Chapter 42: Framing Concubine Qing

"She was obviously strangled to death, so go find a maid to check if there are any other injuries on her body." After Pan Zhenan finished speaking, he picked up the handkerchief and wiped his hands, then threw it on the white cloth, and the two eunuchs next to him came over and carried away Ling'er under the white cloth.

"This matter must be hidden from your master."

"The little one understands."

Pan Zhenan then took Jiang Liu and walked around in Yin Linxuan.

"It seems that Ling'er has just been thrown into the well." Pan Zhenan said as he squatted down and stretched out his hand to sort out the weeds that had been trampled on.

"Father-in-law, but does he think that the person who killed Ling'er and the person who poisoned the little master are the same person?" Jiang Liu asked.

"Can't you see something so obvious?"

Jiang Liu lowered his head, with a submissive look on his face, "Little stupid." ”

Yin Linxuan didn't rely on the left and right, it was just a lonely deserted yard, what was the intention of the person who killed Ling'er to throw Ling'er's body here?

Pan Zhen'an continued to walk, walked out of Yin Linxuan, and unconsciously walked to Fule Palace.

"That's not right."

"What did my father-in-law say was wrong?"

Pan Zhenan looked back at Jiang Liu, and then looked up at the plaque of Fule Palace, "Have you noticed that Yin Linxuan is very close to Fule Palace?" ”

Jiang Liu nodded.

"Could it be Concubine Qing?" After Pan Zhenan finished speaking, he felt that there was no bottom.

"Father-in-law means that Concubine Qing did these things?" As soon as Jiang Liu's words came out, he immediately repented and closed his mouth.

This pays attention to Concubine Qing in front of the Fule Palace, Pan Zhenan is nothing, but it is Jiang Liu who is not happy to be discovered.

Pan Zhenan took him to Yunyan Pavilion, and said as he walked, "I always think this thing is strange." ”

Jiang Liu didn't interject again, just listened behind him.

"If it was her, why did she throw her body so close to her palace? Although it was a deserted courtyard, the inner palace supervisor would also send someone to clean it up from time to time, why did she want to provoke suspicion? ”

Jiang Liu walked two steps quickly at this time and caught up with Pan Zhen'an, "From a small point of view, there is a good chance that this thing was not done by Concubine Qing, it is more like someone else framed her." ”

"Oh?" Pan Zhenan stopped and looked at him with a smile, "I also thought of what you said just now, do you have any other ideas?" ”

"I think about it, Concubine Qing has been at odds with the little lord for a long time, and she once knocked the little master unconscious, which at least shows that Niang Niang is simple and neat, unlike someone who will go to great lengths to design such a show. Besides, even if it was really done by Concubine Qing, where would anyone be stupid enough to throw the body next to their own house? So the little one feels more like someone else planted it for Concubine Qing. ”

Pan Zhenan nodded.

Unconsciously, the two returned to Yunyan Pavilion.

In front of Yao Chuxi, Jiang Liu and Pan Zhenan behaved normally, and no one said much. But after the emperor and Pan Zhenan returned to the Taihe Palace, the snow couldn't hold back, and they chased after Jiang Liu to ask what he was going to do.

"I said aunt, grandma, do you dare to ask for the emperor?" Jiang Liu hid in Han Shanggong's room and shut Luoxue out.

He can't let Luoxue know about this kind of thing, not to mention that he is afraid that she will say the wrong thing and let his master know, just say that the person she sees every day on weekdays has not seen her for a few days, and it is enough for her to be afraid for a while.

He told Han Shanggong about this matter at all, and wanted her to help him think about it.

"You didn't tell Pan Zhenan about doubting the queen, did you?" Han Shanggong asked.

"No, how dare you?"

Han Shanggong nodded.

No matter what, even if even the emperor doubted the queen, the people of Yunyan Pavilion couldn't say this out loud. It's not good for anyone to mess up the dignity and inferiority, let alone the sin of nonsense and disturbing people's hearts.

"This is obviously not done by Concubine Qing, she is timid, she can't do all the ideas she has, and she doesn't even know where to get the poison. Although she has accumulated a lot of contacts in the palace over the years, her mother's family has long been out of business, and she basically relies on her to maintain it, where does she have the courage to do such a thing that affects the whole family? ”

In the Taihe Palace, Pan Zhenan also said similar things to the emperor.

"Where are the palaces farthest away from Yin Linxuan?" The emperor asked.

Pan Zhenan thought for a while and replied, "Back to the emperor, if you remove the back garden, there will be more palaces, what Fengluan Palace, Ningshou Palace, Bihexuan, Bijingxuan, and Xianghe Palace, all far away from Yin Linxuan." ”

The emperor's mouth repeated over and over again the several palaces that Pan Zhenan had just mentioned, and paused when he mentioned Fengluan Hall again.

"You say, what can a person get by directing incriminating evidence to Fulave Palace in order to exonerate her guilt and plant false accusations? Or rather, what's in it for herself? ”

After listening to the emperor's words, Pan Zhenan instantly opened his mouth: "Second prince!" ”

The emperor nodded, "That's it, it's really a serial plan." ”

"Then the emperor is suspicious of the queen?" Pan Zhenan asked tentatively.

The emperor did not speak, which confirmed Pan Zhenan's conjecture.

There is only one beneficiary inside and outside this matter, and that is the queen.

