The lady of Chongxi has supernatural powers and is favored by the powerful official

The emperor also thought about it, and agreed with Nangong Yu's suggestion, and asked Eunuch Wang to go there personally with a few imperial guards.

Minister Hua and others felt that this approach was a better solution and it eased the situation somewhat.

But they didn't know that the Seventh Prince's Mansion couldn't be investigated. That's why Concubine Xu was kneeling outside.

Concubine Xu knelt there, watching Eunuch Wang and a few unfamiliar men in black come out of the imperial study, and then go straight out of the palace.

Concubine Xu's eyes turned cold. She had lived in the palace for decades, so she naturally knew who these people were.

These people are called the Imperial Guards, but they are actually the royal secret guards. Among these people, only a small number of them show their faces in public. For most of them, you wouldn’t recognize them even if they walked on the street.

Eunuch Wang is leaving the palace with these imperial guards, and they are definitely heading for the Seventh Prince's Palace.

Concubine Xu's face changed and she immediately made two gestures to a maid behind her.

The nanny quietly withdrew from the crowd on their side, but did not leave the palace. Instead, she walked into the palace.

The nanny went straight into the harem and quickly went to the imperial kitchen, where she found a young eunuch who was in charge of the fire. She whispered a few words to the eunuch, and the eunuch went out through the back door of the palace in a roundabout way.

The main reason he was able to go out was that he usually helped Old Zhang, who dealt with the swill in the palace, push and pull the swill cart.

The soldiers guarding the gate also recognized him and thought he was just a little eunuch, so they didn't care much about it.

The young eunuch walked stealthily along the road behind the palace, turned into several alleys, and then arrived at the back door of the Seventh Prince's mansion as if he was familiar with the route.

However, if he usually came to the Seventh Prince's Mansion to deliver a message, he only had to knock on the door three times and someone would answer him from inside. He would also have to exchange a secret signal before they would let him in.

But today was a bit strange. There was no response when I knocked on the door and no one came.

The young eunuch was very anxious. He pushed the door twice, but it didn't move. He looked at the wall and it seemed too high. He couldn't climb in by himself.

In a panic, he shouted a few times, but no one paid any attention to him.

The young eunuch did not give up. He looked around and saw that there was no one else around, so he took out a dagger from his bosom and gently pulled the bolt out through the crack in the door.

I don’t know if he was familiar with this operation or he was lucky, but he actually managed to open the door.

The young eunuch gently pushed the door open, and when he saw what was behind the door, his pupils shuddered and he was so frightened that he almost fainted.

The two old women he knew and the two servants were all dead on the ground behind the door, lying there with their blood congealed.

The young eunuch crawled out from behind the door, he had already lost his composure due to fright. This alley leads to the main street and the main gate of the Seventh Prince's Mansion.

The young eunuch ran towards the street screaming that he had committed murder.

The troops waiting in front of the Seventh Prince's Mansion and the newly arrived Eunuch Wang all heard the words "murder". When Eunuch Wang saw the man running over and shouting "murder", he immediately felt something was wrong.

With a move of his hand, a guard stepped forward and grabbed the young eunuch. He also looked in the alley behind the young eunuch, but there was no one there.

"What are you yelling about!"

The young eunuch's face was pale, his eyes were still a little dazed, and he was frightened and still shouting:

"Kill someone, kill someone!"

Eunuch Wang stepped forward with a gloomy face and shouted in a low voice:

"Nonsense, what nonsense are you talking about on the street, be careful or I'll pull out your tongue."

The young eunuch naturally recognized Eunuch Wang, their chief steward and the highest commander.

The young eunuch immediately looked at Eunuch Wang, struggled to break free from the guards, knelt in front of Eunuch Wang, and said in a trembling voice:

"In the Seventh Prince's Mansion, there are dead people. All dead people!"

Eunuch Wang was startled and looked at the alley from which the young eunuch came out. He knew that there was a back door to the Seventh Prince's Mansion here. He even knew that this young eunuch often came to the Seventh Prince's Mansion.

He immediately asked two guards to guard the back door and another two to guard the main door. He and another guard, along with the young eunuch, immediately returned to the palace without saying anything else.

The three groups of people in front of the Seventh Prince's Mansion were also stunned.

Could it be that someone really died in the Seventh Prince’s Mansion?

The people in Duke Qin's mansion immediately asked their family members to go back and inform Duke Qin of the news. Regardless of whether it was true or false, they had to make some preparations.

Another group of people, members of the royal family, also immediately went to report the news to Liang Xuanwen.

I heard someone was killed, and then I thought about the palace that couldn't be opened. Normally, there should be a servant to deal with it.

But there was no smell. Then someone sniffed hard and there seemed to be the smell of blood in the air.

Don’t mention it, once someone mentions it, others will also pay attention and it seems to be true.

Then, everyone's expressions froze.

Especially since two guards were guarding the gate, no one else dared to get close.

In the imperial study, all the adults began to discuss some things about next spring.

They thought that all Eunuch Wang needed to do was go out and bring the person back.

No one cared about Concubine Xu, but she was now in a dilemma. She was kneeling here and no one paid any attention to her, and she couldn't leave yet.

Now Concubine Xu's face was a little distorted.

While she was thinking of ways to see the emperor, she saw Eunuch Wang and a guard entering the imperial study at a speed faster than ordinary people.

They were also holding a person in their hands, a young eunuch. The face of the nanny following Concubine Xu changed:

"My lady, that is the small hall, that is the eunuch I went to look for just now."

Concubine Xu's eyes turned cold. The person she had sent to report the incident had been arrested by the emperor's men. It seemed that this matter would not end well.

Concubine Xu thought for a moment, called the nanny over, and whispered a few words to her.

After understanding, Mammy replied worriedly:

"My lady, I'm afraid it's a mess over there too."

"Don't worry, just send someone to pass the message."

"Yes."

Just as the nanny was about to get up, she saw the door of the imperial study wide open, and Nangong Yu came in with Eunuch Wang with a cold expression, while a dozen other guards were called out from the other side.

Then, Commander He also asked people to call the Imperial Guards out of the palace.

This situation is not right!

Concubine Xu felt that something had happened.

What a big deal!

Eunuch Wang first took the guards out but failed to deal with it, then came back to ask for reinforcements, and now the Imperial Guards have also gone. Nangong Yu has always represented the emperor's opinion, so Nangong Yu also went.

And they all looked unhappy.

Concubine Xu's face changed again and again, and her hands clenched tightly. She didn't even feel the pain when her fingernails dug into the flesh!

"Could it be that the emperor is acting out again and is going against the guards?"

All Concubine Xu could think of was her son who was a little rebellious. She was afraid that he would not give face to the Emperor again, which would be troublesome.

Concubine Xu is still waiting, waiting for news. No matter what, she is kneeling again. This is a question of a submissive attitude. If something happens to her son, her attitude is here, so she can ask for help.
