After Xiao Fubao's life was stolen, he became the favorite of everyone in the capital

Chapter 350 The whole clan was buried with him
When Concubine Li heard this, she frowned and said, "Just go in, it's not a big deal. Can these people implicate me?"

After hearing what she said, the two confidants did not relax.

Because even if these eunuchs were involved in the case of Concubine Li, she would not be seriously hurt due to the emperor's many years of favor. But they, the servants, could easily lose their lives.

Concubine Li kept urging the head palace maid to check the medicine she was drinking. There was nothing wrong with the medicine at all. The head palace maid asked the imperial physician to check the medicine residue and the medicine pot for most of the day. The young palace maids also checked for a long time, but they didn't find any problems.

When she hurried to Concubine Li with the investigation results and reported, Concubine Li still refused to believe it.

"Is the Liu man also going to betray me? Go to the Imperial Hospital and get two more doctors!"

When the personal maid heard this, she said helplessly, "Madam, Doctor Liu's entire family is under the control of Master Uncle, how dare he betray you? Your groundless suspicion may chill his heart!"

Concubine Li was seriously ill and in a coma. She had done too many evil things and had often played tricks on other people's prescriptions in the past. She was more afraid than anyone else that she would be subjected to the same treatment.

"He's just an imperial physician, who cares if he feels cold or not!" Concubine Li insisted on her own way.

The personal maid looked helpless.

"You go find the imperial physician yourself. I don't trust anyone else. You need to find at least three people!" Concubine Li warned.

As for her master's empty shooting, the personal maid had no idea what to do and could only rush to the Imperial Hospital in a hurry.

But she had only walked a few steps outside when she ran into Li Shunfu and Qian Rongsheng who were walking towards this side with their men.

"Ms. Taozhi, please come with us." Li Shunfu said with a wry smile.

The head maid turned pale and said immediately, "Please forgive me, my two eunuchs. I have to go to the Imperial Hospital to do some work under the order of Concubine Li. I will go with you after I finish my work. Is that okay?"

As old people in the palace, Li Shunfu and Qian Rongsheng naturally knew that this was a case of using Concubine Li as a banner.

But neither of them cared about Concubine Li.

"Don't be in a hurry. If you have anything to do, wait until you get out of the Ministry of Punishment." Li Shunfu said sarcastically.

Qian Rongsheng also raised his hand and made a "please" gesture.

In fact, they both felt that they were quite lucky. Taozhi happened to be sent out by Concubine Li to do something. Otherwise, if the two of them went to the Concubine's palace to arrest someone and the Concubine wanted to stop them, things would never have gone as smoothly as they did now.

Taozhi wanted someone to pass a message to the imperial concubine, but there was no one around.

Imperial Concubine Li has been in the palace for many years, but there are only two places where she cannot get her hands involved: one is in front of the emperor, and the other is Shoukang Palace. Today, these two forces happened to want to capture Taozhi for questioning at the same time.

In Shoukang Palace, the Queen Mother said somewhat unhappily, "Emperor, since the eunuchs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have already confessed that it was Tao Zhi, who was in charge of Concubine Li, is there any need to ask who did it?"

People from the Ministry of Internal Affairs entered the Ministry of Punishment, and within half a day, the eunuch in charge of distributing spices implicated Taozhi, the senior palace maid serving Concubine Li.

When the emperor received the news, he felt that the whole process was too simple. He was afraid that someone was slandering the imperial concubine. "The imperial concubine has been in charge of the palace for so long, it is unreasonable for her to harm a mere beauty." The emperor couldn't understand why the imperial concubine did this.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs absolutely did not dare to purchase poisonous spices. This poisonous incense only appeared in the Yongfu Palace. Normal spices were found in other palaces.

The only strange thing was that according to the young eunuch who was in charge of distributing the spices, when he was delivering spices to Yongfu Palace that day, he bumped into an unfamiliar palace maid on the road, and it was suspected that the spices were switched at that time.

Logically speaking, there were many young palace maids in the palace, and it would be difficult to find such an unfamiliar young palace maid, but the eunuch in charge of the assignment remembered the appearance and accent of the young palace maid very clearly.

Listening to his description, it turned out that the person in charge of the interrogation happened to be someone who was an acquaintance of the little palace maid. Listening to this description, it felt very much like her former colleague when she served in the cold palace.

The young palace maid served in the cold palace every day and rarely saw outsiders. However, her colleague used his connections to transfer her to the Ministry of Punishment. The colleague, who was eager to make a contribution, dug her out of the cold palace.

The young palace maid was taken to the Ministry of Punishment, and after several tortures, she gave away the peach branch that was by the imperial concubine's side.

The emperor was puzzled, but the empress dowager felt that the imperial concubine, who had taken two detours, was actually being cautious enough.

"If we weren't lucky this time, we might not have been able to find the peach branch," said the Queen Mother.

When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but ask, "Mother, don't you think that everything seems to be going too smoothly?"

The Queen Mother said, "Anyone who can set up such a scheme must have been operating in the palace for many years. She must be familiar with the logic of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and have enough hidden players. There are actually not many people in the harem who can do such a thing."

"It can only be said that it is God's will that we have found out now. If we are unlucky, I am afraid that even if we turn the palace upside down, we still cannot find the unfamiliar little palace maid, and the person behind the scenes can continue to hide."

When the emperor heard the empress dowager attribute everything to luck, he couldn't help but ask, "Mother, do you think the reason why it went so smoothly was because of Niuniu? The person behind the scenes wanted to harm Concubine Luo and almost implicated Niuniu. Niuniu is also the lucky charm of the capital, so the investigation was so smooth?"

The Queen Mother nodded.

In comparison, there are still not many clues about the Queen Mother's poisoning.

"Although the imperial concubine is jealous, she is not a cruel and vicious person. My son always feels that there may be other secrets behind this. Maybe Taozhi was framed, or maybe she acted on her own and the imperial concubine is not aware of it." said the emperor.

Although the emperor did not make the imperial concubine the empress, he had actually given her the power of a queen and valued her very much in his heart. The emperor also did not want to admit that the woman he had doted on for many years was such a vicious person.

The Queen Mother did not speak. Before everything was settled, she did not want to ruin the relationship between mother and son by rashly provoking others.

Qian Rongsheng hurried in to report: "Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, Miss Taozhi insisted that no one was behind this. She just said that she couldn't stand the fact that Concubine Luo had taken away the favor of the Imperial Concubine, so she wanted to teach Concubine Luo a lesson on behalf of the Imperial Concubine."

The Queen Mother said casually: "You see, Emperor, she knows that she is the only one who will be punished for murdering the concubine, so she is willing to take the blame for her master."

The palace rules are strict, and Concubine Luo is not seriously offended. If Taozhi pleads guilty and Concubine Li pleads for her, she will not be sentenced to death.

But the Queen Mother could not let this go so easily, and said to Qian Rongsheng: "Go and tell her that because she plotted to murder the heir to the throne, I want her entire family to be buried with her."
