Drunk House Chapter 240

Chapter 240 Lost (Second Update)

Eunuch Yu is worthy of being the chief **** of the emperor. After a while, he came back with the booklet.

He spread out one of the pages and pointed it to the emperor, "Your Majesty, look, this is the original booklet, with the pattern drawn by the imperial painter, exactly the same as this comb."

The emperor could see clearly, his face was gloomy, and he ordered, "Come here, invite Concubine Li." After finishing speaking, he changed his words, "Yu An, bring someone to invite you in person, and don't leak the news."

"Yes." Eunuch Yu felt a "thump" in his heart, and turned around immediately.

The emperor looked at Zhou Gu and He Zheng. In such a short time, the two of them were stained red with a large amount of blood again. He suppressed the anger in his heart and ordered: "Come here, go and invite the imperial physician."

Zhou Gu thought to himself that His Majesty finally remembered to call them a doctor, but it was really not easy.

The imperial physician came almost at the same time as Eunuch Yu and Concubine Li. The emperor ordered Concubine Li to wait, and invited the imperial physician in first to bandage Zhou Gu and He Zheng.

Seeing the wound on Zhou Gu's back, the imperial physician gasped, frowned, and exclaimed, "Master Zhou, how did you get hurt? This, this wound is too deep, and this is too serious..."

Zhou Gu didn't speak.

The imperial physician took a closer look at the wound, "Fortunately, there was a simple bandage, and the medicine applied here is also the best medicine for golden sores. Otherwise, it would be fatal to lose so much blood from this wound."

Zhou Gu remained silent.

The imperial doctor bandaged Zhou Gu's back, then bandaged his arm, Xu Xu said: "The wound on this arm is more serious than the wound on your back. You should take care of this wound carefully. Don't move around. Don't let the wound open again. Don't get wet. Especially since you've lost so much blood, you have to go home to take care of it. Be careful not to get hot at night. If you have a fever, it's very dangerous."

Zhou Gu finally reacted a bit, "Yes", "I'm sorry to trouble Dr. Xu."

Imperial Physician Xu glanced at him, and then told him worriedly: "If you have a fever at night, send someone to call me immediately."

After finishing speaking, he went to bandage He Zheng again. Although there were many wounds on He Zheng's body, only a sword wound on the side of his waist was slightly more serious. Doctor Xu didn't watch He Zheng grow up, so he didn't say anything.

He Zheng was very guilty in his heart, the wound on Zhou Gu's back was because he saved him, and he couldn't avoid being hurt by others.

The emperor didn't avoid it, and watched from the sidelines. The wound on Zhou Gu's body was serious, and he couldn't help frowning because of the deep wound. After Doctor Xu finished bandaging him, he said to Zhou Gu: "Zhou Gu, you should go back to your home to recuperate. Go back now. This case, I..."

Zhou Gu looked at the emperor.

The emperor paused, "I will try it myself."

Zhou Gu also knew that the investigation of Concubine Li involved the four emperors, sons, mothers and concubines. Even if he was not injured, the emperor would probably not let him investigate. After all, he is now a member of the East Palace.

He nodded, "After all, I brought the evidence into the palace. Your Majesty asked Concubine Li, do I need to sit in? Let's hear what Concubine Li has to say. If you have any questions about me, I can answer them in time, and I will go back later."

He didn't hold on to the case persistently, saying he was just listening, and left in a while.

The emperor was satisfied with his understanding of current affairs, nodded, and told Eunuch Yu, "Yu An, call Concubine Li in."

Eunuch Yu should be, so he went out and invited Concubine Li to come in.

Concubine Li was bestowed the title Li by the emperor because of her bright appearance. There are four princes and ten princesses under her knees, one son and one daughter.

She was urgently summoned by the emperor, and the emperor sent Yu An to invite her in person, and when inviting her, he took people to seal her Palace of Beauty. She was not allowed to bring any maids and eunuchs, but she was invited here alone. Anyone who has lived in the palace for a long time knows that something has happened.

The emperor yelled directly, "Concubine Li, how dare you let someone raise a dead soldier privately? What should you do?"

Concubine Li opened her eyes wide in shock, "Why did Your Majesty say that?"

Her eyes were wide open, with a face full of inexplicability, "When will the concubine let someone raise a dead man privately?"

The emperor looked angry and said in a deep tone, "Do you dare to say that you don't have one? How dare you argue?"

Concubine Li knelt on the ground with a "plop", "Your Majesty, my concubine would never dare to raise a dead man. This concubine has been keeping herself safe all these years. How could my concubine... raise a dead man? My concubine has no money to support a dead man."

She tactfully found the most reasonable reason for herself, "Your Majesty, you know the concubine, the concubine's mother's family is not rich, and there is a prodigal younger brother in the family..."

"Where is the fourth prince? I know that he secretly lets people manage his private property, but he can get the money to feed the dead." The emperor asked.

