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

Chapter 697 Guilty
After Concubine Qiu left, the queen supported her head, as if she was thinking about something, Lian Xin came in from the outside, bowed and said: "Madam, Miss Ruyi's body has been disposed of, it is said that Miss Ruyi's family did not treat her very well. So the servants made their own decisions and didn't send the money over."

The queen pinched the center of her eyebrows, nodded and said: "I know, you can go down."

Lian Xin paused for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, the news from the Emperor said that the Emperor already knew that the last person His Highness the Princess saw in the Plum Garden was Qingmei Ren, and now she has already gone to Xuanhua Palace. "

"I already know about this matter, don't worry about it, Lian Xin, you can step back, I want to be alone for a while."

"No, the maidservant is at the door, if you have any orders from the empress, just call."

"Ah."

Lian Xin backed away with some worries, she knew that Concubine Qiu must have said something unpleasant when she came here, which made the empress feel uncomfortable, but the empress didn't want to say it, and she didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only leave her alone After a while, the empress is always sensible, and she should be able to figure it out soon.

Xuanhua Palace.

In Concubine Gu's impression, the emperor had never shown such anger in front of concubines in the harem. Those red eyes seemed to be eating people.

When the emperor came over, Concubine Gu was basking in the sun in the yard outside, while Qingmei was resting in the house. During this period of time, she could also feel that Qingmei was gradually alienating her. As for why, she didn't know. .

She didn't pay too much attention to it, so many things happened to this woman as soon as she entered the palace, and she didn't want to get too close to her, so as not to cause trouble.

Seeing the emperor, she naturally got up to greet her, even though she knew he was not here to see her, but the emperor impatiently told her to go back, and ordered not to come out no matter what sounds she heard.

Concubine Gu didn't realize it for a while, and only realized when she returned to the room, could it be that Qing beauty was related to the assassination of Princess Minghui?If this is the case, then her good days are probably coming to an end.

Everyone can see how much the emperor loves Princess Minghui. For so many years, Princess Minghui has never suffered any grievances in the palace. The emperor is not even willing to scold her. Now she is assassinated in the plum garden and almost cannot come back. Well, the emperor is afraid that he wants to tear the murderer's heart apart. At this juncture, anyone who has anything to do with this matter will have no good results.

Concubine Gu stayed in the room, not caring about what happened next door, she just had to wait until everything was over and know the result.

The emperor was extremely angry. In fact, he had already guessed who did it, especially when the prince said that the murderer and the assassin of Xu concubine were the same person. He had already confirmed that person, but what he couldn't figure out was why, that Don't people only hurt people who treat Qingmei people badly?He understands Huier's temperament very well, she is kind-hearted, she will never deliberately make things difficult for anyone, and Qingmei has always been in the imperial study, where is the opportunity for Huier to make things difficult for her?
When he returned to the imperial study, the emperor saw the pastry sent by Qingmei at a glance. It was a plum cake made by Qingmei herself. Since it was plum blossom, did the flower come from the plum garden?
The emperor immediately ordered people to investigate, and finally found out that someone had indeed seen Qingmei go to the plum garden, and the time was not far from the time when Huier went to the plum garden. It is very likely that the two met in the plum garden. What made that person attack Hui'er, but what did Hui'er say to kill her? Why didn't Qingmei say a word in the imperial study.

Also, as soon as Hui'er had an accident, she brought the plum cake to the imperial study, and made it clear that she had found evidence of her alibi, so what was she thinking?
The more the emperor thought about it, the more angry he became, so there was the scene just now.

Shen Qingmin was sitting in the room embroidering. When she heard that the emperor was coming, she immediately went out to greet her. Before she could walk out of the room, the emperor pushed the door open and entered, staring at her with red eyes.

Seeing such an emperor, Su Ping took two steps back subconsciously, but Shen Qingmin didn't move, as if she was frightened.

She called softly: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

The emperor narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "I ask you, did you see Hui'er in the plum garden?"

After hearing this, Qingmei wrung her fingers nervously, and nodded submissively: "The concubine met Her Highness the Princess in the plum garden. It is the concubine's fault that I didn't explain this matter to the emperor in time."

"I can understand if I didn't say it at the beginning, but after you learned that Huier was assassinated, you still didn't say a word. This is doubtful. Tell me, did you arrange the assassination of Huier?"

Shen Qingmin was horrified in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She looked at the emperor in a daze, and then knelt down on the ground with a plop, shaking her head in horror: "Your Majesty, I'm wronged. I didn't do anything. Where does this concubine come from with such ability, please ask the emperor to investigate clearly."

"You don't have such ability? It's already at this point, do you still want to argue in front of me?" Then, the emperor raised his foot and kicked him severely, and said angrily: "If you don't tell me honestly, or else I will I want your life!"

"Your majesty." Qingmei came to the emperor's feet, hugged his leg and shook her head: "The concubine really doesn't know anything, why did the emperor suddenly ask the concubine like this, it is good that the concubine didn't tell the emperor ah."

"Kindly?" The emperor snorted, "Then tell me, why are you so kind?"

Qingmei didn't dare to hide any more, so she said it clearly: "The concubine was picking flowers in the plum garden and wanted to make plum cakes for the emperor. When the picking was about to finish, Her Royal Highness happened to come in. The concubine was panicked, and stepped forward to make plum cakes for the princess. Your Highness greets you, but Your Highness said that the concubine is an elder, and the concubine greeted the princess because she was said to be disrespectful. The concubine explained that because the concubine was a maid before, she got used to it, and asked the princess to forgive me, the princess Just say that she is already married, even if the concubine tries to please her, she will not be of any help to the concubine. Tell the concubine not to disturb her. Although the concubine does not mean this, she understands what the princess means, so she comes out of the plum garden gone."

"really?"

"The concubine dare not hide anything from the emperor." Qing Meiren immediately said: "Didn't the emperor also say that this time the plum blossom cake plum blossoms are a little less, and the fragrance is not as strong as before. The concubine did not say the reason. I didn't want to have any estrangement between the emperor and the princess. Later, when I found out that His Royal Highness was assassinated, the concubine was worried and afraid. The concubine was worried that something would happen to the princess. The concubine could hardly absolve herself of the blame, and she was also worried that the emperor would misunderstand the concubine because of it. So my concubines dare not speak, and ask the emperor to forgive me."

The emperor was silent, as if in thought, and then stretched out his hand to pull her up.
