Concubine Xiang was so frightened that the six souls had no owner, and the emperor decreed that if she could not find the real murderer in her mouth on the day of the queen's funeral, she would be buried with the queen.

Concubine Xiang cried, crawled to the emperor with a rolling belt, and grabbed the corner of the emperor's clothes, "Your Majesty, be gracious!" It's really not a concubine, it's really not a concubine...... The emperor clearly checked......"

At this time, Orange Creek, who heard the news, rushed over, and as soon as she entered the door, Concubine Xiang climbed to Orange Creek as if she had seen a life-saving straw, "Concubine Tong help me, help me, I really didn't poison the queen...... Woowoo woo ......"

Orange Creek was a little confused, looked at the emperor, and then looked at the queen on the bed, "Your Majesty, this is?" ”

Orange Creek learned the ins and outs of the matter from the emperor, Yun Ling, and Concubine Xiang. Looking at Concubine Xiang's unpleasant face, and hearing her pleading again and again, Orange Creek's heart softened.

Who is the murderer? Orange Creek already has the answer in his heart, "Your Majesty, let Orange Creek find out the real culprit and return Concubine Xiang's innocence!" When Concubine Xiang heard Orange Creek say this, she kowtowed again and again in gratitude.

"Can you really find the murderer?"

"The emperor can rest assured, and the concubines don't want to see another wisp of grievances in the harem."

"Yun Ling, the ginger soup that the queen drank was prepared by Kunning Palace? Or did Concubine Xiang bring it? Orange Creek picked up the bowl on the table, sniffed it, and tried it with a silver hairpin, which was not black.

"Back to Concubine Tong, it was prepared by Kunning Palace."

Orange Creek walked to the queen's bed and tried the black blood spit out in the queen's mouth with the silver hairpin, and the silver hairpin instantly turned black. She rummaged under the queen's pillow and found nothing, and just when she was wondering, she saw Yun Ling kneeling beside her, dodging, her face was nervous, and Orange Creek was enlightened. On Yun Ling, she really found the bottle containing the poison, "The emperor's murderer has found it, this is the bottle containing the poison." She handed the bottle to the emperor.

"Bold slave, how dare you poison your master?"

"The emperor spares his life! The slave didn't poison the mother! Yun Ling kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Your Majesty, she is not a murderer, at most she is an accomplice, the queen is the real murderer, and the queen poisoned herself by herself." The room was full of surprise.

"Yingying, are you kidding?"

"It's true, the ginger soup is not poisonous, it means that it was poisoned when drinking, there were two people in the house at that time, except for Concubine Xiang, only the queen herself, with Concubine Xiang in front of her, the queen had no chance to throw away the bottle. But it is also possible that Concubine Xiang poisoned herself, and then put the bottle on the queen, but this bottle is on Yun Ling, which means that they have discussed it in advance, and help the queen hide the evidence of the crime while she is in a panic, do you say I am wrong? Yun Ling? Orange Creek explained the truth in one breath.

Yun Ling panicked and began to plead desperately.

"What a big guts, pull it out and hit forty boards and send it to Xinzheku." Yun Ling was screaming outside, but the emperor still couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart, "But okay, how could the queen commit suicide?" Hongye is still so young, how can she bear it? ”

"Well! The emperor has to ask Imperial Doctor Jane! Orange Creek pointed to Imperial Doctor Jane, who was kneeling on the side, and he didn't dare to breathe.

"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty, he shouldn't hide his illness for the queen's mother, in fact, the queen is terminally ill, even if she doesn't commit suicide, there are only a few days left." Imperial Physician Jian lowered his head and replied, not daring to raise his head.

After hearing this, the emperor did not say a word and went out of the room. He never expected that the usually dignified and virtuous queen would be scheming back then, the wife who had accompanied him for most of his life, until she died, he couldn't see what kind of person she was, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

Xiaobi picked up Concubine Xiang, who was still kneeling, "Thank you sister for saving her life, it will be rewarded one day." ”

"It's okay, you didn't do it in the first place!" After speaking, Yu Lan helped Orange Creek to leave, and everyone dispersed.

