After the mute slave was woken up by being splashed with water, his cloudy eyes were confused at first, then regained consciousness after a moment and became extremely sharp.
The first reaction was not to care about his situation, but to lie on the ground as if he was about to touch a knife and glare at the emperor fiercely.
His crazy behavior was quickly suppressed by the guards, and Emperor Xuanwu walked over: "I can't speak, but I can always read a few words and write them on the ground with water. Why did I kill Concubine De and her maids?"
The mute slave became more and more excited, and rushed towards him with brute force. Emperor Xuanwu retreated in time, and he was quickly suppressed by the guards again. He was indifferent to what the emperor said.
The maids who had just protected Concubine De's escape were all from Yanqing Palace. Jiang Xinyue waved to her: "Come here, you guys. Is this mute slave a deaf mute or just can't speak?"
Several palace maids looked at me and I looked at you. Finally, one of them said: "Returning to the Imperial Concubine, the mute slave was rescued by our empress in the cold palace ten years ago. At that time, he had been burned mute with charcoal. His throat was pierced and his ears were pierced with a silver needle. He should have been unable to hear or speak at that time."
"Is he literate?"
"What the slaves don't know is that the mute slave has always been lonely, and the lotus garden is usually not open to the public. The mute slave is responsible for cleaning it alone. Sister Luyin occasionally goes there. He has a bad personality, and no one in Yanqing Palace goes with him. I don’t know much about him, and the only one who is slightly closer to him is Sister Luyin..."
The little palace maids began to cry while talking, probably because Lu Yin's death was difficult for them to accept.
The emperor thought it was unlucky to bring a dead person in, so he put Lu Yin's body outside. Shuang Jiang and Jiang Chuan went out to take a look, and what they saw was a bloody face lying on the ground.
"Killing...killing...hahahaha..."
The mute slave was not the only one who was crazy. Xiao Ronghua slipped out of the side door at some point and ran away while shouting.
Tang Shiliang could only lead people to chase him. It was very unsafe to leave a madman running around in the palace.
Concubine De found a eunuch who was deaf, mute, and whose origins were unknown. He was suspected of being illiterate to guard the piranha and help her dispose of various corpses. He must have believed that the mute slave would not be exposed. What happened that made the mute slave not to kill him? Can't you let her go?
The blood-stained dagger on the ground dazzled Jiang Xinyue's eyes under the reflection of the sun. The handle of the dagger was inlaid with several gorgeous rubies, which was definitely not something that a eunuch with the status of a mute slave could possess.
In other words, this dagger belongs to Concubine De.
"Greenery..."
Just as Jiang Xinyue was about to express her doubts, the mute slave suddenly struggled and fell to the ground, twisted a few times and then stopped moving.
The guard checked his breathing and said, "Your Majesty, he is dead."
The black blood flowing out of the corner of his mouth indicated that he died of poisoning.
Xiao Ronghua went crazy, Lu Yin died, and the mute slave died. All the evidence that could prove that Concubine De was the murderer behind all the crimes was gone.
Magpie and Shuangjiang's eyes were red. They were angry that Concubine De didn't take the palace maid's life seriously. If Concubine De had planned everything herself, then Lu Yin must have been killed by her.
They are also palace maids, and they are more sympathetic to greenery.
He was even more angry that his master finally had a chance to overthrow De Fei, but she escaped by killing the insider.
Then wouldn’t everything they have done be in vain?
In the side hall, several imperial doctors and medical women jointly diagnosed and treated Concubine De. Pots of blood were pouring out, and the situation looked not optimistic.
Even the emperor was shaken. Could it be that the concubines and maids who have disappeared in the palace in recent years were all killed by mute slaves?
The knife stabbed so deeply that the imperial doctor said it was only half an inch away from piercing De Concubine's organs. If that happened, De Concubine would definitely die.
What's the point of risking your life to escape?
"Weichen and others gave Concubine De the Ma Fei Powder. She is not awake yet. However, Concubine De is deeply injured and it is not suitable to move. If she wants to survive, I am afraid she will have to recuperate in Hexi Palace for a few days, at least We have to wait until she wakes up before we can move her body, otherwise the wound will burst and there will be secondary bleeding, and death will still be inevitable."
Let a murderous pervert live here, Jiang Xinyue would rather she die.
She couldn't be moved. In the next few days, Jiang Xinyue would have to take turns to stand guard with both eyes while sleeping, otherwise she would not know how she would die.
Emperor Xuanwu noticed her fear and said to Magpie and Shuangjiang: "What are you doing standing still? Your master doesn't like living with others, go and clean up. Your master is staying with me in Chengqian Palace these days."
Everyone around them stared with wide eyes, but Wang Dequan and Tang Shiliang both looked accustomed to it, and it was impossible for them to jump out and remind the emperor: This is against the rules.
In this palace, the emperor's will is the rule, and his favor is the rule.
Tang Shiliang is already Jiang Xinyue's man. The more the emperor favors him, the happier he will be. Where can he go to persuade him?
Wang Dequan... although it was not a surrender in the complete sense, if he were asked to choose a queen in the harem who suited his own needs, it would be Jiang Xinyue.
Not for anything else, just because she is the only master who treats the palace maids and eunuchs as human beings. She is not the kind who pretend to be pretentious, but sincere.
Just look at the eunuchs and maids in Hexi Palace and you will know that each one has his own personality and is unreservedly loyal to his master.
They are not those lifeless, cautious and low-level palace people in other palaces who are afraid of being killed if they do something wrong.
When Shuangjiang and Magpie heard this, they were so happy that they almost laughed out loud. Unfortunately, the scene was inappropriate, so they held it back.
"Your Majesty, why don't you let your concubine Jiang come and stay with me for a few days?"
If Concubine De was left here, her confidants would follow her to Chengqian Palace. She was worried, and she couldn't tell if something else was left here.
Concubine De can make poison, and concubine Jiang Gui can make incense.
Jiang Guifei, who is extremely sensitive to smells and can distinguish different smells in the air, can just restrain De Fei.
Jiang Xinyue raised her head and looked at the emperor: "The emperor needs to fill in the lotus pond in front of the Xihe Hall, and also remodel the layout of the Xihe Hall. It will also take time to change it to another name. Jiang Guifei's sudden move to the palace must be If you don’t have time to prepare, let me stay with my concubine for a few days. When her luggage is moved to Jingren Palace, it won’t be too late for her to go there.”
As for when the luggage will be moved, it depends on when Concubine De leaves.
The emperor's eyes flashed slightly: "Then send someone to Xihe Palace to inform you, make Jiang Guifei your concubine, give her a title, and grant her residence in Jingren Palace."
From today on, Concubine Jiang Gui is Concubine Wen.
Jingren Palace has always been reserved for concubines. In the past, when the Queen Mother was still there, Concubine Shu and Concubine Rong were both of extremely high status and could live in Jingren Palace.
The emperor naturally understood that Jiang Xinyue was asking for a reward for Concubine Wen, but it was just a concubine. The Jiang family had also contributed a lot to the Guangdong and Guangxi corruption cases and the Yuzhou siege case during this period, so it was worthy to give Jiang Yuan a concubine.
