Chapter 146 The Reversal Drama (1)

The queen had no choice but to ask Sun Bin to find a way to solve it by himself, and he must not implicate her, otherwise he would not be able to secure his position as the chief eunuch of the imperial court.

Sun Bin recalled that night, he drank too much wine and stayed in Xianfu Palace, and the rumors were first spread from the area of ​​Xianfu Palace. body.

So, Sun Bin bought several palace servants and summoned them before the emperor and empress, letting them speak according to their own ideas.

Sun Bin pointed at them, and shouted sharply: "You guys like to gossip, lest the world will not be chaotic. Let me ask you, where did this rumor first spread?"

The few palace people looked at each other, and a long-faced palace maid at the head said tremblingly: "Eunuch, this rumor has been circulating for a long time, where did it first come from, and this servant doesn't even remember."

Sun Bin sneered and said, "I don't remember? Our family sees that you won't cry when you see the coffin!"

The emperor said coldly: "For such cunning slaves who gobble their tongues, why bother to be friendly with them and send them directly to the Punishment Department, where 72 punishments will be passed through like running water. If you don't believe them, they will not recruit."

As soon as the words were said, two young eunuchs were so frightened that they fell to the ground, and kowtowed repeatedly: "The emperor spares my life, my majesty spares my life, this rumor... This rumor first came from the area around Xianfu Palace."

Linglong hurriedly asked: "The earliest? When is the earliest?"

The little eunuch said timidly, "It's the day that Mrs. Berry gave birth."

Linglong was taken aback: "The day Berry gave birth? It's so early, Your Majesty, you asked Sun Bin to thoroughly investigate the rumors these days, some servants gossip, saying that the rumors came from the concubine. The Palace of Compassion and Ning served the Empress Dowager and never set foot in the Palace of Yanxi Palace, so it is absolutely impossible for her to be a concubine."

The emperor nodded slightly, and looked at Linglong with gentle eyes: "I know you are a measured person, how could you do such a thing? This must be someone who is jealous of Mrs. Berry's pregnancy, or someone who is at odds with Mrs. Berry. made."

The queen's complexion changed, and she said: "The rumors first spread from the area of ​​Xianfu Palace, and the seat of Xianfu Palace is Concubine An, could it be that Concubine An did this?"

Linglong hesitated and said: "It shouldn't be Concubine An. Because of the eldest princess, the emperor punished her for a year of confinement. Now that the confinement order has not been lifted, how dare she do such a thing? Besides, she is in confinement. You can’t step out of the Xianfu Palace at all, so how do you know about Mrs. Berry’s birth?”

The queen glanced at Sun Bin.

Sun Bin understood, and said loudly: "You can't lie in front of the emperor, otherwise it will be a serious crime of deceiving the emperor. Let me ask you again, this rumor really came from the Xianfu Palace, not from other concubines' palaces?"

The little eunuch kowtowed and said, "I dare not lie, it is Xianfu Palace, and the rumors first came from Xianfu Palace."

The empress looked embarrassed: "The concubine and concubine Li think the same thing. Although concubine An said she had a feud with Mrs. Berry before, how could she do such a thing under confinement? But if she didn't do it... Who would slander Mrs. Berry like this?"

Sun Bin said: "Your majesty, although you have banned Empress An's feet, the people under her can move freely. Could it be that her people sneaked into the Palace of Yanxi Palace long before Mrs. Berry gave birth, and hid aside to spy on her?" , when I learned of the situation of Mrs. Berry's child, I notified the past as soon as possible, so there were endless rumors in the harem."
