Concubine, she is so charming

Chapter 56 The enemy is in the dark and I am in the light
The next day, Fengqi Palace greets you.

Because of the strict investigation of Yi Wanrong's miscarriage in the palace, everyone was cautious, but there were few quarrels.

The queen mother still doesn't see anyone, she was really angry before, and then she caught a cold in the cold at the beginning of the month, and now she is really sick and uncomfortable.

Chen Wanrong also dedicated herself to serving by the bedside day and night, which dissipated a lot of the empress dowager's resentment towards her for being unfavorable.

Concubine Wen was due to give birth in less than a month, and the queen was arranging for the delivery, preparing for the New Year's Eve banquet, and investigating Yi Wanrong's miscarriage.

On this very day, just as they were leaving to pay their respects, He Dahai, the eunuch in charge of the Punishment Division, rushed to Fengqi Palace.

"Empress, it's not good, the woman who committed the crime was poisoned to death!"

As soon as He Dahai came in, he knelt on the ground, sweating all over his head. He didn't know whether he came out from running too fast or was frightened.

"What?" The queen was shocked, "A place like the Punishment Department, why did you ask poison to get in there!"

"Slave, I have ordered people to watch carefully, but today the woman drank a bowl of porridge in the morning, and she was gone. It took less than a cup of tea, her seven orifices were bleeding, and she couldn't be saved even if she called the imperial doctor. Live!" He Dahai cried with a sad face.

Because there is a case to be investigated, this person can't be called starved to death. He was still given two bowls of porridge every morning and evening, but poison got mixed in somehow, and this happened.

The queen's eyelids twitched, and she was anxious and angry. How can she investigate the case when this person is dead?

However, it was she who asked to investigate the case herself, or the emperor ordered to give a result. Now that there are so few people, others think it was her who did it.

After all, only the queen's people can get in touch with that woman during this time.

"You follow me to see the emperor." The empress had a big head, but she had to report to Jiuchen Palace.

Jiuchen Palace.

After hearing He Dahai's words, Ning Chen smashed a teacup immediately.

It happened to hit He Dahai on the forehead, and he bled immediately. He Dahai didn't dare to hide, he gritted his teeth and begged for mercy.

In the court today, Wu's father was in great grief and begged him to find out the real culprit who murdered the emperor's heir. Now it's time to tell him that the person is dead and the clues are broken. Isn't it difficult for him?
"Your Majesty, this is the concubine's mistake, please punish the concubine, but please trust the concubine, if the concubine is the real culprit behind it, she will never ask to investigate the case and poison the woman to death. It's too obvious, and this concubine thinks that the person behind it must be afraid of being found out, so he kills people!"

The queen knelt down and defended herself a few words.

She was so pissed off, the person who did it was obviously not only trying to break the clues, but also meant to pour dirty water on her.

Ning Chen turned the wrench in his hand, took a deep breath, and still helped the queen up.

"Don't worry, I won't suspect you, but He Dahai has neglected his duty in this matter, and he will die."

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive my Majesty, my servant!" He Dahai cried.

Yuan Jiu didn't give him a chance to speak, so he took out the handkerchief in his sleeve and gagged his mouth, signaling the two eunuchs guarding the door to drag him down.

The queen was startled, she squeezed her hands and said nervously, "Your Majesty, that matter."

"He Dahai, the eunuch in charge of the Punishment Department, was bribed by the murderer of the emperor's heir. After poisoning the prisoner, he was discovered. He committed suicide in fear of crime. The clues were interrupted, and the person behind it could not be found. Yi Wanrong lost her son and became a beauty."

Ning Chen's eyes were terrifyingly dark, and his voice was so cold that the queen couldn't help shivering.

"Empress, I don't want this kind of thing to happen in the harem again. Concubine Wen is about to give birth. If something unexpected happens, you can figure it out."

"The concubine must take good care of Concubine Wen's fetus, as well as Wang Jieyu and Xia Cairen, and absolutely dare not call the emperor's heir any harm." The queen's voice trembled a little.

Although they were young couples, since entering the palace, Ning Chen's majesty of the emperor has become more and more apparent. She is no longer as casual as when she was hiding in the mansion, and now she is a little afraid.

After coming out of Jiuchen Palace, a gust of wind blew by, the queen couldn't help shivering.

Only now did she realize that in winter, she was sweating profusely.

After she left, Ning Chen issued another decree that Yi Wanrong's elder brother, Wu Yiping, was promoted to a higher rank, and the Wu family also received a lot of rewards as a consolation for Yi Wanrong's murder.

The Wu family was naturally satisfied. Being pregnant for more than a month, in exchange for these many benefits, they wisely stopped making trouble.

But in this matter, Ning Chen somewhat doubted the queen.

The so-called darkness under the lamp, after all, the empress had done something to her sons when she was hiding in the mansion, and now Wu and Ye have a good family life and love, so killing two birds with one stone is naturally a good strategy.

But there is no evidence for this matter, and one can't do anything rashly. After all, the empress is in the middle palace. Only when Ning Chen gives her enough face can the concubines in the harem be obeyed and chaos will not arise.

Moreover, it is not necessarily only the queen who can do things in the Department of Punishment.

Several high-ranking figures in the harem, Concubine Shu, Concubine Wen, Concubine Jing, Yan Xiuyi, and even the Empress Dowager or Grand Concubine, have been in the palace for many years, and they are enough to make a lot of contacts.

Back to the present, when the news came out, Yao Xiang was drinking tea with the imperial concubine in Ci'an Palace.

"This kind of thing happened right under our noses, it seems that the Xie family is not very useful." The imperial concubine mocked.

Yao Xiang's face was light, "I don't know who is behind it, it's so clean, even if the emperor didn't convict, but what happened to the queen will make people suspicious."

The noble concubine smiled, "Look, there are still capable people in the harem."

After a pause and then sighing, he took Yao Xiang's hand, "You girl, you don't lack in looks, skills, and talents. How can the emperor treat you indifferently?"

"Perhaps, the time has not yet come." Yao Xiang lowered his eyes, "The emperor has some prejudices against the Yao family. When he first entered the palace, Mrs. Chen was jumping up and down, and she didn't do well even with the support of the queen mother. My niece thought about it, the water is flowing, Make a down-to-earth look, and after a long time, the emperor will always remember it."

The imperial concubine nodded, "You have always been prudent, since you have a plan in mind, then Aijia will not say much."

Yao Xiang responded with a smile, got up and rubbed the shoulders of the Grand Concubine, coaxing the Concubine to be more and more satisfied with her.

She had her own plans for the fight for favor, and counting the time, the opportunity she was waiting for was coming soon.

In her previous life, she relied on this matter to become a concubine in one fell swoop and win a place in Ning Chen's heart. How could she let go of such a good opportunity in this life.

Moreover, it is even more necessary to prepare carefully so that you can get more benefits.

With her death, Yi Wanrong's miscarriage can be regarded as a turning point.

It is true that Ye Yun has been recovering from illness these past few days, but he has been thinking about the strangeness of this matter in his heart.

In her opinion, although the queen was suspected, if it was her, it would be more convincing to just pull out someone to take the blame than to kill the woman directly.

Twice in a row, the last time it was Li Mei who was responsible, but this time there was no suitable scapegoat, so no results were found.

This feeling that the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light made her very uncomfortable.
