Chapter 322 This is about a man’s dignity


    Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty held the mandarin duck jade pendant in his big hand with blue veins popping out.


    There was no need to check the jade pendant. He put the jade pendant back into the sandalwood box, and then closed the box with a snap.


    Then he stared at the sandalwood box.


    His hands were groping on it, as if to determine something.


    This is a piece of lacquerware that can last for thousands of years if buried in soil or water. It still feels as smooth as new. You can only tell from the color that it was newly unearthed.


    "Put the things away. No one is allowed to look at them. Anyone who dares to peek will die." Emperor Mingcheng''s words were almost squeezed out from the gaps between his teeth, with hatred and anger intertwined.


    Concubine Shu loves someone else.


    He didn''t ask anyone to investigate this matter.


    People are dead.


    The results of the investigation, whether true or false, will only embarrass him.


    Emperor Ming Cheng didn''t investigate who the man in the jade pendant was, but that didn''t mean he didn''t investigate what happened tonight. "Come here! Find out what''s going on with those cats. Let the people from the Imperial Hospital take a look. I want the results before dawn."


    The visitor immediately took orders and left.


    There must be someone behind this incident.


    The purpose is to get him to dig out the box.


    Whether the people behind it were targeting the Yang family or the Yuan family, it can be said that they were successful.


    This incident was like a thorn, instantly piercing the fantasy that Emperor Ming Cheng had weaved for a long time. An ordinary person might think that there are many doubts about this matter, and it is obvious that it was framed by others.


    The buried box may not be real.


    The mandarin duck jade pendant may also be fake, including the concentric knot that symbolizes the couple''s hair, or it may be intentional by the people behind the scenes. However, Emperor Ming Cheng''s rich life experience told him.


    That adulterer is probably true!


    The person must be real and can withstand Jin Yiwei''s investigation.


    This alone is true enough!


    Emperor Mingcheng refused to allow anyone to investigate. It was his last act of stubbornness as a man, and he wanted to save some face and dignity for himself.


    "Let''s go back to Qianqing Palace!"


    Emperor Mingcheng ordered to go down.


    One after another, inner temples came in to serve him and dress him, and then left the Changchun Palace without any regrets.


    Standing at the gate of Changchun Palace, Emperor Mingcheng suddenly stopped.


    He turned back to the chief **** and said, "Bring the sandalwood box with you."


    "Yes, Your Majesty."


    The affairs of Changchun Palace are not difficult to investigate.


    When Emperor Ming Cheng returned to Qianqing Palace, Changchun Palace was closed after Emperor Ming Cheng left.


    The guards surrounded the palace gate and began to investigate one by one.


    The imperial doctor who was on duty tonight also called over to help. One was to check why a few cats were acting abnormally, and the other was to go to the scene to look for clues.


    The results came before dawn.


    "Nepeta, someone sprinkled Nepeta powder on the soil. It is a medicine that can attract cats." The imperial doctor knelt in front of Emperor Ming Cheng and reported tremblingly.


    Nepeta is a kind of medicinal material, commonly known as camphor grass, cool mint, etc. It has an odor that can make cats excited and happy.


    Those cats originally lived in the cold palace, and they were lured there tonight. It was found that a young **** did it. After the guards searched, they found the body of the young **** in the cold palace. Not long after he hanged himself, the clues ended here.


    Emperor Mingcheng sneered: "My palace has become a sieve. Get out of here. If anything about what happened tonight is spread outside the palace, all those who know about it will be executed."


    "According to the order."


    The others wiped away the cold sweat and exited.


    They were lucky tonight, Emperor Mingcheng didn''t go on a killing spree. But now he was sitting in front of the imperial court, with murderous intent in his eyes, but luckily he endured it.


    Even if Emperor Mingcheng issued a gag order, just as he said, the palace had already become a sieve.


    Sealing also seals those who have no masters behind them. People who have masters behind their backs always have a way to spread the matter out of the palace. Thanks to Emperor Ming Cheng, he did not let anyone except him see the contents of the sandalwood box, nor did he let anyone see the contents of the sandalwood box. To investigate, there are currently few people who know the details.


    The only person who knows is the person who did this behind the scenes. Just like the Qin family in Cuihua Hutong.


    Before dawn, Old Man Hong received news from the palace.


    The message was delivered to Qin Chi again.


    After seeing it, Qin Chi raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "It''s done, no need to pay attention anymore, let others pay attention to their safety."


    "Yes, sir."


    Old Man Hong knew what Qin Chi had done, "The man in the palace actually tolerated it and never sent the Jin Yiwei to investigate."


    "I wouldn''t do it either."


    Qin Chi threw the message into the brazier, "This is about a man''s dignity."


    Old Man Hong''s mouth twitched.


    He really couldn''t understand it, probably because he didn''t have a woman.


    There were three thousand beauties in the palace. Many years after Concubine Shu''s death, the Changchun Palace where she lived was still vacant, and the layout was maintained as it was during her lifetime. Only Emperor Ming Cheng occasionally visited.


    Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!


    This is enough for people to know.


    The status of Concubine Shu in the heart of Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty.


    It was strange that Emperor Mingcheng felt comfortable when he suddenly learned that Concubine Shu had someone else in love. If the news spread, wouldn''t he become a huge joke?


    "When does the young master plan to return to Huizhou?"


    Old Man Hong knew Qin Chi''s plan.


    Qin Chi said: "I will discuss it with my wife when the reward for disaster relief comes."


    Qin Chi''s promotion in the main hall that day was the temporary intention of Emperor Ming Cheng, and some material rewards would follow. Qin Chi said that the reward had not been received, but it was the people who went to the disaster relief work together. As long as they went there, they would get some credit.


    The rewards for these people are subject to cabinet deliberations. Then he wrote a memorial and submitted it to Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty for approval.


    At this time, familiar footsteps came from the corridor outside the door.


    Qin Chi and Old Man Hong stopped talking.


    As footsteps approached, there was no need for the other party to speak. All the seriousness on Qin Chi''s face disappeared, revealing a light smile, "My wife is coming over to call me for breakfast. Is there anything else, Uncle Hong?"


    "No, uncle, I''m going to eat too."


    Old Man Hong felt a bit sore after saying this.


    Turning around and walking out the door, he met Song Jin in front of the door.


    Old Man Hong stepped aside and let Song Jin go first. At the same time, he bent down and saluted, "I have met Madam."


    "Uncle Hong, you don''t have to be polite. Breakfast is ready in the kitchen. Go eat it while it''s hot." Song Jin said with a warm smile.


    "Hey, okay."


    Old Man Hong waited for Song Jin to enter the study, then he stood up and left.


    Song Jin stepped into the study room, and Qin Chi was the first to greet her. He naturally reached out to support her and said with concern: "It''s enough to let other people say it. Why does the lady come in person?"


    "Lao Jing asked me to walk more often, saying it is good for my health."


    Song Jin said gently.


    While Qin Chi helped Song Jin walk out, he whispered something in her ear, making her eyebrows curl up.


    After having breakfast together, rinse your mouth with tea.


    Qin Chi took Song Jin for a walk in the yard on the pretext of digestion after the meal.


    He obviously didn''t do anything, but Qin Chi stayed by Song Jin''s side. In the eyes of others, it seemed that he had done everything well. The two of them seemed to be a world of their own, with the feeling that no one else could blend in.


    Yinlong stopped the maid.


    Let them not disturb the two of them.


    Qin Ba and the others also bypassed it wisely.
