Chapter 131: Death Without Proof

"What is going on, the courtiers dare not make judgments. But I am afraid that this matter is really different, in order to give Ya Guifei a truth, I also asked the emperor to agree to investigate the matter thoroughly. ”

If you want to investigate this matter thoroughly, I am afraid that it will cause an uproar in the harem. The chaos in the harem is not what the emperor wants to see. But Maya's bones are not cold, and the emperor also hopes to give her the truth.

"Okay, I'll send someone to investigate this. If Maya had really been designed, I wouldn't have let her go. ”

Seeing that the emperor agreed to his request, Xue Ning knelt down towards the emperor and kowtowed heavily: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

After the emperor returned to the palace, he sent people to investigate the matter, and arrested all the people who were originally serving by Maya's side and interrogated them one by one.

Hearing the news, the queen was worried, so she called Liao Qingyu: "What troubles do you have left behind in Maya's affairs?"

When Liao Qingyu heard this, she shook her head: "Don't worry, the queen mother, the courtiers are extremely careful in this matter, and they will definitely not find any traces." Moreover, the courtiers have already found a substitute for the dead ghost. ”

"Who is the ghost?" asked the queen, frowning.

Liao Qingyu pursed her lips and opened her mouth: "There is a palace maid who is serving by Concubine Ya's side, and the courtiers bought her and asked her to add fuel to the impeachment of the hundred officials and tell Concubine Ya. ”

"This person is the most critical person, if someone catches it, maybe he will find you and this palace here. Where this person is now, bring it to the main palace immediately. Hearing this, the queen was a little anxious.

Seeing that the queen was so anxious, Liao Qingyu opened her mouth again: "Don't worry, the queen, this person will never speak again." Yesterday, she stumbled and fell into the pond and drowned. If you think about it, this body will be found today. ”

After listening to her words, the queen also calmed down: "Drowned?

"It doesn't matter who did it, as long as this person never speaks again and doesn't implicate Niangniang, this is the best result. Liao Qingyu kept having a faint smile on her face, as if she was talking about today's lunch.

The queen looked at Liao Qingyu for a long time, and showed a smile: "I really didn't see the wrong person, it's a pity that you don't want to be the queen with this means." ”

"The courtiers just want to solve the problems for the queen, and the rest of the courtiers don't think much about it. Liao Qingyu lowered his eyes and put on a well-behaved look.

Now that this matter has been dealt with, the queen naturally does not have to worry that this matter will be found on herself, and she can sit back and relax: "You have done a good job in this matter, and this palace will naturally not treat you badly in the future." ”

"Thank you to the queen, the courtiers will rely on the mother. ”

Coming out of the queen's palace, Liao Qingyu and Rou'er said, "Where is the body of the palace maid now?"

"On the second day of the water, it floated, and the slave and maid secretly tied a stone to it, and now it is still sinking to the bottom. Rou'er lowered her voice and said in a voice that only two people could hear.

Liao Qingyu listened to it and was very satisfied with what Rou'er did: "You should also understand what Queen Fangcai said." This palace maid should appear. ”

"Yes, Rou'er understands, and will do it right away. Rou'er responded to Liao Qingyu's words, and then disappeared quietly.

Early the next morning, some palace people found the body of the palace maid while cleaning. After investigation, it was found that it was the palace maid who was originally serving by Concubine Ya's side, and then disappeared.

The rest of the palace people who were waiting by Ya Guifei's side all pointed out that the impeachment of the hundred officials that day was told to Ya Guifei by this palace maid. Now that this person is dead, this matter will not be investigated here.

Hearing the news, the emperor was silent for a long time and stood up: "Go to the queen's palace." ”

It has been more than a month since the last time I went to the queen. Knowing that the emperor was coming, the queen was extremely happy and led everyone to greet her at the door: "I have met the emperor, has the emperor had breakfast?"

"Used. The emperor walked straight into the inner hall and turned to look at the people who were waiting around him, "You all go out, and you can't come in without a call." ”

Everyone saluted and said yes, then left, closed the door, and there were only the emperor and the queen in this hall. Seeing that the emperor's face was not good-looking, the queen's heart was a little drumming: "The emperor came today, but do you have any orders?"

"Maya's death was due to the fact that someone from the palace told her about the impeachment of her by the hundred officials in the early dynasty. She was afraid that she would become a drag on me, so she chose to die to fulfill me. ”

At the mention of Maya, the queen's expression was a little strange, but she quickly returned to normal: "The concubines have heard about this matter, I really didn't expect that there are such palace people who don't understand the rules in this palace." It was the concubine's poor management, and the emperor was asked to punish him. ”

"This palace maid has indeed done something wrong, the person is already dead, and it can be regarded as a life for a life. It's just that I have a doubt about this matter, I wonder if the queen can answer it for me?"

Looking at the emperor's eyes, the queen's heart trembled slightly: "Your Majesty, please say that if the concubine knows, she will definitely know everything." ”

"The affairs of the previous dynasty have never been allowed to be talked about in the harem. What's more, after that morning, the matter reached Mayana. That palace maid is just an ordinary palace person, why can she be so clear about the things that have been going on in the early days?"

The queen lowered her eyes and pursed her lips slightly: "It seems that the harem of the concubine is indeed not well managed, and there are still people in the harem who talk about the affairs of the early dynasty, and the concubine is guilty." ”

"The queen thinks that someone wants Maya to die, and then she can arrange for this palace maid to tell Maya these things through her mouth and force her to die?"

The queen raised her head suddenly, with a look of surprise: "This, how can this be? After this concubine Yagui entered the palace, she has always been kind to others, how could someone be so ruthless that she would want her to die?"

"yes, I think it's weird, too. Maya is such a kind person, why would anyone want her to die?" The emperor stared at the queen's face, trying to see some flaws in her face, but it was always seamless.

But this kind of seamless is even more suspicious. Although there is no evidence, the emperor already has a judgment in his heart.

"Your Majesty, are you suspecting that this matter has anything to do with the concubine?" the queen twisted her eyebrows and put on a look of grievance, "The concubine has been by the emperor's side for so many years, when will there be a time when she can't tolerate people?"

The emperor didn't look over his head and didn't look at the queen: "I didn't say I doubted you." ”

"But that's what the emperor meant, the concubines are really wronged, seeing that so many concubines occupy so much of the emperor's time, the concubines can't say a word of complaint, and they have to comfort those concubines who haven't seen the emperor for many days. ”

As she spoke, the queen cried aggrievedly: "I didn't expect that in the emperor's heart, the concubine would be such a person, would be so cruel, and use her hands to harm a concubine who has no contradiction with the concubine." Concubine, it's so wronged. ”
