Dugu Liancheng followed Feng Jiu to Yong'an Palace.
After listening to the confrontation between the palace officials on both sides, he looked at Queen He who was kneeling on the ground: "What did you say?"
"Replying to the emperor, I did not push Liu Cainu." He Yunv's eyes were clear and she looked at the emperor calmly.
Dugu Liancheng looked at him for a moment and then made a decision: "If you say no, then it means no. I believe you."
Feng Jiu heard the emperor's words and secretly glanced at the Queen Mother.
The Empress Dowager's expression did not change at all, her expression was indifferent. He understood immediately that the Empress Dowager could see clearly. Although she was committed to the emperor, she could not figure out her own position.
There is a future with such a master.
Compared with those concubines who wanted the emperor's special favor all day long, he felt that the Queen Mother had a better chance of becoming the final winner.
At that moment, he had some calculations in his mind.
"Get up, the ground is very wet." Dugu Liancheng said, and personally stepped forward to help He up.
After that, he left Yong'an Palace with He.
"The Queen Mother, our little master was really pushed into the river by Master He. Please make the decision for our little master!" Feicui saw that Princess He was gone and hugged Mu Ci's lap to plead for mercy.
"The emperor has decided the case, and the case ends here." Mu Ci replied quietly.
How Liu Cainu died is not important at all. In the harem, the emperor's words are imperial edicts. If the emperor says that person is guilty, then he is guilty. If the emperor says that a person is not guilty, then he is not guilty. The truth is not important.
"That's not the case. The little master said yesterday that she would be successful soon and someone would help her make the decision. Xiao, the little master was killed. Yes, someone wanted to harm our little master...
"As Jade spoke, she cried bitterly.
Mu Ci originally wanted to have Feicui dragged away, after all, the case had been decided, but Feicui's words made her curious again.
"Please tell me carefully." Mu Ci sat back down.
Jade hurriedly wiped away her tears and recounted in detail what Liu Cainv said to her yesterday.
"Liu Cainu really said that?" Mu Ci's face darkened after listening to Jade's narration.
"It's absolutely true. The young master said that she has a master who supports her. As long as that master speaks a few nice words in front of the emperor, the young master will be favored by the emperor. Judging from the tone of the young master, that master should be in a high position.
Those with weight." Jade said with certainty.
After listening to this, Mu Ci pondered for a moment and then asked, "Has Liu Cainu done anything unusual recently?"
Since Liu Cainu said this, someone must be looking after Liu Cainu from behind. In other words, it was Liu Cainu who did something for that master to get the "reward" from that master.
"This..." Jade thought about it carefully and didn't notice anything unusual about the young master recently.
She shook her head, and then remembered something: "Not long ago, the little master was a little strange, a little dazed, and seemed to have something on his mind."
"What time is it specifically?" Mu Ci became more interested and asked.
Jade Boy thought about it carefully and his eyes lit up: "I remember that after the little prince was poisoned, the little master was unconscious for several days."
When Mu Ci heard this, his heart beat faster: "After the little prince was poisoned?"
So, was Liu Cainu’s death silenced?
She was confused.
She thought it was just a simple case, but there was such a murderous intention behind it. She shouldn't have called Dugu Liancheng over just now. Now that He Yunv is under the protection of the emperor, this case has made new progress...
She calmed down and asked: "Where was Liu Cainv on the day when the little prince was poisoned in the imperial garden?"
"Of course it's in Chuxiu Palace..." Jade was mid-sentence, suddenly not sure.
That day, the young master said that she was not feeling well and wanted to have a good rest, and asked her not to disturb her for two hours.
"Let's do this. The Ai family will go with you to Chuxiu Palace." Mu Ci said and stood up.
Now she was sure that Liu Cainv was also in the imperial garden that day. Liu Cainv was still one of the key figures, or maybe Liu Cainv was poisoned.
As for the person who instigated Liu Cainu behind the scenes, it was undoubtedly one of the concubines in the harem.
Because in this harem, there are not many high-ranking concubines. Only those who are at least third grade or above can be called high-ranking concubines.
As a result, the scope of the instigators becomes very narrow.
Mu Ci was about to go to the Bieyuan where Chu Xiu Palace lived to see what was going on, but in the end she felt something was wrong. If she went to the Bieyuan where Liu Cainu lived with great fanfare, wouldn't she tell that powerful person that she had become suspicious?
Now that He Yunv was taken away by the emperor, she could just lower the vigilance of the person behind the scenes, making the person behind the scenes think that the case was closed, and she could continue the investigation secretly, catching the person off guard.
At that moment, she told Jade to keep quiet about the matter.
Of course, Feicui followed Mu Ci's orders and left Yong'an Palace.
After Jade left, Mu Ci looked solemn.
Feng Jiu stepped forward to serve tea and saw what Mu Ci was thinking: "Your Majesty is worried that Jade will also be silenced, right?"
Mu Ci looked at Feng Jiu: "You do know how to figure out the Ai family's concerns."
"It's not that the slave can figure it out, but the slave has seen many slanderous methods, and the most common thing is to silence the person and frame the blame." Feng Jiu lowered his voice: "Instead of worrying, it is better for the master to strike first!"
Mu Ci looked at Feng Jiu, and Feng Jiu knew that he and his empress had an idea.
"Your Majesty, leave this matter to my servant. I will definitely handle it properly." Feng Jiu volunteered.
Mu Ci said nothing more, which was regarded as acquiescence.
After Feng Jiu went to do the business, Yingchun said in a genuine voice: "Feng Jiu has gained the trust of the empress so quickly, isn't the empress afraid that he has second thoughts?"
The most important thing is that the empress handed over important matters to Feng Jiu so quickly. She was disgusted.
"Who told Feng Jiu to worry about the empress? If you were half as capable as Feng Jiu, you would definitely be reused by the empress." Sizhu joked.
Your Majesty has a very good eye.
This Feng Jiu was well-informed and knew everything about the harem. Regarding He Yunv's life experience, if Feng Jiu hadn't reminded them, they would not have known that He Yunv was related to He Shufei during the Qingyuan Emperor's period.
According to her, He Yunv is not easy to worry about. Coupled with her unparalleled face and temperament, she will definitely rise to the top quickly in the future.
Although she is only a seventh-grade imperial concubine at the moment, she will definitely rise to the top quickly after she is admitted to bed.
"Don't gloat. Now that Feng Jiu is here, your status will be the same as mine." Yingchun retorted disdainfully.
Sizhu remembered that Feng Jiu took care of everything, and felt that she was also in crisis. But the most important thing was to be able to do things for the empress. This was the most important thing.
Mu Ci listened to them talking, but what he was thinking about was the case of the little prince's poisoning.
What role did Liu Cainv play in the Royal Garden last time, and why was that person eager to kill someone and silence her?
