Chapter 362 The whole army was wiped out

 The interrogation faced by Xingzhi was similar to that of Taozhi.

Few people can withstand the test of genocide.

Xingzhi's confession almost beat the imperial concubine to death.

She was responsible for almost all of Yunxuan's affairs. The old ladies got her instructions and used money and errands to seduce Yunxuan. She did it after covering up the situation.

"This is how the imperial concubine commands the slaves. I don't know why damaging a piano can make Gu Xi fall out of favor... I really don't understand..." Xingzhi didn't know much about the truth.

The queen mother frowned slightly. When the imperial concubine entered the palace, it was after King Li's rebellion. The past was very hidden, and many insiders were silenced. Logically speaking, the imperial concubine should not know about it.

Now, Concubine Li not only knew about it, she even knew about the piano.

Not many people in Shoukang Palace knew about this piano, and the Queen Mother could be sure that the insider would never tell anyone. From this, it seemed that Concubine Li knew too much information.

It was as if she had opened her eyes.

Before the queen mother could figure it out, someone from the palace came to report the emperor's arrival.

"Mother, the imperial concubine ran to me and cried, saying that Xingzhi was sent out, and she was going to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to discuss the matter of sending the broken flower branches, but she was taken away by your people on the way. The imperial concubine didn't know what Xingzhi had done wrong, It’s just that she can’t live without Xingzhi now,” the emperor said.

It is naturally impossible for Concubine Li to say that Xingzhi originally wanted to complain to the emperor, but changed her story. Now it seems that the Queen Mother deliberately made things difficult for Concubine Li in order to protect Concubine Li Xian.

A cold look flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes. Concubine Li was really scheming. She knew that she couldn't tell anything about King Li, and the emperor would be furious once she mentioned it, so she found such an excuse to ask for someone.

"Mother, Xingzhi's girl is nothing. It's just that the imperial concubine has not recovered from her illness yet, so she cannot do without Xingzhi's care. When the imperial concubine recovers from her illness, then Xingzhi can come to Shoukang Palace to be punished, okay?"

The Queen Mother looked at the emperor, who looked like he was discussing matters, but still spoke for the imperial concubine every word. The Queen Mother felt chilled and felt a little strange.

Her son was arbitrary in handling political affairs. Back then, she begged the emperor to spare King Li's life, but the emperor refused. Is she really so obsessed with a woman now?

Does he really not care at all about the dozens of lives in the harem? When you wake up from your dream at midnight, do you really think that the person next to you is disgusting?

The more the Queen Mother thought about it, the weirder she looked at her son. She couldn't help but ask: "Emperor, do you really like the imperial concubine that much? What do you like about her?"

The imperial concubine was indeed beautiful, but there was no shortage of younger and more beautiful women in the palace. The Queen Mother was dazzled by Luo Meiren's beauty, but the emperor was not that obsessed with her.

If we talk about the life-saving grace, the favor and promotion of the imperial concubine's family over the years have long been offset.

When the emperor faced this question, the expression on his face was dazed for a moment. He thought carefully for a long time and then said: "My son doesn't know why. Maybe he has become accustomed to her over the years. They have been in love with her for many years. When she cries, My son can’t bear it.”

The Queen Mother frowned and said, "I am also an old man who has been with you for many years. The last time Concubine Li Xian cried, you complained to her face that it was inappropriate for her to cry."

When the emperor recalled this incident, he also felt that something was wrong, but he still said: "The relationship between his son and his concubine is different from others."

After such a interruption, the emperor did not forget about Xingzhi.

But he was late after all.

The Queen Mother took a random piece of paper from her side and handed it to the Emperor. It was a confession.

"Five years ago, when Grandma Zhuang passed away, you thought it was an accident. Now it seems that there are not so many accidents in this palace." The Queen Mother said. Aunt Zhuang is not an ordinary old nanny. She was originally one of the emperor's wet nurses, but her fate was bad and all her relatives died. Aunt Zhuang didn't want to stay outside the palace, so she stayed in the palace. She was a person who loved power. The emperor asked her to manage the affairs of the four departments in the palace.

At that time, eight of the twelve divisions in the harem were controlled by Concubine Li. Concubine Li was unhappy without the affairs of these four divisions. Two people who also liked power, and when they had conflicts, they immediately started fighting with each other. Like black eyes.

The fight ended with Aunt Zhuang accidentally drowning, and Concubine Li took charge of the harem and was in the limelight.

The Queen Mother also knew that the death of an ordinary concubine could not affect the Emperor at all. He would only anger the Imperial Concubine if it involved someone he cared about.

Sure enough, the emperor's eyes were red with anger at this time.

He had eight wet nurses, and Aunt Zhuang was not the worst off, because the other seven wet nurses died either because of illness or because they were poisoned while protecting him.

Aunt Zhuang finally survived. The emperor wanted to support her until his old age, but he didn't expect that she would die at the hands of a noble concubine.

"Vicious woman!"

Seeing the emperor's red eyes, the Queen Mother couldn't help but feel distressed and said, "The Ai family knows that you are reluctant to part with your concubine, but Xingzhi, as the person who will carry out this matter, will definitely not be able to keep her."

The emperor knew that the empress dowager was stepping down for himself, and he would definitely not let the imperial concubine pay for Aunt Zhuang's life. Li Ziqin had just saved her, and even demoting the imperial concubine would be afraid of upsetting the hero.

"During this period, it is better for the imperial concubine to stay in her palace." The emperor said.

The Queen Mother suddenly changed the topic and said: "The Ai family still remembers that when the imperial concubine first entered the palace, she was so bright and lively, and she seemed to be gentle and kind-hearted. Most of the stupid things she has done now are not her true intentions. ”

The emperor glanced at the Queen Mother in surprise, wondering why the Queen Mother suddenly spoke for the noble concubine.

"Emperor, the Ai family feels that there is something wrong with the people around the concubine. Not only do they not know how to persuade the master, they also keep trying to get angry. Since you feel sorry for the concubine, why not personally send a group of people to serve her, so as to prevent her from committing the same crime again? Big mistake, irreversible at that time.”

The Queen Mother will replace the people around the imperial concubine in just a few words.

The emperor could naturally see her intention, but now he really thought about it seriously.

Both of them knew whether the imperial concubine was vicious or not, but now she was like a hot potato, unable to kill or tolerate her.

"That's fine. If we can make her live in peace and contentment, it will be the end of the relationship between me and her that we have had as husband and wife for many years." The emperor thought that it would not be a bad thing to keep the imperial concubine in captivity.

As for whether the imperial concubine was willing to live such a life, the emperor did not think about it.

Concubine Li was waiting eagerly in Guanju Palace. She was sure that the Queen Mother would not dare to mention King Li, so the apricot branch would definitely be released.

During this period, two palace maids entered Guanju Palace one after another. The people serving below were already panicking. Not only was Xingzhi carrying something on her back, but Concubine Li also had to fish out Xingzhi to prove that she was still the same. She is the most favored concubine in the harem.

It's just that she waited, but instead of waiting for Xingzhi to come back, she waited for the person coming from the imperial court.

Qian Rongsheng waved his hand, and all the servants serving in Concubine Li's palace were arrested, and a group of new faces were replaced.

"Eunuch Qian, what are you doing? I want to see His Majesty!" Concubine Li tried to stop Qian Rongsheng.
