The female medical concubine of the peasant

Chapter 677 Cooperate with the investigation
After Xuanyuan Che and Wei Qingluan arrived at the place where Concubine De once lived, Wei Qingluan became more and more sad when he saw Xuanyuan Che seeing things and thinking about others.Feeling distressed secretly in my heart, I couldn't help distracting him, so I said I had something to tell him.

Xuanyuan Che would secretly come to the mother concubine's palace to stay for a while during the New Year's Eve.This time, although he brought Wei Qingluan here to say goodbye and talk to Wei Qingluan.But after coming here, I couldn't help but think of the happy life between mother and child when the mother and concubine were still there, and I was immersed in sadness before I knew it.So when he heard Wei Qingluan's words, he waited for a while before slowly speaking, "What's the matter?"

"I think the empress's behavior today is a bit strange." Seeing Xuanyuan Che looking at him, Wei Qingluan told the story that he was in the queen's palace today. Xuanyuanmei wanted the queen to neglect her and wanted to feed the queen snacks, but the queen didn't eat. again.

At first, Xuanyuanche thought that Wei Qingluan was pulling himself to talk just to divert his attention, but the more he listened to him, the more concentrated he became.When he heard that the queen was feeding dim sum to avoid Xuanyuanmei, she turned directly to Wei Qingluan, and said, "Qingluan, you mean that the queen is doing something strange?"

Wei Qingluan nodded, and said, "You think you can investigate, whether the queen's habit was there before or later." She just had a little doubt, so it's better to be on the safe side.It would not be surprising if the queen had refused to eat food brought to her before.But looking at Xuanyuan Mei feeding the queen snacks naturally, it might not have been like that before.If you ate food from other people's hands before and stopped eating it later, there must be a reason.This made Wei Qingluan think of what happened to Concubine De without realizing it.

Could it be because of Concubine De that the Queen no longer trusts anyone?

"You mean, the queen might be behind the mother and concubine's accident?" Xuanyuan Che immediately frowned, trying to recall the events of the year and said: "The emperor ordered people to investigate strictly, and finally found out a person who entered the palace at a wrong time. On a beautiful woman with long hair." He also had doubts about the queen, imagine a beautiful woman who has not been in the palace for a long time, although she was a little favored at the time, but she is harmful to others, and she doesn't have enough ability?Besides, after the death of his mother and concubine, the queen has benefited the most.But it happened that after the investigation of that incident, there was no trace of the Queen.

Later, the beauty was executed, and her family was also implicated.Even more people in the palace were punished. Although the incident was relatively big, it was considered to have a result and it was over.

Now that Wei Qingluan talked about this matter, Xuanyuan Che's suppressed suspicion was suddenly aroused again.

Seeing that Xuanyuan Che became strict because of what he said, he even let go of his hand unconsciously.Wei Qingluan sighed softly, took the initiative to take his hand, and said, "It's been so many years since this incident, it may be very difficult to verify it."

Xuanyuanche also sensed his gaffe, he held Wei Qingluan back and said in a low voice, "But this matter must be investigated carefully." Regarding the death of his mother and concubine, it has been a knot in his heart for so many years. If the concubine finds out the truth of the year and catches the person who really wanted to harm the concubine, he may feel better.

Seeing that he misunderstood himself, Wei Qingluan nodded and said: "I think you should not just investigate by yourself, but tell the fourth prince. After all, he has a wider network."

Xuanyuan Che nodded.As long as he can find out the truth of the year, he is willing to do anything, not to mention just asking for help from his fourth brother who has always been close to him.

"Let's go find Fourth Brother now." He looked at Wei Qingluan, a little impatiently.

"Okay," Wei Qingluan nodded.

In the side hall, when Eunuch Liu heard Wei Qingluan talk about those times in the queen's palace, his heart couldn't help but feel turbulent.When he peeked at the emperor's increasingly calm face, he couldn't help but tremble with fear.He has followed the emperor for so many years, so he naturally knew that this was a sign before the emperor's fury.

At this time, seeing the five princes leaving the courtyard, they gritted their teeth after thinking for a while and said, "Your Majesty, go back, the banquet is about to begin."

The emperor didn't intend to leave. After waiting for a while, he slowly stood up, turned his head to look at Eunuch Liu, and said hoarsely, "Did you hear what Lao Wu said just now?"

"I heard it," Eunuch Liu knelt down on the ground in fright.He has been with the emperor for so many years, although the matter of Concubine De is taboo for the Emperor, but he also knows that the Emperor has never forgotten Concubine De.On the contrary, as time went by, the emperor's nostalgia for Concubine De became deeper.Or it wouldn't be that Concubine De has been vacant all the time, and this courtyard has always maintained the appearance of Concubine De, and the emperor would take time to sit here for a while during festivals.

"That's good." The emperor's eyes turned from Eunuch Liu to the mahogany square table in the room, where Concubine De died of poisoning after eating the cake brought by Xuanyuan Che.He said in a deep voice: "You arrange people to help the fifth prince and the fourth prince Concubine Chad. I want the truth of the year, the sooner the better!" At the end, his words had a bit of gnashing of teeth .Although so many years have passed, if he finds out who is the real mastermind behind the scenes, he will definitely make that person's life worse than death.

"Yes," Eunuch Liu agreed quickly.

Sighing lightly, the emperor walked directly towards the door.Eunuch Liu quickly got up and followed.

The palace's New Year's Eve banquet officially began at the beginning of the Shushi period.

After a cumbersome and complicated ceremony, the emperor and queen took all the officials' families to the seat.

The emperor took the lead and raised his chopsticks to signal everyone to start eating, then turned to look at the queen.

Empress Yin held up her chopsticks gracefully, and suddenly realized that the emperor was looking at her, so she turned her head and smiled at the emperor.But I heard the emperor say: "Queen, you have worked so hard to lead the Liugong, today I want to toast you."

Hearing this, Empress Yin was slightly surprised.The emperor is not the kind of person who overflows emotions, especially as he grows older, and as the battle between the crown prince and the fourth prince becomes increasingly fierce, they haven't even spoken a few heartfelt words for a long time.The enthusiasm he suddenly showed today made her secretly wary.But out of the corner of her eye, she saw the jealous eyes of Concubine Xin Gui and other concubines, the empress smiled even more, but she said: "Your Majesty, those are the duties of concubines."

The emperor smiled, raised his glass to the queen, and drank it down.

Seeing this, the queen quickly raised her cup to greet her, and then took a sip.

The emperor put down his wine glass, and said casually to Eunuch Liu, who was waiting behind him, "This golden jade cake is the queen's favorite, take it to the queen." After speaking, he turned to look at the officials in the audience.
