Zhangjia Jinzhi

Chapter 147 Joint Force
Concubine Xian is wearing a peach pink embroidered silver brocade dress today, probably because she has never given birth, Concubine Xian's figure is slim and her appearance is the most outstanding among all the concubines.

She glanced at the palace servants who were kneeling all over the floor, and bowed down to the queen:

"All blessings, empress, all sisters, well..."

The queen glanced at her complicatedly, with an alienated politeness on her face, asked the maid to grant a seat for Concubine Xian, and asked softly:
"How is your health? Why are you free today?"

Concubine Xian glanced at the queen, lowered her eyelids and said:
"Thank you, empress, for your concern, my concubine is well... I just heard that something happened in Yaohua Palace, so I came here to have a look."

The queen nodded, thought for a while, and said:

"Since Concubine Xian has heard about this, what do you think should be done?"

Everyone's eyes could not help but fall on Concubine Xian.

Concubine Xian stroked the pearl hairpin beside her temples, took a look at Concubine Jin, and said with a smile:

"According to my concubine, it's likely that Sister Jinfei was framed by someone..."

"Where is the reason for someone to attack your own palace? Isn't this obviously making people dirty?"

As soon as these words came out, Concubine Lan's face immediately changed.

Concubine Jin's eyes lit up suddenly, she nodded in agreement and said:
"Sister Concubine Xian understands it! This innocent disaster has fallen on the head of the concubine, and the concubine really can't argue..."

Concubine Xian smiled gently, and waved her hand at Concubine Jin, signaling her to be calm, and continued:
"The incident of Concubine Jing's throwing into the well back then was witnessed by a maidservant in the palace, and the Empress Dowager personally broke it..."

"This Pei Zhaoyi has a heart-to-heart, and she should be open and honest to explain to the empress, but she used this as a cover, arbitrarily ordered the princess's meal, and spread rumors maliciously in order to frame Concubine Jin. It is disrespectful. The empress should be severely punished..."

"Let's talk about Xu Liangyuan's death... According to the concubine, it may not be framed by others, perhaps it has something to do with Pei Zhaoyi..."

"These two live in the side hall adjacent to the Yaohua Palace. If Pei Zhaoyi makes any common noises, I'm afraid most of them won't be able to avoid Xu Liangyuan's eyes and ears...Perhaps it's because Pei Zhaoyi killed the princess first because she was afraid that the matter of pretending to be a ghost to scare the princess would be revealed. It may not be possible to come to the queen to cry after leaving Xu Liangyuan..."

After hearing the words, everyone felt that Concubine Xian's words made some sense.

After all, Pei Zhaoyi had tampered with the princess's meal, and she had personally admitted it... How could it be such a coincidence that her talent was caught by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and she ran to the queen to confess her guilt, but Xu Liangyuan, who was next to her, died at this time... …

This matter is strange!
Concubine Xiao Gui glanced at Concubine Xian calmly, without saying a word.

Concubine Lan couldn't sit still anymore, she poked her neck and said:
"Sister Concubine Xian's words are probably covering everything!"

"It's not a good thing for me to say, if Pei Zhaoyi has the guts to kill someone, I'll let her live in Yaohua Palace for so many years. If she really has the intention to kill someone, I'm afraid that sister Jinfei would have died ten thousand times... Why is it so devious to add such a good medicinal material to the princess's meal?"

"Furthermore, she is only a mere Zhaoyi. Where did she get the ability to avoid so many eyeliners in Yaohua Palace, and drown Xu Liangyuan in the well without anyone noticing?"

"Speaking of which... there are only a handful of people who can act like this in Yaohua Palace..."

After saying that, Concubine Lan glanced at the distraught Concubine Jin, the meaning behind her words was self-evident.

"you--!"

Seeing that Concubine Jin was about to make trouble, the queen coughed, and everyone looked over with restrained breath.

"According to all the younger sisters...how can we understand this matter now?"

The queen watched the endless battles in the harem, showing exhaustion on her face.

"Empress, my concubine has a way..."

