home in the end

Chapter 131 Cloudy

After Hou Yunping left, Liang Yimei went to Liang Yilin and asked him about it, but Liang Yilin was young at the time and didn't think of anything.

Liang Yimei didn't dare to tell him that Hou Yunping came in over the wall, she only said that someone sent a letter to her when she was in the store today, and she was dizzy when she came back, and she just remembered it now.

Liang Yilin was still struggling with that question, "Maybe the eldest brother will know, but it's not convenient for us to communicate with him about it now, and code words can only be used to say some simple things." Some regret why he didn't play more word games like this back then .

Liang Yimei thought so.I don't know if she cured the prince with the psychic liquid, whether the prince will save their lives because of this, but, if the prince asks about the source of the psychic liquid, it will be difficult to say, and what should be done to make the prince ignore the queen order to save them without making him feel that they were asking for a favor?

No matter how distressed the two brothers and sisters are here, Hou Yunping returned home with a slightly red face. Even if Li Xuanran had something important to tell him, he would be surprised to see him like this.

"What's wrong with you?" Li Xuanran stared at him with wide eyes, then his face became serious, "Are you sick?"

Hou Yunping turned his head slightly uncomfortably, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Only then did Li Xuanran remember what he wanted to say, and said anxiously: "Concubine Ou Gui is poisoned!"

Hou Yunping taunted with unchanged expression: "It's really rare, the harem has always been under her control, and she can still poison Concubine Ou Gui."

Li Xuanran ignored his sarcasm, and directly reported the whole process, "...the empress thought it was delicious, so she asked someone to deliver a bowl to Concubine Ou Gui. Concubine Ou Guifei passed out after only three spoonfuls. This is poison, the emperor was furious and wanted to thoroughly investigate this matter, but all the evidence points to the empress... I had someone check carefully all the people I met and handled during the transmission, all of them belonged to the empress!"

A trace of surprise also flashed in Hou Yunping's eyes, "It seems that the harem is not monolithic either!"

Li Xuanran was secretly anxious, "It's okay if this matter is aimed at the queen, but what if it's not? Why is this person so generous?"

Hou Yunping's expression became a little serious, he knocked on the table and said: "It's impossible for her, I can only find it among other people, the fifth prince probably won't, let alone the prince, it's not good for him at all things, the rest..."

Hou Yunping looked at Li Xuanran with an ugly face, and said in a deep voice, "Is the other party for the Fifth Prince or the Crown Prince?"

"The crown prince has been in the limelight recently, we have to pick him out, otherwise, once the emperor suspects him, it will be difficult to make up for it."

Hou Yunping shook his head, "It's late, I'm afraid the people in the palace have already found someone who might be the prince." Hou Yunping stood up and said: "Send a message to the prince immediately, we will do nothing and know nothing, if you want to come The emperor will make a decision."

Li Xuanran frowned, then let go, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "The emperor may suspect the prince, but the queen will know the murderer behind the scenes, and dare to deal with Concubine Ou under her nose, and in her name, I think someone will be more sad than the prince."

Hou Yunping nodded, "After a long time, the emperor will know that the prince did not do it after thinking about it."

"It's not too late, I'm going to find the prince."

……

At this time, the palace was in chaos, but the queen didn't hear the noise outside, she only held Concubine Ou Guifei's hand and sat beside her to accompany her.

I don't know how long it has passed, Concubine Ou Guifei's eyelids moved, and the queen leaned into her ear and whispered, "E'er, E'er..."

Ou Guifei blinked her eyes, and when she saw that it was the queen, she smiled and said in a low voice, "Why did sister come here?"

The queen looked at her worriedly, touched her forehead and said, "How does my sister feel? Is there any discomfort on your body?"

Ou Guifei shook her head slightly, "I just feel weak and can't exert myself."

The queen breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, you have been poisoned, and now you have detoxified, and you should be fine after resting for two days." Seeing that Concubine Ou Gui was about to sit up in a hurry, the queen pressed her down, "Don't worry , I will definitely find out who did it..." The Queen's eyes flashed cold, she had never suffered from anyone except her father, and this man dared to plot against her on her territory.

Concubine Ou Gui held her hand, her eyes showed worry, "Will the emperor doubt you?"

Just as the queen was about to say something, the eunuch outside shouted: "The emperor is here——"

The warmth on the queen's face was put away, her eyes revealed coldness, she patted Concubine Ou Guifei's hand comfortingly, then stood up and knelt down to meet the emperor.

As soon as the emperor came in, he hurriedly helped the queen up, "Zitong, get up quickly, how is Concubine Ou Gui?"

"The imperial doctor said that there is nothing serious, just rest for a few days."

The emperor stepped forward to condolences to Concubine Ou Gui, and turned to ask the queen about Concubine Ou Guifei's poisoning.

The queen explained what happened, and finally said: "Your Majesty, my concubine asked for a thorough investigation of this matter. This kind of thing has never happened in the harem for many years. I didn't expect that the villain had sneaked into the harem without a sound. If you don't punish me severely this time , What will the harem be like in the future! The concubines are adults after all, and they still have the power to protect them, but what about the princes and daughters? They are still children!"

