97. Interrogation

After finishing his errand in the cold palace, and when he went to the Qinzheng Palace in person to return to the king, Zhou Yu came to Yufu Palace non-stop.

Knowing that Chu Xue was inconvenient now, Zhou Yu didn't ask to see her, but only informed Yan Ling of Concubine Li's death, so he left with interest, Yan Ling was sure in her heart, and entered the hall to report the news to the master who had just woken up.

Solving a problem that is not in the climate, Chu Xue didn't say anything, just asked, "What about Fengyi Palace?" What did the emperor say? โ€

Yan Ling replied: "I heard that the emperor has gone to Fengyi Palace just now, the master can rest assured, the emperor has sent someone to check the Tai Hospital this morning, even if Qiu Gui bites to death, there is still the arrangement of Imperial Doctor Cheng in the Tai Hospital, this time, it will never be possible for her to escape again." โ€

Chu Xue closed her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief, was silent for a while, and then said, "Come and take the medicine." โ€

As if she had a heart in her heart, as soon as her words fell, Ruyue personally walked over with the medicine, came to the front and whispered: "Master, you have recovered well in the past few days, and you will be able to get out of bed in a few days...... After a pause, Ruyue still said: "As long as you take the medicine on time, you will soon have another child." โ€

Chu Xue didn't have any expression, took the medicine and drank it all, and then rinsed her mouth again, before saying, "Well, tell your senior brother to take care of the palace, preferably a boy." โ€

"Yes." Ruyue smiled slightly: "The slave remembers that the master has a prescription in the past, which can be adjusted, and the senior brother should know, don't worry, master, you will be able to get your wish." โ€

Without waiting for Chu Xue to say anything, Yan Ling opened her eyes and asked, "Can you tune?" And this kind of thing! Your master is amazing! โ€

Chu Xue finally showed a smile, and when her thoughts turned back, she explained to Yanling, "Ask Fugui to send someone to Fengyi Palace to have a look, and if there is any news, I will reply immediately." โ€

"Yes." Yanling immediately went out to act.

"Over there in the Tai Hospital, has your senior brother arranged it?" Chu Xue asked Ruyue.

Ruyue gave her a reassuring pill and said, "Master rest assured, everything is in order, as long as someone goes to investigate, it will definitely be able to find out." โ€

"Okay."

She nodded reassuringly, thought about it again, and finally decided to come down, and said to Ruyue: "Go find a plain dress first, and after a while, the palace may have to go over in person." โ€

Ruyue was startled, and hurriedly dissuaded, "Master, you shouldn't move around now......"

She sighed, frowned, and said: "That woman will not confess her guilt lightly, if the emperor can't find her flaws, it won't be easy to do, this palace will personally confront her to see how she can quibble." โ€

Ruyue also understands that this is the most critical moment, whether she can bring down Xu Jinhe depends on today, Chu Xue has a trip in the past, which is always beneficial to things.

Ruyue nodded and went to pick out clothes for her in person.

Looking at the bright sunshine outside the window, Chu Xue smiled slightly. Some people have closed their eyes, and some people are not much better.

~~

Fengyi Palace.

has been a housewife for more than ten years, and Xu Jinhe has tasted the taste of being grounded for the first time.

Although her mother is the world, when the person who spoke was the queen mother, she also had to obey her fate.

In the past, regardless of success or failure, she did a neat and unmarked return, but this time, she had to admit that the whole thing greatly exceeded her expectations.

In the past few days in the palace, she thought about the incident from beginning to end, and finally came to a terrible conclusion, from the beginning, it was not she who was calculating Chu Xue, but Chu Xue was calculating her, and now, she did fall into the trap set by Chu Xue.

Looking back now, I'm afraid that Chu Xue was embarrassed by Concubine Li at that time, and then mentioned Mama Li in front of her, she was already luring her into the bait, Chu Xue had always been respectful to herself outside, but she was deliberately provoking herself at that time, isn't this very suspicious?

It's a pity that she was carried away by anger at the time, and now she understands it, but it's too late.

No, it's not too late!

Xu Jinhe forcibly comforted himself. The perpetrator is Concubine Li, this is a fact in plain sight, and Concubine Li's accusations, Qiu Gui has already borne all of them, she firmly believes that Qiu Gui will not confess herself, that is a loyal servant who has been with her since childhood, absolutely trustworthy......

