Vol 3 Chapter 1180:

However, all of this was ruined when Zhu Xi returned to Kyoto.
He hates Zhu Xi. He tortured him into such a Xia Yuanqiu. He said that she is a doctor and a bodhisattva. In his opinion, this woman is poisonous like a snake.
Zhu Xi wanted to tear the thief in front of his eyes, but the father’s life was in his hands. He did not dare to act rashly. Yuan Qiu used him for acupuncture, and he did not let him loose his mouth, despite his painful shouts. It has already resounded through the hall.
He thought that as long as he clenched his teeth and did not tell the truth, he could at least save his life. But who knows, he thought he was in full control of the palace, and there was still a fish that slipped through the net.
In the hall of the government, he rushed into a palace girl. Xia Yuanqiu was familiar with some of them, but they couldn’t think of who they were together.
When the palace lady rushed in, she shouted: "His Royal Highness, the emperor is not in the palace at all. Zhou Tong, he does not know the whereabouts of the emperor, you have to go to him!"
Zhu Xi frowned, glaring at the middle-aged woman who came out of this inexplicable, asked: "Who are you?"
The palace girl said: "Slaves Langu, who was the slave of the Pingyang Houfu, was the dowry of the Liuyan maiden. After the death of Liu Yu, the slaves were left in the palace, because the master was gone, in the palace. After being bullied, Hou Ye and his wife met the slave once when they entered the palace. When they saw that there was a wound in the slave, they knew that the slave was too bad. They opened the emperor and asked the slave to leave the palace. They returned to Pingyang Houfu, and the emperor’s heart was thick. Promised the request of Hou Ye and his wife, and allowed the slave to leave the palace. Unfortunately, the slave had just got the news of the palace. Before he was happy, he heard that Zhou Tong bought the imperial kitchen and the family members who had tasted the meal. The man was poisoned in the food of the emperor. On that day, the emperor left Pingyang Hou and his wife to eat in the palace. All three were poisoned. Then the masters of each palace were quickly detained. Later, listen. Said the official in the capital, but if there is a bit of dissatisfaction with Zhou Tong, either destroy its full door, or shut into the dungeon, the entire capital has become a human hell, Pingyang Houfu up and down more than two hundred people, are all ruined."
The palace girl is crying. For her, the residence of Pingyang Hou is the same as the home.
When she heard that everyone in Pingyang Houfu was ruined, she even had a heart of death, but she could not die. Hou Ye and his wife were still in the hands of the thief. She must not die.
More than two hundred people in Pingyang Houfu are killed.
This sentence echoed in the ears of Zhu Xi and Xia Yuanqiu, and the words literally slammed into their hearts, making them unhappy.
Zhu Xi took a deep breath and turned to Lan Gu: "You just said that the emperor is not in the palace? What is going on?"
Lan Gudao: "The slaves have been slaves for many years in the palace. Although they are not ambitions, they also know where to inquire about the news. These days, slaves pretend to be eunuchs, mixed into the people who sent food to the prison, and occasionally learned the emperor and Hou Ye, they were rescued from the prison, and they disappeared with them, or Xing Ying and Xing Fang of Donggong. The slaves guessed that Xing Ying and Xing Fang would have saved the emperor and Hou Ye."

How long has it been?
asked Xia Yuanqiu.
Lan Gudao: "The slaves were known seven days ago. How long they have escaped from the dungeons, the slaves do not know."
Xia Yuanqiu’s hands in the sleeves have long been clenched into fists. She has never been so angry, and she only wants to have a knife in front of her eyes.
It’s a knife! Isn't it too cheap for him?
