Chapter 319: The Perverted Mute Slave
After being splashed with water to wake up the mute slave, his cloudy eyes were confused at first, but they became clear and sharp after a moment.
His first reaction was not to care about his own situation, but to lie on the ground as if he was about to touch a knife, staring at the emperor fiercely.
His crazy behavior was quickly suppressed by the guards, and Emperor Xuanwu walked over: "You can't speak, but you know a few words, write them on the ground with water, why do you want to kill Concubine De and her maids?"
The mute slave became more and more excited, and a violent force rushed over from his body. Emperor Xuanwu retreated in time, and he was soon suppressed by the guards again, and he was indifferent to what the emperor said.
The maids who had just helped Concubine De escape were all from Yanqing Palace. Jiang Xinyue waved her hand and said, "Come here, are you guys? Is this dumb slave deaf or just unable to speak?"
The maids looked at each other, and finally one of them said, "To answer the Imperial Concubine, the dumb slave was rescued by our queen in the cold palace ten years ago. At that time, his throat had been burned with charcoal and his ears pierced with silver needles. He must have been unable to hear or speak at that time."
"Can he read?"
"These servants don't know this. Mo Nu has always been a loner. The Lotus Garden is usually not open to the public. Mo Nu is the only one who is responsible for cleaning. Sister Lu Yin goes there occasionally. He has a bad temper. No one in Yanqing Palace is close to him and no one knows him well. The only one who is slightly close to him is Sister Lu Yin..."
The little palace maid started crying as she spoke. It was probably because Lu Yin's death was hard for them to accept.
The emperor thought it was unlucky to bring a dead person in, so he put Lu Yin's body outside. Shuangjiang and Jiangchuan went out to take a look and saw a bloody face lying on the ground.
"Someone was murdered...someone was murdered...hahahaha..."
Mo Nu was not the only one who was crazy. Xiao Ronghua slipped out from the side door at some point, shouting and running away.
Tang Shiliang could only lead people to chase after him. It was very unsafe to leave a madman running around in the palace.
Concubine De found a deaf and dumb eunuch of unknown origin and suspected illiterate to guard the piranhas and help her deal with various corpses. She should have firmly believed that Mo Nu would not be exposed. What happened that made Mo Nu have to kill her?
The bloody dagger on the ground dazzled Jiang Xinyue's eyes under the reflection of the sunlight. The handle of the dagger was inlaid with several gorgeous rubies, which was definitely not something that a eunuch of Mo Nu's status could own.
In other words, this dagger belonged to Concubine De.
"Lü Yin..."
Jiang Xinyue was about to express her doubts when Mo Nu suddenly struggled and fell to the ground. He twisted a few times and then stopped moving.
The guard sniffed his breath and said, "Your Majesty, he is dead."
The black blood flowing from the corner of his mouth indicated that he died of poisoning.
Xiao Ronghua went crazy, Lu Yin died, and Mu Nu died too. All the evidence that could prove that Concubine De was the murderer behind all the crimes was gone.
Xi Que and Shuang Jiang's eyes were red. They were angry that Concubine De did not take the lives of the palace maids seriously. If everything was planned by Concubine De herself, then Lu Yin must have been killed by her.
As palace maids, they could empathize with Lu Yin more. They
were even more angry that their master finally had the opportunity to overthrow Concubine De, but she escaped by killing someone who knew the truth.
Wouldn't all their efforts be in vain?
In the side hall, several imperial doctors and female doctors jointly treated Concubine De. Basins of blood were carried out, and the situation did not look optimistic.
Even the emperor was shaken. Could it be that the concubines and maids who had disappeared in the palace in recent years were really killed by dumb slaves?
The knife stabbed so deep that the imperial doctor said it was only half an inch away from piercing Concubine De's vagina. If that was the case, Concubine De would definitely die.
What's the point of risking one's life just to escape?
"I and others have used Ma Fei San on Concubine De, but she hasn't woken up yet. However, Concubine De was seriously injured and cannot be moved. If you want her to live, she will have to recuperate in Hexi Palace for a few days. At least she can't be moved until she wakes up. Otherwise, the wound will burst and bleed again, and she will still die."
Jiang Xinyue would rather let a pervert who killed so many people live here. She
can't be moved. In the next few days, Jiang Xinyue will have to keep both eyes on guard when she sleeps, otherwise she will not know how she died.
Emperor Xuanwu sensed her fear, and said to Xi Que and Shuang Jiang: "What are you standing there for? Your master doesn't like to live with others, go and pack up, your master will live with me in Chengqian Palace for the next few days."
Everyone around them widened their eyes, but Wang Dequan and Tang Shiliang looked as if they were used to it, and they would not jump out to remind the emperor: This is against the rules.
In this palace, the emperor's wishes are the rules, and favor is the rule.
Tang Shiliang is already Jiang Xinyue's man. The more the emperor favors him, the happier he is. Why would he bother to give advice?
Wang Dequan... Although it is not a complete surrender, if he is asked to choose a queen who suits his own wishes in the harem, it must be Jiang Xinyue.
Not for anything else, just because she is the only master who treats the palace maids and eunuchs as human beings, not the kind of hypocritical ones, but the real ones.
Just look at these eunuchs and palace maids in Hexi Palace, each of them has her own personality, and is unreservedly loyal to her master.
They are not the low-level palace maids in other palaces who are lifeless, cautious, and afraid of losing their lives if they do something wrong.
When Shuangjiang and Xijue heard this, they were so happy that they almost laughed out loud, but unfortunately the scene was not suitable, so they held it back.
"Your Majesty, why don't you let Concubine Jiang stay with me for a few days!"
She was worried about letting Concubine De stay here, and her confidants followed her to Chengqian Palace. What if she put something here again, it would be even harder to explain.
Defei can make poison, and Jiang Guipin can make incense.
Jiang Guipin, who is extremely sensitive to smells and can distinguish different smells in the air, can just restrain Defei.
Jiang Xinyue looked up at the emperor: "Your Majesty wants to fill in the lotus pond in front of Xihe Hall, and also remodel the layout of Xihe Hall. It will take time to change its name. Jiang Guipin moved to another palace suddenly, and there must be no time to prepare. She will stay here for a few days. When her luggage is moved to Jingren Palace, it will not be too late for her to go there."
As for when the luggage will be moved, it depends on when Defei leaves.
The emperor's eyes flickered: "Then send someone to Xihe Hall to notify, confer Jiang Guipin as a concubine, give her the title of Wen, and grant her the title of Jingren Palace."
From today on, Jiang Guipin is Concubine Wen.
Jingren Palace has always been a place where only concubines can live. When the empress dowager was still in power, only the Shufei and Rongfei had extremely noble status and could live in Jingren Palace.
The emperor naturally understood that Jiang Xinyue was asking for a title for Concubine Wen, but it was just a concubine. The Jiang family had also made a lot of efforts in the Guangdong and Guangxi corruption case and the Yuzhou siege case during this period, so it was worth giving Jiang Yuan a concubine.
