Chapter Eighty-Seven: Asking Your Majesty to be the master of the concubines
When Shen Yunqing followed Gu Jinghuai back to Yichun Palace, Yichun Palace was already full of people, Emperor Wei, Concubine Xian, Taiwei and Mrs. Taiwei.
There are also a few palace maids pretending to be the ghost of Concubine Xian, all kneeling on the ground, reporting the situation they saw pretending to be the ghost of Concubine Xian.
Seeing Gu Jinghuai come in, Emperor Wei raised his eyes and glanced at Gu Jinghuai, and didn't care too much about where he went during this time, only said, "Gu Aiqing, sit down." ”
"Yes. ”
Gu Jinghuai sat down on the first empty chair at the bottom, Shen Yunqing lowered his head, and stood still behind Gu Jinghuai.
At that time, the queen seemed to have guessed that the virtuous concubine had not had an accident, and insisted that the slave maid was pretending, saying that the slave maid was pretending to be a ghost. Although he was a little nervous, he was still calm, and he kept saying, "She didn't understand what I said." No matter how much the slaves tried to scare her, it was to no avail. ”
"Hmm. Emperor Wei tightened his face and nodded silently.
The virtuous concubine on the side smiled, she woke up, her body was still a little weak, and her voice was a little light, but it was also very clear: "The queen is really worthy of being the lord of the six palaces, she is not afraid of ghosts and gods, and she is not chaotic in danger, but it is very worthy of learning from the concubines." ”
Emperor Wei's gaze swept over the pale-faced Taiwei and Mrs. Taiwei, pursed his lips, and did not make a sound.
"Where is the fifth princess?"
"Where are the five princesses...... "A palace maid stepped forward with two steps on her knees and answered: "The fifth princess is younger, when the slave and maid appeared, the fifth princess seemed to be frightened, and screamed in shock, saying that she didn't know anything, saying that who killed the virtuous concubine Niangniang, who the virtuous concubine Niangniang went to." ”
"Oh?" Concubine Xian smiled again: "Then who killed the main palace?"
At that time, the fifth princess hurriedly confessed, and only kept saying, saying that it was none of her business, and said that it was the seventh prince who picked the bouquet and changed the toxicity of Concubine Xian, so that Concubine Xian Niangniang died in Huangquan, and this matter had nothing to do with her, so let Concubine Xian Niangniang not look for her. ”
Taiwei's face suddenly became ugly: "If she doesn't know anything, how can she know that Concubine Xian Niangniang is because she smelled the bouquet sent by the Seventh Prince, which caused the toxicity to change?"
"Yes......" The palace maid lowered her head: "The slave maid also asked the same question, but after the slave maid asked this question, the fifth princess seemed to react, and quickly covered her mouth and said that she didn't know." ”
The slave wanted to continue asking, but the fifth princess suddenly fainted. The slave tried to touch the face of the fifth princess with her hand, but she didn't react at all, she should have really fainted with fright. ”
Then the slave maid looked at the palace maids in the Frost White Palace on the side, a palace maid was frightened, and hurriedly shouted, it was the fifth princess who taught the six princes, and when the seventh prince passed by the royal garden lake, he said to the seventh prince that he picked flowers to give to the queen mother, and the queen mother saw the flowers, and knew that he missed her. ”
Emperor Wei's face suddenly turned cold, and he only gritted his teeth and said, "What about the palace maid?"
After the maid shouted, the other maid reprimanded her, and she seemed to know that she had said the wrong thing, and she reacted and ran away quickly. I don't know where I ran to, but there were so many people looking at the slave and the maid, and the slave and the maid had no way to chase them. ”
Later, when the slave maid left the Frost White Palace and called the guards to search, there was no trace of the palace maid. ”
"However, the commander of the guards has already surrounded the entire Frost White Palace, keeping everyone under guard. ”
Emperor Wei pursed his lips: "Check, a palace maid, I don't believe it, where else can she run." ”
"Yes. ”
After Emperor Wei finished speaking, Concubine Xian had already stood up with her weak body, and then knelt down in front of Emperor Wei.
Emperor Wei was stunned: "Concubine Xian, what are you doing? You just woke up, your body is still weak, what are you doing on your knees?"
"Your Majesty has also heard the reports of these palace maids, and what the truth is, Your Majesty may have already made a conclusion in his heart. The concubine really walked away in the ghost gate, and almost separated from His Majesty's Yin and Yang, and finally picked up a life, the concubine just wanted to ask His Majesty to make the decision for the concubine and seek justice for the concubine. ”
Emperor Wei's forehead was beating suddenly, and he didn't make a sound.
On the side, the captain and his wife also knelt down: "Your Majesty, Weichen has been loyal to Your Majesty in the court for so many years. My Yang family has been loyal ministers for hundreds of years, and it was because of his trust in His Majesty that Weichen sent his daughter to the palace. ”
"For so many years, Wechen has always trusted and respected Your Majesty, and now that something like this has happened, Wechen is sad, but he still believes that His Majesty is fair and strict, and he will definitely seek justice for Concubine Xian......"
Emperor Wei pursed his lips tightly, and his heart was extremely irritable: "Don't worry, in this matter, as long as I find evidence and find the real murderer, I will definitely punish him severely and give Concubine Xian justice." ”
Emperor Wei stood up: "Has the imperial doctor gone to the Frost White Palace? The fifth princess has woken up? Go and bring the five princesses over! Search the Frost White Palace again, interrogate the palace people in the Frost White Palace, and find the palace maid from before." ”
"Yes!"
Shen Wanbai has not yet been brought over, but there is also news from the Frost White Palace: "The palace people in the Frost White Palace have already asked, and those palace people said that the palace maid who spoke before was named Gillian and was waiting in the main hall of the Frost White Palace before, and a few days ago because of her outstanding performance, she was favored by the fifth princess and promoted to her side, and became the personal palace maid of the fifth princess." ”
The fifth princess also seems to like that Gillian very much, and she has mostly taken it with her these days. ”
However, the subordinates carefully searched all over the Frost White Palace, and did not find the palace maid named Gillian. ”
Emperor Wei's eyes were even colder: "Continue to investigate, can a big living person still disappear out of thin air inexplicably?"
Concubine Xian coughed lightly and frowned slightly: "It shouldn't disappear out of thin air, but it is possible to be dealt with." The palace maid said something that shouldn't be said, and the concubine was worried that she was killed and killed. ”
Emperor Wei's hand holding the armrest of the chair slammed suddenly, and he didn't make a sound for a long time.
"Then continue to investigate, whether it is dead or alive, it should still be in this palace. All parts of the palace were carefully investigated, and in the wells and lakes, they were all salvaged, and they were all salvaged to see people alive and corpses to be seen when they died. ”
As soon as Emperor Wei's words fell, he heard the sound of the palace people outside.
"Your Majesty, the fifth princess has brought it here. ”
"Bring it in. ”
Shen Wanbai had already woken up, and he walked in by himself, but his face was still a little pale and his expression was a little trance.
As soon as he entered the door and saw Emperor Wei, he walked to Emperor Wei and knelt down, and then burst into tears: "Father, not a daughter...... My daughter was wronged......"
