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

Chapter 480 The Change of Elbow and Armpit (9)
Yun Lan and Jin Xin kept shaking her from the side, knowing that she couldn't accept such a big pain for a while, but still hoped that she could wake up as soon as possible, after all, her life was at stake, so she had to find a way to get rid of it at this time Own suspicion, not blindly sad.

"Mother, wake up, wake up..."

"Sister Gu..." Qingchen looked at Yunlan in a daze, choked up and couldn't utter a word, the tears were falling down unconsciously, and couldn't be stopped no matter what.She stood up with difficulty, and ran out staggeringly, Yun Lan and Jin Xin hurriedly chased her out.

"Ma'am, I'm sorry, please calm down."

No matter what, Qingchen wanted to see that poor girl for the last time. She came from a humble background, and was constrained by the queen's cowardice and tolerance in everything. She seemed to have never had her own thoughts. She lived as humble as dust in this palace, and never dared to Competing with others is just waiting quietly under the name of a concubine.

Lonely lamp in the long night, suffering silently alone, but such a harmless person was still used and killed in this way, Qingchen was not only angry, but also hated, the hatred that hurt like skin, let She has a beast-like urge to bite people.

She remembered that when she first entered the palace, Shen Jingshu made things difficult for her, and often she couldn't even have dinner. At that time, it was Gu Manqin who secretly came to deliver food to her in the middle of the night.Shen Jingshu is insidious, and her tormentors are subtle and vicious. Many times, Gu Manqin begged the princess behind her back to rescue her.At that time, she really took pity on her like taking care of her younger sister.

After entering the palace, the situation was even more difficult. If it wasn't for her always secretly helping her and enlightening herself from time to time, she might not be able to survive such a difficult life.It was because of her support that she gritted her teeth and survived a whole year.

Even though the position is different now, Qingchen still treats her very intimately in his heart. He has never deliberately alienated her because of the empress, but instead takes care of her as much as possible and repays the kindness of help that day.

People in the harem are treacherous and treacherous, and it is not easy to have a friendship. Gu Manqin is a friend she cherishes very much, but now she is killed outside her palace, and all doubts are pointed at her. Will this be deceiving too much? more?

When Qingchen ran to Gu Manqin's bedroom, the queen and Xiao Jun were both there. Seeing that her face was covered with tears, she didn't even know that her temple hair was scattered and dragged by her ears. Seeing her like that made people feel distressed.

She felt sad and didn't care about etiquette, so she just knelt at Xiao Jun's feet, "Your Majesty, I beg you to avenge Sister Gu for finding out the real murderer!"

Seeing that she was crying unrestrainedly, Xiao Jun leaned over and hugged her vigorously, and said softly: "I have something to ask you later, how decent are you?"

At this moment, Qingchen felt as uncomfortable as being cut by a knife, so he couldn't care less about his dignity, so he just cried and begged: "Your Majesty, please let this concubine take another look at elder sister Gu, and ask this concubine to take one last look at her, right? "

Xiao Jun sighed heavily, and winked at Fu Quan, Fu Quan hurriedly led the way and said, "Mrs. Concubine Rong, please express my condolences and come in with the servant."

Qingchen followed Fuquan into Gu Manqin's inner room, and saw her lying quietly on the bed, the bloody clothes on her body had been changed, and her hair had been combed, presumably she was going to be put into the coffin soon.

She just lay there quietly, as if she had fallen asleep. Except for her pale face, she seemed to be the same as usual, but she would never wake up from this sleep.

"Sister Gu..." She felt overwhelmed with sadness, but when she saw Gu Manqin's body in the end, she couldn't say anything.

Xiao Jun heard her heart-piercing crying outside the door, and frowned to look at the queen. Although the queen was still calm, she also had a look of unbearable expression on her face with red eye circles.

The queen wiped the corners of her eyes and said to Xiao Jun: "Your Majesty, you know that Concubine Rong and Gu Jieyu got along very well when they were in the palace, and their relationship has always been harmonious when they entered the palace. Other courtiers and concubines don't know. But I know that whenever the emperor has any rewards for Concubine Rong, she will always send a portion to Gu Jieyu, and if it is said that she has harmed Gu Jieyu, the concubine can't believe it."

Xiao Jun snorted coldly and said: "Of course I don't believe it, just like the last time Beauty Li died under her back window, how many people thought that Concubine Rong killed her for revenge, but what happened?"

The queen nodded slightly. What she just said just now was nothing more than testing Xiao Jun's attitude towards this matter. Sure enough, the emperor didn't believe it.In fact, the queen herself was a little bit skeptical that it was Qingchen who killed Gu Jieyu, but she didn't understand why the buttons on her body were held in Gu Manqin's hands.

The person died outside the Tonghua Palace, and there was something on Rongpin in his hand. No matter how you look at it, it seems that the two had a conflict and killed each other, but since the person was killed, the post-mortem officer from the Ministry of Criminal Justice said that he died last night. , then Concubine Rong would not be so stupid as not to dispose of the corpse, at least she would move it somewhere so that no one would suspect it, instead of letting Gu Manqin's corpse wait outside her palace to be discovered.

What's more, when Qingchen came to pay her respects this morning, she didn't see any difference from her usual life. Fortunately, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager had already left for Beijing two days ago, otherwise it would be another serious crime to kill someone outside the ancestor's palace. pieces.

Qingchen was lying in front of Gu Manqin's bed, crying until she was dying, and she had no strength left in her body. Yun Lan and Jin Xin couldn't persuade her no matter what. She reached out to shake Gu Manqin's hand, but Yun Lan desperately held her back, " Empress, no matter how sad you are, you must never touch the dead person's hand, this is a big taboo, absolutely not!"

According to the custom of Dagan, if the living touches the hand of the dead, it often means an extremely ominous move, and the dead will take away the life of the living.This kind of taboo in the palace is even more serious, Yun Lan dare not let her commit such a foolishness no matter what.

Fuquan persuaded softly from the side: "Your Majesty, it's time for you to leave, the emperor is still waiting for you outside."

Qingchen knows that this matter has not been investigated clearly, and she must not fall down until she finds out the truth. She must find out the real culprit and avenge Gu Manqin!

Holding Yun Lan's hand, she staggered out, but she was in a trance because of her grief, and when she was going down the steps, her foot slipped, and she fell heavily forward.With her brute force, Yun Lan and Jin Xin couldn't support her, she was about to fall, Xiao Jun strode forward, and caught her firmly, Qing Chen bumped into her The emperor's chest hit him so hard that he suffocated instantly, and then coughed violently.

The queen hurried forward and asked, "Your Majesty, what do you think?"

Xiao Jun's face was reddened by the sudden cough just now, after taking a few deep breaths, she looked at Qing Chen who had fainted in her arms and said helplessly: "I'm fine, I'll leave the affairs here to the queen, first I will Send Concubine Rong back to the palace."
