The queen mother was taken aback, looking at the brocade box in Ye Chang's hand, she seemed to have no impression, turned her head and asked the mother beside her with her eyes.
The nanny stepped forward, glanced at the brocade box, and shook her head at Ye Chang, "I don't remember the queen mother ever having this thing. The queen mother's dressing box is in the care of the old slave."
Ye Chang raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but didn't speak.
The Queen Mother looked at Ye Chang and asked, "You said just now that it contains flowers and grasses, what's wrong with this grass?"
Ye Chang didn't hide anything, and said to the queen mother, "The man in black who intercepted the third son of Su today carried the smell of flowers and grasses. Grass is almost extinct in this world."
The color of the queen changed slightly.
The nanny's complexion also changed drastically, and she knelt down on the ground with a "putong", and said to Ye Chang, "Your Majesty, this old slave will guarantee with his head that this thing must not belong to the Empress Dowager, and we have never had such a thing in Ci'an Palace." Grass."
Ye Chang glanced at her, but didn't speak.
The Empress Dowager's expression was also ugly, and she looked at Ye Chang, "The Ai family doesn't know when this kind of thing appeared in the palace, and the Ai family doesn't even know the name of this grass. Ye Shizi, don't you believe in the Ai family?"
Ye Chang looked at the Queen Mother and sighed, "It's not about whether I believe the Queen Mother or not, but that the flowers and grasses are so important that they were found from your palace. I really didn't expect it."
The Empress Dowager's face darkened, the things were indeed found in her palace, she was speechless for a while.
Ye Chang tilted his head and glanced at the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment and the Minister of Dali Si, and said, "Of course, the case can't be concluded just because of the flowers and grasses. It is still necessary to investigate."
The Empress Dowager's expression softened a little when she heard the words, she looked at Ye Chang, then glanced at the crowd and said, "As the Empress Dowager, the Ai family has no reason to do things that harm others and benefit oneself. The emperor is the son of the Ai family, and the Ai family will definitely not make him mess up." Chao Gang. Naturally, this matter must be investigated."
Ye Chang nodded, "The Emperor gave me three days to wait, and I hope that the Empress Dowager will stay in Ci'an Palace during these three days. If the Empress Dowager did not do this, I will definitely find out and return the Empress Dowager's innocence."
The Queen Mother looked at Ye Chang, thinking that although she hadn't treated Ye Chang very well these years, for the sake of the late King Rong An and Princess Wang, she had never treated him harshly. But his heart is still uncertain, Ye Chang's power now reaches the sky, he is now a sword in the hands of the emperor, and he can't keep using this to cut off her hands and feet and pull her off the horse. Thinking of this, her heart tightened, and she said softly, "Ye Shizi, the Ai family has treated you well all these years, right?"
Ye Chang smiled, "The empress dowager treats me very well." After a pause, he remembered something, and then said with a smile, "That day the empress dowager called Miss Su Fu into the palace, but after she entered the palace, she sent her away. Uncle Xiaoguo, so much so that Uncle Xiaoguo hasn't seen her so far, so I know that the Empress Dowager and the Emperor are of the same mind, and I still prefer me to marry Miss Su Fu."
The queen mother was taken aback.
Ye Chang didn't allow her to think about it, and said, "Don't worry, the queen mother, all the adults will follow me to handle the case. Black is black, and white is white. I will definitely handle the case impartially. As long as the queen mother doesn't do anything, naturally there is no need to worry. All the adults will cooperate with you." I will handle the case with justice."
The Ministry of Criminal Justice, Dali Temple and others all nodded, promising to handle the case impartially.
The queen mother always felt that there was something wrong with Ye Chang's words just now, but she couldn't tell what was wrong. She was agitated when she found a flower flower grass involved in the case in her palace.
Ye Chang turned around, waved to everyone, and left Ci'an Palace.
Because the Ci'an Palace found a flowering grass, which was related to this case, the imperial guards would naturally not withdraw. Even if Ye Chang and all the adults left, they still blocked the Ci'an Palace.
Seeing Ye Chang leave, the queen mother said angrily to the nanny kneeling on the ground, "The Ai family trusts you and puts you in charge of the makeup box. Tell me, how can there be a flowering grass?"
The nanny knelt on the ground and shook her head with a pale face, "The old slave checks the makeup box every once in a while, the last time I checked the makeup box was three days ago, you were watching by the old slave at the time, the queen mother, old slave I really don't know when such a flower face grass was mixed into the makeup box."
The queen mother raised her eyebrows when she heard this, "The flowers and plants in that brocade box couldn't have come out of thin air, could it? Has anyone been to Ci'an Palace in the past three days? Has anyone else moved the makeup box? What is your key?" Is it time to leave?"
The nanny knelt on the ground and said with a pale face, "Let the old slave think about it carefully, there must be something wrong in these three days."
The queen mother had no choice but to allow her to think carefully.
After Ye Chang and the other adults left the Empress Dowager's Ci'an Palace, they went to the Imperial Palace.
Ever since Su Fengnuan entered the palace for the first time in the morning, the emperor made trouble with the queen and asked him to think behind closed doors, these days it seems that she has been forgotten, and she has been trapped in the queen's bedroom.
