Chapter 1080 The Emperor Is All for the Queen's Sake

Stepping out of the screen, he ordered Banmei in a low voice: "Take care of your master."

"Yes." Banmei responded with a salute.

Then, fourth master lifted his foot out of the inner room and returned to the hall.

Fourth master sat down in the hall.

And with the fastest speed, he ordered Su Peisheng to bring all the servants in charge of washing clothes from Yongshou Palace to the hall for interrogation.

Not only that, even the servants other than Huanyi were brought to the hall for interrogation according to their positions.

Of course, those slaves who wear clothes are the focus of interrogation.

Moreover, it was interrogated and interrogated in front of the harem concubines.

Because things mainly happened in Yongshou Palace.

Although it is a slave who eats inside and outside, colludes with the outside world.

But if you go to other palaces to interrogate them one by one, you will have to interrogate them until the year of the monkey.

As long as this inner ghost is caught, before killing anyone, he has to act first.

Otherwise, it would be too late if we waited until everyone was dead to investigate.

And the scene in the room caused the concubines Qi to bow their heads and pretend to drink tea.

Just pinch a few pieces of dim sum once in a while.

None of them dared to look at those servants more.

It seemed that they were afraid that they would catch eyes with those slaves, and they would become the masters who partnered with the slaves behind the scenes.

Then, it means that they will be finished.

At this moment, Su Peisheng led He Zhongkang and Xiao Dezi to interrogate the servants respectively.

But the concubines in the harem are like sitting on pins and needles.

I want to say that the emperor has always only paid attention to business affairs.

When will he take care of women's affairs.

Isn't Concubine Yugui a while ago an example.

In the beginning, the affairs of Concubine Yu were all in the hands of the empress.

The empress really couldn't control it, the emperor thought it was for the empress's sake, so he helped the empress.

No one in the harem knows this.

Moreover, even though the emperor later intervened in the affairs of Concubine Guan Yu, he was not as attentive as the empress.

Hearing that the empress gave birth, the memorial was not approved, so she strode to Yongshou Palace.

He will go to court before dawn, and he is still waiting for the results of the interrogation.

A posture of swearing that he will not give up until the murderer behind him is caught tonight.

At this moment, the hall became a little noisy because of the interrogation.

The fourth master sat at the top, his cold eyes swept sharply among the servants and concubines.

All of a sudden, a little court lady was found furtively looking at Concubine Xi one, two, three times.

Seeing this, Fourth Master pointed to the maid, and asked indifferently: "Where do you work."

As soon as these words came out, the questioning voices in the room stopped abruptly.

Su Peisheng walked up to the maid and asked, "The emperor asked you something, tell me, what kind of work do you usually do in Yongshou Palace?"

"If you go back to the emperor and Eunuch Su, the servant...is working in the clothes washing workshop." The maid replied in a sly voice.

Probably realizing that her errand was very sensitive, the maid suddenly became nervous.

Because Su Peisheng had already said it during the cross-examination.

The queen's quilt was tampered with, and the Huanyifang was the key object of investigation.

Su Peisheng circled around the maid.

Then, he pointed to the middle and commanded: "In this case, then you stand in the middle and talk to the emperor properly."

The maid pursed her lips and walked to the middle in fear.

From the perspective of others, no matter how you look at it, she has a guilty conscience.

When she knelt down in the middle, Fourth Master asked coldly: "You said you were washing clothes in Yongshou Palace?"

"Exactly." The maid was too guilty to raise her head.

"So, then you are a servant of Yongshou Palace."

The maid paused for a moment, she said she was working in Yongshou Palace, why did she ask her if she was a servant of Yongshou Palace?

However, it was the current Holy Majesty who asked her.

Even if she borrowed ten thousand courage, she could only reply patiently: "The slave is indeed the slave of Yongshou Palace."

Fourth master nodded slightly, his expression indifferent.

"Then you raise your head and tell me, you, a servant of Yongshou Palace, why do you keep staring at the next concubine Xi from time to time during the interrogation."

At first, his voice was flat.

But as he spoke, his voice became louder.

It can be said that each sentence has a stronger tone than the previous sentence.

It sounded even more aggressive and impatient.

The maid looked at Concubine Xi again, and replied tremblingly: "Slave... because this slave was originally working in Chengqian Palace of Empress Xi. Later, some things happened, and this slave was sent back to the internal affairs. Mansion, and later, he was assigned to Yongshou Palace as an errand."

Hearing this, Concubine Xi, who was originally sitting, immediately couldn't sit still.

She stood up, wanting to explain.

Or rather, try to distance yourself from the relationship.

However, Fourth Master directly raised his hand to Concubine Xi, signaling her not to speak.

He just looked at the maid at the bottom and asked: "So, you and Concubine Xi are in the old relationship of master and servant."

"That's right..." How did the palace maid reply.

"Well, since you are the old master and servant, it shouldn't matter long ago. But you secretly look at Concubine Xi again and again, with panic in your eyes."

"Slaves...slaves don't have any."

The fourth master ignored the maid's excuses, but said in a deep voice: "Tell me, are you entrusted by Concubine Xi to do something dirty and want to seek her help?"

Seeing that the unfavorable words are like her, Concubine Xi can't sit still anymore.

Without waiting for the maid to answer, she mustered up her courage, knelt down in the middle, and said, "Your Majesty, it's not what you think. The concubine has no impression of this maid at all, let alone ask her to do something. Besides, for the Empress, the concubine has always been respectful in her heart, how could she harm her, it must be this court lady and others who deliberately came to slander the concubine."

"Concubine Xi, I am asking about her, not you." Fourth Master said coldly.

"But..." Concubine Xi just said a word, and Fourth Master interrupted: "If you still don't understand the rules, then go out."

Hearing this, Concubine Xi answered "Yes" and returned to her seat.

If things didn't happen to this point, she would like to get out of this suffocating place as soon as possible.

Although it was those slaves who were being interrogated.

But those of them who are concubines are not much better.

They made them one by one, not much different from those prisoners who were interrogated.

To bear the physical and mental torture and pressure.

But the public opinion is pouring on her, how can she leave with peace of mind.

At any rate, if he was present, he could still know the situation and refute himself a few words.

But if she left and let others pour dirty water on her body, she would not know.

Seeing this, Concubine Qi at the side gloated and said: "Sister Xi, as the master, if you want to do something, you can order the servants below. Naturally, you don't know this maid. Maybe the servants around you know What about this maid?"

What she said inside and outside, alluded to Concubine Xi ordering her servants to frame the queen.

"About this, I haven't thought about it, let alone done it. But sister Qi Fei said so seriously, it seems that you have done it, so you know so much?" Concubine Xi replied not to be outdone.
