Chapter 524 Finding a needle in a haystack
Su Yue and the others finally understood after listening to the abbot's words.
The emperor said with a gloomy face: "Thank you, Master. Then I will send someone to escort you back to Xiangguo Temple."
The presiding master said: "The poor monk will go back and draw the magic spell."
Then the three of them walked with Su Yue and left the Xihe Palace.
The presiding master was so skilled in martial arts that he did not need to be escorted. The emperor only sent a young eunuch to escort him out of the palace.
"Father, it's so late now and you haven't had dinner yet. I'll send you back for dinner right now. I'll let you two check out the affairs of the concubine here."
After the abbot master left, Murong Li said to the emperor.
The emperor had been busy for a day and was really hungry. He nodded: "Yes, you must find the person who practices witchcraft for me, and I will stretch his muscles and skin him."
"Father, don't worry, I will definitely catch that person and hand him over to you."
Murong Li knew that the emperor would definitely interrogate him personally. He wanted to know the origin of the witchcraft and dig out the people behind it.
The emperor cherishes his life the most and will not leave such a hidden danger.
The emperor glanced at Concubine Yun who was in a coma, and then left with satisfaction.
Su Yue looked at the emperor who was leaving and shook her head. The emperor was worried about his own safety in everything he said, and he never said anything about Concubine Yun or the two of them.
They say that true love appears in trouble, and it's true.
Murong Li saw Su Yue patting her in a daze: "Yue'er, let's have dinner first, and then we'll talk about it."
Su Yue nodded: "Okay."
Anyway, they won't be able to catch the murderer for a while, and the master in charge won't be able to send the magic spell for a while, so they should eat their food first and wait.
So Murong Li asked Nanny Chen to pass on the meal.
While waiting for the meal, Murong Li called Nanny Chen and all the other palace people to the main hall. He asked: "Nanny Chen, are you my mother-in-law's personal nanny? What is my mother-in-law's personal belongings or something on my body?"
Has anyone taken away the fallen things, such as hair, nails, etc., or has anyone been to Xihe Palace?"
Concubine Yun is not a queen, so the concubines in the palace do not have to pay her respects. If anything comes to her, Grandma Chen and others will handle it for her.
Concubine Yun had a cold temperament and did not like to interact with others. Except for people from Xi Palace and their husbands who came to Xihe Palace, there were basically no other people in the palace.
So if you want to find out who took away Concubine Yun's personal belongings or hair, you have to start from inside Xihe Palace. Only people in Xihe Palace have the chance to get those things.
Although Nanny Chen did not stay in the dormitory, she was always guarding the door. She heard and understood the conversation between the emperor and the abbot in the palace.
So she thought in her mind about who had come to the palace during this period, and who from the palace had come to personally serve Concubine Yun.
But after thinking for a long time, she couldn't think of anything unusual.
She has always been serving her personally, and the palace servants only come to help with chores. The palace maid who combs Concubine Yun's hair is one of their own, and she never comes into contact with outsiders.
There was no need to throw away Concubine Yun's personal accessories.
As for Concubine Yun's blood, it is even more impossible to obtain.
Concubine Yun has never been injured. She cleans the menstrual belt herself without any artificial hands.
As for hair and nails, hair is hard to control, and you can’t control this either.
Concubine Yun had to comb her hair every day, and her hair also fell out, which was then disposed of with the garbage.
If someone wants to take Concubine Yun's hair, it's easy to do so.
So Grandma Chen said truthfully: "Back to your lord, the imperial concubine has always been served by slaves, even for food. No one can get into her body, and no one can get her personal belongings. Only her hair is a slave."
Not guaranteed.”
Murong Li and Su Yue listened to what Nanny Chen said, and it was pretty much what they expected. With the personalities of Nanny Chen and Concubine Yun, they were very cautious in everything they did and would never leave their personal matters to others.
This is to prevent someone from poisoning her.
The palace is a battlefield without gunpowder, and it is most cruel. If you don't pay attention, you will be doomed.
Even so, Murong Li still asked other eunuchs and maids in the palace, but did not get any useful clues.
Xihe Palace is like a copper wall. Outsiders cannot enter without permission, and it is also difficult for people in the palace to do what they want to do.
Because he also sent secret guards to protect Xihe Palace.
The reason for interrogating the palace officials in this way is to give the palace officials a slap in the face and prevent them from having any thoughts.
After asking, the meal was delivered from the imperial kitchen. After the two had dinner, they waited for the abbot in the palace.
"Murong Li, it's hard to find out if we check like this. We have to find another way."
Regarding what Grandma Chen said just now, only Concubine Yun's hair is not guaranteed. It shouldn't be too easy to get her hair.
Although it is easy to get the hair, it is a bit difficult to get it into Yun Fei's stomach.
Xihe Palace has a small kitchen, and all food entering the palace comes from the imperial dining room.
But the food is all raw, packed and delivered in bundles one by one. These are all washed before cooking. How can you do witchcraft?
Therefore, Concubine Yun's witchcraft should not have been practiced in Xihe Palace, but should have been practiced outside the palace.
And Concubine Yun rarely leaves the palace, and is now in a coma. Their clueless search in the palace is equivalent to finding a needle in a haystack.
Murong Li nodded. He also had a headache and couldn't think of any way to find out.
The two of them sighed, both thinking about something, but Su Yue simply put aside her mental energy to see how the guards were doing with their investigation.
At this time, in Huayang Palace, the commander of the personal guards found this place, and the personal guards immediately knocked on the palace door.
Concubine Lin in the palace waited all night, thinking that she would not be found tonight.
She didn't go to bed until very late, but as soon as she lay down, she heard the palace maid calling: "Your Majesty, the guards are here."
If the personal guard is looking for something in the harem, the entire harem will know about it.
When Concubine Lin heard this, she was so startled that she turned over and got up. But when she got up, she realized that she was still pregnant, so her movements slowed down.
"Hurry and help me get dressed."
Lin Bin quickly asked the palace maid to help her get up and put on her clothes, and then came to the main hall.
At this time, all the personal guards have come in, and the commander of the personal guards stepped forward and saluted: "General, I will meet with Concubine Lin. In compliance with the emperor's order, I will come to look for something. Please cooperate with me."
Lin Bin pursed her lips: "Then you go look for it."
Concubine Lin was very cooperative, but she thought in her heart that if they could find it, there would be a ghost. That thing had already entered Concubine Yun's belly, and they would not be able to find it even if they tried to find it.
The commander of the personal guards bowed his hand to her and waved his hand: "Look for it quickly, don't touch your things."
The guards nodded. They were experienced and immediately searched around the palace.
I just searched every corner of Huayang Palace and found nothing.
