Chapter 3 The passing of Concubine Hua

The night was getting dark, but a scream suddenly came from the imperial garden.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

The eunuch stumbled into the royal study with a pale face on his face: "Hua, Concubine Hua, passed away! Yes, someone poisoned her food!"

Xiao Shengyun sat in front of the case and thought for a long time before he figured out who Concubine Hua was. He couldn't help but frowned tightly.

Concubine Hua was not favored in the palace, but she also followed the concubines to bully Jin'er. Who would do something to her... and what was the intention behind it?

He secretly clenched his fists and said in a calm tone: "Let the concubines of the Sixth Palace go to the imperial garden to wait and find out who has handled Concubine Hua's food."

The eunuch nodded hurriedly, and not long after, all the concubines, including Su Yuejin who was imprisoned in the harem, arrived in the imperial garden.

Su Yuejin sat on the stone bench with her eyes lowered, feeling a little confused.

How could it be such a coincidence that at this juncture... Concubine Hua was poisoned to death?

There are so many ways in the palace to quietly kill a person, so blatantly, could there be an ulterior motive behind it...

Next to her were a group of concubines who looked frightened and were talking among themselves.

"Why did Concubine Hua go away when she was fine? She has always been a kind-hearted person. Who would have the heart to kill her?"

"I heard that the poison sealed the throat with blood, and even the gods couldn't save it... I'm so cruel..."

Good natured?

Su Yuejin sneered silently.

Concubine Hua was used to flattering others and suppressing inferiors. Realizing that she was just a hollow queen, she colluded with the second concubine Shulan and was rude to her not only once or twice, but no one in the palace should think so. It would be right to kill her...

"Your Majesty is here!"

The eunuch's shouts came from behind her, and the concubines behind her immediately shut up and knelt down to pay their respects.

Su Yuejin raised her head and saw a handsome face that she had not seen for nearly five years in her previous life, feeling complicated in her heart.

She had no relationship with Xiao Shengyun. Although she often visited the harem when she was young, she only had a close relationship with Xiao Zhaolin, the prince of the virtuous prince with a human face and a beast's heart. And Xiao Shengyun, the prince who had been locked up in the imperial study all year round, had no impression of her. .

So when she heard that he was going to make her a queen, she felt only confusion and resentment in her heart, and she blamed him for breaking up her and Xiao Zhaolin...

But she was framed to such an extent in her previous life, and he spared her life. During that time in the cold palace, he never treated her harshly.

Even several times, he seemed to have a deep meaning and told her that she must be well-behaved and peaceful in the palace so that he could protect her.

Will...

"What do you think about Concubine Hua's death?"

The man's cold and deep voice interrupted Su Yuejin's thoughts. For some reason, she always felt that those dark eyes would look at her from time to time, with complicated eyes.

"His Majesty!"

Concubine Lan suddenly stumbled and knelt at Xiao Shengyun's feet, speaking in a sincere and sad tone: "Sister Concubine Hua has always been a kind-hearted person. No one in the palace has ever had a grudge against her except the empress... Let's talk about the crime of murdering the concubine. ,Except for the empress..."

"presumptuous!"

Su Yuejin frowned and was about to speak, but Xiao Shengyun suddenly kicked her away with a sharp shout: "The queen has been imprisoned in the cold palace, how can she let someone poison Concubine Hua! Who gave you the courage to talk nonsense?!"

Concubine Lan immediately froze on the spot and turned pale, while Concubine Shu behind her had a flash of astonishment in her eyes, which instantly turned into vicious resentment. Her gaze was almost invisible as she scanned the silent Su Yuejin.

"That's it, let's all disperse, a bunch of women with long hair and short knowledge!"

Xiao Shengyun glanced at everyone impatiently and walked away, leaving only the concubines looking at each other in shock.

Su Yuejin frowned slightly, watching the man leave, feeling a little dazed for a moment.

Is he protecting her?

It was clear that Concubine Lan had said this, why should he question her and just leave like this?

Seeing the concubines beside her get up and leave one after another, looking at her with rather strange eyes, Su Yuejin walked towards the Leng Palace with a calm expression, but inadvertently glanced at the pale Concubine Lan.

"What happened to your Majesty today? For that ignorant bitch..."

Concubine Lan clenched her fists tightly, biting her lips until they turned white. She complained to the palace people in a stern voice, but suddenly a cold laugh came from her ears.

An inexplicable chill ran down her spine. She raised her head and saw Su Yuejin in a bright red palace dress standing in front of her, looking at her with a half-smile.

"Here, my Queen, please say hello!"

