The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 1228 Hidden Murder (35)
After dinner, the two children played house in the house. The window was half open, and the sound of the rain was coming from outside. Occasionally, the cool evening wind would blow in. On this early summer night, it made people feel very cool Cozy.

The emperor looked at the chessboard on the table, sipped the tea in his hand carefully, and urged, "What are you thinking about? If you are not calm when playing chess, you will lose miserably."

At this time, so warm and quiet, she shouldn't spoil the emperor's interest, but there are some things that she has to ask, not because of who the wronged person is, but because she is the empress and the lord of the six palaces.Others can ignore it, or even act as if nothing happened, but she can't.

Qingchen simply put the chess piece in his hand back into the pistol, and asked softly: "The emperor knows that Yu Changzai was wronged, why did he let her take this charge, just to make the person who hurt Concubine Jing be paralyzed?" ?”

The emperor said indifferently: "Since you already know, why do you need to ask more? Besides, Lingyin Pavilion couldn't find any clues to prove that someone else was there at that time, and she couldn't find strong evidence to prove her innocence. How can I forgive you?" she?"

"But... Yu Changzai just went to ask Concubine Jing about one thing. The concubine she hates, even if she had a dispute with Concubine Jing, she would not want to kill her. Besides, she met Concubine Jing by chance in the Imperial Garden. Yes, how could it be possible to carry a knife on her body in advance? With Yu Changzai's temperament, no matter how much she hates a person, it is impossible for her to kill someone herself."

After so many years, Qingchen still understands Ye Hanyu's personality very well. Even if she has that thought, she might not have the courage.

Not everyone can easily get over such a thing as murder, but as far as she knows, Ye Hanyu's life in Huayu Palace is very ordinary now. After calming down, he closed the door and lived calmly, without having nightmares every night.

From this point of view, Qingchen also knew that she was not trying to hide her strength and bide her time with a strong heart, but was just disheartened.

The emperor turned his head to look out of the window, and said with heavy eyes: "The confession of the two maids serving Concubine Jing is that Yuchang came out on the front foot, and they entered the Lingyin Pavilion on the back foot. Have you ever thought about what is going on?" Can someone stab Concubine Jing in the blink of an eye without being noticed by outsiders?"

It's not that Qingchen hasn't thought about this question carefully, it's just that she's busy with Concubine Jing's funeral these days, and doesn't care about Yuchang's situation here, anyway, the emperor didn't order her to die, so Qingchen Chen simply waited until these things were over before discussing the matter with the emperor.

She thought for a while and said: "The concubine conjectures that maybe even Concubine Jing herself didn't know who was murdered, maybe the knife flew out from the dark. Otherwise, in such a short time, I would kill someone and then hide , it’s too late.”

"That also means that the person in the dark has good skills. Not to mention who is behind the scenes, but what is their purpose?" The emperor seemed a little puzzled.

Qingchen nodded, and said thoughtfully: "Yu Changzai is arrogant and rarely interacts with others. Although she had a lot of quarrels with others before, since Heng'er was brought up under Concubine Ning's knees, she She has been living her life in obscurity in the harem. I haven't heard of anyone arguing with her for so many years. If someone really wanted to harm her, they would have done it long ago. Why wait until now?

What's more, by framing her like this, if Concubine Jing survives a catastrophe and wakes up and proves her innocence, wouldn't those people's work be in vain?What does the emperor think? "

"I think so too, so it is very likely that that person is not going after Yuchang at all. The person she wants to kill may be Concubine Jing, and she just wants to find someone to take the blame for the dead ghost." Only in this way can it make sense up.

Qingchen frowned, and said in great puzzlement: "Concubine Jing has always been fair when she was helping the concubines and concubines in the Sixth Palace. She never treated anyone harshly, and her reputation among concubines has always been good. She has no enemies, what is it?" People hate her so much that they must put her to death?"

Xiao Jun suddenly thought of a person, such a beautiful face, gentle voice, could it be her?But Concubine Jing just reprimanded her that day, so she wouldn't kill someone because of it, right?

If this is the case, this woman is too ruthless. If such a dangerous person keeps her hiding in the dark, it may not be a good thing. She must be placed in the open and monitored as soon as possible.

Seeing that the emperor did not speak, but just stared out of the window in a daze, Qingchen asked softly: "What is the emperor thinking?"

"Uh, it's nothing. Let's put this matter aside for now. Don't worry. Foxes will always show their tails and imprison Yu Changzai. It's not a kind of protection. It's just that you have to pay attention to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Let's see if anyone in the palace has behaved unusually recently."

Xiao Jun is an extremely calm-tempered person, he never talks about speculation without evidence, never.Maybe he will investigate in private, but he will not open his mouth until he finds out the truth.

As an emperor, even if he was suspicious of someone, he couldn't say it casually, that would chill the hearts of his courtiers, and it had become a habit of him to think about everything in his heart.

But Qingchen didn't think so. Sometimes women's trust and expectations for a man do not lie in the truth, but in his attitude when the matter is not clear, and that is what they care most about.

If at this time, the emperor can still visit Yu Changzai and say a few words of trust and comfort, then the grievances she has suffered are nothing at all, and it is more precious than returning her innocence and making up for her after the truth many.

But the emperor just didn't understand a woman's thoughts, he didn't understand what she wanted.

But the current Qingchen didn't bother to do such unnecessary reminders any more, so he replied lightly: "Yes, the concubine knows."

Jinghan was tired from running, so she took off her shoes and climbed onto the kang to sit and pant for breath. The emperor took Qingchen's handkerchief, wiped the sweat from her forehead and blamed: "I'm sweating all over, how will I sleep later?" ? It’s already night, can’t you be quiet for a while?”

Although it was blame, but the emperor's voice was very gentle, Jing Han didn't take it seriously, took a few mouthfuls of tea on the table, recovered, turned around and leaned out on the window to follow outside The girl said: "Jinyu, can you see me?"

Jinyu was on duty in the corridor, and when she turned her head and saw that most of her body was hanging out, she hurried over to pick her up, "Princess, go back quickly, be careful not to fall and get hurt."

The emperor sighed softly, grabbed her belt and forcibly carried her back, and said with some headaches: "Sometimes I wonder if you and Yixuan should change their temperaments, are you really a princess?"
