Emperor Beili came out of the palace and frowned even more when he saw this scene.
"I beg the emperor to severely punish Yuanyintang and thoroughly investigate the murder in Sifang Mountain." Concubine Zhan knelt down in a loud voice.
"I have found out clearly about this matter. Ye Qianning was not shot dead by Yuan Yintang. What happened in Sifang Mountain was caused by rogue bandits. Tomorrow I will have people investigate the gathering point of rogue bandits in Sifang Mountain and strangle them with all their strength." Emperor Beili said.
Concubine Zhan lowered her head, with a hint of shock in her eyes: "Your Majesty, Sifangshan Yuanyintang, had murderous intentions for Zhan Chi and his party, and also shot Ye Qianning. Did your Majesty really find out?"
"The Eighth Prince was kidnapped. Yuan Yintang got my order to pursue it. There are many bandits in the mountains in all directions. Zhan Chi and his party happened to be in the mountains. It is inevitable that there will be no misunderstanding. For this, I will impose a heavy penalty on Yuan Yintang."
Everyone, please explain." Emperor Beili stepped forward and bent down to help Concubine Zhan up from the ground.
Concubine Zhan subconsciously avoided her hand and raised her head, her eyes were cold. Even though the Zhan family didn't send her a message about Sifang Mountain, she knew about it.
Did the emperor deliberately want to protect Yuan Yintang? Is she worse than a charlatan if she killed her granddaughter?
She killed several generations of generals in her family to death in battle and made numerous military exploits for Beili. The emperor had long forgotten about her.
Emperor Beili's hand failed, and he froze for a second without getting angry. He took her arm again and brought her up: "My dear concubine, you have many things to worry about when you are pregnant. Don't worry about it. The most important thing is to raise the baby with peace of mind.
.”
Concubine Zhan's face was already very ugly. She tightened her fingers and said coldly: "Has your Majesty really found out? Ye Qianning was sent out of the palace by my concubine's people. Whether she abducted the eighth prince or not, my concubine knows everything, and I know it clearly."
The concubine also found out that on the day the eighth prince left the palace, the young eunuch from Concubine Yuan Gui's palace had been to the eighth prince's yard, and then the eighth prince left the palace in a hurry. Also, the concubine's people sent Ye Qianning back from the palace.
When he saw the eunuchs and supervisors beside Concubine Yuan Gui rushing out of the palace, I thought something was strange and asked someone to follow me out. Your Majesty guessed what my concubine's people had discovered."
After she finished speaking, without waiting for Emperor Beili to say anything, she added coldly: "The bandits that the emperor mentioned are all people from the Bajin Gambling House in Kyoto City. If I remember correctly, this gambling house is somewhat related to the Yaowang Sect.
Bar."
Emperor Beili thought about what she said about beheading Concubine Yuan. If it was true as she said, Concubine Yuan was the one who set the mountain on fire?
How can it be.
"Concubine Yuan Gui was able to have people set fire to the mountain before the officers and soldiers went up the mountain. It was obvious that she knew that the Eighth Prince was at Sifang Mountain. Has the Emperor ever thought about how Concubine Yuan Gui knew that the Eighth Prince was at Sifang Mountain?" It has been two days since Concubine Yuan was killed.
With one eye on Concubine Yuan Gui, she was very sure when news of a fire in Sifang Mountain came from the palace.
Emperor Beili was silent for a while and said in a deep voice: "I will have someone investigate what my concubine said."
"Your Majesty, there is no need for interrogation. The witnesses and evidence are available to both ministers and concubines. If your Majesty does not believe it, you can ask Concubine Yuan Guifei to confront you."
Emperor Beili looked a little impatient: "Concubine, do you think what I said is not clear enough? I will investigate this matter. Please step aside first."
"If the emperor wants to investigate, the truth of every matter will be revealed in an instant. If the emperor intends to cover it up, the result will be that the bandits set fire, Ye Qianning abducted the eighth prince out of the palace, and died unjustly. Yuanyintang did a good job in saving people, punish the minister?
I think the emperor will reward him heavily." Concubine Zhan curled her red lips and spoke sternly.
"Your concubine, watch your words." Emperor Beili scolded in a deep voice.
