The Evil King's Crazy Wife: The World of Ghost Concubine

Chapter 1186 A Coincidence of Death

In the early morning of dawn, the sun had not yet risen, and the sky was still gray. There was a young eunuch running in the originally quiet palace corridor. Seeing his quick steps, he was very nervous and anxious. Maybe something big happened.

It is true that there is something to do, but whether it is a big or a small thing depends on the attitude of the masters.

It's normal for someone to die in the palace, and it's even more normal for someone to die in the cold palace. But if three people die at once, and all three are empresses, then no matter whether it's normal or not, you have to report it. No one dares to bother you at this point. Your Majesty, the empress is the head of the harem, so the little eunuch is naturally going to Fenglin Palace.

Before morning, the queen was soundly asleep, and she was suddenly woken up in a bad mood, but she cheered up when she heard that someone died in the cold palace, and summoned the little girl who hurriedly came to report eunuch.

"Slave Xiao Shunzi pays respects to the empress."

The queen frowned: "Xiao Shunzi? Are you serving in the cold palace?"

Xiao Shunzi lay prone on the ground, not even daring to look at the queen, and responded: "Yes, my lady, my slave Xiao Shunzi, who is the one who serves in the cold palace."

"You said someone died in the cold palace, what's the matter?"

"Returning to your mother, the slave got up this morning and went to the cold palace to wait for his order as usual, but unexpectedly, he found three corpses."

"Three corpses?" The queen knew it already, and asked casually, "Whose corpses?"

"If you're going back to Mistress, they are Mistress Kong Zhaoyi, Mistress Xue Zhaoyi, and Mistress Wei Meiren."

Sure enough, as expected by the queen, she knew that there were many people belonging to Concubine Qiu in this palace, no, she made a move.

"How did you die?"

"Returning to your mother, Kong Zhaoyi hanged herself. She was not in the same room as Xue Zhaoyi and Wei Meiren. Xue Zhaoyi and Wei Meiren killed each other. They stabbed each other to death with a dagger. They all stared at each other and stabbed each other's daggers into each other's bodies, the slave didn't dare to be negligent, so he rushed to report to the empress, and disturbed the empress's rest, the slave deserves death."

The queen said lightly: "You've done a good job, I won't blame you, get up and speak, Lian Xin, give me a reward."

"promise."

"Thank you Empress Empress for the last time, I am ashamed to be a slave." That being said, the little eunuch collected money very smoothly.

The queen said in a deep voice, "You said that Kong Zhaoyi hanged himself?"

"Yes ma'am."

"Xue Zhaoyi and Wei Meiren killed each other?"

"Yes ma'am."

"I know, you can step back, I will send someone to deal with this matter, you just go to the cold palace and wait, naturally there will be times when you are needed."

The little eunuch nodded again and again: "I understand, I will leave."

After the little eunuch left, Lian Xin whispered next to the queen: "Mother, this matter is not that simple. The servant thinks that no matter whether it is Kong Zhaoyi, Xue Zhaoyi, or Wei Meiren, there is no reason to die at the same time, especially Kong Zhaoyi, isn't she already crazy? Did it fall? Why would a crazy person hang himself? And he hanged himself early or late, but why did he hang himself at this time?"

The queen sneered: "Isn't this matter clear enough? Kong Zhaoyi's suicide was just incidental, and Xue Zhaoyi and Wei Mei were her goals."

Lian Xin heard it clearly: "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

"No one except Concubine Qiu could have done this so perfectly. Didn't Xiao Shunzi say that Xue Zhaoyi and Wei Meiren stabbed each other to death, who would be so stupid as to not finish until they stabbed themselves to death? According to my palace It can be deduced that Concubine Qiu must have sent someone to kill the two of them, and then fabricated a picture of them stabbing each other to death, as long as the final move is perfectly executed, no one will suspect anything."

"Your Majesty, should we just let the imperial concubine kill people in the palace? Do you want to thoroughly investigate this matter?"

"Everyone is already dead. If I thoroughly investigate this matter, I will inevitably be gossiped by people. I thought I was targeting someone on purpose. Now who is the most likely person to do such a thing? The emperor knows in his heart. As long as the emperor knows who It is good and who is bad, then I don't care whether I want to help them seek justice."

Lian Xin nodded to express her understanding: "Your Majesty, do you want that servant to go to the Leng Palace to watch?"

"Well, go ahead and clean up the corpse, I will tell the emperor about the rest."

"Yes, this servant obeys." Lian Xin stepped back to do her work, but the queen lost the interest in going to sleep, so she simply asked someone to come in to help her dress up.

The emperor heard about this matter before he came to the court, but he didn't ask about it because the state affairs were important. He didn't ask the queen about it until he came to Fenglin Palace after the court.

"Queen, I heard that someone died in Lenggong, is it true?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." The queen waited for the emperor to arrive, and said with a sigh: "Before the concubine got up, Xiao Shunzi from the Leng Palace came to report that Kong Zhaoyi, Xue Zhaoyi, and Mei Wei were all dead. I found it strange, so I asked him about the specific situation, and according to Xiao Shunzi, Kong Zhaoyi hanged himself, Xue Zhaoyi and Wei Meiren were always noisy, and they stabbed each other to death."

The emperor frowned: "Why is it such a coincidence? The three people found by Concubine Qing all died on the same day. Has the empress checked?"

"The concubine let Lianxin pass by, but the concubine sometimes wondered if it was a coincidence. It is very likely that Kong Zhaoyi saw the scene of Xue Zhaoyi and Wei Meiren stabbing each other to death, and committed suicide after being greatly stimulated. Yes, my concubine ordered Lian Xin to bury the body if there are no other problems."

The emperor snorted in displeasure: "I originally thought that this matter would be over after Concubine Qing was sent out. After all, a few people would have to die. Empress, you have arranged this matter very well, so I will hand it over to you." I'll handle it for you."

"Yes, my concubine obeys the order." What the emperor said just now is obviously doubting someone. As for who he is doubting, the queen is very clear in her heart. What she wants is the emperor's suspicion. Now that the goal is achieved, Xue Zhaoyi and the others will die. It was a worthy death.

"Queen, I'm really tired, and I really don't know what to do." The emperor sighed again and again, his face full of helplessness.

In the final analysis, the emperor just couldn't bear it. He was always ruthless towards that woman. It had been many years, and she was used to it.

"Your majesty, the imperial physician said, you can't think too much. Some things pass as they pass. It's just a pain for these three sisters to live in the cold palace. It's a relief to go earlier."

The emperor was talking about Concubine Qiu, but the queen deliberately pretended not to understand. He was talking about Kong Zhaoyi, Xue Zhaoyi, and Wei Meiren. The emperor heard it and felt more helpless, sighed and said nothing more.
