The charming empress is too good at fishing, and the ruthless emperor has fallen

Concubine Ning nodded to her almost invisible.

The tension in Jing Shu's heart suddenly relaxed.

Although Xu Liangdi always made trouble for her in the past, after all, it was just words and never harmed her. And since she cooperated with Concubine Ning, Xu Liangdi's attitude towards her has been 180 degrees different. Turning around can be said to be a lot more respectful.

From the bottom of her heart, she didn't want anything to happen to Xu Liangdi.

Fortunately, everything went according to plan.

At this time, Xuanchun Hall was almost surrounded by people on three levels inside and three levels outside.

Jing Shu squeezed through the crowd and saw Lu Zan and the Queen sitting on the main seats, Concubine Xie sitting at the bottom, Concubine Ning opposite her, and the other concubines on both sides.

In the middle, a corpse was covered with a white cloth, and beside him knelt the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Yan Chongyuan, Eunuch Yan.

"What's going on? Wasn't he fine when he was in Kunning Palace this morning? Why did he suddenly disappear?" He walked up to Beauty Chen and asked quietly.

"He was killed by this dog!" Chen Meiren glanced at her, pointed at Yan Chongyuan who was kneeling on the ground and said, "This old dog saw that Xu Liangdi was not favored and the Holy Father never called her to sleep with her, so she started to think about it. They want to eat together with Xu Liangdi. Xu Liangdi has always refused in the past, but I didn't expect this old dog to be so bold. Tonight, when no one was around, he bribed the slaves of Xuanchun Palace and touched Xu Liangdi's bed!

"Xu Liangdi would rather die than obey. After cutting her face with scissors, she hit her head first and died!"

Beauty Chen couldn't bear it.

Jingshu listened with rapt attention.

Xu Liangdi was trying to escape and had her face scratched? I'm afraid there is something more mysterious in it.

"Is there such a thing? What about Yan Chongyuan? Has he been caught?" At this time, Jing Shu looked surprised and asked again quickly.

"He was caught, but the old dog refused to plead guilty, saying that he was harmed by someone else, and that Xu Liangdi did not commit suicide, but was killed by someone else."

"Being harmed? Who would harm a eunuch if nothing happened?" Jing Shu frowned. She didn't expect that Yan Chongyuan could go so far as to bite others instead of directly convicting him and dragging him out to kill him.

"That godson of his is Eunuch Chen!" Chen Meiren said with a sarcastic face.

Jing Shu almost laughed when she heard Chen Meiren's thoughts.

It turns out that Meiren Chen also knew about the trouble between Eunuch Yan and Eunuch Chen.

Yan Chongyuan refused to admit that he harmed Xu Liangdi.

Concubine Xie tried her best to protect Yan Chongyuan.

Wang Zhong has sent people to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to look for Yan Chongyuan's adopted son Chen Deshun.

Not long after, Chen Deshun arrived, followed by Cui Huazhang.

The two of them walked past Jingshu and knelt down in the hall to salute.

"This servant meets the Emperor and the Queen..."

"Yan Chongyuan, you said that you were harmed by Chen Deshun and were sent to Xuanchun Palace while unconscious. Now that Chen Deshun has arrived, why do you want to confront him?" Lu Zan looked gloomy and seemed too lazy to speak. , the queen said solemnly.

"Your Majesty, Queen, this servant is wronged!"

When the Queen said this, Chen Deshun immediately said, "I have been busy taking care of the pregnancy of Empress Zhao Bin these days. I have hardly spoken to Eunuch Yan. Tonight, I am working with Eunuch Cui to calculate the recent affairs of the House of Internal Affairs." We have no inventory and account books, so we have no time or motive to harm Eunuch Yan!"

"You're talking nonsense!" When Eunuch Yan heard his denial, a layer of anger suddenly appeared on his old face with crisscrossed grooves. "It's because you brought us a glass of wine with some spices that we can sleep tonight." Go over! When you wake up again, you will see that Master Xu Liangdi is dead! It is obviously you who killed Master Xu Liangdi and then put the blame on our family!

