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

Chapter 361 Another one caught

Nanny Sun asked the Queen Mother: "Your Majesty, although Yunluo did not commit a serious crime, everything is ultimately related to her. How should we deal with her?"

Yunluo's heart suddenly began to worry again.

The Queen Mother was just about to ask that the people be sent to the torture chamber when she saw Niu Niu seemed to want to say something.

"Grandma Queen Mother, this sister didn't do it on purpose. Please forgive her this time." Niu Niu couldn't help but ask. The little girl didn't know what collective punishment meant.

The Queen Mother sighed and said, "You are just too kind-hearted, child."

Niu Niu looked at the empress dowager with her big watery eyes, and the empress dowager felt like she was facing a cute little kitten.

"Forget it. Your sister committed a serious crime, and you should have been sent to the torture chamber. Since Guaibao pleaded for you, I will spare you this time. But you can't stay in Shoukang Palace. Your sister likes to take your identity, so now it's your turn to take her place and work in Plum Garden." The Queen Mother announced the punishment for Yunluo.

Yunluo immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

After investigating for a long time, they still couldn't find the mastermind behind the scenes. Nanny Sun was naturally indignant: "The mastermind who caused trouble got away again."

The Queen Mother also sighed.

Niuniu was standing nearby. Although she had only heard it once before, she couldn't help but sigh, "It's not easy for the palace maids in the palace. They are bullied at every turn."

In fact, saying this was a bit taboo for the superior, so Nanny Sun immediately gave Niu Niu a crazy look.

Niuniu didn't understand the old lady's look, and asked instead, "Mammy, are your eyes uncomfortable? Why do they seem to be twitching?"

Madam Sun: ...

But the Queen Mother said at this time: "Good child, you are right."

Nanny Sun:?

The Queen Mother continued, "Niuniu did remind me. Although we haven't caught anyone in the act, more and more people behind the scenes have been exposed."

Nanny Sun looked puzzled.

The Queen Mother said, "According to Yunxuan, she was tortured by the maids in the Plum Garden, which is why she wanted to go somewhere else. Did these maids suddenly want to bully her?"

When Nanny Sun heard this, she suddenly understood.

Nanny Sun also worked in the palace, so she naturally knew the character of the old maids in the palace. They always bullied the weak and feared the strong, and their favorite targets were the little palace maids who had no background at all.

Yunxuan's elder sister Yunluo worked in Shoukang Palace. Even though she was just a little palace maid, she was enough to intimidate that group of people. At most, they would assign Yunxuan some difficult tasks, but they would never dare to beat or scold her in public.

The person behind the scenes set up this trap after noticing the similarities between the sisters Yunxuan and Yunluo. This time it was done in a hurry, as if it was a spur-of-the-moment idea.

If everything had been prepared, Yunxuan would not have been able to stand trial alive. Now there are more traces left.

In less than half a day, Nanny Sun walked in happily.

"Your Highness, Niuniu is really a lucky little girl. I followed the group of maids and found out that it was Aunt Zhang from the Plum Garden who first attacked Yunxuan. Others also reminded Aunt Zhang that Yunxuan had a background."

"But Aunt Zhang said that after beating for so long, there were no consequences. It can be seen that Yunluo is nothing in Shoukang Palace. After such a commotion, the other old maids also looked down on Yunxuan."

"I had Madam Zhang interrogated, and she said that it was because Yunxuan offended Xingzhi from Guanju Palace, so Xingzhi signaled Madam Zhang to teach Yunxuan a lesson." When the empress dowager heard the name "Xingzhi", she immediately felt that it was as she expected.

In Guanju Palace, after enduring a long period of pain and suffering, Concubine Li finally felt that she was almost well again because of the joyous occasion.

Xingzhi came in holding a bunch of flowers and said, "Look, your majesty, these are the lilies that the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent over today. They look more vibrant than those in other palaces."

When Concubine Li heard this, she frowned slightly and asked, "Did the Ministry of Internal Affairs change people?"

Xingzhi smiled awkwardly and said, "Your Highness, the new Concubine Xian has just taken office. The original head of the Internal Affairs Department was one of ours, but she found an excuse to replace him. Don't worry, everyone in the palace knows that His Majesty loves you the most, and even if someone else is replaced, they won't dare to neglect our palace."

Concubine Li raised her lips and said, "I dare not neglect them. I think they are neglecting them very much."

As she spoke, she rubbed and tore the white lily petals into pieces.

The white lilies that originally looked beautiful and pure instantly turned into a pile of withered flowers.

"Send it to His Majesty and tell him that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has neglected me." Concubine Li ordered casually.

Xingzhi naturally understood her master's intention and said with a smile: "The virtuous concubine is not good at managing the harem. It is you, the virtuous concubine, who are the real master of these six palaces."

Xingzhi had just left Guanju Palace with the flowers when she ran into Li Shunfu. She immediately wanted to say something fishy.

Li Shunfu looked at her with a sinister look on his face and said, "Miss Xingzhi, please go with me."

Xingzhi suddenly remembered that Taozhi seemed to have been taken away in this way. Then she confessed that she had sent something to Doctor Li. Thanks to the Empress's precautions, Taozhi didn't know what the thing was, so she didn't prove the Empress' guilt.

Xingzhi couldn't help but think, if Taozhi couldn't stand the interrogation, could she stand it? Could her family members stand it?
Xingzhi's eyes narrowed, and she thought that instead of having to wait until that time comes, it would be better to end it all now. She was about to bite her tongue to commit suicide.

Li Shunfu simply pried open her mouth and stuffed a handkerchief in.

"I advise Miss Xingzhi not to do anything rash. The imperial concubine has killed so many people, and the murderer has not been found yet. If you dare to commit suicide now, you will be held responsible for it. Even if all your nine clans are connected, it may not be enough to pay for the life of the other person." Li Shunfu said sinisterly.

Xingzhi's whole body was stiff.

She was forcibly dragged away, and the lily that was originally used as evidence in the complaint was thrown on the side of the road. After being stepped on a few times, it was no longer recognizable as a lily.

There were many people in the palace, and many of them saw this scene. Concubine Li had been in charge of the palace for many years, so naturally someone would run to Guanju Palace to inform the public.

"Your Highness, Sister Xingzhi was taken away by people from Shoukang Palace halfway through her journey!"

When Concubine Li heard the servant's words, she felt dizzy.

"Why are you touching my people for no reason?" Concubine Li asked.

But no one could answer her. The palace maids in Guanju Palace were now in danger, fearing that they would be the next one.

When Concubine Li stood up, the frightened palace maids forgot to support her and almost made her fall.

Her two most capable personal maids were captured, so it was inevitable that others might not be so caring.

"Help me up, I want to see His Majesty." Concubine Li urged the palace maid beside her.
