Emperor Hongzheng frowned, and said majestically: "Come on, bring Zhao Xian over, I will interrogate him personally." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The princess went outside to convey the holy will, and Concubine Li was still a little dazed and tentative: "Your Majesty, is there any problem with Zhao?" ”

"It's okay, I'll talk about it when I ask."

Empress Dowager Zhong watched coldly and did not notice anything unusual about Concubine Li. Either she didn't know it at all, or she was too well disguised, and she needed to continue to observe.

Zhao Xian was quickly brought in, knelt on the ground, trembling and shouting with a slightly fat body: "Slave Zhao Xian, knock on the emperor!" Knock on the Queen Mother! Long live the emperor, long live, long live! The Queen Mother Chitose Chitose Chitose! ”

Emperor Hong Zheng did not let him flatten, but asked directly: "Zhao Xian? Did you suggest that the Seven Stars Camellia be given to the princess? ”

Zhao Xian's body trembled, and he hung his head and replied: "Back to the emperor, he is a minion." ”

"Why?"

"Back to the emperor, it's because Concubine Li likes Wei Zi and doesn't like Qixing camellia, so the slave dared to suggest and wanted to please Her Royal Highness the princess."

Emperor Hong Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and his voice was not angry but threatening: "Really? Just so? ”

Zhao Xian kowtowed again and again, and replied: "Back to the emperor, that's what the slave thinks." ”

Emperor Hong Zheng looked at the silent Empress Dowager Zhong.

Empress Dowager Zhong smiled coldly and shouted lightly: "Bold minion! Dare to lie! Don't take your murder of the princess from the truth! ”

"Slaves don't dare! Isn't Princess Pearl good-looking? Where are the minions plotting to murder the princess! Please check the emperor and the queen mother! The minions are wronged! ”

Zhao Xian raised his head suddenly, his face full of surprise, and then kowtowed, saying innocently.

"Well, the mourning family asks you, the Seven Star Camellia is just an ordinary flower, with no characteristics, who gave you the courage to please Mingzhu?"

Empress Dowager Zhong went straight in, and a trace of panic flashed on Zhao's honest face.

Then he explained: "Back to the Queen Mother, the seven-star camellia is already a relatively rare thing, and the slave will suggest it when he hears that the princess likes camellia." ”

"Nonsense! It is difficult for peony astragalus to become a plant in three years, and it is true to say that it is rare. Seven Star Camellia is available every year, where is it a rarity? ”

Zhao Xian's hand on the ground had begun to tremble unconsciously.

But he still quibbled: "Back to the Queen Mother, the Seven Star Camellia is a common thing for the Queen Mother." For Li Concubine Niangniang, it is a rare thing. ”

"Concubine Li, it seems that Concubine Xian has treated you badly?"

When Concubine Li heard what Empress Dowager Zhong said, she quickly knelt down and replied: "Back to the Empress Dowager, Concubine Xian took good care of her concubines and did not treat her badly. ”

"Really? That's just a pot of Seven Star Mountain Tea, how can it be a rare thing? As far as the mourning family knows, a pot of money oranges was cultivated with great difficulty a few years ago, didn't it all be sent to your palace? ”

Empress Dowager Zhong suddenly leaked domineering, and that kind of majesty scared Concubine Li into sweating like rain, and she looked at Emperor Hong Zheng pleadingly.

"Your Majesty, it's all said by this slave, and the concubine doesn't mean that."

Emperor Hong Zheng's eyes were like torches, shooting at Zhao Xian, only to see that he was a little flustered, and suddenly got up and hit the pillars in the hall.

Dongchun was originally standing under the steps, seeing that Zhao Xian had a strange movement, he instantly bounced forward, slammed and pressed, and directly twisted Zhao Xian's backhand, unloaded his chin and stepped on his feet.

Empress Dowager Zhong saw that Zhao Xian finally showed his fox tail, and sneered: "Okay, emperor, this person is from the Li Concubine Palace, and the mourning family will be handed over to you." The mourning family is waiting for your news, be sure to dig out the person behind it. ”

"The Queen Mother can rest assured, I will investigate strictly to the end."

