Remembrance Hibiscus GL

Since the emperor said that he would interrogate overnight, no one dared to wait until the next morning.Except for Hengbo and Baozhen, everyone in Xiefang Palace was imprisoned.The queen smiled and said to the imperial concubine: "I have something to say, I don't know if it is true or not, although the emperor said that he would interrogate the people in Xiefang Palace, but I thought, since the anti-fetal medicine has been tampered with, ask the people who have come into contact with it. The talents of the medicine bowl are very important, and the innocent should not be implicated."

The imperial concubine bowed in the seat, with a respectful expression: "What the queen said is very true, and the concubine also means the same." After speaking, she said: "There is one more thing that is very embarrassing. The last person to touch the medicine bowl is Lianfei's close body. The maidservant, Baozhen, was brought over by Concubine Lian from Jinling, and the person who served her children, at this very moment, stayed in front of Concubine Lian's bed. As far as the concubines knew, although they were named masters and servants, they were actually relatives. For example, sister, Yu Li, she is also suspected of serving the decoction in front of the master. Yu Qing, she should not be able to do anything to murder the master. Right now, Concubine Lian has lost her child, and her body and mind have been greatly damaged. If we let her sleep When the time comes, she will punish her beloved maidservant, and if she is provoked at that time, the emperor may not be able to explain it to her."

The queen thought for a while and said, "Since that's the case, Baozhen doesn't have to stand trial for the time being. Let's see what she means when Concubine Lian wakes up."

The imperial concubine smiled slightly: "Yes, the queen is still thoughtful."

There were three people who touched the medicine bowl, the little eunuch Yuan Bao, the little court lady Yi Qing, and Bao Zhen, Yuan Bao and Yi Qing were out of their wits at this moment, and just knelt on the ground, yelling that they were wronged. With a wink, someone from Ye Ting Si had already come up and dragged the two of them down together with the rough envoy and eunuch Jean, and even Li Mao was taken down.Ye Ting Si is the institution in charge of criminal names in the palace. There are more than a hundred kinds of cruel criminal laws, all of which can make your life worse than death, but can keep you alive. The harem ranges from concubines to the lowest. All the court ladies and eunuchs turned pale when they talked about this place.

The huge Xiefang Palace suddenly became empty, and had to temporarily select some people to come over as errands. The queen told Su Yun to pay attention to everything and take good care of Lianzhen, so she stood up and invited The imperial concubine went to Yonghua Palace together.

Because it was late at night, when the queen and the imperial concubine sat down respectively, Ranchun and others hurriedly brought all kinds of snacks. The imperial concubine was thinking about Lianzhen, so she didn't have the heart to eat. She drank tea and talked to the queen perfunctorily.I don't know how long it took before Yiqing and the other three were brought up again. Their faces were pale and weak, and their bodies, legs, fingers, etc. were covered with bruises. Although the blood had been washed away with water, there were new threads of blood oozing out. Come, look at it shockingly.

Liu Zhen, the eunuch in charge of the Yeting Department, knelt down and said: "Go back to the two ladies, the slaves have already imposed some punishments on them. Jin insisted that it was already dark at that time, and he really couldn't see the face of the person who sent the message. I don't know his real identity, so I can only wait until tomorrow to call someone to identify him. Yuan Bao and Yi Qing only cried for mercy, they refused to plead guilty, and they couldn't explain why, so they asked the empress to show them. "

The queen's face darkened slightly: "Is this what you Ye Tingsi are capable of?"

Liu Zhen was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, forgive me, this servant will go to retrial."

"Wait a minute." The imperial concubine put down the teacup suddenly, and said to the queen, "Your Majesty, I have a few words, and I want to ask Yuan Bao personally."

The queen was startled, and said with a smile, "Sister, just ask."

Immediately, someone came forward with Yuanbao in their hands, and the imperial concubine asked, "Since the imperial doctor Li left, have you been guarding and boiling the medicine?"

Yuan Bao resisted the piercing pain on his body, and said with tears: "Yes."

"Are you sure that no one has entered the room where the medicine is boiled during this period?"

"Yes."

"When you waited to boil the medicine and poured the medicine, did anything special happen?"

Yuan Bao hesitated slightly: "No."

The imperial concubine stared into his eyes: "If you think about it carefully, if you can't find the murderer, those of you who have touched the medicine bowl will also have to bury the child in the belly of Lian Xiaozhu, and it will affect the family. If you can provide Some clues, maybe a glimmer of hope."

Yuan Bao suddenly prostrated himself on the ground and cried out: "Your Majesty, spare your life! I beg your Majesty to spare the slave's life!"

The imperial concubine said: "Do you have anything to say?"

Yuan Bao wept bitterly: "Madam, while waiting to boil the medicine, the slave got sleepy for a while, so he took a nap with his arms folded."

The imperial concubine said: "Why didn't you say that just now?"

