Chapter 92 Six Arts Building
After night came, the North Palace fell into darkness earlier than any other palace.
Before the palace door was locked, most of the palace rooms here were closed.
Including Qing'an Temple where Wise Concubine Lin lives.
After more than half an hour, suddenly the palace gate in the corner was pushed open by a gap. A figure in a cloak squeezed out quietly along the door.
She looked around nervously, making sure that there was no one nearby, and immediately picked up the corner of the skirt and ran towards the deep back garden.
In the Beginning-of-Creation Palace, Qin Nuo is reviewing the memorial. After a while, Lee Maru came in with a smile on his face, and reported in a low voice: "The emperor, the former concubine has gone out, and is heading towards the Sixth Art Building in the front courtyard."
Qin Nuo put down the pen and snorted coldly.
It turned out to be this woman. He didn’t know much about Wise Concubine Lin. He only remembered that this was a daughter from a small official family. Fortunately, she gave birth to a prince. The only mother was expensive with her son. From a last concubine all the way to four One of the concubine. Originally, after Qin Cong's death, as a former concubine, she was supposed to live in Beigong, but she did not expect to have such a thought.
"Continue to stare at people. I will go over and take a look later." Qin Nuo really hated this woman.
No matter what purpose she stole the talisman paper. The Imperial Medicine Court's solution study was related to the stability of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the lives of thousands of people, but because of her alone, it was delayed for two full days! It is impossible to atone for crimes by simply copying and exterminating the family!
I'm not in the mood to review the memorial. Qin Nuo simply got up, took Lee Maru and a few attendants, and went straight to the Liuyi Building.
He wants to see who is secretly colluding with Wise Concubine Lin!
With Wise Concubine Lin's ability, even if he has the guts and courage, he does not have the ability to be a thief. Can steal the talisman paper in a short time. The court lady eunuch next to her had been thoroughly investigated by the Criminal Ministry before, and there was no one who knew martial arts. The success of stealing the talisman paper indicates that someone in the Imperial Medicine Court must have colluded with her.
Qin Nuo hated this person even more for the guard to steal.
Qin Nuo took Lee Maru and several eunuchs and guards to the Six Arts Building.
Liuyi Building is not far from Feifeng Court and is also on the edge of Xiyue Lake. This was originally the library of the inner palace. Later, due to a fire, most of the library was burned. Although Emperor Jingyao ordered to rebuild, the library in the inner palace has not been restored, so it is considered a free attic. The neighborhood is very quiet, only two or three palace officials are responsible for regular cleaning.
This is next to the Imperial Medicine Court. No wonder Wise Concubine Lin chose to meet here.
Qin Nuo hurried with people, the door was open. Keeping a few guards guarding the door to prevent escape, Qin Nuo led Lee Maru into the house.
However, after entering the door, Wise Concubine Lin and the collusion object were not in the main hall.
Standing in the middle of the hall, Qin Nuo frowned. Where did you go?
Suddenly there was a small moan and moan in my ear.
This voice...
Qin Nuo gave a shock.
This sound is so weird, if Ren Jinglei or Pei Tuo were here, they would definitely scream, the scene is so familiar!
In the dark attic and empty room, weird moans and groans were heard beside them, as if they were filled with joy, pleasure, and pain.
Because Qin Nuo is practising martial arts, he has good ears and eyes, but Lee Maru and others around him are not familiar with martial arts, so they don't notice.
Lee Maru carefully checked the footprints on the ground and immediately whispered, "It should be here." He walked quickly to the left room.
Perhaps he was surprised by his low voice, and the moaning and groaning in the room suddenly stopped.
Then suddenly a harsh cracking sound sounded, as if something was broken abruptly! Immediately afterwards, a woman screamed sternly. Then there was a loud "plop", what heavy things fell into the water?
This series of weird sounds shocked everyone in the hall.
Several eunuchs immediately rushed to the emperor's side to make a protective form.
Lee Maru was still brave, yelled at the room where the sound was made, "Who!" and kicked the room open.
Then, Qin Nuo was dumbfounded, everyone was dumbfounded.
There is a recliner in the room with a woman lying on it, her pink, shoulder half, exposed, green silk scattered, her beautiful face carries a lovely charm, and the half-covered long tui floats with seductive luster. It is Wise Concubine Lin.
She opened her eyes wide, full of panic and shame, looking at everyone, after seeing Qin Nuo's face clearly, her bright eyes quickly turned into despair.
Qin Nuo is messed up in the wind...
He thought he would be able to break a corruption case today, but he never expected to get on a subway bound for Spring and Heaven!
According to common sense, most of the people Wise Concubine Lin bought were from the Imperial Medicine Court, perhaps an apprentice, or a medical officer, who couldn't stand the temptation of money offensive and colluded with Wise Concubine Lin to steal things.
The meeting place was arranged at Liuyi Building next to the Imperial Medicine Court, which further verified this guess.
But what is going on in this posture? Don't tell him that Wise Concubine Lin not only spent money for a few talisman papers, he even got into it!
This is not for later generations. Most derailed families are broken up. This situation of Wise Concubine Lin is life-threatening!
