"Your Majesty, Zijuan, a maid in the concubine's palace, hanged herself. Before she died, she was holding the blood jade wrench of the third elder brother in her hand. Please take a look at it!" The emperor just sat down, and the queen presented the jade wrench, a little angry of confession. 【 】

"The third elder brother killed your maid?" The emperor asked in a deep voice after a while holding the jade wrench.

"She committed suicide. The servants in the concubine's palace saw the third elder brother belittled Zijuan yesterday, and the concubine thought that she must have hanged herself out of shame and indignation!" When the queen said this, she couldn't help but glance at Wei Ning'er, and then Said: "Your Majesty, although Zijuan is only a court lady, she is still a living person, but she was forced to death, and I ask the Emperor to make the decision!"

"As a queen, it is your duty to manage the harem, so make up your own mind!" The emperor was annoyed by the repeated harassment by the people from the Raksha Kingdom on the border in recent days, and just now announced Fu Heng and other military plans The ministers discussed it, but the queen sent someone to Le'anhe to report that something important happened, so he rushed over. When he learned that this was the case, he couldn't help but feel a little angry.

Seeing the anger flashing on the emperor's face, the empress felt terrified, and then she winked at Mu Yun. Mu Yun stepped forward and knelt in front of the emperor and said loudly, "Your Majesty, just now the old mother gave Zijuan an examination. body, Zijuan is no longer a perfect body."

When the emperor heard this, the trace of anger on his face immediately turned into fury. It doesn't matter if a palace lady dies, but this palace lady is already incomplete. Isn't it telling everyone that someone is messing with the harem.

It should be noted that there are three thousand beauties in the harem, whether they are concubines or maids, they are all the emperor's women. No one can touch them except the emperor. Juan is not someone who serves by San Age's side.

The emperor looked at the blood jade wrench finger in his hand, with blue veins popping out on his forehead, and shouted to Wu Shulai beside him: "Go Xuansan elder brother and come here!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wu Shulai also knew that there was a big trouble at this time, so he immediately sent his servants to go.

Wei Ning'er's face gradually showed a dignified look. When the third elder brother begged her early this morning, he was very sincere. When he talked about Zijuan, his eyes were full of uncontrollable love. Since the third elder brother intends to marry Zijuan Fang Fujin should not ruin her innocence, after all, this is a taboo in the palace.

At this time, the third elder brother had already learned the news of Zijuan's death from Xiao Yizi, and before he could recover, he was invited to Yimengxuan by someone sent by the emperor.

"I send my greetings to Huang Ama, and to the Queen Mother, good luck to all the empresses!" The third elder brother greeted everyone with a stiff body.

Wei Ning'er looked at his devastated appearance, and her heart was full of worries, but she couldn't remind him under the eyes of everyone.

The emperor threw the blood jade finger in front of the third elder brother, and said in a deep voice: "I am worried about state affairs these days, and you are the oldest among all the elder brothers. You don't know how to share my worries, and instead make such an ugly time."

The emperor's wrath made the third elder brother wake up. He raised his head and said with sadness in his eyes: "Huang Ama, Zijuan is really dead?"

Hearing the words, the emperor was almost so angry that he turned his back, took a few deep breaths and said: "Niezi, you fell in love with a court lady, and she told the queen that she wanted to go there, but she caused people's lives and messed up the harem. Today...." The emperor seemed to be out of breath, and he only felt dizzy when he said this.

"Your Majesty..." Everyone was shocked.

The third elder brother was stunned by the emperor's words. Not only did his Zijuan lose his life, but he was also ruined.

"Zicuckoo...Zicuckoo..." The third elder brother read the name of Zijuan in a daze, and the scenes of them together kept popping up in his mind. That soft, lovely, kind and beautiful woman just disappeared. It was so miserable that he was still dead, for a while, the third elder brother only felt heartbroken, and his whole body began to twitch.

"Yongzhang!" Wei Ning'er, who had been worried about the third elder brother, noticed his abnormality.

"What are you doing in a daze, don't hurry up and pass on the imperial physician!" Wei Ning'er ordered to the servants around her, looking at Yongzhang, who was pale and twitching all over.

The emperor didn't seem to have expected this to happen either. Seeing his son in such pain, he was shocked. He collected himself and took a step forward, only to see the third elder brother cough violently a few times, with blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth.

"Yongzhang, don't worry!" Wei Ning'er wanted to squat down to persuade him, but she was too heavy and could only stand.

"Help the third elder brother up!" the emperor shouted to the servants around him.

"Yes!" Wu Shulai immediately helped the third elder brother, asked the guards to carry him on his back, and went outside Yimengxuan.

The queen just wanted the emperor to punish the third elder brother, but she never thought that such a thing would happen. She couldn't help but feel a little guilty. Looking at the emperor who was about to leave, she was about to say something, but the emperor

Turning back to stare at the queen, his eyes were full of coldness: "Earlier, many maids died in the palace. Why haven't I seen the queen make decisions for them? Today, because of a maid in your palace, there is a lot of turmoil. You are satisfied ?”

"Your majesty, my concubine is just..."

"That's enough, I don't want to hear your sophistry!" The emperor shouted violently, then gave her a hard look, and walked away.

The empress stared at the emperor's back and was stunned. It took a while to come back to her senses, and said to Mu Yun beside her, "There can be no accidents in this matter!"

