Chapter 167: Punishment

"The queen mother is aware that although these minions are in our palace, we have never ordered them to do such a thing, and we almost don't pay much attention to these minions, saying that they are in our palace, but anyone can buy them." Several concubines hurriedly explained.

"Tell me, who told you to do such evil things?" The queen asked.

"Returning to the queen's mother, the slaves are obsessed with money, and they were bought by Zheng Meiren, and they did such a wrong thing, I hope that the queen's mother will be kind and light, and the slaves are grateful." Several people also know that it is useless to bite now, after all, they have confessed before, and now the counter-confession may be even more disgusting to the emperor, and there is really no way to live.

As soon as Zheng Meiren heard this, she knew that she was going to suffer, but she didn't expect these people to recruit her out at once, it was really useless, but at this time, Zheng Meiren knew that she couldn't panic, otherwise she would be convicted, then she really didn't have the day to turn over.

"The queen mother is clear, this matter was not done by the concubines, these slaves must have been instructed by someone to slander the concubines, and I hope that the mothers will see that the concubines will be fair." Zheng Meiren refused to admit it, after all, looking at the emperor's angry appearance, if this crime is confirmed, I am afraid that there will be no good life.

"This palace will deal with it impartially, you guys, you must know that slander is a serious crime, you said that Zheng Meiren instructed you, so do you have any evidence?" The queen said.

"There is Zheng Meiren in the slave's residence who bought our property, and it was the palace maid Xiao Lu next to Zheng Meiren who contacted us, Xiao Lu and the slave are fellow villagers, otherwise the slave would not believe her." One of the minions said.

"Come on, go and confiscate all the belongings of this minion's residence." The queen said.

"Yes, Queen." A few people were ordered to confiscate their belongings, and at this time Zheng Meiren was really anxious, after all, she took a lot of property to buy a few people, and Xiaolu also went to contact them, although when she bought them, she noticed that they were all ordinary things. There is no mark, but for no reason, Zheng Meiren feels a little flustered.

But now she can't do anything but pretend to be calm. Full of hope to avoid this. Knowing this, why did she bother so much to deal with Chen Yu at the beginning, but now that the other party is fine, she is still on the verge of danger, this feeling is too uncomfortable.

Soon the raiders returned. Basically, it can be concluded that a few people were bought, but a few low-status people were excluded, after all, they didn't have the financial resources, and these jewelry were not available to their grades, although there was no mark, but obviously the scope of the suspects was narrowed, and Zheng Meiren's suspicion was the highest.

Because it involved Xiao Lu next to Zheng Meiren, the queen sent someone to interrogate alone, and naturally the palace maid was interrogated, because Zheng Meiren hinted that she would not admit it. Midori didn't confess anything. The queen has obtained too little information, and she can't draw conclusions without evidence, so she said: "Now Zheng Meiren is the most suspicious, but the evidence is insufficient, and the palace is not easy to draw conclusions, I don't know if the emperor has any good mentions." ”

"Where is there such a trouble, ask all the minions of Yunyan Pavilion, if there are any clues, you can also ask them, and the palace maids and eunuchs of other palaces will also be interrogated. No murderer can be spared. Nangong Jue said.

Because of the emperor's support, the queen let it go, but it also takes time to summarize the news, and it seems that the time is too late. The queen asked everyone to go back, and the results of the inquiry will be announced in a few days.

After several investigations by the queen's people, the truth surfaced, and even if Zheng Meiren refused to admit her crime, she still couldn't avoid being punished. In order to show punishment, Nangong Jue sent Zheng Meiren into the cold palace. Zheng Meiren can be regarded as the first among the emperor's concubines to enter the cold palace, and she was also the first to enter after the cold palace was rebuilt.

The news of the harem spread quickly, not to mention that the emperor called people over a few days ago, everyone still remembers it vividly, and now that there is a result, everyone naturally has a lot of discussions.

Although only Zheng Meiren was punished this time, Nangong never forgot about the other concubines who had not yet had time to do it, and these people were afraid that they would have a hard time in the future. Although there is nothing to do this time, it is remembered by the emperor, and the days to come will be long.

This time the matter is over, although it disposes of a beauty, but it has left a strong mark in the harem, after all, this is the first time that the emperor has punished the harem concubines, of course, it can also be seen that the emperor cares about Chen Yu, which makes several high-ranking concubines also have a sense of coercion.

But these people don't have to worry about it, after all, Chen Yu doesn't want to be the emperor's concubine at all, so he won't snatch the emperor's favor with them.

After the emperor's interrogation, he came to the main hall of Yilan Palace, and saw that Chen Yu was coming, at this time Chen Yu had already "woken up", and Chen Yu couldn't say anything about Nangong Jue's concern, although he couldn't escape this time, it didn't mean that Chen Yu had given up.

"The slave and maid thank the emperor for saving his life, but if it is not too early today, I will go back, so as not to worry that my mother will not find me." Chen Yu said.

"You don't have to worry about this, I have already sent someone to sue Chen Meiren, you have a good rest and take medicine well, so as not to fall into any disease." Nangong Jue said.

Of course, Nangong Jue also saw that Chen Yu was a little afraid and afraid, of course, this was pretended by Chen Yu, and thought of the relationship between Chen Meiren and Chen Yu that Li Decai said was sisters, so he said: "You have a good rest, Chen Meiren will come to see you tomorrow." ”

At this time, it is at the beginning of the outbreak of war, Nangong Jue has a lot of things, so he can't always spend it here in Chen Yu, these days in order to find Chen Yu, a lot of effort has been delayed, now that people are here, they are not afraid of people running away, Nangong Jue naturally has to deal with affairs.

Of course, this is also why Nangong Jue cares more about Chen Yu like this, otherwise if she is a different woman, she will be taken by the emperor, but she will not care whether the other party is willing or not, she will be spoiled directly, Chen Yu is very lucky, otherwise Nangong Jue really cares about it, Chen Yu will fall into a passive situation.

Of course, the current situation is not very good, for a while, Chen Yu didn't think of any good way to get out, but Nangong was unlikely to put Chen Yu aside, so there was not much time left for Chen Yu. (To be continued.) )
