Under the Empress Dowager, all members will be King

Chapter 71
The queen woke up in the middle of the night, dreaming of a ghost crying to her, telling her that she died of injustice.

Xia Chan hurriedly put on her clothes and got out of bed, ran in and asked, "Empress, how are you?"

The queen was still in shock, and took Xia Chan's hand, "The palace is not clean, please call more people and light the candles."

The queen wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, and the maids put several stoves on her bed. Xia Chan personally poured her a cup of hot tea, and the queen calmed down a lot after drinking the tea.

"Don't go, guard the palace."

"Don't worry, the queen, the servants are not going anywhere."

The Queen's bedroom was brightly lit and crowded with people, the candles that had been lit earlier were removed and replaced with large solid candles, which burned for a long time, making the room as bright as day.

The queen closed her eyes for a nap, and finally fell asleep after a while.

The maids and women leaned against the door frame and dozed off, eyes full of exhaustion. A nightmare of the master became a nightmare for all the slaves.

At dawn the next day, the queen woke up and ordered a thorough investigation.

The accompanying concubines came to greet the queen one after another. Concubine Yi knew that the queen was not sleeping soundly, so she specially brought a Buddha statue.

The queen accepted the gift and invited Concubine Yi to sit down and drink tea.

The four Shuyis, Zhao Qian, Sun Li, were not eligible to sit, nor were they eligible to drink the tea made by the empress herself, so they came to say a few auspicious words, seeing that the empress did not leave them with any image of drinking tea, they left wisely.

Under the towering ancient trees in the palace, the queen and concubine Yifei sat and drank tea opposite each other. The tea smell floated out along the spout, and the tea fragrance lingered around the tip of their noses.

"There are many mountains in the palace, and the camellia cloud and mist really live up to its reputation." Concubine Yi took a sip of tea, with a smile on the corners of her eyes and brows.

The empress was born noble and is good at tea ceremony, as long as she has a peaceful mind and doesn't insult the concubine at will, Concubine Yi is more than happy to drink tea with her.

There are twelve hours in a day, it is always boring to stay alone, someone will accompany you to talk about the meeting, time flies quickly.

"There are many clouds and mists in the mountains, and the clouds and mists create fog and ghosts."

The Queen's eyebrows twitched, showing a hostile look all over her body.

"Empress, the courtiers and concubines have been respectful and respectful along the way, the empress has learned a lot."

"I'm joking with you, it seems that the fog ghost is not you."

Concubine Yi was kneeling upright, the queen didn't see any other emotions from her face, "Xia Chan, help Concubine Yi get up."

Concubine Yi is respectful and gentle. "

When leaving the queen's bedroom, the corners of Yifei's lips turned upwards, her plan had succeeded.

Yesterday she secretly added fiber phosphorous powder to the candles that the Queen lit at night, the smell of this thing when burning can induce fear in people's hearts.

The wind was strong last night, so the doors and windows of the Queen's bedroom must be tightly closed. Before the Queen went to bed, Concubine Yi deliberately asked the little maid to report to Xia Chan.

Said that a maid died next to Concubine Jin, and vividly described the tragic situation of the maid before she died. The queen didn't pay attention to it at the time after hearing it, but when the fiber powder started to burn, the queen had hallucinations, and she couldn't help but think of the death of the maid.

The queen was overly frightened and ordered a vigil. The ladies of the court opened and closed the door and went in and out. The smell of the fiber powder gradually dissipated, and the queen was able to sleep well.

As soon as the empress woke up, she naturally wanted to find out the villains around her. The maid who passed the news yesterday was from Concubine Yi, and Concubine Yi naturally became the empress's first person to be tortured.

The queen took every step of the way to induce Concubine Yi, and Concubine Yi's answer was quite satisfactory, without the slightest fault, nor did she show any guilt.

The queen knew that she couldn't ask anything from Concubine Yi, so she sent her back early.

The same pot of tea, the same old tree, the queen poured a cup of tea herself, but the tea drinker changed from Concubine Yi to Concubine Rou.

"You taste carefully."

"It's out, camellia cloud."

The fragrance of tea diffused from her mouth, and Concubine Rou felt relaxed, as if she had just woken up after a good night's sleep.

