the yard were all scared, and some of them were already crying softly.

It was time to light the lanterns, Gao Yue and the others lit up all the lanterns before speaking, and asked first: "I heard that the file office caught fire twice today?"

The eunuch in charge of the archives office knelt at the front, trembling when he heard the words, and hurriedly said: "Yes, there is such a thing."

"Why?" When Gao Yue spoke, her body leaned forward slightly. Just this change in sitting posture instantly made the eunuch in charge feel a sense of coercion, and her tongue became even more frightened——

"Nu Nu, Nu Ah don't know!"

He stuttered so badly that there were several untimely 'poofs' from the crowd.

Gao Yue raised her eyes and looked at the places where the noises were made, and saw that there were court ladies and eunuchs who were laughing. These people can still laugh at such a moment, either because they did not deal with the eunuch in charge in the past, or because they have nothing to do with themselves The heart is open, and it may be the instigator——Gao Yue secretly wrote down these people, looked away and continued to stare at the eunuch in charge, and sneered: "You don't know? As the eunuch in charge of the archives, someone ordered the stronghold, don't you?" Thinking about the cause, you still dare to say that you don’t know?”

The eunuch's face changed when he heard the words, and he quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy, saying: "Please calm down, please forgive me! Please allow me two days, the servant will, ah, will find out—"

Gao Yue didn't let him finish speaking, and raised his hands behind him, and said four words coldly: "One hundred punishments with a stick."

one hundred? !

This is to beat people to death!

This time no one can laugh anymore!

The eunuch turned pale with fright, was dragged to the door by the guards, and shouted again and again: "Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, spare your life!"

Gao Yue didn't even twitch her brows, her stern face was like a black-faced Yan Luo.Soon, there were hog-killing screams in the courtyard.Gao Yue started his interrogation under this background sound. He first said: "Next, if I ask a question, whoever answers first can lose five sticks, and those who don't answer will receive twenty sticks one by one, one by one. I can't run away either!"

When everyone heard this, their eyes glowed green, and they couldn't care less about being afraid. They all pricked up their ears and listened intently to Gao Yue's next words.

Gao Yue asked: "Who has been to the room where the cabinet is burning at noon?"

Immediately, a little eunuch shouted: "Report to Your Majesty, the slave saw that Xiao Xingzi had gone in!"

As soon as these words came out, apart from the screams of the eunuch in charge, the whole courtyard suddenly became extremely quiet.

Sachiko?Who is that?Even people without brains know that he is the most capable little eunuch around Gao Shijun. To say that he went into that room is not the same as saying that the cabinet burning at noon has nothing to do with Gao Shijun?Did the person who said this have a brain or not?Deliberately playing against Gao Shijun? e, the courage is commendable, end, huh, huh!

People were waiting for Gao Shijun's reaction. After waiting for a long time, they suddenly heard a burst of light laughter from the main seat. Everyone peeped to see that it was indeed Gao Shijun laughing. They didn't know what it meant, so they listened to Gao Shijun. Turning around, he asked Qi Xue who was standing behind him, "Qi Shangren, when did you transfer Xiao Xingzi to the register?"

Qi Sheath said, "It's three quarters past noon."

"Well," Gao Yue asked again, "When did the cabinet catch fire?"

"A quarter of noon."

Gao Yue nodded, and raised her chin at the little eunuch who blurted out the answer just now, "So, what is the purpose of you saying that Xiao Xingzi entered that room?"

"Your servant only said who went in, not when. The slave did see Xiao Xingzi go in, so he just reported the truth." The little eunuch thought he was very smart.But he didn't expect that as soon as he finished speaking, a scabbard flew towards him through the wind and slammed into his face with great anger!

Of course Gao Yue threw the scabbard, and at the same time, his cold voice with hidden anger sounded in the courtyard: "Don't shake this little cleverness in front of me!! Pull it down and pay two hundred!"

A guard had already walked over to the little eunuch. There was a gleaming knife hanging from his waist. It seemed that what Gao Yue threw was his scabbard just now.The little eunuch didn't beg for mercy when he was pulled down, but shouted loudly: "Gao Shijun, you are unfair—"

"Shut up!" Qi Sheath yelled angrily as she couldn't hear what Gao Yue said.

