Xiao Linfeng also heard the connection at this time, it turned out that the person who died was someone from the Queen's Palace, but why they questioned Concubine Chen Gui, presumably something happened to them in private.Xiao Linfeng didn't bother to pay attention to the dispute between concubine and concubine. He took a step forward, bowed to the empress, and said, "Empress, since the identity of the deceased has been found out, the lower ranks will return to report to the emperor first."

Empress Xue's expression had returned to normal at this time, she waved the palace fan leisurely and said, "There is no hurry, I have to ask Lord Xiao to help me invite someone to come over."

Xiao Linfeng didn't intend to do anything about the harem at first, but when the queen asked, he couldn't refuse, so he asked, "I don't know who to invite."

Before the queen could answer, Chen Guifei suddenly fell to her knees in front of the queen, and begged, "Empress, this matter must have nothing to do with Jing Er, please investigate clearly."

Seeing Concubine Chen like this, the Queen's face became more and more indifferent, "Is it related to Jinger? It's hard to say at this time. I sent him to his palace. He died so tragicly now. Shouldn't I ask him, Concubine?" Why are you so nervous?"

After the queen finished speaking, she turned her head and said to Xiao Linfeng, "This matter is related to the prince. I would like to ask Mr. Xiao to be a witness. Please invite the Sixth Highness here first."

Xiao Linfeng frowned slightly. If the prince was really involved, he really couldn't leave if he wanted to, so he had to arrange someone to invite Jing Yi.

At this time, Jing Yi was accompanying the Queen Mother in Ciming Palace.

The Empress Dowager tends to get sleepy after meals, but the imperial doctor said that this is not good for the stomach of the elderly, so now Jing Yi comes to accompany the meal at noon every day. After the meal is gone, go to take a nap.

It happened that the queen mother was lazy today, and she was unwilling to move around no matter how coaxed, Jing Yi had no choice but to sit at the table and copy the scriptures, Xue Niang was waiting on the side, and the two of them teased the queen mother to talk.

The queen mother was really sleepy, she sat on the rocking chair and half closed her eyes, ignoring people for a long time.Jing Yi and Xue Niang looked at each other and smiled, so let's go with her old man.

A court lady came in lightly, and was about to speak when Xue Niang saw that the queen mother was asleep, she gave a soft 'shh' to signal her not to speak.

Coming in at this time, there must be something wrong, Xue Niang also knew this, she stepped lightly, and led the maid outside the door to talk.

After Jing Yi watched the two go out, Xue Niang gently closed the door behind her, she was not in a hurry, she just quietly copied the scriptures.

The sandalwood lit in the hall diffused in the air, and the room was very quiet, even the Queen Mother's slight snoring became much clearer.

The two people outside the door did not know what they were talking about, the rustling voice was not very clear, but Xue Niang suddenly raised her voice and said, "Nonsense, if you talk nonsense again, I will tear your mouth apart."

Maybe the little maid said something bad that made Xueniang angry, but woke up the queen mother, and slowly opened her eyes, "What's the matter, what's the noise?"

The two people outside the door probably heard the Queen Mother's voice, they lowered their voices and said nothing.

After a while, Xueniang came in and came to the queen mother with a smile, "It's all because Xueniang didn't know the severity, and woke up your old man."

The queen mother patted Xueniang's hand, "Look at how old you are, and you are still so unstable."

Xue Niang smiled embarrassedly, "What the Empress Dowager taught is that it seems that the slaves should accompany the Empress Dowager to recite more scriptures to cultivate their temperament."

The queen mother was amused, "Hey, don't you read too little?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was just right, Jing Yi raised his head and asked, "Xue Niang has a rare good temper, what the little maid said just now made you angry."

When Xueniang heard this, her tone became a little bit bad, "His Royal Highness told the Queen Mother that a court lady was missing a few days ago, do you still remember?"

Jing Yi kept writing, and asked casually, "Remember, have you found it now?"

"If you look for it, you have found it, but the person is gone."

Jing Yi paused, a little surprised, "Dead?"

The empress dowager knocked on the crutch with the dragon head in her hand, and said disdainfully, "It's not a big deal for a court lady to die, is it worth making a fuss about?"

"What the empress dowager said is true," Xue Niang replied, "this servant also thinks so, but now that the body has been found, the empress empress wants to ask our Sixth Highness to question her."

The queen mother snorted coldly, "If you don't stay in her palace all day long, you will live your life with right and wrong. If you die, you will die, if you lose it, you will lose it, what has Jing'er to do with it?"

In front of Jing Yi, the Empress Dowager never concealed her dislike for the Empress at all. Jing Yi was a little accustomed to it, and laughed, "Grandma, don't be angry. After all, something happened to someone in my palace. The Empress sent her grandson to You should take a look."

What should come will always come, but I feel sorry for this page. I accidentally splashed a cloud of ink just now. I am afraid that this page was written in vain.

Xueniang said hesitantly, "I heard from people that it seems that the death is very unusual."

Neither the Queen Mother nor Jing Yi spoke, waiting for Xue Niang to continue.

"I heard that he was abused, beaten, and humiliated. The body was foaming when it was picked up."

After Xueniang finished speaking, she carefully looked at the Queen Mother's expression.

Sure enough, seeing the Queen Mother standing up angrily, "What a bastard, doing these nasty things to flatter Jing'er instead,"

He looked extremely angry, so he walked out straight away, "The old lady wants to see who has the guts to bully my grandson."

The Empress Dowager has stayed in the harem for so many years, she hasn't seen any kind of things, how can these lowly things escape her old man's eyes, she immediately pointed out the vital points, and wanted to vent her anger for her grandson.Hearing these two sentences, Jing Yi felt more at ease.

The Empress Dowager made people feel a little worried. The old man was old and had to walk with the wind, which scared Jing Yi and Xue Niang to chase after him, "Empress Dowager, please slow down, don't be shy."

The rain was still falling, and Jing Yi was inexplicably sad, why he couldn't be stronger, but had to be protected by such an old man who cared about him.He casually poured most of the umbrella onto the Queen Mother's head.Seeing it from the side, Xueniang handed over her umbrella, "Your Highness, you should take good care of yourself."

The queen mother smiled when she saw it, "You child, grandma has seen big storms and waves, and you are still afraid of these small wind and rain, so take care of yourself, and the important thing is not to let grandma worry."

Jing Yi smiled, but did not take back the umbrella, this is what he can only do for the Queen Mother right now.Seeing that he persisted, the queen mother stopped pushing, but just tightened his hand again.

When the Empress Dowager and her party came to the carp viewing pavilion, the corpse was still standing aside.