On the grounds that he brought the doctor into the palace for Concubine Tong to see her illness, Heber easily brought the doctor into the palace. Looking at the concubines passing by, the doctor was reluctant to blink when he saw it, and Heber slapped him on the head, "Don't bow your head yet, don't die!" Do you dare to look at the emperor's woman? ”

Yixiu lowered his head and touched his head, "It's too domineering, right?" If you can't even see it, can you still see it? ”

"You know what? It's said that a companion is like a tiger, you'd better talk less, if you get into trouble in the palace, I can't protect you. ”

"I know, it's true, I wouldn't have come if I knew it would be so troublesome." The two came to Chuxiu Palace together.

After being informed, the two came to the Orange Creek House, "Heber, you come!" I haven't seen you for a long time, but are you all okay? ”

Before Heber could reply, "Wow! It's a little too luxurious! "I was preempted by the doctor who came out from behind.

"You...... You ......" Yu Lan saw the doctor and pointed at him with her finger, speechless in surprise.

"What are you? How long has it been since I saw him? Don't you know? Yixiu grabbed Yu Lan's raised hand, "Little lady, do you miss me?" ”

Yu Lan shook it off angrily, "Niangniang, look at him, bullying me again." ”

Orange Creek and Heber looked at each other and smiled, "This is the little Engong in the mountains?" ”

Herb nodded in response, and the doctor picked up the cup on the table, and drank it all after a cup of tea, "After walking for half a day, I am thirsty." "Seeing that Heber and Orange Creek were talking, he was wandering around the house by himself, and Yu Lan followed behind him, and he didn't let him touch it, and he didn't let him touch it.

"The queen is dead, you know?" Orange Creek brought a cup of tea and handed it to Heber.

"As soon as I arrived in the palace, I rushed to you, I haven't heard of it, queen, this death, the harem will inevitably set off a bloody storm, Yingying, you have to be careful, now the palace belongs to your most favored favor, it is inevitable to become the target of everyone!" Herb always puts the safety of Orange Creek first.

"Heber, don't worry, I just don't bother to fight them, and now they can't hurt me." For her, who has studied criminal psychology for a year, she can break the small conspiracy and small methods of hundreds of years ago at a glance, and she thinks confidently.

"Hey! I said you just want to chat? I've come all this way and my stomach is still growling with hunger? The doctor interrupted their conversation.

"Hungry? Then let's go back to the General's Palace! ”

"What do you say? Get back? Is there any mistake? With such a big palace, there is nothing to eat at all? "The doctor is not happy.

"How can we have time to eat in the palace, the time for the visit will come soon." The doctor still didn't leave, and he still wanted to live in the palace, and it was not difficult to get an official position in the Tai Hospital with his medical skills, but with his character, it was estimated that ten heads would not be cut off, and Heber still forcibly dragged him out of Chuxiu Palace.

"Little lady, you wait, I will come to see you, one day, I will marry you in a sedan chair." The doctor was pulled backwards by Heber, and did not forget to confess to Yu Lan.

"Yu Lan, this doctor is a pleasant person, and he has medical skills, seeing that he is also in love with you, I have approved your family affairs, okay?" Orange Creek asked Yu Lan with a smile.

"Niangniang, even you have fun with slaves." Yu Lan pouted and ran out of the house angrily.

As soon as the queen died, the concubines in the harem began to move again, and Emperor Yi's concubine was the best candidate for the queen in terms of grade, but there were only five grids under her knees, and childlessness became her biggest obstacle.

Concubine Xiang and Concubine Tong are the two most perfect candidates, with the same grade, and they both have an elder brother under their knees, but when it comes to holy favors, of course, Concubine Tong Orange Creek dumped Concubine Xiang several streets.

The rest is the childless Li Shuyi, no matter what, it seems that she is not one of the queen's candidates, but she does not let go of the last hope, she has the idea of adopting Hongye.

