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

Chapter 1257: Concubine Li's Dark Trick (5)
Gao Yong begged with a bitter face: "Empress Empress, it's not good, Concubine Li... She was teased by His Highness Fifth and was bitten by a poisonous snake."

"Run'er?" Qing Chen stood up suddenly, and asked in surprise: "Concubine Li was bitten by a snake, does this matter have anything to do with him?"

Gao Yong sighed: "Empress, go and have a look, His Highness the Fifth Prince caught a small snake and put it in a brocade bag, and played tricks on people with it. Yao Shuyi, who was scared last night, almost had a heart attack. , who would have thought that he used that little snake to scare Concubine Li again today, but Concubine Li was bitten by the snake without any precautions."

Seeing that something happened in the palace, Mrs. Mu couldn't stay any longer, so she got up and said goodbye, "Empress Empress, it's getting late, and it's time for my wife to leave."

Qingchen apologized and said: "It's so easy to have some free time to talk to my sister-in-law. I didn't expect that I still can't enjoy it to my fullest. When I have time some other day, my sister-in-law will often come to sit with me. It's good for us sisters to meet often."

Mrs. Mu smiled gently, and nodded kindly, "Yes, my wife has made a note."

Qingchen ordered Xiao Xiangzi to pick up the presents for Mrs. Mu and the three sons of the Mu family, then turned around and told Yun Lan, "You can give it to me."

Mrs. Mu thanked her and gave Wanyue a few words of advice before leaving the palace.

Seeing the Queen taking Qinxue and Jinxiu away in a hurry, Yixuan curled his lips coldly, threw all the fish food in his hand into the water, then patted the residue on his hand and said, "Come on, go to Concubine Li's." Yaoxianyuan will inquire about the news, and report it in time if there is anything."

Chang Xi hurriedly responded, and followed the queen in a hurry.

Jinghan ate the pastry on the table, turned her head and asked: "It's too bad that Ron'er can think of it, but actually used a snake to scare that bad woman, and she deserves a few bites. Who made her keep making the queen angry?"

Standing by the side, Wanyue thought of something astutely, and asked Yixuan: "Just now, I heard from the little eunuch that Concubine Li was bitten by a poisonous snake. No matter how bold the Fifth Highness is, she just wanted to play tricks on others. That's all, he definitely won't use a poisonous snake to harm Concubine Li. If it really bites someone, he is the chief culprit. I heard that he still has to kneel in the Buddhist hall every day. The last incident is not over yet. Well, how dare he use poisonous snakes to hurt people again?"

Jinghan sneered and said, "Rong'er is just a strong outsider, but if it's a real poisonous snake, he wouldn't dare to touch it."

Wanyue asked puzzledly: "Since Rong'er dared not touch the poisonous snake, how could Concubine Li be bitten by a poisonous snake because of him? Don't you think it's a bit strange? Yesterday he teased Yao Shuyi At that time, why did the snake bite Li Fei instead of anyone?"

Jinghan waved her hand nonchalantly, continued to eat the rose cake in her hand, wrinkled her little nose and snorted, "It doesn't matter to me how things go, I'll be happy as long as I see that bad woman suffer."

Wanyue turned to look at the prince, saw Yixuan smiled lightly and said: "I know what you are wondering about, you are right, most snakes in the north are non-poisonous, if Concubine Li is bitten by a poisonous snake by such a coincidence, then It is likely that someone used Rong'er to attack Concubine Li, after all poisonous snakes are not common, if they suddenly appeared in Rong'er's brocade bag, it would be even more unusual."

Wanyue opened her mouth, but she couldn't say anything more. Concubine Li is very beautiful, but people in this palace don't like her. She was in the palace these few days and heard many concubines scolding in secret. She said that she was charming the emperor, and she didn't understand many things in the palace, so she didn't dare to speak lightly.

Seeing that neither of them were interested in the two plates of lychees, Yixuan waved his hands and said, "Take it down and give it to you."

Immediately, a little maid responded and came up and carefully carried the things down.

Jinghan suddenly asked: "Brother Huang, using snakes to scare people is your bad idea for Rong'er, right?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I just said that would scare people, but I didn't ask him to do that, and I didn't make a poisonous snake to put in his brocade bag."

Yixuan snorted coldly and said, "I'm not so despicable. Although I don't like how she always contradicts my mother, I don't want to kill her. I'm afraid someone will take advantage of this idiot, Rong'er. I don't even know, if Concubine Li really dies, Emperor Father might not be able to spare him!"

Jinghan was not in the mood to eat at the moment, she dropped the pastry in her hand and asked, "Brother, do you know who is trying to harm Concubine Li?"

"She has made so many enemies, how do I know? Look at me coldly, which of the imperial father's concubines is on good terms with her?" Yixuan straightened his clothes, turned and walked towards Qifeng Palace, " I'm going back to study, you two can play here, don't go to Concubine Li to make trouble for the queen at this time."

What Yixuan said is correct, at this moment, Concubine Li's Yaoxian Garden is in a mess, the imperial physician is trying her best to rescue Concubine Li, and Rong'er is kneeling outside under the sun, with a rebellious expression on his face, the emperor is looking at his face in the palace. He looked unbelievable, his face was livid with anger, and he felt so powerless even if he wanted to scold him a few words.

Qingchen stood in front of the window, thinking carefully about the ins and outs of the matter, and naturally it was not difficult to find the flaws in it.

According to Rong'er himself, he caught a very small yellow snake by the lake yesterday evening and wanted to put it in a bag to scare people. Several little maids have also been teased by him.

Since this little snake has been touched by so many people and has not bitten anyone, why did it bite Li Fei?And Rong'er firmly insisted that the poisonous snake that was killed in the brocade bag was not the one he caught yesterday evening, that is to say, his things had been touched by someone.

In such a situation, many people took it for granted that someone used Rong'er to harm Concubine Li, but what Qingchen couldn't figure out was, if this was the case, who could guarantee that Rong'er would definitely trouble Concubine Li?
Or, when Rong'er hadn't met Concubine Li, she was narrow-minded enough to play tricks on others, then the person who was bitten by the poisonous snake must be someone else, how should this be explained?

After thinking about it for a long time, although she was not so sure in her heart, she had already made up her mind, so she persuaded Xiao Jun: "Your Majesty, although Rong'er is naughty, I believe that if he really knows that it is a poisonous snake, he will never dare to take it. To tease Concubine Li must be instigated by an inner ghost, so what I mean by this concubine is that I want to interrogate the two little father-in-laws next to him first, I don't know what the emperor wants?"

Xiao Jun nodded, even though he was furious, the emperor was not confused, "I also think there is something strange about this matter, and that's exactly what I meant. Rong'er is still a child, it's normal to refuse to give in after being wronged, just now He said that the little snake was not the one he caught, I can see that he didn't lie."

Now that the emperor agreed, Qingchen ordered: "Come here, bring the two young father-in-laws who are close to His Highness the fifth prince to me, and I will interrogate them personally!"
