Playful Queen

Chapter 125

With this call, Mengli realized that she was lost again, and raised her eyes to look at Concubine Hui.

"Is there something on your mind?" Concubine Hui asked softly, "What is it?"

"It's not a big deal? Concubine Hui, can you tell me, what kind of emperor is the emperor?" She suddenly remembered that Concubine Hui had followed Ziyechen when she was the prince, so she should know better, so she opened her mouth unconsciously asked this question.

"It turns out that the empress is doing it for the emperor's business." Concubine Hui smiled lightly, "Actually, the concubine can see that the emperor is liking the empress more and more. If not, he wouldn't..."

"No what?"

"I won't invite the empress to sleep with me." As she spoke, she also had a bit of bitterness on her face. Looking at the empress empress, a hint of envy appeared faintly, "Although everyone envies Concubine Yun, after the last time I went to bed with you I don't know how many people envy the empress, no one in this harem is waiting for the moment to be blessed by the emperor, to be honest with the empress, the concubines have followed the emperor, and have not been with the emperor since now..."

She hesitated to speak, but Mengli seemed to already know what she was going to say next. Hearing that Zi Yechen had taken Murong Hui as his concubine, how could it be possible that she hadn't married for four years? Thinking of this, Mengli couldn't help being surprised .

Concubine Hui could see Mengli's shock. In fact, who wouldn't be surprised if this matter was told?
Concubine Hui smiled bitterly, and continued: "If the empress thinks about it carefully, she may be able to see that the emperor treats you differently from us. He gave the status of his concubine and treated his concubine kindly, just because the concubine is the most He can't give anything he wants."

In this way, should she complain to herself or tell her about the emperor?No matter what, she couldn't listen to it, and there was no need to listen to it. It didn't matter to her who she favored or abandoned. So, Mengli changed the topic and continued the story of Nanxuan Kingdom coming to court. RBI.

I don't know how long we've been talking, it seems that the night is already very deep, Concubine Hui smiled gently, and slowly got up to leave.

"Empress, have you ever thought about it? In fact, Concubine Yun did not occupy the emperor's heart. She couldn't make up for the vacant place in the emperor's heart. Perhaps the emperor himself couldn't tell the difference between Yun and Yun. Is it kindness or affection for the concubine..."

This is what Concubine Hui said to Mengli before she left, and Mengli just said with a faint smile, maybe, really maybe.

Thinking about it, her head was a little dizzy, she fell down on the couch and fell asleep, but she didn't know that the wind was getting stronger and stronger tonight...

The next day, at dawn, Mengli was still falling asleep on the couch when she was suddenly awakened by Xi'er who rushed in.

"Niangniang, Niangniang..."

"What happened early in the morning?"

"General Shen led the army to Yanyun Pass today."

"What? Why didn't anyone tell me!" Mengli got up quickly, not knowing if it was too late to see her off, and just as her feet were on the ground, Xi'er's words rang again, "The army has gone far away I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up."

The eldest brother led the army and set off without leaving a word. For some reason, she felt a little uneasy in her heart. What exactly is this...

At this moment, Qiu Shui rushed in again, breathless, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, go and have a look, some guards came into Fengyi Hall, saying they wanted to take the dumb slave away. "

"What's the matter?" Meng Li frowned and asked.

"I heard that the concubine Yun's close maid died. Last night, someone saw that the dumb slave was arguing with Qiao Yu. Anyway, the servant couldn't explain clearly. Go and see, empress." Qiu Shui's breath was disordered. I can't explain this.

Mengli frowned even more when she heard this, it was really a wave of unrest and another wave!
"Changing clothes for me." Mengli got out of bed, and asked Xi'er to put on emerald green veil Bixialuo on herself, and her waist-length black shiny hair was loosely tied into a flying fairy bun. Cloak, and walked out of the room.

When he just walked to the front hall, he saw several guards holding the dumb slave up, and saw the dumb slave struggling constantly.

"Wait!" Mengli yelled, and saw the four guards who were about to stop, and when they saw it was the empress, they immediately respectfully said, "Greetings to the empress."

Meng Li took a look at this posture and asked, "What's going on here?"

The chief guard clasped his fists and went forward to report: "Go back to the empress, she killed the palace lady Qiaoyu of Ningyun Palace last night, and I took this palace lady to investigate."

As soon as these words fell, the mute slave who was held up shook his head desperately, his small face was pale and helpless, while the eunuchs and maids next to her looked at her pitiful appearance, and wanted to help her, but they were powerless , can only quietly look at the empress.

The court lady beside Xia Yunxi is dead?Or was it murdered by a dumb slave?
Mengli frowned, and looked at the chief guard, she was upset about some things, she didn't even sleep well, and now she's doing this kind of thing, she really wants to be in a good mood, but she won't be able to!

"Take it to investigate? This palace lady is from my palace, how can I allow you to take it away like this?"

"Empress, servants and others also follow the rules."

"Should we act according to the rules, or according to what Concubine Yun said?" Mengli raised her eyebrows, but she still couldn't tell that she was a fool. Mengli was so angry that she stared at the head guard fiercely.

Perhaps it was the empress' eyes that shocked him, "My lady, this servant just wants to find the murderer."

"Very well, I am the master of the harem, so I should be in charge of the affairs of the harem. You should tell me what this is about first!" Sitting on the soft couch with a neglected spirit, the pair of eyes gathered like a storm gleamed with a strange light.

Is the empress going to investigate this matter herself?Hearing this, the chief guard didn't dare to be negligent anymore, after all, the one in front of him was the empress, so she couldn't be offended.

"Back to Empress, this morning, an eunuch in the palace found the body of the palace maid Qiaoyu in the well. Later, after the servants questioned him, the little eunuch in the imperial dining room saw Qiaoyu and dumb Slaves are arguing..."

"Where is the body of the maid?"

"It's still in the well at the east corner of the palace, and it's about to be sent to the autopsy room." Just after the chief guard finished speaking, Mengli suddenly got up and said coldly, "Take me to the palace immediately."

"Yes, this way please, Empress Dowager."

The corner of the East Palace is located in a relatively remote part of the East Palace. It is empty and cold. The wind blows into the palace alley, making a whirring sound, like ghosts crying and wolves howling.

There is a dry well not far away, and Qiaoyu's body is placed beside the well, it seems that he has not had time to send it away in the future, and in this harem, if the palace maid is dead, there will be no other inspections, I am afraid She should be sent to the mass grave in a while, but she was treated like this just because she was the maid next to Concubine Yun.
