Chapter 518 Rescue Mei Guiren (3)
Ming Gong took over the pulse case and read it carefully several times, he couldn't help but nodded and said: "Si'er, it seems that you are right, Mrs. Mei Gui is indeed wronged, this case seems to be more complicated than I thought, among which , we must make it clear!"

"Thank you, my lord, for your insight!" Baosi burst into laughter immediately, and Axi hurriedly helped Baosi up, and said to Mingong with a small mouth: "Your Majesty, this time, you must not let go of framing our little master behind the scenes." And my little lord Mei, otherwise, our little lord will die of grief!"

"Axi, don't worry, the widow will definitely not let the person who spread rumors and hurt people behind his back!" Ming Gong clenched his fists and said.

"Are you Miss Hui'er from Peony Pavilion?" Cheng Rong, the thoughtful cabinet minister, along with Baoshang, An Tong and several Huben soldiers, suddenly appeared on the corridor of the harem of Chaoyang Palace, stopping a frightened man. maid of honor.

"That's right, this servant is Hui'er." The palace maid forced herself to calm down and replied with a bow.

"Well, I heard that Mei Guiren also has a personal maid named Hui Er, what is the relationship between the two of you?" Cheng Rong asked.

"That Hui'er's name is Mei Xiang, and she was already tortured to death in the Inner Palace's prison. This servant has nothing to do with her." Hui'er flatly denied it.

"Well, it's been more than a month since Prince Furui was murdered in Full Moon. Why are there still people in the harem spreading rumors and slandering the reputation of Jianjia Palace?" Cheng Rong asked with a slight smile.

"Well, the servants are the ones who are near the imperial concubine and empress. I don't know much about other palaces." Hui'er shook her head again and again.

"But on the day Prince Furui was killed, the maid who brought the Guqin to Mrs. Mei was named Huier. What's the matter?" Cheng Rong focused his eyes on the pale Huier.

"This Hui'er is naturally Mei Xiang who is next to Mrs. Mei Gui, and the servant is the maid who is next to Concubine Huan. How can she do errands for Mrs. Mei?" Huier said in a soft voice.

"Really? But I found out that at the family banquet that day, Hui'er who was next to Mrs. Mei was suddenly dismissed. The girl who fetched the piano for Mrs. Mei was precisely you." Cheng Rong pointed out .

"Master Cheng, this palace is huge, and more than a hundred maids were present that day, why did your lord insist on holding on to the maidservant?" Hui'er said with a crooked mouth.

"Miss Hui'er, because you have been bought by Concubine Jiang long ago and acted as Concubine Jiang's spy to monitor Mei Guiren's every move, so the poison on the guqin must have been painted on by you secretly!" Cheng Rong pointed clearly. Looking at Huier and said.

"My lord, I've been wronged!" Hui'er was immediately overwhelmed with fright, trying to excuse herself.

"Come on, take Hui'er into custody! Go to the Peony Pavilion to search immediately!" Cheng Rong couldn't help saying, and ordered Huben Jun behind him.

The night was fast, and the Peony Pavilion, which had always been calm and calm, suddenly lit up the torches. Under the leadership of Cheng Rong, countless forbidden soldiers in bright armor began to rummage through the room of His Majesty Peony, which immediately stimulated the concubine Huan who was still ill.

"Cheng Rong, you are so brave, you dare to search the place of this palace!" Concubine Huan angrily led several maids, quickly walked up to Cheng Rong, and shouted loudly.

"Reporting to the imperial concubine, the ministers are only following orders. In order to prove the innocence of the ladies, this is the only way I handle the case." Cheng Rong calmly saluted the distraught Concubine Huan.

"Nonsense! Cheng Rong, since you are handling a case, why don't you investigate the Empress's Jianjia Palace and Concubine Jiang's Qiuyunxuan, but why did you come to the Peony Pavilion in this palace to make trouble?" Concubine Huan suddenly became furious.

"My lord, I checked the rooms of more than [-] servants under the bid, and sure enough, I found some remnants of snow lotus incense and poison powder from Huier's charcoal brazier!" At this time, An Tong, the commander of the Huben Army, stepped forward .

"An Tong, good job!" Cheng Rong patted An Tong on the shoulder, turned his head to salute to Concubine Huan and said, "Your Majesty, I have offended you!" After finishing speaking, he took his men and walked away.

"It's the opposite! It's the opposite! How dare you be so arrogant!" Concubine Huan blushed with anger, and suddenly became dizzy.

In the Palace of Shuilong Shuren, on Minggong's imperial case, the remaining poisonous snow lotus powder was coldly placed. Looking at Cheng Rong standing with his hands folded, Minggong couldn't help sighing: "Who is instigating these plots? Who wants to slander and assassinate the Queen and Lady Mei?"

"Your Majesty, I think there must be something wrong at this time. I'm afraid Qiu Yunxuan's Concubine Jiang will be involved!" Cheng Rong reported.

"Her? Could it be her again?" Mingong fiddled with the brush in his hand casually, and suddenly tightened his grip.

"Report to Your Majesty, Imperial Concubine Huan is seeking an audience outside the hall." At this time, Xiao Ruzi, the imperial eunuch outside the hall, came in to report.

"I'm busy now, let Concubine Huan to wait in the palace, after the court is over, I will definitely go to see her." Ming Gong frowned, and ordered casually.

For several days in a row, the rumors in the city of Haojing suddenly became rampant again. Rumormongers talked a lot, saying that the queen's main palace was unethical, that she murdered the concubine, poisoned the prince, and even formed a clique for personal gain against the emperor's relatives.

Cheng Rong rode a steed, galloping all the way in the countryside, and suddenly found a conical bamboo hat hanging on the opposite banyan tree.
