"It's my fault, I'd like to ask E Niang..." Before Yongzhang could finish speaking, Su said: "E Niang doesn't blame you, but feels sorry for you. If it wasn't for E Niang, how could you carry someone like this?
Your sins, mother-in-law... I'm really sorry for you."
Yongzhang said hurriedly: "Eniang, don't say that. If Eniang hadn't been pregnant in ten months, there would be no children. It is right for the children to do anything for you. Besides, besides Concubine Yi, the children themselves also have children."
Danger."
Su nodded and was about to give Yongzhang a few more words when she accidentally saw a tear in his sleeve and said in surprise: "How come your clothes are torn, but something got caught on them?"
When she said this, Yongzhang noticed the tear on his sleeve and said blankly: "I don't know, I don't know, this dress was put on yesterday, and there was no damage at that time." Seeing Su's solemn expression, he said
He said disapprovingly: "My son, just go back and change into another one. There are many clothes over there, so it won't be a problem."
"I'm not worried about this, but..." Su Shi paused and then said, "Think carefully about where you hooked me."
Yong Zhang thought carefully for a while and said uncertainly: "I remember that when I came out of Chonghua Palace last night, I was scratched by a branch. It happened to be this arm. Maybe it was scratched at that time."
Su looked solemnly at the tear on Yongzhang's sleeve. It could not be closed together. There was only a small gap. "Yongzhang, please try to go to Chonghua Palace as soon as possible."
Yongzhang asked doubtfully: "Why?"
"If this hole was really opened by a branch of Chonghua Palace last night, then there must be a small piece of cloth hanging there. Once the queen discovers it and faces your clothes, what do you think will happen?
consequences."
Yong Zhang was covered in cold sweat by what she said, and he endured the stickiness on his body and said in horror: "The queen should...should not notice such a trivial matter."
Su shook her head and said: "If you are not afraid of ten thousand, you are afraid of the worst. Only by eliminating all possible evidence can you feel at ease."
Yongzhang said in panic: "I know, I will go there as soon as possible."
"Well, be careful about the injury on your arm. Don't let anyone discover it. Remember! Also..." Su frowned and said, "Did you say that Liu Qi and Xiao Mengzi were taken to the Criminal Punishment Department?"
After Yongzhang nodded, she added: "Go and tell your concubine to be careful of these two people. If they tell the truth, our situation will be very dangerous."
After saying a few more words like this, Yongzhang left Xinzheku and walked all the way to Yimeixuan. Because Hongli was looking for the person who was bitten by Huang, there was no one in Yimeixuan, so he went straight
Go in and tell Wei Jingxuan truthfully what Su said.
Wei Jingxuan nodded and sneered: "The emperor mobilized all the troops to summon all the palace people to Chonghua Palace. Sure enough, it was for this matter. Third Brother, on your arm..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yongzhang rolled up his sleeves, exposed the burns on his arms, and told the story again. Wei Jingxuan said happily: "It's not easy for Sister Su to be able to make such a decisive decision. It's just because of the suffering of Third Brother."
Yong Zhang glanced down and said, "I was just careless. If I hadn't been bitten by Imperial Concubine Yi, nothing would have happened."
"I will pay attention to the matter between Liu Qi and Xiao Mengzi. In addition, I have invited Concubine Shu to testify for Xiao Yuanzi, saying that Xiao Yuanzi saw her last night and it is impossible for him to go to Chonghua Palace. Now.
The most troublesome thing is the strip of cloth you scraped off by a branch. If someone finds out, it will be really difficult to explain it."
"Yes, so after talking to the empress, I will go to Chonghua Palace and try to get it." Facing Yongzhang's words, Wei Jingxuan nodded and said: "I have to go, but before that, you have to first
Go to my brother's place to change clothes, otherwise you will be sending evidence to the queen. In addition, immediately after changing
Burn this piece of clothing. This way, even if they discover the strip of cloth first, there will be no way to deal with it; given your status, the emperor will not convict you as long as there is no conclusive evidence." As he said,
She sighed and said, "It's a pity that I'm in confinement now, otherwise I could have said a few words to you."
"There is nothing we can do about this." After a pause, Yongzhang cupped his hands and said, "If the queen has no other instructions, I will go back to my brother's house first."
"Okay, be careful yourself." Following Wei Jingxuan's words, Yongzhang hurried to his elder brother's house. At the same time, Xiaowu also returned to Chonghua Palace with his people.
Hongli had an ugly expression on his face: "You said that no one in the palace has the marks of a recent bite?"
Xiao Wu endured the exhaustion all over his body and said: "Yes, I have checked all the palace residents, and no trace of fresh bites was found on any of them."
Mrs. Hu immediately said: "It's impossible, someone must have missed it and not checked."
Xiao Wu lowered his eyes and said: "Returning to the Imperial Concubine, all the palace people recorded in the records of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, servants and masters have been checked, and indeed no one has been bitten."
Yehenala raised her eyebrows and said, "So, Concubine Yi committed suicide?"
Hongli turned his attention to Wu Zuo, who quickly bowed and said: "Returning to the imperial concubine, maybe the blood on the imperial concubine's teeth did not come from biting someone, but there are indeed two scars on her neck. This cannot be wrong, unless
She hung herself halfway, then took off the white silk and hung herself again, otherwise it would not have been suicide."
Xianyue glanced at Yehenala and said to Hongli: "Your Majesty, Concubine Yi was harmed by an adulterer. Please, Your Majesty, please give her justice and don't let her go away in an unknown way."
Hongli nodded solemnly and said, "I promise you."
Mrs. Hu glanced at the palace attendants who were still standing outside and said: "Your Majesty, this matter has a great relationship with your concubine. Xiao Yuanzi is also your concubine's person, and he went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to see Liu Qi last night.
Taking these points together, he is more suspected than anyone else.
Everyone wants to be big, so I thought it was time to send him to the Shenxing Department and let Chief Manager De Haosheng interrogate him." Chief Manager De is the chief manager of the Shenxing Department. Whenever the palace people see him, no one is afraid of him, lest he himself will one day
will fall into his hands.
Yehenala bowed her knees and said: "I have just testified for Xiao Yuanzi. Your Majesty, you don't believe me?"
Mrs. Hu slightly raised her red lips and said: "How can I not believe Concubine Shu? But Concubine Shu can only testify for Xiao Yuanzi for two hours at most. Apart from Haishi and Zishi, where did Xiao Yuanzi go?
Concubine Shu doesn’t know what she did and can’t testify about it, right?”
Yehenala was speechless by her question. Before she could think of words, Hu said again: "This matter is related to the life and death of Concubine Yi. I think it is always better to be more careful."
After saying that, she turned her gaze to Hongli, lowered her eyes and said, "I wonder what the emperor wants?!"
Hongli only hesitated for a moment and then said: "I will do as you say."
