Chu Yu was worried about what happened at the banquet after the autumn exam last time, so she sent Lan'er to pay attention to what happened in the palace recently.

Ever since the monk entered the palace, it has been rumored in the palace that he is a bluffing liar, but he abides by his duties, chanting scriptures in Qianqing Palace every day, and Chu Aotian’s headache really improved a lot, so the wind direction in the palace slowly It has also changed a lot, and the attitude of the eunuchs and court ladies towards him has become more and more awe-inspiring.

Chu Yu was worried that the monk had no good intentions at first, seeing that he could really cure Chu Aotian's head disease, although he was afraid in his heart, he had nothing to say and could only pay attention secretly.

The beauties sent by Concubine Xian to the palace were not as favored as people imagined. People said that His Majesty was just a glimpse at that banquet. Afterwards, Chu Aotian thought that she looked like a dead concubine, which was bad luck, so he gave it to her at will A concubine was sent away.

That beauty neither competed for favor nor acted like a demon, she was actually content with being in a low position in the palace, she was ridiculed and despised by other concubines on weekdays and did not resist, she stayed in her own palace all day and didn't like to go out.

After that banquet, the palace gradually fell silent like boiling water, as if it had no effect on the past except for a small change.

Chu Yu didn't know the news of Liu Decai's death until several days later.

That morning, Chu Yu was listening to the bamboo building to practice calligraphy, Lan'er and Xiao Lizi were bored, finally found a chance, squatted together and bit their ears together.

Xiao Lizi was afraid of disturbing Chu Yu, so he lowered his voice and talked to Lan'er vividly, sometimes accompanied by actions, which was very funny.

After hearing what Xiao Lizi said, Lan'er couldn't hide her excitement, and hurriedly asked, "Really?"

After a while, after listening to Xiao Lizi's words, his expression turned ugly again, as if he was about to vomit.

Xiao Lizi patted Lan'er on the back with an understanding face, "Sister Lan'er, I had the same reaction as you when I first heard the news, it's so disgusting! That old dog thief will have such a day!"

Lan'er covered her mouth and waved her hand, "Don't say it."

Xiao Lizi whispered, "Sister Lan'er, should we tell the master about this?"

Chu Yu put down his pen helplessly.

Little Lizi chuckled, and before Lan'er could speak, he had already leaned over to Chu Yu's side, "Master, I have some good news for you."

Chu Yu looked at his proud face dumbfounded, and said half-jokingly, "Oh? What good news, let's hear it."

Xiao Lizi looked around pretendingly, and said in a low voice, "Master, do you still remember Liu Decai, that dog slave? He died just a few days ago."

This person's name sounded a little strange at first, but Chu Yu thought for a long time before realizing that it was the eunuch who had gone to collect labor fees before, but he hadn't heard much about him recently.

There were rumors in the palace that His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince had gained power, and the servant knew that he had offended Chu Yu before, so he was afraid that he would remember him, and never stay far away.

After hearing this, Chu Yu was not very happy, but frowned, "What's going on?"

Little Lizi was so talkative, he made a fuss about it and told the whole story, "A few days ago, that dog slave had an affair with Concubine Jing's close maid, and was discovered by Concubine Jing, and Concubine Jing sent someone to investigate. , Only then did I realize that this dog servant is so daring that he dared to steal things from the palace, and took advantage of the maid's convenience to steal a lot of good things."

"Several young eunuchs found a box under his bed. It was hidden very hidden. It was full of palace items. When it was discovered, the dog slave was still dead, and he said he didn't know where it came from."

Xiao Lizi scratched his head embarrassingly, "Master, it's not that I'm so bold, everyone in the palace knows the temper of Concubine Jing, and in a fit of anger, she expelled the maid in the palace directly to Xinzheku, and beat that dog's servant fifty times." The big board, that old thing is also hard-boned, and it survived after fifty boards, it just lay on the couch for several days."

Chu Yu pondered for a moment, then asked, "Then how did he die?"

Xiao Lizi put it off, and said with a smile, "Master, I told you I'm afraid you won't like it, but that slave was found on the couch in the house. When he was found, his whole body was rotten. Corpse flies and maggots, Wu Zuo said that he took the wrong medicine, and the wound has not healed, and they are all rotten."

After hearing this, Chu Yu rubbed his chest uncomfortably, suppressing his nausea forcefully, "Then why didn't he call someone?"

It stands to reason that there are people coming and going in the place where the eunuch lives, if he calls out, no one will hear him, how could he die alone in the house?

Xiao Lizi rubbed his hands, "Master, I heard that when this slave dog died, his mouth was covered and his feet were tied, so he couldn't call."

Lan'er interjected from the side, "In my opinion, that bastard has offended too many people on a daily basis. Someone fell into a well and took his life!"

With Li Decai's distasteful character, not to mention the fact that he offended Concubine Jing who was being favored, those who flattered him usually ran far away, and any little eunuch could kill him.

The death of a eunuch can't cause any disturbance in this palace. The higher-ups checked the meaning, but if they didn't find out the result, the matter was just let go.

The servant had no relatives and no reason, and no one collected his corpse. The corpse was dragged to a mass grave, and he had no idea which vulture that ate carrion was fed.

