Chapter 349 Contest in the Harem (3 more)
"I am the queen, my maid's name is Huanyue'er. I stole the bracelet of Tong Guiren and handed it over to Aunt Fangfei, who served in front of Guan Guiren. I just acted on orders and didn't know what the bracelet was for. Everyone in the palace knew that the more I knew, the more dangerous it was. I was very scared to steal the bracelet and didn't dare to inquire. At that time, I was already at the age of leaving the palace. I was fascinated by the time and thought of leaving the palace with a sum of money, and I exclaimed... "
The woman looked at Concubine Tong when she spoke. It seemed that the master and servant were not getting along well back then.
Concubine Tong was favored by her youthful and energetic arrival in the palace. She was a little arrogant on weekdays and was not very kind to the palace servants she served. However, now she is no longer the same as before, and her edges have long been smoothed out.
"You are so brave! According to the bottom book of the palace, you suddenly fell ill and died when you left the palace. How could you still live well?"
The queen continued to ask, and her face looked serious and she didn't look straight.
In fact, when I saw this woman appear, some of the people here were already feeling uneasy.
"Report to the Empress, I have a twin sister with a mother and a compatriot... On the day I left the palace, she came to pick me up. I just arrived at the palace gate and said that I was asking me to wait for me. The master Nian served me and asked me to give me a reward. I was in pain at the time, so I asked my sister to wait at the palace gate. When I went to the toilet... I came back and saw my sister... gone!"
Twin girls! No wonder!
Honeysuckle kept listening quietly. She actually found out that back then, but Yue'er next to Concubine Tong was dead and the clues were cut off.
But she still knew who did it because... she accidentally heard a sentence in Xifei's bedroom.
But there was no evidence at that time, and King Xiling had already become a powerful force.
"Empress, my sister is not sick at all. When I saw it, I was fine. How could I die suddenly? I have been in the palace for many years and knew very well that my sister died for me. After I returned home, I replaced my sister and took my family out of the capital to save my life. Please ask the Empress to investigate!"
If a woman can be found by the queen, she will naturally have a way to let her speak.
"Tell me, who was the one who asked you to steal the bracelet back then, and who did you hand over the bracelet back?"
"It's my teacher's aunt. Thanks to her Buddhist photos in the palace, everyone called her Aunt Cha. I asked at that time, but Aunt Cha didn't say who it was, but only said that she was a master in the palace. I don't have to worry about Guiren Tong's good deeds. They didn't have to worry about Guiren Tong's discovery. They were all arranged. I just took the bracelet and handed it to Aunt Cai in Guiren Wan's palace. I didn't have to worry about anything else, just waiting to take the reward and leave the palace!"
The answer was clear, and these aunts were all from the palace, so you can tell by looking at it.
The queen nodded. She was asking questions in public today, and she must have asked them all in private.
"Emperor, Mother, I have asked someone to find these two aunts. Both aunts are not in the palace. One is dead and the other returns to his hometown to retire after leaving the palace. I have sent someone to search for him. If he is still alive, he should be almost at Kyoto City."
As soon as the queen said something, there was silence in the presence.
It turned out that the queen had been dragging her down for so long to get people.
This queen... Honeysuckle suddenly felt that no woman in this harem really could be underestimated, because you never know how many faces they have and how many hearts they have.
It seems that Huang Qiongyao's two trips to her Wei Mansion were for those who are interested. If she responded, it would be better, and if she did not respond, it would be of great use.
Regardless of whether I want to enter the chess or not, I am always a piece in the queen's hand.
But it's okay. The queen wanted to take the opportunity to overthrow Concubine Xi, and Concubine Xi was indeed the mastermind who killed her aunt, so let's use it.
"I understand. The queen found out that, but she knew who was moving behind her back?"
In silence, the emperor spoke again, and the empress dowager also looked at the empress.
It is indeed puzzling to be a doctor's wife, such a lot of effort.
The emperor's words made the queen dare not sit down. She stood up and knelt down and shook her head gently, "I am stupid. It took so long to find these things, but... the emperor can ask Concubine Xi about that matter. When I checked this Aunt Cha, I found that Aunt Cha's biological mother was the son of the Shen family."
In other words, Aunt Cha also came out of Chen's mansion.
For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Concubine Xi.
Concubine Xi calmed down and then stood up to salute, "I don't know. There are still people in the Chen Mansion who are aunts in the palace, so it's easy to investigate. I'll tell you if I go to Chen Mansion to ask. Even if I'm from Chen Mansion, I don't know about this."
Although everyone thinks it is quite magical, they don’t really believe it.
Why, with Concubine Xi’s background, I need to worry about calculating a doctor’s daughter?
If this doctor offended Concubine Xi, Concubine Xi would find any reason to take the other party's life.
But they didn't know that this ordinary doctor girl in everyone's eyes had fallen into the emperor's eyes.
If you know it, it would be another matter.
Concubine Xi's understatement made her seem to have nothing to do with this matter. Normal people should be a little panicked at this time, but Concubine Xi's face was gone.
"I also think that Concubine Xi cannot do such a thing, just because I am afraid that someone will make trouble by using Concubine Xi's name. It's better to find out at this time. Emperor, I think it's time to ask someone to go to Chen's mansion to ask clearly, so as not to slander Concubine Xi behind the scenes without knowing it."
After speaking to Concubine Xi, the queen turned to face the emperor and sent someone to Chen's mansion to ask questions.
The Shen family is unusual. Even if she is the queen, she dare not come to the door.
Concubine Xi chuckled, as arrogant as ever.
"Emperor, since the queen is considering me so much, I'm going to ask someone over there, and I want to know who is causing trouble behind the scenes." The meaning of this is that someone wants to slander her.
These dramas in the palace are commonplace, and those who are sitting in the words are not surprising.
The Queen and Concubine Xi were not in the first place. The two of them had been fighting for many years. Now that there was such a handle in the hands of the Queen, how could the Queen give up?
The emperor suddenly had a headache, and he had a tight heart and a headache.
"Since the queen and beloved concubine both said so, Gou Xun, come and ask."
Gou Xun's heartbeat was accelerating again. Recently, when the emperor called his name, he felt frightened.
It is obvious that even if it is not Xi Fei behind this incident, there must be some connection. Otherwise, the Queen would not have easily caused trouble with her style of acting.
If this is true, Wei Qinghuan will finally confirm that it was killed by Concubine Xi. What should the emperor do if the emperor dealt with it?
For the sake of a doctor, the emperor will never depose his concubine. Not only can he not depose him, but he cannot punish him too much.
After all, Concubine Xi is one of the four concubines, and behind him is the Shen family, and the most important thing is the King of Xiling.
But the emperor openly asked the queen to investigate that day. Now that it is found out, it is impossible for the emperor to not deal with it.
Gou Xun suddenly felt that the emperor was too difficult.
The queen stood up and sat back, quietly looking at Concubine Xi.
If she didn't know the emperor's thoughts about Wei Qinghuan, it might be useless to have a conclusive evidence this time, but she knew the emperor's thoughts. Even if there was no ironclad evidence, as long as there was a general direction, the emperor's heart would not be as good as before.
The Emperor's heart!
She wants to see it too!