The palace attendants behind her were, by coincidence, frightened by the snake Su Yuejin released that day. They were looking at Su Yuejin with pale faces, and their expressions were not much better than Concubine Lan's.

"You all step aside, I will reminisce about old times with Concubine Lan."

Su Yuejin twitched her lips and spoke calmly, but the coldness in her eyes made Concubine Lan shudder.

"You, you are not allowed to leave, Queen, you..."

Concubine Lan was startled and hurriedly tried to catch the palace men, but she didn't expect them to run as fast as if they had seen a ghost, and her legs could hardly help but tremble.

"Concubine Lan, are you acting in awe of me? Or are you hiding something secret in your heart?"

Su Yuejin looked at the trembling Wei Lan in front of her, and her slightly cold fingertips slowly fell on her face.

"What ghost can be in my heart!"

Wei Lan was fined and grounded, and today he was reprimanded. He hated Su Yuejin so much that he temporarily diluted his fear: "The empress is already at odds with Concubine Hua..."

Su Yuejin raised her lips coldly, and suddenly pinched the woman's chin. The two poisonous snakes in her sleeves wrapped around her wrists, and her slippery tongue swept across Wei Lan's thickly greased lips.

"These two little guys don't like to hear lies. If someone dares to make a mistake on me, I'm afraid they won't show mercy."

She slowly glanced at Wei Lan's suddenly pale face, and said in a nonchalant tone: "That death is probably worse than that of Concubine Hua who was poisoned to death."

Wei Lan trembled and said, "What do you want to do! You harmed me in the forbidden palace! Your Majesty will never let you go!"

"Why would I harm you openly?"

Su Yuejin pulled her lips and chuckled, her tone full of threats: "I can let the snake sneak into your palace after a while, and crawl into your bed without anyone noticing in the middle of the night, and then..."

Wei Lan, who was in front of him, visibly shivered. His legs gave way and he fell to the ground. The color on his face was gone: "You, you..."

Su Yuejin grabbed her hair and said coldly in her ear: "If you don't want to die, just tell me who did Concubine Hua's death."

Since the person behind the scenes wanted to harm her and let Concubine Lan deliberately say such misunderstandings, if she didn't follow Concubine Lan to find out, how could she be worthy of the other party's painstaking efforts?

"I, I said! Yes, it was the Prince Xian who did it!"

Wei Lan was almost frightened to the point of losing control again, and he spoke with fear and pain: "It was the Crown Prince who told me to say that! He wants to drive a wedge between you and Your Majesty!"

Her eyes rolled rapidly, and although she was afraid, she did not fully explain.

The person who ordered her to say that was naturally her sister, Concubine Shu, but how could she betray her sister!

Su Yuejin looked at her with cold and deep eyes. After a long time, she threw her to the ground, wiped her hands and left.

Things wouldn't be that simple. If there wasn't Concubine Shu's hand behind it, she would definitely not believe it!

Why not use those people to check...

The night is getting darker.

Su Yuejin quietly took the Jasper Token, reached out from the secret passage in the small peach room, and tentatively pressed the Jasper Token in her hand on a secret door in the secret passage.

Just a moment later, there was a sound of footsteps behind him.

A Mongolian voice sounded behind her: "What's important, Master Nano?"

Sure enough, it came!

"I need you to find out the truth about the murders of Concubine Hua and Concubine Lan."

Su Yuejin quickly calmed down, lowered her voice and spoke in Mongolian: "Also, I'm afraid there's something wrong with what I said before about attacking the Marshal's Mansion within seven days. I've received some news and need to discuss it with the rest of the people.

You can invite everyone over tomorrow."

During the days when she was humiliated in Mongolia, she naturally learned a little bit of Mongolian, and now she is not a gangster. Now that she knows that Xiao Zhaolin is colluding with the Mongols, she will naturally let them go dog-eat-dog!

"I'll go check it out right now."

The man in black bowed respectfully to her. When he heard her order to invite others over, his expression was a little hesitant: "Master Nano, if you want to summon the other six leaders, the three adults of the Chadu family and Master Siwei,

It’s okay to say, but Lord Ngugu and Lord Kai… I’m afraid they may not come.”

Ngudo and Kaye!?

When Su Yuejin heard these two names, she immediately clenched her fists.

Nguduo...are the two fierce generals of Mongolia in the future! The Golden Horde warriors who are currently lurking in Daliang!

She will never forget in her life how Ngudo led a surprise attack and beheaded her brother!

What's more, she couldn't forget what she said to her personally... The Liang Dynasty was already filled with his craftsmen everywhere!

Su Yuejin's eyes instantly surged with hatred.

Judging from what the man in black said, these two people and Xiao Tao seemed to have some troubles...