Although I couldn't bear it in my heart, most of them still felt happy. Lan'er let out a sigh of relief and cursed, "Yes!"

That old slave is greedy for money and lust, he should have died a long time ago.

Chu Yu frowned tightly, and squeezed the pen in his hand tightly. After a while, he told the two of them, "You two don't talk about this matter anymore."

Xiao Lizi and Lan'er looked at each other, as if they couldn't understand why Chu Yu didn't look happy at all.

But they always listened to Chu Yu's words, and nodded obediently, "Yes, master."

"Don't talk about anything anymore?"

A crisp and sweet voice came, and several people raised their heads to look at the voice, only to find that it was Jiang Ying, whom they hadn't seen for a long time.

Her outfit today is also extra girly, not only has her eyebrows carefully painted, but she also changed into a goose yellow gauze dress, like a fairy who has just descended from the world and is ignorant of the world.

The little eunuch who was guarding the door hurried to catch up, panting, "His Royal Highness, Your Highness, why did you barge in by yourself?"

Jiang Ying glared at him, "What does it matter, your master doesn't mind, why are you so serious?"

She turned her head and glanced at Chu Yu, her voice was sweet, "Is that right? Yu'er?"

Chu Yu was still thinking about the eunuch just now, when she came back to her senses, she waved at the embarrassing eunuch, "Go down."

Jiang Ying proudly raised her chin at him, "See, let's see your door."

She jumped up to the listening booth and asked curiously, "What were you talking about just now? I want to hear it too."

Just as Xiao Lizi subconsciously opened his mouth to answer her words, the sound was gradually silenced under Chu Yu's gentle gaze, and he made a gesture of sticking a seal on his mouth in a dejected manner.

Chu Yu turned her head and glanced at Jiang Ying, and said with a smile, "Why is Your Highness the Crown Princess free to come to listen to the bamboo building today?"

Jiang Ying blinked her eyes, and suddenly smiled, "Isn't it because I've been bored these few days, and there's nothing to do, and Chu Qing can't find anyone all day, I'm really bored."

Chu Yu's gaze fell on her hand, "What is the princess holding in her hand?"

Jiang Ying originally wanted to hide it behind her back, but when Chu Yu saw it, she had no choice but to take it out reluctantly, "Chu Qing asked me to bring it to you."

She was a little embarrassed, "I ran into him just after I left the East Palace. He knew that I was going to listen to the bamboo building, so he asked me to drop by this thing. He said it was for you, and told me not to peek. Hmph, I Is that kind of person?"

Strange to say, Chu Qing was not angry when he learned that his princess was running into his imperial brother's palace, but just nodded his head lightly, smiled and only said one thing to let her bring the things over, and he didn't say anything else What, just left.

If it wasn't for Chu Qing's face when he saw Chu Yu and Chu Rui riding together that day, Jiang Ying really thought he didn't care at all.

Thanks to him being able to bear it, Jiang Ying murmured inwardly.

Jiang Ying pushed the things in front of him, emphasized again, and flattered her, "I didn't peek, Yuer, do you want to praise me?"

It was a red sandalwood brocade box, from the outside it was impossible to tell what was inside, only that the box was very exquisite, and it was not found at random.

Chu Yu's hand that was on the box paused, pulled the box in front of her, and joked with a smile, "Her Royal Highness is so committed to keeping her promise, it's really not easy to hold back her curiosity."

Jiang Ying nodded seriously, "That's not it."

Seeing Chu Yu unlock the box, Jiang Ying poked her head to see what was inside, but before she could see clearly, Chu Yu closed it with a snap.

She raised her head and looked at Chu Yu's face, feeling that there was nothing good inside.

Chu Yu put the box away, her expression as usual, "If the princess can meet the emperor when I go back, please bring me a word, I don't like this gift, I hope he won't give it again next time."

Jiang Ying swallowed, "Yu'er, there must be something strange inside."

Chu Yu smiled and shook her head, "Not really."

"Oh," Jiang Ying replied embarrassingly.

If I knew she should have taken a sneak peek when she came just now, it was better than scratching my heart and lungs with curiosity now, but she was too embarrassed to ask what was inside.

Glancing at the things on the table, resisting the urge to bring something back, Jiang Ying chatted with him for a while, seeing that he was always absent-minded, and wisely didn't stay long, and after a while just left.

After Jiang Ying left, Chu Yu stood up, picked up the box, turned to Lan'er beside her, "Clean up here."

Lan'er withdrew her curious gaze that was still on the box, and responded.

Before she could react, Chu Yu had already gone back to the inner hall with the box in her hands. Lan Er hurriedly tidied it up and shouted, "Hey, master, wait for me."

Regardless of Lan'er still packing her things, Chu Yu entered the inner hall, shielded a few servants, and opened the box again in the hall alone.

With just a vague glance just now, he had already seen clearly what was inside the box.

Lying quietly on the thick red velvet cloth was Li Decai's waist card, with blackened blood stains on it.

It is not difficult to imagine where this waist card came from.

Chu Yu closed the box, threw it aside in disgust, and closed her eyes.
