"Niangniang, the slaves checked those slaves. They had contact with several slaves in the master's womb before, but they found out that they were all ordinary contacts, and there seemed to be nothing suspicious."
"The less suspicious it is, the more problematic it is. The queen threw away the chess pieces in her hand in a cold voice and made a mess of the game in front of her." Since the incident happened in the harem, Heyu, let other empresses also come to accompany this palace to try those daring ones. 's servants. Everyone gathered firewood and the flames were high, and they would soon be able to catch the murderer behind the scenes. "
"My lord, see you." He Yu bowed and asked after hesitating, "Do you want to tell me where Zhao Chongyi is?"
"Since it has something to do with Zhao Chongyi, it's natural to say something. The queen picked up a white chess piece and played with it, "It's rare to have a child who is gone, and you should know why it's gone. "
"The servant will go here." He Yu sneered in his heart, not knowing if Zhao Chongyi could accept the fact that the child was gone now, it was not easy to have a child in this harem. It was also fortunate that the emperor left a child for her, and she had no ability to keep it by herself, so the empress was scolded by the emperor.
When He Yu entered Xihe Palace, she felt an indescribable depression. Thinking of Zhao Chongyi's blood-stained fox fur that night, she adjusted her face so that she looked sad enough to walk towards the eunuch guarding the gate. go.
"Isn't this Aunt Heyu, I'm here to greet you." When Fu Bao saw Heyu brought two palace maids in, he hurriedly smiled and stepped forward to greet you, "What kind of wind blows you here today?"
"Eunuch Fu is very polite, I also came to see Zhaochongyi on the decree of the Empress." She paused and asked with concern in her eyes, "How is Zhaochongyi?"
Seeing that the two little palace maids behind her were holding things in their hands, Fubao knew that this was a reward from the queen, so he led people in, but with a bit of bitterness on his face, he sighed: "My master has not been in the past few days. After eating well, everyone has lost a lot of weight, and those of us who are slaves feel distressed when we look at it."
"We're servants, don't we just look forward to the master?" He Yu also sighed, "The Empress has been very worried about Zhao Chongyi these days, so she asked me to visit. Because of the miscarriage of Cha Zhaochongyi, I came to visit by myself."
"It's embarrassing for the goddess, the servants are here to thank the goddess," Fubao said, and then gave a big gift to the Queen Jingyang Palace, and just got up and continued to take Heyu into the house, and when he got to the outer room, Fubao smiled at Heyu , "Sit down with Aunt Yu and have a cup of tea, and I'll report to the master."
"Eunuch Fu is free, although Heyu is the steward aunt in front of the queen, she doesn't dare to sit and wait in the master's womb, she just stands in the outer room and waits, she casually looks at the decorations around, although these decorations do not violate the rules , but it is not difficult to see the emperor's love for each piece of delicate ornaments.
"Aunt Heyu, Yun Xi came out of the inner room and greeted Heyu with each other," the master asked Aunt Heyu to go in. "
Entering the inner room, He Yu saw Zhao Chongyi lying on the bed at a glance, with blue silk scattered behind him, against the pale face, a little less gorgeous but a little more delicate.
"I saw Zhao Chongyi, and I bowed to Yu Shang."
"Thank you Aunt Yu, Yun Xi, take a seat."
"Xie Zhaochongyi", Heyu slightly touched the embroidered pier, and dared not sit still. Seeing Zhaochongyi maintaining an ugly smile, Heyu told the queen's reward, and said: "The queen has always been concerned about Zhaochongyi. Regarding the miscarriage, a few suspicious eunuchs and palace maids were caught two days ago, and they are going to be interrogated today, can Zhao Chongyi go together?"
When Zhuang Luoyan heard the word Xiaochan, his face turned pale, and when he heard some suspicious eunuchs and palace maids were caught, his color changed, he propped himself up and looked at Heyu, "Who are they?!"
He Yu met each other's eyes, and there seemed to be a beast hidden in those eyes, ready to tear people apart at any time. She slightly staggered her gaze and said respectfully, "Zhao Chongyi will know as soon as she leaves."
"Aunt Lao told the Empress, I'll go here." Zhuang Luoyan barely maintained her composure, but she couldn't hide the resentment in her tone.
"The interrogation will begin after half an hour, and the slave will report to the Empress." He Yu got up and saluted Zhuang Luoyan, admiring the Empress's scrutiny, Zhao Chongyi really couldn't help it, and the matter was temporarily settled. It doesn't matter if you don't know, at least it can disgust her.
After Heyu left, Zhuang Luoyan wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, took out Mrs. Tang from the quilt, and said with the corners of his mouth, "Yun Xi. Dress up for me, and I'll have to watch a show later.
"Yes," Yun Xi took over Mrs. Tang from Zhuang Luoyan's hands with a smile, and she didn't know who was plotting against whom later.
Concubine Shu Gui sat in front of the mirror and looked at the face in the mirror, "Lingsha, who do you think the queen wants to put this on?"
"The servant is stupid and can't guess," Lingsha put on a plum blossom hairpin for her. "It's just that the servant thinks that even if the queen is casually framed by others, the emperor must believe it and show evidence."
