Second spring

The Queen Mother heard the words with a warning look in her eyes, and said sharply: "You are not allowed to mention this again. You must be honest with me, and you are not allowed to go anywhere!" She did not allow Wei Wei to say anything, and directly ordered: "Bi Hai, you Take the magistrate down and have a good talk with her in the room."

"Yes." Bi Hai responded and invited Wei Wei.

Wei Wei saw that the Empress Empress looked stern, with a non-negotiable attitude, so she had no choice but to follow Bi Hai, and reluctantly went down, her eyes were still moving around flexibly.

After she left, Liu Yun reminded: "Your Majesty..."

The empress gave a long sigh and said, "Send me to Nianfu Palace."

Nianfu Palace.

The ceremonial guard of the phoenix was unfurled, and everyone prostrated and knelt down.

The queen looked at the scene solemnly and did not speak, and no one dared to speak.

"Your servant has seen the Empress." Eunuch Quan Hai, the chief eunuch of Qianqing Palace saluted the Empress, and said: "The emperor ordered that this matter should be handled by the Empress at her sole discretion. Ask about the reason. Your Majesty will not come here." After finishing speaking, he stepped aside, This is to witness what happened to the Queen.

The queen felt relieved.

Not long after, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager also only sent their head and face nanny over, expressing their intention of not interfering with the Empress's affairs.

Only then did the queen open her mouth and said, "Li Taipin."

Li Yueying's body trembled, and said: "The concubine is here, I have seen the empress."

She didn't see Wei Wei beside the queen, which made her feel a little uncertain.But thinking about Zhao Anmin's death, even the Empress Dowager who raised her didn't come to check on her in person, presumably Zhao Anmin was extremely despised, and felt relieved.

The queen empress and Wei Wei are cousins.She will definitely help the county master cover it up.

Think so.Li Yueying's heart settled down, and she quickly went over her planned speech silently. She didn't find any mistakes, and felt that there was a lot to be done, so she regained her composure and knelt down respectfully.

The queen stared at Li Yueying silently for a while, and then said: "You keep talking about Bodhisattva... So, when Mrs. Song left, you were by the side?"

Zhao Anmin is no longer a member of the royal family.But she is still Song Jie's legitimate wife.

"Yes." Li Yueying said respectfully: "After the morning class. The concubine recognized Mrs. Song, so she wanted to inquire about the concubine's family affairs... The empress knows that the concubine is in the deep palace, and the news is blocked. A while ago, I heard that my brother offended Si Princess Yue was dismissed, but specifically..."

"Wait a minute." The queen interrupted Li Yueying's explanation.Su Mian asked: "Who are you, Mrs. Song was sane at that time?"

"Yes." Li Yueying showed some doubts on her face, as if she didn't know why the queen asked.She opened her mouth and said: "Mrs. Song was indeed sane when she was in the Buddhist hall. All the concubines in the morning class today can testify. Moreover, Mrs. Song also talked to Mrs. Lin before she spoke to her concubine."

Lin Yijia heard this.Seeing the empress' eyes sweeping here, she knelt and took half a step.She bowed her head and said, "That's true. Mrs. Song asked the concubine to call her 'sister-in-law'. After that, the concubine's maid came and the concubine left."

"Since Mrs. Song has been blessed by the Bodhisattva, she is proud to get rid of the evil spirits, and her mind has returned to clarity..." The empress looked at Li Yueying, and asked in a deep voice: "Why did she die suddenly again? You have been with her all this time, Mrs. Song's death. Is it related to her?" You are related, Mrs. Li. You tell the truth!"

"Your Majesty, it's nothing to do with concubines!" Li Yueying couldn't help being terrified when she heard the words, she kowtowed and said, "After Concubine Lin left, the maidservant wanted to ask Mrs. Song about her family, so she didn't leave immediately. Who knew Mrs. Song didn't After saying a few words, he pointed at the statue of the Bodhisattva and began to criticize wantonly. The words were extremely disrespectful. The concubine was shocked at the time and wanted to persuade her, but she saw Mrs. Song suddenly got up and rushed towards the statue of the Bodhisattva, saying..."

"say what?"

What Li Taipin said was strange and treacherous, the empress's face was not at all moved.

Li Taipin took a peek at the empress's calm face, and her heart sank. She first bowed to the Nanhai Guanyin statue in the hall, and then gritted her teeth and said, "At that time, Mrs. Song said, 'You are a rotten clay sculpture. Eat so many offerings from me, but do nothing! See if I don’t smash your pretentious deceit today! Mrs. Song was about to jump on the statue, but suddenly fell to the ground!"

"The concubine was stunned at the time, but when she came to her senses, she realized that Mrs. Song had lost her breath, so she lost her mind in panic and ran around yelling. Concubine, concubine... I beg you to learn from me!"

Zhao Anmin fell to the ground, glaring at the Bodhisattva statue, with the two lines of blood and tears in front of his eyes, it was indeed a bit like what Li Yueying said: it was the appearance of him wanting to rush towards the statue, but suddenly fell to the ground and couldn't get up.Combined with what Li Yueying said about Zhao Anmin's obscenity and disrespect to Bodhisattva...

It is not necessarily impossible to say that Mrs. Song disrespected the gods and Buddhas and was punished by the gods and Buddhas.

After all, when it comes to gods, Buddhas, and ghosts, people in the world always need to be more in awe, yes or no.

