Nongmen beautiful wife

Chapter 348 Can't find anything

The queen loves the emperor very much, but the queen knows that she is old and decrepit, and liking the new and loathing the old is a common problem of men, so in order to keep her virtuous impression in the emperor's heart, the queen has always been very magnanimous.

Hearing that the emperor wanted to see her, the empress who was copying scriptures changed her clothes and went to Yanqing Palace. The emperor summoned her not in the Hall of Mental Cultivation nor in the Imperial Study Room, but in the bedroom of a concubine. The empress guessed that something happened in the harem It's just that when I, as the lord of the harem, didn't know it, I let the emperor know it first. This should be the reason why the emperor summoned me this time.

The queen is indeed a husband and wife who has been with the emperor for decades. After a little analysis, I thought of the reason why the emperor summoned her. Concubine Xiang was so uneasy, but went to Yanqing Palace very calmly.

Seeing all the palace people in the Yanqing Palace kneeling outside the hall, the queen had some guesses in her heart. After walking in, she found that there were two imperial physicians inside. The queen became more certain about her guess. The queen first told the emperor After the ceremony, "The courtiers and concubines will see the emperor, and the emperor will be blessed."

Then the concubine Xiang, the two imperial physicians and Qing'er in the palace also saluted the queen one after another, "See empress empress."

The queen made a gesture of 'rise', and the queen stood beside the emperor, "The emperor summoned his ministers and concubines, what's the matter?"

"There is no concubine in the harem, doesn't the empress know about this?" There was no joy or anger in the emperor's tone, but the empress knew that the emperor was in a fit of anger at this time.

The queen knew how to assess the situation, "The emperor forgives the crime, but no one came to inform the concubine, so the concubine did not know." This sentence not only answered the emperor's question, but also indirectly explained to the emperor why she did not know about it. .

The emperor naturally heard what the queen meant, so he didn't get angry with the queen. Although the queen is the master of the harem, she can't know everything. Besides, the queen is the middle palace, so naturally she won't do everything by herself. "You first Go in and have a look."

"Yes." The queen didn't ask why, and after saluting to the emperor, she went to the inner room. Xu Guiren was still lying on the bed with a pale face. The queen unconsciously picked up the handkerchief and covered her nose. The more taboo such things are.

Fang Fei, the palace maid next to the queen, dragged the queen's arm, "Your Majesty, it's unlucky here, let's go out quickly." How could the Emperor let his empress come in and watch such filthy things?

The queen knew that the emperor blamed her for not taking good care of the harem as a queen, so as to avoid the emperor's worries, but she had to consider her own face in front of everyone, so she let her come in to see, "It's okay, okay, Let's go out."

Seeing the queen coming out, the emperor said, "Has the queen seen it?"

"Yes, it's just that the concubine doesn't know, how could Xu Guiren suddenly..." The queen is not ignorant of the methods of the women in the harem, but the emperor may not be clear. Seeing the concubine Xiang kneeling in front of the emperor, the emperor Not in a hurry to deal with her, the queen knew that someone must have taken advantage of concubine Xiang in this matter.

"It is the red jujube porridge that Concubine Xiang sent last night. Hedinghong was added to the red jujube porridge. Such a poisonous poison as Hedinghong is not allowed to be brought into the palace. The queen is in the harem every day. Is it such a serious matter?" Haven't found any?"

The queen didn't shirk her responsibility, and knelt down in front of the emperor, "The emperor forgives the sin, it is the concubine's dereliction of duty."

"How does the queen think this matter should be handled?"

The queen thought for a while, "The concubine thinks that Xu Guiren should be buried first, but Xu Gui suffered a lot of grievances during his life, I wonder if the emperor will posthumously grant Xu Guiren's position?"

The emperor thought that Xu Guiren had indeed suffered a lot of grievances during his lifetime. It was because he didn't care enough for her that she lost the dragon fetus first, and then people were killed because she had his own favor. Concubine, I will be buried according to the rituals of the concubine."

"Yes, this concubine thinks that I should investigate this matter and return Xu Guiren... Fair concubine Xu, and concubine Xiang innocent."

Concubine Xiang kowtowed to the queen again, "Thank you, empress, for your compassion, and my concubine, thank you, empress."

The emperor stood up, "Just do what the queen said, we must find out about this matter, I must correct the atmosphere in this harem, lest you all take me for a fool!"

The queen and concubine Xiang hurriedly said, "The concubine dare not."

The emperor did not answer the words of the two of them, and directly strode out of the Yanqing Hall. The emperor liked Xu Guiren very much, at least for now. Xu Guiren's death was too sudden, and the emperor seemed to have been hit. After that, the imperial study room sat blankly for a long time, but not a single note was approved.

After the emperor left, the queen stood up straight, turned around and said to Concubine Xiang, "Concubine Xiang, before you find out at this time, I will wrong you not to come out and walk around in your palace. I did this for the convenience of investigation. , and the second is to protect you."

"Yes, my concubine understands, thank you empress for your painstaking efforts."

The news of Xu Guiren's death was like a gust of wind, and quickly spread throughout the palace. It was heard that the emperor wanted the queen to investigate thoroughly. There is no need to go to war like this, but no one dares to say such things in the open, at most they talk about them behind their backs.

It's just that the queen has been searching for half a month, but still can't find out which concubine is behind the plan, and even the origin of the red crane crest has not been found out. People interrogated the palace servants in Xiangpin's palace, but after a series of criminal laws, they still didn't find out anything, and each of them had their own witnesses.

Even the maid who brought porridge to Xu Guiren met the palace servants around Concubine Shu on the way. The maid next to Concubine Shu went to the imperial dining room to get the supper for Concubine Shu. Okay, Concubine Shu and Concubine Xiang have never been involved, so the testimony from Concubine Shu is also credible.

What Eunuch Xi did didn’t leave any traces, the queen naturally couldn’t find out, the queen couldn’t find anything here, the emperor angrily scolded the queen for being incompetent, but when the emperor went to investigate by himself, the same thing was not found, the emperor Surprised in my heart, what kind of person can put poison into the porridge under the eyes of everyone?

Neither the emperor nor the queen found out anything, and this matter could only be let go in the end, but the emperor has been secretly investigating, but the person appointed by the emperor is Xi Gonggong, because the emperor has an impression of Xi eunuch That's right, he is someone who can speak and is capable, so he entrusted the matter to him, but in this way, it is doomed that the emperor will never know the ins and outs of this matter for the rest of his life.
