Grandma Sun suppressed the shock in her heart and said solemnly, "I wonder where the bodies of the two girls are now?"

Concubine Qi looked at the little palace maid who came to report earlier and said, "Lianrong, lead the way for Grandma Sun to your sister Xia Zhu Xia He's room."

Lianrong was still immersed in the shock just now. Sister Xia Zhu and Xia He suddenly fell ill? how so?

She stood there blankly. After hearing Concubine Qi's instructions, she shuddered all over, then saluted to Grandma Sun and said, "Please come with me, Grandma."

Then, he walked towards the outside of the dormitory. Judging from her pace, it seemed a bit unrealistic. It seemed that she had not yet recovered from the previous shock.

Grandma Sun and Yao Xingde looked at each other.

Grandma Sun sent four young eunuchs to follow Lianrong to "carry people up".

Grandma Sun said: "Take it directly back to the Shenxing Department and have someone check the cause of death."

Yao Xingde sent a person back to Jingyang Palace to report the matter.

While speaking, he carefully looked at Qi Bin's expression. Seeing that Qi Concubine was still sitting in front of the chessboard, she seemed unaware when she heard this. There was even a hint of curvature on the lips.

So what if I tell His Majesty? Yes, Your Majesty will even think that she caused the life of that little palace maid.

However, she is just a little palace maid. His Majesty could at most punish her without any pain, but could he still take the life of her, the biological mother of the prince, for the sake of a little palace maid?

It's a pity that Xia Zhu and Xia He have been with her for so many years and have always been considerate to her. From now on, it will be difficult to train two such lovely palace servants.

However, they cannot enter the Criminal Division. Otherwise, if His Majesty knew that she was responsible for the incident, he would never spare her.

Yao Xingde added: "Your Majesty has an order to send the fifth prince to the Jade Concubine."

Hearing this, Concubine Qi's movements were stagnant for a moment, and then she said: "It's already late at night, and the fifth prince has already fallen asleep. It won't be too late to send him there early tomorrow morning."

Yao Xingde said with a smile: "Why wake up the fifth prince? Just let the nanny wrap the fifth prince in a quilt and carry him to Changxin Palace."

Concubine Qi added: "The more exposed you are, the child's body is weak and he is afraid that he will be invaded by the cold air."

Yao Xingde said: "I have already ordered someone to deliver the soft sedan, and it is waiting outside Chong'an Palace. There is a charcoal basin in the soft sedan, which will definitely not let the fifth prince get cold."

Qi Bin took a deep look at him and said: "It's so late, I'm afraid Concubine Jade has already rested, so I won't bother you."

Yao Xingde said: "Jade Concubine has always been very affectionate with your sisters, I think she won't mind."

Concubine Qi snorted coldly and said, "Since my father-in-law is ready, why do you still come to ask me?"

Yao Xingde said: "This is His Majesty's decree. I didn't ask for your instructions at all."

The implication is that I am just telling you that it was you who made a bunch of opinions yourself.

Then, Yao Xingde ordered a few young eunuchs who were always cautious and went to the fifth prince's room.

At this time, in Jingyang Palace, Lu Zhaolin and Jiang Shiying were about to take a rest when they saw Qiu Yu walking in with gentle steps.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty, Eunuch Yao has sent a messenger from the palace to reply."

Jiang Shiying frowned, thinking that something might have happened to Concubine Qi.

She and Lu Zhaolin looked at each other and saw that Lu Zhaolin was also frowning, so she knew that they were thinking of the same place.

Lu Zhaolin said: "The messenger comes in."

The young palace servant entered the bedroom, knelt on the ground and saluted, and then without waiting for anyone to ask, he told what he saw and heard in Chong'an Palace: "Eunuch Yao and Grandma Sun took the servants to Chong'an Palace. , after reading His Majesty’s oral instructions, Grandma Sun asked Empress Qi where the two eldest ladies were, and Empress Qi said that the two eldest ladies suddenly fell ill tonight and they are dead.”

After saying this, the young palace man lay on the ground and did not dare to raise his head.

The next moment, a "pop" sound was heard on the ground not far from him.

Lu Zhaolin gritted his teeth: "Qi Bin, I really underestimated her in the past."

Jiang Shiying put her left hand on his hand and comforted him gently.

