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

Chapter 584 Bloody Trap (12)
Concubine Li sneered, "That means there are accomplices."

Qingchen asked in a mocking cold voice: "Did the empress see who the accomplice is? Don't you want to say it's the little Xiangzi in my palace?"

Concubine Li really didn't expect that there were other people in Lingyin Pavilion at that time. Seeing that Qingchen was about to be cleared of suspicion, she couldn't help but gritted her teeth and said, "Even if it's not someone from your palace, there must be someone to help you, otherwise you wouldn't You may return to Duanyang Palace so quickly, don't think that if Wu Zuo found a man's fingerprint, this matter has nothing to do with you, this palace will find out the truth sooner or later, you can't escape."

Qingchen pursed his lips calmly, and said with a smile unhurriedly: "Your Majesty is really amazing, even if the Emperor tells you to investigate this matter strictly, and the Empress Empress and Concubine Ning are still there, how can it be your turn to intervene? When will this harem You have come to be in charge after becoming a concubine? Could it be that the favor is too great, and even the queen concubine is not in your eyes?"

Concubine Li was dumbfounded, and turned to the queen and said: "Empress, please be the master of Feng Guiren, don't let her lose her child and watch the murderer get away with it."

Xiao Jun was annoyed by their quarrel, got up and said: "From now on, I don't want to hear unsubstantiated testimony. If any of you doubt Rong Zhaoyi, you should present definite evidence. Otherwise, whoever Talk too much, don't blame me for being merciless."

Xiao Jue persuaded from the side: "Brother Huang, don't be angry, just leave this matter to the emperor's wife to investigate. The emperor's wife has always been careful in controlling the six palaces, and I believe that the investigation will always reveal the truth."

"There is a murder case in the harem, of course we have to investigate it thoroughly, otherwise, wouldn't everyone be in danger?" Xiao Jun glanced at Qing Chen coldly, the look in his eyes was unclear, but Qing Chen knew in his heart that this time, the emperor did not trust him She, even if he doesn't believe that she will kill someone, but he doesn't necessarily believe that she hasn't been out of Duanyang Palace, because the burning of that dress is too coincidental, even if no one catches her, the emperor is suspicious and wise, she knows Xiao Jun was already suspicious.

Li Fuze and Lou Jing came out to meet him, Xiao Jun asked, "How is Mrs. Feng?"

Lou Jing replied: "Your Majesty, Feng Guiren's fetus was not saved, but the young master is in good health, as long as he rests well, he can still give birth to an heir for the Emperor in the future."

Xiao Jun said to the queen: "Let's go in and see Mrs. Feng Gui."

The queen followed the emperor into the inner room, Concubine Li gave Qing Chen a hard look, and passed her by, Qing Chen hesitated for a moment, but still followed in, Xiao Jue could only wait outside, the concubine inside After all, it is inconvenient for him to enter the room.

Xiao Jun saw Feng Guiren lying on the bed weakly, probably because of excessive blood loss, his face was pale and frighteningly pale, and his spirit was extremely exhausted, anyone who saw this state would inevitably feel soft-hearted and pity.

Feng Guiren opened his eyes slightly, and seeing the emperor sitting on the side of the couch, he couldn't help weeping and said: "Your Majesty, concubines are useless, they didn't protect our children well."

Xiao Jun leaned over to tuck the corner of the quilt for her, but her eyes were always cold, and her tone was also a little cold, and she said: "I know you are sad, and I also love this child, but you are pregnant and came to Lingyin Pavilion do what?"

Feng Guiren has already seen Qingchen standing aside at this moment, pointing at her with a trembling hand, gnashing his teeth as if he wanted to peel her skin and cramp, and said: "It's her, it's her who sent someone to invite my concubine to be in Lingyin Pavilion at three o'clock in the next hour. When we met, I said that I had something important to tell Chen Qie, and then Chen Qie went to see her, but she suddenly pushed Chen Qie away, saying that Chen Qie's status was lowly, and she was not worthy to give birth to an heir for the emperor. Your Majesty, she harmed I killed my concubine's child, and even killed my concubine's maidservant, this femme fatale woman, the emperor must kill her to avenge our child!"

She cried all the way, the emperor's face became more and more cold, the queen turned around slightly and closed her eyes, thinking that Feng Guiren was too impatient, such unproportioned testimony would only make the emperor think that she was emotionally overwhelmed and didn't know what to say. Doing nothing by yourself will only backfire.

The queen knew in her heart that although Xiao Jun was gentle to the concubines in the harem, he was always indifferent to favor and favor. He was not a sentimental person in his bones, so smart people always showed their cowardly side in front of her to win his pity, such as Sang Wanrong , Rong Zhaoyi, or his gentle and virtuous side, such as He Shuyi and Concubine Ning.What he hates the most are women who are scheming, vicious and disrespectful.

Without any evidence, it is really unwise for her to cling to Rong Zhaoyi like this.

Sure enough, the emperor got up and said: "I will ask the imperial physician to take good care of you. If you need anything, just ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs. You should have a good rest first. I will take care of the rest, so I won't wrong you."

"Your Majesty..." Feng Guiren bowed desperately, pulled one of his sleeves, and wept bitterly on the edge of the bed, "Even if the Emperor doesn't take pity on the concubine, he should also think that the concubine's belly is also the emperor's flesh and blood. To be the master for our prince..."

"You don't need to tell me these things, I know it well." He shook off her hand and walked out angrily.

Qingchen couldn't bear it anymore, if the matter is not settled today, and the matter will be handed over to the queen next time, who knows where it will develop, she cannot give them a chance to plan again.

She quickly turned around and came out and knelt down: "Your Majesty, this concubine wants to ask the emperor to let this concubine meet the little father-in-law who testified that this concubine stole out of Duanyang Palace without permission. This concubine has something to ask him."

Xiao Jun thought for a while and ordered: "Go and bring the little eunuch who informed Concubine Li."

Fu Quan hurriedly went out to call for someone. Since he was a witness, he naturally followed Concubine Li all the time. He had been waiting outside for a long time. Hearing the emperor's summons, he hurriedly followed Fu Quan in and kowtowed: "My servant sees the emperor. Your Majesty is auspicious."

Xiao Jun suppressed the anger in her heart, lifted her clothes and sat on the chair at the top of the small flower hall, and asked coldly, "What's your name, and where do you work?"

The little father-in-law in Tsing Yi secretly glanced at Qing Chen, and after rolling his eyes a few times, he replied: "If you go back to the emperor, the slave's name is Qian Gui, and he works in the Miscellaneous Bureau."

Xiao Jun nodded, and seeing the queen and concubine Li also came out of Feng Guiren's inner room, she said, "Rong Zhaoyi has something to ask the little eunuch who saw her out of the palace, the queen and concubine Li should listen to it together. ?”

The queen looked very worried. As a queen, shouldn't she be responsible for such a big event in the harem?So no matter what the truth of this matter is, she must do enough on the surface.The queen replied obediently: "Yes, as a witness, the concubine will have to interrogate him sooner or later, why don't we listen to what Rong Zhaoyi has to say first."
