sick princess

"The emperor hasn't said anything yet, and Concubine Hui is busy clearing up the relationship. Doesn't it mean that there is no silver 300 taels here?" Concubine Zhou added insult to injury unceremoniously.

At this moment, Concubine Hui looked into Concubine Zhou's eyes and was about to spit fire.

"At present, there is no evidence to prove that this matter has something to do with Concubine Hui, but it is Li Ronghua, but Hong Xing testified against it, and even has tokens. How to look at it, Li Ronghua is more suspected, right? I heard that the imperial concubine has always been friends with Li Ronghua, In such a hurry to speak out, could it be that you want to escape responsibility for your good sister?"

Baoluo hugged Jiujiu puppy, one person and one dog looked quite cute, but the words she said were not so cute to Concubine Zhou.

Although it is unknown whether it was Concubine Zhou or the Empress Dowager who actually killed Concubine Rong, Concubine Zhou was definitely responsible for this.Those who wanted to blame them after Concubine Rong's death, seeing that the matter would not work out, started looking for a scapegoat again, which is a beautiful idea!

Concubine Zhou wanted to draw everyone's attention to Concubine Hui, so she had to ask them if they agreed!

"Your concubine, Baoluo is right. Since you have a good relationship with Li Ronghua, you should avoid suspicion in this matter." Emperor Zhaode said in a neutral manner.

In the past, Concubine Zhou had some small thoughts, but Emperor Zhaode didn't mind.But in this matter, Concubine Zhou cannot be allowed to think carefully.

Over the years, Concubine Zhou has not been as knowledgeable as before, Emperor Zhaode sighed inwardly.Perhaps, a person's fate will really change her temperament.

Looking at Emperor Zhaode's expression, Baoluo secretly thought in his heart, how much he thought Emperor Zhaode could pamper and indulge this "true love" Concubine Zhou, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that.Perhaps, for such indifferent creatures as emperors, their "love" is different from others.

However, this is also good, if Emperor Zhaode really listened to Concubine Zhou, they would be the ones who should be troubled.

Concubine Hui glanced at Baoluo gratefully, and then looked at Concubine Zhou Gui with resentment.

Of course she knew that Baoluo didn't want to help her, but she just didn't want to let Concubine Zhou get an advantage.But what does that matter?At this time, those who can help her are the ones who are worthy of her thanks to her!Those who want to trample her to death like ants are naturally her sworn enemies.

Bringing poison into the palace is no small matter. Last time, when the maid next to Concubine Hui "suicide in fear of crime", Concubine Hui's palace was searched.At that time, concubine Hui was interrogated by Emperor Zhaode Haosheng because another copy of "seal the throat when seeing blood" was found in Concubine Hui's palace. It has been the most difficult time since entering the palace.

Afterwards, even Concubine Hui's natal family was tempted by Emperor Zhaode.If Concubine Hui's father hadn't expressed his loyalty to Emperor Zhaode by telling his old age, and also listed the preciousness and rarity of this kind of poison, it would be difficult to get it due to their family's status, I'm afraid this page would not be so easy to pass .

Although she managed to pass this test, but since then, Concubine Hui's natal family has become much less powerful than before, and Emperor Zhaode also has a thorn in his heart.This time, as soon as this kind of poison was mentioned, Emperor Zhaode immediately suspected Concubine Hui again.

Concubine Hui groaned secretly in her heart, she hated Concubine Zhou Guifei to the core.

Using her once is not enough, are you going to use her a second time so that she will never recover?

Before being cornered, Concubine Hui might not have the courage to face Concubine Zhou head-on.But this time, she has made up her mind to drag Concubine Zhou into the water with all her might!Since Imperial Concubine Zhou won't give her a way out, then everyone should just have a good time!

Over the years, Concubine Hui has more or less in her hands some evidence of Concubine Zhou's crimes. These evidences are not enough to completely bring down Concubine Zhou, but they can still add some obstacles to Concubine Zhou.

"Your Majesty, a few years ago, the Emperor searched out the concubine's palace for 'seeing blood to seal the throat', and the concubine thought, the concubine must investigate this matter and see who is framing the concubine. The concubine exhausted all her contacts in the palace, and only then did she find out how the 'seeing blood to seal the throat' was brought into the palace."

"In the past, when Zheng Huangshang supplied goods to the palace, he would occasionally bring some wooden ornaments into the palace, saying that they were for some masters in the palace to play with or keep for appreciation. Because the wooden ornaments were not eye-catching, In addition, the people in the palace below knew that Zheng Huangshang was pulled up by Concubine Zhou, so those people didn't make things difficult for Zheng Huangshang, and let Zheng Huangshang bring the wooden ornaments into the palace."

"Then Zheng Huangshang was also cautious. He didn't bring too many at a time, only one or two. Back and forth, a total of three times. If someone hadn't recorded this and told Chen Qie, I'm afraid Chen Qie would not think of it." , the seemingly inconspicuous thing that Zheng Huangshang brought in is actually such a terrible thing?"

"Do you have evidence?" Emperor Zhaode asked.

