When Spring Comes

Knife? Huachun frowned, with a look of incomprehension: "You are the one who started the attack on this palace. What evidence do you have to prove it was Concubine Hui's instructions?"

Lan Zhaoyi was taken aback, and the whole person was a little discouraged: "Concubine Hui did nothing but confessions, and the concubine could not provide anything."

Without a token and no other witnesses besides her, it is indeed difficult to sue Concubine Hui. But when things reached this point, it was destined to be either Huifei or she died.

Huachun whispered: "My palace doesn't like to cause trouble, for no reason, and there is no need to have trouble with Concubine Hui. For you have said so much, my palace can beg the emperor for you and send two more One guard is in the cold palace. For the rest, this palace can't do much."

Lan Zhaoyi was a little anxious, so she spread out her words, Hua Lai was so weak?

"Niang Niang." She quickly said, "With the sacred favorite you have now, just use the confession of your concubine, and then find someone to investigate the case of Nie Cairen, and you will definitely be able to pull Empress Hui Hui down!"

"Nie Cairen's case..." Huachun said hesitantly, "It's been so long, so there should be no evidence of people and materials..."

"No!" Lan Zhaoyi thought for a while: "A few of the palace men who tied Nie Cairen's hands at the beginning were accused of concubines by Concubine Hui. They were in the concubine's original palace, and now I don’t know they have been assigned to them. Where. If the empress can be found, coupled with the emperor's trust, this case can be turned over."

Qing Niao was so silly to hear that, at first he thought he was going to try to force a confession or something, but I didn't expect Lan Zhaoyi to be so uncomfortable that he would not count as if he was so stubborn that he would urge Huachun to tell her concubine Hui?

Turning her head and glanced at her master pretending to be stupid, she couldn't help sighing. As expected, life is like a play, and it all depends on acting.

Huachun struggled for a long time before he reluctantly said: "Well, let me try."

"Thank you, Niang Niang!" Lan Zhaoyi bowed gratefully, then put on his cloak, and followed the maid back to Youyang Palace.

She reacted when she walked out of the Hall of Nourishment, frowning and muttering: "Weird, why should I thank her?"

With Lan Zhaoyi's confession and the clues of Shankania, Huachun felt that the net was basically ready!

Huachun asked Duke Qin to do things about looking for the palace people in Lan Zhaoyi Palace. In the middle of the afternoon, the person who went to check Shanganhua came back. The news that he brought was:

"In the medicinal materials tribute to the palace, it did contain the mountain stalk flowers that were forbidden in the palace, but they didn't enter the imperial pharmacy, and they were sent directly to the Qinghe Hall for fragrance."

"Are you sure you only went to Qinghe Hall?"

"Yes."

Huachun nodded, immediately sorted out the evidence and confession, and then waited for Youshi to ask the Queen Mother for peace.

Concubine Hui didn't know anything about what happened last night, only to find that the flower girl hadn't come to please peace this morning, and felt that she was getting more and more frantic, so she cleaned up and went to the Queen Mother to blow the air.

The queen mother has recently been in poor health, leaning on the soft couch and not very talkative, so she listened to her words and said for a long while, she said at last: "The other mourners can't control it. It’s a lot faster. Yesterday, an old official came into the palace and told Ai’s family that the emperor had never been addicted to female sex, but he was more diligent than before."

As a mother, she naturally doesn't care about who is vying for favor in the harem, and whoever the emperor is with does not miss political affairs, her old woman will support her.

Concubine Hui was startled, and smiled awkwardly: "Your Majesty... has been very hard recently."

"It's a good thing for the Aijia to hold scientific research." The queen mother said: "It's just that there are still many people in the court who are pulling the emperor's hind legs."

Among these "many people", Li Zhongtang was the first to bear the brunt.

Her heart sank, Concubine Hui shut up and said nothing. She is just Li Zhongtang's niece, and she doesn't have much kisses. How can she be expected to say something nice to her uncle? Her status can bring him benefits, but his position in the court always embarrassed her in the harem.

It's really unfair.

"The empress dowager." Yue Jian said: "Hua 嫔 please come here to please peace."

"Let her in."