After the Imperial Guards surrounded the Queen's Palace, they naturally alarmed the Queen and all the attendants inside, thinking that the Queen had committed something, the Emperor actually sent the Imperial Guards to come.
Although Ye Chang had a big handle in his hands, he didn't openly break into the Queen's bedroom to investigate the case. After all, it was the emperor's harem. He stood at the gate of the palace and asked someone to come in and report.
The queen heard that it was an investigation, and her empress palace was found. She was about to be furious, but when she heard that the empress dowager's palace had already taken the brunt of the investigation, she lost her temper and stopped objecting.
Ye Chang ordered people to enter the Queen's Palace and inspected it carefully.
A black satin robe and bloody gown were found in the Queen's Palace. The dried blood on the bloody gown was bright and fresh, obviously it had just been dyed.
The queen looked at the bloody clothes found in her palace, and said in horror, "Why is there such a thing in my palace..."
The palace people had already been terrified by the sudden inspection of the palace in the middle of the night today, and everyone was terrified.
Ye Chang said, "This is a men's robe." After finishing speaking, he said, "The blood-stained men's robe was found in the empress's palace, and the blood is very fresh." After speaking, he sighed and ordered someone to take it away. After finishing the bloody coat, he stopped talking and walked outside.
Everyone from the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple immediately followed him, and everyone was stunned. Today, they searched the palace and found a flowering grass from the queen mother, and found a man's bloody clothes from the queen's palace. Both the queen mother and the queen were searched. Get involved. This is really scary.
Seeing that Ye Chang was about to leave after only saying this sentence, the queen yelled, "Shizi Ye stay."
Ye Chang stopped and looked at the queen, "What else do you want to say, empress?"
The queen said angrily, "I have been locked up in the palace by the emperor for many days to reflect. I don't know where this bloody coat came from? Ye Shizi can't conclude that I have murdered people and wronged me."
Ye Chang said, "The case still needs to be investigated. Naturally, the case cannot be closed just because a bloody garment was found from your palace, empress, but there is no doubt that this bloody garment was found from your palace."
The queen choked.
Ye Chang said again, "Your lords and I are only responsible for investigating the case. In the end, the files will be handed over to the emperor himself, and everything will be judged by the emperor. If the empress really doesn't know where the bloody clothes came from, the emperor will definitely not wrong the empress."
The queen's face turned gray when she heard this, and she said angrily, "The emperor wishes to dethrone me and put that bitch in my place, can he be a saint?"
Ye Chang pretended not to hear the words, and left the palace bedroom.
Everyone in the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple naturally knew that the slut the queen was referring to was Concubine Yue, and they all thought they were deaf, and followed Ye Chang out of the queen's bedroom.
After leaving the Queen's bedroom, a group of people went to the Yuegui Concubine's bedroom.
Concubine Yue has been worried about the prince for a few days. It is said that she washed her face with tears. Later, she heard that the prince returned to the palace safe and sound. She was finally safe, but after the prince returned to the palace, the emperor still did not lift her palace ban. I can't swallow, and I'm getting haggard day by day. After tossing and tossing for so many days, I finally couldn't take it anymore and fell ill. I invited a female doctor from the Tai Hospital to see her. The female doctor was prescribing a medicine that calmed the nerves.
When the imperial guards surrounded Concubine Yue's bedroom, she was woken up by the panicked servants, and then she barely put on her clothes, and walked out of the bedroom with a weak and sick appearance.
She didn't even have the energy to get angry, and when she heard about Ye Chang's intentions, she nodded cooperatively and accepted the palace check.
After a thorough investigation, there was one nanny missing in Concubine Yue's palace.
That nanny was the prince's nanny. After the prince was weaned, Concubine Yue raised her by her side.
Ye Chang looked at Concubine Yue Gui, and his attitude towards her was much gentler than that towards the Empress Dowager and Empress, "Does your empress know where these two have gone?"
Concubine Yue Gui was sitting on the chair, her breath was weak, because of drinking the decoction, her whole body was filled with a strong medicinal smell, but she was extremely beautiful, even with her sick face now, she couldn't hide her beauty. She said, "After the prince returned to Beijing, I was reflecting on myself and couldn't visit the prince, so I sneaked her to visit and take care of the prince for me. Now I am in the prince's mansion."
Ye Chang nodded, and bowed respectfully to Concubine Yue, "I'm bothering you, please take care of yourself." After saying that, he waved his hand to everyone, and at the same time ordered the imperial guards, "Withdraw."
The imperial guards got the order and immediately withdrew from Concubine Yue's bedroom.
Concubine Yue stood up weakly, and also sent her a gift, "Ye Shizi and all the adults go slowly."
Ye Chang led the crowd out of the Concubine Yue Palace.
After Ye Chang and the others left the Imperial Concubine Yue's bedroom, they searched other palaces, but found nothing. After a night of tossing, it was already dawn, and a group of people left the palace and went to the residences of the ministers for a thorough investigation.
The Guozhang Mansion bears the brunt.