"As for your motive, it's even simpler! Don't think that our family doesn't know that you have now taken refuge in Yuan Jieyu! You are just waiting to trample our family so that you can take the position of our general manager!"

Chen Deshun was very angry when he heard this.

"Eunuch Yan, are you too old and confused? I have been checking inventory and account books with Eunuch Cui tonight. How have I ever seen you? Let alone bring you some wine? Are you too old-sighted to think of others as slaves?"

"It can't be anyone else! It's you! Our family will remember it right!" However, Eunuch Yan insisted that it was him.

The two of them started fighting like this.

On the side, Concubine Ning couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, Queen, it's already very late at night, everyone is sleepy and tired, and we don't have time to listen to these two slaves talking about this.

“Since Eunuch Yan said he was murdered, we must at least find a witness.

"Eunuch Chen said that he was being slandered, and he had to find witnesses.

"Whoever has a witness means that who is innocent, and the other is the murderer of Xu Liangdi. Besides, no matter what, Xu Liangdi is the master, and the two of them are just slaves. If there is no witness, why not Just throw them all into the Criminal Punishment Department, and under strict interrogation, I believe there will always be someone who will tell the truth."

She just finished speaking.

"Concubine Ning really didn't open her mouth, but when she did she spoke so shockingly." Concubine Xie immediately looked at her and said, "Eunuch Yan has been in the palace for many years and has always worked hard and achieved great results. How can he be just two slaves? He is so young. The matter is too high, if he was sent to the Criminal Punishment Department, how could he withstand such torture? I'm afraid he would have died on the spot."

"Then pass on the witnesses."

At this time, Jing Shu rolled her eyes and said rather speechlessly, "Concubine Ning has already said that anyone with a witness will be innocent. Why is Concubine Ning speaking for Eunuch Yan like this? Could it be that she knows that Eunuch Yan can't find anyone?" Evidence, and he is the concubine’s wife, so she wants to fool him? Does the concubine’s behavior mean that she doesn’t take Xu Liangdi seriously? She is also the master after all! How can she be compared to a slave? "

"You spoke up for Xu Liangdi at this time? But how did you know that it wasn't Xu Liangdi who was not favored and couldn't bear the loneliness in the palace, so she took the initiative to hook up with Eunuch Yan?" When Concubine Xie said this, her frosty face turned into a smile. She couldn't help but reveal a sarcastic smile, "After all, Yuan Jieyu also has a deep understanding of this kind of long-lasting life without being favored by the emperor, and she must be the most knowledgeable."

She was sarcastically saying that Jing Shu had not been favored before. Lu Zan had never called her to sleep with her since she married into the East Palace.

Jing Shu also sneered slightly on her face and secretly said that Concubine Xie never knew when she and Lu Zan secretly hooked up together.

Therefore, she deliberately glanced at Lu Zan.

Lu Zan's eyes met hers and he immediately knew what she was thinking. A look of helplessness appeared on his handsome face, but it was a look of complete indulgence.

Sure enough, then I heard Jingshu's soft voice, but her tone was quite mean: "What the imperial concubine said is true, I am a concubine, all the hardships are rewarded, but how long has it been since the imperial concubine slept with me?

"Counting the days, it has been more than three months since the imperial concubine came back from Hanshan Temple, right?

"Have you ever slept with me during this period? Was it once? Or not even once? Oops, I have a bad memory and can't remember clearly!

"But I guess it is the imperial concubine who now understands the feeling of loneliness in the palace the best, right?"

As soon as Jing Shu finished speaking, Concubine Xie's face suddenly sank!

She stared at Jing Shu fiercely, feeling furious in her heart.

Jing Shu, on the other hand, didn't expect to hear Concubine Xie's thoughts. She couldn't help but frown, and a sharp cold light flashed in her eyes.
