The Emperor's Favorite: The Beauty Disturbs the World

Chapter 73 The Unexpected Incident

After tossing all night, except for Prince Cong's sex history, nothing about Mei'er's abortion was found out. Gao Lishi was a little frustrated. If this continues, Li Longji must be furious.Seeing that the matter was not progressing, Chang Xi was also frowning. Little Zhao Zi said: "Miss Chang Xi, please go back to Kunde Hall. Tomorrow is the day when the concubines of the Six Palaces greet the Queen. I'm afraid you are busy. Go back and have a rest!"

Chang Xi thinks about it too, every time the Queen summons the concubines in the palaces on the 12th day of the Lunar New Year, it is no less than a small war, and he has to spend [-] energy to deal with it, so he gathers his clothes and prepares to go back to sleep On the way back to the Kunde Hall, a little maid hurriedly ran past. Chang Xi recognized the little maid who was working in the Kunde Hall of Huangfu Xianyi just now, and she became suspicious, so she followed her secretly Just look what she's going to do in such a hurry to come out so late!
The little maid came to the Thousand Carp Pond alone, took out a paper bag from her bosom, unfolded the paper bag and was about to throw the contents into the pond, Chang Xi knew that there must be something important inside, otherwise she would not If you come out to throw it at this time, it may be the poison that caused Mei'er to have a miscarriage!This thought flashed across my mind in an instant, and without a word, I rushed forward, snatching the rest of the paper from the little maid's hand!
The little palace maid suddenly saw a person jumping out from behind her, she started to turn pale with fright, and then rushed up to snatch back the package, Chang Xifei kicked her in the stomach and shouted violently: "Be honest!"

"Ouch!" The little maid rolled on the ground in pain.

"Who is making noise here?!" A familiar voice came from the Thousand Carp Pond.

Chang Xi saw a servant who was neither tall nor short walking towards this side, and at a closer look, it turned out to be Little Zhao Zi, who was watching the night!

"You came at the right time! I may have found a clue!" Chang Xi was afraid that the little maid would get up from the ground and run away, so she called out to Xiao Zhao Zi.

Hearing that it was Chang Xi's voice, little Zhao Zi said in surprise, "Miss, didn't you go back to Kunde Hall? Why are you here?"

Chang Xi raised the paper bag in his hand and said, "I think it's weird that the court lady came here sneakily to throw this bag!"

"Really!" Little Zhao Zi heard that there was a clue, and his small eyes that had always been squinted became energetic. He looked at the moaning court lady on the ground, kicked her, turned her over, and saw that she was Han Qing. The palace maid asked, "Ju Xiang, what are you doing here so late, instead of serving Huangfu Xianyi!"

Ju Xiang cowardly said: "No... nothing!"

Little Zhao Zi took the paper bag from Chang Xi's hand and shouted: "I didn't do anything! I didn't do anything, do I need to come here so late to throw things away!"

Ju Xiang cried and grabbed Xiao Zhao Zi's lapel when she saw the incident, and said, "Mr. For the dowry, I didn’t know that Eunuch Gao brought people to search the palace today, and the slaves were afraid, so they came to destroy the evidence. Please, Eunuch, remember my honesty and spare my life. Don’t talk to Xianyi, and then Xianyi Pregnant, if there is any accident, the servant will be even more damned!!"

Xiao Zhaozi said coldly: "You have a lot of talk, let me forgive you, and see if this is really what you said! Come, follow me to the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"

Little Zhaozi gagged the maid involuntarily, and pushed her into the darkroom of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Chang Xi went to the Shanggong Bureau to find Qu Shanggong and asked her to test the incense. The paper bag really contained some gold thread and spices, but Among the spices, there is an extremely rare one, which is musk!
Qu Shanggong changed his face and asked: "Miss, where did this musk come from? This thing can cause miscarriage. The Shang Palace Bureau is very cautious in managing spices. If any empress uses it in the palace, it must be recorded. But this servant remembers that in the past three months, not a single lady in the palace has asked for musk!"

Chang Xi said, "Are you sure?"

Qu Shanggong said: "Your maidservant can be sure, this thing is kept by this maidservant and another Shanggong at the same time, the lock can only be opened if we both open it together, there will be no mistakes!"

Chang Xi nodded, and said: "This matter is very important, don't say it for now!"

"No!" Qu Shanggong knew that another big storm was about to happen in the palace!

With this result, Chang Xi went back to look for Xiao Zhao Zi. After the two discussed it, the matter was too big, and Gao Lishi needed to be informed overnight. The most favored Huangfu Xianyi harmed the dragon fetus in the womb of Concubine Shu. No one else knew how much Li Longji valued Fenglu, but Gao Lishi knew it all.

At this time, he said: "If this thing belongs to Huangfu Xianyi, what did she use to send it to Concubine Shu's Wenchun Palace? We have checked all the food and drink supplies, rouge and water powder of Concubine Shu, and there is nothing abnormal!"

Little Zhao Zi was also puzzled and said, "This is really strange!"

Gao Lishi said: "It's really this little palace lady who stole it. She wants to sell it. You must know that this musk is a very valuable spice. Take it out to the palace, and it can be exchanged for a lot of money!"

Chang Xi said: "This servant always feels that this matter is not so simple!"

Little Zhao Zi thought for a while, then suddenly said: "Concubine Shu is pregnant with a dragon heir, Huangfu Xianyi must have gone to Wenchun Palace to congratulate her, I wonder what she gave Concubine Shu? Could there be something wrong with that thing!"

Chang Xi recalled the things that Mei Er had played with and worn recently, she had a flash of inspiration, clapped her hands and said: "Yes! Huangfu Xianyi sent many gifts that day, among them the eight-treasure glazed hairpin is the most precious, His Majesty often Tell Concubine Shu to let her get along well with Huangfu Xianyi, Concubine Shu has been wearing this hairpin given to her by Huangfu Xianyi for nearly half a month to show her affection!"

After hearing this, Gao Lishi was stunned for a while, and said helplessly: "That thing must be tricky! Let's trouble Miss Chang Xi to bring the hairpin. Let's examine it carefully before making a decision!"

"Okay!" Chang Xi hurried to the Wenchun Hall. Li Longji stayed here to comfort Meier tonight. Chang Xi secretly prayed that the hairpin was taken to the outer room by the maid. Otherwise, Meier took off her makeup and put it in the bedroom. Li Longji was there, and he said that he would not dare to go in if he was dead. What if he was killed as an assassin!
Unexpectedly, heaven did not follow people's wishes, and the eight-treasure glazed hairpin was indeed in the inner hall of Wenchun Palace. Chang Xi had no choice but to inform Eunuch Gao, and the three decided to talk about it tomorrow.

The next day, the queen summoned the six concubines in Kunde Palace. Concubine Hua, Concubine Li, Meiren Liu and others came early in the morning, sitting in the hall and chattering, all because they were dissatisfied with Gao Lishi's search for the palace.

Concubine Li and Concubine Hua have always had animosities, but this time they have reached a consensus on this matter. It is really not easy!Except for Guo Shunyi, who was taciturn, and Yu Zhaorong, who didn't like to criticize people, the rest of the palace concubines were talking about this matter.

Liu Meiren launched the offensive first, and said with a smile: "I heard that when I went to check on Concubine Hua's sister yesterday, it led to Prince Cong's flirtatious affairs?"
