Sure enough, after seeing Eunuch Gao, Eunuch Gao sat there with a gloomy expression and didn't speak for a long time.
"May I know why Godfather called me here?”Wei Qi immediately said after seeing Eunuch Gao.
He could see that Eunuch Gao was in a bad mood. Something big must have happened, so he didn't flatter him and went straight to the point.
"Last night, something big happened in the harem.”Eunuch Gao coldly shook his head."A few days ago, the Emperor visited two concubines. This morning, both of them were found dead in their chambers. Father suspects that this matter is the same person who framed Ming Fei."”
"Oh? Please tell me the details, godfather." Wei Qi's expression was grave as he hurriedly asked.
He almost blurted out Consort Jing's name, but in the end, he still held it in.
"Old Jiu, you have to know that this matter is a big deal for us, but it doesn't matter to the emperor. It's just two women dying.”
Eunuch Gao sighed."However, if the murderer is not found, all the concubines in the harem will be in danger. At that time, my position as the chief will be over. Therefore, I can't rest assured if this matter is handed over to anyone.”
"I understand, but there's one thing I don't understand.”Wei Qi shook his head and said,"Could it be that the imperial physicians can't find out the cause of death?" As long as there is a trace of a clue, I believe it will be much easier to investigate.”
"It's not that simple." Eunuch Gao shook his head." The imperial physicians are also at a loss. They don't know how those two concubines died, so it's very likely that the Emperor's next concubine will also meet with the same fate.”
"I understand."
At this point, Wei Qi finally understood. It seemed like he still had to see which concubine the Emperor wanted tonight.
However, Wei Qi still felt a little uneasy. If this was really Consort Jing's doing, then his next plan would become more and more troublesome.
"Also, you know that the Empress and I are sworn enemies. Now that the Empress has rebelled, the Emperor has already revealed some information. I don't want the Empress to leave the Cold Palace alive, do you understand?”
As Eunuch Gao spoke, his dry eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone became somewhat cold."If you don't get rid of the roots, the grass will grow again in the spring breeze. You are now in charge of the Empress 'case. As for what to do, I don't need to teach you.”
"This matter is really a little difficult. After all, the emperor does not believe that the empress is really rebelling. Moreover, those generals are also locked up and are not willing to be punished.”
When Wei Qi said this, he rolled his eyes and chuckled. He whispered,""Unless…the Empress herself couldn't stand the loneliness and suddenly died in the Cold Palace.”
"I think the Empress herself doesn't want to live anymore. After all, rebellion is a matter of extermination. The Emperor is already merciful to her by not killing her.”
General Manager Gao nodded with a cold smile and continued,""You are really sensible. I will definitely put in a good word for you in front of the emperor.”
"Yes, Godfather. I'll go and do my job then.”
After Wei Qi said this, he turned around and left. He was not a fool. If he really killed the Empress at this time, Princess Lan Lan would definitely kill him regardless of everything.
Therefore, he had to move left and right. If he wanted to survive in this harem full of conspiracies, he absolutely could not be careless.
After coming out, Wei Qi immediately felt depressed. Now that there were waves in the harem, Wei Qi was already beginning to feel a little pressured.
Therefore, he began to think about whether he should find someone to ride. This way, he could relax and feel happy. Why not?
Thinking about it, Wei Qi suddenly remembered. He heard that the Emperor was most fond of a singer called Mu Ji, and she was a national beauty. Why not go to the pear garden to have a look?
At this time, the Emperor should be reviewing the memorials, so Wei Qi mustered up his courage and walked towards the pear garden.
The entire harem was filled with eunuchs, and the male musicians in the pear garden were no exception.
After all, most fairies were in this pear garden. If the musicians in this pear garden were real men, then the emperor would be cuckolded too often.
When they arrived at the pear garden, it was filled with singing and dancing. In the middle of the dance floor, a beautiful courtesan dressed in snow-white clothes was dancing.
The courtesan's eyes were moving, and there was a hint of melancholy on her face. She looked really pitiful, as if she was complaining to someone.
Wei Qi was immediately tempted.
Such a beauty, if he didn't ride her properly, he would really be letting down such a beautiful appearance.
After the dance, Mu Ji took out an embroidered handkerchief and wiped the sweat off her forehead. She let out a few light breaths as if she was very satisfied with her performance today.
"Hehehe, I've long heard that Miss Mu Ji has both beauty and skill. Now that I've seen her today, she really lives up to her reputation.”
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wei Qi immediately walked forward and chuckled at Mu Ji.
"Hmm? Who are you? Why are you looking for me?"
Mu Ji looked at Wei Qi and shook her head.""I don't know you."
"Haha, I'm Wei Qi from Eternal Trust Palace. I'm here to look for Miss Mu Ji for something important. May I have a word with you?”
Wei Qi stared at the collar of Mu Ji's clothes with a serious expression.
"What? "So it's Eunuch Wei. This servant greets Eunuch Wei. This servant was rude. Please forgive me. Eunuch Wei, please move. Let's talk in my room."”
When Muji heard Wei Qi's name, she quickly gave him a long bow. Wei Qi's reputation in the harem was now very resounding. There were even rumors that Wei Qi would replace Eunuch Gao as the next manager of the harem. Such a person could not be offended.