Gao Yue stared at the little eunuch with squinted eyes. He suddenly felt a little strange in his heart. He felt that the little eunuch might not know what would happen to him if he said that, but he did it anyway. Isn't this kind of behavior just hitting the knife edge directly? ?The royal family has shadow guards, the Li family has dead soldiers, and the Bai family may not have no loyal servants—could it be that this person is—Gao Yue raised his hand and was about to stop, when a maid in the crowd timidly said: "Report Your Majesty, this servant once saw Xiao Zhuzi go to the room where the cabinet was burning at noon. At that time, everyone was receiving food in the front yard. In the past, Xiao Zhuzi was the most active, but today he is abnormal. The servant took care to think that he was not feeling well. , I got a copy for him, but I didn’t expect to see him enter the room when I took it to the backyard, he was still looking around, the servant girl called him, but he didn’t seem to hear it.”

She spoke timidly and slowly, and when she finished speaking, the guard who beat the little eunuch at the gate also stopped, and shook his head at Gao Yue, which meant clearly that the little eunuch was dead because he couldn't help beating him so much! !

The little eunuch had a cloth stuffed in his mouth, so it was impossible to bite his tongue and kill himself, but at this moment, blood was dripping from the cloth in his mouth, which showed that the wound was inside, and no matter how severe the punishment was, it only took a few blows , far from the point of internal injury—therefore, the answer to what was hidden in this little eunuch's body, and why he was so eager to seek death, was already obvious.Rather than being pulled out and tortured and tortured, it is better to die early and seek rebirth.

Thinking of this, Gao Yue looked at the court lady with low brows and pleasing eyes, and felt for the first time that the water in the royal harem was quite deep.

There was still only the howling of the eunuch in charge in the yard, but he was quite forbidden to be beaten.

"Who is Xiao Zhuzi?" Gao Yue turned around and asked Xiao Xingzi in a low voice. Xiao Xingzi's expression was very ugly at the moment, and he whispered, "That little eunuch who was beaten to death is that."

Gao Yue nodded, and didn't seem too surprised.It's just that, looking at the court lady again, she felt that her behavior was even more suspicious, but Gao Yue knew what she said at the moment, and caught the loophole in her words, and asked: "You said you called Xiao Zhuzi? And how did you know he was there at that time?" backyard?"

"Little Zhuzi is the cleaning eunuch in charge of cleaning the back hall in the archives. They usually gather in the corner room behind the side hall to rest at noon. The servants only rest in the corner room when he is not feeling well, so they go into the backyard to look for him. The maidservant did call him, maybe the voice was too low for him to hear." The court lady looked timid, but she spoke in an orderly manner, and she was still not in a hurry after the matter, which shows that her inner quality is not normal.

But in front of Mr. Gao, high quality is obviously not enough, because Gao Yue is a ruthless person who can do anything to himself. Naturally, there is a way to make a court lady tell the truth.So after listening to her words, Gao Yue smiled and said, "Is there anyone to prove it?"

The maid was stunned for a moment, turned her head to look to the side, but shook her head and said, "No."

Gao Yue noticed that she was looking at another court lady just now, but now that court lady thought of something, she was shaking like chaff, she looked up at Gao Yue from time to time as if she had something to say.Gao Yue looked away, and continued to ask the maid before, "Then how do you make me believe what you said?"

"Slaves don't dare to extravagantly ask for the trust of the lord, but they want to be ashamed of their hearts, and still—"

"She's lying!" The lady who spoke was the maid who was shaking the screen just now. She seemed very excited, and she crawled forward a few times while talking, and said, "Mingya is lying! She didn't go to the backyard at lunch, she was I got two meals, but that one was actually for my servants!! Both Zier and Chunqiao can testify to this, the four of us were together at the time, and I asked Ming Ya to help me get the meals, and she finished the meal It was sent to the slaves!"

Following her roll call, two more court ladies hurriedly echoed, they couldn't do it if they didn't want to speak out, they were all called, and if they didn't speak, they were waiting to be punished.

"My servant, the matter is indeed as Niuer said, Mingya is lying."

"Your maidservant can also testify that Mingya didn't go to the backyard after receiving the meal."

These three people should be telling the truth, Gao Yue said: "You three get up first, you don't have to kneel."

As soon as this remark came out, the three court ladies all had joy in their eyes, Xie En hurriedly got up, even Niu'er wiped the tears from her face, and she stopped shaking.

Mingya's face was ashen, but she gritted her teeth and bowed her head in silence.

