Originally, it was to celebrate Xiao Zheng and Xu Han's new marriage, but instead, he was killed, and even his favorite concubine was involved.

Now things are going in a good direction step by step, as an example, Yu Guifei has checked it in the palace, and the guests who came to the banquet today, as well as the servants who brought it, have also been checked.

The other concubines had already checked out in the palace when they saw Concubine Yu, and the emperor basically did not refute what Xiao Zheng and Xu Han said, and such an attitude was to support Xiao Zheng and Xu Han in disguise.

After receiving the news, the concubines of each palace also gathered the palace people below and let the Praetorian Guards inspect them one by one.

There are not many concubines in the palace, and the progress is very fast, and the last one is in Concubine Hui's palace.

Concubine Hui, as one of the four concubines, is in charge of a palace, and the number of palace attendants below is naturally quite a lot.

Just when the people in Concubine Hui's palace were concentrated, the imperial doctor who went to check the cause of death of the palace people came over.

The emperor asked him,

"How?"

The Imperial Physician replied,

"That palace man did not take any poison, the minister checked it, and died of a sudden heart attack."

The emperor's face was gloomy, and his chest was even more congested.

Xu Han and Xiao Zheng were also slightly surprised.

Originally, they all thought that this was the gesture of the people behind the scenes, just to make Princess Fengping's death even more confusing.

Now the people in that palace are not taking poison or anything, they just died suddenly because of heart disease.

After checking the roster, the Praetorian Guards came to report to the people in Concubine Hui's palace according to the roster,

"Back to Your Majesty, there are two hundred and sixty-eight people on the roster in Zhaoyang Palace, and only two hundred and sixty-seven people actually arrived, one less."

After the captain of the Praetorian Guard finished his report, everyone turned their eyes to Concubine Hui.

Concubine Hui could barely maintain a calm face and asked,

"How could there be one less? Biwan, go see what's going on. ”

A palace maid who was silent, standing behind Concubine Hui, got the order and hurriedly followed the Praetorian Guard to Concubine Hui's Zhaoyang Palace.

There was a suffocating silence outside the entire hall, and everyone kept speculating in their hearts, was this young person in Concubine Hui's palace the murderer?

If so, does it have anything to do with Concubine Hui?

Just when everyone is speculating in their hearts.

Suddenly, a palace man knelt down and said timidly,

"Back to Your Majesty, slave maid...... The slave knew who was missing. ”

"Who?"

The Emperor asked calmly.

Everyone's eyes were focused on this palace man.

Some people also set their sights back on Concubine Hui.

Concubine Hui unconsciously twisted the handkerchief in her hand, gritted her teeth and asked, "Bijin, do you know what you are talking about?" ”

Just now, Concubine Hui called Bi Wan, the personal palace person next to her, and the palace person who came out to report was called Bi Jin, and when she heard it, she knew that this was from Concubine Hui's palace.

can be ranked with the same name as the personal palace people around Concubine Hui, and it should also be a more important palace person in Zhaoyang Palace.

The emperor glanced at Concubine Hui and saw that her tone was not good, and his heart suddenly became even more disturbed, "She hasn't said it yet, Concubine Ai knows what she wants to say?" Why don't you let her finish talking? ”

Although the emperor's tone seemed to be very calm, if you listen carefully, you can also hear some cold taste.

Concubine Hui never expected that if she was so good, trouble would come up, and she was sure that there was no mistake in what she had done.

But now, not only are the people gone, but the palace people around them are all anti-water.

The mother-in-law was given to her by Xu Gelao, but the arrangements behind her were all arranged by her, and they had already been disposed of just now.

Holding back the anger churning in her heart, she asked,

"Then you say, do you know who is missing?"

The people of the palace knelt on the bluestone slabs and prostrated,

"The slave maid is the big palace maid next to Hui Niangniang in Zhaoyang Palace, not long after the banquet, Niangniang asked the slave and maid to go back to the palace to get something, and the slave and maid saw that there was a eunuch sneaky."

"It's the eunuch in charge of Xu Meiren's palace."

Xu Meiren?