Concubine Li turned pale, "Your Majesty, Rui'er is only fifteen..."

The emperor snorted coldly, "You are not young at fifteen, you can do anything at the age of seven or eight." He threw the comb on the table to her, "Recognize it yourself, this is your thing?"

Concubine Li was hit head-on by a comb, and the skin on her forehead was instantly torn, but she didn't dare to cry out in a low voice, she just flinched, and caught the comb with a pale face. Seeing this, her face became even paler, "Your Majesty, where did this comb come from?"

"I just want to ask you, is this the comb I once gave you as a reward?" the emperor asked.

Concubine Li nodded, "This, this comb was given to my concubine by you." But she had something to say, "But this comb was lost by my concubine four or five years ago."

The emperor said "Huh?" and asked with a sullen face, "Lost?"

Concubine Li nodded quickly, "Your Majesty, everyone in the concubine's palace can testify. Just four or five years ago, the concubine couldn't find this comb anywhere. I don't know if it was stolen by some slave. The concubine even sent someone to find it, and it was also registered. After all, it is a thing in the palace, and it is also a book. You gave it to the concubine. It is equivalent to writing the concubine's name. How can the concubine not take good care of it? How could she let her go out at will?"

The emperor looked at Eunuch Yu again after hearing the words, "Yu An?"

Eunuch Yu hurriedly said: "This old slave will go and investigate."

Items lost in the palace also need to be reported and recorded. He doesn't remember that Concubine Li made a record, but there was a time when things were always lost in the palace. Later, it was found that they were stolen by the palace people and sold, and many concubines had lost items. As the chief eunuch, he only remembered things related to His Majesty most of the time. As for the concubines, there were so many, how could he remember them? He can have an impression of the things given by the emperor, but he doesn't know how to use the concubines and whether they lost them, let alone such a small comb, he can remember the origin well.

He turned around and ran out. After walking a few steps, he ran back again and confirmed with Concubine Li, "Miss Li Concubine, think about it carefully. Is it four years ago or five years ago? The old slave can easily check the exact date."

Concubine Li thought for a while, and reported the date, "It was about four and a half years ago. I can't remember the exact date. Anyway, I haven't found it."

Eunuch Yu nodded and hurried away again.

The emperor didn't let Concubine Li get up, but made her kneel like that.

Eunuch Yu was very efficient, and not long after, he came back with a layer of booklets, pointed to one of the pages and said, "Your Majesty, Madam Li is right. Four and a half years ago, this old servant found out."

The emperor looked down, and sure enough, the recorded imperial peach blossom comb was exactly the same as the rubbing of the book made at that time, and it was exactly this comb.

The emperor took a deep breath, and looked at Concubine Li, "Concubine Li, do you know that this comb of yours was found on the body of the dead today? Hundreds of dead men have killed Zhou Gu, and only this peach blossom comb is on you."

Concubine Li finally understood, and immediately shouted for injustice with a pale face, and her voice was filled with tears, "Your Majesty, the concubine was wronged. This matter has nothing to do with the concubine. The concubine can swear that if the concubine feeds the dead, I will let the concubine die badly."

Feeding the dead, how can this be something that concubines in the harem can do? Not to mention the concubines in the harem, even the courtiers have to break their guts to dare. What's more, there are hundreds of dead soldiers, and they even intercepted and killed the young master of the Duke Huguo's mansion? She knew what would happen to her if the emperor arbitrarily convicted her.

The emperor said with a sullen face: "Is this all you can say? Is there anything else to say? If so, tell me, think carefully!"

Concubine Li seemed to think hard for a while, then shook her head, "Your Majesty, I don't know how this comb is related to the dead man. I really lost this comb... Your Majesty, please look into it."

The emperor sullenly said, "I will find out, you, the people in your palace, your natal family, and the fourth prince."

After finishing speaking, the emperor ordered, "Yu An, take Li Concubine into custody alone, and you personally take people to Li Concubine's Palace, and check everyone in Li Ren Palace one by one."

Eunuch Yu should be, stepped forward and said: "Miss Li, please."

Concubine Li stood up with a pale face, said goodbye, and was taken away by Eunuch Yu.

After she left, the emperor looked at Zhou Gu, then at He Zheng, "You two, go back to recover from your injuries. This case..." The emperor felt that it was very tricky, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to investigate. He said that he would try it himself, but he was just intervening in person. There must be a trustworthy person to investigate for him. She turned to look at King Ryan.

King Rui'an was shocked, and quickly declined, "Your Majesty, I have a big case in my hands, and I haven't investigated it yet."

This case, involving concubines and princes, is a hot potato, and he doesn't want to take it.

I haven't experienced coding in the sound of firecrackers for several years!

Happy new year, everything goes well!

At the beginning of the new year, my dears, don't keep your monthly pass~ I love you~
