356. Chapter 356 The Holy Majesty's Favorite Woman
Now, it is not the time for them to fight for their lives with Xia Qingtian.
Alas——, the original decision was indeed the right one.
Xia Qingtian's deployment in the palace is deeper than they imagined.
Even though they were careful every step of the way, Xia Qingtian still found out about Concubine Xiu's pregnancy.
Because of this, no one like Murong Xitian knew about him.
Because he didn't want Murong Xitian to be harmed in the slightest. This was the only thing he could do for him as an emperor and an elder brother.
Murong Leiting coughed several times.
What Murong Xitian didn't know before, there was no need to know now.
Murong Leiting put his hand on the back of Murong Xitian's hand, patted it three times, and stood up: "I'm going back to the palace, I'll leave it to you. Remember to draft an edict after you're done, sealing the imperial concubine Xiu, the imperial concubine Jin, and
The imperial concubine was buried with great etiquette."
"My brother obeys the imperial edict." Murong Xitian sent the emperor away in person, and then returned to the main hall of Ci'an Palace.
At this time, the people sent by Eunuch Lei returned, and he immediately came forward to report: "Prince Xiao, we have searched the entire palace and found no trace of Xiaoqing. No one alive, no dead body, as if she suddenly disappeared out of thin air.
.”
Disappear? It seems that Xiaoqing is the key.
"Keep looking, but it's unlikely that she's alive. Arrange people to search in some wells, dry wells, and relatively remote places with few people in the palace. In addition, arrange for people to interrogate at the gate of the palace to see if anyone is there.
Get out of the palace." Murong Xitian ordered calmly.
"yes."
As soon as Eunuch Lei led the order to retreat, Murong Xitian's sly eyes scanned the kneeling palace maids and eunuchs one by one, and finally stopped at a few imperial doctors.
"Who takes the pulse of Concubine Xiu on weekdays?" Murong Xitian's calm voice was cold and cold, but it was even more frightening, as if the voice was the cold wind in February, piercing people's hearts like a knife.
A relatively older imperial doctor took two steps forward and said, "Your Majesty, I am a minor minister."
Murong Xitian's eyes widened. This Imperial Physician Wang was one of the Imperial Physicians used by His Majesty, and he was also a physician trusted by His Majesty.
He asked for Concubine Xiu's pulse. Could it be Concubine Xiu...
Murong Xitian's expression couldn't help but become solemn: "Come closer and speak."
"Yes." Doctor Wang quickly walked closer and leaned down.
"Since you were the one asking for Concubine Xiu's pulse, did you find anything strange?" Murong Xitian always felt that something was fishy.
His Majesty's performance today clearly shows that he attaches great importance to showing off his concubine.
Concubine Xiu's identity was just a scholar in purple clothes, not the concubine of the Holy Emperor. Even if the two people were really pretending, he couldn't feel how much the Holy Emperor cared about Concubine Xiu.
It seems that the two of them have nothing to do with each other, nor do they love each other.
According to the record of favor in the palace, the Holy Emperor only visited Ci'an Palace five times.
This number is already very rare, far less than that of the much-loved Concubine Zhen, and not even comparable to the Queen and others.
What's more, what he couldn't figure out was that Concubine Xiu was just a small trick placed beside Xia Qingtian, so why take the risk of killing her?
The crime of murdering the imperial concubine is a serious one. Once any evidence of the crime is left, it will be like giving him a chance to get rid of Xia Qingtian.
Doctor Wang showed hesitation, and thought carefully: "When Wei Chen checked for Concubine Xiu's pulse, he didn't find anything wrong. It's just... this morning when he checked for Concubine Xiu's pulse as usual, he found that Concubine Xiu was pregnant.
His expression is a bit poor and he is relatively sleepy, but his pulse is normal." Now, it is not the time for them to fight for their lives with Xia Qingtian.