The emperor was at a loss.

He is not very keen on women, except for Concubine Yu, the others are going back and forth with the concubines in a few hidden mansions.

Seeing that the emperor was at a loss, Concubine Yu, who was sitting beside him with low eyebrows, reminded intimately,

"Your Majesty, Xu Meiren has been in the palace for several years, and now she lives in the side hall of Zhaoyang Palace."

According to the ancestral system, only concubines above Zhaoyi can live in a palace alone, and below Zhaoyi can only live in the side hall and be attached to other concubines.

Let's just say, it has been dealt with, why did there be a mistake in something that was not flawed.

Hearing that it was Xu Meiren's people who disappeared, Concubine Hui was inexplicably relieved.

But I still said bad luck in my heart.

Xu Meiren was assigned to live in her Zhaoyang Palace as usual, and she usually didn't feel sorry for her.

Since it was Xu Meiren, the emperor frowned,

"Where is Xu Meiren?"

Thinking of the people present were some of the parties present, and the others were either in the palaces or in the Xinyang Hall now.

The Emperor frowned again.

A female officer who had just been called for questioning stepped forward to reply,

"Back to Your Majesty, Xu Meiren took leave today because she was unwell."

Concubine Yu attached to the emperor's ear and said,

"Xu Meiren's health has not been very good since she entered the palace, and she often feels uncomfortable."

The emperor was a little annoyed in his heart, since he was not in good health, why was he elected to the palace at that time?

Speaking of which, how many years has he not been drafted? This Xu beauty is not in good health, can she still be a beauty?

Sick beauty?

He doesn't like this either.

The emperor was very sure that he must not have been fortunate with this Xu beauty.

The emperor's brows became tighter and tighter, and his mood was inexplicably heavy.

"Is it only Xu Meiren who is not there?"

The female officer bowed her head, "Exactly." ”

There is no news from other places, which means that now the suspicions are focused on Xu Meiren under Concubine Hui's Zhaoyang Palace.

"Then go to Zhaoyang Palace."

The emperor said in a deep voice, his eyes swept over everyone in the hall.

At this time, the most uncomfortable was Concubine Hui, but I didn't expect the emperor to say that he was going to Zhaoyang Palace.

The emperor stood up and turned around to help Concubine Yu up, which can be said to be very considerate.

In general, only the queen can get such treatment.

This is enough to see what the status of Concubine Yu in the emperor's heart is.

Concubine Yu pursed her lips and smiled at the emperor, obediently put her hand into the emperor's hand, and the two walked in front.

"Ah Zheng, you and Xu Aiqing will also follow."

Xiao Zheng and Xu Han sang and harmonized to solve the case, of course, they had to follow.

Xiao Zheng responded, just like the emperor did to Concubine Yu, and stretched out his hand towards Xu Han.

In front of everyone's eyes, Xu Han also generously put his hand into Xiao Zheng's hand, and the two of them first went to the eldest princess of Shuyang and said a few words.

The eldest princess of Shuyang nodded with a smile and let them go.

The two followed the emperor and Concubine Yu hand in hand to Zhaoyang Palace.

Everyone watched a few people leave, and it was not surprising that the emperor and Concubine Yu held hands, after all, Concubine Yu had been in the harem for more than 20 years, which was not surprising.

But why did the prince of Chengen and the little prince also hold hands like this?

Why are they seeing this?

Why do they see such harmony?

The crowd watched as they left.

Since Xu Meiren has never even been favored, she is the same as an invisible person in the palace, so she shouldn't have any friction with Princess Fengping.

The progress of the matter is actually very small now, the key witnesses are dead, and the other things to be investigated will not be found out in a short time.

Just now, Xiao Zheng swore that he could find out, but now it doesn't seem to be very good.

Everyone speculated here, and the emperor over there took a few people to Zhaoyang Palace.

In Zhaoyang Palace, the palace attendants have now dispersed, the palace door is wide open, and when they saw the emperor and Concubine Yu coming, they knelt on the ground.

