Chapter 37 Come and Let Me Tell You the Details!

"...Aren't you afraid?" On the way to Yanfu Palace, Wei Ronghua hesitated several times. Finally, he couldn't help but whispered to Yun Fenghuang, "I'm afraid I won't sleep tonight. I'm afraid." I had nightmares after I fell asleep.”

Yun Fenghuang said calmly: "Fortunately, after all, Xinqing has just disappeared for a while. Apart from the spots on the body, there is not much difference from before. If it is the kind that has been soaked in water for several days before being picked up, then it is called It’s terrible.”

Hearing this, even the palace attendant who was leading the way turned around - Wei Ronghua's eyes widened and he lost his voice: "Have you seen it before?!"

Yun Fenghuang said "hmm".

"How come you've seen it before?" Wei Ronghua looked at her suspiciously, with a hint of admiration in his eyes, "That kind of scene... your family is actually willing to let you see it?"

"You probably don't know what a corpse that has been soaked in water for ten and a half months on a hot day looks like, right?" Yun Fenghuang smiled slightly, "Here, let me tell you in detail..."

"No!" Wei Ronghua was really scared. Even Xinqing, who was like her, was so scared that she wouldn't dare to hear any details?

Hearing this, his face suddenly changed, and after he refused without thinking, he hurriedly pulled the palace maid to walk a few steps to distance himself from Yun Fenghuang, as if he was afraid that she would continue talking regardless.

Yun Fenghuang glanced at her back with a smile, curled his lips, how dare you ask questions about yourself with such little courage?

After a while, the group arrived at Yanfu Palace. As soon as they entered, they felt the solemn and almost solid atmosphere inside.

Looking again, Emperor Chunjia, Empress Yun Shu, Concubine Yue and Concubine Xin were all there. An embroidery stool was set up at a distance from these people, and a woman dressed as a concubine sat there gingerly - the empress. His face was expressionless at the moment, and he didn't know if the conversation had just broken down, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry.

Concubine Yun Shu showed her usual gentle and unbearable expression. She looked at Emperor Chunjia for a while and then for Empress Ji, looking like she wanted to persuade but couldn't.

As for Concubine Yue, she has lost a lot of weight compared to before the confinement. She originally had a round face, but now she looks like a teenage girl in her twenties. Now her chin is actually a bit pointed. What surprised Yun Fenghuang the most was her energy. It was as if she had suffered a huge blow, without the anger and irritability she had earlier.

Yun Fenghuang noticed that the woman standing behind Concubine Yue was a woman in palace clothes whom she had never seen before. Looking at her age, she didn't know whether she was Concubine Yue's wet nurse. She was very upright, with a fair face, and a warmth from the corners of her eyes and eyebrows. Soft and easy to talk to.

It's just that Concubine Yue occasionally looked sideways at her, but she seemed to be asking for instructions?

To Yun Fenghuang's surprise, Concubine Xin was also there.

Xinfei Cui Lianye was the daughter of Cui Wan, the Minister of Etiquette, the leader of Qingliu. She was born pure and beautiful, and her eyebrows were also noble and noble.

At this moment, his eyebrows were deeply furrowed, and his face was as frosty as snow, becoming more and more cold.

...could it be possible that this matter has something to do with her? Otherwise, according to what I learned before entering the palace, the main person in the palace, who is the least nosy, will never take the initiative to join in any fun.

Yun Fenghuang's suspicion was soon verified. After she and Wei Ronghua went to the palace and bowed as expected, Empress Ji asked someone to take out a silver hairpin and said, "Beautiful Yun, please check it out. Is this new?" Sunny?"

She glanced at it and nodded: "Returning to the Queen, this hairpin was originally given by Princess Yue to congratulate me. I didn't bring anything with me when I entered the palace, so when Xinqing congratulated me, I gave it to me. Gave it to her."

Hearing this, before the Queen said anything, Concubine Xin said in a cold voice: "Even so, it can only mean that someone threw the hairpin into Chengyue Palace to frame me!"

What?

Yun Fenghuang was startled. Didn't he say that Xinqing was found in Yanlan Palace?

