Qi Zongwen wanted to go to Ditai Palace to discuss the queen mother's condition, but before he reached the main hall, he saw two palace maids kneeling outside the hall, hanging their heads and kneeling on the ground very awkwardly.

"What's going on?"

"Nothing. The palace maid of the Ditai Palace said, "It's just a mistake, the mother punished her for kneeling, and the slave maid let them go down." She stretched out her hand and beckoned to the back, and three more palace maids came, ready to take the kneeling people away in twos and twos.

"Wait. Qi Zongwen walked a few steps forward and turned back, with doubts on his face, "The palace clothes of these two people don't look like people from Ditai Palace." ”

There was a palace maid who was too nervous, and she didn't hold her hand, and the person who was holding it fell to the ground, revealing a pair of hands that had been punished, "Did the queen lynch her?" Qi Zongwen asked.

"No, nothing. The palace maid hurriedly waved her hand and said.

"What the hell is going on?" Qi Zongwen asked with a frown.

The palace maids knelt down and did not dare to reply.

The queen was preparing to welcome her in front of the palace, but when she saw that Her Majesty's figure was delayed, she came over to take a look. "Your Majesty?"

Qi Zongwen pointed to the palace maid who was lying on the ground unconsciously without anyone to help her, and said, "What's going on?"

"Who is this?" the queen also wondered, "This is not from the Ditai Palace, how can he be here?"

The palace maid looked up anxiously and said, "Slave maid, before you have time to tell your mother, Your Majesty is here." ”

"Who sent them here?" asked the Queen, "what do you mean?"

"Isn't this a reflection of Honguya?"

"It was sent by Concubine Lu and Concubine Yao. The palace maid said, "The person who sent it said that it was related, and they were not good at calling the shots, so they sent it over and let the mother call the shots." ”

"Is this a garbage in this palace? They want to send people over, and they don't even say hello. The queen said angrily, "Your Majesty, the concubine is really aggrieved." ”

"Relationship?, do they have a relationship with Ditai Palace?" Qi Zongwen asked.

"Nope. The queen said, "Come on, go and call Concubine Lu and Concubine Yao to the palace, and let them explain in front of Your Majesty." ”

"Your Majesty?" Han Xing reminded, and the palace maid seemed to have a document on her chest.

"You go check it out. Qi Zongwen said that the only place in this palace that can be openly tortured is the Internal Criminal Division, why did Concubine Lu and Concubine Yao send people who have been interrogated by the Internal Criminal Division to Ditai Palace?

Han Xing flipped out the documents on the chests of the two of them, he didn't look at the content carefully, but just glanced at the seal, which was the seal of the Internal Criminal Division.

Qi Zongwen took a look at it, and after a while, he was furious, "Hello, it's good." ”

He flicked his sleeves and left to return to Tianqing Palace.

"Call me for the afterglow. Qi Zongwen explained.

"Your Majesty!" the queen followed behind and walked a few steps, and her majesty was not allowed to turn back, she turned to the palace maid and said sharply, "Go to the internal punishment department and ask, what is going on?"

Han Xing personally went to call Yu Guang, "You have done a big thing quietly." ”

"Don't dare, I can't afford to say that from Manager Han. Yu Guang arched his hand and said, "There is no way." ”

"Give our family a few more guts, and our family won't dare to offend the queen. ”

"Your Majesty is very angry. Han Xing said, "You have to think about how to reply in front of His Majesty." Han Xing said.

Qi Zongwen read the two confessions a few more times, and also asked people to call the eunuch in Concubine Lu Yao's palace back for inquiry, knowing that Concubine Lu and Concubine Yao had sent the people around the prince back to the inner division, "Now I know that I am in a hurry, why did I go earlier? ”

"Your Majesty, here comes the afterglow. ”

"Come in. Qi Zongwen said.

After saluting, he waited for His Majesty to ask, "You honestly tell me about this from the beginning." Qi Zongwen said. "How can this confession still be out of the Internal Criminal Division?"

