Chapter 142: Death of Incense and Jade
Concubine Xi brushed her sleeves, and Yi Yi immediately took someone to follow and went to Chuxiu Palace together.
Chuxiu Palace, Slow Blessing Palace.
When Concubine Xi and Concubine Ning and the others arrived, the scene in front of them couldn't help but surprise them.
Wang promised to lie motionless on the couch, her delicate face was not half angry, she seemed to be asleep, but after calling her for a long time, she didn't see any reaction from her, until Yi Wei stepped forward to inspect it, only to find that Wang promised to have committed suicide.
Concubine Ning stepped forward and repeatedly probed Wang's breath, very shocked, "She, how could she die?" ”
Yi Wei picked up the empty medicine bottle on the ground and sniffed it, "It is estimated that Wang promised to die after eating the poison here." ”
Concubine Ning blamed herself, she only sent someone to watch the gate of Chuxiu Palace, so as not to let Wang promise to escape, but she never thought that Wang promised to choose to commit suicide, so that the hope of being able to save the cuttlefish became slim.
Wang promised's lips were slightly purple, and her face was also very ugly, it looked like she had died of poisoning, it was reasonable for her to choose to commit suicide, after all, she committed the crime of killing the king, and she would definitely end up in a dismal end after being discovered.
But now that Wang promised to be dead, how can he prove that the cuttlefish is innocent?
Concubine Xi looked at the corpse on the couch, covered her nose in disgust, and withdrew from the Slow Blessing Palace, she would not care about the life or death of a concubine, on the contrary, the death promised by Wang saved her a lot of trouble, and she was very satisfied with this result.
"Now that no one is there, how can you let this palace check?" Concubine Xi was a little proud.
Concubine Ning's face was pale, and she felt bad in her heart, "She committed suicide in fear of sin, if she wasn't guilty, how could she die willingly?" ”
Wang promised to be young, but she ruined her life because of hatred, Concubine Ning will inevitably feel sorry for her, but Wang promised to commit suicide for a hundred, but it left them with endless trouble.
Concubine Xi raised her eyebrows and asked. "How do you know that she is willing to die and not forced by you?" Maybe you wanted to use Wang's promise to atone for the crime, so you killed her. ”
"Concubine Xi, don't talk nonsense!" Concubine Ning was extremely angry. "We just want to find out the truth, how can we harm people!" ”
Concubine Xi's eyes were cold, "Anyway, Wang promised that he couldn't speak, so don't break the dirty water on her body, if you can come up with evidence to excuse Concubine Qian." This palace is willing to appreciate your face and accompany you, if not, you will not come to disturb this palace! ”
After that, she turned around and left, out of Chuxiu Palace, Wang's promised death caused a situation where there is no proof of death now, and Concubine Xi has made up her mind to condemn the cuttlefish.
Ruyi was unwilling, and he had to catch up and beg Concubine Xi. was stopped by Concubine Ning.
"Can't you see it, Concubine Xi is bent on putting this charge on Concubine Qian's head, it's useless for you to go to her to plead, Concubine Xi is so hard-hearted, you don't have to do useless work anymore."
Ruyi's heart was pinched, "Is there no other way to save the master?" ”
Concubine Ning calmed down, thought about it and thought, "The only one who can suppress Concubine Xi is the emperor, why don't you go to the Heart Cultivation Palace to see how the emperor's situation is." As long as the emperor wakes up, everything will be easy. ”
So far, I can only ask God to bless the emperor and bless the emperor safe and sound.
On the way to the Heart Cultivation Temple. Concubine Ning and Ruyi met Zhang Hai who was in a hurry, Zhang Hai stopped outside the gate of Xianfu Palace and stretched out his head to look inside. As agreed, he called out.
Father-in-law Zhang turned around and saw that it was Ruyi, hurried over and asked. "Ruyi girl, I heard that something happened to Concubine Qian, what is the situation now, is Niangniang okay?" By the way, I have already inquired about the things that Concubine Qian sent me to inquire about last time. ”
If he still knew that he was thinking about his master, he couldn't help but be a little moved, and stopped and asked, "Is it a matter of Shoulu, what did my father-in-law hear?" ”
Concubine Ning was suspicious, "Who is Shoulu?" ”
Zhang Hai hurriedly saluted Concubine Ning, "Back to Niangniang's words, Shoulu is a palace person who Concubine Qian asked the slave to inquire, he is on an errand in the Internal Affairs Office, and the old slave has already inquired about his origins. ”
Concubine Ning didn't know why the cuttlefish was so interested in the affairs of a eunuch, and after Ruyi explained the reason to her, she suddenly understood. It turns out that this eunuch named Shoulu has something to do with Wang Promise!
Then it also means that maybe Shoulu also participated in the plan to kill the emperor.
Concubine Ning thought for a moment, grabbed Gonggong Zhang's arm, and looked anxious, "Then tell me quickly, what is the origin of that Shoulu, but what's the problem?" ”
Gonggong Zhang looked at Concubine Ning in a daze, a little flustered, "Niangniang, don't worry, wait for the old slave to tell you slowly." He cleared his mind and replied, "As far as the old slave knows, that Shoulu is always a loner, introverted and looks like an honest man, but he used to be an errand in Prince Lian's mansion, and he is also a close person to Prince Lian, and the old slave always feels that he is not as simple as it seems on the surface. ”
It is related to Prince Lian Yunxi, how could there be such a coincidence, and I think this Shoulu has nothing to do with this matter.
Concubine Ning nodded and had an idea, "This Shoulu's origin is unknown, and he has an intersection with Wang Promise, so he must be strictly investigated!" Gonggong Zhang, can you take someone to arrest Shoulu, just say that he was ordered by the palace, and the Internal Affairs Office will definitely release him. ”
Wang promised to be able to enter the palace to murder the emperor, presumably it would not be alone, her nominal adoptive father Lord Wang tried his best to send her into the palace, and the eunuch Shoulu of the Internal Affairs Office was likely to be her internal response in the palace.
Otherwise, she made a small promise, where can she get oleander petals, and how can she have the poison used when she committed suicide.
Zhang Hai listened, and obediently agreed, "Since it is the mother's order, the old slave will do it, if he can help the concubine Qian Niangniang this time, the slave will definitely go and tie up Shoulu to prevent him from having a chance to escape." ”
Ruyi hurriedly thanked, "Father-in-law, this matter is very important, it is related to the safety of the master, and everything is up to Father-in-law." ”
Concubine Ning has some hope, although Wang promised that she could no longer speak, but fortunately, there is still a Shoulu, and things may have a turnaround.
After Gonggong Zhang left, Concubine Ning and Ruyi continued to go to the Palace of Heart Cultivation, and when they arrived at the Palace of Heart Cultivation, Concubine Ning heard the eunuch on the side whispering.
"It's been a long time since I saw Concubine Xi's shadow, so she didn't come to see the emperor?"
"No, I heard that she also sent Concubine Qian to the Zongren Mansion for interrogation."
Concubine Ning's face turned cold, thinking that when the emperor had not yet ascended the throne, Concubine Xi was the most concerned about the emperor's body in Prince Yong's mansion, and it was because of this that the emperor attached great importance to her.
But now, Concubine Xi has the power to hold what she wants, and she no longer cares about the emperor's pity, and even no longer cares about the emperor's safety.
At this time, there was an exclamation in the Xinuan Pavilion, "Your Majesty! Emperor! (To be continued.) )