There are also some unfavored, low-grade, and concubines who have children under their knees, of course they will not come to fight for the position of queen that they can't get, but they are not idle, to see who is the most powerful, who can ascend to the queen's throne, stand in line in advance, and find the right backer, so as to ensure that they can spend the second half of their lives safely.

"Niangniang, you haven't thought about being a queen either?" Yu Lan asked Orange Creek in a low voice.

Orange Creek thought about it for a long time, it is not a good thing to be able to be a queen, at least she can be fair and impartial, so that the harem will have less struggle, let the harem have fewer unjust souls, let Hongday's father feel at ease in state affairs, and let Xiaohongday grow up safely, "Of course I want to, why don't you want to, one person is above ten thousand people." "In modern times, it can be regarded as the chairman's wife, something that I would never dream of before, but now that I have the opportunity, why not grasp it?

Yu Lan didn't believe it, she usually never competed for fame and fortune in her eyes, how could she care, "Niangniang, the slave is becoming more and more incomprehensible to you." ”

"Talk less, do more, you see, what kind of bun you combed me, crooked." Orange Creek faced herself in the bronze mirror and helped the headdress on her head, although she was very reluctant to wear a headgear full of unsightly headgear every day, but helplessly, if she didn't top it, she would commit a crime, so she could only barely hold it! I really don't know what kind of aesthetic this is, it's called living sin.

"Your Majesty, Li Shuyi is waiting outside with a ginseng tea!" Chen Gonggong entered the house to report.

"Let her in!"

"Whoa"

Li Shuyi and Liu Er, who was carrying tea, entered the hall, "Respectfully invite the emperor to Sheng'an." The emperor looked at the fold in his hand, raised his hand to signal her to flatten, she took the tea in Liu Er's hand, and asked Liu Er to withdraw from the hall, "Your Majesty, the ginseng tea prepared for you by the concubine, you can drink it while it's hot!" It's late at night, and the emperor has to pay attention to his body. ”

"Put it there! What are you looking for? The emperor didn't take the tea in her hand, and still concentrated on reading the folds.

"Your Majesty, you see that the twelve elder brothers are still so young, they have to have someone to raise them well, the sisters and sisters in each palace have heirs, but the concubines are ashamed and failed to give birth to heirs for the emperor, so the concubines want to raise the twelve elder brothers for the emperor to make up for the guilt of the concubines, and ask the emperor for permission."

When the emperor heard it, it was indeed a serious matter, and he thought that he was here to invite pets again, so he put down the fold in his hand, picked up the ginseng tea and drank it while walking, "Thanks to Li Shuyi, you reminded me, I almost forgot about it, as for who will raise Hongye, I think about it first, since I have come, don't leave tonight, I don't bother to turn over the brand." ”

"Emperor Xie, the concubines obey the order!" Li Shuyi smiled so hard that she couldn't close her mouth.

The next day, when he learned that the queen had returned to heaven, Lord Wu entered the palace to face the saint, firstly to see his daughter for the last time, and secondly, to do what his daughter's letter requested.

"Chancellor Uke Saha, see the emperor." As soon as Lord Wu came, he knelt on the ground and made a big salute to the emperor.

The emperor hurriedly came to help, "Lord Wu, please get up quickly, and please mourn." ”

Master Wu touched his tears and said, "Birth, old age, sickness and death, it is normal for people to come, only blame God for asking me to send a white-haired person to a black-haired person, in this way, I am afraid that I have wronged the twelve elder brothers." ”

"I'm also worried, who will I give Hongye to raise."

"The minister has a reluctant request, begging the emperor, for the sake of the queen's dedication to serving for many years, to agree to the minister's request." Soon the Wu people introduced the main topic.

"Urus-sama, please speak."

"The minister has a little girl, her conduct and appearance are acceptable, she is twelve years old, and she will be selected by the palace in the next year, and she is also among the palace candidates, and the minister wants to ask the emperor to make an exception for the little girl to enter the palace in advance, so that it can also be convenient to take care of the twelve elder brothers."

Looking at Lord Wu, thinking about what the queen had done for him in the Yongwang Mansion before, it was difficult for the emperor to refuse, so he responded to Lord Wu's request.
