Chapter 118: A Few Bugs (1)
Hui Bao was placed by He Bahong in a place very close to the yard of their father and son. He changed into clean clothes and ate some dinner in a hurry. He was just about to rest when he heard someone knocking on the door from outside.
, he hurriedly opened the door, and it was He Babo.
Seeing him, He Babo smiled and said, "Eunuch Hui, my father invites you to come to the study for a chat."
Hui Bao's eyes flashed, and he quickly smiled and said: "Your Majesty, go first, I will go right away."
But after he said this, He Babo did not leave. He still looked at him with a smile and said, "My father asked me to accompany my father-in-law."
Hui Bao's heart tightened and he could only say: "Okay, I'll go back and change clothes. Young Master will wait at the door."
"Okay, there's no rush." He Babo said with a smile.
After a while, Hui Bao changed his clothes and walked out of the room, and followed He Ba Bo towards the study. When he entered He Ba Hong's study, he discovered that there was not only He Ba Hong in the room.
Hong was alone, and there was a man of medium build standing in the middle of the room.
Seeing this person, Hui Bao blinked, because this person seemed familiar to him, but for a while he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.
But at this time, I heard He Bahong introduce him to this person: "Master Mu, this is Eunuch Hui Baohui. He is very familiar with the situation in the palace and He Bayu. It is thanks to our escape this time
If you have anything to ask him, just ask him!"
Hui Bao was startled and couldn't help but look at this man again, only to see that he was not only tall, but also had very deep eyes and a high nose. More importantly, he had a full face of beard and a dark complexion, making him
People really can't see their true appearance for a while.
So he secretly noted the person's appearance in his mind, then bowed respectfully to him, and said unhurriedly: "My lord, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask. Now our family has left.
Once there, there’s nothing left to say!”
"Okay!" The man said in a rough voice, "May I ask Eunuch Bao, is the imperial concubine really burned to death in the fire?"
Hui Bao was stunned this time, but he rolled his eyes and said with an indifferent expression: "If this were not the case, how could our family be suspected by Emperor Jingwen, nor would we... Anyway, it was the Northwest King who saved our family.
It is our duty to repay him for his life. Is this all your Lord wants to ask?"
At this time, He Bahong's eyes flashed but he spoke: "Yes, the queen should have sent someone to set the fire. It is said that her people were guarding the door and did not see anyone coming out, although there was no trace of it afterwards.
The bones were found, but with such a huge fire and the addition of kerosene, I'm afraid even the bones have been burned!"
"Didn't the prince also say 'should' just now? He looked very uncertain. Why are you so sure now?" After hearing He Bahong's words, the visitor said angrily.
He Bahong was startled, but then he smiled and said: "The kerosene was discovered after the fire was extinguished, so of course it is certain."
"Oh! That's it." The man nodded and stopped asking this question. Instead, he asked Hui Baodao, "Is there really a secret passage leading to the palace outside? Can I go in and kill the emperor directly?
"
"Yes, but there are mechanisms in the secret passage. Most people who go in will only have a narrow escape from death unless someone leads the way." Hui Bao said slowly.
