Chapter 421 The Charge Must Be Serious
As soon as Jinzhong left, Guard Zhang's face tightened with an unclear look in his eyes, full of hesitation, and then, hostility.
To become a royal guard, one must not only have a good family background, but also work hard and have the ambition to make progress.
He trained hard all year round, not to let his martial arts be trapped in conspiracy and struggle, he wanted to climb up, to bring honor to his family, to...
But the premise of all this is that I am still alive, and I have to stand firmly in front of the emperor so that the emperor will remember me!
Guard Zhang walked quickly towards the old maid who was guarding the palace maids and said in a low voice, "Aunt Yuhu, since the emperor has sent you here, he must want to find out who is behind this. I would like to borrow two maids from the Shenxing Division from you."
Yu Hu's eyebrows were grim: "I'm afraid this matter involves a lot of people, have you thought it through?"
Guard Zhang said in a deep voice: "Now it is not a question of whether I have thought it through or not. Since the person behind the scenes has taken action, I am loyal to the emperor and I don't care about his identity or background!"
Even if the person found out this time was the emperor's son or grandson, he would have to grit his teeth and admit it - he was a royal guard, and as a royal guard he could only be loyal to the emperor, otherwise he would be committing a big taboo and would implicate all nine clans.
Aunt Yuhu nodded and said, "Since you understand the importance of this matter, Aunt Su, Aunt Chen, you two should go with Guard Zhang."
Guard Zhang felt relieved. These two were masters of torture. They knew methods that would only torture people without causing serious injuries. They were just right for using them now.
He bowed deeply to Aunt Yuhu, then left quickly with the two aunts.
Aunt Yu Hu glanced at Lan Cui and lowered her eyes.
Lan Cui felt Aunt Yuhu's gaze and her heart was pounding with nervousness, but she quickly showed a respectful look on her face. When Aunt Yuhu looked away, she looked towards the direction of the emperor's tent with worry again.
She firmly believed that they had no evidence. There was soup on her clothes, but that was after her master had an accident and she was so nervous that she knocked over the soup bowl and got the soup on her clothes.
She didn't even go far, but took advantage of everyone's panic and threw the soup basin at a guard on the list given by Eunuch Jinzhong.
The guard obviously thought that the person who threw the soup basin at him was his accomplice - he thought it was his master who asked him to destroy the body.
This is what is called a guilty conscience. When one sees something on the master's desk in front of him, he thinks he needs to take action.
Lan Cui wiped away her tears to hide the coldness in her eyes.
All those who want to harm the Master should die a miserable death, and it would be best if they all die a miserable death.
……
In the emperor's tent, Zhang Yun first checked the soup bowl and wine glass that Chunchan brought: "The wine glass is normal, and I don't smell anything strange, but the smell in this soup bowl..."
He pinched a little and tasted it, frowning: "Not only does this contain the secret medicine that the imperial concubine was injected with, but it also smells like mushrooms."
The emperor frowned slightly: "Mushroom? What is this?"
Zhang Yun said: "It is a poisonous mushroom. After eating it, people will have hallucinations, become extremely excited, and see illusions that others cannot see."
He hesitated: "This mushroom, plus the medicine..."
He didn't need to finish explaining it, Hongli's face had already turned dark.
This drug is meant to arouse desire, and coupled with illusions, it is going to cause Concubine Ling to die without a burial place!
He felt cold in his heart.
It was both anger at someone for daring to do something under his nose, and suspicion of the intentions of the person behind the scenes.
Concubine Ling was his lucky star. Although he kept the matter a secret, it was discovered by the Imperial Observatory after all. Plus, with his unbridled indulgence of Ruyi, it was inevitable that people would guess something.
If someone wants to murder him by murdering Fuxing...
His dark eyes were filled with coldness. "Being able to move one's hands and feet to the imperial presence is definitely not something an ordinary person can do. After Imperial Concubine Ling is safe, go check everything in the banquet hall."
Zhang Yun prostrated himself on the ground: “Yes!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Jinzhong came in and said, "Your Majesty, I went to check the Imperial Concubine's desk and found that a soup bowl was missing. Guard Captain Zhang captured Borjigit Chaohui and found the broken soup bowl."
Hongli asked coldly: "Borjigit Chaohui? Where is he now?"
Jinzhong lowered his head and said, "Guard Chaohui acted arrogantly, angrily accusing me and the chief guard of not giving face to the Borjigit family. Now, he has been taken away by the chief guard for interrogation."
Hongli's eyes became increasingly cold, as if a snowstorm was condensing, and he waved his hand.
Jinzhong immediately handed the soup bowl to Zhang Yun.
Zhang Yun carefully examined it and reported: "This soup bowl is already stained with a lot of dirt, but I can smell a little bit of mushrooms. The smell of medicine is not strong. In fact, I am not sure whether it is there."
Hongli sneered, "After going through so much trouble and wasting important chess pieces on the layout, if no clues were really destroyed, then the person behind the scenes must be really stupid!"
He stood up with a cold face, walked to the soft couch outside the screen and sat down, and said to Jinzhong: "Go, invite King Balin and the first wife in."
Jinzhong walked out quickly.
After a while, King Bahrain and his first wife came in quickly. As soon as they stood firm, they knelt down and apologized.
"I am truly doomed! I actually allowed such a filthy thing to appear at the banquet and harmed the Imperial Concubine Ling!"
"I would rather die than let anything happen to the Imperial Concubine. Otherwise, I will die of guilt!"
Hongli looked at them coldly, sizing up their expressions in silence.
Normally, the King and Queen of Bahrain would not and could not murder Concubine Ling, because their daughter was promoted to the title of Concubine because of Concubine Ling and He Jing. Even if they were crazy, they could not do it at a banquet they hosted.
but……
He said in a deep voice: "I naturally believe in the heart and character of King Bahrain. Besides, Noble Concubine Ling and Concubine Ying are like sisters. You two naturally have only respect for Noble Concubine Ling and have no ill will towards her."
King Bahrain cried with joy: "I am really grateful for your trust. Your Majesty, rest assured, I will cooperate with the investigation to find out who is trying to destroy the trust between Mongolia and Your Majesty! They are simply worthy of death!!!"
In fact, the matter may not be that serious, but the King of Bahrain dared not say otherwise.
If the thief's evil intentions were not strong enough, how could they cover up his lax supervision?
Even if it turns out that it was really a fight between the women in the emperor's harem, they still have to stick to the principle of justice on the surface, otherwise, no one will look good.
Hongli said in a deep voice: "In this case, Jinzhong, you go and watch it yourself and cooperate with King Bahrain to investigate. I will wait here today. I want to see who is harboring evil intentions!"
Jinzhong knelt on one knee and replied in a deep voice: "Yes! I obey your command!"
As luck would have it, just as he stood firm, Jinshou came in with two bowls of medicine.
