"Your Majesty, Concubine Ning will see you." The chamberlain whispered.

The atmosphere in the imperial study was condensed, and Shang Shu of the Criminal Department was waiting for the emperor's decree, and suddenly heard the words of the inner servant, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"Let her in." The emperor said sharply.

The chamberlain went down to pass the word, and after a while, he slowly walked into the door with Concubine Ning.

Concubine Ning walked very slowly, very solemnly, every step of the way was steady, she could be a favorite concubine in the harem for so many years, even if she was flustered and resentful, the expression on her face was as peaceful as ever, and she walked very steadily in these few steps.

"The concubine has seen the emperor." Concubine Ning stepped forward and knelt down to salute.

"What happened to the concubine?" The emperor asked with a gloomy face, Shangshu of the Criminal Department had just entered the palace to report the matter, and Concubine Ning actually rushed over, which originally explained the problem.

"The concubine just passed in front of the Fengyi Palace, and I heard the two palace people say that the concubine was the person behind the Ning clan of the Marquis of Zhengyuan, and the concubine didn't know what the specific matter was, so she hurriedly came over to report to the emperor." Concubine Ning's eyes were slightly red, her head was lowered, and her voice was gloomy, "Concubine Ning doesn't know what went wrong."

As a favorite concubine, she has been able to be pampered for so many years without children, and she also has some understanding of the emperor's thoughts, especially in the matter of Zhengyuan Marquis's Mansion.

If there is anyone who does not want this matter to be a harem matter, it is the emperor.

Quietly pulled the queen in, Concubine Ning didn't think there was anything wrong, she didn't believe that the queen would not know about it, and now I am afraid that she is secretly having fun in Fengyi Palace.

I didn't expect the queen to actually put such an army of herself, this is to force herself to death, how could Concubine Ning be willing to be framed by the queen like this, and when she came up, she pulled the queen in first.

"What did the palace people at the Queen's say so?" The emperor asked with a cold face.

"The concubine couldn't hear clearly, and the concubine was terrified, and she only hoped to ...... I just hope nothing bad happens." Concubine Ning bowed down and trembled slightly, she was originally thin, which would make her look even more pitiful.

"Do you recognize the two palace people?" Although the emperor's face was gloomy, his voice softened a little.

"The concubine didn't dare, the concubine only heard it from afar, and she didn't see a figure through the wall, and when she stopped for a while and then passed, there was no one."

Concubine Ning was extremely aggrieved, and she also made the image of a suppressed concubine sufficient.

She was facing the queen's people, so she didn't dare to act rashly, but because this matter was related to herself, even if she just couldn't hear it clearly, she hurried to the emperor to report it, for fear of causing trouble.

The emperor didn't want Concubine Ning to fight with the queen, even if he favored Concubine Ning again, he used to be extremely unhappy with Concubine Ning when he talked about the queen.

This is also the most important reason why Concubine Ning has not been able to move the queen for many years.

It's not that I haven't tried, but in the end it didn't work, the emperor has great trust in the queen, if she says too much, it will make the emperor angry.

"And what are you doing here?" The emperor asked coldly.

"Concubine...... The concubine came to explain the relationship with the Ning clan of the Marquis of Zhengyuan." Concubine Ning behaved seamlessly, and then smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, do you remember the serious illness of the concubine's biological mother before?"

Concubine Ning reported this, and the emperor also sent a doctor over at that time.

"There is this!"

"The concubine is in the harem, she can't serve her biological mother, and she is ashamed of her biological mother's nurturing grace, Concubine Ning helped the concubine fulfill her filial piety at that time, and let the Ning family enter the palace because she is kind to the concubine, if it weren't for her dedication to serving her mother, her mother would probably be ...... now."

Ning couldn't say anything when he said this, and two lines of tears slipped down his face, "Your Majesty, no matter what kind of person Ning is, what she did wrong, at least she is kind to her concubines."

I couldn't deny it, so I simply admitted it.

Especially at this time, people should know their gratitude, and the explanation is also from the level of gratitude, this is the countermeasure that Concubine Ning thought of when she came all the way.

Some things can't be relied upon, but some things can be explained in a roundabout way.

"Your Majesty, the Ning family is either really bad, or she has ulterior motives for her concubines, but her kindness to her concubines, the concubines also remember, even now...... She is no longer there, but she was really kind to her concubine at that time, such as

This great favor, the concubine can't go unpunished, she can only reward her."

Concubine Ning raised her eyes to look at the emperor, and her voice choked: "The concubine really doesn't know, what's wrong with this?" Is it because the concubine rewarded the Ning family? But the Ning family is really kind to the concubine, the concubine is not filial, and she can't be with her seriously ill mother, and it is the mother who the Ning family specially went to the mansion to accompany her."

The imperial study was very quiet, and the emperor pondered quietly.

The Shangshu of the Criminal Department frowned, Concubine Ning's words actually sounded very reasonable.

But I always feel that something is wrong, after all, it is an old criminal name, and I still feel a little abnormal for this kind of specious and secretly changing the concept of explanation.

However, this was not the time for him to speak, and the criminal department Shangshu just listened quietly.

"Ning and you...... Is it just such a relationship?" The emperor finally spoke, his voice suppressed.

"Yes, Your Majesty, if you don't believe it, you can check, the concubine and the Ning family are a little familiar with their mother's affairs, and some of the rewards after that are also due to their mother."

