The concubine has a lot of eyes and ears in the palace, even if she is losing power now, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, these small fish and shrimp are here, will Concubine Zheng hear the news?

The emperor's face changed slightly, and he acquiesced to Concubine Qin's actions.

However, before the palace maid beside Concubine Qin ran out of the door of Shoukang Palace, she saw the palace maid of Zhongcui Palace enter the door and bow.

"Your Majesty forgives me, our mother has something to delay, and she will come later."

Changning sneered.

"What is more important than serving the imperial grandmother, and what trick is the concubine playing?"

The emperor's face was not good, and he scolded angrily: "I have forgotten the rules in the palace, it seems that she has done enough as a concubine!" ”

"Your Majesty is angry, Your Majesty is angry, our mother is really suffering." The little palace maid kowtowed frequently.

Changning believed her words.

Concubine Zheng Guifei is a human spirit, if she does not have enough to "convince" her father's hardship, she will never act rashly.

It's just that at this time, Changning doesn't plan to give her this opportunity.

"Bastard! What kind of hardship do you know about this little palace maid, the imperial grandmother is both the elder and her mother-in-law, the concubine's trip is against filial piety, is it possible that she resents her father and refuses to admit that she is the daughter-in-law of the imperial grandmother? ”

The little palace maid was frightened by Changning's reprimand, and subconsciously said: "No, no, it's seven ......."

"What's your turn to say?" Changning drank vigorously, "Let Concubine Zheng Guifei personally explain to the imperial grandmother's bedside." ”

The emperor also narrowed his eyes, waved his hand and asked the guards to drag the little palace maid down.

Concubine Qin's face was complicated.

Changning's move is just a delaying tactic, and Zheng Guifei's reason is not said at this time, which does not mean that she can't say it later, unless, Changning can directly extinguish Zheng Guifei's mouth, so that she can't say the reason at all.

Concubine Qin was shocked.

No, although the eldest princess is powerful, she still relies on the majesty of His Majesty, and His Majesty did not order the execution of Concubine Zheng, who can take Concubine Zheng Guifei.

Changning turned his head to look at the emperor: "Father, the phoenix seal was originally placed here by Erchen, and it is difficult for the minister to take the blame for this kind of thing, so leave this matter to Erchen for thorough investigation." ”

The Emperor looked at Changning.

"You still have affairs in the foreign court, and it doesn't hurt to hand over this matter to Concubine Qin for investigation."

"If you find one in the end, wouldn't it be troublesome, Erchen still ask yourself to investigate." Changning added.

The emperor frowned: "What does Changning mean by this, do you think this matter has something to do with the concubine?" ”

"If it has nothing to do with it, how can the concubine have such negligence." Changning smiled meaningfully.

The Emperor narrowed his eyes.

He naturally knew that the concubine must have "hardships", but this timing was too coincidental, and it was difficult to ensure that it was not a situation that people deliberately arranged.

"Okay, I'll leave it to ......"

"Your Majesty, all the people who handled the phoenix hairpin have been found out, and they are now gathered." Fu'an presented a roster.

Poisoning and framing the Queen Mother is not trivial, and the people below will naturally be 10,000 careful when doing things, and quickly submit the list.

The emperor handed the list to Changning and ordered her to check it.

But he didn't leave, he sat in the main hall of Shoukang Palace, watching Changning interrogate everyone.

The phoenix hairpin was placed in a tray and presented by a small eunuch on his knees.

Changning put on the silk gloves given by the imperial doctor, picked up the phoenix hairpin, and faced the light, the golden phoenix the size of half a palm shone brightly, and he couldn't see anything unusual.

"You have all handled this phoenix hairpin, just tell me, who has seen anything abnormal?"

Changning asked, and the more than 30 palace maids and eunuchs below looked at each other, and knelt down to cry out for injustice.

They knew very well that if they couldn't find the person who poisoned them, none of them would be able to escape, and they would all have to be buried for that person.

Changning was silent, put down Feng Hai and looked at them.