Why did the hairpin escape to Chengyue Palace?

While she was thinking about it, she heard the woman dressed as a palace concubine whisper: "But what Chengyue Palace found was not just the hairpin, but also half of Xinqing's sleeves, which were still stained with blood..."

Anger flashed in Concubine Xin's eyes, as if she was about to explode, but after thinking about it, she held it back and said quietly: "Then I don't know, I, Yun Meiren, and the Imperial Concubine are all useless. There is no enmity, and we rarely interact with each other... Why are you deliberately planning to harm Xinqing and harm the imperial concubine? "

She turned to the emperor and empress above her, "Your Majesty, the empress, please give me a clear warning!"

Empress Ji didn't wait for Emperor Chunjia to speak and said: "Concubine Xin, please be patient. I have called you here just because Chengyue Palace has discovered Xinqing's things after all. It wants to find out the ins and outs and has no intention of asking for guilt." . After all, deep inside the palace, in broad daylight, palace residents disappeared inexplicably and then died. If we don’t get to the bottom of it, who can rest assured?"

Concubine Xin had nothing to say, so she could only nod her head and said, "I obey."

The queen also nodded and asked Yun Fenghuang and Wei Ronghua: "Have you all gone to see it? Is it Xinqing? Can you confirm it?"

After Wei Ronghua entered the palace, of course it was not easy to keep covering him with the veil. At this moment, he showed his pale face and said in a slightly trembling voice: "As for the queen, that person is Xinqing."

Yun Fenghuang also said: "Your Majesty, I can confirm that it is Xinqing. It's just that I was fine on the way back to Huzhu Palace with me. How could it be..."

"I am asking about this matter." Empress Ji pondered. "The mastiff followed the road in front of Huzhu Palace and went to Yanlan Palace and Chengyue Palace. As a result, the former discovered Xinqing and the latter discovered Xinqing. The corners of Qing’s clothes, the blood stains, and the hairpin… this is really strange.”

She seemed a little clueless, so she turned around and asked Emperor Chunjia beside her, "Do you have any instructions, Your Majesty?"

Emperor Chunjia said calmly: "It is up to the queen to deal with matters in the harem."

"The first mistress that Xinqing served since she entered the palace was Yun Meiren." Empress Ji said, "My subordinates have checked and found that this palace person has always been honest and kind to others, and has never made any grudges. So when something like this happened, I thought that Eighty percent of it is due to anger."

Concubine Yun Shu said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, I know that although this girl is naughty, she is just a child at heart and has never done anything evil. She has only been in the palace for a few days? How can she break into this? Will it cause such a big disaster that even the people around you will not be able to recover?"

She is speaking for Yun Fenghuang now, not because she is pretending to be a good sister, but because she is afraid that Yun Fenghuang will be dragged into some crime that will implicate the Yiguo Palace - Yun Fenghuang can die violently in private, no matter how he dies. , but you must not die in disgrace.

Just when Concubine Yun Shu said this, Emperor Chunjia frowned. The queen thought that Xinqing was affected by Yun Fenghuang. Concubine Yun Shu emphasized that Yun Fenghuang could not offend so many people and could not do too much bad things within a few days of entering the palace. ...Wouldn't it be reasonable to put suspicion on Concubine Yue if she continued to say so?

After all, even if the other concubines have many enemies in this palace, they still have a few allies, or people who have no grudges and will never offend the river. Even Yun Fenghuang is a model of restlessness. For various reasons, it is not impossible. People want to be on her side. That is to say, Concubine Yue has a fate that doesn't please everyone, even if everyone doesn't like her...

So if something happened to Xinqing, why didn't Concubine Yue directly target Yun Fenghuang if she wanted to take action?

But now the imperial concubine Xin Fei has been dragged in. If Emperor Chunjia hadn't known the inside story, Concubine Yue had indeed done nothing. He felt that Concubine Yue was the most suspicious among the Sixth Palace.