Gao Yue didn't ask her any more, but turned to the guards and said, "Press it down, and torture her carefully to prevent her from committing suicide."

The guards were ordered to line up, set up Mingya and dragged her away from the outer courtyard.Mingya didn't cry or make trouble when she was dragged away, she just looked at Gao Yue with begging and tears in her eyes-Gao Yue probably guessed that this palace lady was probably controlled by Gu insects, or something The handle fell into the hands of others.

"Qi Shangren," Gao Yue called Qi Shea in a low voice, and after he bent down to get close to him, he whispered again: "Now check the files of that little Zhuzi and this Mingya, I can't wait."

"Okay." Qi Sheath turned around and entered the hall behind Gao Yue, inside was the scroll of the archives transferred from the fire.He worked on this job all day, and quickly found the scrolls of those two people, so he gave them to Gao Yue before he had time to read them.

Gao Yue glanced at him and then shouted to the guard walking the stick at the door: "Don't hit me now, I have something to ask him."

The howling of the father-in-law still hasn't subsided, but the board he has endured for so long is obviously skinned and bloodstained. Most people would probably pass out from the pain. He still has the strength to shout, which shows the physiological structure of that body Should be different from ordinary people.

The guards brought the bloody father-in-law up to Gao Yue, who was still a foot away, Gao Yue smelled a stench of blood, and immediately wanted to vomit.He retched a bit, the guards stopped quickly, many people in the courtyard were startled when they saw this, and some were thoughtful—Is Gao Shijun pregnant?

If Gao Yue knew that these people were thinking about this, he might be able to vomit blood directly.

Seeing this, Xiao Xingzi hurried into the hall and brought out a cup of hot tea, Gao Yue took a sip before recovering.At this moment, he looked at the father-in-law in charge, and saw that the man was actually grinning. Although he didn't know why he was laughing, it was creepy to be able to laugh in such a mess.

Is the can broken?Gao Yue thought.He asked in a deep voice: "Xiaozhuzi, Mingya and you are both from Yucheng. They are all from the school where you got your registration in the school. Now Xiaozhuzi is a suspected arsonist. I ask you, what do you want?" Why did you instruct him to set the fire?" Gao Yue's words were equivalent to identifying the three as accomplices.There is no need to say much in the middle of the inference. After hearing Gao Yue's words, the people present also understood that there should be a record of picking people on the file scroll, and Gao Shijun came to this conclusion after reading it.

People can't help thinking that before Gao Shijun was not favored, everyone only knew that he was easy-going and easy-going, but now they understand that this person is not only very clever but also extremely smart, he is really not a simple character.It's fine if this kind of person looks ordinary, but he still looks like a banished immortal, no wonder His Majesty loves him so much.

Generally in the harem, each office will select some newcomers to join them every year, one is to replenish manpower, and the other is to cultivate confidantes.This kind of role can't fall into the hands of others, and most of them are well-behaved and clever juniors from the same hometown.Xiao Zhuzi is such a character, and everyone in the archives knows it well, but they don't dare to say more on weekdays.

The father-in-law opened his mouth as if to speak, but he sprayed blood as soon as he opened his mouth. The stench made several people retch. Two unlucky little eunuchs were sprayed with blood because they knelt in front of him. , He even rolled his eyes on the spot, foamed at the mouth and passed out.

This scene was so weird that many palace people in the courtyard screamed in fright!

"Scatter! Stay away from him!" Gao Yue snapped.

The crowd scattered, two guards had already put the knife on the neck of the father-in-law, but the father-in-law seemed not to be afraid, suddenly raised his head and laughed wildly, and shouted: "God is not fair, my Chen family was full of grievances and there is nowhere to complain. , and now I am dying, so I will take all of you to be buried with me!!!"

As he spoke, he spat out another mouthful of blood, but suddenly turned around and sprayed at the two guards!

The blood soaked into the body along the skin on the back of the hand, the guard suddenly let out a muffled groan, he couldn't even hold the knife steadily, and fell to the ground with a bang.Seeing this, Gao Yue knew that there was something wrong with the blood, and shouted: "Shut his mouth, don't let him squirt blood again! Bind him!" Then he turned back and rushed to the scabbard: "Go outside the courtyard and report to Your Majesty, please hurry up!" The Taoist leader of Chiyun Temple entered the palace to eliminate Gu!"

