The past life is cold and the present life is warm

Eunuch Fu's heart skipped a beat when he heard Shao Zhikan's question. He should have thought that there would be no way around this problem when the queen came. He is not only the leader of the royal family, but also an intimate person around the emperor. At this moment, he seemed to understand Eunuch Xiang's choice. But he thought about his choice and became confused for a moment.

Looking at Eunuch Fu's tightly knitted brows and his expression that he was about to be squeezed together because of the tangle. Shao Zhikan sighed in his heart, feeling a little soft-hearted for a moment.

After so many years, it is not easy for Eunuch Fu to choose to stand on his side. So he said, "Father-in-law, you don't need to answer me. I'm asking, just shake your head or nod."

When Eunuch Fu heard this, his eyes lit up and he smiled and nodded. This doesn't count as him telling the truth. After all, the prince is so smart.

Shao Zhikan took a deep breath and asked directly: "Is the prince brother killed by someone rather than contracting the epidemic?"

This is an affirmative tone, not a question. This made Eunuch Fu feel nervous.

Unexpectedly, Shao Zhikan asked the core question directly. Not even a little roundabout.

Think about how Shao Zhikan and the Queen sat alone for so long just now. I'm afraid I know something. So he nodded helplessly.

“The murderer was someone from Jamchang Xiao’s faction, right?”

Shao Zhikan's second question made Eunuch Fu's pupils shrink.

Unexpectedly, Shao Zhikan even knew this. But thinking about it, the vested interests later seemed to understand what was going on. So he nodded again.

Shao Zhikan exhaled slowly and said: "So the imperial doctor and the people from the Ministry of Punishment sent by my uncle in front of me were all there to destroy the corpses and eliminate traces, right?"

This question made Eunuch Fu a little panicked. Because it made him feel as if Shao Zhikan already knew the truth about everything. If this is the case, will Shao Zhihan still protect the emperor's safety?

Shao Zhikan looked at Eunuch Fu who hesitated. He smiled slightly and said, "Okay, father-in-law, you don't have to answer this question. I already know the answer."

At this moment, Shao Zhihan suddenly felt that all the details were no longer important. After all, the truth of the matter is already laid bare here. For a moment, both Shao Zhikan and Eunuch Fu fell silent.

But soon there was the sound of something falling from the inner hall. And the emperor's voice rose with anger.

"Xiao Yuanzi, go and call that bastard Xiao Jamchang into the palace. What's wrong? I'm just lying in bed. I'm not dying. He can't sit still now and is ready to rebel?"

Then the Queen's voice came and said: "Your Majesty, please don't be angry. We haven't asked for confirmation yet. It won't be too late for Khan'er to ask for confirmation. I will go back and take control of the harem first to prevent them from spreading the news."

The emperor nodded. After a while, the queen opened the door and walked out. Before leaving, he looked at Shao Zhikan again. He nodded towards Shao Zhikan. He walked away without saying anything more.

Eunuch Fu, on the other hand, trotted into the inner hall in a panic. At this time, the emperor was still leaning on the bed with an angry look on his face. When he saw Eunuch Fu coming in, he pointed to the door and said, "Let Hong'er come in."

Shao Zhikan calmly pushed the wheelchair into the emperor's inner palace. The emperor looked at Shao Zhikan with some gloomy eyes and said: "The Queen just told me that there is something strange in the capital. Didn't you Red Shadow Guards receive the news?" Shao Zhikan replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, I have received the news. . I have also sent people to investigate. It’s just that I don’t know where these people came from. But it has been confirmed that all the official documents in their hands are fake. But the seals are all genuine. In other words, they must be There are people inside assisting them.”

"Then why didn't you tell me right away?"

Eunuch Fu on the side said quickly: "Your Majesty, you have wronged the Crown Prince. It was the old slave who saw that you had a hard time sleeping peacefully. That's why I stopped the Crown Prince."

The emperor coughed a few times and glared at Eunuch Fu angrily: "Why don't you hurry up and call that beast over to me?"

Eunuch Fu hurriedly bowed and retired and sent someone to call for someone.

As soon as the queen returned to the palace, she immediately returned to Kunyi Palace in a high-profile manner. And called all the concubines to Kunyi Hall. The concubines, who had been so carefree for these years, immediately became nervous. Don't know what happened suddenly.

And Concubine He was even more puzzled as to what caused the Queen's incident. But when I thought of Jamel Xiao's words, I immediately felt at ease.

The queen in Kunyi Palace just asked everyone to sit down. I didn't try to control them, nor did I say anything. Just keep serving tea and snacks. Let everyone sit together and chat.

At the beginning of the period, no one noticed anything was wrong. It was not until one of the concubines was feeling unwell and the queen did not release her that everyone came to their senses. They were put under house arrest in disguise by the Queen.

Concubine He was the first to be unable to sit still. She stood up and frowned and asked, "What do you mean, Queen? Why do you want to put us under house arrest here?"

The queen put down the snack in her hand leisurely, picked up the tea cup on the small table and took a sip. After putting down the tea cup and wiping her mouth slowly, the Queen smiled and looked up at Concubine He and said: "Concubine He, you have worked hard to take care of this huge harem for me in the past few years. But this seems to have made you forget. Now, I am the master of this harem. What? Are you anxious to take my place now?"

What the Queen said was quite serious. All the concubines were so frightened that they quickly left their chairs and knelt on the ground. Only Concubine He stood motionless with a white face and a handkerchief.

Just now, everyone was a little panicked when they arrived at Kunyi Hall. But seeing the queen in plain clothes and her pleasant appearance made the concubines lower their guard. I feel that this queen has no airs and looks soft and weak.

But at this moment, the queen, even in plain clothes, could not stop the majestic aura of a powerful person.

The queen smiled, looked at Concubine He who was standing there and said, "What? After these few years of delegating power to me, has Concubine He forgotten how to salute? I need to find the nun from the palace to teach her." Are you going to teach Concubine He?"

The concubines who usually fawned over Concubine He could not help but secretly look up at Concubine He. Concubine He gritted her teeth with a pale face and knelt down reluctantly. At her age, she was still allowed to kneel in front of so many people. The hatred in Concubine He's heart was overwhelming.

The queen sneered in her heart. Without showing it off, he still said with a smile: "I have always been an easy-going person. The old people in the palace should all know this. It's just that I think sincerity is exchanged for sincerity. We have gone through difficulties together and we are truly a family. .I am too naive. It turns out that I have been worried about you for a long time."
