How to Raid the Queen

Li Xi took Li Zhiyuan on the chariot, and soon arrived at the palace where Concubine Chen lived.After Concubine Chen was demoted to be a concubine, she moved to the palace closest to the concubines.According to the rules, although he is not eligible to enter the main palace alone, since there are not many people in Jing Wenhao's harem, in fact, he just changed to a remote palace and moved from the main hall to a side hall.Concubine Chen's mother was still in prison, and her father had just lifted the ban a few days ago and stood on the court again. Li Xi felt that it was impossible for Concubine Chen to commit suicide.

As soon as he arrived in the hall, Li Xi saw that in Nuo Da's hall, none of the palace servants dared to stand, Li Xi knelt together before entering the door, and he could see those palace attendants just by taking a glance. The magnitude of the body trembling.

When everyone saw Li Xi coming, they all knelt down and paid their respects along the way, saying: "Queen Jin'an."

Li Xi seemed completely changed at this time, no longer had a calm expression on his face as in the past, making people feel refreshed like a spring breeze blowing on his face, but full of hostility, Li Zhiyuan who was standing next to him felt The air pressure around him was a little low.

Li Xi flicked his sleeves casually, motioning for them all to get up, and the court ladies and eunuchs who were kneeling on the ground got up.

The palace maid next to Concubine Chen led the way, and the group soon arrived at the palace where Concubine Chen slept.

Before entering the door, Li Xi suddenly thought that Concubine Chen had a noble status after all, and Li Zhiyuan was a foreign minister, so he paused and asked the maid: "Is her legacy appropriate?"

The palace lady knew what Li Xi meant, and quickly replied, "Don't worry, the empress, everything will be packed when the empress leaves."

Only then did Li Xi feel relieved, and led the person into the door.

Concubine Chen's body had already been carried down. At this time, a mat was placed on the ground, and the person lay on it, covered by a white cloth.

Li Xi walked over and signaled the person next to him to lift the white cloth.The maid under him was timid, trembling and hesitating for a long time, and finally a little eunuch stretched out two fingers and pulled the white cloth off.Concubine Chen's whole body was exposed in the eyes of everyone.

Li Xi looked at Concubine Chen, she was dressed neatly, and she knew that the clothes were only the materials she was qualified to use when she was a concubine.The makeup is neat, except that his face is pale and bloodless, it is hard to tell that this is a dead person.Concubine Chen's body was very orderly, lying on the straw mat, even her hair was not messed up.

"You said your mother kicked you all out last night when it was bedtime?" Li Xi looked at Concubine Chen carefully, always feeling a little strange.

"Back to the queen, yes. Yes." When the palace lady replied, she knelt down again consciously.

"Who were the palace servants who served Concubine Chen last night?" Li Xi continued to ask.

"Only slaves and Chunhua." The palace maid knelt on the ground, her body shaking has not stopped since she went to his palace to report the situation just now.It would be strange not to be afraid of such a thing. There were many examples in the previous dynasty. If a concubine who had enough status for everything went away for no reason, the maids and wives around her would not be able to escape.

"Who is the other court lady?" Li Xi asked one after another. There were too many doubts about this matter, and his mind was a little confused at the moment, so he could only rely on his own intuition to ask these questions.

Just after asking this question, another maid beside him knelt down in front of him and cried, "Return to the queen, yes, it's a slave."

Li Xi had heard enough of these crying voices, and said sharply: "Everyone stop. What are you doing crying like this? If the matter is clear, no one wants you to be buried with him."

After hearing this, the two maids began to feel relieved.

"Don't your mothers wash up before going to bed?" The crying around her became quieter, and Li Xi's mind became clearer.

"Back to the queen, last night the empress only said that she wanted to be quiet, so she didn't let anyone serve her. The servants brought water for the empress, but she didn't use it." The palace maid said and pointed to the shelf beside the bed. There is a basin of water, and there is a Zhang Pazi beside it.

Li Xi's eyes turned back to Concubine Chen's body. The purple strangle marks on Concubine Chen's neck were very obvious, but it always made him feel that something was wrong.While thinking about it, Zhi Ling came over with two assistants.

"See you, Queen, Queen Jin'an." Both of them greeted Li Xi in unison.

"Okay, let's get up." Li Xi said, waiving the ceremony from the two of them, "Come here and see how people die."

The two assistants took out their tools, searched on Concubine Chen for a long time, then looked at each other, as if exchanging results, and then one of them stood up like a representative, and said, "Return to the Queen, Concubine Chen has no wounds other than the strangle marks on her neck. It doesn't look like she was traumatized. The mouth, throat and stomach have been tested with silver needles, and there is no sign of poisoning. From this point of view, Concubine Chen should be Hanged himself."

