Beloved Empress

Chapter 48: 047 The Queen is grounded

Views:

The Queen Mother, who had been silent until now, spoke up first: "The Ai family believes that this matter has nothing to do with Concubine Yang, and they also agree with Concubine Yang's analysis. Since the last person she saw before Concubine Dong disappeared was the Queen, then the Queen has nothing to do with this matter. Without dry cleaning, from the Aijia’s point of view, the queen should be—"

"The queen is banned from Fengyang Palace and is cooperating with the investigation of this matter. Concubine Dong's body will be carried to her dormitory first, and the others will return to their own dormitories." Jun Qianche said coldly, interrupting the queen mother's words.

The concubines immediately responded, "Yes!" and then withdrew.

Mo Qiqi glared at Jun Qianche angrily: He actually believed Yang Shihan's words and really suspected that she had killed the body.

"Huh!" Mo Qiqi angrily walked away.

The Queen Mother looked at her son with some displeasure and asked: "Che'er, why did you only confine the Queen? You should let the people from the Ministry of Punishment take her back for interrogation. Do you really believe that this matter has nothing to do with the Queen? What you are doing is Aren’t you favoring the Queen?”

Jun Qianche calmly replied: "Mother, how can sons and ministers favor the queen? Although there are lives in the harem, matters in the harem are family matters after all. If people from the Ministry of Justice are involved in the investigation, no matter what the result is, it will have a negative impact on the reputation of the royal family. They all have a great influence. The power of the Mohist family cannot be underestimated, and Erchen made this decision after careful consideration."

"Could it be that the Emperor just lets this matter go unnoticed?" The Queen Mother disagreed.

Jun Qianche's eyes turned cold, and his tone became a little colder: "I will send people to investigate this matter. If you dare to commit murder in the palace, I will not give you mercy."

Upon seeing this, Yang Shihan asked: "If the investigation turns out to be the Queen's fault, will the Emperor punish the Queen?"

A flash of coldness flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes: "If it is really Mo Qiqi's fault, the emperor can use this incident to scare the monkeys and give the Mo family a warning. Even if Mo Qiqi is not killed, she will be deposed as queen. Consigned to the cold palace. Che'er, do you think the queen's analysis is reasonable?"

Jun Qianche nodded slightly: "What the Queen Mother said is absolutely true. If this matter is really done by Mo Qiqi, I will definitely punish him severely. It is time to weaken the power of the Mo family."

The Queen Mother and Yang Shihan looked at each other and smiled.

Mo Qiqi returned to Fengyang Palace angrily, with anger in her heart that she couldn't express.

Seeing this, Banxiang comforted her and said, "My Majesty, please don't worry. With the Zhenguo Palace here, the Emperor will not dare to do anything to your Majesty."

"Don't mention Jun Qianche to me. I'll get angry if you mention him. I just accidentally discovered the body of Concubine Dong, and Yang Shihan suspected that I had killed her, but damn Jun Qianche believed her words and grounded me. It’s really hateful. He doesn’t believe his wife, what kind of husband is he? It’s really unlucky to marry Jun Qianche.”

"Your Majesty, you can't blame the Emperor for this matter!" Banxiang whispered bravely.

But Mo Qiqi listened seriously and glared at her and asked: "Banxiang, what do you mean? You don't blame Jun Qianche, but do you blame me? Do you also think that I killed Concubine Dong?"

Banxiang immediately waved her hand: "No, no, I believe in you."

"Then why did you speak for Jun Qianche? What benefits did he give you?" Mo Qiqi asked angrily.

Banxiang said with an aggrieved look: "Your Majesty, how can you say that to me! I am your maid. I have been with you since I was a child and you are the closest to me. No matter what benefits others give you, I will never betray you." , Besides, how can the emperor give the slave a benefit! The slave does not want to speak for the emperor, but he did meet with the empress before Concubine Dong disappeared. The emperor must have grounded the empress for this reason. The empress said that the slave took the emperor I have really wronged this slave."

"Okay, I'm so angry with Jun Qianche. I just said it casually. Don't take it seriously. Let me ask you, before Concubine Dong died, did I really announce that she had come to Fengyang Palace?" Could it be that I really killed Concubine Dong? If so, wouldn't he have to pay for her with his life? Wow, have you ever carried it like this

Banxia nodded: "Before Concubine Dong disappeared, the empress did announce Concubine Dong to Fengyang Palace, and she also taught Concubine Dong a lesson."

"A harsh lesson? What do you mean? How harsh is this?" Mo Qiqi swallowed and waited nervously for Banxiang's answer.

Banxiang recalled what happened at that time and narrated: "Concubine Dong has always been self-righteous and arrogant, because she was the concubine chosen by the Queen Mother herself for the Emperor. She felt that she had the Queen Mother as her backer, and she never put anyone else in her eyes. The empress was also arrogant and rude. The empress could not bear to see her the most. Three months ago, the empress suddenly sent Concubine Dong to Fengyang Palace for questioning. As a result, Concubine Dong contradicted the empress, and the empress ordered her to leave in anger. The man beat Concubine Dong hard."

"Hit Concubine Dong? Where was the beating? Is it serious?" Mo Qiqi felt that her heart was beating so fast that she was suffocating.

Banxiang nodded again: "It was quite serious at the time. The empress had someone beat Concubine Dong twenty times, and Concubine Dong's lower body was bleeding. When the empress saw this, she not only didn't calm down, she became even more angry, so she stepped forward and slapped her hard. He slapped Concubine Dong several times and said that she would definitely make Concubine Dong's life worse than death, and then drove Concubine Dong out.

I thought that Concubine Dong would use this matter to complain to the Emperor and the Queen Mother, but who knew that Concubine Dong did not do so and had people suppress the matter. Two days later, news suddenly came out from the Winter Snow Palace that Concubine Dong was missing. Then the emperor ordered a search. After more than ten days of searching, she could not be found. The empress then said that Concubine Dong had stolen a man and eloped with his adulterer. At that time, the empress announced to the public The emperor was very angry at this news and even scolded his empress! Later, there was no news about Concubine Dong, so the matter was dropped. "

Mo Qiqi broke out in a cold sweat when she heard this: Damn it, every act I did before was seeking death! It's really not easy for Jun Qianche to tolerate her for two years! If it weren't for the power of the Mo family, I'm afraid I would have died eight hundred times a long time ago. Even if he beat Concubine Dong innocently, he still claimed that Concubine Dong had stolen a man. This was cuckolding the emperor and slapping the emperor in the face! Wow, no wonder Jun Qianche grounded himself in anger.

"So, the death of Concubine Dong is indeed related to this palace. Could it be that I sent someone to kill Concubine Dong secretly and then had her body buried in the rose garden. So Concubine Dong refused to die in peace, so she took advantage of me today Go to the rose garden and let me dig up her body by accident." Mo Qiqi guessed with great imagination.

Banxiang was so frightened that she immediately looked outside the door. When she saw no one, she whispered: "Empress, how can you blame yourself for this matter! Although you punished Concubine Dong before she died, those two Ten big boards and a few slaps won't kill her! There must be someone else who killed her. Someone must have a grudge against the empress, so they took the opportunity to kill Concubine Dong and wanted to wrong the empress."

"If someone really wanted to wrongly accuse me, why would they bury Concubine Dong's body? It doesn't make sense!" Mo Qiqi was puzzled.