Qi Sheath didn't dare to delay, hurriedly walked out, walked two steps and came back, grabbed Gao Yue and said, "It's too dangerous here, come out with me!"

"No!" Gao Yue pushed his hand away, and said, "I have to stay here, go and report to His Majesty, don't delay any longer!"

Qi Sheath had no choice but to leave in a hurry.When he walked to the door, he heard Gao Yue shouting behind him: "Everyone come behind me, hurry up!!" Is he going to sacrifice his life to block something for others?Qi Sheath was worried and angry at the same time, and thought, if you don't listen to me, there will always be someone who can control you!He almost ran out of the yard, and when he found the figure of the emperor, he rushed straight over.

In the courtyard, everyone did not expect Gao Shijun to stand up for them at such a time. Shouldn't they be the ones blocking Gao Shijun?For a moment, everyone was a little overwhelmed, looked at each other, and couldn't decide whether to pay attention or not to go over!

Seeing that these people were not moving, Gao Yue yelled angrily: "What are you still doing? Don't you want to live? Don't you understand me when I say you're coming behind me?"

"At times like this, Shijun, should we stand in your way?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Many people muttered from low to low and shouted loudly, but they moved after that, but they all stood in front of Gao Yue.

Seeing this, Gao Yue became anxious, and said angrily, "Why don't you take your own life seriously? You can't stop those Gu worms! Get behind me quickly, if you don't obey me, one person will hit a hundred feet!"

"But, Servant—"

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up!" Gao Yue said as he took out a kit from his bosom. It was given to him by Taoist Chi Yun before he came back from Gucheng, and he said it would keep him safe from insects!Gao Yue shook the kit at this moment, and shouted: "Here is the kit of exorcism, don't even blot the ink, come here quickly!"

Seeing this, everyone stopped hesitating and stood behind Gao Yue one after another.

Gao Yue continued to order: "The guards at the gate went to find a few buckets of lime, and sprinkled a circle around the yard first to prevent the Gu insects from running around! All the blood stains were sprinkled with a layer of lime, and the places where people stood were also sprinkled in a circle. Son!"

The guards were all very skilled, and it didn't take long for anyone who walked through the door to have sex to come back with lime.

"Scatter down the corridor too, draw a horizontal line in front of people!" Gao Yue was directing, when he suddenly heard someone call him, and when he looked back, it was Zhou Feiqi who was standing at the gate and was about to come in.

Gao Yue quickly yelled: "Your Majesty, don't come in, there are Gu worms here, I just need to calm down, Your Majesty, get out!"

Listening to the tone of Gao Yue and the emperor talking, it's too casual, some people can't help being distracted...don't come in...get out or something, Gao Shijun said it so slippery!

"What can you suppress? Come here quickly!" Zhou Feiqi was obviously also a little angry.After he heard Qi Sheath's report, he felt that Gao Yue was too hateful, he didn't know how to cherish himself at all, and made him worry!

"I have Taoist Chi Yun's kit, nothing will happen! Don't come in, Your Majesty! Please get out!"

"If you don't come, I won't leave!"

"Your Majesty!" Gao Yue felt that Zhou Feiqi was too hateful, he was going to die of anxiety, why did this person add trouble to him?But he is the emperor, and at this moment in front of so many people, Gao Yue can't talk too directly and lose face to the emperor, so he has to soften his tone, as if persuading and coaxing, and said: "It's just a few Gu worms, can your majesty just Don't you believe me? My life is my life. Could it be that the life of the people in the harem is not life? Everyone in this world is your people, and I am here to protect them and I am protecting your people for your majesty. Your Majesty wants to come in, of course no one can stop you, but I hope that Your Majesty will not easily risk himself, this is the wish of all people!"

Saying that, Gao Yue solemnly bowed to Zhou Feiqi, and many palace people standing behind him were so touched that their eyes were red.Xiao Xingzi was the first to kneel down, kowtowed in Zhou Feiqi's direction and shouted: "Please don't put yourself in danger for the sake of the world, Your Majesty!"

Seeing this, the rest of the people also knelt down and kowtowed, begging His Majesty the Emperor to leave quickly!

Zhou Feiqi: ...

This person Gao Yue, he accidentally planted willows and willows into shades, this move really won a lot of people's hearts by accident!Well, let's leave it to him!

Zhou Feiqi snorted, and said: "If you let yourself get hurt, I will spare you!" After saying that, the person disappeared at the door.

