Chapter 222

"Dead?" Concubine Xiao Gui sneered and sneered, "She is loyal enough to this old witch!"

She didn't expect that Aunt Chun would die because of the shock she had to be trusted by Empress Dowager Xiao under the horror and grief.

Concubine Xiao Gui took a deep breath: "You guys deal with the scene, I'm going to see the emperor!"

"Yes, ma'am."

Concubine Xiao stretched out her hand to loosen her hair bun, desperately thinking about her grievances over the years, the emperor didn't like her, the queen mother returned to help the eldest princess mother and daughter, the eldest prince was unable to become the crown prince, and the only daughter married far away .
Thinking about it, Concubine Xiao's eyes turned red, and tears welled up in her eyes. She began to cry, crying "Queen Mother, Queen Mother!" while rushing towards Qianqing Palace
The queen mother died of illness!

As soon as this news came out, the court was shocked!
Concubine Xiao originally had someone hide poison in Aunt Chun's room, and then ordered Aunt Chun to be made to hang herself in "fear of crime" and put the blame on her.

Anyway, the Empress Dowager Xiao was dead, and Aunt Chun "judged herself in fear of crime". She was the biggest in the harem, and she had the final say. Even if the emperor wanted to investigate thoroughly, it would not be so easy.

As for why Aunt Chun did this, how did she know?Perhaps, Aunt Chun was bribed by someone?

As for who it is, she doesn't know, anyway, it can't be her!

As we all know, the queen mother is the Xiao family and her aunt. At least in the eyes of outsiders, the queen mother must wholeheartedly stand by the Xiao family and help the eldest prince.

Then, as the eldest prince's concubine, how could Xiao Guifei murder the queen mother?Isn't that absurd?It's impossible for anyone to believe it - it's not just a question of whether you believe it or not, but even if you doubt it, no one will doubt it in this direction.

Then, using the method of elimination, there is some ability in this palace, except Concubine Xiao Gui, who is Concubine Zhong Xian, and Concubine Zhong Xian will naturally become the number one object of suspicion!

Maybe taking advantage of this opportunity, he can also pour dirty water on Concubine Zhong Xian by the way, killing two birds with one stone.

Even if it ends up being dismissed due to insufficient evidence, it will certainly have some impact on Concubine Zhong Xian.

Concubine Xiao Gui never expected that she would stumble to the Qianqing Palace in a mess, with tears all over her face, and just said with tears, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is dead!" Empress Dowager, has the Empress Dowager died of illness?"

Concubine Xiao was overjoyed after being stunned for a moment, her tears fell, her body softened and she knelt on the ground, she lowered her head and cried: "Yes, the Empress Dowager has passed away! Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

died of illness?She really didn't expect the emperor to say that!But it was better to say it this way, it was a thousand times better than she had imagined before.

Although it seems a pity that Concubine Zhong Xian cannot be involved because of this, it seems more natural and less troublesome.

Since the queen mother "died of illness", the emperor didn't even need to investigate, everything went smoothly.

Emperor Yuanping sighed, tears fell, and ordered a mourning for the Queen Mother.

Concubine Xiao was in a hurry to get the order to handle the funeral for Empress Dowager Xiao.

After that, he was busy looking for an opportunity to take away the poison that was ordered to be hidden in Aunt Chun's room.

It is also easy to understand why Aunt Chun "suicide" afterwards.

Miss Chun has always been loyal to the Empress Dowager, serving her all her life, and when the Empress Dowager died of illness, Miss Chun was heartbroken and reluctant to let go of her master. She was willing to follow her master underground and continue to serve her master. This is her loyalty and she deserves to be commended.

Empress Dowager Xiao was sick in Japan these days, and the Tai Hospital asked for a pulse every day, so the news of her death spread, although everyone was very surprised, but after thinking about it, they thought it was nothing strange.

The imperial hospital asked for a safe pulse for the empress dowager, and the imperial physician who saw the doctor was a little more surprised than others, thinking that the empress dowager's illness would never be like this.But as an imperial physician, seeing too many nobles, dignitaries, and wealthy families, I can't say anything, so I can only pretend to be deaf and dumb, so how dare I say a word more?
Now he doesn't dare to do anything, since the palace said that the Empress Dowager died of illness, then she died of illness, he had to act calmly, otherwise, even he would not survive.
When the news reached the Xiao family, the Xiao family was filled with gloom and mist, and countless wailed.

The few people who knew the inside story were trembling with fear, feeling a chill rising from the soles of their feet and spreading throughout their bodies in an instant.

Master Xiao spurted blood from his heart, clutched his chest and gasped for breath, burst into tears instantly, and murmured tremblingly: "Confused! Confused!"

The Empress Dowager's health has always been excellent, minor ailments and pains are normal, and it is impossible to "die of illness" no matter what.

It's the noble concubine and the eldest prince!It must be them!

He knew that the imperial concubine and the empress dowager had always had a rift, and it was not a day or two since the imperial concubine had resentment towards the empress dowager, and this time such a shocking event broke out, it is not an exaggeration for the imperial concubine to hate the empress dowager to the extreme.

Even if the imperial concubine puts the queen mother under house arrest, he still thinks it is acceptable!But why did the Queen Mother die?Why... must she die?

That's her aunt. Without her, would the Xiao family have what it is today, would she and the eldest prince have what they are today?No matter how many faults she has, she is not guilty of death!

Master Xiao's heart ached beyond words.

The imperial concubine and the eldest prince moved their hands so quickly, without leaving any room, and did not greet the Xiao family in advance, the fear is that he will stop and speak well for the queen mother, right?Do they hate it so quickly, so quickly that they can't wait?
Master Xiao seemed to have aged ten years overnight.

The children are all grown up and occupy a high position, so it's beyond his control.
The Queen Mother passed away, and the whole country mourned. The palace was white and barren. All the red decorations were removed from all the houses in the capital, and the bright colors on the clothes and hair buns were all removed.

The news spread to the Zhuangzi where Luo Weiyun and Deng Zhao were located in the afternoon.

When the news came, the two were riding horses in the valley behind Zhuangzi. This was an extremely important matter, no one dared to delay, so the guards hurriedly rode their horses to the back mountain to find someone.

The two were shocked at first when they heard the news, and then understood.

Deng Zhao was so surprised that he blurted out: "So fast!" Luo Weiyun took a deep look at him.

He originally thought it would be at least ten days later, but he did not expect Concubine Xiao and the First Prince to be so impatient.

Deng Zhao is the son of the Marquis of Linchang, and the Marquis of Linchang is far away in Shu, so his son represents the Marquis of Linchang in the capital.

After such a thing happened, it was naturally impossible for Deng Zhao to take his newlywed wife to live leisurely in the suburbs of Beijing. The two immediately returned to Zhuangzi, changed into plain clothes, and returned to Beijing overnight.

After returning to Beijing, the couple got busy.Needless to say, Deng Zhao had to enter the palace every day, and the wife of the Marquis of Linchang also had an imperial order, and Luo Weiyun also had to enter the palace to kneel.

Ask for a ticket or something, is there any?
