good wife

Chapter 667
Concubine De couldn't help feeling depressed, these people clearly didn't want to tell the truth!If it was said that this sachet was seen on Concubine Zhao's body when it was in Kunning Palace, then the queen must be involved more or less!Presumably these people are either unwilling to offend the queen, or they just don't want to get involved in her fight with the queen!
Concubine De took a few deep breaths, and said with a smile: "It's okay, since I didn't pay attention, I will ask other questions. Concubine Zhao, when did you find out that the sachet is missing?"

Concubine Zhao didn't dare to talk nonsense this time, she thought about it, "The concubine found out that the sachet was missing after returning home."

"Then after you found out, did you ever mention it to others? After all, this is also your personal item!"

Concubine Zhao learned to be smart this time, "Go back to my mother, I told the prince that night when I was born. The prince said it's okay, maybe it was left in a corner of the palace, and when I entered the palace early this morning, I told the queen .”

Concubine De frowned, and at this moment she heard Concubine Xian's weak voice saying: "On this point, Concubine Zhao is not lying."

It was only at this time that everyone noticed Concubine Xian's complexion, she seemed a little pale, and she looked very thin.

The emperor said with concern: "Concubine Xian, your health is not good. Come here and give me a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern." After speaking, she was supported by the maidservant and sat down.Then he continued: "Early this morning, when my concubine went to pay her respects to the empress, she saw His Highness King Ming was there, and after talking for a while, before leaving, King Ming seemed to have remembered the loss of the sachet. So I reported it For the queen. The empress was a little anxious at that time. There are many people in this palace. If some people with ulterior motives pick up the sachet, I am afraid that some unnecessary troubles will be caused. Just order someone I searched everywhere. But around noon, I couldn’t find it either. The empress had no choice but to give up.”

Jingyi raised her eyebrows, what Concubine Xian said was too good!These words imply that the queen has already expected that someone will make a big fuss about the sachet lost by Concubine Zhao.Isn't this clearly referring to Concubine De?
Sure enough, Concubine De's expression was a little unsightly, but she didn't get angry. "It's a coincidence that Sister Xian is going to pay her respects when she's not feeling well. Just happened to meet King Ming!"

Concubine Xian smiled slightly, "The concubine is not as busy as Concubine De, but it's just that she is inconvenient. As the lord of the harem, the empress is a rich man. I heard that the empress is sick, how can I not go to the empress? Your Majesty, please greet me? This concubine is not up to the mark, otherwise, she should really be on the sidelines to wait on the sick."

Jingyi's face trembled slightly, if it wasn't for the wrong place, I really wanted to applaud Concubine Xian!This is clearly blaming Concubine De for not knowing the rules, and forgetting who is the real master in this harem and who is the empress of a country just because she is favored!Except for the queen, no matter what concubine is favored, she is nothing more than a concubine!The mistress is ill, it's perfectly normal for a concubine's servant to be ill!But Concubine De, you have never even visited, so what do you deserve to be an assistant to the Sixth Palace?
Concubine De's originally good-looking face finally had a crack.Concubine Xian, she just has a princess, she was okay before, but now she is not favored, and she dares to challenge her openly!
Concubine De looked up at Princess Jin, and Princess Jin understood, stepped forward and said: "My Majesty, you said just now that this sachet contains a lot of musk, but this sachet has passed through the hands of many people. Yes. It’s really not very easy to check! It’s just that the maid in the palace of the concubine must have noticed who put it in, right?”

Concubine De nodded, "Princess Jin is smart! This court lady has been found. Come, bring it here."

Soon, two nuns escorted a palace maid in.

"What's your name, where do you work, report them one by one."

"Back to your mother, the maidservant is called Jin Hong, who is serving by the side of the young concubine Wan, and is the concubine's personal maid."

"How long have you been by Wanbi's side?"

"Go back to your mother, this servant has been serving the young concubine Wan for two years."

Concubine De said coldly: "Two years? Why do you wear this sachet with musk by your side? Do you know that because you brought this sachet, Concubine Wan almost had a miscarriage?"

That Jin Hong was so frightened that she knelt down on the ground and said motionlessly: "Your Majesty, check it out! I have been wronged! I don't know that there is musk in it! I just picked it up in the garden and looked good. This girl made it It's also very good, so I put it on my body. I really don't know that there is musk in it!"

When the emperor sees this, what else does he not understand?If you know this, you can't find anything!It's really hard to guess who is trying to harm Wanbi!It shouldn't be the queen, because the queen's methods have always been vicious, if she makes a move, I am afraid that it is the child in Wanbi's belly, and she will not be able to keep it!
Concubine De asked a few more questions, but she didn't find out why, Concubine De couldn't help feeling a little anxious!Such a good opportunity to give up like this?Concubine De's eyes flashed unwillingness, and she glanced at the nurse beside her.The nun nodded and retreated, and brought a maid in after a while.

"What's your name? Where do you work?" Concubine De asked again.

As soon as Duke Ming and Concubine Ming saw this maidservant, their faces became serious at the same time!
The servant girl said tremblingly: "The servant girl's name is Xiaoyun, and she works in Kunning Palace."

"I ask you, have you seen this sachet?"

Xiaoyun looked at the tray, quickly lowered his head and said: "Go back to your mother, I have seen it."

"Oh? Where did I see it?"

"Go back to your mother, I have seen this servant in Kunning Palace. I remember that it was worn by Concubine Zhao at the time. Later, because the tea was spilled and soiled Concubine Zhao's dress, I went to the side hall to change clothes. The clothes It was the servant who found it. Later, after Concubine Zhao left, the servant sent the set that Concubine Zhao had replaced to the Clothes Bureau, and when she took the clothes away, she saw this sachet on the couch in the side hall."

Concubine De didn't ask any more questions, and turned to look at the emperor.The emperor frowned, obviously very displeased!

King Ming groaned secretly, and asked, "You said you saw this sachet in the side hall of Kunning Palace?"

"Returning to the lord, that's right. At that time, the servant girl saw that the osmanthus embroidered on it was very beautiful, and the stitching method was not bad at first glance, so she picked it up and took a second look."

King Ming was startled, "Then why didn't you return the sachet to Concubine Zhao?"

"Back to the lord, the maidservant really wanted to return the sachet to Concubine Zhao, but when the maidservant intended to send it over, Concubine Zhao had already entered the empress's bedroom, and the maidservant was only a second-class maid, serving outside Yes, I am not qualified to enter the empress's bedroom! So the servant girl thought about sending the clothes to the clothing bureau first, and then handed the sachet to the mother in the palace after returning. Unexpectedly, when the servant girl came back, the incense The pouch is gone."