Gao Yue hurriedly shouted: "Quickly, bolt the door and sprinkle lime!"

Zhou Feiqi who was locked outside the door: ...

In fact, Gao Yue didn't know whether the lime powder was really effective against Gu insects. He just thought that in many modern factories, lime was sprinkled to prevent insects and ants, and it was still useful to some extent.After all the fuss, the fire on the opposite side had been extinguished, and the summer night was getting darker, but everyone couldn't sleep.After what happened just now, the guards in the courtyard, no matter the palace servants, had their perception of Gao Yue refreshed again. There were some things that they didn't dare to say or didn't want to say before, but now they all scrambled to get in front of Gao Yue, and said——

"Gao Shijun, in fact, we have long since discovered that something is wrong with Eunuch Chen. Do you know that he goes to bed very late every night, and sometimes yells for no reason, like a demon, very scary!"

"Yeah, the servant remembers that it was only last month, he seemed to vomit blood in the middle of the night!"

"Little Zhuzi usually takes care of him, especially in winter, he is shivering from the cold every day, and wearing two cotton coats doesn't work!"

"He ate more than others, almost the amount of food for three people."

"My servant knows why he asked Xiao Zhuzi to burn the scrolls of the deceased palace servants, because so far there are two palace servants who died early that have not been recorded, and the meals of those two people are all for Eunuch Chen!"

"That's right, those two people belonged to the registry office. They died not long after entering the palace. At that time, Eunuch Chen had his body carried away. At first, we thought it was dealt with according to the palace rules, but later we found out that it was on the list of receiving meals. I also want the names of those two people, I feel that something is wrong but no one dares to ask. This register is covered by Eunuch Chen, if not for the servant to check today, we will never have the chance to say these things in this life!"

"The servant has also heard about those two people, and the corpses are said to have been boiled by Eunuch Chen..."

Gao Yue listened to the chatter of these people, and Eunuch Chen's words just now, "I am wronged by the Chen family..." echoed in his mind. He said to Xiao Xingzi: "Find out Eunuch Chen's file and give it to me."

Xiao Xingzi hurriedly ran into the hall to look for it.After a while, he took out a scroll and presented it to Gao Yue with both hands.The scroll reads "Chen Min, a native of Yucheng, whose father Chen Qinian was demoted in XX for withholding military rations privately, and his descendants will never be allowed to become officials, and his family fortune has declined.Chen Min voluntarily went to the palace to do hard labor in order to make ends meet. At first, he was a rough laborer in Xin Zheku, but later he was transferred to the registry office because of his literacy. Jiayi was promoted to be the eunuch in charge in six years. '

Even if the Chen family had a grievance, they would have been wronged by the previous dynasty. It is very difficult to reverse this kind of case.Jiayi was promoted to be in charge in six years, that is to say, the current emperor has promoted his position. Normally, at his age, even if he doesn't understand, at least he knows how to cherish blessings. Why is he still serving Gu worms in this harem?Besides, Gu worms can't reverse the case for his family, could it be that someone promised him something?

Gao Yue closed the scroll and asked the other eunuchs present, "Do you know who transferred Eunuch Chen to the registry?"

"My servant, I have been in the registry office for 20 years. I remember that the person who introduced Mr. Chen to the registry office was Xiaomizi, who has passed away long ago. Oh, by the way, after Xiaomizi passed away, Eunuch Chen got the original file. Thanks to the appreciation of the father-in-law who is in charge of the registry office, he took over the file office step by step." An old eunuch said so.

Gao Yue asked again: "What about the father-in-law at the original register?"

"Passed away two years ago."

"Is there a scroll?"

"Here, there was originally. However, the cabinet caught fire at noon, I'm afraid..."

At this point, everyone was shocked. It turned out that everyone couldn't understand why Eunuch Chen asked Xiaozhu to burn the scrolls of the deceased palace people and even set fire to the cabinet. Now it seems that the real secret of this file may not only be It's the two people who died but still received the meal in name, but those who really died!

At the very least, the former father-in-law in charge of the archives office is likely to be the one with problems!

What secrets are hidden in this harem, I'm afraid we really have to find out from those dead people!

Thinking of this, Gao Yue said to Xiao Xingzi: "Go and see, whose file was burned in that cabinet at noon."

Xiao Xingzi agreed, and turned back into the hall again.This time, even he could tell at a glance that there was something wrong with the lit cabinet.