"The reason is that Concubine Song's eldest palace maid Rubao is going out of the palace to visit relatives today, and during the routine inspection, it was found that she had a white jade mandarin duck card, two pairs of golden phoenix hairpins, twelve Dongzhu, and five gold ingots in ten taels. ”

Rubao confessed, it was for the rest of the sisters to take things out of the palace, and summoned the finch fan in Concubine Lu's palace and the soft brocade in Concubine Yao's palace, and the younger one called the two of them to the Internal Criminal Division to inquire. ”

They said that these valuable things were given by the godmother, and the palace maid couldn't help beating, and said a bald clean, and the small ones didn't know what to do, so they treated Rubao as a thief, and then sent the soft brocade and the finch fan back to the palace, and let the ladies fall. ”

"You don't know what to do?" Qi Zongwen slapped the table, "At this time, you should go and call Mama Cui to the Internal Criminal Division for interrogation, if she confesses to what she has done, you can deal with it!"

"Mama Cui is no one else. Yu Guang was embarrassed and said, "The little one doesn't dare." ”

"If you don't dare, why don't you come to ask me for advice, and even make your own opinions, so that the big thing is small, and the small thing is turned into a small thing. "Qi Zongwen Road.

"It's normal for the palace to accept daughters and recognize sisters. Yu Guang said, "This matter, this matter, is not to the extent of alarming His Majesty. ”

"Your Majesty thinks for the queen's mother, and you can't let people drag her nurse away. ”

"Then I want to praise you for being considerate. Qi Zongwen laughed angrily.

"Sowing discord, slashing on both sides, and bribing the people around the prince, what is she going to do? ”

"Or everything she does, it is the queen's instructions. ”

"I don't know about this little one. Yu Guang said, "The queen is still very good." ”

"It's good. Qi Zongwen snorted.

Concubine Lu heard that someone from the Ditai Palace called her, she was nervous, and she was hot-headed for a while, and followed Concubine Yao to send people to the Ditai Palace, and she regretted it when she came back, what is the difference between this move and tearing the queen's face in person.

She is a little concubine, and she dares to say goodbye to the queen, and she is also dying.

"Don't be afraid. The palace maid persuaded, "There is also Concubine Yao in Hengzhu." ”

"Besides, the mother has a prince, and the queen just doesn't like the mother, what can she do? Your Majesty will not tolerate anyone in this palace who treats the prince slowly. ”

Concubine Lu settled down and said, "No matter what, the people have already sent it over, and now there is no way to beg for mercy." ”

"I'm just for the third prince, and I have to be tough again. ”

Concubine Yao walked to Concubine Lu's palace to pick her up, "This time it was my idea, my sister just stood behind me." ”

"If we do things together, we will do it together. Concubine Lu took her hand and said, "This time it was the queen who bullied people, we can't keep kneeling and being beaten." ”

Concubine Yao pressed her hand, afraid that she would be afraid to retreat first, since she had such an idea, she was relieved, and she would shoot an arrow from behind her halfway through her words.

When she arrived at Ditai Palace, the queen's face was gloomy, "You two are really good now." ”

"The concubine doesn't know what the queen mother means?" Concubine Yao said, "These two palace maids are the goddaughters of Mama Cui, since they are so towards the Ditai Palace, it is also a good thing to send the Ditai Palace, what does the mother say?"

"What is Mama Cui's goddaughter?" the queen asked, her people went to the Internal Criminal Division to inquire, but they didn't find anything, she was annoyed, "You two don't have the guts, let's be honest, who asked you to do this, is it a concubine or a virtuous concubine?"

"Looking at the framed palace, will there be a day when you will be on the throne?"

"Dreaming. ”

Concubine Yao was surprised, "Didn't Niangniang see those two confessions, they are clearly said on them, and they are not made up by us." ”

"What testimony?" the queen was angry when she thought of this, "Even if you have any misunderstanding about this palace, you will tell this palace in private, but you want to pick the time for Your Majesty to come to the Ditai Palace, and you say that you have no intention of harming this palace?"

