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

Chapter 3
Concubine Shu gave the emperor a meaningful look, with jealousy in her eyes, she still refused to let go and said: "Your Majesty, you can't easily believe her just by listening to her one-sided words. Noble Lan lives with her, and there will inevitably be friction on weekdays." If it is not impossible to say that the accumulation of enmity has resulted in murderous intentions, but she is the first to discover it, this is too coincidental."

"If it is said that enmity is accumulating, isn't your mother more suspicious?"

Qingchen raised his head to meet Concubine Shu's sharp gaze, and retorted without giving in: "Your Majesty has always disliked Lan Guiren, and when admiring the flowers today, she even quarreled with her in public regardless of her appearance. I can't understand her making things difficult for others, the empress is the biggest suspect, right?

How can you say that you are not suspected just because you live far from Lan Guiren?Or is it because you are a high concubine that you can turn black and white with one hand, and you can slander concubines at will? "

As the emperor's concubine, Qingchen has nothing to fear, "I beg the emperor and empress to judge me holy."

Concubine Shu was about to speak when she heard the emperor shout impatiently: "Enough is enough, stop arguing!"

Xiao Jun glanced at Concubine Shu who was angry and blushed, she was extremely dissatisfied, and said to Qing Chen lightly: "You get up first, I won't wrong anyone, but I will never let the one who harmed Lan Guiren of wicked men."

Qingchen said firmly: "I believe that the emperor will be able to seek justice for Lan Guiren."

The queen stood aside without saying a word, quietly watching the battle, carefully observing the emperor's face, secretly guessing the direction of the Sacred Heart.

At this time, the imperial physician had already experienced Lan Guiren's body, and the emperor asked, "What do you say?"

Judge Yang Shize from the left courtyard of the Supreme Hospital stepped forward and replied: "Your Majesty, Mr. Lan Gui has been drowning for about two hours. There are no obvious signs of struggling on his body, and there is no external injury. It seems... that he fell into the water accidentally."

Qingchen asked in surprise: "There is only Baiye Kuhe left in this lake now, why does she want to go to the water's edge? It would be too far-fetched to say that she accidentally slipped down."

The imperial doctor asked again: "Dare to be nobleman Wan, you were the first to discover nobleman Lan fell into the water, did you find any clues?"

Qingchen shook his head, "I didn't even see who the person who fell into the water was, so how could I find any clues, you might as well ask those little father-in-laws who saved people."

Concubine Shu said lukewarmly: "Some people would not say anything even if they knew it. I'm afraid she has cleared up the clues long ago."

Just as Qing Chen was about to speak, he saw the emperor looking at Concubine Shu with cold eyes, and scolded with extreme displeasure: "Concubine Shu, didn't you hear what the imperial physician said just now?

Mr. Lan has been in the water for more than two hours, what was Mr. Wan doing two hours ago?Don't tell me that you have forgotten. Could it be that she still can't do the avatar technique? "

Concubine Shu opened her mouth, blushed and fell silent for a moment, then said in a low voice: "The concubine also feels sorry for Lan Guiren, please don't blame the emperor if I don't check for a while."

The emperor said angrily: "Don't investigate for a while? Can a life-and-death matter be prevaricated if you don't investigate for a while? I'm really glad that the right to assist the Sixth Palace has not been handed over to you, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable."

Concubine Shu was full of grievances but did not dare to speak out again, the queen glanced at her slightly reproachfully, and came over to persuade her: "The emperor calms down, sister Concubine Shu also wants to find out the truth, she has no other intentions, please Don't blame the emperor."

Such words of persuasion are tantamount to adding fuel to the flames, "She knows whether she has other intentions." The emperor snorted coldly, and said to the queen: "Concubine Ning is ill now, so the queen has to work harder. Be sure to investigate this matter." clear."

The queen hurriedly said: "The concubine would like to obey the holy order."

The emperor then ordered Xue Zisheng who was waiting at the side: "Help the queen to find out this matter, otherwise I will take your head off."

When Xue Zisheng heard this, he quickly knelt down and said, "This servant must do his best to find out who the murderer is as soon as possible. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

The emperor snorted coldly, turned around and left, and when he passed by Qingchen, he stopped again and said in a cold tone: "You go back too, and let the imperial doctor look at your legs later."

Qingchen hurriedly got down, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."

Concubine Shu over there pulled her veil angrily and gave her a hard look, and the queen patted her on the shoulder reassuringly, "Don't think too much, go back first."

Qingchen hurriedly went down, "The concubine sent the empress respectfully."

Concubine Shu also flicked her handkerchief, and angrily followed the queen away.

On the way back to Xihe Palace, Qingchen ran into Lan Guiren's personal maid, Zhiruo. Not long ago, she accompanied Lan Guiren to enjoy the flowers in the imperial garden.Qingchen saw that she was holding a lot of things in her hands, as if she had just returned from the House of Internal Affairs.

She then asked Zhiruo: "Why don't you follow your master, why don't you send a little maid to get these things?"

Zhiruo smiled and said: "When I came back from the Imperial Garden today, I ran into Eunuch Zhang from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he said that the emperor has some valuable things to give to the master, so I can find someone suitable to get them.

Lan Guiren was very happy, so he asked me to follow Eunuch Zhang to pick up the things, and went back to Yaohuaxuan by himself first, who would have thought that there were so many people receiving things today, and the servants and maidservants would not be able to claim all of them until this time. "

Qingchen sighed slightly, and asked: "Do you know that your master drowned in the lotus pond?"

Zhiruo was startled, and everything in her hand fell to the ground with a clatter.

Not long after Qingchen returned to Yinfengxuan, the imperial doctor came and said her leg was fine, left some ointment for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, prescribed a few doses of tranquilizing medicine and left.

Jinxiu waited for her to take medicine and rest, but who knew that after catching a cold during the day, she suddenly developed a high fever in the middle of the night, and she couldn't wake up from this illness for half a month.

Qingchen still has some taboos about the dead. Fortunately, Lan Guiren's body has not been sent back to Yaohuaxuan. She doesn't know if the Ministry of Internal Affairs has really found out the case. Anyway, by the time she can go out, the emperor has already ordered The orchid nobleman was buried generously.

Qingchen thought about when Lan Guiren was favored, the Xipei Hall would sing and sing every night until late at night, and it was often so noisy that she couldn't sleep well. Now that it suddenly became quiet there, she felt a little unaccustomed to it.

It is said that someone in the same palace is favored, and even other concubines in the palace can share some of the emperor's favor and rain, at least they can get acquainted in front of the emperor, but the number of times the emperor comes to Xihe Palace is so frequent, but not Knowing that there is another nobleman Wan in this palace, he doesn't even remember her.
