The Life of the Concubine of the System

Chapter 39

Facing Han Gonggong's reliance on the old and selling the old in the court, Emperor Yong Ye didn't say anything, but said lightly that he would leave the matter to the empress to handle it, and the empress would handle it well.

The Korean public has made an inch and wants to speak up.

Emperor Yong Ye didn't give Han Gong a chance.

"Does Han Gong feel that my queen can't find out this matter? Or does Han Gong want me to put aside state affairs and deal with trivial matters in the harem?" Emperor Yong Ye's voice was not loud, but the tone in his words was not insignificant. .

Although the Duke of Korea has always taken credit and pride, he also knew that the emperor's tone at this time was a bit wrong.He saw that most of the courtiers were winking at him, even though he was still a little unhappy, he came out to plead guilty and said he dared not.

The atmosphere at the court was quite stagnant this time.

Emperor Yongye had always disliked Han Gong, who was arrogant, arrogant, and often took credit for himself.Therefore, after her granddaughter Han Qinghe entered the palace, Emperor Yongye treated her with neither contempt nor disdain, and even did not favor Li Jieyu who was as honorable as her.

This world belongs to the Lian family, and Han Gong's deeds, in front of Emperor Yongye, are all reminders to accelerate the demise of his family.Emperor Yongye has never been a cowardly emperor, and if he doesn't rectify now, it is for the sake of dealing with it in one go in the future, so as not to leave any future troubles.

The queen accepted the emperor's order, so she naturally understood that the emperor wanted to investigate this matter carefully.A few days ago there was the incident of An Xiuyuan's wrestling and almost slipping a tire, and the incident of Han Jieyu being poisoned these few days. If she didn't work hard enough, the emperor might have something to think about her.She must investigate this matter carefully this time to convince the emperor that she is qualified to be a queen.

She personally went to Xijing Pavilion to see Han Jieyu who was still recuperating in bed, generously took out some ginseng from her private treasury as a reward, and at the same time comforted Han Jieyu thoughtfully.

"Is Han Jieyu okay?" The queen stopped Han Jieyu from getting out of bed to salute her.

"Thank you empress, the concubine is in good health."

Han Qinghe was lying on the bed with a slightly sallow complexion and looked haggard.The fact that she was poisoned by someone really shocked her. She usually has good friends with many concubines, and she has never had any hostility on the surface.But she also knew in her heart that there were no real sisters in the harem, and she was very cautious when interacting with these concubines, but she didn't expect that she would still be in the way of others.She was a little startled, but luckily the toxin is relatively shallow at present, otherwise, she would not dare to imagine it.

The queen asked Han Jieyu a few more questions, and Han Jieyu answered them all.

She understood that the empress had accepted the emperor's will to investigate this matter carefully.The imperial doctor who saw her was from the Han family, otherwise he would not have told her the truth.When she chose to make a fuss about this matter, she expected that the emperor would definitely hand over this matter to the queen empress.It's not like she didn't think about whether her situation would be more dangerous if the empress did this.But she was more inclined to believe that this matter had nothing to do with the empress. After all, she was just a Jieyu who had just entered the palace and was not to be favored. There was no need for the empress to treat her like this.

So she simply let this matter make a fuss, and let the person who did it know, so that she didn't dare to attack her again.

The queen sat for a short time before leaving the Xijing Pavilion.Later, Xijing Pavilion welcomed many concubines to visit Han Jieyu.Even the empresses in several concubines also sent all kinds of rewards, either high-quality health-preserving medicinal materials or some bird's nest and other tonics for nourishing the body.

The queen searched for Han Jieyu's poisoning for several days but still had no clue. Everyone in the harem was guessing again and again, and they all stared at the queen.

The empress has been a little bit angry these past two days, and has been drinking clear fire tea for several days.She has been investigating the matter of Han Jieyu's poisoning for a long time, but she has no clue. The imperial physician, maids, and eunuchs have all asked about it.The food and incense were all checked, but there was no trace of it.Originally, this matter was nothing in the palace.However, this Han Jieyu's grandfather made a fuss in the previous court, and made this incident known to everyone.Now, if she doesn't find out about this matter, people in this world will not know what kind of message will be sent out.

The empress was in a hurry, and her confidant maid came in to deliver a message.

"Your Majesty, Dong Baolin said that he wanted to come to see Your Majesty."

"Dong Baolin? Ben Gong is busy. Just say that Ben Gong is resting, so let her go."

The queen's confidant, the court lady, calmed down neither humble nor overbearing, and said softly: "Empress, Dong Baolin said that she has something to report to you."

"Oh." The queen's phoenix eyes narrowed: "Then I don't mind seeing you in the palace. Tell Dong Baolin to wait in the palace."

Jingxin arranged Dong Baolin according to the queen's instructions.

