He conspired against her in his previous life, and he flirted with her on their wedding night again

Shoukang Palace.

The Queen Mother sat on the phoenix chair, holding her forehead with her hands, while the palace maid knelt on the ground and beat her legs.

Aunt Zhao stepped forward and called softly, "The Queen Mother..."

The Queen Mother didn't open her eyes, "Is the matter done?"

Aunt Zhao said, "Something went wrong."

The Queen Mother frowned, "If you point out a grave, something could go wrong?"

Aunt Zhao whispered, "Concubine Chen's tomb is empty..."

empty? !

The Queen Mother's eyes suddenly opened, "What's going on?"

Aunt Zhao shook her head. She wished she knew what was going on. Even if she had a guess, she didn't dare to say anything.

The Queen Mother's face was gloomy, and Aunt Zhao said cautiously, "Where is Prince Ling..."

Prince Ling wanted to know where Concubine Chen was buried before he was willing to give him the drawings of the Xizhou Dam and other evidence. Now that Concubine Chen's body has disappeared, it may be that she buried Concubine Chen in front of her, and her body was later found. Taken away, it would be harder to find Concubine Chen's body than to investigate the Xizhou Dam embezzlement case.

There was suppressed anger in the eyes of the Queen Mother, and she was still a little exhausted. She waved her hands and said, "Let the emperor find a way. He will not ignore the important affairs of the court."

……

In the room, Shen Wan was reading a book, but she was absent-minded and didn't turn a page for a long time.

A familiar and urgent sound of footsteps came, and Shen Wan glanced over to see Xie Jingyan walking in.

Shen Wan quickly put down the book and was about to get off the couch. Xie Jingyan stepped forward and said urgently, "How did you know that it was an empty tomb?"

I am really afraid of what will happen.

Shen Wan said, "In my dream, my third cousin later built Taoxiang Residence in Taolin and wanted to move the tomb. When it was dug up, it was an empty tomb..."

"The maid told me that my mother-in-law was buried in the peach forest. I was afraid it was that one, so I asked Chen Yu to remind you."

She didn't dig it out in front of Eunuch Yuan and Aunt Zhao, because she was afraid that they would deny her account afterwards.

Xie Jingyan's voice was slightly trembling, "Do you know where my mother and concubine were taken away and buried?"

Shen Wan shook his head.

If she wanted to know, she must have told Xie Jingyan long ago.

No, she never thought that Xie Jingyan would not know where Concubine Chen was buried.

How could someone take Concubine Chen’s body away?

As far as she knew, there were more than 200 people in Concubine Chen's natal family, Mrs. Yan's house, including the infants, and all of them were wiped out.

Xie Jingyan lost Concubine Chen, and at the same time he lost the emperor's favor for him. He just wanted to pay homage to Concubine Chen at her grave, but he couldn't do it. This was too cruel for him.

Shen Wan didn't know how to comfort Xie Jingyan, so she could only hug him tightly. Dong'er walked in from outside. Seeing this scene, she turned her back and said, "Your Majesty, the eldest prince is here."

"not see!"

Xie Jingyan's tone was cold and hard.

The eldest prince's visit to Prince Ling's Mansion at this time was definitely not to comfort Xie Jingyan. He was only here to get evidence such as the design drawings and account books of the Xizhou Dam.

Xie Jingyanti's conditions were not met, and he had nothing to say if he didn't give it to the eldest prince.

However, the eldest prince is not in a hurry. Although Xie Jingyan repeatedly rejected the emperor and did not want to investigate the Xizhou Dam case, he kept relevant evidence one after another. It can be seen that he also wanted to investigate the Xizhou Dam corruption case. To prevent Xie Jingyin from competing for the position of crown prince, after all, if Xie Jingyin wants to sit in that position, he will not treat Prince Ling and Princess Ling well. And he and Prince Ling and Princess Ling do not have a deep hatred. Even if they are not reused, at least they will not be too embarrassed.

The eldest prince came to visit, but did not even see Xie Jingyan's face, and returned without success.

After lunch, Shen Wan rested for a while, and had just undressed and gone to bed, ready to take a nap when Chun'er came in from outside and said, "Princess, Eunuch Yuan is here."

