The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 308 The Corpse Under the Window (12)
The emperor knew that she had had enough worries today, so he couldn't bear to criticize her anymore, so he had to suppress his temper and help her up and said, "I don't mean anything else, I'm just worried about your safety. The servants around you are spoiled by you, sooner or later One day I cut off their heads, and you know you have to set up some rules for them!"

"Yes, my concubine remembers the sacred teachings, and I will never dare again." Qingchen finally understood why the concubines in the palace had to keep vigil at night. Was it secretly murdered?

The emperor glanced at Jin Xin dissatisfied, and ordered: "Get up, if it's not for the sake of your hard work in serving, I will definitely not forgive you lightly!"

Jin Xin looked at Qing Chen nervously and terrified, and hurriedly kowtowed, "I know I was wrong, thank you emperor for not killing me, I will never dare again."

Qing Chen signaled her to stand up and come to him, Jin Xin's face was ashen, and his heart was pounding, how could he not know that the emperor might take his anger out on her?She is just an insignificant little palace maid, whether to kill or not depends on the emperor's words, it is not impossible to use her as a warning to others.

She got up and hid behind Qingchen with her head bowed, not daring to say another word, for fear that if she would displease the emperor, she would be dragged out and beheaded.

Fu Guang personally questioned all the palace people in Hefeng Palace, and everyone said that it rained too much last night, so they didn't hear anything.

Qingchen asked him softly, "Just now, I heard what your lord said. It seems that Li Meiren was brought to Hefeng Palace by boat. Can lord Fu explain it in more detail?"

Fu Guang hurriedly said: "The lower official is about to report this matter. Judging from the wounds, Li Meiren was killed around the time of Chou, and the reason why she died with her eyes open is because she was stunned by drugs before. , and when the ferry came over, she was woken up by the rain, but at that time because her limbs were weak and her mouth was stuffed with silk, she was killed before she could struggle. Li Meiren had traces of being tied up with rope , there is a silk thread left in her mouth, from which it can be inferred that she may have been kidnapped for a while, and the murderer hid her until the dead of night before transporting her by boat."

Qing Chen glanced at the emperor and saw that he was contemplating. The emperor was thinking about something, and no one dared to disturb him. After listening to Xiao Jun's silence for a while, he asked Concubine Shu: "What did Beauty Li do yesterday? Who did you have contact with?" ? Where was she before the rain?"

She is a pregnant woman, of course she would not go out in the rain to do anything, so she must have been kidnapped before it rained.

Concubine Shu opened her mouth, as if she was in a bit of a dilemma, "Mei Li sat in the concubine's palace for a while at the end of the day. Before it rained, she said she was a little tired, and the concubine asked her to go back to rest. I don't know what happened after that." gone."

The queen sighed softly and said, "Concubine Shu, it's not that I want to find fault with you at this time, but that you are too careless. Li Meiren's residence is so close to your Luoying Hall, when will she disappear?" You don't even know, how do you take care of her? Where did you put your thoughts into?"

Facing the queen's questioning, Concubine Shu had no way to refute, so she could only weakly say to the emperor: "I think Li Meiren's body is not too heavy for the distance of these few steps, besides, there are Qiulu and Linlin beside her." Shuang followed, and there was nothing wrong with it, but unexpectedly... the concubine is not shirking responsibility, but really dare not take Li Meiren's safety at heart."
