A happy event in a fertile field: the black-bellied husband is as beautiful as a flower

Chapter 934 Is Still One Step Slower

Yin Rong couldn't help worrying, and said: "But what should the father do if he finds out about us?"

Meng Mei comforted him along his back, and said: "Your Highness, I have never even been to the mother's concubine's palace or the new prince's mansion, and I have never touched anything sent there. No matter how I search, how can I find us?" Body. Tomorrow, I can go into the palace to prove one or two things for my concubine, and I can also explain the situation. There were other palace people in the palace who could testify."

Yin Rong nodded and said, "Yes."

Meng Mei knew that even if she did not take the initiative to enter the palace, the palace would send someone to summon her.Because no matter what, she also appeared with Concubine Xu today.

Later Yin Rong asked again: "Mei Er, how did you do what happened today?"

Meng Mei said: "It's Madam Xu, she watched you grow up since childhood, so how could she have the heart to let others take away everything from you. So Madam Xu decided to do something for His Highness after knowing His Highness's pain. "

Yin Rong thought of the scene where Nanny Xu was beaten to blood in front of the palace, and couldn't bear to think about it any further.

He thought that in the future, when he was done, he must set up a monument for Mother Xu.

***
The queen has been waiting for news in the central palace, but what finally came was the death of the new prince.

The queen's complexion was not very good, and she slowly sat down on the soft chair while leaning on the pillow.

The chief eunuch and the nanny beside him couldn't help worrying, and said, "Is your majesty alright?"

The queen rested her forehead with one hand, and waved the other weakly.After a while, she said, "What's the situation at the new prince's mansion now?"

The chief eunuch responded: "The emperor detained everyone in the mansion, and then went to Concubine Xu's palace angrily. It seems that he intends to investigate this matter to the end. The slave has sent a little eunuch to inquire about the specific situation. gone."

After saying this, the little eunuch outside hurried back.

The queen asked, "How did the prince die?"

The little eunuch was panting non-stop, and said: "The slave just found out, and it seems that His Royal Highness...was poisoned to death."

"He was poisoned to death?" The queen knew it without thinking, it must not be an accident.

The little eunuch said: "The emperor checked all the daily necessities of His Royal Highness today, and finally found poisonous chopsticks on the tableware used by His Highness. And those chopsticks were sent by Concubine Xu's palace to send snacks."

The queen waved her hand, making people back off.

She began to worry in her heart, such obvious poison, the evidence pointed to Concubine Xu, would the emperor believe it?
And doing so would not benefit Concubine Xu at all.All of this looked more like someone had framed her.

Who would have this motivation?
Concubine Xu thought about it and only thought of two people.One is the Seventh Prince Yin Rong, and the other is... herself.

Concubine Xu is Yin Rong's biological mother, most outsiders would not believe that Yin Rong has such cruel heart and courage.

Outsiders don't know that she has secretly connected with the new prince, so anyone will suspect that she has this motive.Moreover, she was in the palace, so she had more people to instigate and more convenient and effective means.

Thinking of this, the queen's face became even more ugly, and she immediately called the people around her, saying: "Immediately erase all traces of my relationship with the prince, hurry up."

She didn't know if someone hit him wrongly or did it deliberately, but she realized that if she waited to die, she would most likely become the target of public criticism.

***
The affairs of the new prince's death were supervised by the Ministry of Rites, but the emperor asked Huang Gonggong to count his residence and all his belongings one by one.

All servants are under interrogation.

Eunuch Huang knew that the emperor attached great importance to it, so he was very efficient in handling affairs. This night, he finished counting all the items in the former house and the current prince's mansion.

Eunuch Huang came to report and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, this old slave checked His Highness's storeroom and found that some things are not right."

The emperor raised his tired face, his eyes were bloodshot.Now he didn't want to let go of any clues, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Eunuch Huang said: "His Royal Highness has a lot of accumulations in his treasury, some of them are gifts from the emperor, but some of them are not. But the old slave sees that those are all belongings from the palace."

The emperor asked: "Is it sent by Concubine Xu?"

Eunuch Huang shook his head.

It means that besides him and Concubine Xu, there is actually a third person in the palace secretly dealing with the new prince?
The emperor's face turned cold, and he said, "Let me investigate. All the people close to the prince will be brought here, and I will interrogate myself."

That night, the emperor stayed up all night.

And the queen in the middle palace also stayed up all night.

The eunuch ran to the central palace with a pale face and panic, and when he came to the empress, he said extremely uneasy: "Your Majesty, they have all recruited, the emperor already knows..."

The queen was twisting a string of soothing sandalwood bracelets in her hand, her fingers trembled and fell to the ground.

Everything about the new prince had been seized by the emperor immediately, and she was still a step behind.

***
The night fades away.

Dawn is coming.

The emperor didn't change his clothes, and didn't prepare for the morning court. He came out of the interrogation hall and went straight to the central palace.

The central palace is brightly lit.

He described it as a ghost, standing in front of the door of the queen's bedroom, kicking the door open, only to see the queen inside sitting in front of the dressing table.

She was wearing a bright yellow phoenix robe, and the hem of the skirt was laid back on the soft blanket. The embroidered phoenix feathers on it were glittering and lifelike.She wears a phoenix crown, graceful and solemn.

She also had a delicate appearance, but after all, she couldn't bear the polishing of time, and she seemed to have a few traces of time.

The queen is putting on her own makeup, her eyebrows are red and her lips are red, which shows that she has been amazing for a long time.

When the emperor came in, she twirled a section of eyebrows with her orchid fingers, and lightly added to the tip of her eyebrows.The figures of the two were reflected in the large bronze mirror.

She is sitting and he is standing behind her.

After the empress finished drawing, she put down her eyebrows and said as usual: "The emperor is here."

The emperor stared at her like a sharp knife, and said: "You know that I am coming. Then you should also know why I am here."

Up to now, we all know each other well.

The queen twitched the corners of her mouth, smiled dimly, and said: "If the concubine says that the death of the prince has nothing to do with the concubine, will the emperor believe it?"

The emperor said: "Do you think I will believe it?"

The queen said: "Yes, the emperor has never trusted his concubines."

The emperor said: "I hate the Xie family daughter very much, because you are all greedy for power and full of scheming. Among them, the most vicious one is you, the queen."

The queen's makeup was also pale after retouching.

The emperor asked: "How many women do you want to kill, and how many princes do you want to kill, before you give up?"

The queen maintained her smile and said, "So, in the eyes of the emperor, is the concubine that kind of person? The emperor doesn't care how much the concubine has worked hard and paid. However, the concubine was once young."
