Huo Yanzhi looked up and saw that it was almost dark again.

He suddenly felt that the cry in his ears was very unreal, and the Queen Mother's mournful expression and calm eyes seemed ridiculous to him.

Ming Ming Ping retired all the concubines and personally sat in Kunxu Palace, and there were also his people staring at him in the delivery room, even the two midwives were personally checked by Zhao Jiufu and prepared in advance, why did something happen?

Is the queen too unlucky, or is the person who started it too cunning, and he is too self-righteous?

Yes, he had been away for an hour during the morning court, could it be that he had moved during this time?

Thinking of the secret hand he had laid down, and thinking of the self who thought that everything was under control a few hours ago, Huo Yanzhi suddenly felt a splitting headache.

He heard his hoarse voice repeating the words of the palace man in a daze: "The queen has collapsed? ”

The people of that palace are not green peaches and green peonies, but they are fresh faces.

She said with tears streaming down her face: "After Niangniang desperately gave birth to the little prince, she didn't have time to take a look at it before she ...... it."

Outside the delivery room, everyone was shocked.

I thought it was one corpse and two lives, but I didn't expect the queen to struggle to give birth to a prince!

The queen mother fell short, not to mention how uncomfortable she was, but fortunately, this happy event came together, she had a grandson, but her daughter-in-law died, so she didn't have to pretend to be happy.

She calmly asked the second prince to be taken out, and was about to instruct people to start preparing for the queen's funeral step by step.

Huo Yanzhi said: "The queen mother is slow, I have something to ask the imperial doctor!" ”

The Queen Mother disagreed, and only mentioned one sentence: "These imperial doctors are also old, and the mourning family looks at it, so it is better to let them all return to their hometowns." ”

Huo Yanzhi didn't answer, gave Wang Dexi a look behind him, and didn't care about the Queen Mother shouting behind her, "The delivery room is dirty, Your Majesty can't do it", and went into the delivery room by herself.

There was still a group of people kneeling inside, the imperial doctor knelt on the periphery and cried with his face, the palace maids knelt on the side of the delivery bed and cried, and one of them even fainted on the ground crying, looking like a green peach.

Huo Yanzhi walked over and glanced at the queen's cold and pale face, so he couldn't bear to look at it anymore and took a few steps back.

He didn't talk nonsense, he directly ordered two people to come out to question, and forced the imperial doctor with a calm face, almost to ask the question with death.

After a stick of incense, the queen mother waited impatiently and asked people to come in to urge, but she saw a palace maid who was tied hand and foot, gagged with a veil, and was whimpering and crying on the ground, as if begging for mercy.

Take a closer look, this palace maid looks a little familiar, isn't it the one who just rushed out to report the funeral!

Huo Yanzhi glanced at the person who came, and said expressionlessly: "It's just right to come." Go, invite the Queen Mother in, and listen to what this arrogant has to say. ”

The queen mother had a bad heart, but she still held on to the shelf and refused to go in, making an inexplicable angry look.

"The delivery room is dirty, filthy, and dead, and the mourning family is very bad, and they have been sitting on a cold bench here all day, but they can't help tossing anymore. Who does the emperor want the mourning family to see, why not pull her out to see her again? ”

Just as Wang Dexi trotted in again and passed the reply, Huo Yanzhi's face was even more gloomy, and he could almost wring out water.

"Very good! Since the queen mother insists, let's go to the front and see each other together! ”

Huo Yanzhi went out with the imperial doctor, the midwife and a few palace maids, and most of the remaining people escalated from panic to the level of realizing that they were dying, especially those who had dealings with the palace maids who had just been taken away on weekdays.

The queen's mother was designed by the to stumble and have a miscarriage, and during the birth, it was the who took advantage of the midwife's chaos and secretly stuffed the secret medicine powder into the mother's birth canal, which caused the mother's amniotic fluid to break early and the uterine mouth to be delayed!

According to the imperial doctor, if it weren't for the effect of the medicinal powder at the back, the queen mother would definitely not die, at most because of the great injury to the vitality of production, and she would never be able to give birth in the future.

Although the queen has lost power, but in the end there is still a name of the queen of the main palace, and now all the palace ladies are silent, completely without the mind of competing for beauty in the past, who is the divine dare to make such a clear move, is not afraid that His Majesty will be liquidated afterwards?

As soon as the queen mother saw the palace maid who was dragged out, she understood, and couldn't help but secretly hate Concubine Xian's inability to use people, and she showed her feet so quickly!