"Yes, this servant knows!" Mu Yun's eyes were full of seriousness, and she immediately went down to make arrangements.

In the evening, when the emperor arrived at Zuixin Garden, Wei Ning'er was finishing dinner with Yongxuan and the others. Seeing the emperor came, she asked the maids to wait on her and went to the inner hall with the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Yongzhang has already woken up. The imperial doctor said that he hurts his mind and needs to rest. I'm afraid that the root cause of the disease will remain in the future!" Wei Ning'er looked at the emperor and said sadly.

"I know, I just went to see him!" The emperor's eyes were full of disappointment and heartache.

"Your Majesty, my concubine said something disrespectful. These years Yongzhang has also suffered a lot. As a prince, he is not qualified to inherit the throne. Last month, his mother passed away again. The repeated blows made him even more depressed. However, that Zijuan comforted Yongzhang when he was in grief. It is natural for Yongzhang to like her. What's more, the emperor knows Yongzhang's character very well. With the chaos in the harem, he begged his concubine to intercede with the emperor early this morning, and gave him Zijuan as a side Fujin. How could he do such things to hurt Zijuan so much? Her?" Wei Ning'er knew in her heart that the empress must have played tricks behind her back.

Wei Ning'er saw that the emperor was frowning, and said again: "The emperor has been worried about state affairs recently, and my concubine shouldn't say these things to disturb the emperor's mind, but... the concubine promised to take care of Yongzhang and the others for him. Sister Chun's bones are not cold yet, and Yongzhang Being so ill again, I can't bear it." Wei Ning'er couldn't help feeling sad when she said this.

"I don't believe that Yongzhang would do such a thing. This child has a very good character, otherwise I would not adopt Yongrong to the emperor's uncle as a descendant, and leave Yongzhang in the palace. I really shouldn't have treated him that way. He, Yonghuang, and Yuexi passed away, they were just children, I was too harsh!" The emperor regretted it very much, at the funeral of Empress Xiaoxian, he reprimanded the elder brother and the third elder brother because they were not sad enough. They have deprived them of their qualifications to inherit the throne.

Since then, the emperor has noticed that the two children have gradually changed. The eldest elder brother died of depression, which made the emperor very sad.

"Your Majesty!" Wei Ning'er felt even worse seeing the Emperor being so sad.

"We'll talk about everything when Yongzhang recovers!" Watching the children and the concubines who served him pass away one by one, how could the emperor not feel sad.

"En!" Seeing that the emperor had forgiven Yongzhang, Wei Ning'er stopped talking.

In the early morning of the second day, the Empress Dowager came from Changchun Garden. She first visited the third elder brother, and then announced all the concubines in the harem to the Empress' Yimengxuan.

"For a court lady, such a big incident happened. If any accident happens to the grandson of the Ai family, the Ai family will never forgive you!" The queen mother looked at the queen, her eyes were full of anger, and there was a hint of anger in her eyes. disappointment.

"Emperor Niang..." The Empress did not expect that the Empress Dowager would reprimand her, her eyes were full of disbelief.

"Empress Dowager, the third elder brother himself made a mistake, and it has nothing to do with Empress Dowager, please be careful, Empress Dowager!" Concubine Ying stepped forward and said respectfully.

"I want to report to the Empress Dowager, the maid who was next to the Empress the day before yesterday met the third elder brother and Zijuan, and Zijuan committed suicide early yesterday morning. Marrying Zijuan as a side Fujin, since that's the case, why did Zijuan hang herself?" Wei Ning'er said slightly.

"Zijuan's innocence was ruined by the third elder brother, it is inevitable to be ashamed and angry!" The queen glanced at Wei Ning'er, then looked at the queen mother and said respectfully.

"Your Majesty's words are wrong. The third elder brother has never done such a thing. This concubine suspects that someone did it on purpose!" Wei Ning'er said coldly.

"There is no proof and no evidence, so the noble concubine should be cautious!" The queen shouted.

Wei Ning'er saw that the queen was a little out of control, and the coldness on her face deepened. Everyone in the room knew that the queen mother belonged to the queen's aunt, and it was only her and the green moss beside the queen mother. Others couldn't see clearly, but they could see clearly that the queen was relying on The empress dowager is so arrogant.

"I want to report to the Empress Dowager, my concubine saw two deep strangle marks on the neck of Zijuan yesterday. I once read a miscellaneous book. If a person is strangled to death and then hung on the beam of the house, there will be bruises on his neck." There are two strangle marks, and the concubine suspects that Zijuan was killed and hung on the beam!" Lu Yunxi took a deep breath and said.

"It's nonsense, cheating the empress dowager is a death penalty!" the queen said coldly.

"Yes or no, you just need to invite someone from the Ministry of Punishment to enter the palace to find out!" Lu Yunxi met the Queen's eyes full of coldness, without a trace of fear in them.

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, the concubine also saw that there were indeed two deep strangulation marks. If she hanged herself, there should only be one. Could it be that she hanged herself twice?" Concubine Shu said incredulously.

"The concubine saw it too!" Concubine Yu also echoed.

"What about you? Who else saw it!" the Queen Mother asked in a deep voice.

"The concubine saw it!" Concubine Wan and Lady Lan immediately stood up and said in a low voice.
