Chapter 989: The Little Palace Maid in the Imperial Household Department
While Minglang was waiting for news, Liang Chongyue was also waiting for news.
The palace was so quiet late at night that not even the sound of birds could be heard.
With heavy snow falling, everyone stayed indoors as much as possible and was unwilling to go out.
The inner and outer halls of the Hall of Mental Cultivation were brightly lit, and everyone knew that His Majesty was diligent in his work.
I'm afraid he's dealing with government affairs again.
"Your Majesty, it's getting late. It's time to go to bed."
Today's government affairs have been almost completed, and only some matters remain that need to be checked with the court officials.
Liang Chongyue had been sitting on the dragon throne for half an hour.
The sound of the system machine was always running in my ears.
"Prepare some water. I want to take a bath."
There was always hot water in the bathroom, so Yun Ling immediately went back to prepare it upon hearing this.
Liang Chongyue gave instructions to the system when he left the Yangxin Palace.
"Keep an eye on the machine and the screen on the panel. Minglang is still waiting."
Fei He and his men were conducting a secret investigation, but Liang Chongyue always felt that he was still a little late.
She should have thought about that earlier.
"Host, don't worry. I will definitely complete the task."
The lights in the Yangxin Palace were on. Liang Chongyue went to the bathroom to take a bath and listened to Fei He's voice coming from outside.
"Let him in."
The door of the bathroom was pushed open a crack. Fei He quickly slipped in and closed the door.
Prevent the cold wind from coming in and freezing Your Majesty.
"how's it going?"
Liang Chongyue held the warm rice wine in his hand and looked in the direction where Fei He was coming from.
Fei He was still feeling the cold air from outside, so he didn't dare get too close to His Majesty for fear of freezing him.
"In reply to your Majesty, when I led my men there to investigate, I found two young palace maids dead in the Imperial Household Department. They froze to death."
Liang Chongyue took a sip of rice wine and casually placed the glass on the table beside him.
"Which two places are these palace maids from?"
After Fei He responded, Liang Chongyue suddenly laughed out loud.
"It's really easy to place a few palace servants in the Imperial Household Department to clean the toilets every day. Using this, we can calculate when Minglang left the palace."
Liang Chongyue's smile was not deep, and the coldness in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows was even greater than the wind and snow outside.
"I checked the homes of those two young palace maids and they were clean. There's nothing wrong with them."
Liang Chongyue scooped up a handful of hot water and poured it over her neck, letting the hot water with flower petals flow through her body.
"Go write back to Minglang. She must be impatient."
We haven't found out who's behind this, but at least the direction of the investigation is correct.
When a child encounters such a thing for the first time, it is appropriate to give him some positive feedback.
Don't make your children wait impatiently.
"Tell the truth?"
"Of course I told you the truth. Minglang is not a child anymore. You still need to coax her into doing things like this."
"Yes, I'll go right away."
Liang Chongyue soaked in the bathtub, remained calm for a while, and then dived in.
Started swimming in the bathtub.
After swimming back and forth a few times, I stopped when I felt tired.
Call Yunling in.
"My head is a little itchy, give me a good scratch."
Her hair was wet and she couldn't sleep anyway, so she decided to wash it. Maybe some new clues would pop up.
"Yes, then your Majesty, please lie down."
Liang Chongyue lay by the bathtub, waiting for Yun Ling to wash her hair while dialing the system connection.
"What advice does the host have?"
Liang Chongyue told the system the result that Fei He had just mentioned.
The system fell silent. After a while, Liang Chongyue heard the system cursing the person behind it.
"Host, how many years do you think it took for the person behind this to be so difficult to investigate?"
If I had encountered something like this before, it would have taken at least a day or two to figure it out.
There have always been clues and outlines.
Who would have thought that the host had already accurately determined how the person behind the scenes discovered the time when Minglang left.
Fei He's speed is also unquestionable. Facing the host and Ming Lang's affairs, he might be more anxious than Fei He.
We must have investigated it immediately.
Just like that, they didn't make it in time, and the two little palace maids died.
The system bravely prepared to put the images of the two little palace maids on the panel, and then transfer them to the machine for a thorough inspection.
"Little dog, send me the death certificate of those two palace maids."
The fact of freezing to death should have been told to Fei He by the coroner after the examination. Fei He would not lie to her about such a thing.
If the corpse holds secrets, the deceased can speak.
The system just brought up the appearance of the two little palace maids, and I didn't even dare to take a look at them, but the host wanted them.
The system simply moves the entire panel in front of the host, and then assigns what should be assigned to the machine to the machine.
For the rest, it only needs to watch over the host and the machine to produce the results.
The system was thinking that if it hadn't seen those two scary guys, it would have had the leisure to eat two pieces of cake.
After a busy day, it doesn't have time to eat the pastries in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Now I take a bite and find that the pastry is a little cold.
But the system doesn't care. Having something to eat is better than having nothing to eat.
Aunt Yunling was washing the host's hair. At this time, the fire in the imperial kitchen was probably out.
The system silently took out snacks from its backpack and started eating them.
Liang Chongyue looked at the two little palace maids who were frozen stiff on the panel.
They look young and one of them looks quite childish.
How could someone so young be assigned to clean toilets?
Liang Chongyue was confused while waiting for the machine to give the results.
After waiting for a while, the result given by the machine was not much different from her own judgment.
Liang Chongyue sent the result given by the machine to the system.
"Is the machine being lazy? The result is not even as fast as my naked eye can judge."
The results only showed the age and identity of the two people.
There is also a detailed family background, but as for wanting to know more, it is somewhat unlikely.
"Perhaps because more data from the corpse was not fed into the machine, the final result was a bit sloppy."
Liang Chongyue, who was here, looked over what the machine gave him again and said to the system:
"Turn on the location, go find these two bodies and re-enter the information."
The chewing sound in the system's mouth stopped abruptly, and it turned its head to look at the heavy snow outside.
"Host, do you really want to go?"
The one who responded to the system was Liang Chongyue's affirmative voice.
"Of course, let's also check how these two young palace maids were assigned such a task at such a young age."
Jobs like washing toilets frequently are usually assigned to some old people in the Imperial Household Department who have made mistakes in various palaces, or have been transferred back to the Imperial Household Department after being disliked by their masters.
The appearance of these two young palace maids, who looked still unclear about their current situation, meant there was something fishy going on.