Ning's is categorical.

The emperor was silent again.

Concubine Ning trembled slightly, and her face gradually turned pale: "Your Majesty...... Isn't it...... Is someone going to frame a concubine with the matter of Zhengyuan Marquis's Mansion? The concubine is just a concubine, and she usually only rewards others at most, and has no contact with the outside of the palace, and her mother's family is ruined, and neither of her parents and brothers is particularly promising......

These words were very self-pitying, and finally tears fell in strings, and she mourned: "Your Majesty, the concubine is just a weak woman, and I am fortunate to meet the emperor...... Otherwise...... Otherwise, the concubines are probably no longer in this world, the concubines have no heirs, and they have not given birth to a son and a half daughter for the emperor, and it is the fault of the concubines."

After the last sentence was finished, it was already a cry of mourning, and not giving birth to an heir was the real pain of Concubine Ning.

The so-called expensive is indescribable, if it corresponds to not giving birth to a son and a half daughter, Concubine Ning really has no advantage.

Is it indescribably just a concubine?

After the Criminal Department Shangshu tasted the product, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, this matter was not as easy to do as he imagined, and it seemed a little wrong to say that Concubine Ning was unspeakably expensive.

Who is unspeakably expensive in the harem, the queen or the queen mother? Or the concubines who gave birth to heirs, after all, their identities may be the queen mother in the future!

Thinking about it this way, Concubine Ning's possibilities are much less, a favorite concubine who has not given birth to an heir is just a favorite concubine, and there is no future.

Before entering the palace, I felt that it must be Concubine Ning, but at this time, even the Shangshu of the Criminal Department felt that this "unspeakably expensive" may not be Concubine Ning.

The Shangshu of the Criminal Department thinks so, and the emperor thinks so too.

"Since this matter has nothing to do with you, let's go back first." The emperor opened his mouth, his voice was a little soothing, and he no longer looked like a sinking face, obviously believing what Concubine Ning said.

"The concubine retired." Concubine Ning accepted it when she saw it, wiped her tears, and saluted the emperor again, then helped the palace maid to get up and left the imperial study aggrieved.

Waiting for Concubine Ning to retreat, the emperor raised his eyes and looked at Shang Shu of the Criminal Department: "What does Aiqing think?"

"Possibly...... It's nothing to do with Concubine Ning." The criminal department Shangshu smiled bitterly, now it is just a plausible word, he can't be sure at all.

If you really talk about several concubines in the harem, it may be possible.

"Although Concubine Ning and the Ning family are sisters of the same clan, they have no contact before, and they did only come and go when Concubine Ning's biological mother was seriously ill.

The emperor snorted coldly.

In a word, the "unspeakably expensive" has been lowered by another level, and it is just a "self-proclaim".

"Professing" is self-righteousness, not really "unspeakable".

This enlarges the scope from the root again, and some ambitious women can also claim to be noble......

Or maybe they will have a chance to climb in the future!

After being stunned for a moment, Shangshu of the Criminal Department suddenly reacted: "Your Majesty, can Weichen check the Duanwang and Yongwang's mansion?"

If you zoom in on the range, it's not just staring at the harem, it's the queen of several princes

It is also highly likely.

The storage position has not been established, and in the backyard of the prince, is there also an ambitious woman stirring up the wind and waves inside? Thinking about it like this, Duanwangfu is the most suspicious.

Yongwangfu has only entered a concubine now, or a person with no foundation, from a small place, in order to save his father made a lot of trouble, it can be seen that he really has no strength, otherwise he would not have made such a scene, and now there are many people who faintly suspect that this woman has ulterior motives.

But one thing is for sure, this woman can't be the person behind the Ning family.

And several of Duanwang, especially Duanwang Zhengfei, if they talk about it, they may actually call themselves "unspeakably expensive", thinking of this, the face of the criminal department Shangshu changed greatly, but he had to ask where his responsibilities were.

"Go and check, no matter which house this matter is, you can check it clearly, a Ning family, a person behind the Ning family, is actually involved in the affairs of the Anguo Mansion." The emperor stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and the whole person who could be seen in his eyes was out of spirit, if it weren't for the fact that the Shangshu of the Criminal Department had been there, he almost felt that the whole person had changed.

The spirit is not at all, even if you are sitting, you look a little crooked.

Knowing that the emperor had no spirit, the criminal department did not dare to stay any longer, and bowed respectfully and then retreated.

I met a woman at the door, with a brilliant complexion, dignified and beautiful, followed by the waiter, who was holding a bowl covered with red silk in her hand, but it was not the previous Concubine Ning.

Shangshu of the Criminal Department stepped aside, saw the waiter leading the woman in, glanced at it quietly, and strode out, this matter does not look easy, especially the one involved is relatively large......

"Unspeakably expensive?" Yu Yuxi almost thought that he had misheard, and looked at the person sent by Duanwangfu in amazement.

The one sent by Duanwangfu was a mother-in-law, sent by Zhang Wanyin.

Seeing Yu Yuxi asking repeatedly, he said, "The side concubine Niangniang said very much, the prince and the princess have heard the unspeakable saying that it is expensive, and I don't know what kind of woman can be called indescribable."

When she said this, the mother-in-law was smiling, but she didn't smile when she looked at her.