Dong Baolin was drinking the tea brewed by the maid, the tea was fragrant, but she had no intention of appreciating the good tea.She was a little excited, if she succeeded in this move, not only would she climb up the big tree of the queen, but she would also get rid of her thorn in the side and the thorn in her flesh.

The empress never made Dong Baolin wait for a long time, she just changed into a palace attire and left the inner hall.

"Concubines see Empress Empress, Empress Empress Jin An."

"Excuse me. Dong Baolin, why are you here looking for me?"

When Dong Baolin saw the Queen's empress asked, he didn't make any fuss, and directly explained his purpose of coming.

"Returning to the empress, the concubine knows that the concubine is worrying about Sister Han these days. The concubine knows something that may be related to this matter, so the concubine wants to share her worries."

"What does Dong Baolin know?" The queen didn't show any eagerness when she heard Dong Baolin's words. She spoke calmly and moved gracefully, and her tone and movements were the same as usual.

Dong Baolin gritted his teeth, knowing that the queen was looking to see what she knew. If she didn't say it, she might not be able to gain the queen's trust.

"Empress, as far as my concubine knows, this is probably related to Concubine Yuegui."

When the Empress heard Dong Baolin's words, an unclear expression flashed in her eyes, and she smiled as she saw Dong Baolin secretly staring at herself.

"Dong Baolin, do you have evidence for what you said?"

Seeing that the empress did not believe his words, Dong Baolin was also a little anxious.

"Empress, this concubine is telling the truth. Concubine has seen Concubine Yue Gui and Sister Han once had a dispute in the imperial garden. Concubine also accidentally discovered that there is a maid in Zhaoyue Palace and Sister Han's big maid Xue Xue Mei is from my hometown."

"Fellow countryman?" The Empress pondered for a while, and with a general plan, she let Dong Baolin return to her palace with satisfaction.

When Dong Baolin left, her face was full of excitement, and her heart was beating "poundingly".All this is because when she left, the Empress Empress threw a sentence almost of promise to her:

"If what Dong Baolin said is true, then I should thank Dong Baolin this time."

A few days later, the empress summoned everyone to Fengzao Palace.

Yin Ruxue's Zhaoyue Palace is located in a remote place, and she is not a person who is willing to treat herself badly, so she came here in a leisurely way, even though the cherry next to her hurriedly urged her several times.

Low-status concubines came first, while high-ranking concubines were always late.When she entered the palace, many concubines had already arrived, but most of them were concubines with lower status.When all the concubines saw the arrival of Yue Gui, who was as beautiful as a flower and the crown of the harem, they all bowed and saluted.But no one came over to greet her and make out with her.

Yin Ruxue has always been a loner, a lone ranger in the palace. Seeing everyone like this, she didn't think much of it. Instead, she felt that it was good for everyone to keep such a long distance, so she found her seat and sat down to drink. Tea comes.The huge hall was full of women's voices, only her place was deserted, and Yin Ruxue felt at ease.

After a while, the belated Concubine De, Concubine Shu, and Concubine Rong also arrived, and only An Xiuyuan and Han Jieyu, who were still resting in bed, and Qian Cainu, who were grounded, were left in the palace. .

Everyone knows that the biggest incident in the harem these days is Han Jieyu's poisoning.I think it is for this reason that the Empress called everyone to Fengzao Palace today.

While everyone was whispering, the empress arrived.

"Today, I summoned the harem sisters to come here. Everyone must know what is going on. I won't say much next to me. Let's start."

As soon as the empress came in, she started to act vigorously, which made the concubines present a little dumbfounded.

"Bring it to Xuemei, the great court lady next to Han Jieyu."

A woman with disheveled hair and court ladies' attire was brought up.As soon as she saw the empress, she shouted out her innocence.The queen empress did not show any sympathy, and asked sharply:
"Xuemei, are you guilty? How dare you poison your master Han Jieyu."

Xuemei trembled even more when she heard the queen's questioning, she kept denying it.

The empress's words were even more majestic: "Isn't it true? Do you want me to punish you?"

Xuemei cried even harder, but she remained silent.

"The crime of murdering a concubine will implicate the whole family, and you still haven't found out who instigated you?" The queen changed her usual gentle and generous image, and scolded in a cold voice.

At this moment, Xuemei couldn't cry anymore. After hearing this, she raised her red and swollen eyes to show despair.

"The servant is recruiting, and I only ask the empress to let the servant's family go."

The empress cannot deny it.

"The medicine was given to the servant by the vanilla from Zhaoyue Palace. The other servants don't know anything. After the vanilla tells the servant that this matter is completed, the servant's younger brother will have money for medical treatment."

"Vanilla from Zhaoyue Palace? Come on, go to Zhaoyue Palace and bring the maid named Xiangcao." When the queen said this, she seemed to glance at Concubine Yue who was seated.

At this moment, the eyes of many concubines in the palace looked at Concubine Yuegui quite subtly, and their eyes were full of intrigue.
