Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 313 Misunderstanding
Hongxiu's actions made Concubine Sun's expression even more ugly. She wanted to leave, but was worried that she would not be able to.

"Are you okay?" Even though she didn't deal with Concubine Sun, seeing her current appearance, Concubine Zhao was still a little worried.

"No...it's okay, let's go in." Taking a deep breath, Concubine Sun tried her best to calm herself down. She thought that if she left now, she would end up with Concubine Han if she didn't keep it all at night.

That being the case, it's better to go in and express your heart to the imperial concubine, and let her know that I will never say anything about this matter.

"Then let's go." After listening to Concubine Sun's words, Concubine Zhao nodded and walked towards the main hall with her.

Hongxiu and Hongjin followed the two of them to the entrance of the main hall.

"Reporting to the imperial concubine, Concubine Sun and Concubine Zhao are here." At the entrance of the hall, Hongxiu opened her mouth and reported to the inside of the hall.

Hearing that these two people came, Su Qingning was a little surprised, she responded and asked Hongxiu to invite them in.

The four of them entered the hall together, and Concubine Zhao and Concubine Sun saluted Su Qingning.

Calling the two to get up, Su Qingning looked at Concubine Zhao and Concubine Sun. She noticed that Concubine Sun's complexion was not very good.

"Seeing that Concubine Sun's complexion is not very good, but is there something uncomfortable?" Su Qingning asked Concubine Sun with concern.

"Your... Concubine, concubine, I'm fine, thank you for your concern." Concubine Sun did not dare to get up, Concubine Sun still maintained her posture of saluting, Concubine Zhao had already stood up, looking at her, very strange.

The two have lived together since they entered the palace. Concubine Zhao still knows Concubine Sun very well. She has never seen her like this before. Looking at her now, she seems to be greatly frightened.

Concubine Zhao didn't know why Concubine Sun was like this, she lowered her voice and whispered to Concubine Sun, "What's wrong with you? Your concubine asked you to get up."

After asking her, Concubine Zhao reached out to help Concubine Sun up.

Hongxiu and Hongjin stood aside, looking at Concubine Sun's appearance, Hongxiu knew that she must have discovered something.

I heard from my master before that the red brocade was found in the side hall of Qingyun Palace. It seems that this concubine Sun saw it.

Presumably, she noticed the imprint on it, and saw the imprint on the red brocade handkerchief just now, so she believed that Han Guifei's death was related to Yuxiu Palace.

If not, she would not be afraid of this, she must be worried that she will end up with Han Guibin, so she just wanted to leave just now.

"Get up quickly, sit down and talk about something, Hongxiu, make a cup of tea for Concubine Sun and Concubine Zhao." After ordering Hongxiu, Su Qingning had good intentions, but unexpectedly, after she finished speaking, Concubine Sun immediately fell to the ground.

"My... Your concubine, please forgive me. I don't know anything, I haven't seen anything. I came with Concubine Zhao. I just hope that the concubine can help me and Concubine Zhao to re-arrange a place to live."

"Concubine...concubine is a timid person, and concubine knows what to say and what not to say. I beg your concubine to spare your life. Please... don't blame concubine."

Quickly got up and knelt down, Sun Concubine spoke tremblingly, stammering, obviously very scared in her heart.

Su Qingning was taken aback by her being like this, and she didn't understand what she meant.

Concubine Zhao was also confused, she looked at Concubine Sun's appearance, and then at Su Qingning, not knowing what to do?
"What is Concubine Sun doing? It's so good, why should I blame you?" Su Qingning looked at Hong Jin while playing with the things in her hands, hoping that she would help Concubine Sun up.

In Hong Jin's hand, she was still holding the handkerchief she had wiped sweat off just now, and there was a mark on it, which was the same as the mark on the things in her hand.

She looked at the things in her hand, then at the handkerchief in Hongjin's hand, and finally, her eyes fell on Concubine Sun, and she understood the reason why Concubine Sun was like this.

"Concubine Sun, get up." After ordering again, Su Qingning revealed what was in her hand, and looked at Hongjin, "Hongjin, do you know this thing?"

Suddenly hearing her master calling herself, Hong Jin looked into her hand, "Hey, isn't this a servant's thing? Why is it in the master's hands?"

"Is this really yours?" Hearing Hong Jin's question, Su Qingning spoke again.

"It's indeed a servant's, and there is a servant's mark on it, but it was lost before, and the servant kept looking for it. Why is it here with the master? Could it be that the servant dropped it in the palace when he was packing up?"

Hong Jin didn't know that this thing was found in Qingyun Palace, she saluted Su Qingning and asked her suspiciously.

Concubine Sun knelt on the ground, and when she heard the conversation between the two, she slowly raised her head. She looked at Su Qingning, then at Hong Jin who had a puzzled expression, and suddenly felt a little relieved.

"This thing... Isn't this what you found in Qingyun Palace?" Only then did Concubine Zhao understand, she lowered her voice and asked Concubine Sun.

Concubine Sun didn't answer her, she was still kneeling on the ground, not daring to get up.

"Concubine Sun, you must have heard the conversation between me and Hong Jin, get up quickly." Su Qingning looked at Concubine Sun again, beckoned her to get up, and Hong Xiu stepped forward to help her up.

"Sit down first. I will definitely investigate this matter. As for what Concubine Sun said just now, when Concubine Lu arrives, I will discuss it with her."

Instructing Concubine Sun and Concubine Zhao to sit down first, Su Qingning waved at Hong Jin, signaling her to come closer, Hong Jin took the order and came to her side.

"This thing was found in Qingyun Palace. It fell beside the bathtub in the side hall. The side hall of Qingyun Palace lived in Concubine Han. Last night, Concubine Han was killed."

Looking at the red brocade, Su Qingning handed the things in her hands to her and spoke.

"Master, the servant is wronged. Last night, the servant was in Yuxiu Palace and never left. The guard at the gate can testify to this. Furthermore, the servant was on vigil last night. The servant is not the murderer."

After hearing Su Qingning's words, Hong Jin immediately knelt down and spoke anxiously.

"The imprint on this thing was indeed left by the servant. The servant does not deny this, but it has been lost for several days, and the servant has been looking for it for several days. Regarding this, the servant also has witnesses. The master can ask Ask Xia Zhi and Xiao Man, they have seen slaves looking for them before."

"These words, wait for Concubine Lu to come, tell Concubine Lu, you are from Yuxiu Palace, I am the owner of Yuxiu Palace, it is not appropriate for me to investigate this matter, don't you Hurry up, if you are wronged, I will definitely return your innocence."

Greeting Hong Jin to get up, Su Qingning comforted her, she asked Nanny Chen to invite Concubine Lu to Yuxiu Palace to avoid suspicion, and also to silence other people's mouths, so that others would not be able to make irresponsible remarks.

After receiving the order, Hong Jin got up, her eye circles were a little red, she was holding a kerchief in her hand, she was obviously very nervous...