What made her even more vigilant was that Concubine Xian actually came at this time, her face was pale, and the palace maids around her were also unwilling, and the snow particles on her master's hood had forgotten to be carefully dusted off, followed by Zhao Jiufu, Ma Gongming and several others.

Ma Gongming is the second-in-command of the Shen Criminal Division, although he has only been in office for one year, he has done things quite holy, and basically now has most of the real power. He suddenly appeared in Kunxu Palace, and he was with Zhao Jiufu, which is not a good sign!

Moreover, if you take a closer look, you can find that the people brought by Zhao Jiufu are all in the same configuration as those in front of Huo Yanzhi, the imperial doctor, the midwife and the palace maid, but there is one less "suspect" who is tied up!

When Princess An heard the news, she first pulled the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her dry eyes, cried a few times for the queen, and then smiled nervously and cared about what happened.

The Queen Mother impatiently dusted off the non-existent ash on her knees, and tried to exchange glances with Concubine Xian without a trace.

"What kind of medicine is being sold in the emperor's gourd? Now that the queen has just gone, the palace is full of chaos, and the most important thing is to mourn first! It's getting late, how can you get so many people? If you delay it any longer, the key to the palace gate will be delayed until tomorrow! ”

"The queen mother has a point." Huo Yanzhi's expression was cold, and his gaze swept over everyone present one by one, especially Concubine Xian, who stayed on Concubine Xian for the longest time, "Zhao Jiufu, you can say it first." ”

Zhao Jiufu answered yes, and used the voice of the flat plate to concisely explain the thrills of the Jade Hall in the past twelve hours.

"So, Wen's suddenly started after eating that bowl of bird's nest porridge? Who are the people who handle it? The Queen Mother hurriedly asked.

Zhao Jiufu lowered his head: "After the incident, the female eunuchs of the palace have all been controlled in the Hanyu Palace, and after the slaves and maids arrived, in addition to taking care of Wen Meiren's production, they also cooperated with Gonggong Ma to interrogate people, and the murderer has been found." It's just that the murderer saw that it was not good, and after saying his confession, he actually stabbed his neck with a golden hairpin, and he had already gone. ”

"During the interrogation, this palace maid was present to witness the whole process, and if the Queen Mother wants to know, she can also ask her." Ma Gongming added diligently on the side.

The Queen Mother's face was ugly for a moment, and when she heard that the palace maid had committed suicide, she quickly glanced at Zhao Jiufu and the others, and quickly breathed a sigh of relief.

The whole family of the was pinched in the palm of her hand, and she didn't confess herself so easily, otherwise she wouldn't have chosen to kill herself so soon.

Sure enough, when she asked about the confession of the dead palace maid, Concubine Xian fell to her knees softly, her eyes were empty and godless, and her heart looked like ashes.

Princess An stood silently beside the Queen Mother, looking at Concubine Xian's soul, and almost didn't laugh out loud.

I'm afraid, Concubine Xian has always felt that the palace maid is her person, right?

Otherwise, she wouldn't have used that person to poison Wen Meiren, and she also pulled out the matter of Concubine Shu doing things in Wen Meiren's tea, turned her head and attacked the eldest princess she gave birth to, played a thief shouting to catch a thief, and successfully planted all the black cauldrons on Concubine Shu's head.

Now that the queen is dead, leaving a second prince without a mother is indeed a troublesome matter. However, if you can take the opportunity to pull Concubine Xian off the horse, Concubine Shu is still carrying a few black pots, and almost all the high positions in the palace will be wiped out, and when the time comes, won't the Queen Mother have the final say with her?

"Virtuous concubine? What's going on? Could it be that the palace maid deliberately planted it, how could Concubine Xian-"

The Queen Mother rolled her eyes, her body was crooked, and she sat down firmly under the support of Princess An.

"Emperor, this matter is very important, but you can't listen to the palace maid's words, you still have to be cautious."

After hesitating for a while, the Queen Mother said again: "Such a big matter, the queen has gone, and Concubine Xian has been framed by the palace maid again, and there is only one concubine left in the palace." Is the eldest son of the emperor okay these days? It's better to let Concubine Shu come over. ”

Huo Yanzhi sneered in his heart, he, the queen mother, really didn't forget to take eye medicine for Concubine Shu all the time!

Speaking of which, in this chaotic situation now, there are only a few people who can be pulled out of the black pot, and the relationship between Concubine Xian and the Queen Mother is not clear, so naturally Concubine Shu, who gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor, is more suitable to be this scapegoat!

In the past, he was blindfolded and couldn't see the truth clearly, or he was disheartened and didn't bother to investigate, but this time he couldn't get by!

