Concubine Mei was flustered and nodded subconsciously.

Xie Mingxi opened his mouth to give an order, and ordered Qin Se to help Concubine Mei into the dormitory to rest. Then, all the palace maids in the Hanxiang Palace were detained and interrogated one by one.

Miss Zhou hadn't woken up yet, and was carried to the wing room of Hanxiang Palace. The unlucky Mrs. Zhou stood by and cried like red peaches in her eyes.

Miss Zhou was in a coma for two days before she woke up.

Mrs. Zhou's voice was already hoarse from crying, and she couldn't speak when she opened her mouth: "Ling'er, you finally woke up." In this palace, I don't dare to stay. I'm going to beg the concubine to let our mother and daughter out of the palace. ”

Miss Zhou hadn't eaten or drunk for two days, she was extremely weak, her face was pale, and she nodded reluctantly.

In the past two days, Concubine Mei's life has not been easy. When I'm older, I can't help but be scared. The palace maids who served around her were all imprisoned and interrogated, and only a familiar face was left by Qinse's side.

In fact, before finding out what happened, Qin Se couldn't get rid of suspicion. If it weren't for Concubine Mei's side, Qin Se would also be imprisoned in the palace.

Sheng Hong came to visit, didn't say anything, only frowned and sighed.

Concubine Mei was aggrieved, and tears welled up: "Ah Hong, I really don't know why Miss Zhou fainted and didn't wake up." I really haven't done anything. ”

Sheng Hong sighed lightly again: "Of course I can trust my mother." It's just that the people who are serving around the concubine should also be sorted out. If this kind of thing spreads, it will damage the reputation of the concubine, and it is not a decent thing for the heavenly family. ”

Isn't it?

The daughter of the foreign minister entered the palace, drank tea and collapsed. Once this kind of thing spreads, I don't know how much criticism and accusations it will provoke. Concubine Mei bore the brunt of it, don't think about any good reputation.

Concubine Mei said while crying: "Most of the people who are serving by my side are old people. They were all very faithful to me. The queen put them all in prison, which was a bit harsh......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Sheng Hong: "Miss Zhou's poisoning, I haven't found out who did it." In case some of these palace maids have bad intentions, it is not good for the mother, and the mother concubine is also unable to prevent it. To be on the safe side, it's better to find out. Those who are loyal and reliable can continue to stay with their mothers. There is no shortage of smart and intelligent palace maids in the palace, and there will be no shortage of people around the concubine, just rest assured. ”

Concubine Mei: "......"

She doesn't lack people to serve, what she lacks is her close confidants!

has been "combed" by Xie Mingxi, what other people are available around her?

It's just that in front of Sheng Hong, such words can't be said at all. Concubine Mei had a hard time, so she had to nod her head.

Qin Se, who was standing on the side, seemed to be about to say something, Sheng Hong looked up.

That glance was a cold warning.

Qin Se's face turned slightly pale, and he lowered his head, not daring to say anything more.

From the very beginning, this matter was full of strangeness. In the past two days, Qin Se pondered repeatedly, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. It's just that no matter how bold she is, she doesn't dare to suspect Queen Xie in front of Sheng Hong......

After Sheng Hong warned Qin Se, he retracted his gaze as if nothing had happened, and gently comforted Concubine Mei before leaving.

……

Then, Mrs. Zhou came with red and swollen eyes, and opened her mouth to say goodbye to Concubine Mei and go out of the palace and return home: "...... Ling'er finally woke up today, and caused so much trouble to the concubine, and the courtiers were terrified. Today, I will lead Ling'er back. ”

Concubine Mei was the most soft-hearted, and she was soft-hearted when Mrs. Zhou cried, so she opened her mouth to respond.

Qin Se didn't say a word, but she thought secretly in her heart. It is not difficult for Mrs. Zhou to lead her daughter into the palace, but it is not easy to get out of the palace.

What Qin Se expected was not bad.

Concubine Mei sent the palace maid to Jiaofang Hall to deliver a message, and Xiang Hui soon came to pass on the phoenix message: "The queen has a will, the matter has not yet been clarified, and Mrs. Zhou's mother and daughter are also suspicious, and they can't leave the palace for the time being." ”

Concubine Mei: "......"

Mrs. Zhou: "......"

Mrs. Zhou's eyes were dark, her body shook, and she almost fainted on the spot.

Concubine Mei's face was not very good-looking, and she glared at Xiang Hui: "The mourning family has already responded to Mrs. Zhou's mother and daughter leaving the palace, why did the queen obstruct it?" ”

Xiang Hui explained good-naturedly: "Don't misunderstand, concubine. The queen is for the sake of the reputation of Hanxiang Palace and the reputation of the concubine. Before the matter was found out, Mrs. Zhou was in a hurry to take Miss Zhou out of the palace, which was really inappropriate. ”

As he spoke, he glanced meaningfully at Mrs. Zhou, who had an ugly face: "The queen mother said that in this world, there are some people with bad intentions, in order to achieve their goals, they can use any insidious and despicable methods. The concubine is undoubtedly the heart of the people, and the queen has to worry more about the concubine. ”

Mrs. Zhou jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it away, kneeling down and crying to distinguish that she had no different intentions.

Xiang Hui said lightly: "Mrs. Zhou admits that she is innocent, why is she in a hurry to leave the palace and return home?" Just live in the Hanxiang Palace with peace of mind. When the matter is clarified, the queen will let Mrs. Zhou's mother and daughter out of the palace. ”

Concubine Mei has never been a determined person, and when Xiang Hui said this, she also felt that it made sense, and opened her mouth and said: "That is the case, you and Ling'er will stay in the palace for a while." ”

Mrs. Zhou: "......"

Mrs. Zhou really wants to cry without tears!

She was really greedy, and wanted her daughter to enter the palace as a concubine, relying on the cousin love in the boudoir in the past to enter the palace to "ask for peace". I never thought that the mutton was not eaten, but it was fishy.

……

Mrs. Zhou and Miss Zhou lived in the Hanxiang Palace for a month, and they were worried every day.

Empress Xie acted carefully and ordered people to question those palace maids repeatedly. Finally found a suspicious person, that palace maid was still the person who was rewarded to Concubine Mei by Empress Dowager Yu back then, and she had been serving in Hanxiang Palace for more than ten years. This time, he was secretly bought, and secretly put colorless and tasteless drugs in Miss Zhou's tea.

Fortunately, Miss Zhou drank less, otherwise it would have been harmful to her body.

The person who secretly buys the palace maid is naturally also a person in the palace. After Xie Mingxi personally interrogated, the palace maid was given to death, and the remaining ten palace maids were also responsible for negligence, so they were all sent to rough work.

Xie Mingxi selected a few young female officials and more than a dozen intelligent and careful palace maids to enter the Hanxiang Palace.

Since this incident, Concubine Mei's vitality has been greatly damaged, and she has lost face, and she once again "closed the palace to recuperate".

Mrs. Zhou and Miss Zhou were finally able to leave the palace. The moment they left the palace gate, both mother and daughter wept, as if they had escaped and rediscovered the light of day.

Those ladies who are about to send their daughters into the palace, where do they dare to do this again.

Several concubines in the harem couldn't sit still, and even Xiao Yuhan, Yin Xiaoxiao, and Zhao Changqing were a little nervous.

Xie Mingxi personally interrogated the palace maid before giving it to the palace maid. In other words, Xie Mingxi already knows who the mastermind behind this is......

Who is this person?

Why did Xie Mingxi hold back?
