Lijuan was one of yesterday's witnesses and was brought to An Rong.
She had not yet recovered from yesterday's scene. When An Rong asked about the situation again, she stammered and recounted it in detail.
Yuzhi was indeed not present at that time. As for the other slaves who witnessed it, none of them were as detailed as Lijuan's.
"The emperor looked very scary yesterday. Yun'er just accidentally bumped into the emperor. The emperor was instantly furious. Without even looking at Yun'er's face, he ordered people to beat Yun'er to pieces. Sister Yun'er was beaten alive like this.
Die..." Lijuan said tremblingly, just glad that she was not the unlucky Yun'er.
An Rong's face sank: "Are you sure that Yun'er just bumped into the emperor and was beaten to death by the emperor's order? Also, the emperor doesn't know who he ordered to be beaten to death?"
"It is rare for a big shot like the emperor to come to Ziyuxuan. How could he possibly know who Yun'er is? I felt that something was wrong with the emperor at that time..." Lijuan's voice gradually faded away.
She didn't dare to speak ill of the Emperor, but the Emperor's expression yesterday was so scary that it didn't look normal.
An Rong asked for some more details, but when she couldn't find out why, she left Ziyuxuan.
Nanny Peng whispered to An Rong: "Is the emperor affected by the poison and seriously ill?"
Recently, I have often heard news that the emperor's temper is getting worse. Yesterday, Yun'er fell into the hands of the emperor again. What is the difference between such an emperor and a tyrant?
An Rong frowned coldly: "It's all that damn concubine Rong. I actually believed her and gave the unknown poison to Yu Jieyu. Now it's too late to regret it."
It seems that Yun'er's death was just a coincidence, and it was purely because Dugu Liancheng had a bad temper and bad luck that he fell into the hands of Dugu Liancheng.
"Your Majesty, you should think about it from another angle. The Emperor is seriously ill and has a surly temper. Isn't this the opportunity for Your Majesty to take action?" Nanny Peng's eyes flashed.
Hearing this, An Rong looked at Nanny Peng and said coldly: "How dare you still have the intention to be rebellious?"
This is a serious crime against the Nine Clan. To attack Dugu Liancheng is a serious crime of treason. If this is not done, the entire An family will lose their lives.
"This old slave is also thinking about your Majesty. Your Majesty should have made plans in advance. If the Emperor's condition worsens, it is unpredictable what will happen in the future. The Emperor could kill Yun'er yesterday, and he might kill Yun'er tomorrow. Now,
The emperor is unreasonable, not to mention the emperor hates the empress so much..."
"Shut up!" An Rong looked at Nanny Peng coldly.
Aunt Peng showed timidity under An Rong's gaze.
She thought that the empress was still too emotional, which would lead to bad things sooner or later.
"No matter how the emperor treats me, my heart is still towards him, and I will never do anything treasonous." An Rong lowered her face: "Don't let me repeat these words again and again, and I will not allow you to have any more plans.
It’s a counter thought, otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
Aunt Peng felt depressed, but she did not dare to disobey and hurriedly agreed.
But deep down in her heart, she still felt that only if Jinshang died could the imperial concubine live a good life.
If the imperial concubine gave birth to a little prince, why should she act based on the emperor's face?
On the other side, Mu Ci asked Feng Jiu to continue investigating the death of Platycodon. She believed that someone in the palace had killed Platycodon, and the clues should be found in the palace.
After about half a month of investigation, Feng Jiu finally found some clues.
"A servant from the Internal Affairs Bureau left the palace to buy arsenic, and the time was just one day before Platycodon left the palace?" Mu Ci's face darkened.
This was a coincidence and timing, and the poison in Platycodon was indeed arsenic.
"Someone is sure that the chambermaid bought arsenic. Moreover, the chamberlain and Nanny Peng are from the same hometown, and they are old acquaintances. If there is no accident, it was Concubine An who killed Platycodon!" Feng Jiu felt that this was the inference.
If so, the murderer is Concubine An.
Mu Ci frowned when he heard this: "I tested Concubine An earlier this morning, and she doesn't look like a murderer."
"But the evidence does point to Jingyang Palace. It's impossible for Nanny Peng to murder Platycodon without Concubine An's permission..." Feng Jiu's voice faded.
Mu Ci also raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "This possibility is not impossible. I remember that Zhixiu also died in Jingyang Palace without any reason. No one knows who the murderer is yet. If it is Aunt Peng who killed Zhixiu
, doesn’t everything make sense?”
Aunt Peng was always arrogant and considered herself a loyal servant. It would make sense if she felt that both Zhixiu and Platycodon grandiflorum had betrayed Concubine An, so she killed them.
"It would be unworthy of someone like Platycodon to die in the hands of Grandma Peng!" Feng Jiu's face darkened.
Platycodon was chosen by him personally, with a calm temperament. He had always been very optimistic about Platycodon. He thought that if there was a chance in the future, Platycodon would be able to return to serve his empress.
In the end, he died at the hands of that bitch, Aunt Peng.
"Don't worry, I will seek justice for Kikyo." Mu Ci said solemnly.
No matter what, Nanny Peng has to sacrifice her life to make up for it!
When things were settled, Mu Ci asked Feng Jiu to go to Jingyang Palace in person to escort Nanny Peng over.
Aunt Peng was accompanying An Rong. When she saw Feng Jiu bringing people to escort her, she sneered: "Even if you are the chief chamberlain of Yong'an Palace, you can't just go to Jingyang Palace and act wild!"
Do you really think that the imperial concubine is just a decoration?
"Here we go, take down this bitch!" When Feng Jiuyi saw the old face of Nanny Peng, new and old grudges arose, and he asked the chamberlain to take action.
"Wait a minute! What did I do? The Queen is seducing someone under my nose!" An Rong saw that Feng Jiu was serious and hurriedly stopped her.
"If the imperial concubine wants to know what happened, you can go to Yong'an Palace to watch the excitement. Then the imperial concubine will know what kind of vicious dog she has around her!" Feng Jiuyi raised his hand, and the servants stepped forward to arrest him.
He rescued Nanny Peng, who was struggling, and forcibly carried her to Yong'an Palace.
At this moment, Aunt Peng finally understood the secret, and knew that Mu Ci must have discovered that she had poisoned Platycodon grandiflorum.
The imperial concubine did not know about this matter, and she could not even communicate with the imperial concubine in advance.
For a moment, Grandma Peng was also confused.
She thought that killing a Platycodon was a very simple matter, who would go to war over a slave? And Platycodon died outside the palace, who would know that she killed Platycodon?
After Kikyo's death, there was no movement at Yong'an Palace. She thought that the matter was over and no one would ever know that she had killed the traitor Kikyo behind her back.
Who would have thought that Mu Ci would suddenly find out that she was the real murderer, which shows that Mu Ci has been secretly investigating the matter.
As a queen, Mu Ci actually spent a lot of money on a dead dog slave. It was just such a small scheme.
In this way, Nanny Peng was taken to Yong'an Palace.