No matter what the reason is to steal the talisman, it is nothing more than to save your life! In order to save your life, but you have to use the means to lose your life?
Or the two of them had an adulterous affair, and that person couldn't stand Wise Concubine Lin's pleading, and stole himself?
The window is open, and it sways with the wind. The other person in this room just jumped out of the window after hearing the sound of Qin Nuo and the others coming in.
The adulterer reacted very quickly and left Wise Concubine Lin here alone.
Lee Maru and several other inmates were dumbfounded.
There was silence in the room for a while, Qin Nuo turned his head. Not wanting to watch this dazzling scene more, simply instructed, "Go down and take a look."
Lee Maru and others immediately woke up like a dream, caught the thief, caught the gangster, the adulterer was still downstairs!
In the blink of an eye, you scrambled for me, and several eunuchs rushed out.
Is this fear of being silenced? Qin Nuo's expression was hard to say.
A light fragrance floated from the room. It is the cool breeze blowing in from the open window.
Being blown by the wind, suddenly a stack of fluttering papers floated from the table.
Lee Maru's eyes were sharp, and he immediately shouted, "Isn't this the talisman paper lost by the Imperial Medicine Court?"
The talisman is really in the hands of this woman!
Qin Nuo glanced at the pieces of paper flying in the air, and indifferently ordered, "Pack things up. Then go to the Imperial Medicine Court and ask Mei Jing to come to Beginning-of-Creation Palace."
Lee Maru responded, not daring to look at the people in the room, lowered his head and slipped in close to the corner, bending down quickly to pick up the paper that had fallen on the floor.
Qin Nuo turned around. He didn't want to stay here for a moment.
At this time, Wise Concubine Lin in the room seemed to suddenly wake up. She suddenly jumped off the soft couch.
She took three steps and two steps before rushing to stop Qin Nuo.
Kneeling on the cold floor, she was panicked, "The emperor, it's not like that! I... slave maid..."
Wise Concubine Lin was born as a court lady before. By chance, he became the concubine of the East Palace, and went straight up again. At this moment, he was in a hurry and even said what he used to say.
"The servant girl really didn't mean it..." Wise Concubine Lin burst into tears.
"The maidservant was confused by the lard. Because my family was dying of the disease, I remembered to steal the rune paper. The maidservant didn't know that there were only these rune papers. The maidservant planned to return the rune paper back today. Yes." She said incoherently.
This Qin Nuo believed that he had deliberately let people release the news that the Imperial Medicine Court had developed a prescription, and the talisman paper was naturally useless.
"I've been to the Imperial Medicine Court before and wanted to ask for a few copies. When I was refused, I secretly faked the keys. That night I asked Yuqin to open them and took the things away."
Wise Concubine Lin sobbed and said. On the other side, Lee Maru had picked up everything, quickly counted it twice, and reported in a low voice: "The emperor, the number is wrong, there are two missing."
Wise Concubine Lin trembled and said in a low voice, "I took it."
Qin Nuo's forehead was blue, and he wouldn't bother to care about this woman if it wasn't for the talisman paper involved.
He raised his foot to leave, anyway, this kind of thing is naturally handled by the palace rules, there is no need for him to waste time here.
However, seeing him leaving, Wise Concubine Lin seemed desperate. She rushed up and hugged Qin Nuo's leg.
The refreshing scent lingers on the nose. Wise Concubine Lin's clothes are messy. After struggling, large areas of smooth muscle and skin are exposed on the back, and the delicate and moist touch is attached to the legs and on the back. Qin Nuo felt annoyed for a while, he lifted his foot to pull it out, unexpectedly Wise Concubine Lin hugged very tightly.
He got angry, simply increased his strength, and kicked the person away.
Then he said no more, and quickly left the hall.
Just stepping down the steps, a loud noise suddenly came from behind.
Turning his head and looking at it, it turned out that Wise Concubine Lin, in despair, simply slammed into the pillar.
Instant blood flowed across, limp on the ground, life and death unknown.
Qin Nuo is in a mixed mood, and Wise Concubine Lin is in his eyes, it is not a pity to die. Of course not because she steals people.
Qin Cong has passed away from illness. As a traveler, he does not have such a feudal concept of chastity.
But how many people outside are being tortured by the epidemic, it is better to die! She stole the talisman paper for the benefit of one person, which slowed down the Imperial Medicine Court's research. Think about how many people will die in one day? It's a sin worthy of death!
Even though I hate her to the extreme, it is still unacceptable to see a weak woman commit suicide in such a tragic way in front of her.
From behind, Lee Maru stared blankly.
Qin Nuo sighed and said, "Go to the Imperial Medicine Court and send the talisman paper, and by the way, call the imperial doctor."
***
Walking quickly back to Beginning-of-Creation Palace, Qin Nuo let the attendants help him take off his robe.
Huo Youjuan was waiting for news in the front hall, and when she saw him, her expression was extremely complicated.
"You already know?"
