Chapter 189 The person who ordered it was Wu Meiren from Tingliyuan
Listening to the emperor's question, the shadow guard replied: "There is someone who has pointed the finger, and we will be able to confirm it after today."
Yuchi Gong said a faint "hmm" and ordered Yang Zhixu to be captured and interrogated immediately. He wanted to know the person behind Yang Zhixu.
Shadow Guards should step back.
Yuchi Gong was stunned for a moment. Over the past few years, key clues to the death of his brother Yuchixu had emerged, but he couldn't be happy.
All of this should have come to light four years ago, in order to commemorate the soul of his deceased brother, and it took several years to figure it out.
He has been searching for too long, too long to be ashamed of his brother...
When the previous dynasty trapped the guilty ministers, the harem was in turmoil.
As screams erupted in Jinghong Hall, the balance and dullness of the harem were broken, and chaos ensued.
"Quick, go and report to the Queen Mother!"
Soon, the atmosphere in the entire harem became tense.
In Zhuang Ning Palace.
The Queen Mother was bored in the recliner. She only felt pain in her shoulders, neck, waist and back. Massaging it could only relieve it but not cure it.
Listening to the chirping of cicadas outside, she became more and more irritated and called to people: "Come here, stick all those things away."
Qiu Yan, who was fanning himself, handed the fan to another palace maid and then left with concern.
Since the beginning of summer, the Queen Mother has not been able to eat well or sleep well. She feels lazy and does not like to move. She feels tired everywhere and has no energy to do anything.
I feel comfortable only in the early morning and evening when the weather is cool, but I feel so dry at night that I find it difficult to fall asleep.
I also asked the imperial doctor to check for pulse every day. The imperial doctor said it was bitter summer, and he treated the strong internal fire, but it didn't relieve much.
The imperial doctor instead asked the Queen Mother to move around more. She was covered in sticky sweat even if she didn't move, let alone move?
The Queen Mother did not obey and stayed in Zhuangning Palace every day.
The emperor sent someone to say hello every day, and she said it was very good every day, allowing the emperor to handle political affairs with peace of mind.
As dusk approached, the Queen Mother fell asleep in a daze, when a panicked footsteps woke her up from her light sleep.
The Queen Mother raised her forehead and stood up, and said displeasedly: "Why is it so noisy?"
People in Zhuangning Palace knew that the Queen Mother did not sleep well, so she walked around lightly without making such heavy footsteps.
Nanny Qin walked in with a solemn face, followed by a palace official in charge of the punishment department.
The two of them first confessed, and Nanny Qin took the lead: "The Queen Mother, Miss Wu is dead."
The Queen Mother sat up in shock: "What, dead?"
There was a buzz in her head, and her first reaction was: Is her son really too desperate?
Three princesses died in the past, but now the emperor expresses his affection for a concubine for the first time. Although the goods are not good, she died before she was favored?
The Queen Mother realized that she had gone astray, and quickly put aside the messy thoughts in her mind, and asked hurriedly: "How did you die?"
Aunt Qin gestured to the person in charge of the punishment department to speak.
The palace servant said: "The Queen Mother was poisoned to death. Wu Meiren's girl committed suicide out of fear of the crime and died. Before she died, she left a suicide note admitting that Wu Meiren was the victim. Aunt Li and her people are investigating.
I will send my slaves first to report to you."
The Queen Mother didn't quite believe it: "How can a girl dare to be so rebellious? Is there someone behind her?"
People who stay in the harem for a long time always think too much when things happen, and the same applies to the Queen Mother. She doesn't believe that a palace maid would dare to do such a cruel thing to her master, unless she wants her relatives outside the palace to be buried with her.
The person in charge of the punishment department bowed his head and replied: "Reporting to the empress, it has not been verified yet, but the suicide note said that the person who ordered it was Wu Meiren from Tingliyuan..."
The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, a little disbelieving, then she calmed down and asked someone to change her clothes.
She wants to go to Jinghong Palace in person!
