Chapter 38: When there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey becomes king
Just as Xie Xunfeng was about to follow Hou Jie in, he discovered that Jing Fei had no intention of following them in.
"Master, I just... I'll just forget it. I'm scared when I see the corpse..." Jing Fei said with a bitter face.
Xie Xunfeng said calmly, "If you still want to follow me, follow me!"
Jing Fei had a bitter face and could only follow.
Xie Xunfeng’s idea was very simple. Jing Fei was his own man and would definitely be of important use in the future.
His subordinates need to do more than just know how to kill chickens.
This is the first lesson.
Under Hou Jie's leadership, the guards at the prison gate no longer stopped them.
The prison was pitch black, as if one was in the underworld.
There were only a few very dim oil lamps to provide light.
From time to time, bursts of heart-wrenching howls could be heard from inside.
After Jing Fei came in, he held Xie Xunfeng's arm and didn't let go.
All the way down underground, the air was filled with a damp smell of blood.
When they reached the door of one of the rooms, Hou Jie said to Xie Xunfeng, "Xie Proton, have you made up your mind?"
Xie Xunfeng nodded.
Hou Jie knocked on the door and a hunchbacked old man opened the door.
The morgue was very bright.
But this old man was a little scary, with a bald head and a pair of grey eyes, whose pupils were actually white.
The old man nodded at Hou Jie and looked at Xie Zhizi.
"Lao Mao, this is Xie Jizi, here to check the body." Hou Jie said to Lao Mao's old man.
Lao Mao nodded and stepped aside.
He casually handed two basins to Xie Xunfeng and Jing Fei and said, "Don't spit on the ground."
Jing Fei held the basin tightly.
Xie Xunfeng said no.
I followed him in and the room smelled like a rotting corpse.
The bodies were laid out side by side in the morgue.
The body was covered with white cloth, so the smell was a little unpleasant.
Hou Jie took Xie Xunfeng to a row of corpses.
Signaled Hou Jie to lift the white cloth.
The body was immediately revealed because an autopsy had been performed.
So the stomach is cut open.
Jing Fei was the first one who couldn't hold it in. He hugged the basin and started vomiting.
Xie Xunfeng started checking as usual.
He observed very carefully.
He was even so careful that he performed a new autopsy on the body.
Xie Xunfeng's method of dissecting corpses was so powerful that even the prison warden Hou Jie couldn't help himself.
He grabbed Jing Fei's basin and started vomiting.
After Xie Xunfeng had been busy for an hour, he washed his hands and walked out.
He now believes more and more that Xie Xunfeng is a fool .
If you are not a fool, how can you dissect the intestines of a corpse?
When Hou Jie thought of the taste, he dry heaved a few more times.
After walking out of the prison, Xie Xunfeng told Hou Jie to "go home!"
"Thank you, proton. Aren't you going to check anymore? What did you gain just now?" Hou Jie asked.
Xie Xunfeng glanced at Hou Jie and said, "Of course there are gains, so I need to follow His Majesty to report."
Hou Jie widened his eyes and said to Xie Xunfeng, "Do you know who the assassin is?"
Xie Xunfeng nodded and said, "It's about right."
Hou Jie's face was full of disbelief.
However, Xie Xunfeng did not explain to him.
The main reason why Xie Xunfeng was so anxious was that he wanted to see Xiao Yiran.
He was still a little worried about Xiao Yiran staying in the palace. After all, the harem was still the queen's territory.
He made Kunning Palace suffer such a loss, the Queen will definitely not let her go.
…
Xie Xunfeng was right to worry.
Xiao Yiran was indeed not having a good time at this time.
Although he left Kunning Palace and went to Cining Palace, he did not even see the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager is a Buddhist, and this month is Ramadan.
The Empress Dowager needed to observe vegetarian diet and chant Buddhist scriptures for a month in the Buddhist temple in the imperial palace.
So, even when the emperor came back, he had not yet met the empress dowager.
As the saying goes, when there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey becomes king.
Originally, the emperor's punishment was to make her serve in the Cining Palace.
In addition, the Queen had specifically instructed so.
The people in the Cining Palace naturally listen to the Queen.
Therefore, from the time Xiao Yiran came to the Cining Palace until now, he has been ordered around and bullied.
Xiao Nalan heard that the Queen Mother was practicing in the Zen room.
Xiao Yiran was still being beaten up in the Cining Palace.
He couldn't help but sneak out of Kunning Palace.
She wanted to torture him.
As soon as I arrived at the gate of the Cining Palace, an old nanny came to greet me.
"Princess Nalan, why did you come here in person? We have been following your orders and have been asking her to work since yesterday. She has been working until now... She has not even been allowed to enter the room to sleep!" The old nanny said to Xiao Nalan with a nod and a bow.
"That's it? Mammy, is this all I want you to take care of?" Xiao Nalan said with a hint of coldness in her voice.
The old lady said awkwardly, "Princess, we have already asked her to do all the rough, heavy and dirty work..."
Xiao Nalan snorted coldly and said, "Where is she now?"
"Now he's pouring out the night incense in the toilet ." said the old nanny.
Xiao Nalan smiled and said, "Humph, what does it mean to take care of someone? You should learn from this!"
As he spoke, Xiao Nalan walked towards the toilet in the Cining Palace.
At this time, dozens of night-blooming incense barrels were placed next to the toilet.
Xiao Yiran didn't sleep well, so she was looking unhappy as she was holding the night-scented incense bucket.
"Hey, isn't this the bitch Xiao Yiran who wants to be Hanzi's wife... Why don't you go to Cheng Zhizi's mansion to be Hanzi's wife, but instead you're pouring night incense here..." Xiao Nalan couldn't help but raise her voice a few degrees and shouted.
When Xiao Yiran heard Xiao Nalan's voice, his heart skipped a beat.
"You... aren't you under house arrest? Why are you here? Aren't you afraid of your father's punishment?" Xiao Yiran said to Xiao Nalan with an increasingly ugly expression.
"Oh, you've gotten angry again! Humph, that's right. I'm under house arrest... Did you see that the eldest princess came to the Cining Palace?" Xiao Nalan asked the palace maids and eunuchs beside her in an extremely arrogant manner.
Everyone waved their hands and said no.
Xiao Yiran gritted his teeth and ignored him, thinking about leaving after emptying all the night-scented incense barrels.
If she can't afford to offend him, can't she just hide away?
As he spoke, he started to work.
"Xiao Yiran, you bitch, you really don't know the rules anymore... When you see me coming, why don't you pay your respects to me?" Xiao Nalan said provocatively.
Xiao Yiran bowed to Xiao Nalan and said, "Princess, please forgive me. I still need to pour the night incense, so I can't bow to you."
Xiao Nalan snorted coldly and said, "Since she wants to pour the night fragrance, why are you all standing there? Go help her."
At first the palace maids and eunuchs didn't understand.
Xiao Nalan's personal maid who came with her directly picked up a night-scented perfume bucket and poured it directly towards Xiao Yiran.
Xiao Yiran was so scared that she wanted to hide, but she hadn't rested well the night before and hadn't eaten anything, so her legs went weak and she staggered.
He couldn't avoid it and was splashed all over his chest.
"Hahaha, have you guys learned how to do it? Help that bitch Xiao Yiran to pour out the night incense..."
