Chapter 845 There must be something fishy about his death
When Xu Xing arrived at Yongning Palace, the gate of Yongning Palace had already been opened.
These days, except for the closed palace gates and Concubine Shu being under house arrest, everything in the Yongning Palace is operating normally.
Although Emperor Suwen was angry, he still gave Concubine Shu enough respect. At least, he did not treat her harshly in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation because of these reasons.
No matter if it was due to the affection between husband and wife, their son, or the Duke's Mansion, anyway, apart from not being able to leave the palace, Concubine Shu's life was not as unhappy as outsiders thought.
Having received the news in advance that her nephew was coming, Concubine Shu just sneered and showed no excitement. When she saw Xu Xing, her words were even more normal.
Eunuch De was watching in a daze, inevitably feeling surprised.
Emperor Suwen said that he wanted him to lead the way, but in fact he just wanted him to monitor every word and action between the aunt and nephew.
Now it seems that Your Majesty was worrying too much.
After Xu Xing and Concubine Shu chatted briefly about family matters, Xu Xing took out a small box from his pocket and handed it to Aunt Ruyi beside him, saying, "This is an imported item that my nephew found by chance. It is made of a special material and is crystal clear. I brought it back specially to present to you, aunt. I wonder if you like it."
Ruyi had already held the box in front of Concubine Shu, opened the box, and took out a glass necklace.
The necklace is the size of a thumb, teardrop-shaped, and has no impurities.
There is also a pair of earrings made of the same material in the box.
Concubine Shu had seen good things before, but this was the first time she had seen imported goods like this. Although she was not in a good mood, it was difficult for a woman to refuse gold and silver jewelry. After hearing what Xu Xing said, she couldn't help but take a few more glances.
"You still have a heart."
"It is our duty to honor our aunt."
After talking about imported goods, Concubine Shu mentioned the recent health condition of the old Duke's wife. As a married woman, especially a woman who has entered the palace, it is extremely difficult for her to go home to visit her relatives.
Eunuch De was very sad when he heard this, and then a young eunuch came and told him that the emperor was looking for him.
She said she was looking for him, but in fact she was just reminding Xu Xing that it was time to leave the palace.
The aunt and niece had finished reminiscing about the past, so they stood up and said goodbye.
When Eunuch De saw this, he instantly breathed a sigh of relief. He was still worrying about how to find an excuse.
"Then the servant and the prince will withdraw first."
Concubine Shu glanced at Eunuch De calmly and said, "Thank you for your hard work today, Eunuch."
"Your Majesty, your words are serious."
After some polite exchanges, Concubine Shu stood up and saw Xu Xing off to the gate of Yongning Palace.
The emperor had forbidden her to cross the threshold, so she naturally would not cross that threshold. Only after watching Xu Xing and the others gradually walk away did she order people to close the palace gate again.
Once the door is closed, the hall becomes their own world.
"Master, will the prince investigate?"
Ruyi helped Concubine Shu walk to the bedroom and asked in a low voice.
"The bank will definitely check."
Concubine Shu answered with certainty, but also with a hint of sadness: "But, after so many years, it's hard to say whether we can find out anything."
If it was really the emperor who did all this, then the people who did it were either silenced or sent to some secret place, so it would be very difficult to investigate.
However, there must be something strange about his death, otherwise, why would the emperor remember a dead person for so many years?
Ruyi was a little worried. She was afraid that her master's guesses were true.
"Master, if..."
"There is no if, let's just take it one step at a time."
Concubine Shu pinched her palm, the pain made her clear her mind, she bit her back teeth and said angrily: "It doesn't make sense that he is the emperor, so he can take human life lightly, right?"
