Seeing her stunned, Shen Huan frowned and said: "Go quickly! You were there when Xue Ling died, lie down like her!"
Although Hua Zhi didn't know why, but seeing her serious expression, he knew that this matter was of great importance, so he didn't dare to neglect it, and immediately lay down on the bed.
Shen Huan said: "Do you still remember that before Xue Ling died, she wanted to tell us who gave her the hollyhock sachet? At that time, she pointed out the window with her finger...Teacher, please stand outside, just stand here. "Under the window"
Cui Shanggong went out as instructed, and Shen Huan said to Bilian: "Light up all the palace lanterns, make them bright as day!"
Bilian quickly led people to light the lights inside and outside the house. Shen Huan looked at Huazhi lying on the bed and asked, "Look outside, can you see Cui Shanggong?"
Hua Zhi tried his best to look outside, but couldn't see clearly. He said helplessly: "The palace lantern in this room is brighter than outside, so you can't see outside. Madam, what's wrong with you?"
Shen Wen sneered: "When Xueling died, it was just as bright inside and as dark outside, but how could she see the people outside the window?" She suddenly laughed, and her smile was extremely sad. Cui Shang Gong Wai felt sad when she heard this, and hurriedly came in to help her.
Shen Huan said: "We were all wrong at the time! Xueling didn't see anyone outside at all. What she was pointing to was not the window, but the paper-cut flower on the window!"
Everyone followed her gaze and looked at the paper-cut on the window. The color of the paper-cut had faded and was no longer bright, but was covered with a light gray color.
The paper-cutting is not in the style of flowers and birds, but in the shape of one word - the word "福"!
"Blessing?" Cui Shanggong and Huazhi read out at the same time
"It's related to the word '福'... Oh my God!" Hua Zhi seemed to suddenly remember, and his mouth opened wide in shock, "It's... it's her..."
Shen Wen sneered: "Yes, that's her! She was the one who gave the hollyhocks to Xue Ling! It was she who asked Xue Ling to leak the news to Concubine Qing! And... she was the one who killed Fang Jieyu! I'm in vain. Being so smart, I thought that just because she said a few words for elegance and justice, I thought she was a useful person! I was so confused! I actually forgot that her surname is Yao! She is from the Queen Mother's family!"
Just now in Zhujin Palace, Qi Concubine whispered in her ear: "The person the Queen Mother wants me to be loyal to is not Concubine Pei, but the real murderer of Fang Jieyu - Yao Ronghua!"
Yao Ronghua, Yao Siying!
The Yao Siying in Shen Huan's heart has always been dignified and polite, with a measured advance and retreat.
She did not fight for favor, did not seek refuge with any of the concubines, and was not that close to the Queen Mother.
However, it is this reserve that makes Shen Huan hate her less!
It was the confrontation with Concubine Qing outside Chen Palace that made Shen Huan feel that she was an upright person!
This good impression made Shen Han upgrade her to two levels in a row! Shen Han felt that she was a useful talent and should be kept by his side to train her!
I didn't expect that such a person who was considered "upright" by Shen Huan would be the real murderer of Xian Ya's sister! Besides Xian Ya and Fang Jieyu, who else was there? Who else was she plotting against?
Could it include Shen Huan herself?
"Yao Ronghua is so secretive that even this palace is kept in the dark by her! Today's discovery must not be leaked to anyone! For a treacherous person like her, she must be hit with one blow, otherwise, she will be beaten to death. You will suffer the consequences instead! Paint it, do you understand?"
Hua Zhi was still in shock. After hearing Shen Huan's words, he bit his lip, blood oozing from his lips, and then he said in a trembling voice: "Yes!"
Shen Wen took her hand and squeezed it gently.
Hua Zhi smiled bitterly and said: "I just didn't expect that it would be her! On weekdays, she gets along so well with us. She often comes and walks around when nothing happens, just chatting and laughing to pass the time in Jingyi Palace. But, living here She was looking at her elegant sister who was killed by her! Was she not afraid at all? Didn’t she feel guilty at all? When I think about her smiling face now, I shudder!"
Shen Huan said: "We should be more careful with people like this before we draw them. You have to be careful not to show any flaws in front of her. She is from the Queen Mother's family. I can't deal with it easily. Therefore, I am not sure of victory. I won’t get rid of her.”
Huazhi nodded heavily and said: "Don't worry! For sister Xianya, even if I endure my nausea, I will fight her to the end!"
Shen Huan said goodbye to Hua Zhi and then returned to Chen Palace.
When they reached the door, Chun'er and Xiangming hurriedly came out and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty is finally back. Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time."
Shen Huan stood still, took a deep breath, hid all his emotions in his heart, and walked in expressionlessly.
Xichen sat on the huanghuali wooden chair and tapped the tabletop with his knuckles. When he saw Shen Huan coming in, his bluish face finally relaxed a little and asked in a deep voice: "Where are you going?"
"I went to Qi Concubine's place" Shen Huan didn't hide it
Xichen frowned slightly and said, "Since she is an ominous person, why are you going to see her?"
Shen Huan sat down next to him and said: "Qi Concubine is willing to confess. She was bewitched by the emperor only after being threatened by someone. That person is..."
"I know, but I can't do anything to her."
Shen Huan smiled indifferently at the expected answer. General Pei must have asked him again for a reward! Is it a title, land, or countless gold and silver jewels this time?
Seemingly knowing what Shen Huan was thinking, Xichen said: "In two days of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will make Concubine Pei a first-class virtuous concubine."
Shen Huan was shocked, but she quickly understood that this was what General Pei wanted, not what Xichen really wanted to give!
Staring at him, he said: "In addition, Qi Bi is feeling a little unwell, so I asked the imperial doctor to come over when I went to see her."
Xichen looked sideways at her and sighed softly: "As a result, the imperial doctor told me that she is pregnant."
Shen Huan smiled and said unintentionally: "I haven't congratulated the emperor yet! There is finally good news in the palace."
Xichen still stared at her, as if he didn't hear what she said
Shen Huan said: "Is the emperor so happy? Why don't you say anything?"
Xichen withdrew his gaze, looked squarely at the gold bricks in front of him, and asked, "Are you sure?"
Shen Huan said seriously: "Yes, Imperial Physician Sun's pulse, and I was watching from the side, it should be correct."
Xichen said indifferently: "Tomorrow, please ask the chief of the hospital and the left court judge to take another pulse!"
Shen Huan nodded and said: "Since Qi Concubine is pregnant, there is no ominous reason. Will we let her out tomorrow?"
Xichen said calmly: "Follow the queen's wish!"
Shen Huan smiled and said: "In addition, pregnant concubines should be promoted to the throne. Although Qi Concubine has only been promoted to the throne not long ago, it stands to reason..."
"As the Queen wishes," Xichen interrupted her
Shen Wen was stunned and silent, but Xichen said: "The Queen seems to be particularly concerned about Qi Bin's pregnancy?"
Shen Huan laughed again: "If there is a baby in the palace, can I not be interested in being the queen? Your Majesty must not forget that when these children are born, they will all call me "mother"!
Xichen suddenly stood up, stood in front of Shen Huan, and picked her up in a cross hug. Before Shen Huan could exclaim, Xichen had already carried her to the inner room, leaned over and whispered in her ear: "Even those who have only been favored a few times have Qi concubines are already here so soon, and Huan Huan has the most favors, so why not yet? Huan Huan, when will you also give me a child?"
Shen Huan was panic-stricken. Thinking of the purse with cold spices on her body, she felt panic in her heart, fearing that he would find out, and also felt cold pride: I will never give birth to another child for you!
