Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 531 Xinyue’s Revenge (1)
"What's the matter with the two lovers?" Seeing Cheng Rong and Bao Shang's worried looks, Ming Gong couldn't help asking curiously.

"Your Majesty, something serious has happened. Master Song Yan was assassinated by an assassin when he was out yesterday. Now he is seriously injured and cannot go to court." Cheng Rong said with a sigh.

"What? Under the weather, someone dared to openly assassinate an important official of the court! Cheng Rong, tell me, who is so bold to commit crimes against the wind?" Ming Gong said incredulously.

"My lord, the assassin's assassination skills surpass those of the masters, and he must not be an idler. I am worried that the origin of this assassin must have a Xirong background." Cheng Rong guessed.

"Xirong? Since he is the assassin of Xirong, how could he be so familiar with the streets and alleys of my Great Zhou? Could it be that there is any internal response for him in the capital?" Ming Gong frowned.

"This is what I'm most worried about. If the conservative faction in the court secretly surrenders to Xirong and acts as a spy for Xirong, the capital will be in danger." Cheng Rong said worriedly.

"Okay! I just don't believe it. There are more than [-] forbidden troops in the capital city of Zhou. Could it be that I can't catch a few Xirong thieves? Cheng Rong, I ordered you to investigate this case with full authority. No matter who it is, I will definitely punish him severely!" Ming Gong stared at Cheng Rong with piercing eyes and ordered.

On this day, concubines and concubines of the harem went to Jianjia Palace to greet Baosi, but Baosi looked around, but found that nobleman Song was nowhere to be seen, so he looked at nobleman Mei and asked softly: "Mr. Song Guiren's father, Lord Song, was assassinated in the capital and was seriously injured, Song Guiren didn't come today, could it be because he was worried about his father and felt unwell?"

Mei Gui elegantly blessed her, and lightly opened her lips and said: "Empress, Mrs. Song is frightened and has been inquiring about her natal family, so she didn't fall asleep last night, so her body is weak. Today, I sent a personal maid to take care of her." The concubine please resign."

"Oh, Mrs. Mei, you go back and pass on the words of my palace so that the nobles of Song don't have to worry. Wang Shangshengming will definitely return the Song family to justice." Bao Si happily ordered.

At this time, Xinyue, who was seated on one side, slowly stood up, bowed to Bao Si and said, "Empress, my concubine is worried that this matter has something to do with our harem."

"Concubine Xin." Baosi saw that it was not her head, so she quickly gave Xinyue a wink. Among the concubines, Concubine Huan is now reduced to a nobleman, and she is confined to the Peony Pavilion. Only Concubine Xin, Concubine Ge, and Concubine Jiang condescend to her position. Of the three of them, the remaining concubines Jing, Song Guiren, and Mei Guiren were all of low rank. Xinyue's voice of doubt immediately changed Concubine Jiang's and Concubine Ge's faces, and they did not dare to relax when they looked at Xinyue.

Xinyue knew that Concubine Jiang was guilty of being a thief, so she couldn't help but smiled and closed her mouth.

"Okay, I know that there have been a lot of strange and chaotic things in the harem recently. First, a court lady was framed for stealing, and there was a lot of discussion, and then the little prince was killed, and the imperial concubine Huan was implicated and deposed. Originally, the king was in the previous court. There are so many opportunities to deal with, and if I have no ability to keep the harem safe and sound, will I still have a face to deal with the state? So I hope that all the younger sisters can be magnanimous, so that the king can worry less." Bao Si said with a cheerful face. Said to everyone.

"Empress, there are people in this palace spreading rumors every day, attacking and slandering others, for fear that the world will not be chaotic. Even if we sisters each give in, how can we prevent villains from stirring up trouble and turning black and white?" The speaking Jing concubine stood up angrily.

"Concubine Jing, what's wrong with you? Why is everyone targeting me? Could it be that I did something wrong?" Concubine Jiang saw Concubine Jing gritted her teeth, her watery eyes were clearly looking directly at her, Can't help but get up to tell the difference.
