A Promotion Guide in the Harem - C211

Everyone saw that RongZhuo An was so mournful and felt pity for him. Leng Qiyue asked, “Who are you to the empress dowager? Why did you enter the palace to be her eunuch? ”

Rong Zhuo An was kneeling on the ground with a sorrowful expression. He was already immersed in his own sorrow and was unable to extricate himself from it.

Dongfang Haotian seemed to have thought of something and said: “I remember that there was a County Magistrate who suddenly quit his post and went missing. Could it be …”

He suddenly raised his head and said, “I am that magistrate. Originally, we had an alliance, but after she entered the palace, she never returned. For her sake, I hid the truth behind that fire. For her sake, I entered the palace as a eunuch. But why did she do this to me?”

Everyone knew that the “she” he referred to referred to the Empress Dowager.

Leng Qiyue said, “Since she treats you like this, why don’t you come back with us and expose her fake mask of Li Dai Tao?”

Rong Zhuo An looked at Leng Qiyue, his mood calmed, and then he lowered his head without saying a word.

Dongfang Haotian said, “Come back with me …”

Rong Zhuo An suddenly jumped up, grabbed a steel knife and placed it on his neck and said: “Jin Zhu, you can let me down, but I, Rong Zhuo An, did not let you down.” With that, he slit his throat with his blade.

The crowd simply couldn’t react in time and could only watch on helplessly as Rong Zhuo An’s blood splattered onto the ground.

Leng Qiyue frowned. This golden pearl was truly charming. There was also her daughter. I heard that she had once had a fiance who worked for the county magistrate … She didn’t dare to think any further. Why was it that all the bad women in this world were protected by a love-struck man?

Dongfang Haotian saw that the situation had come to this, and said: “Bai Lan, you stay behind to take care of the matters. I’ll bring Yue Er back to the palace first.”

Bai Lan nodded, “Okay.”

Dongfang Haotian turned around and saw that You Yu was hugging Leng Qiyue’s thigh and wailing, “Big Sister, don’t leave your little brother behind!”

Leng Qiyue said with disgust, “Scram! I’m not going to bring you, this monster, to the palace. If the palace maids ran off with you, who would still serve me?”

Dongfang Haotian said with a face full of black lines: “Bring him along.”

When Leng Qiyue heard this, she was startled and asked, “Why?”

Dongfang Haotian didn’t say anything. You Yu stood up and looked at Dongfang Haotian with a trace of emotion in his eyes.

Although Leng Qiyue was dissatisfied, she did not object. They first returned to the Manor, then immediately set off for the palace. Since the Empress Mother did not find the treasure, she should have returned to the palace before them.

The journey back to the palace was quite smooth. As soon as he entered the palace, he saw a scene of devastation. Most of the people in the palace were ill, and the imperial physicians were busy, so busy that they didn’t even notice that Dongfang Haotian was right in front of them. Leng Qiyue returned to her own palace first. She needed to wash up so that no one would talk about her.

Dongfang Haotian frowned and asked: “What’s going on here?” Maybe he was wearing civilian clothes and no one was paying him any attention, so he didn’t answer for a long time.

When he heard the noise, he got up quickly and was helped out by the eunuch. When he saw Dongfang Haotian, he knelt down and said, “Your servant greets the emperor.” When he shouted, everyone in the room lowered their stature.

Dongfang Haotian said, “No need to be polite. What’s going on here?”

“Just the other day, for some reason, the court began to have diarrhea, and so did the servants.”

Dongfang Haotian looked towards one of the imperial physicians. The imperial physician quickly said, “Your majesty, the palace maids eat unclean food to cause diarrhea, but it’s not a plague.”

Dongfang Haotian originally wanted to ask if there was a plague, but after hearing the imperial physician’s words, he felt relieved and said: “How can so many people suffer from the disease at the same time? Have you found the source? ”

“Your servant has found out,” said Dede, “that something has gone wrong with the well.”

“What problem?” Dongfang Haotian asked.

He hesitated, his eyes twinkling.

When Dongfang Haotian saw this, he said: “Follow me to the Wolong Palace.”

When they arrived at the Wolong Palace, he said, “Your Majesty, the well has been poisoned.”

Dongfang Haotian slapped the table and angrily said: “Who dares to be so bold?”

“It’s a celebration from the Palace of Moonlight. She’s been locked up by a servant.”

“Bring her here.” Dongfang Haotian’s head was in great pain. How could it have been done by someone from the Moon Flower Palace? Celebration? Wasn’t she the empress dowager’s palace maid?

The young eunuch, who had been ordered to bring the joyous ones, ran back and said, “Eunuch De, it’s bad. The joyous ones are dead.”

“Why don’t you, you dog slaves, take a liking to her?” “How am I supposed to explain this to the Emperor?”

Dongfang Haotian had already heard their conversation and shouted: “Dede, take me to see!”

“Your servant obeys the decree.” After a day of exertion, his hands were weak and his feet were weak. His happy death gave him another shock, and he was too exhausted to even walk, so he could only be carried by two young eunuchs.

The one that was being held was a woodshed. She was lying on a pile of straw inside the woodshed. Her eyes were wide open as black blood dripped from the corners of her mouth. It was obvious that she had died from poison.

Dongfang Haotian asked, “Who came?”

The eunuch replied, “To return to the emperor, only the palace maid, Little Ju, has come to deliver food today.”

“What about Feverfew?” Get her here. ”

“Yes.” The eunuch hurried to the kitchen.

A quarter of an hour later, the eunuch pulled a small palace maid to kneel on the ground. The palace maid said, “This servant greets Your Majesty.”

When Dongfang Haotian saw that this little palace maid was only twelve or thirteen years old and very young, she didn’t seem like a treacherous person. He softened his tone and asked, “Are you the one who brought me food to celebrate?”

Your Majesty, it was sent by a servant,” she said timidly. For the past few days, she had been in a bad mood and refused to eat. So, this servant brought some refreshments from the different palaces for her to eat. She ate a lot today, and ate a plate of osmanthus cake in one go.

Dongfang Haotian pondered for a moment before asking: “Do you remember which palace bought those osmanthus cakes?”

Xiao Ju replied, “This servant doesn’t know.”

Dongfang Haotian sighed and said, “Go down and receive your reward.”

“Thank you for your reward, your servant will take his leave.” Little Ju retreated.

Dongfang Haotian said, “Check which palace has swapped snacks today.”

“Your servant obeys the decree,” replied Dede.

After Dongfang Haotian returned to the Wolong Palace, he thought to himself, “Celebration was originally a palace maid by the empress dowager’s side. Afterwards, when something happened to the empress dowager, Leng Qiyue had her go to the Moon Flower Palace. Logically speaking, Han Liu and Xiao Die should be looking at her. The Empress should have returned to the palace before them, so why was there no news? Qing Xin poisoned the medicine to release the poison and it does not mean it is harmful to one’s life. So what is the purpose behind this? ”

“Someone, come.”

“Your servant is here.” A middle-aged eunuch entered.

Dongfang Haotian asked: “How is the empress dowager’s health?”

The eunuch replied, “To reply your majesty, there have been quite a few sick people in the palace recently. Esteemed Empress Dowager went to An Guo to pray for her blessings due to the plague.”

Dongfang Haotian coldly snorted and a person ran in from outside. It was the butterfly concubine. Her clothes were disheveled and her hair was in disarray. She had a panicked expression as she said, “Your majesty, save me!”
