About an hour later, the emperor finally confirmed that the two corpses were not Wei Ning'er. At this time, he also remembered that E Ning and Hu Shijie were nowhere to be seen after returning to the palace. Everyone in the Hall of Mental Cultivation has never seen E Ning and Hu Shijie again.

At this time, more than half a month had passed since the palace of Yanxi Palace was burned down, and there were almost no clues to be found, but what was unexpected was that the emperor was sure that the two corpses were not the concubine Ling, so he sent people to search the palace.

"Emperor, how can you be sure that the person who died was not Concubine Ling?" The queen mother felt that the emperor was just comforting herself.

"Emperor Niang, before I left, I looked at Ning'er. She was six months pregnant at that time, and now she is more than seven months old. Neither of the two corpses was pregnant. From this, I concluded that there was someone else. I wanted to harm Ning'er and set fire on purpose, these two corpses are fake names, I just want to know where is Ning'er? To the limbs and bones.

As the Ninth Five-Year Lord, he couldn't protect his beloved and their children, causing them to suffer such a crime.

"This...she has a child!" The Empress Dowager was also startled, and then said: "If it is true as the emperor said, the corpse is not the concubine Ling, then will she leave the palace?"

"Going out of the palace?" The emperor was shocked when he heard the words: "Even if she went out of the palace, it was to save her life. Who... who forced her to do this? I sent E Ning, Hu Shijie and others to protect her, and now they are all gone. Something must have happened!" The emperor's eyes were bloodshot when he said this.

"Emperor, calm down first!" An ominous premonition arose in the queen mother's heart. She had never seen such a violent emperor, and her intuition told her that there would be bloody storms in the palace.

"I can't calm down, Queen Mother, don't ask me about this matter!" After saying that, the emperor walked quickly to the outside of Yanxi Palace.

"Emperor!" The Empress Dowager looked at the back of the emperor in disbelief, only to feel that her eyes were darkened, and she almost fainted.

"Your Majesty!" Lu Mo supported her.

"The emperor has never talked to Ai's family like this, never before!" The queen mother couldn't help feeling unprecedented sadness in her heart.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor is too worried. Besides, the Empress Dowager Ling was banned by the Emperor, but she had an accident. Naturally, the Emperor can't let it go. Moreover, she is pregnant, and the child will be born in two months. Yes, if there is something good or bad for the imperial concubine, the emperor will not only lose her, but also a child who has never been masked, and the pain in his heart can be imagined!" Lu Mo said softly.

The empress dowager felt a pain in her heart when she heard the words: "If I knew this, the Ai family shouldn't have insisted on asking the emperor to punish the concubine Ling!"

"Your Majesty, don't blame yourself. The plan for now is to find out the people who intend to murder the Concubine Ling and the emperor's heir, and find out the whereabouts of the Concubine Ling. Those people even took advantage of the fact that the masters were not in the palace. Yanxi Palace is simply heinous!" Lu Mo said at the right time.

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager's expression became more and more gloomy, and she said to Lu Mo, "Show me the Yikun Palace!"

"Yes, empress!" An imperceptible smile flashed in Lumo's eyes.

In Yikun Palace, the imperial concubine was anxiously walking back and forth in the bedroom, when Zi Yan walked in from the outside, and said respectfully: "Young lady, the empress dowager is here!"

When the imperial concubine heard the words, a smile appeared on her face, and she went out together with Zi Yan.

"May the empress dowager be blessed with golden safety!" The imperial concubine said with a smile after wishing all blessings.

The Empress Dowager had a gloomy face, and said to the people around her, "Back down!"

"Yes!" The servants retreated immediately.

"Empress Dowager, what's the matter with Lingfei?" The imperial concubine asked in a low voice.

The Empress Dowager sat on the chair and looked at the imperial concubine coldly, without answering, she said in a deep voice after a while: "Aijia asked you, answer honestly, did you send someone to kill Concubine Ling?"

The imperial concubine knelt down violently when she heard the words, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, this concubine has been wronged, and this concubine has never thought of killing anyone, let alone these days, this concubine has been serving you and the emperor. I just returned to the capital today, even if my concubine wants to kill her, it's impossible!"

The queen mother's face turned slightly better when she heard the words: "It's good if you don't. If you do something bad, even if you are the niece of the Ai family, the Ai family will never let you go lightly. Min Ruo, you will be remembered by the Ai family. You can fight for favor, you can use any means, but... the Ai family will never allow anyone to murder the emperor's heir, if the Ai family finds out, even you will be punished with death!"

The imperial concubine knows that she can harm the concubines in the palace, but she cannot harm the emperor's heirs. This is the queen mother's bottom line. She is indeed the queen mother's direct niece, but... the prince and princess are also the queen mother's direct blood, which is more important than she doesn't know how many times.

However, she didn't understand why the queen mother suddenly talked about the emperor's heir, and she couldn't help but probed: "Mother, is Lingfei pregnant?"

"Yes!" The Empress Dowager was so upset at this moment, she didn't want to say more, and left with Lu Mo and others.

The imperial concubine was horrified, no wonder the emperor said that the imperial concubine was not dead, so he ordered a search of the palace, and sent people to search everywhere. It turned out that... she was pregnant, so the two corpses could not fool the emperor. Thinking of this, the imperial concubine sighed The voice whispered a few words in Ziyan's ear.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, this servant will do it now!" Zi Yan replied before leaving.

For several days in a row, there was no peace in the palace. All the servants in each palace were sent to the Punishment Division for strict interrogation. Almost none of those who went in came out alive, which made all the servants in the palace feel in danger.

On March [-]th, the emperor issued a secret decree to take away the commanders of the guards in the palace. Together with them, several guards guarding the gate of the palace were taken away. Since then, no one has seen them again.

On March [-]th, more than half of the guards in the palace were replaced. The emperor reprimanded Prince He in the court hall, accusing him of neglecting his duties when he stayed in Beijing during the emperor's western tour. All the ministers pleaded for mercy and were reprimanded by the emperor.

Facing the emperor's wrath, Prince He's concubine Emiangui knelt with him outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation. The mother and son knelt for a whole day and night.

On March [-]th, the emperor decreed to rebuild the Yanxi Palace's sleeping hall, and ordered the concubine who was seriously injured in the fire to recuperate, so that the concubine would not have to spend time in the morning and evening and temporarily live in Chengqian Palace to recuperate.

When all the concubines in the palace heard this, they were all surprised from ear to ear, and hurried to Chengqian Palace.

"My lords, the emperor has a decree. Before the Yanxi Palace is repaired, let the concubines stay in Chengqian Palace to rest, and all the lords don't have to look at it." At the gate of Chengqian Palace, Xiao Yizi led a group of servants After hearing the news, everyone in the harem stopped at the door.