Even if it wasn't for Zhiwei's words, he didn't want to let himself be surrounded by a pile of filthy mire!

"What the queen mother said is that you really have to be cautious."

Huo Yanzhi waved his hand, and without even asking Concubine Xian, he said to Zhao Jiufu: "Wen Meiren has meritorious labor in giving birth to women, and has been repeatedly victimized by adulterers, but she can turn evil into good fortune, which shows that there is great luck. From now on, Jin Wen beauties moved to the main hall of Jingyang Palace for repairs. Go down and remember the purpose. ”

Concubine Xian listened to this decree blankly, and her mind was buzzing with echoes.

It's not surprising that she has been promoted two levels in a row, after all, scarcity is expensive, even if she only gives birth to a princess, she is very expensive in this palace, isn't she also a concubine who was named by giving birth to the eldest princess?

But the palace rules of this dynasty, generally only the concubines above the second grade can live in the main hall, unless it is particularly favored, and there are not many concubines in the palace will allow the third-grade Jieyu to live in the main hall, and Wen Meiren just crossed the hurdle of Jieyu and became Wen Xiuyi, and she can move out of the Yonghe Palace Hanyu Hall in a grand manner.

His Majesty didn't speak, but he was in a hurry to let Wen Meiren move out of Yonghe Palace, which seemed to have exposed his distrust of himself!

Even if there is the Queen Mother's protection and the justification she prepared, will Your Majesty still believe it?

Huo Yanzhi called the other person who had been waiting for a long time forward and ordered: "Loosen the veil in her mouth, be careful, don't let her bite her tongue and kill herself." ”

Before the restrained palace maid could speak, he even evoked a sneering smile.

"What I just said, how do I say it now. If there is a difference in half a word, I don't care how many hands and eyes the master behind you is, your family members, relatives and friends have to go down to accompany you! ”

The palace maid has been kneeling on the ground trembling since she was tied up and pulled out, and she has also attracted the attention of many people, but the atmosphere is too weird for anyone to take the initiative to ask.

Seeing that the emperor seemed to be confident, Princess An's palms were covered with cold sweat, she clenched the veil tighter, and stared at the palace maid without saying a word.

"Your Majesty, the slave maid was forced by someone to harm the queen mother in desperation. If the slave and maid don't do this, the whole family outside the palace will die with them, and the slave and maid really have no choice! ”

The Queen Mother pinched the armrest, as if she had used all her strength to control herself from standing up.

Huo Yanzhi motioned to the palace maid to continue with her eyes, but when she said this, her expression shrank, she refused to look up, and she was stumbling to speak.

He sneered: "What? Could it be that the person who persecuted you to murder the queen is here? That's why you don't dare to look up and squeak? I said it, what did you say just now, and how do you say it now, you can't make a single mistake! Otherwise......"

After a brief silence, the palace maid suddenly raised her head and stared sharply in one direction.

"Yes, it's Princess Ann! She forced the slave to do this! ”

The queen mother slapped the table case heavily, glared at the palace maid, and was the first to question.

"What a, she actually splashed dirty water on the head of the princess! Honestly, which house is the master behind you? Is it the courage of a leopard who eats a bear's heart? ”

Princess An was so frightened that her face was pale, and she trembled all over, as if she was suffering from a pendulum disease.

"You, how can you be so innocent? When have I ever done something like this? Your Majesty, Queen Mother, this must be biting indiscriminately, you can't trust her! I am a woman's family, and I don't have the support of my husband, but I just want to do my filial piety for my husband and son, so I just entered the palace to serve my mother for a few days. I don't want to get into such a lawsuit, this, how can people say this? Woo woo, I might as well go with my husband, and save myself from being ......."

"That's it! Sister-in-law Wang, don't be busy crying yet, listen to her finish speaking. ”

The palace maid settled down, and began to talk about the few things she had just confessed one by one, which was much more detailed than just now, all about how Princess An found her, where she usually connected, what specific things she did, and the specific plan before the queen's "accidental premature birth" this time, and so on.

The piles and piles sounded extremely real, and even the Queen Mother was shocked, without Fang Cai's angry face.

Princess An only felt creepy, and the whining fake cry turned into a real cry this time, and the tears of fear couldn't help rolling down, but she didn't dare to cry too loudly and was reprimanded by the emperor, and the little eyes that asked for help kept drifting to the queen mother's face.

But the Queen Mother sat on the top, expressionless, and didn't look at her.

After Fang Cai's anger and shock, his expression returned to no sorrow and no joy, like a high Bodhisattva.
