The reborn woman returns

Chapter 43

"Report to the emperor, Princess Huo has arrived." Li Zhong, who delivered the decree, walked in and knelt down on the ground to report.

Emperor Yongtai frowned instantly and said, "Quickly declare."

"According to the order."

Xue Yan overflowed with a smile, intending to come in to excuse her because she was worried that she was not in the palace.Unexpectedly, she was so fast that she didn't know which way to go.

In less than a moment, Huo Hanyan, who was dressed in light yellow clothes and wearing bright moon beads, appeared in the hall, put her hands on the right side, and squatted down slightly. "Hanyan has seen the emperor, the empress, and the noble concubine. I wish my emperor a long life and my empress a thousand years. I don't know what orders I have for calling Hanyan?"

Before Emperor Yongtai could speak, the empress frowned and asked, "Princess Huo, I ask you, what happened in the Imperial Garden yesterday?"

"Imperial Garden?" Huo Hanyan was a little stunned, as if she was interrogating a prisoner, and then asked inexplicably: "Empress Empress, Hanyan doesn't understand, please explain clearly." The empress and empress do not have much contact with each other, and they are also invisible figures in the harem. At first sight today, it is somewhat different from what I imagined.

"Zeng Xiuyi hanged herself to death this morning. The maid in the palace went for an autopsy and found that her whole body was covered in blood, and her whole body was punctured with fine needles." Emperor Yongtai was also quite displeased with the Queen's tone. Princess Huo said She was her own cousin, so she looked at Huo Hanyan explainingly and asked, "It is said that she was reprimanded by the noble concubine for speaking rudely to you in the Imperial Garden yesterday. Hanyan, tell me what happened yesterday?"

"Your Majesty! It's clear that Concubine Xue Gui used torture in the palace for private use. Zeng Xiuyi couldn't bear it and hanged herself to death." Seeing that the emperor was clearly favoring Xue Chengbi, the queen said in a high-pitched voice, with disbelief in her eyes. The harem argued, and the emperor condemned himself without distinction.Now that the evidence is conclusive, the emperor still wants to excuse Xue Chengbi, does the emperor still have a place in his heart?If things go on like this, how long can I stay in the position of empress?

Wei Wei inspected the situation, but was not very clear about the current situation.First of all, Zeng Xiuyi committed suicide, whether it was because she really couldn't endure the pain of acupuncture or there was some other reason, I really can't figure it out at the moment.Besides, Xue Chengbi is Xue Shaochen's elder sister, and the emperor obviously had the intention of favoring the noble concubine, so after thinking about it, he could only ask doubtfully: "Did she hang herself?" , staring with bulging eyes, and without affectation, said angrily: "Your Majesty, this Zeng Xiuyi of yours is too impatient."

"How do you say that?" Emperor Yongtai was a little dazed, and asked her what happened, how could it be related to the matter of temperament, what was going on in Huo Hanyan's mind?
Huo Hanyan sighed, took two steps forward and said. "I just picked a peony, and she insisted on asking the harem guards to chop off my hand! The imperial concubine just reprimanded her a few words, and she committed suicide. Isn't it narrow-minded?"

Even though the deceased was the greatest, that Zeng Xiuyi was too arrogant, even if he didn't commit suicide today, he probably wouldn't live long.As the saying goes: compare two evils whichever is lesser, and compare two benefits whichever is more serious.Glancing at Concubine Xue Gui, seeing her calm and innocent look, she suddenly felt that this matter might not be as clear as it appeared on the surface, and she could only be a silly girl, trying not to offend either side. "It's almost impossible for Hanyan to salute the emperor."

"Nonsense, it's not like this." The woman kneeling on the ground suddenly raised her head and shouted in embarrassment: "The imperial concubine ordered someone to use a thin needle to carve the palace rules on the body of the empress Xiuyi, and the empress couldn't bear the pain so she hit the pillar and killed herself. The emperor is the master of my family!"

"Presumptuous, who gave you the guts to be so rude to the princess?!" Xue Yan said unconsciously, although he knew that it was inconvenient for him to interfere with the inner palace affairs, but the words of this palace man were too presumptuous, to be so rude to Huo Hanyan Disrespectful, her master once wanted to do something to her, if she didn't kill herself, he would make her die an ugly death.

When the queen heard Xue Yan's scolding, her eyebrows narrowed slightly. "The emperor has not yet spoken, but Ning Yuanhou has taken over the position!"

"Isn't the queen empress just wanting the concubine to admit this matter, and the concubine sent someone to do it, how does the empress want to take the concubine?" Concubine Xue Gui, who had never said a word, finally spoke coldly and remained silent. Can you just treat yourself as a mural?