"The concubines have witnesses. Back then, several young eunuchs and maids watched Zheng Huangshang bring poison into the palace. The emperor can also summon Zheng Huangshang to the palace for interrogation. "

"Bring those people up, and bring the merchant surnamed Zheng into the palace. Now, he is not an 'imperial merchant'!"

No one expected that this incident would turn into such a twists and turns.

Everyone knows that Zheng Shangjia belongs to Concubine Zhou.If the "sealed throat at the sight of blood" was really brought into the palace by Zheng Shangjia, then this matter must have something to do with Concubine Zhou.

Many people were secretly looking at Concubine Zhou Gui, but Concubine Zhou was always calm, from her face, nothing could be seen at all.

After a while, the eunuchs and maids that Concubine Hui had mentioned were indeed brought up.

Those few people were obviously terrified. At that time, they thought that Zheng Huangshang just brought a few wooden ornaments into the palace, it was nothing important. With one eye, Zheng Huangshang was put into the palace.If they had known that what Zheng Huangshang had brought into the palace that day was poison and killed them, they would not have dared to let Zheng Huangshang go.

Now, since the matter has been brought to light, they naturally want to remove themselves first.The crime of dereliction of duty is naturally less serious than the crime of covering up Zheng Huangshang's conspiracy.

"Did Zheng Shangjia ever bring some wooden ornaments into the palace?" Emperor Zhaode ordered someone to show the wooden ornaments filled with poisonous juice to these servants. After examining them carefully for a while, they nodded repeatedly: "Yes. , is this wooden ornament."

One of the eunuchs with a good memory stood up and said: "I remember, Zheng Huangshang... Zheng Shangjia brought wooden ornaments into the palace for the first time when His Royal Highness the Second Prince was one year old. The ornaments are small gadgets brought by Zheng Huangshang to His Royal Highness the Second Prince, and the servant even looked at them a few more times, wondering if the Second Prince has any gold, silver and jade ornaments, so how could he be interested in such things."

"The second time... The second time was brought in when Li Niangniang had just been canonized as Ronghua. Although the servants were curious about why Zheng Shangjia's filial masters liked to use wooden ornaments, they didn't want to ask too much. Finally, that The servants don't know whether the jewelry has reached Rong Hua's hands or not."

"The third time Zheng Shangjia brought the ornament into the palace, he brought it in by honoring the empress dowager. Since Zheng Shangjia had already brought it several times before, the servants thought, maybe the masters like such things , I didn’t ask any more questions, and let Zheng Shangjia go directly.”

In order to pay off the crime, the eunuch told Emperor Zhaode what he remembered, and the rest of the eunuchs and maids would give him supplements from time to time.

At the end, the eunuchs and maids wiped the sweat from their foreheads and said: "If we had known that Zheng Shangjia had such evil intentions, the servants would definitely not sit back and watch him bring things into the palace."

"Okay, it's very good, someone brought this poison into the palace several times, but I was kept in the dark!" Emperor Zhaode's face was very ugly: "Your concubine, this Zheng Shangjia is the one you single-handedly brought up. The few times the poison was brought into the palace was also during the period when you were in charge of the affairs of the Sixth Palace, what do you want to say?"

"The concubine is negligent, please punish the emperor. The concubine saw that Zheng Shangjia was a good person, so he recommended him to the emperor. Who knows, he actually harbored evil intentions and betrayed the emperor's hope. I couldn't see through this person's nature, and I was credulous. This person is the fault of my concubine, and my concubine will never shirk this point."

"I just want to ask you, have those wooden ornaments that Zheng Shangjia brought into the palace been sent to your palace?" Emperor Zhaode looked at Concubine Zhou with an unprecedentedly cold gaze.

"No, none of them were sent to the concubine. The concubine doesn't know where Zheng Shangjia sent those ornaments."

Concubine Zhou Guifei's words were extremely sincere, but the suspicion on Emperor Zhaode's face still did not subside.

"You really disappointed me, noble concubine, I don't know if I can still believe your words."

Concubine Zhou's heart sank gradually: "If the emperor doesn't believe it, just send someone to search the Changchun Palace of the concubine, and return the concubine's innocence."

"The imperial concubine's hands and eyes are clear to the sky, I'm afraid she moved those wooden ornaments to other places early?" Concubine Hui said coolly: "For example, the place of the ministers and concubines, and for example, the place of Li Ronghua."

Because Zheng Huangshang brought these wooden ornaments into the palace privately, he never registered them.It is really difficult to check how many people's hands passed along the way.

"Father, Concubine Hui is right. Li Ronghua was identified by Hong Xing, so there is a certain degree of suspicion. Why don't you search the palace of the concubine and Li Ronghua at the same time, so as not to wrong anyone. At the beginning, Zheng Shangjia brought a total of five into the palace. "Seeing blood seals the throat", but now, we only see two. We don't know where the other three are hidden. If we don't find the three as soon as possible, the child will always feel like It's a knife hanging." Baoluo was worried.

Who can guarantee that it will not be injured?Who can guarantee that no one around will do anything to him when he is injured?

Once the poison-juice of "seeing blood to seal the throat" covers the wound, it can kill people in an instant, which is really unavoidable.

Baoluo's words obviously touched Emperor Zhaode's heart.

"Come here, go and search for Concubine Zhou, Li Ronghua and Concubine Hui."
