Chapter four hundred and seventy seventh one step wrong
There was a lot of warmth and affection in the room, but the whole harem was in a state of uproar.
Empress Zhou was a virtuous, virtuous, gentle and indifferent person. She never cared about gains and losses in small matters, but she had unrivaled control over major matters. This was why the emperor admired her very much.
The empress can serve as a role model for all people. Needless to say, the emperor. If the empress is a narrow-minded person, the harem will be full of chaos. Fortunately, the empress of Zhou is broad-minded and has principles in the face of right and wrong. She has never shown any favoritism. This is also
Why was Concubine Xue favored in the harem, but Empress Zhou always firmly held the principle of Houyin?
The emperor asked Lian Wan'er to investigate the Liuyun poisoning case with Empress Zhou. Empress Zhou understood that this was giving her a chance to clean up the harem, and it also gave Lian Wan'er a chance to establish her power in the harem, although she didn't understand why the emperor valued Lian Wan'er so much.
, but Empress Zhou always believed that the emperor was not a fatuous and lecherous person. The reason why she attached so much importance to Lian Wan'er must not be because of her youth and beauty. It was just that she did not want to guess the deeper reason, as long as she followed the emperor's footsteps.
Originally, the imperial doctor found out that the snacks she brought were poisonous, which made Lian Wan'er feel certain to die. Unexpectedly, a miracle happened at the last moment. The emperor actually asked her to plead guilty and help the queen handle the case. She knew in her heart that the emperor
It gives her the opportunity to defend herself and prove her innocence with her own hands. If the culprit cannot be found by then, then she cannot blame the emperor for being ruthless.
The queen and Lian Wan'er investigated for a day, questioned many palace people, used threats and inducements, and used various tricks. Finally, they narrowed the target to a few people. The two of them were investigating separately, but now when they met, the suspected person actually didn't plan.
And together.
This actually made Empress Zhou have a better impression of Lian Wan'er. It seemed that this girl was young, but she was not a brainless person.
"Let's go to Concubine Xue's palace." Empress Zhou glanced at Lian Wan'er, nodded to her, and did not follow her. At this time, the two of them went their separate ways again.
A large group of people walked into the imperial concubine's palace. Queen Zhou rarely acted like a queen. She usually advocates simplicity. Everyone felt that she was deliberately keeping a low profile, just to find the best opportunity. Now they found Concubine Xue.
Here is the best opportunity to display your queenly style and show off your power.
"The Queen has been busy investigating the poisoning case for the past two days. How come you have time to come to my sister?" Xue Guifei entered the main hall with the help of the maid in no hurry, with a light smile on her lips and a look on her face.
calm.
Queen Zhou and Concubine Xue Guifei have been married to the emperor for many years and have been fighting openly and secretly for many years. Naturally, they also know each other's temperament. Although Concubine Xue Guifei instigates most of the troubles, Queen Zhou handles them calmly. There has been no win or loss over the years, but Queen Zhou
The things that have been weighing on Concubine Xue all these years have made this concubine who has been favored for many years secretly resentful.
"If nothing happens, I don't want to come all the way to see the noble concubine. I have something to ask the concubine when I come here today." When he opened his mouth, he didn't look like a sister, and he looked like he was just doing business.
Queen Zhou's posture made Xue Guifei's eyes flash, and she felt a little panic in her heart. However, she was still a concubine who had been in trouble for many years. How could she be so easily confused? She smiled hurriedly: "Is there anything that my sister can help me with?"
Do you have to be busy? Just say so, the Queen."
"Does my sister know who was poisoned in Qianling Palace?" Queen Zhou's face was slightly cold and she looked at Concubine Xue indifferently.
"Isn't it true that the palace is tight-lipped and no one is allowed to talk nonsense? Besides, the Emperor has left this matter to the Empress and Concubine Wan, but my sister can't receive any news from here." Concubine Xue spread her hands and expressed. She doesn't know anything.
Seeing her appearance, Queen Zhou said in a deep voice: "The person who was poisoned is Liu Yun, Dongfang Ye's wife."
"What?" Concubine Xue suddenly raised her head, her pupils shrank suddenly, and her thoughts flew away. It was Mu Liuyun. The person who had been in the emperor's palace for several days turned out to be Mu Liuyun, and he was not the emperor's favorite. woman?
"Why is my sister so surprised? Is it because what I said is different from what my sister thought?" Empress Zhou locked her eyes on Concubine Xue, trying to find clues on her face.
After her momentary gaffe, Concubine Xue immediately regained her composure, lowered her head to prevent the queen from seeing the annoyance in her eyes, and sneered reluctantly: "No, my sister doesn't know anything."
This time, she really regretted it.
She originally thought that the poison would make her unconscious, but she didn't expect that the queen actually touched her. However, she believed that this matter could not be found in her place. Otherwise, the queen would not just come to ask questions as usual today, but I brought someone to arrest her.
But even so, she still regretted it deeply in her heart. She didn't expect that the person living in Qianling Palace was actually Liuyun. If she had known it was her, why would she do this? She was originally a proud and arrogant person, so it didn't hurt that Yang Xin After a few itchy words, I couldn't help but strike harshly. Now that I think about it, this thing is full of weirdness.
"I came here just to ask questions as usual. It's okay if you don't know. I think you have nothing to do with that Liuyun girl. You wouldn't be so cruel last time when you were unhappy at the reception banquet. That's why I still believe in you." Empress Zhou always spoke impeccably, and she spared no effort in hitting her with a stick and giving her candy, leaving Concubine Xue speechless.
Seeing her bowing her head in thought, Queen Zhou stood up and prepared to leave. After thinking for a while, she said: "The emperor has ordered a thorough investigation. If my sister gets any news, he must send someone to tell me. Otherwise, there will be no result in this matter, and the same is true for the emperor." I won’t let it go. I dare to poison the Qianling Palace. This is really courageous..."
After saying this, Queen Zhou left.
Concubine Xue, however, was sitting there, her thoughts racing away. The queen's words were echoing in her ears over and over again. It seemed that this matter could not end so easily.
She was really lost, so she was instigated by Yang Xin and became so angry.
No... She suddenly paused. She finally knew what the problem was. The person in Qianling Palace had nothing to do with her, but it had a lot to do with Yang Xin. She didn't want to marry him again and again. For Dongfang Ye, would it even make Empress Dowager Yang intervene?
Only then did she finally understand that her feelings were being used as a pawn this time.
She secretly clenched her fists. She didn't expect that she had fought so many women in the harem for so many years, but this time she would fall into the hands of a little girl. Thinking that the girl was brazenly saying that she wanted to help, she actually... After agreeing to her in this way, she had the audacity to go to the emperor's palace to poison her. She should have thought that with the emperor's character, how could he whitewash peace?
In fact, one wrong step leads to another wrong step.