"Yes."

Concubine Hui frowned, got up and sat down on a chair, looking at the door puzzled. Hua 嫔 often stays in her own palace and does not come out, so she doesn't go to the court meeting this morning. Why is she here to please peace with the Queen Mother?

Huachun came in with a smile on his face, and saluteed: "Concubine pays homage to the Queen Mother."

Smiling slightly, the queen mother beckoned her to sit there, and said in a sense of apathy: "It's rare for you to come here to please the Aijia."

"Is the Queen Mother complaining about her concubine not coming?" Hua Chun said flatly, aggrieved: "But the emperor said that the Queen Mother had just returned to the palace recently and was in Qingxiu, so it will not be disturbed."

"Why would the Aijia blame you?" The Queen Mother said, and glanced at Rui'er behind her: "What have you brought?"

Huachun smiled, got up and lifted the tray in Rui'er's hand, and said: "It is the jade ruyi sent to you by the emperor's concubine, and said it was newly made by your favorite craftsman. Let it be auspicious."

"The emperor is interested." After looking at that wishful look, the queen mother sighed: "I am still thinking about the preferences of the Ai family."

Concubine Hui was uncomfortable beside her, and smiled reluctantly: "There is still something in the court of the concubine, so I will go back first."

The queen mother turned her head and was about to wave her hand, but she heard Hua Lai yell: "Momstress stay!"

Concubine Hui paused and looked at her.

Huachun got up and knelt behind the mother and said: "Concubine is here today, there is one more important thing to do."

Her heart moved slightly, Hui Fei had a bad premonition, but she still sat down slowly and looked at her firmly.

"What's the important thing?" The queen mother half-closed her eyes: "It has something to do with Concubine Hui?"

"Yes." Huachun nodded: "This matter can only be decided by the queen mother. There are no outsiders, so my concubine wants to speak clearly in front of sister Huifei."

Concubine Hui pursed her lips and chuckled lightly: "It looks so serious, is it possible that Hua Lai wants to speak ill of my palace?"

"It's not a bad thing, it's just a fact." She raised her head and looked at the queen mother and said: "The concubine was asked to go to the lotus pond in the name of the emperor the day before and almost died. After the incident, Lan Zhaoyi was caught, and she also admitted to her concubine. I was drugged and wanted to put my concubine to death. But today, something unexpected happened to my concubine."

The queen mother frowned. She had never interfered in the harem fight, and was not interested in listening to these to preside over justice. She was about to wave her hand to stop talking, but suddenly saw her eyes.

There was no calculation or annoyance in Huabing's eyes, and she aimed at Concubine Hui clearly and plainly.

It just so happened that the Queen Mother has also quite disliked Li Zhongtang recently, and this aim is in her arms. For this reason, the Queen Mother took her hand back and decided to listen to her.

"Lan Zhaoyi confessed to her concubine, saying that all this was the order of Concubine Hui." Huachun's expression suddenly became serious, and she glanced at Concubine Hui: "Concubine doesn't believe me, so I want to confront Concubine Hui today."

Concubine Hui was silly and frowned and looked at her: "What did you say? Lan Zhaoyi confessed?"

"Yes." Huachun said: "There is a confession here, and the queen mother can also see Lan Zhaoyi."

Concubine Hui stretched out her hand and snatched the testimony she had taken out. She swept her eyes with a dark face, and then tore it away: "This is such a big joke, how could this palace instruct her to murder the concubine?"

The queen mother glanced at her and frowned: "The Aijia hasn't been seen yet, how can you just tear it up?"

"The concubine **** it!" Hui Fei hurriedly knelt down: "The concubine behaved upright and upright and didn't want to be so framed today. She was short of breath and misbehaved. Please forgive the Queen Mother!"

"It's okay." Huachun stretched out her hand and took out a confession from her sleeve: "The concubine was copied a lot of copies, and the concubine Hui could still tear two more copies. The empress dowager asked for a look."

Concubine Hui: "..."

The queen mother nodded, took a look at Huachun, took what she handed, and looked carefully.

After a long time, she said, "What does Huifei have to say?"