Xu Jinhe was trying her best to comfort herself in her heart, and a sudden loud message from outside the door knocked her back to reality.

Song Chen is here.

Although he knew that he would come sooner or later, it had only been a few days, and Yuan Xi had not yet arrived, so he would come back so soon? This really surprised her.

It wasn't until she saw the man clearly appear in front of her that she finally believed it, and then she couldn't help but feel uneasy.

He must have come here to question himself.

After the people in Fengyi Palace had made a big ceremony, Song Chen asked, "I heard that you are sick, I came over to take a look, how have you been cultivating in the past few days?" โ€

Although it was a caring word, when he said it without affection, Xu Jinhe only felt cold.

"Concubine Xie Emperor's care, it's almost better." She looked gentle and respectful, but in her heart she was trying to think about what to do if he brought it up later.

Sure enough, Song Chen immediately asked: "Since this is the case, then I want to ask you about Concubine Yi's miscarriage, the Queen Mother and I were not in the palace at that time, you are the master of the harem, how can you allow such a big thing to happen in the palace?" โ€

Xu Jinhe had already made preparations, and only pretended to be innocent at the moment: "Back to the emperor, the concubine was ill at that time, and she had been resting for a few days, and the concubine originally thought that Concubine Yi had power in her hands and should be fine, but she didn't expect that Concubine Li was so arrogant that she dared to take medicine to harm the prince......"

"I've heard these words, but now I still don't know anything, how do you know that Concubine Yi is pregnant?"

Song Chen interrupted her without showing joy and asked with a staring eye at her.

Xu Jinhe was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and hurriedly quibbled: "No, the emperor, you misunderstood, the concubine never knew that Concubine Yi was pregnant, Concubine Yi was closed for many days, and the concubine only thought that she was unwell, and she also cared about whether she had been seen by the imperial doctor, but the concubine never thought about it." โ€

Knowing that she would shirk it, Song Chen didn't continue to ask, but turned to say: "I heard that Qiu Gui secretly instructed Concubine Li to use medicine, Qiu Gui has been by your side for so long, I always thought she was calm, why is her mind so vicious?" โ€

Hearing this, Xu Jinhe hurriedly knelt down and said: "The concubine knows that this matter is Qiu Gui's fault, she is the concubine's person, this time she made a mistake, the concubine is also responsible, the concubine has no way to discipline her, and she is willing to be punished." โ€

Xu Jinhe thinks that this step is very good, as long as he insists that he doesn't know, everything is Qiu Gui's decision, then he will be guilty of having no way to discipline at most, if it is just that there is no way to discipline, Song Chen can only give a painless punishment, just like now, although she can only stay in Fengyi Palace for the time being, the right is still hers, and the status of the queen is still there.

It's a pity that although her excuse is good, it is difficult to say whether Song Chen believes it or not.

Song Chen stared at her for a while, and said, "Qiu Gui is so vicious, it can't be kept, I miss your master and servant, and I specially allow you to see her for the last time." Yu Bao raised his hand, and Liangxi immediately glanced at the people around him.

After a while, I saw two or three little eunuchs dragging a person up and putting him in front of Xu Jinhe.

Xu Jinhe and the people in the palace of Fengyi Palace couldn't help but be shocked when they saw people clearly.

The one who was lying on the ground with his cloak and dying was none other than Qiu Gui.

The palace people of Fengyi Palace clearly remember that as the head of the queen's subordinates and the most trusted loyal servant of the master, Qiu Gui used to be so proud, that all day long with a commanding appearance is almost equal to half of the master, but now the person lying on the ground is full of blood and thin wood, as if he has just been tortured by the devil, where can he still find the appearance of Qiu Gui in the past.

Qiu Gui was indeed tortured, isn't the torture room of the inner court prison hell?

The already timid palace people began to weaken their legs, and even Ding Xiang, another loyal servant of Xu Jinhe, was trembling slightly.

This is the partner who got along day and night in the past, they entered the Peiguo Mansion together since they were children, and grew up with Xu Jinhe together, they haven't seen each other for just a few days, this person who is like a sister has become like this, how can she be indifferent?

