Concubine De knew that what happened this time seemed to be directed at Yun Jingyan, but in fact it was directed at Chu Mo. Yun Jingyan committed suicide out of fear of crime, which may have completely confirmed Chu Mo's evil intentions.
Concubine De immediately said angrily: "Are all those people in the Punishment Department dead? If a person wants to hang himself, there will be some noise. Didn't they notice at all?"
Yun Jingyan's body was discovered by the jailer on duty early the next morning. When he was found, his body was stiff and lifeless.
When the palace maids and eunuchs below saw her getting angry, they didn't dare to say anything. They all stood there with their heads lowered and said nothing.
Concubine De felt even more depressed in her heart, but she couldn't think of a better way for a while. However, she had been in the harem for many years and had the ability to adapt to various changes. After turning around in a circle, she said: "This matter
Can I inform Prince Ming?"
The next eunuch replied: "I have sent someone to inform you a long time ago. King Ming also has spies from the Criminal Department, so he should have known the news early in the morning."
Concubine De nodded slightly, then turned around in a circle again and said: "Come here, warm up the crabapple and hibiscus cake that I made yesterday, and then follow me to Deyun Palace."
Deyun Hall is the emperor's bedroom.
As soon as she finished speaking, the people below got busy making preparations, and soon everything was ready.
Concubine De took a deep breath, and then led the people in a grand way toward Deyun Palace. However, when she got there, she was stopped by the eunuch on duty.
There was a hint of displeasure in Concubine De's eyes and she said: "I made pastries for the Emperor. The Emperor likes to eat the pastries made by me the most. If the pastries become cold and become unpalatable, you cannot afford it."
The eunuch said respectfully: "The emperor has something to say. At this time, the emperor is discussing matters with the prince inside, and no one can enter."
Thinking of what happened last time, Concubine De felt a little resentful in her heart, but she also knew that the harem had never been allowed to interfere in politics. If she came here at this time, she could only make side remarks and not be able to do much.
But as long as there is a chance at this time, she will not let it go.
It's just that she has been a beloved concubine in the palace for many years. Although she has always been very scheming, no one has ever dared to stop her. In the past, even when the emperor was discussing matters, he would ask her to wait in the side hall first, but all this was directly interrupted.
Stopped.
She bit her lip and finally said, "I'll just wait here."
When the eunuch heard what she said, he just gave a slight salute, which was clearly "as you wish."
It was just that Concubine De had been standing here for less than a quarter of an hour when the queen's sedan chair came slowly. When Concubine De saw the queen, her eyes became colder, but the queen smiled and said: "Concubine De, it's really early today.
"
Concubine De didn't want to pay attention to her at all, but because of their identities, she had to pay attention to her. She sneered and said: "It's too late for the queen."
"I'm here to see the Emperor. At this time, I see that the concubines are waiting outside the house. I think the Emperor is handling political affairs in the house. It's a bit of a coincidence that I'm here. I'll come back later." After the queen said this,
Order someone to carry her back again.
De Concubine rolled her eyes at the Queen, not wanting the Queen to suddenly turn around, and happened to see all of De Concubine's expressions. De Concubine was caught in the act, and her face was slightly uncomfortable, but she quickly came to her senses, and she and
The queen was originally at odds with each other, and both of them were well aware of it. At this time, there was nothing to pretend about.
