Chapter 615 The Emperor's Attitude
Deputy Xia Si looked at Li Mei'er with a half-smile, and said slowly, "None of the people who entered our Prison Division can kill themselves."

Li Mei'er was stared at by his pair of old eyes, the hairs all over her body couldn't help standing on end, she lowered her head even lower, and said in a muffled voice: "I just want you to take care of me, my lord. After all, the Ying Concubine has a special status, if something really happens, it's not easy for you to explain it to His Majesty."

"Okay, I see." Deputy Xia Si looked at Li Mei'er deeply for a while before casually replying.

After Li Meier's words came to this point, Deputy Xia Si should be more careful. In addition, Song Ziying herself was on guard. If the queen really wanted to send someone to kill her, it shouldn't be so easy.

When Li Meier returned to Luhua Palace, it was already noon.

Zhou Hanhan is having lunch.

Zhou Hanyu was also given lunch naturally, but she had Li Meier in her heart, so she had no appetite at all.

Seeing that Li Meier came back safely, Zhou Hanju finally breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that she was the same as when she went there, there was no difference, and the expression on her face was finally relieved.

Zhou Hanhan was no longer in the mood to eat at this time, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and rinsed his mouth with clean water.Looking at Li Mei'er, she asked, "How is it? Is Concubine Ying willing to let go?"

"Your Majesty, don't be impatient. You sent someone to the Prison Department to meet Concubine Ying. I think the news will reach the Queen's ears soon. Then you send the maids and eunuchs to spread some rumors, saying that Concubine Ying has died. I'm going to tell the person behind the scenes, so I'm afraid the empress will soon be unable to sit still."

Zhou Hanhan looked at Li Meier, and asked with a half-smile, "Do you know that the queen has been grounded by the emperor?"

Li Mei'er lowered her head and replied: "The daughter of the people knows that it's just that the queen has been in charge of the harem for so many years, and the power of her connections should not be underestimated. How does the empress know that she has no staff in the prison department?"

After all, even Zhou Hanhan has connections in the prison department, let alone the queen.

"The queen may not believe it, and the shadow concubine is the queen's niece and niece after all." Zhou Hanhan continued to speak leisurely.

"In the past, the Queen might not have believed it." Li Meier continued, "But now, I don't think the Queen will let things go against her."

After all, Empress Song has lost all credibility with the old emperor. The old emperor may have concerns about what happened back then, and it is difficult to bring it to light, but if the crime of murdering the emperor's heir is confirmed this time, the emperor can justifiably abolish the empress.

Zhou Hanhan thought for a moment, the corners of her lips raised slightly, she looked at Li Meier, her eyes were full of admiration, "Meier is right, when I was young, I thought you were smarter than ordinary little girls, now it seems that I really saw the right person .”

"I don't dare to be a housewife." Li Meier responded respectfully, without the slightest complacency.

"You did a good job today, what do you want me to reward you?" Zhou Hanhan seemed to be in a much better mood, and asked Li Meier, looking at Li Meier in a more comfortable posture.

Li Meier was waiting for this question, and immediately said: "The woman hopes that the imperial concubine can help Yan nobleman come out from the prison department. Yan nobleman is weak, and I'm afraid she won't be able to bear the punishment from the prison department."

Li Meier felt chills when she thought of Song Ziying's injuries, she was very afraid that Zhou Yuyan would also suffer so many tortures like her.

"Don't worry, I've asked His Majesty for a long time. The prison officer can only interrogate Lady Yan, but cannot punish her. Apart from being frightened, she is fine. When Song Ziying recruits, she will be able to do so." Come out. At that time, I will use her fright as an excuse to beg His Majesty to give her another promotion, after all, she is my niece and niece, so how could I not take care of her?"

"Thank you, ma'am." Li Meier heaved a sigh of relief.Even though Zhou Yuyan couldn't get out, knowing that she didn't suffer anything, he was half relieved.

"It's getting late, the housewife and aunt will leave the palace first." Li Meier said she didn't want to stay in the palace any longer, so she said goodbye.

"Don't worry, let's go after lunch. You have done me a great favor today. How can I not even stay for a meal?" Zhou Hanhan did not allow Li Meier to refuse, so he called Wei Wei. Zi came in and set meals for Li Meier.

Li Mei'er had no choice but to bite the bullet and stay for dinner, this meal was really tasteless, she ate most of the food on the table before getting up to leave again.

This time Zhou Hanhan didn't keep them anymore.Ask Li Meier to change into the same clothes she wore when she returned, and order Wei Zi to lead them out.

It wasn't until he walked out of the palace gate that Zhou Hanyu's tense face relaxed a little.

She pulled Li Meier into the carriage, and said with a long sigh of relief: "Today is finally safe and sound. When I was waiting for you, I was always worried that something would happen to you. When you came back later, I was afraid that Zhou Hanhan would go crazy. .”

Li Meier put her hand on Zhou Hanyu's, and comforted with a smile: "Don't worry, Auntie, Concubine Yun... I will definitely not go crazy in a short time. Don't look at her calm surface now, she is also very panicked in her heart. We want to overthrow Empress Song earlier, otherwise when the old emperor leaves and the crown prince succeeds, Empress Song will take care of her first."

"If you can really bring down the queen this time, then that's fine. You and Shanqing don't have to worry about it all day long, just be on guard." Zhou Hanyu sighed again and said sadly.

"Yes..." Li Meier echoed with a chuckle, based on her understanding of Queen Song these days, she would not keep Song Ziying such a big deal.

Not long after Li Meier left the palace, the old emperor went to Luhua Palace.

Zhou Hanhan had just fallen asleep, and when he heard the emperor coming, he immediately got up to greet him.

"My concubine, please lie down." The emperor walked into the bedroom and directly avoided Zhou Hanhan's salute.

"Why is Your Majesty here now? You should have a good rest in the afternoon." Zhou Hanhan's face was full of joy, and he still said very considerate words on his mouth.

"I miss Aifei in my heart, so I want to come and have a look. I heard that Aifei has a visitor just now?" The old emperor asked seemingly unintentionally.

"It's nobleman Yan's direct aunt. Knowing that she has entered the prison department, she begged me to come here." Zhou Hanhan replied with a normal expression, without any intention of hiding.

"You still sent people into the prison department?" The old emperor asked again, looking at Zhou Hanhan with some scrutiny in his eyes.

This time, Zhou Hanhan's expression finally changed, and she was about to stand up and apologize in a panic.

"Your Majesty forgive me, the concubine violated the rules, and the concubine made her own decision, please punish the concubine, Your Majesty!" Zhou Hanhan was about to kneel down as he spoke.

The emperor didn't help her immediately, and only after she staggered to kneel on the ground did he reach out to support her shoulders.
