Chapter 362 Corpse, Chunpin's Corpse
Yu Wenjie reached into Xu Jincai's clothes, and the desire that had just subsided was revived. He approached her greedily: "Follow me, and I won't let you suffer any grievances."
Xu Jincai likes Jiang Jing.
She clenched her hands tightly, but was afraid that he would kill someone, so she could only endure it silently.
"Jiu Su will be angry if you do this. She said..." The man's hands kept wandering over her body, and unprecedented feelings spread in her heart. She breathed unsteadily and gasped, "I only like...body and soul..."
However, Yu Wenjie already knew about this.
He said: "I will tell her that I have never had a woman..."
“Ugh…don’t…”
"I heard you like Jiang Jing. I'll teach you how to seduce a man."
Xu Jincai fell little by little.
——
The sky above the palace was as gloomy as Emperor Xu's expression.
Jiusu stopped and said in a deep voice: "No, that concubine must have died unjustly. They took the blame for someone else. Before Concubine Yin's maid went in, it must have been someone else. Concubine Chun was framed."
Jiang Jing didn't know.
None of the men outside dared to come forward and look up.
"Why? Did you see anyone hiding in the house?"
Jiusu pinched the man's sleeve. The raindrops fell on the back of her hand, making it even whiter. She recalled: "When we passed by, we heard fierce shouting. There must have been traces on her body, but..."
She remembered that when Chunpin ran out, she was only wearing a simple piece of clothing.
There was not a single scar on the neck.
"She looks like she just woke up."
Jiang Jing said: "Go and see her body, and the truth will be revealed."
At this time, the eunuchs in the palace were pushing a cart and walking out of the palace impatiently, cursing the leading eunuch.
Jiusu leaned over and asked quietly, "Are you talking about Eunuch Wu, the head of the Imperial Household Department?"
"Yes!" The young eunuch nodded, then came to his senses and turned to look at the person asking the question. He was so scared that he quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed for mercy, "Sir, please spare me, don't tell Chief Steward Wu!"
Jiusu waved his hand and nodded, "It's hard work, it's okay to complain about the boss! By the way, what is this little eunuch pulling?"
Seeing that there was no danger, the young eunuch smiled and said, "The body, the body of Concubine Chun."
Jiusu pretended to be shocked.
"Young Master, can I pray for her? That way you won't be afraid when you bury her."
"Thank you, Lord Jiu." The young eunuch looked around and hurriedly bent down to express his gratitude. He had just recovered from his illness and was given such an assignment on his first day as a eunuch.
Of course I’m scared!
He rubbed his hands and stood aside, waiting for Lord Jiu to exorcise the ghost for him.
Jiusu lifted the white cloth.
A pale face was revealed under the white cloth, but...
This is not Concubine Chun.
"Isn't this the maidservant beside Princess Jincai?"
The young eunuch was stunned. He looked over and saw that the body was indeed different from the one he had just pulled. As for the maid, he had never seen her before. He fell to the ground and asked, "What is going on?"
Jiusu asked: "Have you ever left halfway?"
The young eunuch shook his head.
Jiang Jing said, "It seems someone deliberately switched the bodies. Little eunuch, we must go back and report to the emperor."
The young eunuch was in tears.
He felt very unlucky to encounter this situation on his first day at work. He had to meet the emperor soon, which was obviously a lifetime honor. He touched his neck.
I feel like my life is really over.
"My slave...can't stand up anymore."
Jiang Jing held out his hand, a faint smile on his face: "Don't be afraid, just report the truth. This official and Lord Jiu will testify for you."
What virtue and ability does this little eunuch have?
He leaned forward and knelt on the ground.
"I thank you both."
Jiang Jing's smile deepened, and he took his hand and pulled it up: "You're welcome."
The young eunuch pushed the wooden cart and followed behind the two men, his eyes not on the road but on the two men. He was so lucky to meet such a good person on his first day at work.
Imperial study.
Emperor Xu was very happy that Jiusu and Jiang Jing came.
But when asked, it turned out to be about Concubine Chun.
He frowned, "I'm sick."
Eunuch Shang immediately understood and walked out cautiously, saying to the two men, "The Emperor is in a bad mood. You two should go back first."
Jiusu said: "The cause of Chunpin's death is suspicious. She was framed. Please report this to the emperor again, eunuch."
Soon, the two were summoned.
The young eunuch stood at the door with his head lowered, waiting to be called.
After hearing the whole story, Emperor Xu folded his hands together, as if in deep thought.
Jiusu knows.
The emperor was wondering whether he was being cuckolded or causing trouble in the harem. Perhaps he would need a single sentence to break the balance between the two.
"With all the envoys here, it would probably be difficult to find out the truth, so let it go."
Emperor Xu frowned: "Am I afraid of them?"
Jiang Jing flattered: "Your Majesty is famous and fearless, but the envoys who entered the palace today are extremely unbelievable. This matter needs to be investigated to prevent someone from deliberately angering you and damaging the reputation of the Xu Kingdom."
During the parade around the palace.
He looked at it on purpose.
Yu Wenjie and Xu Jincai were not here.
"Lord Jiang, what you say makes sense." Emperor Xu secretly made a decision in his heart, "After all, there are many concubines in the harem. Lord Jiu will take full responsibility for investigating this matter, and Lord Jiang will assist in the investigation."
Eunuch Shang handed over the token.
This token can search anywhere in the palace.
After receiving the order and going out.
The rain is getting heavier again.
Eunuch Shang handed over two umbrellas.
Jiusu's eyes flickered slightly: "Eunuch Shang, please tell me where the guard is now?"
Eunuch Shang thought for a moment and said, "Maybe he's still in the servants' quarters in the southwest corner. This young eunuch doesn't look familiar. He must have just arrived. He should know the way."
The young eunuch lowered his head and said, "Yes, I know."
That was the nightmare of all eunuchs and a place they didn't want to recall.
After the castration, he was locked in a small dark room for a few days. If he figured it out, he would come out and become a eunuch. If he didn't, he would die in there.
It took about an incense stick of time.
Just arrived at the remote lower room.
Jiusu showed the token and someone led them in. The door was so low that people had to bend over to get in. After searching for a long time in the dark room, they finally saw the guard huddled in the corner, holding his abdomen in unbearable pain.
There are differences between men and women.
Afraid that the guards would be nervous.
"Ajing, I'll wait for you outside the door."
Jiang Jing brought the young eunuch into the room. The guard was in so much pain that he didn't want to open his eyes. When he realized someone was coming, he lay there motionless. Could anything be more painful than this?
Jiang Jing said, "This is a painkiller pill. Take it and the pain will go away."
"Hmm..." Xi Chang opened his eyes, looked at the person who came, and subconsciously stood up to salute. Looking at the hand blocking his shoulder, his eyes turned red. "Thank you... Lord Jiang."
Xi Chang uttered a few words with difficulty.
He took the painkiller pill tremblingly. After taking it, the pain in the injured area gradually subsided. After regaining consciousness, he thanked him again, but he just didn't understand.
Why did Lord Jiang look for him?
Could it be...
"Are you...are you here to investigate a case?"
Jiang Jing ordered the eunuch to pour him a cup of hot water. Seeing that his expression had relaxed for a long time, he nodded and said, "Yes, Lord Jiu discovered that you and Concubine Chun might have been wrongly accused, so he went to the emperor to overturn the case."
"emperor…"
"The Emperor agrees."