"If he hanged himself, is it possible that he was forced by someone?" Although the two masters gave such an answer, Li Xi didn't believe it at all, because it was really unreasonable to do so.

"Queen Hui, if someone forcibly hangs her up, the person's hands will definitely grab the rope and try to escape, but there are no strangle marks on the hands of Concubine Chen, she should be determined to die." The two assistants looked at each other, unaware of Li Xi What does it mean nowadays.According to common sense, shouldn't the empress be happy when a favored concubine dies in the harem? Why doesn't this look happy, but rather unspeakably worried?

Before the authors had time to say anything, Jing Wenhao arrived.

Jing Wenhao learned the news from the imperial court. He was sitting on the dragon chair at that time, when someone came from behind and handed An Fuquan a note.An Fuquan's sharp eyes saw that it was someone from the empress's palace, so he didn't dare to delay and pass it on to Jing Wenhao as it was.Jing Wenhao was furious on the spot, dismissed the ministers in the court and went to the palace.

As soon as Jing Wenhao came in, all the people present except Li Xi knelt down to salute Jing Wenhao, saying: "The Emperor Sheng'an."

"Who gave you the courage to come to this kind of place alone?" Jing Wenhao yelled at Li Xi as soon as he entered.Jing Wenhao was really angry when he saw the note in the court hall, and he was so anxious that he couldn't do it.But he was not angry about Concubine Chen's death. After all, Concubine Chen was placed by his side, so she was going to die, but it was only a matter of time.Now that this incident happened, at most it would be Old General Chen coming out again, but these are all in his control, after all, Li Yong has already been arranged, and his ability to manage the army is beyond Jing Wenhao's previous life. I have seen it before.He was angry because it was Li Xi who said on the board that he felt that someone was messing up this matter, so he decided to go and have a look first.

Li Xi was about to tell Jing Wenhao what he just asked, but before he could say anything, Jing Wenhao yelled at him in a daze, and stood there for a long time without reacting.After thinking for a long time, he asked a bit aggrieved: "Your Majesty, are you blaming me?"

Li Xi's voice was soft, and when he said this, his eyes were fixed on Jing Wenhao, and it was written on his face: I am wronged, four big characters.Jing Wenhao always felt sorry for him, but when he saw the man so sad, he realized that his tone was a bit more serious just now. Afraid of Li Xi's stinginess, he quickly hugged him and put him in his arms, and stroked Li Xi with the other hand. With a clear back, he whispered in people's ears: "No, no. How can I blame you? You, even if you have a child now, I love you so much, I don't even have time to love you."

Li Xi knew that Jing Wenhao was coaxing him, but he still knew that it was really not appropriate for him to run here while pregnant, not to mention Jing Wenhao, but his family would have known will be blamed.So he hurried down the steps Jing Wenhao gave him, leaned slightly on Jing Wenhao's body for strength, and said: "The emperor will speak in a quieter voice in the future, scaring me and the children."

Jing Wenhao held the person in his arms, and when he heard Li Xi's soft coquettishness, he wished he could hold him in his arms. There was no one who would not agree, and he responded repeatedly: "Okay, okay. It's all my fault, next time I will speak louder." Okay, can you punish me?" After speaking, he realized that his temper seemed to be completely controlled by Li Xi.

Only then did Li Xi nodded in Jing Wenhao's arms with satisfaction.

The people brought by Li Xi were used to seeing Jing Wenhao getting along with Li Xi, so they didn't find anything strange about the scene in front of them. They just knelt on the spot, and when Jing Wenhao was in a good mood, the "flat body".But the people around Concubine Chen were different. Concubine Chen was favored before, but no matter how favored she was, it was just a few more rewards from the palace, and she usually came a few more times.Petting people like this, they feel that there is no one before or after.Especially for the two assistants, this is the first time to see the emperor. I had just heard Jing Wenhao's first words, and I was secretly worried in my heart if I forgot to read the almanac when I went out today. How could I meet the emperor? It's time to get angry.As a result, the emperor began to coax people with soft words at the next sentence. They only thought that they might be crazy, and they could see this scene in their lifetime.

In the anticipation of everyone, Jing Wenhao finally said: "Pingshen."

"Your Majesty, this matter..." Li Xi watched Jing Wenhao regain his composure, and was about to speak.

"I know." Jing Wenhao interrupted Li Xi gently, "You don't have to worry."

Then he changed his face the next moment, and said very solemnly: "Come here, all the servants in Concubine Chen's palace will be separated and imprisoned in the clan's mansion. Concubine Chen's body was moved to the dungeon of the clan's mansion, and the ice cellar was opened. I have saved it. Go and find me all the works of Dali Temple in the clan's mansion, and after checking them one by one, each person will write a report and hand it in."

Just now listening to Li Xi's words, the palace servant who was relieved for a while at the news that he didn't need to be buried with him, at this moment his heart hung up again.
