The rebirth of a concubine: Gong Du will become the Queen Mother

When the royal chariot stopped outside Yikun Palace, all the concubines in the palace, large and small, had already arrived and were waiting outside the dormitory.

The sound of "Your Majesty has arrived" was heard, and soon, Lu Zhaolin was seen bringing Jiang Shiying.

"I (concubine) see your majesty, and see the imperial concubine."

"Get up." Lu Zhaolin said, "Where is the imperial doctor?"

Concubine De stepped forward and answered: "The imperial doctors are diagnosing the pulse of Concubine Zhen's sister inside."

Lu Zhaolin nodded and led Jiang Shiying and the concubines to the inner room of the dormitory.

When they entered, Judge Fang's hand was still on Concubine Zhen's wrist.

The other imperial doctors were standing in front of Concubine Zhen's bed, discussing something in low voices.

"Zhu Xian's poison?"

"It seems not. If it were Zhu Xian, Concubine Zhen would be dead at this moment."

"What is that? This pulse is 90% similar to Zhu Xian's."

At this time, Judge Fang withdrew his hand and said with a heavy face: "It's Yue Ai."

"What is Yueyi?"

Hearing this sound, the imperial doctors and the palace servants waiting in the room noticed that Lu Zhaolin and the concubines had entered the room, and they quickly saluted.

Lu Zhaolin shouted and asked again: "Fang Yuanjian, what is Yueyue?"

"It is a highly poisonous substance." Fang Yuan judged: "It is a highly poisonous substance that can cause death by exhaustion of the internal organs."

Lu Zhaolin frowned.

Jiang Shiying's eyes wandered around the room, and finally fell on the table not far away, where a bowl of Bijing porridge was placed.

She pointed to the bowl of porridge and asked, "Where did it fall?"

Judge Fang Yuan shook his head: "No. This poison has been in Concubine Zhen's body for at least half a month, and it just happened to explode today."

Lu Zhaolin's eyes were full of gloom: "Let the people from the Shenxing Department come and investigate."

A young eunuch in front of the emperor received the order and was about to go to the Department of Punishment to deliver a message when he was suddenly stopped.

"and many more!"

Everyone followed the sound and saw that the person speaking was actually Song Cai's painting screen behind him.

At this time, she stood up from behind Song Cairen, walked a few steps forward, walked to the middle of the room, and then knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, there is no need to let the people from the Shenxing Department come to check. The poison on Concubine Zhen's body is A slave."

As soon as these words came out, Song Cairen's face instantly turned pale as paper, regardless of other people's reactions.

Lu Zhaolin's eyes only stayed on her for a moment, and soon fell on Huaping: "Why did you poison Concubine Zhen? Do you know that killing the master with a servant and murdering a second-grade concubine is a serious crime that requires the death of the whole family?"

"Using a servant to harm the master?" Huaping seemed to have heard some joke: "Concubine Zhen is not the master of a slave."

Zhou Guiren, who was standing quietly in the corner, became more energetic when he heard her words: "Your master is Song Cairen. Could it be that Song Cairen instigated you? Song Cairen has a grudge against Concubine Zhen." ?”

Song Cairen shook his head in panic: "Your Majesty, it is clear that I am not a concubine. There are no concubines."

Lu Zhaolin looked at her with a somewhat unclear look.

It was the painting screen kneeling on the ground that helped Song Cai-ren solve the problem: "Ms. Zhen Fei has always been generous, gentle and considerate outside. How could Song Cai-ren have any grudge against Zhen Fei? It was his own cousin who was raped. Concubine Zhen was killed, but she acted as if it didn’t happen, and she was very humble and obedient in front of Concubine Zhen!”

There is too much information in this sentence!

Song Cairen's cousin, isn't that the first empress?

Was the First Queen killed by Concubine Zhen?

Lu Zhaolin asked: "From what you said, the late Queen was killed by Concubine Zhen? Do you have any evidence?"

Before Huaping could say anything, Concubine Zhen's eldest maid, Chang Xia, couldn't help it anymore, and quickly stepped forward and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty clearly knows, and everyone in the palace knows that the late empress died on the sickbed because of a lingering relationship, and it has nothing to do with our empress! Huaping This is slandering our queen!"

"Slander?" Huaping snorted softly: "Since I dared to poison Concubine Zhen, and I dared to stand up and admit it, I naturally have conclusive evidence. Not to mention other things, let's talk about the little atom from the Royal Pharmacy, Miss Changxia But still remember? He is still alive!"

As soon as the words "little atom" came out, anyone could see the panic in Chang Xia's eyes.

Lu Zhaolin asked: "Who is Xiao Atom?"

Huaping said: "He was originally a young eunuch in the Royal Pharmacy, responsible for delivering medicine to Fengyi Palace. Concubine Zhen bribed him to do some tricks in the medicine of the Queen Mother. Later, the Queen Mother passed away, and Concubine Zhen sent someone to ask for it. It’s a pity that the little atom was drowned, but that boy was lucky enough to escape with his life.”

Having said this, she looked at Chang Xia with a sarcastic smile, who was still complaining just now: "Little Atom is still alive, and I happened to meet him. Miss Chang Xia didn't expect it, right?"

Chang Xia's mind was in a mess, and he was trying desperately to think of a way to defend himself, when he heard Lu Zhaolin ask: "Where is Little Atom now?"

Huaping explained everything in detail, and finally added: "There are other evidences collected by the slave. They are all stored in the small box under the bed in the slave's room."

Lu Zhaolin glanced over, and Yao Xingde sent people out knowingly. One wave of people went to get the small atom, and another wave of people went to the screen painting room to get the evidence she said.

At this time, although Xiao Atom had not been found and the evidence had not yet been obtained, looking at Huabing's self-satisfied look after avenging his master, and looking at Chang Xia's panic, Lu Zhaolin was 80% certain that the first Queen Death, I'm afraid it was Concubine Zhen who did it.

When he spoke again, his focus was no longer on the truth or falsehood of the matter, but on the side: "Since the evidence in your hand is conclusive, why didn't you come to me to make the decision for the late queen instead of poisoning her in private?"

"I want you to make the decision for the late Empress?" Huaping looked at his expression, as if he was watching a big joke: "Are you really going to make the decision for the late Empress? The late Empress has already gone. Before she left, there was a long relationship with you. There is not much love between husband and wife left.

As for Concubine Zhen, she has a seventh prince under her knees! In order to avenge the late empress, will you make Concubine Zhen's crimes public and let everyone know that the seventh prince's mother-concubine committed a heinous crime and poisoned the empress? "

Without waiting for Lu Zhaolin to answer, she continued on her own: "You won't! For the seventh prince, you will probably keep Concubine Zhen."

Lu Zhaolin said: "I'm not that confused."

"But I don't dare to bet!" Huabing raised his voice fiercely, and then turned to look at Song Cairen: "Song Cairen is the cousin of the late empress. She knows that the cousin who is so kind to her and so loyal is Zhen Cairen. After the death of the concubine, I was too timid to do anything. How can I dare to bet that you will uphold justice for the late empress?"

After the words fell, Song Cairen's figure was already shaky.

Previously, it was just the eldest maid next to her who murdered the palace concubine, but fortunately she had a name to avenge the late empress, and Huabing said it was not her instigation, so she could barely hold her own.

Now that Huaping said these words, she was completely beaten into a treacherous villain.

All the concubines in this room looked at Song Cairen with more than a little contempt.

He entered the palace in the name of the late queen's cousin and gained the status of a talented person. After hearing the truth about the late queen's death, he pretended to be blind and deaf and flattered his cousin's murderer every day. This talented person from Song Dynasty has a bad character!
