Descending Phoenix- To be Emperor - C311
Rui’er hurriedly said, “Yes, this servant has been here for half a year and has been in charge of lighting Master Ten Thousand Year Old Man’s bedchamber.”
Hail grandpa?
Feng Ningyan could not help but raise his eyebrows, “The palace maids call you Your Majesty, why are you calling me Master Hail?”
Rui’er raised her eyes, as if she didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with the way they addressed her. “Rui’er follows Manager Wu as a servant, and Manager Wu has always called the emperor ‘Master Lu Sheng’. The servants have all addressed him in this manner as well …”
Zhuang Duxing was startled, he looked at Feng Ningyan, and Feng Ningyan was looking at him.
“That’s right, Manager Wu is used to calling the emperor ‘long live’ …” she said thoughtfully.
Zhuang Duxing nodded his head, “That’s right, this subject has heard Manager Wu call him that before, but in the will he left behind before he committed suicide, he didn’t call himself that. The many years of habit are hard to change. ”
Shangguan Jin immediately recognized the problem: “That will must be a fake.”
Feng Ningyan hurriedly said, “Rui’er, you follow Manager Wu as a servant. Do you have Manager Wu’s word by your side?”
After thinking for a while, Rui Er’s eyes lit up, “Yes! Last month, the empress dowager had shown mercy. The quasi palace people would meet with their families at Yonghe gate from the first day of the first month to the third day of the first month. “Because he couldn’t read, he forced Manager Wu to write a letter for his servant, but the steward was too busy. He was called away by the emperor halfway through the letter, and the letter was left there, still with his servant.”
Saying that, she quickly took out a folded square letter from her purse and gave it to Feng Ningyan.
Feng Ningyan opened it to look and saw that Wu Nianen’s handwriting was extremely casual, he couldn’t tell if it was a face or a willow body, and there were even some words that copied the famous works of the current emperor, so his style was rather complicated.
She passed the letter to Zhuang Duxing: “Zhuang Shaoqing, look at Manager Wu’s handwriting, is it easy to copy it?”
Zhuang Duxing looked and smiled: “Manager Wu’s words are self-made, it’s not difficult to imitate them, but his unbridled recklessness cannot be learned, it’s a habit he formed when he was young.”
Feng Ningyan nodded his head, “Yes, it’s not difficult to imitate a person’s handwriting and style. What’s difficult is that even his habit of moving his brush and pausing is imitated. If that will was forged and was not written by Manager Wu, then it would definitely be full of flaws. ”
Zhuang Duxing nodded his head: “If you want to know whether or not the will is real, then please come here and check.”
After resolving this matter, Feng Ningyan had the confidence to quickly solve the case.
She asked, “On the day of the Emperor’s sudden plague, were you in or out of the palace?”
Rui Er was at a loss. “This servant was on duty that night, but the Prince Cheng is inside the hall and no one is allowed to enter or leave. Besides, Su Cai Nu and Li Wan Huan are here as well.
“Who was summoned?” Feng Ningyan asked.
Now that she knew that these people were here to investigate the events of the day, she couldn’t help but feel terrified.
“Commander Du did enter and exit a few times, saying that he was ordered to meet the King Xuan. However, he didn’t bring back the King Xuan after that, so he entered the hall to report.”
After Feng Ningyan heard this, he urged Li Er to not say anything after she left. How could Li’er not know about the seriousness of the situation, and to swear repeatedly that she did not dare to say it.
After Rui’er left, Shangguan Jin said: “This lowly one has also asked the person on duty at Qianyuan Palace about this matter. Du Kai did indeed go, and King Xuan fell into the water.
Zhuang Duxing said: That’s why he is not aware of the situation in the palace, and being honest with him, even if the Prince Cheng were to do something, he would not do it in front of Du Kai.
Feng Ningyan slowly walked a few steps within the palace, and his eyes had already seen the environment and decorations once.
“By then, it would already be close to midnight, the time for the dinner is long past, and it would be impossible to use medicine in the food. We must apply the medicine, and it will definitely be in the emperor’s medicine or tea before King Xuan enters the palace. ”
Zhuang Duxing’s eyes lit up, he immediately walked to the side of the tea table, only to see that there was a teacup, on it was a set of tea set with a bright yellow bottom color and golden patterns, with a drawing of a five clawed dragon.
The set of tea sets consisted of a teapot and six cups. There was nothing unusual about them.
But the gold edge of one of the cups seemed different from the others.
Just then, Feng Ningyan walked over. Seeing the tea set, he knew that it was reserved for the emperor, if anyone else wanted to use it, they would be sentenced to death.
Zhuang Duxing passed the teacup in his hand to Feng Ningyan: “Miss Lian Yi, look, the golden color used to create this teacup seems to be dimmer.”
Feng Ningyan compared it carefully and nodded: “This teacup does not have any traces of scrubbing that has been used for a long time. The glaze is still fresh, and should not have been made by the same batch. In other words, the teacup was recently broken by someone. In order to prevent anyone from noticing, they changed it to a fake one. ”
Hearing this, Shangguan Jin didn’t hesitate to call the four Forbidden Army guards in, and search through the bedchamber.
It was not until they found a piece of porcelain stuck at the foot of the Emperor’s bed, at the foot of the carved bed.
“Found something!” Shangguan Jin anxiously used his sword to pull out the porcelain piece.
Feng Ningyan borrowed his sword and carefully scooped up the porcelain pieces. He placed it inside the fake porcelain cup and wrapped it with a handkerchief before holding it in his hand.
She looked at the emperor’s bed, her eyes filled with fear. “That night, Shen Youhuang left Su Cai’er and Li Wan Huan in order to let the two of them make their move. “Firstly, the Emperor has been accustomed to being served by these two and will not suspect anything. Secondly, it is as if he had made a name for himself and made them stand on the same boat as him. Only then will he be even more determined to not betray him.”
“What is the girl going to do next?” Zhuang Duxing couldn’t help but be shocked when she revealed such a sharp gaze, and seeing how her young age’s analysis of the case was logical, it could even be said to be meticulous. With such shrewd tactics, he could not help but admire her even more.
Even to this day, he and Shangguan Jin still did not know that the palace maid in front of them was actually Da Yue’s King Yu’s Wife.
Fortunately, Feng Ningyan and the others had moved very quickly, and when the Emperor returned, the palace maids and eunuchs had all returned to their respective places of abode, and the order of the hall was once again restored.
Feng Ningyan saw the imperial concubine helping the emperor enter the room, so she quickly went forward to help. She looked at the imperial concubine and cast a gaze that would make the imperial concubine feel at ease.
The imperial concubine nodded, saying that she would be taking care of them here, so she told Zhuang Duxing and Shangguan Jin to leave.
Feng Ningyan naturally left the bedchamber as well. Holding onto the shattered porcelain cup, he walked towards the Inspection Department together with Zhuang Duxing.
Now that she had obtained Imperial Concubine’s keepsake, she naturally travelled unhindered in the palace and Inspection Department.
Shangguan Jin went to check on the Imperial Palace’s defense, but Feng Ningyan and Zhuang Duxing went to an empty torture chamber.
“Miss Lian Yi, since your Imperial Concubine has ordered your subordinate to assist you in your investigation, Miss can use all the resources available in the Inspection Department.” Zhuang Duxing said solemnly.
Feng Ningyan smiled slightly: “I don’t need anything else, but I will have to trouble Zhuang Shaoqing to get someone to catch a white mouse first.”
