Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 314
Now in the harem, apart from Su Qingning, only Concubine Lu has the right to assist the Six Palaces. The Lianhua Palace will renew the ritual for Concubine Han, and someone will report it to her.

Knowing that Concubine Han Gui was murdered, Concubine Lu packed up and was about to go to Yuxiu Palace, when Nanny Chen just came, and she came to Yuxiu Palace with Nanny Chen.

At this time, in the main hall of Yuxiu Palace, there were quite a few people present, with different expressions, each thinking about their own concerns.

Hearing the palace man's report, Su Qingning gave an order and stood up. Concubine Lu led Nanny Chen into the main hall.

"Sister Lu is here? I'm waiting for you." Without concubine Lu's gift, when Concubine Lu came close, Su Qingning grabbed her and asked her to sit with him.

"I heard about Concubine Han, I was planning to come to Yuxiu Palace, and Nanny Chen will be here." After sitting down, Concubine Lu responded, then looked at the people in the palace who saluted her, and waved.

"The matter of Concubine Han has to be handled by Sister Lu. It is related to Yuxiu Palace, so I need to avoid suspicion."

While talking, Su Qingning handed the thing in her hand to Concubine Lu, "Concubine Sun found this in the side hall of Qingyun Palace this morning, and it was next to the bathtub where Concubine Han was drowned. "

Hearing what Su Qingning said, Concubine Lu reached out to take it, held it in her hand and looked carefully, but she didn't see anything.

"Just looking at this thing, I'm afraid Sister Lu won't find anything. Hongjin, give me your handkerchief." Seeing Concubine Lu looking at the things in her hand, Su Qingning said to Hongjin, and took the handkerchief from her hand. son.

Concubine Lu looked at the handkerchief, then at the thing in her hand, surprise flashed across her face, "These two things belong to the same person, right? Are they from the red brocade?"

The handkerchief was taken from Hongjin, after a little thought, Concubine Lu discovered the key to it.

"Sister Lu is right. These two things belong to Hongjin. I believe in Hongjin. After all, she has been with me for many years, but it is related to the murder of Concubine Han. Therefore, the matter of interrogating Hongjin should be Leave it to Sister Lu."

"Although I want to avoid suspicion, I still want to tell you about the clues that may be provided. Last night, the person in charge of the night watch was Hongjin. You can also ask the emperor about this, because in the middle of the night last night, I was thirsty. I drank water once, and it was Hongjin who poured it for me."

"As for the other things...Hong Jin, from now on, I will hand you over to Concubine Lu for the time being. You must know everything, help Concubine Lu to find out the facts as soon as possible, and return you and Yuxiu Palace innocent. "

Looking at Hong Jin, Su Qingning ordered, Hong Jin quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Su Qingning and Concubine Lu.

"In addition, Concubine Sun and Concubine Zhao came to Yuxiu Palace, hoping that this palace can help them change their residence. I'm afraid they are afraid of me if something happened to Hongjin, so I will trouble Sister Lu for how to arrange it. .”

Glancing at Concubine Sun and Concubine Zhao, Su Qingning spoke with a smile. After listening to her, Concubine Lu's eyes fell on Concubine Zhao and Concubine Sun.

"It's not a problem to change to another palace, but it needs to be cleaned. I'm afraid I won't be able to move in today."

"Thank you, Concubine Lu, for your concern. The concubines don't choose anyone, as long as they don't live in Qingyun Palace."

After hearing Concubine Lu's words, the two quickly got up and saluted Concubine Lu.

"That being the case, after I think it over, I will send someone to Qingyun Palace to look for you. You go back first. I will investigate the matter of Concubine Han as soon as possible, so that you can rest assured."

Concubine Lu nodded, and said to the two of them, Concubine Zhao and Concubine Sun looked at each other, and retreated in response.

"Boss Zhou, please help me with the investigation. Assist Sister Lu. Yuxiu Palace will not interfere with Concubine Han's affairs." When Concubine Sun and Concubine Zhao left, Su Qingning looked at Zhou Chengren and ordered .

Zhou Chengren stood by the side all the time, waiting for orders. After Su Qingning finished speaking, he saluted her, "Your Majesty, don't worry, this slave will definitely assist Concubine Lu to find out the truth as soon as possible."

"Sister Lu, I have to work hard on you." Seeing Zhou Chengren's response, Su Qingning turned her head and held Concubine Lu's hand.

"Your concubine is being polite, between you and me, it doesn't have to be like this." Concubine Lu wanted to ask what Su Qingning thought about this matter, but thinking of the red brocade, she had no choice but to swallow her words.

"Leave this matter to Sister Lu, and you must let her know the ins and outs... To tell you the truth, this matter is aimed at Yuxiu Palace..."

Su Qingning trusted Concubine Lu, so she did not hide anything and told Concubine Lu everything.

"So it turns out that the person who did this must be the Empress Dowager's secret thread. Just now the imperial concubine said that she guessed that this person might be Princess Mingyu, but I don't think it's her."

"Judging from what happened to Concubine Han, this person is in the palace and knows everything in the palace like the back of his hand."

"I agree with your guess. This person's status must not be low. Now in the harem, there are only a few high positions. You will never harm yourself. As for me, I can be listed as a suspect. There is Concubine Zhang Shu, her position is above mine."

Frowning slightly, Concubine Lu talked about her guess, "It's just that Concubine Zhang Shu has always been timid, and you can know her temperament just by watching how she raises the eldest princess."

"Of course... there are no absolutes. I think you can keep an eye on Zhaochun Palace. Who can guarantee that Concubine Zhang Shu is not just pretending?"

…………

In Yuxiu Palace, Concubine Lu and Su Qingning talked about their guesses, and put aside the Princess Mingyu that Su Qingning and Nanny Chen had suspected.

In Chengqian Palace, Princess Mingyu sat in the side hall, waiting for the arrival of Emperor Chen.

Su Qingning was chatting with Nanny Chen before, and was overheard by Emperor Chen. He promised Su Qingning to find out if Princess Mingyu was suspected.

Now that the matter of Concubine Han has happened, Emperor Chen feels that it is time to find out the matter as soon as possible, if it has nothing to do with her, it is better to investigate others.

Emperor Chen came to the side hall and helped Princess Mingyu who was saluting to him. He called Princess Mingyu to sit down and ordered tea.

"Is Zhou Chengren here?" Seeing that it was not Zhou Chengren who served the tea, Princess Mingyu was a little puzzled.

"Something happened in the palace. I asked Zhou Chengren to investigate. Speaking of which, Mingyu and I haven't played chess together for a long time. I wonder if you are interested in playing a few games?"

In the past, Princess Mingyu often played chess with Emperor Chen, and the two were evenly matched.

After hearing what Emperor Chen said, Princess Mingyu responded with a smile, and the emperor himself played chess with Princess Mingyu with a chessboard and chess pieces.

Chess moves on the chess game, and there is a game in the emperor's words. Although it is necessary to clarify the suspicion, it is not easy to ask directly.

Princess Mingyu was concentrating on the chess game, she was completely unaware of the Emperor's various temptations, and after a game of chess, the Emperor's heart also had an idea.

Although it was stated that Princess Yu was the Queen Mother's biological daughter, the forces left behind by the Queen Mother were not controlled by her.

The ghost maker has someone else...