It didn't take long for some people to start under pressure and testify indiscriminately.

Changning listened to their nonsense, his eyes suddenly froze, and he turned the first page of the roster, which clearly stated that there were thirty-five people handling Fengchai.

But now there are only thirty-four kneeling people underground.

She immediately rummaged through it.

But I found a name that was all too familiar in the roster.

Pillow.

The blind thief even handled this hairpin!

Changning's heart was full of alarm bells.

She doesn't believe in coincidences.

The blind thief entered the palace for only half a month, and entered the Shang Decoration Division with the ability to appreciate treasures, but he was just a low-level miscellaneous palace maid.

This kind of palace maid can't even send jewelry to her Weiyang Palace, and she still wants to send a phoenix hairpin to the Queen Mother, which is impossible.

And since this matter is debatable, it is the biggest doubt.

Once it is introduced, neither she nor the five princes can get out.

After all, the blind thief entered the palace with the jade pendant of the five princes, and the blind thief disappeared out of the palace with her token.

Changning suddenly smiled, and the hidden net in his mind was about to come out.

What a brilliant idea.

Concubine Zheng is worthy of being the person who fought with her for nearly two years in her previous life.

Changning turned the page of Mu Pillow, looked at all the names in the back, and closed the roster.

She looked closely, and sure enough, there were thieves among the kneeling people who secretly glanced at her.

"You, you want to see the booklet in Hongu's hand?"

"Slaves don't dare, slaves don't dare." The palace maid kowtowed again and again, "It's just ......"

"Just what?"

The palace maid stammered: "It's just that the slave maid was the palace maid who was responsible for sending the phoenix hairpin over that day, but on that day, the person who originally sent the phoenix hairpin with the slave and maid was not here." ”

Changning smiled.

Sure enough, it was airtight, and Concubine Zheng was afraid that she would take this job and suppress the matter, so she deliberately asked the palace maid to shake things out.

The emperor raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who is it?" ”

"Her name is Mu Zhen, and she is the miscellaneous palace maid of our Shang Decoration Division."

The fifth prince was originally standing on the side, and when he heard the sound, his face changed suddenly, and he almost exclaimed.

Concubine Qin also clenched her veil.

She remembered the name.

She hurriedly exchanged glances with Changning, not understanding how this matter could involve Mu Zhen.

"This palace saw it, but this palace didn't understand, Mu Zhen was just a little handyman palace maid, how to give things to the imperial grandmother." Changning asked directly.

The fifth prince couldn't help but stand up: "The stakes are very high, don't talk nonsense." ”

Changning sighed in his heart, the Fifth Emperor Brother was still a little immature after all.

Standing up now, wouldn't it make my father suspicious?

But Changning still expressed her admiration for the choice of the five princes, and dared to act boldly, just like her brother.

"This palace remembers that only palace maids of the second rank and above can enter and leave Shoukang Palace, don't you Shang Decoration Division people follow the rules?"

Concubine Qin's words were cleverly answered, and with her opening, the words of the five princes were not abrupt.

"The slave and maid don't dare to lie, it was indeed Mu Zhen and the slave who went to send Feng Hai that day, and the slave and maid did not touch Feng Hai, they were all held by Mu Zhen alone." The palace maid was in a hurry to defend herself, obviously wanting to get out.

Changning raised his eyebrows: "Look at your service, you are a second-class palace maid, how can you be willing to live under others?" ”

"This ...... The slave did not dare to speak. The palace maid winced and glanced up, and the direction included Changning, the fifth prince and Concubine Qin.

This eye is obviously more poisonous than a knife.

The emperor's gaze fell on the three of them because of this.

"Say." The emperor snorted.

The palace maid kowtowed: "Your Majesty Mingjian, the grandmothers said that Mu Pillow is five...... The people of the Five Highnesses, so they have to leave the opportunity to show their faces to Mu Zhen, slave maid...... The slave did not dare to rob His Highness's people. ”

"Presumptuous!" The emperor stood up and turned to the five princes: "What do you call the people of the five highnesses?" ”