"There are many clouds and mists in the mountains, and the clouds and mists create fog and ghosts."

Concubine Rou's contented eyes quickly retracted, tightly holding the teacup in her hand, she was extremely nervous, as if a steel knife was about to fall on her neck in the next moment.

"Empress, concubine...concubine."

Concubine Rou was terrified, could it be that the matter had been exposed, the queen had noticed a flaw, and the crime of drugging the emperor was not light, so she couldn't let herself bear it all.

The queen didn't have much evidence, and she didn't know Concubine Rou's plan. Years of experience in the upper class allowed her to see the clue from Concubine Rou's flustered expression.

"Concubine Rou, you are so brave to lie to others."

The empress was upright, and her words were sonorous and forceful, while the concubine Rou was a guilty conscience, she lowered her head in shame, her voice was as soft as a mosquito.

"The concubine is pure and innocent, everything is Concubine Jin's idea."

The queen sat up straight, took off the armor slowly, stretched out two index fingers and pointed at the coffee table, "I said it myself, I should find other witnesses to speak."

Concubine Rou whispered in her heart that something was wrong, the queen even had witnesses, so she had to protect herself at this moment.

"Chenqie... Chenqie... confused for a while."

The Queen listened carefully, and Concubine Rou suddenly noticed that the Queen's expression was not right. If the Queen had [-]% evidence, she could be directly convicted. After all, the Queen has a high position and power, and there is no reason to punish the wronged concubine.

But the Queen waited for her to reveal it herself. Xia Chan was in charge of recording with a notebook and a pen in her hand.

Concubine Rou recalled what the Empress said just now, she accused herself of deceiving her superiors and deceiving her. The four words deceitful and deceitful cover a wide range, if the Empress knew the truth, if there were witnesses, she could totally accuse her of murdering and prescribing drugs.

Concubine Yi knelt down on the ground, quickly thinking about countermeasures.

There was a commotion outside the door, and Concubine Jin, dressed in pink palace attire, came quickly. She kicked over the maid who was blocking the way, and ran over to look at the queen.

The Empress sat lazily, Concubine Jin stood upright, Xia Chan was the only one beside the Empress, but Concubine Jin was accompanied by a large group of robust maidservants.

"Sister Jinfei, why are you free to drink the tea made by Ben Gong?"

The queen took a sip of tea, showing no signs of timidity on her face, Xia Chan's legs were trembling, Concubine Jin was coming in menacingly, with a large number of people, the situation at this time was very unfavorable to the empress.

"The concubine misses the empress, and feels uncomfortable if she doesn't see her for a day, so she came here uninvited."

"Xia Chan, take a seat."

Xia Chan put down her notebook, brought a low stool, brought a clean teacup, filled it with tea, and held it to Concubine Jin.

Concubine Rou winked at Concubine Jin like killing a chicken to wipe her neck, but Concubine Jin ignored it.

If she hadn't met Concubine Yi on the way just now, and Concubine Yi had told her that the Empress and Concubine Rou had a very happy conversation, she would never have known that Concubine Rou had turned against her.

The sleazy little hoof, who agreed to conspire in a big matter, but secretly filed a complaint, now still has the face to wink at her, to see how she can ridicule her.

"Concubine Rou, did you have a stroke in your eye?"

"Concubine Jin... I have something to tell you, so let me take a step to talk."

The empress acted frankly, and even took the initiative to talk to Concubine Rou: "Concubine Jin, Concubine Rou has something to say to you, you go to the quiet room of the side hall and talk."

Concubine Rou slowly got up, raised her legs and walked towards the side hall.

Concubine Jin is as steady as a rock, sitting and refusing to move.

The queen must have reached an agreement with Concubine Rou, otherwise how could the queen speak for her, who knows what traps are waiting for her in the side hall.

"What can't be said in front of the empress, and must be said quietly and hidden."

Concubine Rou stomped her feet angrily, "Wang Qingzhou, why are you so stupid."

"Well, you Jin Susu, how dare you scold me."

"What's wrong with Ben Gong scolding you, do you know that you are as stupid as a pig?"

"You are stupid, your whole family is the stupidest."