Lu Zhaolin held her hand and remained silent.

Jiang Shiying was thinking in her mind that Qi Bin cruelly sacrificed the lives of two maids and took the risk of offending Lu Zhaolin, even if she had to hide it, it might be more serious than she thought before.

It is impossible for anyone in this harem, especially the high-ranking concubines, to have completely clean hands.

But Qi Bin was so scared, presumably the dirty things she had done were enough to pull her down completely, and even cost her her life.

If this is true, it can be regarded as revenge for Chanyi.

At this moment, Lu Zhaolin only felt that his imperial majesty had been challenged. Qi Bin knew that she couldn't hide it anymore, so she completely destroyed the two living "evidences". The only remaining insider is herself. She was so sure that he wouldn't do anything to her?

Thinking of this, Lu Zhaolin smiled sarcastically, and then said: "Send concubine Qi to the Criminal Punishment Department for trial."

After the words fell, Jiang Shiying and Xiao Gongren looked at him in shock.

Jiang Shiying said: "Your Majesty, Concubine Qi is the head of the first palace after all."

Lu Zhaolin turned his head slightly, looked at her and said, "It might not be the case when she comes out of the Sentence Department."

Jiang Shiying added: "But she is the fifth prince's biological mother after all. If the biological mother goes to the Shenxing Division to be tried, I'm afraid it will damage the fifth prince's reputation."

Lu Zhaolin said: "That's why she feels confident."

Jiang Shiying put her chin on his shoulder, held his hand with her left hand, and caressed his back with her right hand: "I know that your majesty is very angry at the moment, but please be careful. The prince is the head of the first palace. My biological mother was sent to the Criminal Punishment Department for trial. I’m afraid it won’t sound good if word spreads about this matter.”

Lu Zhaolin gradually calmed down with her comfort. Then, he took a deep breath and said: "Qi Concubine is closed in Chong'an Palace to pray for blessings. One of the two maids beside Qi Concubine committed suicide out of fear of crime, and the other was put on trial at the Shenxing Department."

The young palace man was very clever and understood what he meant as soon as he heard it. After another salute, he took the order and went to Chong'an Palace to deliver the order.

In Chong'an Palace, after listening to the oral instructions passed down by the little palace servant, the expression on Qi Concubine's face finally completely collapsed: "No, your Majesty can't do this to me!"

Grandma Sun gave her a sarcastic look, pointed to the door with her left hand, and said, "Miss Xia Zhu, please follow me back to the Shenxing Division."

Concubine Qi said angrily: "Bold! I am not a Xia Zhu!"

Grandma Sun laughed and said, "Miss Xia Zhu, you haven't been drinking either, so why are you talking nonsense?"

As he said that, regardless of her reaction, he raised his head to the palace servant behind him and said, "Miss Xia Zhu, please return to the Shenxing Division."

Two young palace servants from the Shenxing Department stepped forward and controlled Concubine Qi, one on the left and the other on the right.

Concubine Qi struggled and said: "Let go of me, I am the concubine."

Grandma Sun said: "Stop Miss Xia Zhu's mouth to prevent her from disturbing the palace masters by talking nonsense."

A young palace servant took out a sweat towel from his sleeve, rolled it into a ball and stuffed it into Qi Bin's mouth.

The feeling made Qi Bin almost faint.

Yao Xingde looked at Nanny Sun's nimble movements, gave her a thumbs up, and said: "Old sister, this is how courageous you are."

I am not afraid that Qi Concubine will take revenge after she comes out of the Shenxing Division one day.

Taking a step back, Qi Concubine still has the fifth prince.

Grandma Sun glanced at him: "When you mocked her just now, she didn't look scared."

Yao Xingde chuckled. As the eunuch beside Lu Zhaolin, he understood Lu Zhaolin's temper best.

If Qi Concubine cries bitterly and admits her mistake and pleads for mercy, there is no way Lu Zhaolin can still care about his old love.

However, Concubine Qi killed the two maids when she came up. Although it was to protect herself, in Lu Zhaolin's eyes, she was unrepentant and defiant to the monarchy.

Before the young palace maid came back, he knew that Qi Concubine's fate would not be good.

As for the fifth prince, he is still young after all, and his majesty might just change the biological mother on the jade certificate.

He and Grandma Sun were just beating up a drowned dog.
