Aunt Peng and Platycodon agreed, and the matter was shelved for the time being.
Platycodon never expected that Zhixiu would suddenly die suddenly the next day, and his death would be miserable, as if he had suffered inhuman torture before his death.
Everyone in the harem was saying that An Rong wanted to send Zhixiu to pretend to surrender to Yong'an Palace, but Zhixiu was unwilling and was tortured to death by An Rong.
When An Rong learned about the rumors about the harem, she was furious: "Who betrayed me?!"
They were the only ones who knew about this matter. Zhixiu was dead, and it was impossible for Aunt Peng to betray her, leaving only Kikyo as the biggest suspect.
When Platycodon saw that Nanny Peng and Concubine An were looking at her, her heart dropped and she knelt down in front of An Rong: "I didn't tell anyone about this, please tell me!"
"I also want to believe you, but you are the only one who is the biggest suspect. How can you expect me to trust you?" An Rong looked at Platycodon grandiflorum with complex eyes: "I have always felt that you act steadily and don't talk much at all.
There are many people, and people keep a low profile, but this time something like this happened, how are you going to prove your innocence?"
"I can't prove it myself, but I still said the same thing. I haven't done anything wrong to your Majesty. Please tell me clearly!" Kikyo answered with lowered eyes.
Seeing this, Aunt Peng smoothed things over and said, "My dear, I can trust you with Kikyo's temperament. Please let Kikyo get up first and tell me what you have to say."
An Rong looked at Platycodon grandiflorum for a long time, and finally sighed: "Get up. As your mama said, how can I not believe in your character? But in this situation, what should I say?"
"There must be someone eavesdropping outside, so this matter will spread. The most urgent task is to take care of Zhixiu's body first. I can't understand why someone would kill Zhixiu. What is that person's purpose?" Kikyo murmured.
Muttering to himself.
He died in Jingyang Palace, which means that the murderer was from Jingyang Palace. Otherwise, how could that person kill people in Jingyang Palace?
Unless the person who kills is the kind of master who can fly over walls and climb over walls.
An Rong thought thoughtfully: "I can't figure out what went wrong."
Not long after, Mu Ci led everyone to Jingyang Palace.
An Rong looked at the elegant Mu Ci, and for the first time she felt that Mu Ci was an eyesore.
What does Mu Ci want to show off?
No matter how unhappy An Rong was, she still had to greet Mu Ci according to the etiquette.
After Mu Ci took his seat, he asked quietly: "I heard that Concubine An killed Zhixiu just because Zhixiu didn't want to come and pretend to surrender to me, right?"
An Rong's eyes fixed upon hearing this, and she asked in a low voice: "As the Lord of the Sixth Palace, does the Queen rely only on hearsay or hearsay to resolve the case?"
Mu Ci smiled good-naturedly: "Since I am in charge of the affairs of the Sixth Palace, and a murder occurred in the palace, I have to come over to see what happened as usual. I just opened my mouth, what is your hurry, concubine?"
"I behave upright, sit upright, and don't be in a hurry!" An Rong smiled coldly: "According to me, it is the queen who is in a hurry. Is the queen so eager to convict me? Zhixiu is a slave of Jingyang Palace.
, the slave made a mistake, even if I kill her with my stick, it is still a household matter of Jingyang Palace, and it is not the queen’s turn to intervene!"
"Concubine, are you admitting that you killed Zhixiu?" Mu Ci said with a half-smile.
An Rong became angry when she saw her condescending posture. She slapped the case and stood up, angrily saying, "I killed her with my staff, so what can the Queen do?!"
Could it be that Mu Ci could still kill her with a stick?
"The noble concubine admits that she killed herself, which is commendable for her courage. I have no idea, but as a noble concubine, I will kill the palace servants around me at every turn. I am afraid that no one will dare to sacrifice their lives for Concubine An in the future." Mu Ci said and stood up.
I'm planning to leave.
An Rong didn't expect Mu Ci to come and leave in a hurry.
She thought that Mu Ci would make a fuss about this matter and make things difficult for her, but it turned out that she was mistaken.
After Mu Ci left Jingyang Palace, Mu Ci announced to the public that An Rong personally admitted that she had been tortured to death.
Then the whole harem was in an uproar.
In the past, everyone only thought that An Rong was hypocritical, but they never expected that An Rong could be so vicious.
This incident spread a lot in the harem and attracted many people's discussion.
As for the palace servants serving in Jingyang Palace, everyone is in danger, fearing that An Rong will kill them next. Some people are even thinking of finding a way out to leave this terrible place, Jingyang Palace.
After An Rong heard the news, she was so angry that her chest hurt.
"There is no need to be angry, the Queen. Those who purify themselves will purify themselves. These are all the Queen's one-sided words. Who would believe it?" Aunt Peng comforted An Rong.
An Rong raised her eyes and looked at a second-class palace maid guarding the door.
Seeing her head lowered and not daring to look up at her, she knew that An Rong had achieved her goal of ruining her reputation.
It was Mu Ci who killed Huizhixiu, and Mu Ci used such an unscrupulous method to frame her, how disgusting!
"Get out!" An Rong pointed at the cowering second-class palace maid and shouted loudly.
The palace maid was so frightened that her legs became weak and she did not dare to stay any longer. She rolled and crawled away.
An Rong saw this scene and gently stroked her frown.
Damn Mu Ci, how could he be so vicious?
As a result, the entire harem thought she would kill her, and everyone avoided her like a snake or a scorpion. Mu Ci's move alienated the entire harem from her, leaving her isolated and helpless.
This is all secondary.
If the emperor knew these rumors, what would he think of her?
She didn't care about anyone else, but she cared about the emperor's opinion.
An Rong did not have a good rest for two consecutive days and two nights. When she went to Yong'an Palace to pay her respects, she could not hide her haggard face.
Everyone else saw this and thought that Concubine An could not sleep at night because she had done too many evil things.
An Rong seemed unable to see the strange looks everyone was fixating on her. She looked directly at Mu Ci with cold eyes.
Following her, she rushed to Mu Ci and asked, "Queen, why did you deliberately frame me?!"
"Where do you start talking about this?" Mu Ci expressed confusion.
An Rong looked at Mu Ci sadly and angrily: "Are you still pretending now? It's obvious that you are deliberately spreading rumors about me. If it weren't for you, they wouldn't look at me like this!"
She pointed to the crowd present.
"Have I ever spread rumors about you? Please speak more clearly, I am confused by you." Mu Ci said in a good voice.
Compared to her gentleness and politeness, An Rong seemed vulgar.
Shen Manyun couldn't help but think of the time when she first entered the palace. Among the new beauties who entered the palace, An Rong was the most outstanding in terms of temperament and appearance.
She has a very good impression of An Rong and is happy to associate with An Rong.
Who knew that in the end, An Rong had changed beyond recognition, but she was already watching the fun in this harem as a bystander.
"Now that things have happened, you can no longer pretend. You framed me and tortured me to death. Do you dare to say that this is not your masterpiece?" An Rong asked coldly.
Today she was going to expose Mu Ci's ugly face in front of everyone.
