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

Chapter 738 Humiliation of Innocence (8)
Yun Lan changed her clothes for her, tucked the corner of the quilt and said, "That girl Yin Yu is as vicious as Concubine Li, even if she didn't come up with this idea, it must have something to do with her."

Although Qingchen is extremely tired now, she insists on not letting herself fall asleep. There are still a lot of things to do, she can't relax at this time, close her eyes and rest her mind, she said weakly: "Yin Yu She is the most trusted person by Concubine Li's side. Is there anything she can't do alone? She likes Su Yue, and she can't wait to die, so how can she stay out of it? It's best not to let Ben Gong catch the evidence, otherwise, Ben Gong will Never spare her!"

Just as Yun Lan was about to lean over to pick up the blood-stained underwear, she saw the emperor walking in in a gust of wind, Yun Lan hurriedly knelt down, "Servant, please greet the emperor."

Seeing the glaring scarlet on the clothes at her hand, the emperor's eyebrows were raised upright, and seeing Qing Chen lying on the bed, drowsy, his face so pale that there was no trace of blood, he couldn't help but feel distressed and said: "Chen'er, I'm here to see you. "

Qingchen opened his eyes and saw Xiao Jun holding her hand tightly, looking at her nervously, "What do you think? Is it better now?"

"Your majesty..." Qingchen's throat choked up, and tears rolled down the corners of his eyes, "I beg the emperor to be the master of my concubine. Someone deliberately harmed the people around my concubine. If His Royal Highness and Jinxiu hadn't arrived in time, Jin Xin Your life will be ruined."

"I know, Xiao Jue has already told me about it on the way." Xiao Jun tucked the messy hair on her face behind her ears, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said in a deep voice: "Such a thing happened in the palace. , It's really treason, I have already ordered people to investigate strictly, Jinxiu has already taken that person to the Punishment Department, don't worry if he doesn't tell the truth, as long as you know who did it, I will definitely give you and Jinxin justice. "

Qingchen pulled his sleeve and nodded with tears in his eyes, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry for your Majesty, just because I was in a hurry to save Jinxin, I almost lost the child in my womb. If there is anything wrong with him, my concubine will have no face to see the Emperor."

Xiao Jun caressed her forehead, and comforted her softly: "It's not your fault, you can imagine how sinister that person's intentions are, you have an unstable fetus, if something happens to Jin Xin, you will definitely be out of breath, This child is almost impossible to keep? How can I tolerate such a poisonous plan? It is a capital offense to secretly accept men from outside the palace into the palace, intending to defile the palace servants and murder the prince, neither of which can tolerate her any longer!"

Even if the emperor said so, Qingchen still didn't know what to do. Everything the emperor said was a death penalty. If there was no perfect plan, how could Concubine Li dare to take such a risk?

Qingchen tentatively asked: "Does the Emperor know that Yinyu has feelings for Su Yue? She and Jinxin have always been at odds, and it wasn't the concubine who slandered Concubine Li. If Yinyu really did it, then she and Concubine Li must be inseparable." I beg the emperor to see clearly."

"Do you suspect it's her?" Xiao Jun's gaze was like a knife, with a cold chill, "After all, Concubine Li's foundation is shallow, such a big matter, she may not be able to complete it alone, there must be someone behind the scenes to help."

The empress had already grounded her feet, Qingchen really couldn't think of who could help Concubine Li at this moment, so she asked: "Then who is the emperor suspecting?"

Xiao Jun's eyes became deeper and deeper, even though she was suspicious, she didn't want to let her worry about it anymore, so she said vaguely: "I just conjecture like this, there is no evidence yet, as long as I find evidence, no one will keep her."

Seeing Yun Lan bringing in the medicine, Xiao Jun took the medicine bowl and said, "Come on."

Qing Chen owed her back, Yun Lan put a soft pillow behind her, Xiao Jun scooped up a spoonful of medicine and blew on it, handed it to her mouth and said: "You take the medicine first, take care of your body, and the rest It's up to me to handle it."

After using up the medicine, Yun Lan waited for her to rinse her mouth again, and then said: "Your Majesty, empress, Jinxiu is back."

Xiao Jun hurriedly said: "Let her come in and talk, I have something to ask her."

Yun Lan blissed slightly, and looked at Qing Chen helplessly, as if she already knew something, "Yes, I'm going now, servant girl." Then she walked out with the medicine bowl in her hand.

Here Jinxiu came in with a serious face, Xiao Jun signaled her to be excused, and asked, "How about it, did the person from the Punishment Department confess anything?"

After working hard for a long time, but getting nothing, Jinxiu was full of anger in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it, so she could only suppress her emotions and reply: "The person is dead, and he suddenly vomited blood and died after a short while in the Punishment Division. He was fed poison before entering the palace, and he was calculated to let him die. However, the servant girl also asked him a few words before, and he didn't seem to know how he was brought into the palace. He had an injury on his head. Most likely, he was knocked out and smuggled in in a sack. When the servant caught him, he thought he was in a brothel, and he didn't even know that he had arrived at the palace. More importantly, the servant saw him by the bedside. There are some green stains on one of the sacks, and there is a fragrance of vegetables, and the servant guesses that it is very likely that it was hidden in a vehicle transporting vegetables in the palace and entered the palace."

The corners of Xiao Jun's mouth twitched a few times, and he asked, "Have you sent someone to investigate?"

Jinxiu hurriedly replied: "His Royal Highness has already taken someone to the imperial dining room in charge of buying vegetables in the palace to inquire. He said that a bag of vegetables was lost there for some reason last night. The servant girl thought that the bag of vegetables might be that person. But Cai How it was lost, but no one knows."

"It's so easy for people to infiltrate the palace, how do those guards work!" Slapping the bed heavily, Xiao Jun gritted her teeth and said this sentence. Although she tried her best to restrain herself, she still couldn't hide her anger.

"There is a person in the cloth bag, how could it be lost without anyone noticing?" Qingchen couldn't find any clues if he didn't believe it. Such a dangerous thing must have been done by someone familiar with the imperial dining room. How could outsiders know? Success so smoothly?

"Then ask someone to investigate. After lighting the lamps last night, the palace servants in charge of buying vegetables in the imperial dining room are all on duty. Check them one by one. I don't believe they can't find out. From the dining room to the Xiyuan Plum Garden, the passage The road is not close, and there is such a long time vacancy, if you can't tell where you have gone, you will be taken to the Department of Punishment for interrogation, are you afraid that you won't be able to find out?"

Xiao Jun also nodded and said: "That's right, let's check one by one. This kind of thing must be done in the dead of night, and ask the chief eunuch of the dining room, who did not go out on business last night?"

Jinxiu hurriedly responded and went out to spread the word, Qingchen thought that unless all the people involved in the incident were dead, otherwise, there would always be a gap in some people, she didn't believe that Concubine Li could do it like flooding the beach without leaving any traces.

Concubine Li had been waiting for the news in the palace for a long time, but when she heard Gao Desheng's reply, she overturned the small table on the heating kang with red eyes, and the things on the table shattered to the ground. Yinyu and Gao Desheng were so frightened that they quickly knelt down.