Emperor Hong Zheng also felt that he had lost face, and the servants in his concubine's palace dared to harm the princess. Fortunately, the Queen Mother has always been shrewd and understands righteousness, otherwise it would affect the relationship between mother and son.

After Emperor Hong Zheng left, Empress Dowager Zhong still felt that the emperor couldn't ask anything.

Leaned sideways and asked, "Xiuchun, you go and see if you find anything." Remember, don't miss any clues. ”

After a while, Mama Fang came back and said in her ear: "Queen Mother, there is no doubt about this person before entering the palace. After entering the palace, he worshiped a godfather surnamed Xuan, and Gonggong Wan followed the investigation and found that although the surname Xuan was dead, his other godson Qian Liu had been out of the palace recently. According to the portrait identified by our people, he went to the Lord's Mansion of Fuling County. ”

"The Lord of Fuling County? Yan Rujing? She wants to kill my pearl quietly, so that she can move the Yuan family's girl? ”

Empress Dowager Zhong muttered to herself, Mama Fang saw that Empress Dowager Zhong's face was ugly, and couldn't help but persuade: "Maybe it's just a coincidence, what a glory it will be for our princess to get married in the first place!" ”

"No, Yan Ruxun is a bull, and she lost face when she entered the palace last time, and she holds a grudge. Unexpectedly, she has learned to live and restrain each other in Liaodong over the years. ”

Empress Dowager Zhong couldn't help but sneer, and Mama Fang hesitated a little: "But Marquis Xiao is more filial to Lord Fuling?" ”

"It's okay, you let people spread the news, don't worry, toss a few more. told Xiao Yao that his mother was killed by Yan Ruxun. The mourning family doesn't believe it, and they can continue to love their grandchildren. ”

Mama Fang received the order, and Empress Dowager Zhong ordered: "Don't tell Mingzhu about this, let her take care of it, and the mourning family will take this breath for her." The matter of lotus seeds, continue to investigate, all the dark piles, and the mourning family must be uprooted. ”

In the Shen Xing Division, Zhao Xian was tied up to death, and after three consecutive tortures, he couldn't resist it.

"I recruit, I recruit! It was Qian Liu from the Huanyi Bureau who told me, and he only said that it would be beneficial to give flowers to the princess, but he didn't say that the flowers were poisonous! I saw that the flowers were placed in the palace of Concubine Li Niangniang all night, and it was okay before I dared to suggest that Niangniang send flowers. ”

The people from the Criminal Investigation Department went to the Huanyi Bureau to arrest people.

But since Zhao Xian went to Cining Palace, Qian Liu committed suicide by hanging himself. By the time the men from the Criminal Division kicked open his room, they were already stiff.

Emperor Hong Zheng got the report, but he really couldn't dig up any news.

"Wang Ning, check again! Take everything that Qian Liu and Zhao Xian had before entering the palace, and let me check it out! I don't believe I can't find anything! ”

The prince said cautiously: "Back to the emperor, before entering the palace, the servants have already sent someone to confirm it." It's just that Qian Liu and Zhao Xian worshipped the same godfather Xuanbu, who used to be in the palace of Concubine Hui, and then Concubine Hui went to the Huanyi Bureau, which was gone a few years ago. ”

"This Xuanbu also needs to be investigated! I must give an explanation to the Queen Mother! ”

Emperor Hong Zheng was a little annoyed, if he couldn't find out the mastermind behind the scenes, and the shame was small, he was afraid that the Queen Mother would be guilty. After all, Mingzhu is the meat of Empress Dowager Zhong's heart, and it is also a reverse scale.

The prince took half a step forward and whispered: "Your Majesty, if you don't find out anything, it can be said that before Concubine Hui died, she resented the Queen Mother." That's why Qian Liucai complied with his last wish and took the opportunity to harm the princess. ”

Emperor Hong Zheng waved his hand: "No, the Queen Mother is not an ordinary person, she just can't find anything, and she can't take the fake one." ”

"Yes, the minion is stupid."

Wang Ning slapped his face lightly and stood up again.
