Chapter 718: survey

Xu Hu is now the president of Jin Yiwei and is only loyal to Zhao Yuanjing.

He never asked why, and would only faithfully execute all Zhao Yuanjing's

orders.

Zhao Yuanjing told him to check Yundai, even if he knew that Yundai was the

emperor's most beloved concubine, he would never be surprised.

"Check this matter yourself, don't say anything." Zhao Yuanjing told him.

"Humble duty and dictate."

Xu Hu turned around and went out.

He first called the guards who were on duty at the gate of the imperial city

last night and asked them one by one.

Two of the guards admitted to seeing Concubine Yun.

"About midnight, I saw Niang Niang Yun." The guard said, "However, I didn't

let her go out, and she didn't force her to go back soon."

"Who was Empress Yun with?" Xu Hu asked.

"There is an ** next to Yun Niang." The guard said, "There is no one else.

At that time, Niang Niang asked to leave the palace, and the humble servants

didn't dare to let it go at will. Niang Niang turned and left."

Xu Hu pondered, and then asked, "What happened later?"

"Later? I didn't see Empress Yun again." The guard said.

"I really didn't see it?"

"The humble position can be guaranteed by life, and indeed I never saw Empress

Yun again."

Xu Hu frowned.

He thought for a while, and then asked carefully: "It was already midnight,

shouldn't anyone ever enter or leave the palace gate?"

"There is one more person," the guard said.

Xu Hu's eyes lit up: "Who?"

"His Royal Highness Qin," said the guard, "However, His Royal Highness Qin is

busy with his business and often leaves the palace very late. The lowly

servants are all used to it."

Xu Hu said, "I didn't ask Prince Qin again. Is there no one else except him?"

"After Prince Qin left, no one came in or out again until after dawn." The

guard replied.

Xu Hu was silent for a while and asked, "Did King Qin go out of the palace

alone?"

"It seems to have brought an entourage?"

The two guards glanced at each other, "I remember there was an entourage in

the humble post."

"Did you see clearly what the entourage looked like?"

"I didn't see it clearly, but I was not tall and wore a cloak." The guard

recalled carefully, "I didn't care about the humble job at the time, because

King Qin did bring his entourage in and out sometimes."

Xu Hu slapped the table and said angrily: "Asshole, you can leave it alone,

Prince Qin. Why don't you check his entourage?"

The guard was a little apprehensive, and said, "Prince Qin has to go in and

out of the palace every day. If I wait for the district guards, if there is no

imperial decree, how can I dare to ask questions?"

Xu Hu was a astute person. He vaguely felt that this matter was not that

simple, so he went back to report to the emperor.

Zhao Yuanjing listened quietly, and finally asked, "What does the entourage

that King Qin took out look like?"

"The guard who guarded the gate said that he didn't see it clearly, but he

knew that he was short and he was also wrapped in a cloak. Because it was

brought out by Prince Qin, the guards did not dare to interrogate." Xu Hu

said.

"Oh... Then did King Qin appear again later?"

"Never." Xu Hu said very confidently, "The two boys guarding the gate are the

confidants of the ministers, and they do their duties. They said that from the

time King Qin left until the palace gate was opened at dawn, no one entered or

left. Ever."

Zhao Yuanjing looked down and thought, and did not speak for a long time.

Xu Hu said, "The emperor, do you want a minister to ask King Qin?"

"You?" Zhao Yuanjing glanced at him and said with a faint smile, "With your

deeds, what can you ask from the little emperor's mouth. Do you dare to do

it?"
