Hongli understood Ling Ruo's intention of sending people to keep an eye on Xianyue and Zhefei. These two people were the most suspicious in the whole thing, but he couldn't understand it when he stared at Mingyu.
After Yang Hai received the order and retreated, he said: "Empress Huang, why did you send people to keep an eye on the queen? Is it possible... you suspect that she harmed Yong Lian? This is impossible. The queen is Yong Lian's biological mother. It is absolutely not possible.
There is no reason or motive for doing such a thing."
"The Ai family has never suspected that the queen is the murderer. The Ai family sent people to keep an eye on her because they wanted to see who else besides Concubine Zhe often came into contact with the queen and had the opportunity to harm Yonglian."
Hongli felt relieved and said with a smile: "It's the Emperor's mother who thought carefully about it. My son and I feel inferior."
Listening to his words, Ling Ruo sighed, "The Ai family just said so much, but your queen didn't listen at all. She still stubbornly believed that the murderer must be Concubine Xian."
Hongli also felt that Mingyu's words and actions were a little too extreme, but in front of Ling Ruo, he still spoke for him, "The queen knows what Concubine Xian did to her before, and the grudge will be difficult to get rid of. I hope Huang Aniang will not do it."
If you feel strange, I will tell her properly."
"The Queen is so stubborn, I'm afraid that no matter how much you say, it will be useless." In Hongli's embarrassed look, she shook her head and said: "Don't hate when you should hate, but keep pestering when you shouldn't hate, Aijia
I really don’t know what to say about her.”
Hongli smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to answer the question. Ling Ruo also knew the dilemma in his heart, so he stopped talking about this matter and said instead: "Which one is more suspicious, the emperor thinks Xian or the second concubine Zhe?"
Hongli pondered: "In terms of scheming and means, I think Concubine Xian is more suitable, but Concubine Xian's feelings for Yonglian..." He hesitated for a long time before continuing, "Er
It doesn’t look like I’m faking it, or maybe her acting skills are so good that even I didn’t notice it.”
Ling Ruo nodded slightly and said: "The Ai family has the same idea as you. I hope it's not Concubine Xian, otherwise she will really deceive the Ai family and the emperor."
Hongli thought about her words and then said: "So... the emperor is more inclined to do what Concubine Zhe did?"
Ling Ruo glanced at him and said: "It's too early to talk about all this now, but Concubine Zhe has an eldest brother, and she is extremely dissatisfied with the Ai family's handing over the power of the palace to Concubine Xian. What she did is sad.
My family won’t find it too strange.”
Hongli nodded and said: "I hope Yang Hai will find something."
While they were talking, Xianyue returned to Yanxi Palace. At this time, the last ray of glow in the sky had disappeared. Zhichun, who was looking around in the courtyard, saw Xianyue coming back and hurriedly greeted her: "Master, you are finally back.
Just now, Eunuch Xi brought people to search our palace, and my servant asked him what was going on, but he refused to tell me, Master, what happened?"
"It's okay, it's all over." Xianyue said casually and walked towards the main hall. Zhichun was about to ask again, but Qi Kuan had already pulled her and told her roughly what happened just now. Zhichun listened.
I was so surprised that it lasted a long time
Then she came back to her senses and murmured: "The second elder brother is not sick, but poisoned?" At this point, she remembered something again and said hurriedly: "Eunuch Xi came to search Yanxi Palace, is it possible that there is suspicion?
Master poisoned the second elder brother?"
After Qi Kuan nodded, she said angrily: "The master loves the second elder brother to the point of death, so how could he harm him? It's simply ridiculous. Your Majesty... Why does your Majesty always doubt your master? It's really too much!"
Qi Kuan said coldly: "Your Majesty, it's okay. In addition to our palace, we also sent people to search the Changchun Palace. The most outrageous thing was the queen. She had no evidence, but she insisted that it was the master who did it, and even slapped the master.
, my lungs almost exploded when I watched it.”
Just as Zhichun was about to speak, A Luo walked up to them and said, "What are you doing standing still? Hurry in. The master has something to ask you to do."
After hearing this, Qi Kuan and the others hurriedly entered, and after saluting, they said, "What are your orders, Master?"
Xianyue's eyes were cold and cold as she said: "Immediately go to the Jingsi Room to find out whether Concubine Zhe and Concubine Jia have sent anyone out of the palace recently. If so, try to find out where they are going. The more careful you are, the better."
Even Imperial Physician Xu couldn't diagnose the poison in Lian, which shows that it definitely didn't come from the Imperial Pharmacy, but must have been brought in from outside."
"Master, do you suspect it's the two of them?" As soon as Qi Kuan finished speaking, Xianyue said: "I'm not sure whether Concubine Jia is involved, but Concubine Zhe must be, because she caused Yong Lian to be like this.
However, Concubine Zhe does not seem to be someone who can lay out such a subtle plot, so I conclude that there must be someone behind her.
However, there is also a person hidden. To be able to do such a thing with Concubine Zhe, there must be a stake in it. Nowadays, apart from Concubine Zhe, the only two people who have children are Jia Concubine and Yi Concubine. Concubine Yi is an honest person and does not seem to know how to do it.
People who do this kind of thing, and she has always had a bad relationship with Concubine Zhe, are the only concubines left."
"I will take care of it now." Qi Kuan was about to leave when A Luo suddenly reached out to stop him and said hesitantly: "Master, if you feel that the concubine is suspicious, why not tell the Queen Mother and let her go and investigate."
"Why do you say that?" Faced with Xianyue's inquiry, Aluo said: "Although the Queen Mother and the Emperor asked you to come back first because they did not find any evidence, I feel that they must be pursuing it secretly, and maybe they will send someone to keep an eye on them right now.
We are here. At this time, any action you take will arouse their suspicion, so it is better to avoid it as much as possible."
Xianyue listened quietly, and after she finished speaking, she said softly: "Then do you think it won't arouse suspicion if I tell the Queen Mother?"
"Tell the Queen Mother about your suspicions. How could the Queen Mother doubt you?" As soon as A'luo finished speaking, Xianyue shook her head and said, "You just said about my current situation, did you forget it in the blink of an eye?"
The palace is a suspect, and what the suspect said is very suspicious. How could the Queen Mother take it seriously? To say the least, even if it were taken seriously, the Queen Mother would still doubt whether I deliberately framed the two of them."
When she said this, A Luo had no idea, "Then... what should I do?"
"Do as I say. As long as you can find evidence that they harmed Yonglian, you will be able to clear away the suspicion on me." At this point, Xianyue narrowed her eyes and said coldly: "I
The palace has said that I will protect Yonglian for the rest of my life, and I will not let anyone dare to harm Yonglian!"
A Luo sighed and said: "This slave knows that the master is nervous about the second elder brother, but he must take care of himself first in everything. If something happens to you, the second elder brother will really be pitiful."
"I know it well." Saying this, Xianyue glanced at Qi Kuan, who nodded knowingly and left.
After he left, Zhichun whispered: "Master, dinner has been prepared. I will help you over to eat."