Bi Wan, who had just been sent back by Concubine Hui, hurriedly stepped forward to report,

"Back to Your Majesty, the slave maid has already found out with the captain of the Praetorian Guard, it is the eunuch Qi Gonggong in charge of Xu Meiren's palace who is gone."

The emperor waved his hand and asked her to go down, "I already know, where is Xu Meiren?" ”

Concubine Hui really doesn't pay much attention to this Xu beauty on weekdays, as long as Concubine Yu is there, other new beauties don't want to be favored.

Since you can't be pampered, there's no harm in not getting benefits, so why pay more attention, it's already good not to bully.

She took the emperor and Concubine Yu to the side hall of Xu Meiren.

Because the emperor didn't allow it, no one reported it, only a palace person came out in a hurry, kneeling on the ground with a hasty face,

"The slave has seen Your Majesty and two maids."

"Where's you beauty?" Concubine Yu asked softly.

The palace man looked very clever, and choked up,

"Our beauty felt the wind and cold, and her body was weak, so she couldn't get up."

After all, it is the emperor himself, as long as there is still a breath, he should come to greet the emperor.

Concubine Yu raised her eyebrows, and Concubine Hui was even more angry in her heart, and immediately said,

"Since Xu Meiren has a cold, has she ever declared a doctor? Decoction of medicine to eat? ”

The palace man fell to the ground and argued,

"I announced the imperial doctor, took the medicine, and today I was wrapped in a thick quilt, and it was useless to sweat."

The emperor was impatient with these little things, and he didn't blame Xu Meiren for not coming out to pick up the car at this time, and went straight to the inner hall, there is no place in the emperor's palace that he can't go.

After all, Xu Meiren is his concubine.

When she arrived in the mainland, Xu Meiren was still shrunk on the bed and did not move, and the emperor was already standing in front of the bed, but she was still shrinking and not moving.

The emperor was slightly angry, and pointed at the palace man who had just gone out to pick up the driver,

"Pick up your beauty, I have something to ask her."

The palace people pushed the brocade quilt, and even called 'beauty', but they didn't see Xu Meiren make a sound, and finally Aunt Ruan, who was next to Concubine Yu, stepped forward and lifted Xu Meiren's quilt.

Xu Meiren seemed to be really swinging, her whole body couldn't help shaking, and she didn't know if it was illness or fear.

"Xu Meiren?"

The emperor looked at the trembling Xu Meiren indifferently and asked.

Xu Meiren raised her gaze slightly, and saw the emperor's tense and indifferent face, as well as Concubine Yu, Concubine Hui, and even two unfamiliar faces.

There was no blood on her face, and it would be even more transparent.

"Are you guilty?" The Emperor asked word for word.

The four words were like a hammer, smashing into Xu Meiren's heart.

Xu Meiren, who was already trembling, trembled even more.

Without giving her a chance to think about it, the emperor asked angrily,

"Where has that palace man in your palace gone now......

Hearing the palace man, Xu Meiren, who had already lost the slightest bit of blood, suddenly collapsed on the bed in despair.

The half-drooping eyes were raised, and the eyelids were red and swollen, as if they had cried.

When the emperor saw her like this, he suddenly paused.

He began to ask Xu Meiren if she was guilty, but in fact, she didn't take over the drive, and she was negligent in managing the palace people below.

Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected effect.

In this way, not only is there a problem with that chamberlain, but also with this Xu Meiren!

The emperor sat on the chair next to him with his hands behind his back, and looked at Xu Meiren solemnly,

"Say it!"

Xu Meiren Xu has been covered in the quilt for a long time, her eyelids are red and swollen, her hair is also unkempt, and she looks extremely pitiful.

With the support of the palace people, she sat up weakly, shed tears, and had a white face.

"I didn't go to the palace banquet because of the cold, but because I stayed in the palace for a long time, I wanted to go out to breathe, so I went to the imperial garden to breathe the wind in the company of Father-in-law Qi."

"I met Princess Fengping on the road, Princess Fengping seemed to be in a bad mood, and she ignored me when she saw me, because there was the one near the road to the garden, and we were one after the other."

"Princess Fengping seemed to be looking for something, looking around, and asked the concubine if she had seen anyone coming."