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was weighing whether what the queen said was true or false.Although he didn't believe it in his heart, but in the past ten years, such a thing has never happened in the harem. At most, the concubines are jealous. If you speak ill of me, I will give you some eye drops. Drugs are really rare. .

It is precisely because of this that he recruited more concubines, and greatly improved the status of the Ou family in the palace. The eldest daughter of the second room of the Ou family was promoted to a nobleman not long after entering the palace. He is an emperor, and he doesn't like not being controlled. The harem is another court.However, for more than ten years, the harem has been kept in perfect order by the empress. She does not compete for favor, and even takes the lead in letting him be exposed to rain and dew...

He has worked so hard for so many years, but he can only make the harem slightly chaotic for a while. He really can't believe that someone can disobey her orders under her nose and poison Concubine Ou Gui.

The concubines in the harem are also his courtiers. If the courtiers are too chaotic, it is a disaster, but if the courtiers are not chaotic, it is even more disaster!This time, he wondered if he should be thankful that a crack finally appeared in the harem.

Of course, the queen also sensed the emperor's suspicion, but she didn't explain it.

The emperor thought for a while and asked directly: "Queen, do you know that all the evidence points to you now?"

The queen knelt down and said: "That's why we have to investigate thoroughly. It is not only to make decisions for Concubine Ou Gui, but also to clean up the grievances of the ministers and concubines."

The emperor said blankly: "It's just that the people outside don't know why, so it's better to come up with a result first, to reassure people's hearts."

The queen said respectfully: "The concubine is willing to take care of Concubine Ou Gui here until she recovers. By then, the matter should be cleared up."

Concubine Ou Gui on the bed grabbed the sheets tightly after hearing this, and looked at the two nervously, the emperor just turned to look at her, Concubine Ou Gui was startled, and smiled at him with a pale face.

The emperor thought she was afraid, so he gave her a comforting look, and looked down at the kneeling queen, "No need, Concubine Ou Gui is under the care of the maids and imperial physicians. If you want to tell me, the queen should rest in Kunning Palace for a few minutes first." Today, I will let people go and find out. I will definitely return the queen's innocence."

The queen didn't argue, she kowtowed to the emperor and then slowly backed away. When she reached the door, she looked back at the inner room with a cold light in her eyes.

The queen came out and stood on the steps, looked at the crowd kneeling below, and said with a faint smile: "Since you dare to challenge me, you must be prepared to suffer the consequences!"

After speaking, he left with the people around him.

……

The queen who returned to Kunning Palace immediately found the person who was sent out to investigate. After listening to the investigation report of the female officer, a chill flashed in her eyes, "Further investigation, from beginning to end, all the palace maids and eunuchs, as well as their relatives, are all investigated. Once again, I don't believe I can't find it. I was fine when I ate it, but how did it become poison in Concubine Ou Guifei's mouth?"

The female officer hesitated for a moment and said, "Queen, could it be Concubine Ou Gui..."

The queen's cold eyes turned to her, and the female officer shuddered, knelt down and said, "It's the servant who overstepped!"

……

Concubine Ou Gui's body recuperated quickly. The emperor gave the phoenix seal to Concubine Ou Guifei on the grounds that the empress was in poor health and could not take care of the harem. Concubine Ou Guifei was in charge of the affairs of the harem. The Ou family also received a lot of gifts for a while, and the communication suddenly increased a lot.

Sitting in the Kunning Palace, the queen looked at the worried female officer, and said with a smile, "I'm not worried about what you are worried about?" There was a sarcasm in her eyes, and the emperor hadn't improved at all over the years.

"How are things going?"

The female officer's face was a bit bitter, "The servant girl found out about His Royal Highness, the maid carrying the food box has a good eunuch, and his godfather is a cleaning eunuch in the crown prince's uterus... That eunuch went to the palace to look for the maid that day. "

The queen snorted coldly, "Prince?"

The female officer was startled, and she didn't dare to speak anymore. The queen just wanted to call someone to call the prince, when she came to her senses, "No, with his personality, he must not bother to do such a thing."

She lowered her head and thought for a while, then sneered and said: "It seems that Bengong is really too kind to them, and any one or two would dare to run on Bengong's head. If Bengong doesn't do anything else, won't they let them Do you think this palace is easy to bully?"

Although the female officer didn't know who it was, she was relieved to know that it wasn't the prince. She really couldn't understand that the empress would hand over the prince for Concubine Ou Gui, as if Concubine Ou Gui was more important than her own son.

The empress knows the culprit, she must be in a good mood, and the life of the people below will be easier.Her thoughts moved, and she said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the emperor thought it was done by the prince. Do you want to find a way to tell the emperor so that the emperor doesn't misunderstand the prince?"

The queen looked at her indifferently, and the female officer felt a sudden, not knowing what she said wrong, so she called out nervously, "Ma'am".

The queen lowered her eyes and said, "I haven't found the murderer yet, how can I tell the emperor?"

The female officer's face turned pale, knowing that she had said something she shouldn't have said.
