Chapter 511 Imperial Decree (1)

After Eunuch Li said this, a little eunuch came outside to report that Empress Dowager Yide of Cining Palace was summoned. Eunuch Li went there in person, but he didn't see behind him. Xiao Chenzi lowered his head slowly raised up. The face that always looked honest and stupid was no longer as stupid as usual. Instead, he looked unfathomable. Then, his eyes moved quickly, then lowered his head, as if nothing had happened, and walked out as if nothing had happened.

The emperor's serious illness in the palace caused a stir in the previous dynasty, but the matter was not over yet. The next thing happened one after another. Eunuch Li disappeared. As the chief supervisor around the emperor, Eunuch Li has always been responsible for the emperor's daily life. He is the person who knows the emperor's best. Even Empress Dowager Yide was alarmed by the night guards. The guards on the night said that they had not seen anyone go out at night, and Eunuch Li must still be in the palace.

After almost opening the entire palace, someone finally found the body of Eunuch Li in the dry well behind Jingyang Palace. There was no other trace on the body, and even a suicide note was found from Eunuch Li. Eunuch Li committed suicide by jumping into the well. How could a large eunuch jump into the well and commit suicide by jumping into the well? Eunuch Li's suicide note was just trivial to express his gratitude to the emperor and failed to accompany the emperor. But those who are interested guessed that Eunuch Li saw that the emperor had not been dead for a long time, and he was too worried and finally became extremely frightened and committed suicide by jumping into the well.

Although this is a bit incredible, it is not impossible. As a chief manager, it is naturally closely related to the emperor's fate. The coroner has already checked that Eunuch Li committed suicide by jumping into the well. It didn't happen sooner or later, but it happened when the emperor was seriously ill. What's wrong with this? The most important thing is that apart from this incident, no one can find out the reason why the chief manager committed suicide.

After all, Eunuch Li is the chief supervisor of the palace. He has worked hard in front of the emperor for so many years, but Eunuch Li has no other relatives around him. However, a little eunuch below volunteered to say that he was the adopted son of Eunuch Li and was willing to hold a funeral for Eunuch Li. Such a sentimental and intentional eunuch was quite praised by everyone, so Eunuch Li's wealth and money naturally became Xiao Chenzi. Xiao Chenzi was also valued because of this matter, but he was quite a bit like the chief supervisor.

When the news about Eunuch Li reached Jiang Ruan's ears, Jiang Ruan was talking about the account book with Mr. Lin. Since the Jinyiwei came to report it, he did not avoid Mr. Lin. Eunuch Li's death was abrupt. Jiang Ruan thought about it and suddenly found that Mr. Lin was also in a daze. Butler Lin, who was still very energetic to discuss the issue in the account book with Mr. Lin, suddenly became a little confused, and was a little strange. Jiang Ruan looked at him carefully and found a trace of sadness in Mr. Lin's eyes.

Sad? Jiang Ruan's eyes moved and she spoke and reminded: "Butler Lin?"

Butler Lin suddenly came back to his senses, as if he had just discovered that he was lost. He was at a loss for a moment, and then he said in a panic: "This... young lady, the old slave is dereliction of duty."

Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: "It's not your fault. I heard the shocking incident in the palace. It's normal for a moment to get back to my senses. I was shocked just now. Butler Lin was lost and seemed to be thinking about this. I wonder what you think about this?"

Butler Lin laughed a few times, just as he was about to tell me that he could tell the tricks of it, but when he met Jiang Ruan, he couldn't tell it. Jiang Ruan's eyes were as gentle as before, and he almost penetrated people's scrutiny. She seemed to have seen something wrong with her and had sensitively grasped it. Now she was just asking. No one was better than the princess of her royal family in speculation of people's hearts.

Butler Lin looked straight and put away his awkward look just now. In an instant, he said as if he had changed his mind: "Eunuch Li has been in power for many years and has seen storms and waves. He will never commit suicide because of a temporary incident. Leaving a suicide note is all irrelevant. He is full of flaws. The old slave dared to guess that Eunuch Li did not commit suicide, but was killed, pretending to commit suicide." When he said this, although there was restraint in his tone, a trace of anger flowed out involuntarily.

Jiang Ruan nodded and said softly: "Yes, but Butler Lin thought he was killed by whom?"

"Eunuch Li is in the position of the chief executive and has a smooth and transparent mind. Ordinary people naturally cannot deceive him. Only those who are close to him can take action. Since this close person can make Eunuch Li unprepared, he must be the one who gets along day and night, and has already won all his trust. Eunuch Li died at the hands of his own people, there is no doubt!"

After Mr. Lin said these words, Jiang Ruan had no expression, but Lian Qiao and Lu Zhu were a little surprised. In the eyes of the two of them, Mr. Lin was just a crazy half-old man. Who knew that today's words were reasonable and evidenced. For some reason, they were completely different from what they used to feel.

Jiang Ruan was not surprised that Tanhualang was able to retreat at the peak of the glory, and had the determination and endurance of tolerance. He was a person with great wisdom. However, Jiang Ruan also saw that when Mr. Lin mentioned the death of Eunuch Li, his eyes were really fluctuating, which was almost impossible to hide. Obviously, he might have a connection with Eunuch Li, but everyone in the world always had some secrets, so why should he explore it clearly? But Mr. Lin's analysis coincided with her, which made her mind more determined.

"You are right. Those who can also plot against Eunuch Li must be extremely close people, and may even have been lurking around Eunuch Li for many years. Now that you are rashly taking action, the emperor is seriously ill, and more importantly, this may be a signal." Jiang Ruan said.

"Signal?" Butler Lin frowned and asked, "Does the young lady think they are going to take action?" At this time, Lao Lin seemed to be discussing the next countermeasures with Jiang Ruan, and he did not look unreliable in his usual situation.

"It's not a move. Eunuch Li died suddenly. I thought his death was too abrupt, and there must be a special reason to put him to death at this time. If you do it, you don't have to start from a manager, so Eunuch Li's death must be caused by himself. He made mistakes in some aspects and eventually killed himself." Jiang Ruan pondered.

Butler Lin also thought for a while, as if he thought what Jiang Ruan said was very reasonable, and looked at her and said, "But Madam, what mistakes can he make? What mistakes can he make in the end?"

Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: "What is the most tense thing in the palace now?"

"Yes... Your Majesty is seriously ill." Butler Lin replied.
