Six years later, the princess came back with three cubs

Chapter 116 Tracking down the people behind the scenes
"Who is it? If I stand up, I can still spare her from death. If I find out, I will definitely teach her to regret it!"

All the concubines were silent, and everyone was in danger.

Even Concubine Zhao Gui, who always liked to contradict the queen, kept silent at this moment, for fear of getting angry.

However, Imperial Concubine Zhao wanted to avoid it, so how could the Empress let go of this great opportunity.

"Concubine Zhao, what do you say?"

Concubine Zhao's eyelids twitched, she said with a dry smile: "Empress, this matter has nothing to do with my concubine."

The queen looked at her coldly, "It doesn't matter? Then what do you want to bring so many people to Ganlu Hall this late at night?"

Concubine Zhao wiped the sweat from her nose with a silk handkerchief, and said with a light smile, "It's almost dog days, it's so hot that I can't sleep at night, so my concubine called a few sisters to enjoy the flowers in the imperial garden for recreation, and walked around I heard two maidservants whispering, saying that Mu Ning came to the Ganlu Palace alone, trying to seduce the emperor, and the concubines rushed over with their people as soon as they heard that it was okay."

After finishing speaking, Yao Jieyu and several concubines immediately agreed and confirmed her.

"Which palace are those two maidservants from?"

"It's too dark, the concubine didn't see her face clearly, Yao Jieyu, did you see clearly?"

Yao Jieyu and several concubines shook their heads quickly, saying they didn't see clearly.

The queen snorted coldly, "Concubine Zhao, you are considered an old man in the palace, how could you be so reckless in doing things, and let people go without checking?"

"The empress taught me that the concubine was angry at the time and only wanted to take down the bitch who wanted to seduce the emperor. She didn't take down the maid who was gossiping in time. It was because the concubine didn't think carefully. I will pay attention next time."

Concubine Zhao responded without revealing anything, and the queen had nothing to do with her for a while, so she could only pin her hopes on Mu Ning.

"Muning, do you still remember what the maid who brought you to Ganlu Palace looked like?"

"remember."

"Alright then, Liu Zhaoyi, call all the maidservants of your Ganlu Hall together and let Mu Ning identify them."

Liu Zhaoyi showed hesitation, "Empress, what if the palace maid is not from the concubine's palace?"

"Then gather all the servants in the whole palace and look for them one by one. I don't believe I can't find anyone!"

Concubine Zhao yawned lazily, and said with emotion, "I'm afraid I won't be able to find Tianming all the time."

The empress looked around the concubines coldly, with a gleam of fire in her eyes, "I can't find out about this matter, no one is going to leave tonight!"

Concubine Zhao frowned slightly, and in the next second she returned to her nonchalant attitude.

"Then check it out. If you dare to plot against the emperor, you really can't be lightly forgiven. I don't know what's going on with the emperor. I'll go and have a look at it. I'll make it through tonight."

After finishing speaking, Concubine Zhao got up straight and entered the side hall.

The queen frowned displeasedly, but did not make a sound to stop it.

Concubine Zhao only went to the side hall and did not leave. She expected that Concubine Zhao would not be able to play tricks, not to mention that the emperor was still asleep and there was no one around to serve him.

Thinking of this, the Queen ordered the maid beside her, "Go and call Fan Da."

"It's strange to say, why didn't the people serving the emperor see any of them?"

"These servants and guards neglected their duties and caused the emperor to be tricked. They should be punished with serious crimes. Let's respect you!"

The concubines criticized the emperor's servants for taking care of them badly, and Mu Ning also felt strange in his heart.

Judging from the performance of the palace maid who lured her into the trap, the scheming person must have a low status and act in a hurry, but he has the ability to send away all the servants around the emperor.

In such a contradictory situation, there is only one possibility, and the people behind the scenes have helpers.

They each perform their duties, one is aimed at her, and the other is aimed at the queen who is above the phoenix position.

Looking at the vacant seat on the lower left of the queen, Mu Ning had a vague guess in his heart.

Fan Da arrived soon, with a panicked expression, beads of sweat rolled down his face, and he seemed to be quite frightened.

As soon as he entered the door, he knelt down with a thud, "The servant is late, please forgive me, the empress."

The queen glared at him angrily, "As the chief servant, why don't you serve the emperor well?"

Fan Da hurriedly kowtowed, "Queen empress, please calm down, Xiao Xiuzi is on duty tonight, Xiao Xiuzi has never made any mistakes in serving the emperor, and I don't know what happened today, the servants have already sent someone to find Xiao Xiuzi. "

As soon as the words fell, there was a message from a palace attendant outside the door, "Report to the empress, Xiaoxiuzi has been found."

The queen's face became even more angry, "Let him get out!"

Xiao Xiuzi felt good too, knowing that she had made a big mistake, she didn't dare to leave, but crawled all the way into the hall on her knees.

"Slaves deserve to die! Slaves deserve to die!"

Fan Da stretched out his foot and kicked over, kicking Xiao Xiuzi directly on his back.

"You silly bastard, I told you to serve the emperor well, where did you die?"

Xiao Xiuzi didn't care about crying out for the pain, so she knelt down again immediately, and explained in a panic: "I don't know what's going on, but I got a stomachache as soon as I entered the Ganlu Hall, and I left after complaining to the emperor."

"What about the servants in the other palaces? The emperor is a majestic king of a country, and he has no one to serve and escort him. If something happens to the emperor, I will punish you and the nine clans, believe it or not?"

Xiao Xiuzi was so frightened that she kept kowtowing, "Queen empress, calm down, when the slaves leave, there will be someone waiting on the emperor's side."

At this time, the female officials of Changchun Palace brought several maidservants and guards who served the emperor into the palace.

After some interrogation, it turned out that the emperor felt a little tired and wanted to sleep for a while, so he asked the palace servants to wait outside the palace and not to come in to disturb him.

The palace maids and guards waited outside the hall for a while, and someone came over to spread the word, saying that Liu Zhaoyi rewarded them with the rice noodles.

The guards didn't want to go at first, but the messenger said that another team of guards would be sent to take over, so the guards left for the banquet in peace.

"Empress, this matter has nothing to do with this concubine. I didn't know in advance that the emperor was coming to the Ganlu Hall, so how could I arrange a table in advance to reward the guards and maids?"

"That's right, the emperor is most afraid of the heat. Even if he came to rest in Liu Zhaoyi's Palace, he should go to the Floating Bishui Pavilion. Why did he come to the Ganlu Palace?"

After interrogating Xiao Xiuzi and the palace attendants, the truth finally came to light.

The reason why the emperor came to Ganlu Palace was because someone passed a message to the emperor through Xiao Xiuzi, saying that Liu Zhaoyi was not feeling well, and begged the emperor to visit him for a while.

Emperor Dongfeng has always loved Liu Zhaoyi, and when he heard that she was ill, he put down the government affairs at hand and came to Ganlu Hall.

When he arrived at Ganlu Hall, Emperor Dongfeng didn't see Liu Zhaoyi's person, so he sent a palace attendant to look for it.

Someone later lit the incense in the palace. Under the influence of the incense, Emperor Dongfeng thought he was tired, so he pushed back the maids and guards, intending to take a nap.

Unexpectedly, the palace maids and guards were called away by tricks, but Mu Ning was led into the Ganlu Hall.

Everything was calculated perfectly, but the people behind the scenes underestimated Mu Ning's medical skills.