When the Queen Mother walked out of the side hall where the Jinghong Palace incident occurred, she was filled with solemnity.
Her expression was solemn and majestic, and she issued three orders:
1. Order the Criminal Division to investigate the matter strictly;
2. Take all the slaves of Jinghong Hall for interrogation;
Third, go and invite Wu Meiren and her servants.
After the Queen Mother gave the order, she looked in the direction of Cangchen Palace and sighed: "Make things easier and inform the emperor."
Her son has always defended Wu Fang'er since the draft, which Wu Fang'er has no luck in enduring.
At the same time, the earth-shattering sound made by Jinghong Palace quickly spread to Tingli Courtyard.
"Master, master, it's not good, Wu Meiren, Wu Meiren is dead!"
When Zhichun went out to run an errand, he heard that he had no more errands to run, so he ran back directly, out of breath, and rushed into the West Side Hall, yelling anxiously.
Lihua suddenly heard the news of Wu Fang'er's death and lost consciousness for a moment: "She is dead?"
Didn't he still look for her and frame her not long ago?
Zhichun gasped and nodded affirmatively: "Yes, it has spread throughout the palace."
Although Zhichun found Wu Fang'er annoying, he was shocked when he suddenly heard the news of his death.
She had secretly cursed Wu Fang'er for being bitten by a dog when she went out, but she didn't wish for death.
At this moment, she felt mixed feelings in her heart, and felt uneasy. A person who was not far away in reality suddenly died, which made everyone feel uneasy.
Lihua stared into nothingness and responded without any reaction: "Oh..."
Also, it is difficult to save a person, but it is very easy to die. She has experienced it.
Zhichun said uneasily: "Master, I heard that Wu Meiren was poisoned. This matter has alarmed the Queen Mother. When the servant came back, the Queen Mother seemed to have gone to Jinghong Hall in person. Now the place is tightly surrounded, and the servants elsewhere are talking about it.
, everyone is guessing who killed Wu Meiren."
"Who killed him?" Lihua regained consciousness from the past, and then suddenly realized.
It turns out that the conspiracy lies here, no wonder he was so anxious to invite her there, and even sent two people to use all possible means.
Xiaochan even threatened her with death to let her go, just to fall on her head...
Lihua wanted to laugh but couldn't, and was filled with a sense of absurdity.
Fortunately, the mantis was catching the cicada and the oriole was behind it, but before Wu Fang'er could catch the cicada, she became the prey of the oriole. It's really funny.
It’s just that she is a cicada, how does the oriole plan to catch it?
Lihua asked inexplicably: "Are those two birds still alive?"
Zhichun didn't know why at this time, he suddenly wanted to ask the bird that fed the moths and insect eggs, but the master always had his own reasons.
She nodded: "You're still alive. I ate a lot of food not long ago. I'll have to add more food not long ago."
Lihua thought to no avail, and then thought of something: "Oh, there is Xiaochan."
"What's wrong with Xiaochan?" Zhichun was puzzled.
Lihua smiled at Zhichun, held Zhichun's hand firmly, and said seriously: "Good Zhichun, remember, no matter what happens next, don't panic, believe me, everything will be fine."
Zhichun nodded instinctively, but she was full of doubts. She felt that the current master was strange.
But before she had time to ask, she listened to Lihua and asked her to tell her about things related to Xiaochan when she was in charge of ceremonies.
Zhichun started talking obediently until Lihua suddenly shouted to stop.
Not long after I stopped talking, the person in charge of the Punishment Department came outside the hospital. According to the Queen Mother's decree, he invited Wu Mei and his servants to go to Jinghong Hall.
Zhichun suddenly understood something, and was so angry that he was shaking all over, frightened and angry, and wanted to stand in front of Lihua and yell.
Why is it that the person from Jinghong Palace who was still haunted during her lifetime and no one cared about her will come to harm her master after her death? Why!
After seeing Lihua's comforting eyes, Zhichun suddenly calmed down again. Yes, the master is right. I believe in the master. Don't panic and hurt the master...
