Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 533 Waiting (1)
When Concubine Li heard that Madam Xia was going to leave and let her deal with some people by herself, she immediately panicked and said, "No, Madam Xia, you can't leave. Without you, how can I handle them?"

"Don't worry, ma'am, I'll come out right away." After finishing speaking, she turned and went to the inner room.

Concubine Li was about to speak when she heard footsteps, so she could only let Nanny Xia leave.

The next moment, many people broke into her bedroom, and the last one who walked in was the East Factory Admiral Yang Yong.

As soon as Yang Yong came in, he found that Concubine Li looked panicked, and looked inside from time to time, feeling suspicious in his heart. He didn't ask Concubine Li, but just stretched out his orchid finger to point in, and said coldly: "Search!"

"Bold! What are you doing?" Concubine Li said sternly, "Do you still have me in your eyes?"

Yang Yong glanced at her contemptuously, and before he could speak, he saw a young eunuch running out and said, "Report to the governor, the little one found this from the inside."

Yang Yong took a closer look, and there was a broken paulownia doll in a small wooden box, on which was written the name of the imperial concubine, only the date of birth had not been written, and there was also a scarf with bloodstains on it, Yang Yong saw Suddenly, he sucked in a breath of cold air.

Concubine Li was also frightened, she just shook her head and said, "No, it's impossible, Nanny Xia obviously cleaned up all these things, why... there are still such things..."

Yang Yong was about to ask again, when he saw two strong eunuchs carrying a person out, she was bleeding from all seven orifices, she seemed to have died of poisoning, who was it not Mother Xia?

When Concubine Li saw Nanny Xia, she immediately screamed, her face was full of panic, and she almost fainted.

"Catch her first, remove her chin, and don't let her die." Yang Yong didn't care about the facts, he only knew that something happened to the imperial concubine, and he could not get away with Concubine Li.

Soon, Concubine Li was tied up by Wuhuada. At this moment, she seemed to have not recovered, her eyes were fixed on Nanny Xia, not understanding what was going on.

It wasn't until the eunuch stepped forward to remove her chin that she wailed and woke up. She burst into tears and wanted to beg for mercy, but she could only groan and couldn't say a complete sentence.

"Supervisor, she should have committed suicide by taking poison." A young eunuch handed Yang Yong a porcelain bottle. Yang Yong opened the stopper, sniffed it lightly, and said, "It's Crane Crown Red. Take her body together." take away!"

When everyone escorted Concubine Li to leave, the little eunuch asked: "Master, Yang Cairen from Chuxiu Palace hasn't been searched yet, do you want to..."

Yang Yong is now in a hurry to ask the emperor for credit, he doesn't want to waste time, anyway, the murderer has been caught, it doesn't matter if he searches or not, he said: "No need, our family will report to the emperor immediately, your majesty may be in a hurry. "

Yang Cairen stood in front of the window of the West Side Hall, watched Yang Yong lead the people away, and breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking of Nanny Xia, he couldn't help but frowned.

It is indeed a pity to lose a right-hand man, but this is something that can't be helped. Fortunately, Madam Xia died. If she didn't die, she might be exposed. Madam Xia deserved her death, and she would replace her Chanting sutras beyond measure.

When Yang Yong returned to Yongning Palace, the sky was already slightly bright.

He looked at the sky, didn't dare to delay, and let everyone wait outside, while he walked in lightly.

Although there were many court ladies and eunuchs in the bedroom, it was so quiet that there was no sound, which made people feel scared.

Yang Yong couldn't help but put his footsteps a little lighter.

When he walked to the door of Xishaojian, he saw Hanyu coming out. Yang Yong immediately showed a smile. Point to the inside and let him go straight in.

Yang Yong smiled gratefully at her, adjusted his expression again, and then walked in cautiously.

At this time, Emperor Xian De was still sitting by the bed, as if he was still maintaining the original posture.

Seeing this, Yang Yong suddenly felt his eyes a little sore, and even an inexplicable emotion came to his heart.

For the first time, he felt that His Majesty is also an ordinary man, not a high-ranking emperor who controls the lives and deaths of millions of people.When encountering life and death, he would also feel sad and afraid, and the emperor's feelings were all for the imperial concubine.

"Your Majesty?" Yang Yong lowered his voice and called out in a low voice.

His voice seemed to have awakened Emperor Xian De from his deep slumber.

Emperor Xian De turned his head slightly, glanced at him, and asked: "Is there any result?"

"Your Majesty, the result has already been reached." Without waiting for Emperor Xian De to ask again, he said directly: "The culprit is the Concubine Li of Chuxiu Palace."

"It turned out to be her." Even if Emperor Xian De knew, his expression did not change, and his voice sounded very indifferent.

"The servant found these things from Concubine Li." Yang Yong said, and opened the wooden box, revealing the paulownia doll inside.

When Emperor Xiande saw this, his pupils shrank suddenly, but he quickly narrowed his eyes to cover up his abnormality, and asked, "Where is she?"

"The servant has already sent someone to arrest her, and she is now outside the hall." Yang Yong said.

"Bring her in." Emperor Xian De said.

"Yes." Yang Yong responded, walked directly to the door of Xishaojian, and ordered: "Bring Concubine Li in."

Immediately a little eunuch went out to spread the word.

Yang Yong came back again and said: "Your Majesty, when the slaves arrived at Chuxiu Palace, Nurse Xia who was next to Concubine Li had committed suicide by taking poison."

Emperor Xian De frowned, and said: "Don't dispose of her body yet, let Chan Master Tong have a look at it."

Yang Yong naturally complied.

At this moment, Concubine Li had been escorted in, she was still tied up, but her lower jaw had been fixed.

As soon as Concubine Li came in, she was escorted to kneel on the ground, but she didn't take it seriously, seeing Emperor Xiande, as if she had seen a savior, she struggled and shouted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, my concubine was wronged, my concubine I am wronged! The concubine was framed, even if I gave the concubine a hundred courage, the concubine would not dare to curse the imperial concubine sister...Your Majesty..."

"Noisy!" Emperor Xian De stopped her in a cold voice, without even looking at her, he said coldly: "It's disturbing the imperial concubine to take a break, you should hit her!"

"Your Majesty..." Concubine Li looked at Emperor Xian De incredulously, obviously she didn't believe that he made such a big fuss and scolded herself for such a trivial matter.

Following Emperor Xiande's gaze, she saw Su Wan lying on the bed with her eyes closed, a trace of jealousy and joy flashed in her eyes.But she quickly lowered her eyelids, afraid of revealing her emotions.