"At that time, everyone was attending the banquet, so naturally I didn't see anyone coming."

Princess Fengping seemed disappointed, and continued to walk forward.

"Gonggong Qi reminded the concubine at the time that because the wind and cold were not good, let the concubine go back to the palace, but he didn't expect Princess Fengping to let the concubine go at this time, and pulled the concubine towards Luhua Palace."

"The concubine is just an unknown beauty, and she really didn't dare to collide with Princess Fengping, so she went."

She said this, her hands couldn't stop holding the brocade quilt, and she couldn't wring out the water.

"We went to Luhua Palace together, because the location is remote and a little gloomy, the concubine said a few times that she wanted to turn back, but Princess Fengping did not agree, but insisted on pulling the concubine forward.

When we arrived at the palace of Luwa, there was a stool in front of the door, and we didn't think much about it, but when we entered the palace, we didn't expect to hear a faint laughter coming from inside. ”

Although she said it straightforwardly, because she was talking about personal experience, she whispered slowly and drew everyone's attention to her.

"At that time, Princess Fengping seemed to have discovered something important, and there was some ambition and excitement on her face, in short, as if she knew that there would be laughter here."

She motioned for us to be silent, and then quietly walked inside, and the more we walked inside, the more her voice gradually changed.

She said it over and over again and set her eyes on Concubine Hui, who was inexplicably trembling by her gaze and asked,

"What sound?"

Xu Meiren's voice continued calmly,

"Naturally, it's some voices that don't conform to the rules of etiquette, it's some ...... The voice of the back. ”

Concubine Yu gasped, her face turned pale with fright, she looked at Xu Meiren in a daze, and kept shrinking to the emperor's side.

If it weren't for Xu Han, wouldn't it be her who died?

Xu Meiren's voice indifferently thought again,

"I wanted Princess Fengping not to go up, I wanted to pull her out, but she went up the stairs desperately, and she said that she would catch these betrayers today."

"Let her true face be revealed."

"Father-in-law Qi is in front of me, he has always been very conscientious, he has served in the palace since the concubine entered the palace, he stopped the concubine, asked the concubine not to go up, let the concubine escape.

The silence in the room can be heard, everyone is holding their breath, and when they say this, what else do they not understand, Princess Fengping and Xu Meiren were knocked out.

Because Xu Meiren had Father-in-law Qi in front, she fled quickly, and Princess Fengping was killed by others because she was at the forefront.

So, who is the person who steals the sun at Revis Palace?

The emperor's face was pale, his hands were clenched into fists behind his back, and his gaze swept to Xu Han's face, such a thing was actually heard by the courtiers.

Xu Han seemed to be unconscious, and then Xu Meiren's voice asked,

"And then?"

Xu Meiren's eyes were closed, as if remembering the situation at that time, her body trembled,

"I knew that this matter was too big to move, but Her Royal Highness the princess couldn't hold it anymore, and in order to protect me, Father-in-law Qi pounced on the people who were about to come out."

"I didn't let the people inside see me, and I shouted to run away."

She didn't cry until this time, her voice was suffocating, and Xu Han frowned when she saw everyone present.

Although not many people have heard about this, they still can't hide it, and today's labor and mobilization must always give a good excuse.

This will make the emperor still silent in his harem, and someone is cheating.

And Xiao Zheng was not easy to ask, so she asked,

"If what the beauty said is true, since you have escaped, why don't you find someone?"

"And we only saw the body of Princess Fengping in Luhua Palace, but we didn't see Grandpa Qi."

Xu Meiren looked over slowly,

"Princess Fengping insisted on going to Luhua Palace, that is, she got the news in advance and wanted to catch her."

"And Father-in-law Qi has already seen that person, and he asked me to flee for my life, so it must be a noble person who can't be said,"

"I'm afraid of getting into trouble, and I'm anxious and scared, and I don't dare to say anything about Father-in-law Qi, not long after I returned to the palace, I heard the movement in front of me, and I didn't dare to say anything."

She is the emperor's concubine, who is the noble person she can't say?
