Although Xianyue had no appetite, she still went over to eat some. After that, she waited for Qi Kuan to come back and waited until the moon was above the treetops. Then the latter hurried back and said: "Master, I have asked about this. This month, Concubine Zhe
They have never sent anyone out of the palace, but the concubine Jia did go out twice, but they both said they were going out to visit their families. As for the specific whereabouts, they don't know, and the servants didn't dare to ask more questions for fear that they would become suspicious."
"Jia Concubine..." Xianyue tapped the armrest, not knowing what she was thinking, Qi Kuan said tentatively: "Master, do you want me to send someone to watch Concubine Jia Concubine to see if she has contact with Concubine Zhe?"
Xianyue said coolly: "You must keep an eye on her, but even if you find out that she is in contact with Concubine Zhe, it will be of no use. After all, they are both concubines, and there is no problem in interacting with each other. The key is how to find her and Concubine Zhe.
What’s the connection between this matter?”
Zhichun said from the side: "The best and most direct connection is naturally the poison that harmed the second elder brother, but none of us know where the concubines are. Even if we know, we can't go to Yonghe Palace to search."
A Luo frowned and said: "Master, if you want to search Yonghe Palace, you must give an order from the Queen Mother or the Emperor. We don't have that power, otherwise..."
Xianyue knew what she was going to say, raised her hand and said: "Don't worry, let me think again."
That night, she stayed awake all night. As for Concubine Zhe, who was in Changchun Palace, she fell asleep, but she was awakened by a nightmare after falling asleep for a while. After that, she could not fall asleep and kept her eyes open until dawn.
Xiao Qizi brought a copper basin in to clean Concubine Zhe's face. Seeing her sluggish look, she said softly: "Master, are you still worried about the second elder brother?"
Concubine Zhe put on her shoes and said irritably: "The Queen Mother and the Emperor are obviously suspicious of me. Can I not be worried?"
"The Emperor has sent people to search the entire Changchun Palace. Nothing was found. You cannot be convicted without evidence. Plus, the Queen believes in you so much, so nothing will happen to you."
"I don't have it here, but..." Although there were only her and Xiao Qizi in the inner hall, Concubine Zhe still lowered her voice and said: "There is it at Yuguiren's place. If they find out about Yuguiren's place, then...
Too bad.”
"As long as you don't come into contact with Mr. Yugui, no one will think of Mr. Yugui, so you can rest assured." Xiao Qizi's words reassured Concubine Zhe a little, and then she said: "Speaking of Mr. Yugui, I am really
I was so angry that I kept saying that those medicines were enough to kill the second elder brother, but in the end, he was not alive and well."
Xiao Qizi sighed and said: "Ren Yugui doesn't want to do this. It's all because of Dr. Xu's troubles. If it weren't for him, the second elder brother would have died long ago."
"Mr. Xu!" Concubine Zhe snorted coldly: "I don't believe that he can protect the second elder brother for a lifetime. I will kill him sooner or later. The only one who can inherit the throne is Yong Huang!"
Xiao Qizi said flatteringly: "The second elder brother looks like he is short-lived and blessed at first glance, unlike the eldest elder brother who is full of heaven and has deep blessings. To be honest, apart from his status as the eldest son, he is not enough to compete with the eldest elder brother.
Comparable."
His words made Concubine Zhe very happy, and she felt better, and said: "Help me go to the Imperial Garden for a walk."
When Xiao Qizi was helping Concubine Zhe to the imperial garden, Xianyue appeared in Yonghe Palace. When Concubine Jia learned that she was coming, she hurriedly greeted her. After saluting, she smiled and said, "Why are you here today?"
Xianyue said with a half-smile but not a smile: "Listening to Concubine Jia's words, it seems that she is blaming me for not coming here enough on weekdays."
"How dare I, my concubine." Saying this, Jia Concubine welcomed Xianyue to the main hall and sat down. After a while of greetings, Xiayue said, "Have you heard about what happened yesterday?"
Jia Concubine bit her red lips lightly and said, "Is the empress talking about the second elder brother?" After Xianyue nodded, she continued: "I have heard something about the second elder brother. He is not sick, but someone.
Harm."
"Yes, fortunately, Dr. Xu's wonderful hand rejuvenated the second elder brother's poison, otherwise it would have been unimaginable. Now the Queen Mother and the Emperor are tracking down the person who harmed the second elder brother, and they don't know who is so bold." At this point, Flaws
Yue's eyes turned and she said, "Have you ever heard of anything, Concubine Jia?"
Concubine Jia was startled, shook her head and said, "I have been taking care of my third elder brother in the palace all day long. I don't often have contact with people, and I have never heard anything."
Xianyue said this to Jia Concubine deliberately, wanting to test her reaction, but Jia Concubine's behavior was normal and there was no sign of panic, as if she really had no idea about it.
After all...she is really not a concubine, but she is so good at acting that even she can't see through it.
Seeing that Xianyue was sitting there and not speaking for a long time, Princess Jia said, "My queen, what are you thinking about?"
Xianyue came back to her senses and said, "It's nothing. I'm just wondering who killed the second elder brother."
The concubine sighed and said: "I really can't imagine this concubine, but with the Queen Mother and the Emperor investigating, the murderer will definitely not be able to escape."
After sitting for a while, Xianyue stood up and left. After leaving Yonghe Palace, Xianyue did not go far. She stood in a hidden corner and paid attention to the movement of Yonghe Palace. She stood for a full hour and did not see him.
When Concubine Jia came out, Xianyue said to herself: "It's strange that there has been no movement for so long. Is it really not her?"
Qi Kuan said from the side: "Master, if it is not the Jia concubine, then the only suspicious concubine is the Yi concubine."
"Concubine Yi..." Xianyue said hesitantly: "Did I really misjudge her?"
Qi Kuan thought for a while and suggested: "Otherwise, I will also send people to keep an eye on Yi Concubine?"
Xianyue was silent for a moment, nodded in agreement and said, "That's fine. If there is any movement among these three people, they will immediately report it to me."
When Xianyue was tracking down Jia and Yi, Yuguiren was listening to Dongmei's report. She knew that there would be big changes in the palace, so since yesterday, she had been sending people to quietly listen to what was going on in the palace.
.
After reporting the information she had obtained, Dongmei said worriedly: "Master, the Queen Mother and the Emperor did not deal with Concubine Xian immediately, which shows that they were suspicious of Concubine Xian's murder of the second elder brother; Concubine Zhe was then
She was also taken to Cining Palace for interrogation. Do you think...are they suspicious of Concubine Zhe?"
Yu Guiren glanced at her and chuckled, "Are you scared?"
"This servant is worried that something will happen to the master. If Concubine Zhe is found out, she will definitely confess the master. When the time comes..."
Yu Guiren interrupted her, "First, she has not been found out yet; second..." Yu Guiren smiled deeply and said: "Even if she is found out, I can still find a way to let her take on everything by herself."
Without waiting for Dongmei to ask, she already stood up and said: "Let's go, help me go to Changchun Palace."
Hearing this, Dongmei quickly dissuaded her and said, "Master, if Concubine Zhe is really suspected by the Queen Mother, wouldn't you be in trouble if you go over now?"