"I just squinted for a while, the slave was confused, I didn't think of this, and I was also afraid...afraid of taking the blame for it."

"Did you smell anything unusual, or eat or drink anything before you took a nap?"

While thinking, Yuan Bao sobbed and said: "The room is full of medicine fragrance, but I didn't notice any unusual smell, just thirsty, so I poured a bowl of water from the teapot to drink."

The imperial concubine stared at the queen: "Empress, I'm done asking."

The empress nodded, her gaze was already very severe: "It seems that none of them should be let go." After finishing speaking, Liu Zhen looked at Liu Zhen, and Liu Zhen understood: "I will go and try them one by one."

The queen said: "Not only that, the lower parts of Xiefang Palace have also been carefully searched. For example, the tea mentioned just now, etc., have to be sampled and sent to the Imperial Hospital for testing."

"Yes."

Liu Zhen took his men and went in a hurry.The Queen smiled and said: "Since we have new clues, the Ye Ting Secretary will explain to me tomorrow. Now it's Yin time, I'm a little tired, why don't my sister go back to the palace to rest?"

The imperial concubine said: "In that case, I will take my leave first." Standing up, she gave a salute to the empress, even if she said goodbye, the empress got up and left her seat, and asked to be sent to the gate of the palace.

The Qingquan Palace was also brightly lit at this time, and all the people in the palace were waiting for the imperial concubine to come back. The imperial concubine entered the bedroom, changed her clothes, took off the hairpin ring, sat down on the kang, and ordered: "Everyone waited all night. , Tell them all to go to rest, I just leave Qinzhu and Shutong here to serve."

"Yes."

A bowl of bird's nest and white fungus soup was delivered from the kitchen, Qin Zhu took it and said softly: "Your Majesty has been busy in the middle of the night, she must be hungry, let's get something first."

The imperial concubine took it over, picked up the spoon and ate a few mouthfuls, then put it on the table, sighed softly, and said Qinzhu: "Your Majesty is worried about Imperial Doctor Li? I'm afraid this matter will implicate Empress Dao..." Speaking of this, I was afraid.

"No, she is an imperial doctor of the Imperial Hospital, and she was not on duty in Xiefang Palace for a day or two. Today she was only interrogated, not sentenced to death. Besides, I also believe in her loyalty." In the dark night, there was a trace of worry on the brows: "I am worried about the queen. She just suddenly asked me to come back to rest. I have a faint feeling in my heart that something might happen tonight."

Shutong was startled: "Your Majesty is saying that the matter of Young Master Lian has something to do with the Empress?"

The imperial concubine didn't answer, but Qinzhu said in a low voice: "Aunt Sang Rong said that someone from Changle Palace sent a message at night, saying that the emperor summoned Concubine Min today, and Concubine Min had tears on her face when she came out."

"She has done such a thing once, and the emperor will naturally suspect her." The imperial concubine's eyes were slightly cold, and she said lightly: "If you harm Lianzhen's child and bring down your old enemy Concubine Min, maybe you can still do it." Bringing up the First Prince, three birds with one stone is really a good plan."

Qinzhu and Shutong glanced at each other, only feeling that their bodies were soaked in cold, the imperial concubine said in a deep voice: "Since she is determined to bring down Concubine Min, she has a careful plan." Said: "Go and ask Gao Xian to come in."

"Yes."

Qinzhu hurriedly went out to spread the word, Gao Xian was still not asleep at this time, and hurriedly entered the inner room and knelt down: "Please be safe, master." The imperial concubine raised her face slightly, Qinzhu took Shutong out, and the two stood guard in person. Outside.The imperial concubine Fang whispered: "You will find a way to get someone to bring a message to the uncle tomorrow. In a few days, the emperor will deal with Yan Kun, and the post of General Wei will be vacant. Let him plan it in the next few days. Get ready."

Yan Kun is Concubine Min's father, who is currently occupying the important position of General Guard, in charge of the entire capital's garrison. Gao Xian couldn't help being startled when he heard this: "A few days ago, the emperor still praised General Yan, how could it be..."

The imperial concubine said: "My palace has its own reasons, you just need to tell people to spread the word."

"Yes, what else do you want to convey, Your Majesty?"

The imperial concubine lost her mind for a while, and Fang said: "There is nothing else."

"The servant knows."

"Also, I will personally repair a letter overnight, and you will send someone to send it out in the morning." The imperial concubine looked at him, and solemnly said: "Let people send it to Liangzhou as soon as possible. No one should know about it. Including the uncle."

Gao Xian kowtowed: "Yes."

"You have always been shrewd and quick-witted, and you have handled things properly. I am very relieved." The imperial concubine heaved a sigh of relief: "Okay, you can go down."

Because the environment is a harem, with many rules and people, the emperor is not a wimp

So the progress of the relationship is slower, and at 44, there is not even a very affectionate gesture

But the big twists and turns are also big turning points, and the dawn is coming soon.