Huo Youjuan nodded, "Just now Chen Gui came back and reported to Father Xu, requesting the deployment of manpower. I am right next to him." Chen Gui was one of the little eunuchs who followed to the Six Arts Building just now.
After a pause, Huo Youjuan added, "Except for a few of us, no one knows about it anymore."
This kind of thing involves the palace scandal, and the emperor has not determined how to convict it.
Not long after, Xu Mincai came in and stopped talking.
Qin Nuo sneered and asked: "Can you find the person who jumped the window?"
Xu Mincai lowered his head and said, "I haven't found it yet."
This matter is too secret to be searched. Just now, my apprentice Chen Gui came in and asked for manpower support. He could only be shocked when the emperor saw a black shadow near the Six Arts Building and ordered a thorough investigation. In this name, he sent some manpower to search.
The surrounding terrain of Liuyi Building is complex, with trees and flowers, and it is also next to the lake. Trapezes and husbands running in are like swimming fish into the sea, and there is no trace at all. After the incident, the guards and eunuchs who followed Qin Nuo in fact rushed to search, and they didn't even see the shadow of the person.
Qin Nuo didn't speak, his face was dark and composed.
Not long after, Lee Maru came back and reported the news. The talisman had been sent back to the Imperial Medicine Court. The imperial doctor also went to urgently check the condition of Wise Concubine Lin, who was seriously injured but not dead. After the imperial physician gave the injection, Wise Concubine Lin has regained consciousness, but he seems to be stupid and can't remember things. Because of the ban within the palace, Lee Maru specially invited two elderly doctors to take care of the people in Liuyi Building. I hurried back to report it.
"The emperor, what do you think about this? Should you ask the former empress Shen, or should you report it to Cining Palace..."
Lee Maru didn't know what to do. Qin Nuo didn't have a harem, and internal affairs, especially the concubines of the first emperor, could only ask these two people to come forward.
If Wise Concubine Lin died directly, it would be fine. Now people are not dead, and of course this crime is unavoidable. She happened to be in this identity again.
Qin Nuo waved his hand impatiently: "Cining Palace is resting early this hour, don't pay attention to it, let's talk about it tomorrow."
Lee Maru and the others bowed back and stood in the corner.
Qin Nuo picked up the memorial on the table and looked at it, but felt impetuous.
He picked up the tea cup, took a sip, frowned and said, "It's too hot!"
The lady serving the tea was startled. The emperor rarely got angry at these trivial things, and now he even looked unhappy.
Huo Youjuan was also surprised, so she personally stepped forward and took the tea cup down to replace it.
In the tea stove room of the side hall, several court ladies are making tea,
"Huoshang Palace, or Longjing? The emperor is not tired of drinking? Change to Tieguanyin, this is a new tribute from Jiangxi Road." The female officer asked carefully.
Huo Youjuan tried the tea that was removed. The tea is at room temperature, isn't it hot?
She thought for a while and ordered: "Let's change to Lu'an tea."
Huo Youjuan has already noticed that Qin Nuo can hardly tell the difference in tea that he serves Qin Nuo these days. The only requirement is to be lighter.
Things are not going well these days, so feel upset, right?
"Is the emperor upset what should I do with this matter?" Huo Youjuan put the changed tea cup on the table and asked.
Qin Nuo frowned, "What do you say about this?" He has recently become accustomed to consulting Huo Youjuan.
"Does the emperor want to pursue the matter to the end? Or does it stop there?"
Qin Nuo twitched the corners of his mouth, "If it's just a private matter, I don't bother to take care of it, but for such a wicked act, I don't have to get to the bottom of it."
Wise Concubine Lin took the talisman to the date, and previously confessed that he wanted to return the talisman, indicating that the adulterer was not only an accomplice, but also had access to the Imperial Medicine Court ancient materials.
Since the epidemic has spread, the Imperial Medicine Court has been working hard. Even those who are not involved in the research should understand that these talisman papers are of great importance. There are such people who eat inside and out, and Qin Nuo is absolutely unwilling to take it lightly. The anger towards this kind of person is still above Wise Concubine Lin.
"It's better to use Wise Concubine Lin as bait to catch people out." Huo Youjuan suggested.
"I'm afraid it's useless. The adulterer found someone approaching, jumped out of the window and fled immediately, and threw Wise Concubine Lin there." Qin Nuo shrugged.
Speaking of this topic, can't help but think of the moment opened the door, and the fragrance came out.
Light and cold, refreshing, make people remember...
Since that time, more than an hour has passed, and the memory is still fresh, as if a strange fragrance lingers on the tip of his nose. It was as pure as a white plum blossom, just like the person in front of you.
"What kind of incense did you use tonight?" Qin Nuo asked suddenly.
"Huh?" Huo Youjuan was thinking hard, Qin Nuo would ask this question inadvertently, and she raised her head in surprise.
Looking over from Qin Nuo's angle, the girl raised her head, her bright big eyes were looking at herself, her blushing lips slightly opened.
The ghost is messed up, he lowered his head.
In Huo Youjuan's shocked sight, Qin Nuo's handsome face kept zooming in, and finally it was almost incomparable.
Qin Nuo kissed her lips.