"Who believes. ”

"Your Majesty actually bumped into her?" Concubine Lu was shocked, she really didn't know that Concubine Yao was counting His Majesty's time to give it away, and all the reactions were extraordinarily real.

When Concubine Yao heard this, she said, "The concubine didn't expect it to be so unlucky?"

"Then the concubine will go and tell Your Majesty, it's all a misunderstanding, it's the concubine and the others who are playing with the mother. ”

"Shut up. The queen narrowed her eyes and said, "What's the use of you going to tell Your Majesty now, Your Majesty will only think that this palace forced you to say it." ”

"What can I do then?" Concubine Lu said anxiously, "Your Majesty won't care about these trivial matters, right?" ”

"What exactly does the confession say?" asked the Queen.

Concubine Lu wanted to say, but Concubine Yao coughed, "If the words on the confession are easy to say, the concubine doesn't have to send people to the Ditai Palace with the confession in a roundabout way, since the mother doesn't know, then don't know, so as not to get through the estrangement, and you won't be able to get through it in the future." ”

"Do you think that this palace can still have nothing to do with you?" said the queen with a sneer.

"The queen hates us, and we can only bear it. Concubine Yao said.

"Okay, okay. The queen looked at them and sneered.

"Mother, it's not good. The palace maid stumbled in. "Concubine Song hanged herself. ”

"What?" said the queen, standing up, "good and decent, why would she." ”

"Have you been saved?" asked Concubine Yao.

"It was said that it was discovered early, and I still have a breath of relief, and the doctor is healing. The palace maid said, "Your Majesty has passed, so let the lady go over quickly." ”

The queen rushed to Concubine Song's palace.

Concubine Lu asked Concubine Yao uneasily, "Concubine Song won't commit suicide for the sake of Rubao, right?"

"Rubao is the beginning of this incident, it's okay that the queen doesn't know, if she knows, I'm afraid that there will be an estrangement to Concubine Song. ”

"That's not going to be suicidal. Concubine Lu said.

She guessed she scared herself. Concubine Yao said, "Concubine Song has always had a close relationship with the queen, and I am afraid that she will not be able to bear the estrangement of the queen." ”

"It's miserable. Concubine Lu said, "I hope to be saved." ”

Qin Yunyi was stunned for a moment when she learned that Concubine Song had committed suicide, "She." ”

"But it's been saved. Miao An said, "When the slave and maid inquire about the news, except for the throat that is slightly obstructed, the rest does not affect the body. ”

"That's good. Qin Yunyi put his mind at ease, "Go back and find something good for your throat in the warehouse and send it over." ”

"Your Majesty went to see her, and I heard that Concubine Song cried very badly, and begged Your Majesty to let her lose her hair and be a sister-in-law, she never wanted to be His Majesty's concubine again. Miao An said.

"And she said that?"

Miao An nodded, "Your Majesty's face will be ugly. ”

"Hey. Qin Yunyi said, "Maybe she was angry for a while, and she wouldn't say such things when she calmed down." ”

"Speaking of Concubine Song's life, it is no different from that of her sister-in-law, except that she eats and wears better. Miao An said, "For these good food and clothing, I have to flatter the queen, and the palace maid next to her has an accident, obviously it has nothing to do with her, but she forced herself to hang herself." ”

"I want the slave to say, when it comes to this, it is better to be a sister-in-law with lost hair, and it will be clean. ”

"Your Majesty thinks that she is very good to the harem, but now Concubine Song says that she does not want to be Your Majesty's concubine anymore, and Your Majesty must feel uncomfortable. Qin Yunyi said. "That's something I didn't expect. ”

In order to protect herself, she designed others, but how could the incident happen as expected, this accident happened, implicating others, in the final analysis, she shouldn't have been.

"Don't blame yourself. Miao An said, "In the final analysis, it is not Concubine Song who was forced by her mother to commit suicide, and Concubine Song may turn disaster into blessing after this incident." Miao An thought that according to His Majesty's soft-hearted temperament, seeing that Concubine Song was so pitiful, she might hurt her a few more times.