After all, the concubine Xin, who is only pregnant, has attracted the attention of the entire harem. Concubine Xin, who is aloof and has little contact with outsiders, can be said to be the one with the fewest enemies in the palace. After all, she has a good family background, behaves in a low-key manner, and abides by the rules in her speech and behavior. , she is never troublesome in her daily life. If she doesn’t say she is kind to others, at least she has never made things difficult for others... You may not like such a person, but a normal person would not say that she hates or is hostile to her.

Well, except for Concubine Yue.

Concubine Xin was the concubine of Emperor Chunjia. For this reason, in Concubine Yue's eyes, she deserved to die.

Emperor Chunjia: "..."

What can he do?

Concubine Yue had such a temperament, he had tried to persuade her, but she had said it softly, and Concubine Yue didn't take it to heart, but said it too seriously, Concubine Yue couldn't bear it, and felt that he had changed his mind and no longer liked her, and life was boring, etc. Wait... Emperor Chunjia lost his temper after several troubles.

Although Qingmei was full of resentment, her methods were not very good. The concubines in the palace didn't have many fuel-efficient lamps. Except for the low-level concubines who had no family background and were easy to manipulate, the high-ranking concubine Yue Fei couldn't handle it at all. The emperor just Thinking that Concubine Yue hates them, she can just hate them, and there is nothing she can do about it.

From Fuyang County to Imperial Capital, the gap is too big.

Not to mention that Concubine Yue, who had been pampered since childhood, couldn't bear it. Even Emperor Chunjia, who was carefully trained by Empress Dowager Yuan, regretted it many times, always thinking that if time went back to the past, he would still stay in Fuyang County. How carefree and comfortable would it be to be a prince?

Every time I think about this, I always feel that Concubine Yue is really pitiful, so I know that what she did is wrong, and I am really reluctant to say anything or do anything... I can only secretly pray that she will change in the future...

Well, in the final analysis, I still have no real power and cannot protect Concubine Yue. Otherwise, a bright and lively woman may not be tempered into such an unpleasant temper...

The emperor recovered his thoughts and said: "This matter may not be as simple as it seems. In the past two days, the people around me have changed. I have summoned Yun Meiren to accompany me every day these two days... Yun Meiren's palace maid has an accident, and it is unknown why. Doesn’t it have something to do with me?”

Concubine Yue's reputation and character are obvious to all. Even if she knows that it has nothing to do with her, it is difficult to defend Concubine Yue at the moment. She can only find a way to take the blame for herself.

Emperor Chunjia looked at the queen again and said: "Huzhu Palace is a bit remote after all. Concubine Yue's position is placed there, and she is surrounded by waiters when she comes in and out. It's okay. After all, Yun Meiren is only a fifth-grade beauty, and there are only three servants around her. Two people, only one palace maid is accompanying them when they go out... No wonder why Xinqing disappeared, she was confused. "

Is this either asking Yun Fenghuang to move to another palace, or giving her a promotion or adding more manpower to serve her?

Empress Ji's thoughts turned around and she chuckled: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I just sent someone to notify the Imperial City Department, so that they can patrol the area around Huzhu Palace to prevent similar things from happening again!"

It is the queen's right to promote and demote concubines and receive appropriate treatment. The queen does not like anyone to talk too much, even Emperor Chunjia!

The emperor was silent for a moment after hearing this, and said calmly: "I am always at ease when the queen does things."

Empress Ji knew that he was dissatisfied, but it didn't matter. She relied on her mother-in-law to honor the world, not Emperor Chunjia. She just smiled and said, "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. I will do my best to take care of the harem for Your Majesty."

If Emperor Chunjia was a powerful Ninth Five-Year Supreme, he would have exploded at this sentence: The palace people died in an unknown way, and the pregnant noble concubine and the law-abiding Concubine Xin were all involved. You have been dawdling for so long. You don’t even know what’s going on, but you still have the nerve to take care of the harem?

But Emperor Chunjia was a puppet, so he could only say "hmm" expressionlessly, which was regarded as acquiescing to the queen's words.

Sure enough, it had been Chunjia for seven years after all. Underneath Yun Fenghuang noticed that although the emperor was in a bad mood, he had no intention of gritting his teeth from beginning to end. Sure enough, he was used to it.

Hope he continues to get used to it.

After all, what she is going to do next is really heartbreaking...
