Travel through Shen Meizhuang to open the system and walk sideways in the harem

"Is your concubine making trouble?"

Shen Meimei was stunned, totally not understanding why the emperor would say that.

Lin was her mother. Now her mother was missing. She requested the emperor to send people from the imperial army to look for her, but was accused of making trouble.

She simply couldn't believe what she heard, her heart was filled with grievance and confusion, but she dared not say anything more and could only turn around and leave silently.

"Your Majesty, I will arrange someone to find him myself!" Shen Meimei said in a firm tone.

She decided not to rely on the emperor anymore and to organize people to look for her mother herself. She asked Jinxi to inform all the concubines in the palace to come to Tangli Palace, and summoned all the eunuchs, maids, concubines and others in the palace to prepare to search together.

Shen Meimei knew that this matter was of great importance and she must not be careless in the slightest.

This was the case when she was looking for Princess Jinghe. Every possible corner had to be carefully searched, and nothing suspicious could be left out. She was determined to find her mother and make sure she was safe.

An hour later, Xiao Yunzi came running to report: "My lady, this slave deserves death!"

When Shen Meizhuang heard this, she panicked and asked anxiously, "What did you say? Mother was found? Where is she?"

Her face was as pale as paper, and her eyes were empty, as if she had lost all hope. When Princess Jinghe disappeared, she had also felt such pain and despair, but she didn't expect that even her mother would be in trouble now.

"Xiao Yunzi, where is the old lady? Come on, tell me!"

Shen Meimei closed her eyes in pain, her hands clenched into fists, her nails digging deeply into her palms, and she endured the severe pain in her heart.

Xiao Yunzi lowered her head and said:

"My lady, the old lady... the old lady is gone!... A young eunuch was searching and accidentally tripped over something and fell, and happened to see the old lady lying in the bushes!"

Shen Meizhuang's body trembled slightly, tears welled up in her eyes:

"Come on, take me there. I want to see my mother in person. Who is it that dares to attack my mother?"

At this time, the Mid-Autumn family dinner was about to end, and Su Peisheng told the emperor the news of Lin's murder with a serious face, but the emperor was already drunk at this time. After hearing the news, he just hummed a few words and fell asleep without giving any clear instructions.

Two eunuchs had already carried Lin's body out on a stretcher. Shen Meimei looked at Lin, whose face was covered in blood, with surprise. How could her mother, who was alive just now, be dead in the blink of an eye?

She squatted down and wiped the dried blood with a handkerchief, and found that the gold hairpin was inserted into Lin's throat, and there were some skin scraps left in the cracks of Lin's fingernails.

Shen Meimei looked at Lin's body and said coldly, "Carry it back to Tangli Palace. I will personally dress and bury my mother!"

She stood up and said to the eunuchs around her:

"Notify everyone to seal off the palace immediately. No one is allowed to leave. My mother died tragically and innocently. No one can leave the palace until the truth is revealed!"

Xiao Yunzi lowered her head and said:

"Your Highness, I'm afraid this is against the rules. Just now, Eunuch Su sent someone to say that the emperor has returned to the Yangxin Palace drunk. If we force these ministers and the prince's wife to stay at this time, I'm afraid something bad will happen!"

Shen Meimei sneered, "You have a point. Let Jinxi take people to check. If they did it, the old lady has lost so much blood that she may not have time to change her clothes."

"Mother, who on earth harmed you?" Shen Meimei was full of doubts.