She first pretended to pass by on the way to take Ling'er to take her lipid in the rain, and took the opportunity to poison Ling'er. After Yao Cairen had a miscarriage, the queen deceived her to Fengluan Hall or any place on the grounds of paying Ling'er, and after strangulation, she first soaked in water, and it happened to have just snowed recently, and the body was not going to rot immediately.

Her wishful thinking was really good, and even the emperor was almost deceived.

After the emperor begins to suspect Concubine Qing, the queen will definitely do something to increase the suspicion of Concubine Chongqing, and at this time, the emperor can still let the second prince stay in Fule Palace? The only one in the entire harem who is most qualified to raise the second prince is the queen.

Sure enough, insidious.

The emperor became more and more impatient in his heart. In the morning, when he went to the court, he had just disposed of Chen Qiuhe, not to mention the fact that he had been demoted by two ranks, and he was severely reprimanded in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and he punished Yu Lu and let others replace his previous official rank in front of him, which can be regarded as a more severe punishment.

In fact, the emperor even has the heart to kill him, but it is expedient, and now is not a good time.

How to say that the queen has been with her for so many years, although there are suspicions, the emperor doesn't want to do anything to her, and even the emperor wants to treat the queen well after getting rid of Chen Qiuhe.

But he didn't want to see the queen again.

In recent years, the emperor can ignore some small things, but when he does too many things, it is inevitable that he will go overboard, and the queen is testing his bottom line step by step.

He could not tolerate a woman trampling the dignity of his emperor under his feet.

No wonder the Queen Mother didn't want him to marry the queen as Fujin, it turned out that she had already seen her character.

The emperor regretted it at this time, if he didn't believe the queen mother's words and insisted on marrying the queen, the harem would not be as restless as today.

Inside the Cloud Smoke Pavilion.

"Jiang Liu, come here." Luo Yu walked into the courtyard and greeted Jiang Liu.

"What's wrong?"

"The little lord is looking for you."

Jiang Liu paused and did not go over immediately.

"The little lord seems to want to ask you something, but you can think of an answer." After Luo Yu finished speaking, he returned to the east hall.

Just now, Han Shanggong had already told her about Yin Linxuan when he found an opportunity, but at this time, could she still hide it for Jiang Liu?

When Jiang Liu entered the house, Yao Chuxi first noticed his clothes, but forgot what he wanted to ask.

"Although the weather has been warm in the past two days, you have to be careful not to freeze sick."

"Yes, little master, the minion remembers."

"Didn't you send out all the cotton clothes when it rained? Why is that one of yours topless? Whether it's broken or dirty, take it out and make up for it, don't be misguided. Yao Chuxi continued.

"No, the slave has been a little angry in the past two days, and he will suffer if he wears too much, don't worry about the minion, little master, the slave will not forget to add clothes when the weather is cold."

"That's good." Yao Chuxi thought for a while about what she was about to ask, but she couldn't remember it when she was interrupted by this conversation, so she turned her head and asked Luoyu, "What are I going to ask?" ”

"The slave doesn't remember, at that time, the slave and maid mended their clothes, and you didn't ask anything when you asked Jiang Liu to come in." Falling rain pouted.

Yao Chuxi saw that it was useless to ask about the rain, so he simply didn't want to think about it, "Jiang Liu, you go to the dining room to ask for a pear soup, take it to your house and drink it, it's not comfortable to be on fire in this weather, you can't sleep if the kang doesn't burn, and if it burns, it will be on fire again, but it's really difficult." ”

"Slave Xie little master." Jiang Liu saw that the conversation had been pulled from his clothes to the matter of him being on fire, and he was relieved, "Actually, the fire kang is nothing, after all, it has just burned in the past few days, and it will be fine to get used to it for two days." Little master, you have to take care of it now, don't worry about the slave, the slave will go to the dining room first. ”

Jiang Liu, who went out of the house, quickly patted his chest and escaped the catastrophe.

As soon as he went out here, Luoxia brought honey water over there.

In the past few months, it was rare to see honey in Yunyan Pavilion, and at that time, Yao Chuxi's foundation was not stable, and Yuan Shaoyu was a little reluctant to give up these good things. But now it's different, there are good things into Yunyan Pavilion all day long, and things like honey are drunk every day.

"I just heard you tell the little master that you are on fire, presumably your throat will be uncomfortable, drink a glass of honey and moisten it."

Jiang Liu took a cup of honey water handed by Luo Xia and thanked him.

"The little master still has to drink it, I'll send it in first."

Jiang Liu nodded, got out of the way of the position in front of the door, and lifted the cotton curtain to let Luoxia in.

Speaking of which, this Luoxia will only be seventeen years old this year, which is the same age as herself.

Before Jiang Liu entered the palace, there was a girl at home who was also named Fen'er, but she was not alone with Luoxia.

After entering the palace, the two have not met. Jiang Liu heard his mother mention it, saying that his old Jiang family and Fen'er's family had a baby marriage, and when Jiang Liu and Fen'er grew up, they wanted to get married!

But the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and there was no harvest in the family for two consecutive years, and Jiang Liu was sent to the palace as a eunuch in desperation.

He often thinks that if he hadn't entered the palace, he should have married Fen'er in the past two years, right?

It's a pity that there is no Fen'er in the palace, but there is Luoxia.

Luoxia is good to herself, Jiang Liu feels it. Every time there is good food and clothing, Luoxia is towards herself, more diligent than Han Shanggong.