Concubine Shu Gui sneered: "She lost such a big person before, and she may have a lot of fire in her heart. Let's go and see which role she is going to play. Zhuang Luoyan has no children, and at least she has the emperor's love. She has lost all face. I'm looking forward to her being framed, otherwise I'll find her whereabouts."
In the Qianzheng Palace, Feng Jin copied a character, and when Gao Dezhong came in, he asked, "What's the matter?"
"Go back to the emperor, the queen's concubine is going to interrogate the guilty slaves today, and she has called several concubines to interrogate them together." Gao Dezhong glanced at the calligraphy and paintings on the table, his strokes were sharp, with an indescribable spirit.
"She's smart," Feng Jin thought of something, and then asked, "Has Zhao Chongyi gone?"
"The servant heard that the Empress had specially asked the steward aunt around her to inform Zhao Chongyi, and Zhao Chongyi rushed to Jingyang Palace shortly after the steward's aunt left."
Frowning involuntarily, Feng Jin called someone to wait and wash his hands, "Since that's the case, I'll go take a look too."
In the side hall of Jingyang Palace, several concubines sat down one by one according to their grades. Looking at the six eunuchs and court ladies kneeling at the bottom, no one said a word, even the concubine Rou, who had had a festival with Zhuang Luoyan. Look at the nose, nose, and heart.
"Empress Empress, ladies and gentlemen, these six people are the bold servants. The steward of Jingyang Palace saluted everyone, "Please ask the Empress and all the lords to interrogate them. "
The queen glanced at Zhuang Luoyan, as if she wanted to see her performance, but only to see the other party's face was pale, and she didn't seem to have the strength to ask. In the end, she had to turn her eyes to the others, "What do you sisters think?"
"Naturally, it is up to the Empress to decide," Concubine Shu Gui said in a respectful tone, completely refusing to accept the Queen's tricks.
The other concubines were silent. As for Ye Shurong, the concubine, who had never participated in the first-class state banquet, she was even more careful, who knew who this matter would fall on.
"You all raised your heads, but Ben Gong wanted to see how hated the face was before he dared to murder the emperor's heir." The Empress did not force herself, and turned to the person kneeling on the ground sharply, "If you are willing to confess to the mastermind behind the scenes, This palace will take it lightly, otherwise, killing the emperor's heir will be enough to convict you of punishing the nine clans."
The six people shook their heads and raised their heads, and Concubine Xian exclaimed softly: "Yo, isn't this the palace maid forsythia who was serving by Concubine Rou?"
Concubine Rou's face was a little ugly, "This palace maid was sent to the Shangyi Bureau to do laundry because of her poor service. It has nothing to do with me."
Concubine Xian smiled lightly: "I didn't say she had anything to do with my sister, but I just felt a little familiar, and my sister was thinking too much."
Concubine Rou snorted coldly and stopped talking, she knew in her heart that Concubine Xian was the queen's person, and it was not good for her to make trouble now. But who was this forsythia instructed, if the queen acted according to these words, she would be in some trouble.
"Niangniang, the slaves have been wronged, the slaves don't know what's going on, the slaves didn't want to harm the master Zhao, I beg the empress to see it clearly." Forsythia didn't dare to look at the crowd, but just kept kowtowing, and after a while, the forehead was stained red with blood.
"Come here, hold her." The Queen looked blankly at Forsythia, who was constantly kowtowing, and said coldly, "If I faint, who will this palace ask for questions?"
Concubine Shu Gui sneered in her heart, the Empress did not wear her charitable face this time. Glancing coldly at the blood-covered Forsythia, when Concubine Rou chased this palace maid out, she probably suspected that she was a spy sent by other palaces, but whose handwriting was it
She looked up at the crowd, and couldn't see anything suspicious about anyone. She is definitely not missing from the list of the Queen's doubts now. It's a good idea to have so many people behind the scenes.
"Xiaojing'er, I remember you still have two younger brothers in your hometown?" Ming Lu, the eunuch chief beside the queen, flicked the whisk in his hand, and said neither lightly nor heavy: "If you explain it honestly, the queen's concubine will be kind-hearted. , I will definitely save your life, if you don't say it, don't implicate your parents."
When the eunuch called Jing'er said this, his face was pale and he kept complaining, "My lady, the servants really don't know that there are dirty things on the tableware used by Master Zhao, and the things presented to the masters are all distributed, servant How dare we do it without authorization."
The queen rubbed her forehead, waved her hand, and the eunuch named Xiao Jinger dragged her down.
Hearing Xiao Jing'er's shrill cry of grievance when she was dragged out, the remaining five people trembled, because they all knew that Xiao Jing'er would not be able to come back after being dragged out.
"You still don't want to say it, is it possible that you all jumped out of the cracks in the stone, and you are not afraid of affecting your parents and father?" Ming Lu raised his eyebrows and spoke sarcastically.
The queen was thinking about what to say when she heard footsteps coming from outside.
"The Emperor is here!"
The queen is surprised, the emperor is here