Concubine Xian scolded Concubine Lan, her face remained unchanged, she still smiled and said to the Queen:

"I heard that at noon today, Lu Xiao, the son of Marquis of Changping, won the first prize in one fell swoop. What a hero!..."

Before Concubine Xian could finish her sentence, Concubine Xiao Gui suddenly looked over vigilantly, her brows were not friendly.

Sure enough, Concubine Xian glanced at Concubine Xiao's cold face, and continued:
"The Jinwu Guards were originally responsible for guarding the harem, and I heard that today Pei Zhaoyi's minions were also captured by Colonel Lu... According to my concubine, this matter may as well be investigated by Captain Lu at his discretion, and there is no need to disturb the Dali Temple It's..."

As soon as Concubine Xian finished speaking, Concubine Jin agreed and said:

"Empress, my concubine will reconsider! Lieutenant Lu is young and promising, and I have left this matter in his hands, so my concubine has nothing to say!"

The queen nodded, and then looked at Concubine Lan and Concubine Xiao.

"What do the two sisters say?"

Concubine Lan thought for a moment, as long as this matter does not fall into the hands of Concubine Jin herself, it will be fine!Besides, Xiaowei Lu is the nephew of Concubine Xiao Gui's direct relative, can he still be able to be concubine Jin?

Thinking of this, Concubine Lan readily said:
"The concubine has no objection, everything is up to the empress!"

Concubine Xiao Gui glanced at Concubine Xian with deep eyes, and could only nod in response.

That being the case, the queen ordered someone to announce Lu Xiao's audience.

Lu Xiao was sweating a lot today, just took a shower, and was resting at the Lingyun Pavilion of the Jinwu Guard Command Post to drink tea.Hearing the call from the empress, she hurriedly put on the golden armor again and rushed to Qiwu Palace.

When I arrived at the inner palace, I saw a room full of concubines and maids, and my heart began to murmur.

After he saluted, the queen explained to him one by one what happened today, and said that he would hand over the case to him for a thorough investigation, Lu Xiao frowned.

He's not good at this gang of old girls fighting in their nests, you have to find Li Taiwei for this matter!

If he followed his temperament, wouldn't it be enough to kill all those involved?Let's see who dare not stop in the future!

"What? You don't want to?"

Seeing his displeasure, the queen frowned.

Concubine Xiao Gui hurriedly winked at Lu Xiao, telling him not to act recklessly.

Lu Xiao was silent for a moment, then cupped his fists towards the queen and said:

"I dare not!"

"However... Princess Chonghua was on the alert for today's incident, and only then did she discover Pei Zhaoyi's flaws... I dare not take the credit alone..."

"Empress, this matter is related to the family members of the harem. I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for me to do things... If the empress agrees, can I ask Princess Chonghua to assist me in a thorough investigation?"

As soon as Lu Xiao said this, everyone looked at the queen with subtle expressions.

Although His Majesty deliberately concealed the fact that Marquis Lu entered the palace to ask for a marriage, is there any impenetrable wall in the world?What's more, in this deep inner courtyard, there can be three feet of waves without wind!
Everyone just pretended not to know because they cared about the queen's face.

Sure enough, the queen's face became a little more serious.

Concubine Xiao Gui glanced at Lu Xiao, stood up and said:
"Empress, what Captain Lu said makes sense!"

"Princess Chonghua is smart and courageous, but she has a bit of Li Xiang's shadow. Besides, the princess and Princess Changping have played together since childhood, and the love is no different than ordinary people. If you leave it in her hands, the empress and the princess should be more at ease! "

After hearing Concubine Xiao's words, the queen's brows relaxed a bit.Can't help thinking of Li Taiwei giving up his life to protect Changping that day, and today it's because of her that he captured Pei Zhaoyi...

"Alright, this matter is up to you!"

The queen finally let go, and Lu Xiao also slowly breathed a sigh of relief, the joy in his eyes couldn't be concealed.

When the servant rushed to Prince Rui's mansion to read the Queen's order, Li Taiwei's eyes lighted up faintly.

This old man... in the end, he still has to rely on her...