"Lan Zhaoyi spit out blood!" Hui Fei said with a cold face: "The court concubine has never done anything she framed. She has nothing to do with the court concubine because of her jealousy."

"The Niangniang didn't know what Lan Zhaoyi was going to do from start to finish, and didn't she give her any help?" Hua Chun asked.

Concubine Hui shook her head: "No!"

"That's weird." Huachun said: "Queen dowager, Lan Zhaoyi's medicine contains saccharum sylvestris. The concubine has already checked it. The saccharums in the palace are all in the Qinghe Hall. If you are honest and upright, why would you give Lan Zhaoyi the forbidden drug without asking her what it is for?"

Mountain snail flower.

The queen mother's face sank when she heard these three words, her eyes fell on Concubine Hui like a knife: "Why is there such a thing in the palace?"

With a cold sweat behind her, Concubine Hui quickly squatted her head and said: "The queen mother calmed down, and the concubine couldn't sleep peacefully at night. The prescription prescribed by the imperial physician contained kanshal flower and said that the effect was the best. The concubine tried it, and other medicinal fragrances It's useless, it's the Shansi flower that allows the concubine to sleep well, so..."

"At that time, the Ai family made a decree and refused to allow that thing to enter the palace again." The queen mother said: "It seems that you didn't take the old lady of the Ai family in your eyes?"

Is the focus on shankan flowers? It's obviously a homicide, okay! Huachun choked silently, watching the queen mother really moved her anger, which was also very inexplicable.

Concubine Hui was really panicked, and repeatedly bowed her head to salute. The Queen Mother closed her eyes and threw the confession to the ground, saying: "As a concubine in charge, she uses power to defy the will and persecutes the concubine in the palace many times. Concubine Li, in addition to the concubine, demoted to Zhaoyi, enter the Youyang Palace, and wait for the emperor to send him down!"

"Queen dowager!" Li was stupid. He didn't expect that the punishment would come as soon as it was said. He also directly lowered her from the concubine position to Zhaoyi. This... but an unprecedented heavy punishment!

With his head banging, Li cried and pleaded: "The queen mother listened to the concubine's explanation! There was a misunderstanding. The concubine did not murder Nie Cairen, let alone attacked the queen mother..."

The **** from outside came in and dragged her out directly. The efficiency was so high that Huachun was a little surprised.

The empress dowager’s expression was very ugly, she dropped her confession on her soft couch and looked at Huachun and said, "You also go back first."

"……Yes."

After leaving the Huiming Hall, Huachun took Rui'er and asked, "What is the relationship between the Queen Mother and Shansi Flower?"

Rui Er pursed her lips and whispered: "There was once a concubine in the palace who was pregnant with the emperor's flesh and blood, but he accidentally ate the shanka flower and killed two lives. The entire imperial hospital couldn't save the person. "

Huachun shocked.

The blood of the emperor?

"The queen mother came to see the heavy heir. That was the first child of the emperor, so it was gone. Naturally, she was furious and executed many people. After that, the shankan flower became a forbidden medicine in the palace." Rui Er whispered: " The servant girl felt that the queen mother didn't read the confession much. It was simply because Concubine Hui had violated the taboo, so she was so angry."

She thinks so too! Huachun nodded and shrugged: "Anyway, the mission of the palace is completed, and you can go back and rest for a few days."

Rui Er nodded, followed her owner's happiness, and trot back to the Hall of Nourishment.

The fact that Concubine Hui was demoted to the cold palace by the queen mother instantly spread throughout the harem, and even the emperor took time to visit the Huiming Hall and asked about the situation.

"In this harem, the most undesirable thing is a woman who has a vicious heart and murders others." After coughing twice, the queen mother said with a serious face: "The emperor hand over the power of the harem to someone else."

All the concubines bow their heads and dare not say anything. People who usually cling to Hui concubine are naturally upset, but the concubines from other camps are happy to watch jokes.

It's just that, who will the power of the harem fall on now? According to the emperor's current preferences, I'm afraid...Hua Lai has to go to the next level, right?

Many people are displeased. It hasn't been long before Huachun entered the palace, and he has already been promoted. Is it possible to be promoted again now?
