Chapter 887

Yan Beiqin knew that as long as he said something, his mother would definitely have doubts, so he had already prepared the words that should be prepared.

Turning his head, Yan Beiqin asked back: "Then, does the Empress want her to know, or does she not know?"

The queen frowned slightly, and finally shook her hands, signaling him to back down. Yan Beiqin didn't say much, and bowed to back down.

Lian Xin poured a cup of hot tea for the queen, and asked casually, "Your Majesty, drink some tea."

The queen didn't touch the cup of tea, but asked: "Lian Xin, in your opinion, the prince came this time, did he want to come, or did the princess ask him to come?"

Lian Xin put down the teapot, smiled and said, "Why should you be worried, my majesty, whether it is His Royal Highness who wants to come, or the empress and concubine of the crown prince asked him to come down, doesn't it mean that the two of them are capable, so there is no need for you to worry about it?"

The queen frowned, and then took a sip from the teacup: "Although that's the case, it's better not to know some things. In this harem, the more people who know, the more dangerous they are. Lian Xin, send someone to go outside the palace first. Find out, can Concubine Rui know how to refine poison?"

Lian Xin responded respectfully, and then went down to give orders. The Queen waved her hand, signaling for the rest of the people to retreat, until she was the only one left in the room, then she sighed, propped her forehead and pinched the space between her brows.

Shen Qingmin was already able to get off the ground, but her body was still very weak, and she could only sit for a while, most of the time she was still lying on the bed, she looked really pitiful.

The emperor is also busy recently, so he doesn't come to see her every day, but he does come every now and then, and he doesn't express his distress. No, it has been raining for several days in a row, and finally it cleared up, so she let The man helped him outside and sat in the pavilion in the courtyard to bask in the sun. After a while, the emperor came over.

With Su Ping's support, Shen Qingmin got up to meet her. The emperor saw her and quickly stepped forward to help her up: "My concubine is not feeling well, so there is no need to be polite, please sit down."

Shen Qingmin said with a slight smile: "Your Majesty, the concubines are already much better. Look at the concubines, they can go out to bask in the sun."

"It's fine when you feel better. I don't worry about you, so I came to see you." After speaking, the emperor stretched out his hand to hold her hand, and gently kneaded it in the palm of his hand.

Qing Zhaoyi's face turned red, and she smiled shyly: "The emperor took time out of his busy schedule to visit my concubine, what can I do with my concubine."

"I forbid you to say these things. You, it is because of your temper that people bully you. Even Concubine Rui can't stand it for you."

"Concubine Rui?" Shen Qingmin was puzzled on the surface, but her heart was full of turmoil. That stupid woman must have said something she shouldn't have said.

"Concubine Rui is right. You are born from a humble background, so if there is any trouble, you will be regarded as a thorn in the flesh. Although Concubine Gu keeps complaining and the queen has been investigating, there are no other doubts in this matter after all. I am also extremely disappointed in Concubine Gu, I have already decided that after this matter is over, I will promote you to Concubine Qing, and I will let you live alone in this Xuanhua Palace."

Shen Qingmin scolded Concubine Rui in her heart, but she pretended to be panicked on her face: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible."

"Why not?"

"Let's not talk about whether elder sister Gu Concubine is the real murderer. It's just that you, the emperor, were promoted to a concubine not long ago. If you are promoted again, I'm afraid it will attract criticism."

"I am the Son of Heaven. Who dares to stop what I want to do? I just want to be promoted to a concubine in the harem. Is it possible that I will be involved in important affairs in the court? Can people talk about it behind my back? Don't think too much about it. It will be properly arranged."

"But Your Majesty, Sister Gu Pin should be wronged, otherwise why would she call for injustice?"

"Look at you, you are still speaking for her. It's not that I didn't give her a chance. The queen has been investigating for so many days, but there is no other conclusion. Can there be any accidents? Seeing Dongying's The envoy is about to arrive at the capital, I don't want to make outsiders laugh at me, this matter must be resolved before Dongying arrives at the capital."

"Your Majesty, calm down, if Sister Gu Pin is really wronged..."

"How can I wrong her?" The emperor interrupted her displeasedly: "There are only you and her in this Xuanhua Palace. She also said before that no one else has been to Xuanhua Palace these days, and neither have you." Who did you offend, and who would poison you for no reason? Originally, I couldn't figure out why she wanted to attack you, but after listening to Concubine Rui's words last night, I suddenly realized."

"Concubine Rui, what did you say?"

"Concubine Rui told me that I am also responsible for this matter. If I hadn't arranged you in Xuanhua Palace, these things would not have happened. Concubine Gu is originally a concubine. In this harem, the only concubine who lives alone in the palace is Concubine Gu and Concubine Xu, I chose to arrange you here with Concubine Gu, Concubine Gu must be upset."

"No, when the concubine first came, Sister Concubine Gu treated the concubine very well."

"That was just for others to see. I never expected that Concubine Gu is such a vicious person."

"emperor……"

"My dear concubine, you don't need to say it. This matter was done by Concubine Gu. I think it's almost inseparable. In two days, if the queen hasn't found anything, I will close the case and don't care about it." Should she plead guilty?"

Qing Zhaoyi sighed, and didn't say anything more for Concubine Gu, but looked in the direction of Concubine Gu's bedroom, and asked, "Your Majesty, can I go and see Concubine Gu's sister?"

The emperor frowned: "What are you going to see her for?"

"If Sister Gu Bin really did this, I would like to ask her why? Your Majesty, I will never believe it. If I hadn't heard Sister Gu Concubine tell the truth, I would never believe it. She was the one who poisoned the courtiers and concubines, and asked the emperor to do it."

The emperor let out a long sigh: "You, with your temperament, you can't say it well, even if you go to see her, so what? She refused to say it before, and she won't say it now."

"Your majesty, my concubine begs you."

The emperor saw how pitiful Zhaoyi was, and couldn't bear to refuse, and said, "Okay, I will allow you to visit her, but you have to be careful and don't let anything happen, or I will feel sorry for you." As he spoke, he squeezed her hand again.

Qing Zhaoyi blushed and nodded, and whispered back: "The concubine knows."

"Okay, then I won't stay any longer. If you need anything, just tell them to do it. Don't wrong yourself."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Shen Qingmin got up to send the emperor away, and when the emperor's figure disappeared from the gate of Xuanhua Palace, the smile on her face disappeared completely, and she turned her head to look at Concubine Gu's bedroom, revealing a strange With a sly smile, he ordered: "Suping, let's go, we should also go and see the poor woman, Mrs. Gu."
