() Nie Linyu followed Princess Nie to the harem, and under the leadership of the eunuch, she went straight to the Yuzhao Palace where Concubine Zhao lived, although she had already been mentally prepared, but when she smelled the strong bloody breath that could not be covered, she couldn't help but change her face.

Concubine Zhao was lying on her back on the bed, her face was like gold paper, her eyes were closed, she didn't know whether she was dead or alive, there was a large blood stain under her body, spreading and meandering, several imperial doctors knelt on the ground and trembled, kept kowtowing but couldn't speak, the emperor sat on the Taishi chair and looked blue, and the queen stood aside, with a little dazed and sad expression.

None of the concubines who came with me before were gone, and they didn't know where they were.

The imperial concubine, who had not appeared for a long time, sat on the soft collapse, holding a huge belly that was about to give birth in one hand, her face was tired, the corners of her eyebrows and eyes, but she tried her best to hide her pride, for fear of being seen by the emperor, she pretended to be sad and lowered her head, and took a handkerchief to wipe the tears that did not exist.

"Sister Concubine Zhao is really pitiful, the concubine is still looking forward to the two of us having a child together, and the children have a playmate of the same age, but they don't want to ......"

"Alas" sighed deeply, looking extremely sad.

The emperor slapped the armrest of the seat violently, everyone was frightened, and the emperor pointed to the queen, "You explain!" ”

The queen glanced at the imperial concubine resentfully, and the imperial concubine keenly caught it, "Queen Mother, what are you looking at the concubine, the concubine has been staying in her own palace to raise the baby, and she doesn't know anything." ”

The emperor said angrily: "Don't look at others, you just say what's going on, Concubine Zhao's baby, you ask to take care of it, the top and bottom of the Yuzhao Palace have long been replaced by your people, but now it is such a result, what do you say?" ”

The queen was also stubborn, "If the emperor must ask, the concubine can only say three words, I don't know." ”

The Emperor became more and more annoyed, "You don't know? You wouldn't know? ”

"The concubine took care of Concubine Zhao, it was a good intention, the concubine has been ill for all these years, and the first child in the palace has not been born, since the concubine has recovered, she should also take on the duties of the queen, and take care of the pregnant concubine, it was the concubine's internal affairs, how could she have an accident? If the concubine made up her mind to take the child's life and Concubine Zhao's life, why bother to take care of herself, isn't this a living opportunity for others to take advantage of? ”

Don't look at the fact that the queen is usually squeezed by the imperial concubine and can't get off the stage, this remark at the critical moment is really polite and festive.

The most important thing is that she also faintly accused the imperial concubine, the queen has been ill for a few years, it is the past few years that Lin Yuehua has been on the throne, and there are no children in the palace, which is her problem.

The imperial concubine heard it and wanted to open her mouth to defend herself, but she did use some means, although she dealt with it afterwards, but what she did will always leave traces, at this time the emperor is angry, if she wants to investigate thoroughly, she dare not guarantee that she will not find out.

After thinking about it, I had to keep silent for the first time.

The emperor also knew in his heart that the matter of Concubine Zhao was possible for anyone, but the queen was impossible, in fact, he knew very well the queen's thoughts, it was nothing more than that he had no hope of giving birth, so he wanted to hug one.

The emperor is also happy to see it, after all, the identity of the queen is there, if she raises Concubine Zhao's child, this child will become a concubine, and she is the only concubine in this dynasty.

He is old, although the establishment of a prince is imminent, he does not want to have a strong prince, always staring at the power in his hands, always longing for inheritance, he wants a young prince, the kind that does not pose any threat to himself.

The courtiers don't understand this thought, his adult sons don't understand, and the only one who understands a few points is probably the queen.

That's why she had been in love with Lao Qi for a few days, and when she turned her head, she fell in love with this one in Concubine Zhao's belly.

Nie Linyu watched coldly, this matter made it clear that the queen did not notice it for a while, and was exploited by the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine waited for this opportunity for I don't know how long, although it is not enough to start now, but she can't wait, and if she waits, the child will be born.

It is much more difficult to kill a little prince than to kill a fetus.

Nie Linyu just didn't understand, why did the imperial concubine do such a detrimental thing, Concubine Zhao's child is just a son, a milk baby, and she can't do anything, but the imperial concubine herself has an adult son who is taking the heir, and she still has one in her belly.

What else is she not content with?

Remembering the words I heard in the side hall, yes, it must be for the queen's seat,

If the imperial concubine wants to ascend the throne, she must bring down the queen, and the queen has the queen mother's last words as a talisman, unless she makes a big mistake that endangers the royal family, she will never be deposed.

The emperor has no favorite concubine and son, he must find someone to be angry, because he can't find it, so he is angry on the queen's head, and shouts: "It's because you don't care enough!" ”

"Your Majesty, why don't the concubines care, Concubine Zhao has already agreed to let the concubines raise this child!"

The imperial concubine's eyes flashed, "Of course the queen is attentive, it is a good way to go to the mother and keep the child, but unfortunately, people are not as good as the sky." What she said meant was that the queen wanted to kill Concubine Zhao and leave only the child, but there was a deviation in the actual operation, so that one corpse and two lives, Concubine Zhao and the child died.

Nie Linyu lowered his eyes, the imperial concubine's trick was used well, the emperor may not believe that the queen would kill the child, but he believed that she wanted to kill Concubine Zhao.

Sure enough, the emperor looked at the queen suspiciously, and the queen was shocked, and then she realized that she was irrefutable.

She knelt down, "Your Majesty, the sky can be seen from the sun and the moon, the concubine has never done this, the lord of Nanyang is smart and decisive, she solved the murder case in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing in the past, let her investigate, and it will definitely be investigated." ”

Only then did Nie Linyu understand why the eunuch suddenly went to announce his mother, originally asking her to investigate the case.

sighed silently in the bottom of his heart, Nie Linyu secretly thought that the queen was really whimsical, could it be beneficial for her to check it herself? There are people in the palace, but there is really no clan, although he bears the name of the county lord, but in the end he is a foreign surname.

The queen was still begging, "Your Majesty, please ask the emperor to agree and let the county lord of Nanyang investigate the case." ”

Nie Linyu didn't want to take this hot potato, "Niangniang, Nanyang is only afraid that she doesn't have this ability, and please don't embarrass Nanyang." ”

Princess Nie also said: "Your Majesty, the queen, the imperial concubine, my own daughter, I know in my heart that she really doesn't have this ability, the last time there was a camp in the suburbs of Beijing, many clues were told by her brother." ”

In this way, the queen has nothing to say, and she can't let Nie Chenlin come to the harem to investigate the case.

Nie Linyu thought about it and felt that for the sake of today's plan, he had to try to keep the queen first.
