At her urging, Ji You brought over all the palace servants responsible for taking care of Yong Cong. Facing Mingyu's interrogation, everyone was frightened to death. They all knelt down and said that they had nothing to do with them, and they had never harmed Yong Cong with smallpox.
Cong.
Everyone's denials wore away the last bit of Mingyu's patience, and she sneered: "Everyone has a tough mouth, right? Well, I want to see if it's the board or your mouth that's tougher!" After that, she raised her hand and said:
"Pull them all down and give me a hard beating."
Ji You said cautiously: "Master, I don't know how many spanks I need to punish you?"
Mingyu said coldly: "Keep beating them until they are willing to talk."
Ji You's face turned pale and he whispered: "Master, this can easily cause death, otherwise..."
Mingyu interrupted him with an unkind expression: "I am doing things. When will it be your turn to tell me what to do? Isn't it that I treat you too politely?"
Ji You hurriedly knelt down and said: "I don't dare. I'm afraid that if I beat them to death, I will displease the emperor and blame the master."
Mingyu snorted coldly and said: "I'm not afraid of you, so what are you afraid of? Don't worry, I will bear the blame for the emperor's fault and I won't be able to harm you!"
Ji You didn't dare to speak any more and agreed again and again, and ordered people to escort the crying palace servants out. After a while, there were shrill screams in the palace, which made people feel chilly. Mingyu didn't respond to this.
She is indifferent. The only thing she cares about now is to find the murderer of Yong Cong!
After a while, the screams stopped, and Ji You bowed in and said: "Master, two people have been beaten until they can only breathe, but they always insist that they have never harmed Seventh Brother, slave...
"
Mingyu said with a gloomy expression: "Keep beating until they are willing to tell the truth. Ji You, if I see you disobeying me next time, don't blame me for being rude."
"Yes." Ji You agreed anxiously, and just as he was about to go down, Wei Jingxuan called him to stop, and then said: "Master, if we continue fighting like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to ask anything."
Mingyu said irritably: "Do you have a better way?"
"No servant." Before Mingyu could get angry, Wei Jingxuan said again: "But these are not the only people who have contact with Seventh Brother."
"Is there anyone else?" Mingyu frowned. The next moment, she turned her cold eyes to Ji You. Before she could speak, the latter had already knelt down and said repeatedly: "This servant has taken care of the seventh elder brother in the palace."
Everyone has been brought, and absolutely no one is missing." After that, he cast a look at Wei Jingxuan asking for help, "Auntie, please say something to me, everything is really here."
"Okay, no one is talking about you." With that said, Wei Jingxuan leaned over Mingyu's ear and said, "Master, you have forgotten that before New Year's Eve, the emperor took Seventh Brother out."
Mingyu's face suddenly became extremely ugly. Of course she would not doubt that Hongli would harm Yong Cong, but every time Hongli took Yong Cong out, he would inevitably go to a certain place. She said three words from between her teeth, "
Yanxi Palace!"
Wei Jingxuan's eyes flashed slightly and she said: "Concubine Xian has always had issues with you. She has tried to harm the master several times. This time... do you think it has something to do with her?"
Mingyu patted the bed angrily and gritted her teeth: "Do you still have to ask? It must be her. She didn't kill Yong Lian. She also wanted to kill Yong Cong. She wants me to die alone like her, without any children!"
Later, she was speechless.
Wei Jingxuan hurriedly knelt down and comforted: "Master, why do you say such unlucky words? I believe that you will have children in the future; moreover, even if you don't, the eldest brother, third brother, and fourth brother are all
Your child wants to call you Huang's Mother, how can Concubine Xian be compared to you!"
Mingyu didn't speak, her chest heaved violently. For a long time, she suddenly opened the quilt and was about to get out of bed. Wei Jingxuan quickly stopped her and said, "Master, where are you going?"
Mingyu said sternly: "I want to ask that bitch myself why she harmed a child who doesn't know anything!"
She only remembered that Xianyue "harmed" Yong Cong, but forgot how she harmed Chang Le. In her heart, it was always others who were wrong.
Wei Jingxuan was very satisfied with Mingyu's reaction. Everything was as she expected. With Mingyu's hatred for Xianyue, just a little provocation could start a prairie fire.
She suppressed the pride in her heart and continued to stop Mingyu: "Master, I don't want it. We are just guessing now. There is no evidence, so we can't convict Concubine Xian!"
Mingyu paused and then said: "As long as we search the Yanxi Palace, we will definitely find evidence. This time, I will never let her escape and will make her pay for Yong Cong!"
"But..." Before Wei Jingxuan could continue, Mingyu had already scolded: "You don't need to persuade me anymore, please change my clothes immediately."
Wei Jingxuan agreed with a look of helplessness, got some clothes and put them on for her, and then ordered Ji You to prepare a carriage. When Ji You came back, she whispered: "Master, it's snowing outside, otherwise we'll go later."
Mingyu glared at him fiercely and said sternly: "I can't wait any longer now, get out of the way!"
Wei Jingxuan quickly comforted her: "Don't worry, I will help you out right now. It won't be a problem for a while."
Mingyu pursed her lips tightly and said nothing. She knew it would not be a problem, but whenever she thought of Nala Xianyue killing Yong Cong, her chest felt like fire was burning, and she wanted to kill Nala Xianyue immediately.
Under her repeated urging, the four eunuchs carrying the sedan arrived at the Yanxi Palace in only half the time as usual. The gatekeepers were very surprised when they saw Mingyu appear. They never expected that she would come at this time.
, after he came to his senses, he quickly knelt down and saluted, "Your Majesty, please give me the most sincere greetings!"
Mingyu didn't even look at it, and just let the palace people carry the Jianyu inside. The palace people didn't dare to stop it, but Hongli was in the house at the moment, so he could only catch up with the Jianyu and whispered: "Empress Qi, your Majesty...
…”
Mingyu's eyes sternly interrupted her, "What's wrong? I'm coming to see your master, do you still need to go and report it first?" She thought the word "huang" used by the palace people meant "imperial concubine".
"I don't dare, it's..." The palace man was mid-sentence when Mingyu interrupted him again, "Get out of here while I'm not angry yet. Don't let me say this again!"
The palace man opened his mouth, but finally did not dare to say anything anymore. He watched Mingyu come all the way to the main hall. After Mingyu got off the shoulder carriage, he did not see Xianyue. When he asked, he found out that she was in Nuan Pavilion at the moment, so he immediately supported her.
Wei Jingxuan's hand came to Nuange, and when she opened the door, she saw Xianyue as she wished, but at the same time, there was someone she didn't expect.
Mingyu looked at the bright yellow figure and said in shock: "Your Majesty?"
Hongli was also shocked. He let go of his hand on Xianyue's shoulders and said unexpectedly: "Queen, why are you here?"
