Chu Shen frowned, let go of his hand, patted her slightly, and she stood up and walked to stand next to him.
The little eunuch went out to deliver the order.
Within a moment, Concubine De, Concubine Ni and others entered in a hurry, looking panicked.
"I have met the emperor, the imperial concubine."
"Why are you so flustered? Tell me slowly." Chu Shen waved his hand to let them get up. He actually knew the reason in his heart. It was probably because of the concubine. He turned to look at Yun Qin and smiled, "
Qin'er, please go in and rest first."
The other people's eyes all fell on Yun Qin's little face.
Yunqin was very smart. He had seen Han Su hesitate when talking about Concubine Hui, and now he saw so many women coming to make trouble. Could it be that something happened to Concubine Hui?
She knew that he didn't want her to think wildly, so he didn't want her to know some things, but she didn't want to be kept in the dark.
She tugged at his sleeves and shook her head, her eyes very stubborn and firm. Seeing that she had no choice but to do so, Chu Shen turned around and asked Concubine De, "Are you here for the concubine Hui?"
"Your Majesty." Concubine Hua spoke before Concubine De, "I don't know what happened to sister Hui Bin, but she was so upset that she secretly ran to the back mountain to jump into the pool. Come to think of it, we all had tea together before and had a good chat.
He is dead now."
She pretended to test the corners of her eyes, "I really feel sorry for my concubine."
"Okay." Chu Shen waved his hand impatiently, "There will be a dedicated person to investigate this matter. You don't need to ask further questions. Just go back."
Hui concubine is dead?
Yunqin's head exploded with a "buzz", and he couldn't accept the news for a while.
How could concubine Hui die when she was so good? Think about that gentle person, whom I saw in the Royal Garden some time ago. She was still fine, but there was always a hint of sadness between her eyebrows.
He never fights about anything and never talks about anything. He always lives alone in Chengyun Palace. He rarely comes out and walks around, and he never causes trouble.
How could such a quiet and weak woman die on the mountain behind?
There is definitely something fishy about this.
"Your Majesty." Sima Mingyu suddenly knelt down and kowtowed deeply, his eyes filled with tears, "My sister's death is so inexplicable and unjust! I hope the Emperor can conduct a thorough investigation and give our Sima family an explanation."
"Sister, she has suffered all her life and has only had a few good days." What Sima Mingyu said was clearly complaining that the emperor did not take good care of her as a concubine. Now that he allowed her to die in vain, it was a heavy responsibility.
"I hope the emperor can take my father's sake and bury my sister well."
The emperor's black jade-like eyes sank slightly, "You don't need to tell me, I will naturally investigate the matter thoroughly and give an explanation to the Sima family. As for the funeral, we should wait until the truth comes to light..."
"Your Majesty!" Sima Mingyu kowtowed with tears in his eyes, "My sister has been soaking in the water for a long time. The uncle said that the body showed signs of decay. It was true that it was not long ago. I sincerely ask the Emperor to let my sister be laid to rest as soon as possible."
.My sister’s life is really pitiful. I don’t want her to have peace even if she dies, wuwuwuwu.”
It's so fake. The way Sima Mingyu is crying is really disgusting.
Yunqin has always been at odds with this woman and has not had the slightest affection for her since she was a child.
At this moment, this act of soliciting sympathy was really poorly done. Before Mingzhu's body was cold, Sima Mingyu hurriedly tried to climb up on his sister's body to attract the emperor's attention. It was really abominable!
Qin'er snorted coldly from the side and said with a sarcastic smile, "Minggui, I have never seen how affectionate you are with sister Hui Bin. Last time I saw you sisters in the imperial garden, but we took a wrong turn. You
I didn't even glance at your sister from the corner of my eye. Why are you so sad at this moment? Your acting is too fake."
Sima Mingzhu's pink face darkened, and she glanced at Qin'er with resentful eyes.
"Empress." The new little eunuch was even more speechless towards the empress. He stepped forward and whispered, "Don't be so rude in front of the emperor."
"Okay, please step back." Chu Shen waved his hand to him, feeling a little upset because he couldn't even eat in peace.
"Minggui, you don't have to worry about the corpse. I will naturally instruct the Taiyuan Hospital to find a proper way to preserve it. Since this matter is not clear yet, it will be useless for you to say more. Just go back." Chu Shen's eyes darkened and he lowered his voice.
He said, "I don't want to hear some gossip, and I don't want the palace to cause panic, so you all should keep your mouth shut, do you understand?"
"It's the Emperor."
Chu Shen didn't want to say anything more, so he waved his hand, and the concubines could only turn around and leave sadly. When they left, they probably glanced at the imperial concubine, and that glance contained a lot...
After being disturbed by this matter, both of them felt that their hearts were heavy, and they were not in the mood to laugh at the meal. They hurriedly drank a few mouthfuls of soup and then had their meal removed.
After taking a shower and cleaning, they both climbed onto the bed with wet hair.
Xiao Shen's eyebrows were deeply clustered.
Qin'er snuggled into his arms, gently pushed his head with her fingertips, and whispered comfort, "Don't think too much, everything has happened, we can only find a way to solve it. Sima Yanlang will definitely enter the palace tomorrow to recruit troops.
When asking for guilt, if you argue that it is under investigation, he has nothing to do with you. In short, it is not a matter of suicide. The emperor did not force her to die. There is probably something fishy about this matter. Although Mingzhu is weak, he does not look like someone who would seek death."
She paused, stretched out her hand to hook his neck, looked into his smiling eyes and said, "Tomorrow I will go to the place where the accident occurred to have a look. If it was his murder, there must be clues to follow, don't worry."
"You always surprise people, Qin'er. Go and have a look at the place where the accident happened. Aren't you afraid?" He smiled and tapped the tip of her nose.
"What's there to be afraid of? I'm not afraid of living people. I'm afraid of dead people." She sneered. She was the one who didn't believe in ghosts and gods. If Mingzhu turned into a ghost and came to see her, wouldn't it be better? She could tell her the cause of her death.
Just say it and don't bother to check it out.
"But the emperor wants to keep his word and will release Tian'er and the others tomorrow." She said uneasily.
Chu Shen frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded helplessly. At most, he could send more people to pay attention to those people in the future.
Qin'er nodded with satisfaction, hugged him and fell asleep, saying nothing all night.
The next day, Tian'er and the others were released early in the morning. Fortunately, none of them suffered any injuries. They just looked tired and worried. When they saw their mother-in-law coming back, they cheered so earth-shatteringly and cried that they couldn't stop crying.
Yunqin then sent the new group of eunuchs and maids back to the House of Internal Affairs, especially the new little eunuch who was not sure about the situation and kept teaching him a lesson. He really wanted to kick him away and pour out the night fragrance.
After taking care of Tian'er and the others, she went alone to the back hill of the Royal Garden to see the pool where Hui Concubine drowned.