Shen Wan didn't think much about it and just assumed that Eunuch Yuan was here to see Xie Jingyan. If she couldn't sleep, she would definitely go and listen, but she had taken off her clothes and it was important to sleep.

Shen Wan thought so, but Chun'er said, "Princess, Eunuch Yuan is here to see you."

Shen Wan, "...???"

Shen Wan was stunned.

Didn't Eunuch Yuan come to persuade Xie Jingyan to hand over the design drawings of the Xizhou Dam?

Why did you come to find her?

Could it be that he knew he wouldn't be able to see Xie Jingyan, so he started from her in a roundabout way...

Eunuch Yuan was a popular person around the emperor. Even her father had to give him some face when he saw him, let alone her. Shen Wan opened the quilt, and Yin Shuang helped put on the skirts she had just taken off one by one. Fortunately, I had just fallen asleep, so my hair was not messy and I didn't need to comb it again.

But even so, Eunuch Yuan was still made to wait in the main hall for a long time.

When Shen Wan walked in, Eunuch Yuan stood up and said, "I'm disturbing the princess from her nap."

Shen Wan said, "I kept Eunuch Yuan waiting for so long. I wonder why Eunuch Yuan is looking for me?"

As Shen Wan guessed, Eunuch Yuan was the one who found Shen Wan for the drawings of the Xizhou Dam. Eunuch Yuan sighed, "I thought it would be easy to meet Prince Ling's conditions, but who would have thought..."

"The Xizhou Dam was blown up before the floods could overflow. Emperor Long Yan was furious and wanted to find out whether there was any corruption in it. However, all the evidence preserved by the Ministry of Industry was destroyed. Fortunately, King Ling We have taken precautions in advance so that this corruption case will be made public one day. However, Prince Ling’s conditions will definitely not be met in a short period of time. I also asked Princess Ling to help persuade Prince Ling to prioritize important matters in the court."

Shen Wan glanced at Yin Shuang, who dismissed all the maids and servants waiting in the main hall.

After everyone left, Shen Wan looked at Eunuch Yuan and asked, "I hope Eunuch Yuan can tell me what Concubine Chen committed back then."

Eunuch Yuan was stunned, "The prince didn't tell the princess?"

"...I didn't dare to ask the prince," Shen Wan said truthfully.

Mr. Yuan said fairly, "My dear, my dear, the matter concerning Concubine Chen concerns the Emperor's face. The Queen Mother has also issued a silence order. I forgive this old slave for not daring to say anything."

Almost all the people who knew about Concubine Chen back then were silenced, and the rest were confidants. If they were not sure that the secret would not be leaked, they would not be able to escape death.

Eunuch Yuan didn't dare to say it, and Shen Wan didn't even dare to. Eunuch Yuan came to her to persuade Xie Jingyan. Even if the emperor didn't ask him to do it, at least the emperor knew that he had to give it. Besides, the evidence had to be given out, but Xie Jingyan wanted to take this opportunity to know the burial place of Concubine Chen. Normally, the emperor would never tell him.

If Concubine Chen is mentioned, the emperor will kick her out of the palace.

However, the plan cannot keep up with the changes...

The evidence must be given, but it cannot be given too easily. If you can't do it by worshiping Concubine Chen, you can still make other demands.

Shen Wan said, "Eunuch Yuan knows the prince's temperament. The prince just wants to pay homage to Concubine Chen. This request is not too much, but he did not expect that someone would take away Concubine Chen's body. I hope the emperor can allow the prince to investigate this matter."

Eunuch Yuan didn't even report this condition to the emperor, but directly agreed on his behalf, "The emperor is also furious about this matter. If the prince investigates, the emperor will not stop it."

Shen Wan continued, "I also hope that the emperor will give Concubine Chen's belongings to the prince, so that the prince can miss his family after seeing the things."

"This is human nature, but... I'm afraid the emperor won't agree," Eunuch Yuan was confused.

Shen Wan said, "Something happened to the Xizhou Dam. Your Majesty informed the Emperor very early. He didn't hide anything. He also handed over the backup design drawings and account books. Your Majesty has done everything he should do, and he is worthy of the Emperor and the people of Xizhou." .”

The tone is gentle, but the attitude is firm.

Eunuch Yuan sighed inwardly, stood up and said, "Old slave, please go back and persuade the emperor."
