After crossing, I was dragged by the bamboo horse and became a queen

Chapter 293 Ready-made witnesses

"Eunuch He," Xiao Jingheng frowned, and walked over with a serious face: "What did you just say? There are two women inside, Miss Chen Jiu and her maidservant, both with the emperor?"

It was a very civilized question, but everyone present understood what it meant.He Baogui nodded in embarrassment, not daring to look up at the expressions of the queen and prince.

"That's not right..." After hearing He Guigui's answer, Xiao Jingheng frowned more tightly, his face was extremely cautious, he turned to Empress Chen and said: "Mother, this matter is too strange. I'm afraid there are other inside stories, mother , I will conduct a thorough investigation immediately after my son invites his mother."

Empress Chen closed her eyes.Covering the despair and coldness in the eyes.She knew that Concubine Lin Gui and Xiao Jingheng didn't intend to leave her with any escape route.

"Yes, ma'am," this time there was no need for concubine Lin Gui to jump out and beat the side drum, the large group of concubines brought by Empress Chen all nodded in agreement: "The prince is right, ma'am, today's matter is really too serious." It's too strange. It's about Sheng Jia's safety, and I hope that the empress will not ignore it."

After listening to Xiao Jingheng's words, Wei Cairen was the most nervous person present. The incident happened in her palace. If there is a real problem, she will be the first to suffer, so she can't wait to find out what's going on , so that you can pick yourself up clearly.

"Eunuch He," Wei Cairen immediately asked, "Boss Qi and you came from the imperial study with the emperor, right? What happened at that time, you have to explain clearly in front of the empress. "

"The slave doesn't know what's going on..." He Baogui looked very innocent: "The empress sent a message to the imperial study, saying that the imperial concubine and Wei Cairen quarreled again because of the previous incident in the Shou'an Palace Well, it was said that the imperial concubine was looking for life and death in the Wanchun Palace, but the empress couldn’t stop her. The emperor got angry when he heard that, so he brought the servants over.”

When Wei Cairen heard this, he turned to look at Empress Chen with a puzzled expression.Concubine Lin Gui came over, she really didn't expect it, the two of them did choke again at first, but later Concubine Lin Gui said that the empress punished her for thinking about her mistakes, and she accepted the punishment, so she came here to apologize.

Wei Cairen gained the upper hand, a little reluctant, the two exchanged a few more words, just in time for Wang Fengchun to come over, they directly opened one side and closed the other, that's all.Who is looking for death and life? !

"There is no one in this palace looking for death or life." Concubine Lin Gui also had a puzzled expression on her face: "Could it be that Wang Fengchun sent the letter to the emperor? The empress is not here, so how do you know how Wei Cairen and I are?"

"Slave..." Wang Fengchun, who was with Empress Chen, knelt down on his knees. He really wanted to argue, but Empress Chen glanced over, and Wang Fengchun shut his mouth abruptly, bowed his head and stopped talking.

"Go ahead and talk about it later." Wei Cairen hurriedly asked: "Why... why did the emperor..."

"When we came, there were only palace people sweeping the front yard." He Guigui scratched his head, "Be quiet, the emperor went directly into the main hall, and then saw Miss Chen Jiu and her maid inside, and then... Empress! This servant really doesn't know what's going on, the emperor ordered this servant to come out, but this servant dared not stay any longer, and didn't see anything."

"Eunuch He," Xiao Jingheng, who spoke at the right time, asked, "Think about it carefully, whether you have come all the way from the Imperial Study Room today, and after you entered the Wanchun Palace, is there anything unusual?"

"Unusual..." He Baogui pretended to think hard, and then replied: "There is nothing beside it, but when the emperor came here today, the main hall of Wanchun Palace had its doors and windows closed. The slaves are so strange! The slaves these days I often accompany the emperor to Wanchun Palace, and we all know that Wei Niangniang is afraid of heat, and in this kind of weather, she likes to keep the doors and windows open."

"The doors and windows are closed?" Wei Cairen frowned, and turned to look at Concubine Lin Gui: "Madam, when you came, the doors and windows of the concubines were all open, did you see that?"

"Look, I saw it," Lin Guifei replied, "but later my palace was locked up by Wang Fengchun to the side hall. When the emperor came, I couldn't tell whether the doors and windows were open or closed."

"Is there anything else unusual?" Xiao Jingheng's face became even more serious: "Eunuch He, this matter is very important, please think about it carefully."

"Besides..." He Guigui scratched his head: "At that time, the master ordered the slave to push the door. When the slave just opened the door, he didn't think anything was wrong. It was the master who accompanied the emperor into the house. Oh, yes, the empress's room There was incense in it, and I didn't smell it when I opened the door, but it wafted out later, the smell was very strange, it smelled... um... the slave couldn't tell, when the master finished serving the emperor, the empress can ask the master herself."

"Strange?" Wei Cairen was even more stunned: "But the palace only uses rosin and rue in summer, in order to prevent insects..."

"That's right," Lu Zhaoyi nodded, "Everyone knows that Wei Cairen is afraid of heat, and only uses some refreshing incense in summer. Rosin and rue are common spices, so how can they smell strange. "

"Could it be that there is something wrong with the incense?" Concubine Li interjected, "The emperor is so out of order today, in Wei Cairen's palace, he favored two women in one breath. And one of them is..."

She glanced at Empress Chen, but did not dare to continue.

"Miss Concubine Li is right." Xiao Jingheng nodded seriously: "This matter needs to be thoroughly investigated. I would like to ask you all to be wronged for a while, and please don't leave until the father comes out to ask questions. Wei Niang, please Please send the palace maid to deliver clothes to Miss Chen Jiu and her maid. Eunuch He..."

"The slave is here." He Baogui immediately nodded in response.

"Please send a message to Director Qi," Xiao Jingheng continued, "Let him send someone to find Commander Mo, and if he asks again, I won't send the people around me to deliver the news. When something like this happens, in this yard It is better for everyone not to leave at will, so as not to be confused when you get it. In addition, tell Director Qi again, and send a message to the emperor's grandmother, and trouble the emperor's grandmother to come and preside over the overall situation. "

"The slave knows." He Baogui nodded cleverly, turned around and entered the main hall of Wanchun Palace.After listening to Xiao Jingheng's orderly instructions, the other concubines seemed to have found their backbone, and sat back on their chairs obediently, waiting for the emperor to come out.

He Baogui went into the house, and soon came out again, Qi Zhengrong ordered him to personally deliver the news to Mo Chenfeng and the Queen Mother.

so best.Satisfied, Xiao Jingheng went back to the corridor to enjoy the shade.Whoever does the job of spreading the word is of no value.

He Baogui naturally knew how to speak in front of Mo Chenfeng and the Empress Dowager.

　——Here is the dividing line for the little eunuch——
　　Xiao Hengheng had arranged the witnesses long ago, and the confession was neat and tidy.He Baogui worked for Xiao Hengheng, and even Concubine Lin Gui didn't know about it.
