At a few minutes before three quarters, the five eunuchs who had been ordered to bury Maid Jiang came over noisily and complained all the way. As soon as they stepped in the door, they saw four women lying on the ground. One of them was particularly gorgeous in clothes, like

The master is the empress, and the other three are like maids-in-waiting.

Two candles on the long table are burning and emitting a faint light, a big word "Dian" is hung on the wall, a coffin is parked in the middle, and the ashes of paper money are smoking in the brazier. This scene is very scary no matter how you look at it.

, especially when it’s still a dark night outside.

Several people blocked the door, trembling uncontrollably and pushing each other, "What should I do? Could it be a fake corpse?" Upon hearing the word fake corpse, several people were so frightened that they stepped back.

At this time, a particularly thin eunuch came out and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Let's do things quickly. Sooner or later it will be our business. If we miss the time and really cause a big problem, our lives will be in danger."

I can’t keep it anymore.”

It was a matter of life and death. The other four people cheered up after hearing this. Someone else asked in a low voice: "What should I do with them?"

"What else can we do? Send one person to report to Eunuch Man, and the rest will take care of things." The eunuch who spoke just now said again.

"Then I'll report it to Eunuch Man," "I'll go," "It's my turn," the four of them started arguing again.

The eunuch coughed and said eloquently, "It's really stupid to say that you are stupid. One master, his wife and three maids are unconscious here, and their lives and deaths are unknown. You think that you will get credit for reporting the letter. You may be implicated in the interrogation. You

Whoever has lived enough can go, I'm going in." He said, without any fear, he walked into the house without any fear.

The remaining four people looked at me, and I looked at you, and suddenly they crowded in, and a younger one was pushed out, "You, go and report to Eunuch Man, we will do something about it right now."

The little eunuch had no choice but to run away crying.

The four people came to the coffin, bowed three times in a formal manner, and muttered something. Then they approached together. Suddenly, someone mysteriously said: "Tell me, is there no body in this coffin at all?"

?”

Several people looked at each other, their curiosity was strangely aroused. Regardless of their fear, they secretly opened the coffin lid, and a rich aroma floated up. Several people sneezed several times, and someone was heard exclaiming:

"My mother, this woman is so beautiful. She looks so white and rosy, as if she is asleep."

"Go, go, go, the dog's mouth can't spit out ivory, what nonsense are you talking about?" Another person pouted loudly, "Let's go quickly, don't waste the time."

A few people closed the lid of the coffin and pushed the wooden cart out. The guards guarding the back door had already known about this and thought that the dead body was unlucky, so they didn't bother to take a look at it and hurriedly sent them away.

After about a stick of incense, Eunuch Man hurried over with his people. When he saw Concubine Shu Gui lying on the ground, he immediately stamped his feet anxiously and hit the little eunuch who reported the news several times on the head, "

You little bastard, why don’t you quickly help Concubine Shu up and commit suicide?”

Before he finished speaking, Leng Buding glanced at the other person lying on the ground, rushed forward, and personally pulled her up, "Aunt Yao Xi, wake up, wake up!"

Looking around again, the two people lying on the ground were Zi Wen, the maid of Concubine Shu, and the other lying in front of the brazier. She should be the maid of the dead Concubine Jiang. He remembered that before the emperor transferred Yao Xi to serve Concubine Li.

I told you to follow Concubine Li every step of the way. This time, this time is good.

He was about to stand up, but his knees weakened and he almost fell down, but the eunuch behind him had quick eyesight and quick hands and grabbed him, "Eunuch Man, what's wrong with you?"

"Quick, help me up," he said, standing still, "You guys keep it, I'll report it to the emperor," and then he ran away, walking as fast as flying, disappearing into the night.

In the Mingyang Palace, Chong Mozheng and Chong Yu discussed political affairs together, thinking about whether to send trusted people to stay in Jiangnan to supervise the officials in Jiangnan.

Man Sheng almost rushed in and shouted: "When I return to the emperor, Concubine Li is missing."

Chong Mo stood up quickly and stepped in front of him, "Tell me, what happened?!"

Mansheng ran out of breath and said while holding his breath: "Yao Xi passed out in the room where Maid Jiang was buried. She was unconscious and there was no trace of Concubine Li around."

The veins in Chong Mo's fisted hands were trembling, and his eyes seemed to be filled with ice, "Where is Cuizhuju, is she in the room?"

As soon as he finished speaking, another eunuch hurried over outside, panting, "Go back, back to the emperor, slave, slave, I have been to Cuizhu Residence. Concubine Li, no, is not in the house."

The veins on Zhong Mo's forehead were pulsing, and a pair of purple eyes glowed strangely red, so bright that they almost burst out. He looked up to the sky and roared with sadness and anger: "Jing Su, it's useless for me to treat you like this, and you still want to run away!"

He roared like a wounded beast, neighing helplessly.

Zhong Yu was shocked by his appearance. He was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses. He stepped forward and advised: "Brother, please don't mess up your position. Concubine Li may have been kidnapped by an adulterer."

His words made Chong Mo suddenly quiet down. He glanced at him and immediately ordered, "Chu Xiao, go and check all the sentry posts. If someone sees a stranger breaking in or Concubine Li going out, I will go to that yard to check."

"

"Brother, I will go with you." Chong Yu said quickly.

"Walk."

The two of them performed Qing Kung Fu, and within a short time they arrived at the courtyard behind the hotel. The fainted people had been helped to sit on chairs nearby, and several eunuchs were guarding them inside and outside.

The two of them rushed into the house like a gust of wind, and each looked around. It was already a dilapidated courtyard, with dust everywhere. There was no need to search in particular, just looking at the intact dust. Apart from this,

It was in the main hall, and no one stayed in the nearby areas.

Concubine Li, she is really missing.

Chu Xiao quickly rushed to reply, "My subordinates have inquired at the sentry posts of each gate, and no one has come in or out, except for the coffin of the maid Jiang."

It was a coincidence that Man Sheng arrived in a hurry. Hearing this, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. It is my servant who will move Maid Jiang's body to the hotel for burial at three o'clock tonight."

"Well," Chong Mo responded, "Chu Xiao, please continue to lead people to search everywhere in the hotel. Be sure to find out if Concubine Li is there."

"Yes," Chu Xiao took the order and disappeared.

Chong Mo forced himself to calm down, his eyes scanning around like a falcon.

Zhong Yu came to Yao Xi, felt her pulse, took out a porcelain bottle from his clothes, unscrewed the cork, and put it under her nose. Yao Xi let out a cry, woke up quietly, rubbed her forehead, and asked