Seeing the disgraced expressions of everyone in Fengyi Palace, Song Chen's eyes were even colder, and he asked lightly, "Does the queen have anything else to say to her?" โ€

Xu Jinhe came back to his senses from fear when he heard this, forced himself to make up his mind, and then said categorically: "This girl is vicious and bold, concubine, I have nothing to say to her." She...... Deserve! โ€

When the words landed, I saw the unbearable body on the ground trembling slightly, and the messy hair and blood covered her face, and people couldn't see her expression, but her good sister Lilac, her heart suddenly stabbed fiercely.

Xu Jinhe said this, but the chill in Song Chen's eyes was deeper, he raised his hand, and someone immediately dragged Qiu Gui away.

Without waiting for the people in the hall to say anything, another person suddenly arrived, it was Xing Feng, who had been sent to the Tai Hospital before. Xing Feng was in a hurry, and after saluting Song Chen, he leaned into his ear and whispered a few words, and saw Song Chen's face suddenly condensed, and he took a few steps and sat down on the couch.

Xu Jinhe's heart tightened, and he faintly felt that it was not good.

Song Chen stared at her tightly and asked in a cold voice, "The matter has come to this point, do you still want to hide it from me?" If it weren't for your instructions, Zhang Yutian would have prescribed that abortion pill and handed it over to Qiu Gui? Don't say that Qiu Gui did it from you again, Zhang Yutian is the deputy envoy of the Tai Hospital, and will obediently obey the orders of a palace maid? โ€

Without allowing anyone to breathe, he suddenly screamed and said angrily: "Zhang Yutian has already been recruited, how long do you have to quibble?" โ€

Xu Jinhe's breath stagnated in an instant.

Zhang Yu added a move? Is this dog minion really recruited?

No wonder Xing Feng came over suddenly, she knew the methods of these guards, maybe Zhang Yutian really recruited it, if he hadn't confessed, why would Song Chen question it like this?

His mind quickly turned a corner, Xu Jinhe hurriedly knelt in front of Song Chen, and changed his words: "Please forgive the emperor, the concubine just lost her words, the concubine did know that Yi Guifei was pregnant, but, but the concubine didn't know that it was the emperor's child, the emperor had never been to Yufu Palace before the expedition, after you left, Yi Guifei was pregnant, the concubine asked the queen mother, but the queen mother did not explain it to the concubine, so the concubine thought that it was Yi Guifei who did something unseemly and was pregnant with a son, and the concubine thought about it again and again, in order to save the emperor's face, she ......"

"That's why you asked Zhang Yutian to prescribe that โ–กโ–ก, to take the lives of Concubine Yi's mother and son, and let Concubine Li act on your behalf?" Song Chen asked with a strong suppression of anger.

"No, it's not." Xu Jinhe shook his head again and again, and said: "The concubine only said that she wanted an ordinary abortion pill, and she didn't want to kill Concubine Yi, it must be Zhang Yutian who was in a hurry to make meritorious contributions, so he put the medicine down." โ€

Xu Jinhe looked at Song Chen with tears in his eyes, and said eagerly: "Your Majesty, the concubine didn't know that the child was yours at the time, you have been cold to Concubine Yi for so long, and no one in the palace told the concubine, the concubine was thinking about you at the time, and the queen mother was not in the palace, so she made a decision privately." The concubine was so sick at the time that she could barely get out of bed, and Concubine Li volunteered again, and the concubine allowed ......"

"Your Majesty, those who don't know are not guilty, please read that the concubine didn't know at the time, just forgive the concubine for a while! The concubine has been married to you for many years, you know, the concubine is not a vicious person, she has always regarded the emperor's child as a child, if the concubine knows, how can she harm that child? โ€

She burst into tears, as if she was really a wife who was wholeheartedly thinking about her husband, but the grievances that Chu Xue had suffered in the past accumulated one by one, and Song Chen no longer believed in her at this time.

Song Chen sneered and asked, "No one in the palace told you?" Since no one told you that you are the harem housewife, why don't you ask the people of Yufu Palace? You didn't even give Cher a chance to defend herself, and you were going to take her child? โ€

Xu Jinhe hurriedly responded and said, "This matter is indeed a dereliction of duty on the part of the concubine, but it can be ......."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the sound of communication outside the temple gate.

Chu Xue is here.
