After returning to the palace, Prince Xiang's brows furrowed for several days, and Princess Xiang couldn't help but ask: "What's the matter with the prince? Isn't what Prince Alcohol asked the prince to do? Why are you still depressed?"

"The princess doesn't know, that Chen Rui is making a lot of nonsense in the imperial study, and he can't get along with Prince Alcohol everywhere, but the Empress Dowager and His Majesty are biased and biased, and they are very protective of this person, and the king is afraid that there are such traitors running rampant in the court and causing trouble. ”

"The prince is too worried, and he is just a dog beside the emperor in arrogance, can he bite his master?" Princess Xiang comforted.

"That being said, I'm afraid that he will be unfavorable to Prince Alcohol, so forget it, I'll give him a letter of resignation and let him pay more attention. King Xiang muttered in his mouth, and walked towards the study.

At this time, a major event occurred in the harem that shocked the whole court.

As the virtuous concubine of Emperor Jingyuan, Tang Wan'er, who was already pregnant for several months, was feeding the fish in the lake in the imperial garden when she accidentally fell and the baby boy who had been pregnant for more than five months was not saved.

Emperor Jingyuan was furious, the blood in the palace was like a river, everyone was in danger, and he ordered the Praetorian Guards to take strict care of the palaces where the concubines lived, and be sure to find out the details of the matter.

In the Qianqiu Palace, the bloodless concubine's eyes widened, and tears slipped down her cheeks.

"Mother, don't be sad, be careful of your body. The personal palace maid Zijuan wiped the tears in her eyes and carefully comforted.

She knew how much Miss was looking forward to this upcoming child, and now that the child was gone, the pain in Miss's heart could be imagined.

"The Queen Mother has arrived!"

"The Queen Mother is Chitose. ”

"How's Concubine Xian?"

"Queen Mother, Niangniang, she still hasn't eaten. Zijuan cautiously returned.

The Queen Mother walked to the bed, looked at the slumped Concubine Xian and said bitterly: "Concubine Xian, you are still young, when the imperial doctors take care of your body, there will be children with Your Majesty in the future, how can you spoil your body like this!"

"Auntie, my child is gone because someone murdered me, and I hope that my aunt and grandmother can find out the murderer!" Tang Wan'er called the old name of the Queen Mother, hoping that the Queen Mother would have more pity and vent her anger for herself.

"This palace knows that His Majesty has strictly ordered the forbidden army to look for the murderer in the palaces, so you can wait with peace of mind, Your Majesty will definitely find out the murderer and give you anger!"

"What you need to do now is to take care of your body with peace of mind, and you will have your own emperor in the future. ”

The Queen Mother is not sad and sad, what if she becomes the Queen Mother, what if her grandson becomes the emperor, the Queen Mother is in control of the harem, the Queen Mother is completely overhead and is called by the Queen Mother to serve from time to time, and the Queen Mother is not sulking for this matter.

Tang Wan'er's birth is already one step too late for the queen, but she is pregnant, if she gives birth to a prince, who may not be able to laugh at the end in the future, but now that the child is gone, it is too late to say anything.

"Why did you go to the lake that day?"

Concubine Xian recalled vigorously: "The concubine heard that a new batch of brocade carp came in and wanted to take a look, but when she got to the lake, she didn't know how to slip on the soles of her feet, if it weren't for the fast eyes of the purple juan, the concubine might have fallen into the lake, but Rao is like this, or sit on the ground with a butt, the emperor ...... My miserable emperor......"

Empress Dowager Tang had heard these words countless times, and Empress Dowager Tang stroked her forehead and asked, "Have you found anything else?"

"Anything else?" Concubine Xian's mind was at a loss, and she didn't know what to do, and there was a moment of confusion that she cared about something else.

"Empress Dowager Qiyu, the slave seems to smell the smell of pine oil?"

The Empress Dowager Tang felt a pang in her heart, the women in the harem used any means in order to compete for favor, but Concubine Xian was obviously the person she wanted to protect and made this big mistake, this is not a clear indication that she did not put the palace in her eyes, the anger in the queen mother's heart burst out, and she chased after Zijuan and continued to ask: "Is this true?"

"It was too chaotic at the time, and the slave didn't remember it too clearly, but now that I think about it carefully, it does smell of pine oil. ”

"Come on, send the servants who were on duty in the imperial garden that day directly to the worship room!" Mrs. Tang ordered directly with anger in the back, if you don't die, you have to take off your skin if you don't die, see if this group of minions still say it, those who dare to touch the palace will definitely have to pay the price!

"Okay, this matter is up to the palace and the emperor to make decisions for you, you can rest at ease, take care of your body, and you can't do without food. The Empress Dowager Tang said, waved her hand and asked someone to bring a tonic soup, waiting for Concubine Xian to use it.

The Empress Dowager Tang went straight to Chaoyang Palace out of the Qianqiu Palace, and Emperor Jingyuan heard that the Empress Dowager had arrived, so he hurriedly got up to greet him: "Why did the Queen Mother come over today?"

After the Empress Dowager Tang entered the palace, she adhered to the ancestral precept that the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, and she had hardly set foot in the imperial study.

"This palace came out of Concubine Xian just now, Your Majesty, Concubine Xian said that she had smelled the smell of pine oil that day, and this palace wanted to inform Your Majesty, lest these thieves take advantage of the loophole. ”

"Is the queen mother saying that someone really plotted to kill the fetus in the womb of Concubine Xian?" Emperor Jing Yuan was surprised in his heart, he ordered a thorough investigation of the harem that day just for the sake of the heart of the queen mother and the concubine, Emperor Jing Yuan never thought that there was really someone so bold, and he dared to stretch out his hand in the harem, and murdering the emperor's heir was a big crime of raiding the family and destroying the door, who was so bold!

"Go and call Commander Li!"

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother!"

"Commander Li, Concubine Xian smelled the smell of pine oil in the Imperial Garden that day, and now the people on duty in the Imperial Garden are all imprisoned in the worship room, I order you to interrogate and find out the people behind the murder of Concubine Xian!"

Concubine Xian won the favor of Emperor Jing Yuan, and she also attached great importance to the child in her womb, originally thought it was an accidental loss, but she didn't expect that someone behind the scenes would stretch out a black hand, how could she not make Emperor Jing Yuan angry.

"The last general commands!"

"How's it going, sir?"

"What are your Majesty's arrangements for calling your lordship?"

A group of people gathered around Commander Li and kept asking.

"Fuck off, don't you see that you're annoying?" Commander Li scolded irritably, and a group of people left in a huff.

"Zhang Yanchong stop me!"

Hearing the adults calling him, Zhang Yanchong returned excitedly and asked, "What do you command?"

"Come with me to the worship room. ”

Zhang Yanchong had been in the forbidden army for several years, and he was tired and tired of doing dirty work, without any bad problems of extravagance among the children of official families, and was deeply appreciated by Commander Li and was promoted to deputy commander.

Before the two of them arrived, they could hear the suppressed screams and the sound of leather whips entering flesh coming from the worship room.

Entering the room, the disgusting smell of blood permeated the surroundings, and Commander Li covered his nose and asked, "How is it?"

"My lord, this group of people has too hard mouths, and no one has confessed so far!"

Commander Li frowned, either he was hard-mouthed or it was really not this group of people who did it, and whether he could produce a result or not depends on the interrogator's methods.

"My lord, this place is filthy, so let the last general keep an eye on it here. Zhang Yanchong straightened his back and walked out.

"It's okay, come out with a result as soon as possible, Your Majesty is still waiting for us to reply. ”
