Chapter 282

Waking up this morning, Shen Yasu was chirping on a branch, making people's brains ache from the noise.At the beginning of Maoshi, the Empress Dowager sent someone to invite Yingyun to the Palace of Compassion, and Yingyun guessed that there must be a clue to the matter of Concubine Yi.

As soon as she entered the Palace of Compassion and Ning, Yingyun saw the empress dowager and Nurse Xiangzhi's solemn faces, and she had a bad premonition in her heart.

Yingyun entered the seat and asked: "Lafayette called his concubine over early in the morning, is there any clue about Concubine Yi?"

The queen mother narrowed her eyes slightly, and said: "Following the line of silver ingots and tin foils, the internal supervisor on duty of Shenwumen identified that Yue Rong, who had seen Changchun Palace a few days ago, asked someone to bring some into the palace. Last night, I The Department of Punishment and Punishment quietly detained Yue Rong for questioning and obtained a confession that on the night Yi Concubine drowned, Concubine Shun went out alone with silver ingots and tin foil, and returned to Changchun Palace in the middle of the night."

Yingyun asked suspiciously: "Lafayette suspects that this matter has something to do with Concubine Shun?"

The Queen Mother said: "On weekdays, Concubine Shun is like a docile rabbit, harmless to humans and animals, and I will do my best to serve you. If it is said that she and Concubine Yi had a dispute and pushed her into the imperial pool, I really don't believe it. But the evidence In front of us, what is the truth, we can only call Shun concubine to ask."

After finishing speaking, the Empress Dowager looked at Aunt Xiangzhi again, and said, "You go to the Changchun Palace yourself, pass on my order, and call your concubine Shun into the Palace of Compassion and Ning immediately for questioning."

"Yes." Sister Xiangzhi bowed and retreated.

In Changchun Palace, Concubine Shun hadn't slept soundly for several nights, even if she slept lightly, at midnight, she would always be awakened by the nightmare and covered in cold sweat.

Early this morning, Yuerong was not seen entering the palace to serve. Concubine Shun asked the little maid on duty, only to find out that Yuerong had disappeared during the night.

Concubine Shun felt as if a big stone had been placed in her heart, making it hard for her to breathe, her face was as pale as paper, without any trace of rosy complexion.She dismissed all the people in the hall, and only one person was doing makeup in front of the mirror.

The person in the mirror has delicate features, Luo Zidai strokes the slender willow-leaf eyebrows, and puts on a lily-scented rouge. The whole person looks glamorous and charming.

Sister Xiangzhi entered the bedroom alone, looking at the silent figure of Concubine Shun, she thought that she had accompanied the Queen Mother all the way and had seen countless people, but Concubine Shun in front of her still made her feel a little apprehensive.

Sister Xiangzhi straightened her voice and said, "Ms. Shun, Lafayette sent you to the Palace of Compassion."

Concubine Shun turned her eyes lightly, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, and said: "Mother Lao, wait a moment, I'll go when I'm fully dressed."

"it is good."

The friendship in the weekdays is there, and Madam Xiangzhi didn't urge her anymore, but waited aside, watching her put on a delicate makeup.

When leaving Changchun Palace, Concubine Shun looked back at the luxurious and empty bedroom, smiled self-deprecatingly, and then resolutely went to Compassion Palace with Sister Xiangzhi.

Going here, the glory and wealth are all passing clouds, like wind, like fog, all drifting away.

Concubine Shun didn't pass on the sedan chair, but walking on the long palace road on foot reminded her of the day when she first entered the palace, carrying the glory of the Lu family on her back, even if she was reluctant, she could only linger in the palace.

Five years have passed, and even though she is a concubine, she has not had a happy day.

Perhaps, today she can reunite with the deceased of the Lu family and the person whom she misses dearly in Jiuquan, so every step she takes is extraordinarily brisk.

When passing through Yikun Palace, the concubines who came to pay their respects had already arrived one after another. Concubine Shun saw Ling Concubine's shoulders landing from a distance, their eyes briefly met, and then hurriedly said goodbye.
