Empress Dowager: Husband, please lie down

Chapter 357 There are many doubts, involving several people

Seeing the sky getting brighter, the anxious Empress Dowager and others who were waiting in the Hall of Qinzheng couldn't sit still, so Wu Zuo and the imperial physician came back to talk.

However, the two people's reply made Ruan Eryue suspicious.

Because, what they actually answered was that Xia Houxin did not hang himself.But before that, she was strangled to death, and then hung on the beam, making it look like she hanged herself.

However, this answer made Xia Houqing even more pushed to the forefront.

After Xiahou Zhu realized that this incident had been reported out of the palace, he was speechless by Ruan Eryue's questioning, so he quickly ordered people to block the news, so that the whole capital would not know about this matter.

Unexpectedly, soon some ministers came to the palace to inquire about the news, saying that people in the streets and alleys of the capital were discussing this matter.

The inside and outside of these words, the murderer behind the scenes is of course Xia Houqing.

I don't know who it is, who has such a great ability, not only dared to publicize the news after Xiahou Zhu ordered the news to be blocked.Moreover, he had the audacity to pin the murderer on Xia Houqing!
Seeing Xia Houzhu's complex expression, Xia Houqing was crying in her arms again and was silent. The Queen Mother waved her hand and ordered domineeringly, "Come on! Go and bring Concubine Shu to Ai's family, and the one who just answered The little maid, bring it to the Ai Family too!"

Looking at this, it seems that Xia Houqing is going to be cleared of the crime.

Xiahou Zhu stabilized the ministers who came to inquire about the news, and asked them to wait for the results in the Palace of Qinzheng. Concubine Shu and the little maid were also brought here. Ruan Eryue and Xiahou Yin looked at each other and proposed to go Look at Xia Houxin's body.

Concubine Shu has always been domineering and domineering, and now she is brought to the Palace of Qinzheng, she still does not change her nature of flaring her teeth and claws.

First, in a slightly questioning tone, he asked why the Queen Mother and Xiahou Zhu invited her over, especially to invite her guards, and even explained it directly in front of her, because the matter was related to the cause of Xiahouxin's death, so she was asked to ask questions .

Immediately afterwards, seeing Ruan Eryue and Xiahou Yin proposed to marry and look at Xiahouxin's body, Concubine Shu raised her eyebrows and asked, "Didn't it be identified, did Xiahouxin hang himself? This time I called my concubine over." What is there to ask, what's so good about the corpse? No luck."

Saying that, he frowned unhappily.

In view of Concubine Shu's usual temperament, the Empress Dowager and Xiahou Zhu felt that there was nothing suspicious about her words and demeanor.

But Ruan Eryue turned her head slightly, and smiled, "I don't know who told Concubine Shu that Seventh Princess hanged herself?"

"It's been spread throughout the palace and outside the palace, does anyone need to tell this palace?!"

After finishing speaking, Concubine Shu suddenly felt that she seemed to have said something wrong, and her complexion changed rarely. She covered her mouth with the brocade handkerchief in her hand, and frowned, "Okay, okay, if you want to see it, go and see it quickly. The Queen Mother If you want to ask the concubine if you have anything to say to the emperor, the concubine must tell the truth. The second prince has not woken up yet, if he wakes up and clamors for his concubine, I'm afraid there will be trouble again."

The second prince is the prince she gave birth to Xiahou Zhu, and he is only a little over four years old now.

Although he was only four years old, he could barely see that the little prince was a little slow-tempered.But now Xiahou Zhu in the palace only has three princesses, the eldest prince who has died, and the second prince now.

So, if something happened to Xiahou Zhu, the second prince would definitely be the only heir to the throne.

Therefore, no matter how dull or unlovable the second prince is, since he is the only prince, the Empress Dowager and Xiahou Zhu usually have some patience and love for him.

A mother is more expensive than a child, so Concubine Shu's status will naturally rise, and no one can really do anything to her because of her domineering temper.

At this moment, in order to divert everyone from holding on to the wrong sentence she said just now, Concubine Shu hurriedly took out her son, the only heir of Xiahou Zhu, and the only grandson of the Empress Dowager to divert everyone's attention.

Sure enough, seeing Concubine Shu bring out the second prince to talk about something, the Empress Dowager's expression loosened a bit, and she hurriedly said, "Concubine Shu is right, Er Yue, you and Yin Rui go to Changle Hall first. Just ask Concubine Shu."

Shang Wan'er was thrown into the cold palace, and the position of empress in the harem was vacant for half a year.

Xia Houzhu intended to make Concubine Qian the Empress, but the Empress Dowager strongly opposed it, and Concubine Qian herself did not look down on the position of the mother of the country at all, so she continued to hang it in vain.

Judging from the current situation, Concubine Shu is the only one who is qualified to be the queen.

If her reputation is damaged in the slightest, not only will she miss the position of empress, but the reputation of the second prince will also be damaged incidentally.So no matter this matter has nothing to do with Concubine Shu, it is impossible for the Empress Dowager and Xiahou Zhu to ask Concubine Shu in front of so many people.

What's more, Tuobaye is still here, so only the Empress Dowager, Xiahou Zhu and Concubine Shu entered the inner hall of Qinzheng Hall.

Ruan Eryue and Xiahou Yin got the consent of the Queen Mother and Xiahou Zhu. Seeing that Xia Houqing was aggrieved again and wanted to follow them to the Changle Hall, Tuobaye originally had 1 people who disagreed, but because of the empress dowager and Xiahou Zhu Insisting on letting Xia Houqing go to see it too, she had no choice but to give up.

Xia Houqing was thinking that even if Xia Houxin had a feud with her, but at least it was her imperial sister, and now she died so unexplainably, and the crime was pushed to her head again, she was naturally not reconciled.

In any case, see Xia Houxin for yourself, and maybe you will find something.

She has seen Ruan Eryue's excellent medical skills. She went to Changle Hall together with Ruan Eryue Xiahou Yin, and she believed that she could find a clue no matter what.

Even if you can't find anything, let's take this trip as Songsong Xiahouxin. Her fate is relatively rough, and she can be regarded as a poor person.

Ruan Eryue and Xiahou Yin took the complicated Xiahouqing directly to Changle Hall.Now that the queen mother and Xiahou Zhu nodded in agreement, unlike when they entered the palace just now, they swaggered in and saw Xiahouxin's body easily.

It's pitiful, perhaps because the death was unclear, perhaps because the palace was not as honorable as Xiahouqing in the palace, and the palace people respected and served him, or maybe because of his special status, there was no order from the queen mother and Xiahouzhu, and that was it. After she died, no one dared to touch her body at will.

So, Xia Houxin, who had been dead all night, was still hung on the beam...

Ruan Eryue glanced back at Wu Zuo and the imperial physician who came with them, and the two quickly said, "Just now the body of the Seventh Princess was taken down for examination, but without the Queen Mother and the Emperor's will, I dare not move the body at will..."
