Chapter 253

"Since he confessed to the Queen of Changle Palace, go and invite her over," Pao'er ordered. "If this matter is really as he said, I can't handle it without permission. Please invite several empresses and Concubine Chun to come over." After all, there must be witnesses, and there must be victims.”

After a while, all the people who should be invited were invited. Everyone came to Ruihua Hall and asked about what happened. After coming in, they saw the little eunuch kneeling in the middle like that, so they didn't dare to say anything. I just said hello to the poor boy and found a chair to sit down on.

Chunya's palace was far away from Ruihua Palace, and she came later than others. When she entered the palace, she saw the pauper sitting in the middle. This was the first time she had met the pauper since she entered the palace. Although she was reluctant, Despite his status, he still gave her a gift.

"Concubine Chun, is your face feeling better?" Pao'er didn't think there was anything wrong.

"Much better." After Chunya answered, she found a seat and sat down.
Only Zhihui came with anger. Originally, she was in charge of the palace, so she was reluctant to come to Ruihua Palace. On the way, she heard that someone accused her of poisoning, and she was even more angry. Sitting obediently, I feel even more embarrassing

"I wonder what sister wants from me?" Zhihui asked knowingly, with a clear temper in her tone and face.
"Oh, sister, come and sit quickly." Pao'er pointed to the seat next to him and motioned for Zhihui to sit there.

"Why are you all here? What terrible thing happened?" Zhihui asked as she went to sit down.
When Pao'er saw Zhihui sitting down, he smiled and said, "I've been asking you all to come out this morning. I wonder if you've already had breakfast?"

Naturally, everyone replied that they had used it
"There's something happening today that I can't decide on, so I thought of asking all the sisters to come over and listen to it, and let me give you some advice." The pauper paused, took a sip of tea, and when no one answered, he continued, " This slave, he said that Concubine Chun was poisoned by him. Originally speaking of this, I could deal with a slave, but he said that you ordered him to go there, my sister, so I can't deal with it at will. , I also want to ask my sister to come over and see if this slave is really from your palace?"

When Zhihui heard this, she immediately got angry. She stood up and walked up to the little eunuch and slapped him twice. "Have you had enough of your life? You dare to spread rumors about me. When will I instruct you to go there?" Did you poison Concubine Chun?"

The little eunuch was a little confused by her beating for a while. He didn't know how to reply and just sat on the ground in a daze.

Concubine Yu, who said little about one thing, suddenly said, "What's going on, Queen? If this matter really has nothing to do with you, don't be anxious. You have to ask about things one by one. Your Highness is asking you, who is this palace servant?" In the palace, just answer yes or no."

"You?" Zhihui glared at Concubine Yu angrily. She didn't expect why she, who was usually submissive, would dare to talk to her like this. "How dare you question me like this? Who do you think you are? Your father doesn't even have an official rank. She’s just a merchant’s daughter, why do you think so?”

"Your Majesty, I just want your Majesty to get rid of the suspicion as soon as possible. Why is my life experience involved?" Yu Guifei said, "If we talk about personal affairs, my father is still a serious businessman. What is your identity? The former princess. ? Your father was still a rebel before he died. Now you can still be powerful in this palace. It’s because of His Majesty’s mercy."

"What did you say? Who died? My father died?" Zhihui only now knew that her father had died in Lingjiu Temple.
"What about your father? What you said is a bit treasonous. He is just an old monk." Concubine Yu said again, "Since the Queen cannot answer these questions, then call some old ladies around her." , you’ll know just by asking.”

So, someone went to Changle Palace and brought several distinguished palace maids.
Zhihui has not yet recovered from the news of the death of the previous emperor.
But the pauper was somewhat impressed by the imperial concubine. Where did she come from?Why does she, who is a calm and low-key person, look so strong today? There is even some uncontrollable excitement in her eyes.

Seeing several people kneeling on the ground, the poor man could only ask them first, "Look at this little eunuch carefully. Is he a member of your palace?" What's the matter? I just asked, and wanted to show my diligence, so I hurriedly answered.
"You said it was the Queen who asked you to poison me?" Pao'er asked the young palace man again.

"Yes" The little palace man has slowly woken up at this time

"The Queen is here now. She said she did not instruct you to poison. What do you say?" Pao'er asked again.

"Your Highness, there are some people who will admit to themselves when they have done bad things. What is a slave? Life is already cheap. How can a slave have the ability to harm others? If the queen hadn't asked the slave to do it and borrowed a hundred courage from the slave, the slave would I definitely don’t dare to do it,” the little eunuch shouted
"Sister, did you hear what he said?" Paoer asked Zhihui again.
"Me?" Zhihui was already confused. "He, I, I didn't. Why should I harm Concubine Chun?"

"Aren't you angry that I can live in the Changping Hall? Are you angry that I can accompany His Majesty every day? Aren't you already wishing that my face would be ruined?" Concubine Chun stood up and said what Zhihui was saying. All said

"Your Highness!" I saw the little eunuch yelling, "If this slave tells a lie, I will let the slave kill the whole family. The Queen has long wanted to kill the slave and silence him. He has been hiding in Tibet these days. Anyway, the Queen is there." Once you die, you will die if you are caught now. Do you still need to tell lies? Today, I will die to prove that what I said is true. Please protect your family and your family."

After the little eunuch said this, he rushed towards a pillar in the palace and died there in one hit.
Several empresses in the palace stood up from their chairs in shock.

Pao'er even frowned and let out a long sigh, "What do you say?"

Xia Jinzhi had long wished that Zhihui was dead, so naturally he would not speak for her. "If she hadn't done it, why would a good person bite her to death and would rather die than testify against her?"

"You!" Zhihui pointed at Xia Jinzhi angrily, wanting to eat her
"I just ask Your Highness to make the decision for me and give me justice," Chunya said

The others were so shocked by the little eunuch's death that they had long forgotten what to say.

When they were in a stalemate and didn't know what to do, the guards in the palace suddenly sent someone, who was also a palace official from Changle Palace. The eunuch looked a bit old. Although he was older, he was still tall and tall. He is an old man who has been in Changle Palace for many years. He seems to have some status.

"Who is this?" The poor man saw that the old eunuch had injuries on his body. He must have been tortured.
"Your Highness, this is the eunuch in charge of Changle Palace," the guard replied.

"Chief steward of Changle Palace? Why are you in such a mess?" Pao'er saw that he must have been beaten badly, and there must be something inside.
"Back to Your Highness, this man was secretly brought back by Mr. Gao from Changle Palace for interrogation shortly after Concubine Yan passed away. Changle Palace must have been looking for him for some time." The guard arrived again.
"What did you catch him for?"