But the empress said indifferently: "Please ask the imperial doctor."

Li Yueying suddenly clenched her fist.

An imperial doctor came out from behind, stepped forward to check it softly, and replied in a deep voice: "Madam, Mrs. Song died of suffocation."

Li Yueying's eyes were blank when she heard the words, and she almost fell to the ground. With runny nose and tears streaming down her face, she cried bitterly, "Your Majesty's enlightenment! Your Majesty's enlightenment! It's the bodhisattva who appeared to punish her for being disrespectful, and it's absolutely none of the concubine's business!"

The empress said coldly: "Be quiet!"

Hearing this, Li Yueying quickly opened her hands to the sky for the empress and the imperial doctor to see, and said, "Major, please look, this concubine's hands are clean, there is nothing there! I really have never touched her before." !"

"This palace will naturally investigate this matter." The empress gave Li Yueying a cold look, and asked the imperial doctor: "Please take a closer look, sir, is there any other clues?"

The imperial doctor nodded in response.

Li Yueying didn't dare to say more, she just kept crying.

No one noticed, Lin Yijia, who had been kneeling with her head down, quietly gestured towards the color painting kneeling behind her.

After seeing the colorful painting, her body trembled, she moved her body quietly, and quietly turned over a futon leaning against the threshold, and then suddenly screamed, her eyes widened, and she tightly covered it with one hand. Shutting his mouth, he pointed at a futon with one hand, trembling unceasingly.

She is Lin Changjia's court lady, she was kneeling on the outermost side.

When she screamed, everyone present looked at her.Naturally, following the direction of her finger, she saw the blood-stained futon.

The blood on Li Yueying's face faded completely.

A little eunuch immediately presented the futon to the empress for a look, and then gave it to the imperial doctor for examination.The imperial doctor checked the blood stains on it, carefully looked at Zhao Anmin's nose and mouth, and then replied: "Mrs. Song, Mrs. Song was indeed suffocated to death by this futon covering her mouth and nose. I am here on Mrs. Song's bed." Tiny cattails were found in the nostrils and throat. The empress has learned a lot."

The empress looked at Li Yueying coldly, and said: "Li Taipin, what else do you have to say? You are not afraid that you will be punished by the Buddha for committing murder in the Buddhist hall!"

Li Yueying was dumbfounded.

Suddenly, she rolled her eyes and saw someone coming outside, she was shocked, she climbed up to the Empress Empress, and said: "Your Majesty Mingjian, this concubine does have something to say to you. Your Majesty Mingjian."

The empress said coldly: "The evidence is conclusive, I don't need to listen to anything from you. Someone here, gag her and take her down!"

"Yes!" Immediately, two eunuchs came out and grabbed Li Yueying's arms.

"county--"

Before she could say a word, one of the eunuchs punched her on the chin, knocking the rest of her words back into her stomach.Immediately afterwards, another eunuch took out a veil from his bosom and unceremoniously stuffed Li Yueying's mouth, then cut it with his backhand, took a rope and quickly tied her tightly.

Li Yueying struggled unwillingly.

The empress looked at her struggling coldly, and said indifferently: "Since Mrs. Li was someone who served the late emperor, I will give you a white silk. Liuyun, you send Mrs. Li on the road."

"Yes." Liu Yun replied.

"Let's go back to Kunning Palace." The Empress said calmly without looking at Li Yueying again.

When she reached Wei Wei who had just sneaked in dressed as a court lady, the queen pointed at her casually and said, "Come and support me."

Wei Wei had no choice but to imitate the manner of a court lady, bowed her head and supported the empress, and walked out of Nianfu Palace slowly.

Not long after, Liu Yun came over with two middle-aged eunuchs with a sullen face, and saluted: "My lady, Mrs. Li is dead."

"Return it to the family." The Queen sighed, "As for Mrs. Song, she sent her body out of the palace and returned to Yun Temple after her death. Someone should inform Mr. Song."

"Yes, servant girl, let's go and tell people to do it." After Liu Yun responded, he turned around and left again.

The empress and her party returned to Kunning Palace, and as soon as they sat down, the empress' face sank, and she asked the maid, "Where's Bihai?"

The maid raised her head, but it was Wei Wei.She looked up and was startled by the empress's face, she couldn't help calling out: "Cousin...I..."

"I ask you, where is Bihai?" The Queen's voice sank.

Wei Wei didn't dare to say anything else, and whispered: "I knocked her out and locked her in the room."

"Come here!" The queen said loudly: "Bi Hai is not effective in handling affairs, and he will be punished by [-] big boards, and demoted to be a rough envoy maid!"

"Yes!" Someone answered, turned around and sent a message.

Wei Wei was startled, and hurriedly wanted to plead for Bi Hai, but when she looked up, she saw the queen staring at her like a knife, which made Wei Wei feel guilty for a while.And this guilty conscience made Wei Wei annoyed again, impulsively, she blurted out: "I made my own decision, cousin, what prestige are you showing to Bihai!"

"Bold!" The queen slammed on the phoenix seat behind her, glaring at Wei Wei's angry expression, complaining in her heart that she was ignorant, and said: "Qingfeng, slap your mouth! Let the county master improve his memory!"

"Cousin!" Wei Wei stared at the empress in disbelief.

Qingfeng walked up to Wei Wei, said "The county lord is offended", rolled up his sleeves, and suddenly slapped Wei Wei's pretty face.

Wei Wei was stunned by this blow. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
