"The Emperor has ordered that all eunuchs and officials gather outside Chongming Hall. Hurry, no one is allowed to delay!"
"Those who are not dead should be carried away. The dead... humph, they should be carried away too!"
"hurry up!!"
Eunuch Liu, who came to deliver the imperial decree, spoke in a bad tone and looked like everyone was about to rebel. Everyone was terrified and no one dared to ask.
In the Fourth Prince's Palace, Huo Renli had just bandaged the wound on his hand when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.
He was startled and quickly shouted, "Who is it?"
The young eunuch said, "Master, it's me, Xing'er."
"The Emperor has urgently summoned all the eunuchs in charge to Chongming Palace. I don't know what happened. Eunuch Liu said that even if they die, they will be carried there. I'm afraid something serious has happened. Please hurry up and don't let suspicion arise."
Huo Renli's expression suddenly changed, and a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes.
I ran into that beautiful woman in the Imperial Garden today. Could she be the Emperor's new favorite? Judging from her appearance, she is indeed unique in the palace.
But I haven’t heard of her being conferred the title of princess. Who is she?
Huo Renli said, "Okay, I understand."
After taking a look at his freshly bandaged hand, Huo Renli tore it open without thinking.
Then, he put the thin mask on his face. He then placed the mask in the Fourth Prince's bedroom and took out a bag of ice wrapped in sheepskin.
When he was going out, he happened to meet the Fourth Prince who had returned, and their eyes met.
Xiao Huaizheng asked suspiciously, "Where is uncle going?"
He asked where he was going, not why he came out of the room, which proved that the Fourth Prince did not suspect him.
Huo Renli said quickly, "The Emperor has summoned all the eunuchs in charge. I don't know what happened."
"I wanted to tell you, but you weren't in the room, so I got some ice."
"The weather is hot and humid right now. If I can't come back for a while, it will be cooler."
The Fourth Prince had already learned the whole story, but he did not seek justice. He also wanted to know how Huo Renli could have escaped this disaster.
He immediately said, "Then uncle will take it away."
Huo Renli bowed and left in a hurry.
Xiao Huaizheng then pushed the door open and entered the room, looking around but didn't find anything wrong.
But the sachet hanging beside the bed was swaying, as if it had just been touched by someone.
He immediately went forward to check and found something stuffed inside. He slowly opened it and was immediately surprised.
It turned out to be a mask.
There was an incident of wild cats being tortured and killed in the palace before. Could it be that this old guy did it?
A person with such a twisted mind will definitely not be able to control himself next time and will burn his mask to see how he can continue to disguise himself.
Xiao Huaizheng immediately placed the mask on the flame, but he seemed to smell the smell of burning flesh. He was so scared that he took a step back, wondering if it was made of human skin?
But this was not the time to go into details. Xiao Huai was picking up the remaining burnt material and putting it back into the sachet. He packed it up together with the sachet and prepared to leave the palace to find a doctor to verify it.
At the palace, all the eunuchs in charge were present.
Since Zhou Dahai had not yet returned to duty, the eunuch Liu in front of the emperor stood on a high place and said, "Silence! No one is allowed to make a sound!"
He then entered the main hall, and after a while, the emperor and the prince came out.
Next to them stood a woman with outstanding appearance and extraordinary temperament.
Eunuch Liu came forward and said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and Princess Ding are all here."
Lin Yue looked down. All the supervisors were silent and bowed their heads. No one looked up. If they weren't mentally strong, they must have known her identity long ago.
The latter is okay, he's just a piece of shit who knows how to hide.
If it's the former, then he's a vicious pervert.
Lin Yue said, "Go and carry the gold and jade out, and bring them to my side so we can identify them together."
The emperor quickly said to Eunuch Liu, "Go quickly."
Eunuch Liu did not dare to delay and ran over immediately.
At the same time, Huo Renli below was a little shocked. The emperor seemed to be very protective of Princess Ding.
He had always thought that she was just a newly favored noble in the palace, but now thinking about it, it was a mistake.
Princess Ding has been in the palace for two days and is very favored by the Queen Mother. He should have thought of this a long time ago.
Now that Prince Ding is still at the border, the emperor has to give him some face. Looking at the current situation, he has to find a scapegoat.
Fortunately, he had thrown away the ice. As long as he changed his voice, Princess Ding would not be able to hear it.
Eunuch Liu brought chairs to the masters, and the emperor and others sat down in turn.
Lin Yue and Jin Yu were slightly closer to the front, and next to Jin Yu was Doctor Lin, and both of them were standing.
Lin Yue said: "You all step forward one by one and just say to me, 'I wonder which palace your Majesty is from? I've never seen her before!'"
"Don't say anything else. Then let Doctor Lin examine your right hand. After the examination, stand aside and wait. Do you understand?"
There were a lot of echoing voices coming from below, but it didn't sound like anything special.
Lin Yue said to Eunuch Liu, "Let's get started."
Eunuch Liu immediately stepped forward and said, "Princess Ding has made it clear. You must follow her instructions. Anyone who dares to disobey will be punished by the Emperor and the Crown Prince being here!"
The emperor shouted angrily, "If anyone behaves abnormally, there is no need to interrogate them, just kill them!"
All the eunuchs nodded nervously and said quickly, "I dare not."
It started, and the supervisors came forward one by one.
The voice may be sharp or thin, and the stature may be tall or short.
Neither look alike.
Soon it would be Huo Renli's turn. He suddenly realized the injury on his hand. It was no longer possible to injure someone else to use as a scapegoat. He seemed a little annoyed.
