Chapter 59 Suspicion

Nianqing's death did not fade away with the passage of time, but intensified instead.

In just three days, rumors in the palace were raging and raging.Obviously no one saw what happened to Nian Qing, but now it is spread in a strict manner, as if they saw it with their own eyes.

Among these rumors, the most widely circulated one is that Nian Qing was killed by Concubine Yun Gui—killed, refers to the fact that Nian Qing couldn't bear Concubine Yun's bullying, so he threw himself into the river, otherwise how could he die in Liqifeng Palace What about the nearest lotus pond?

Concubine Yun Gui is His Majesty's favored concubine and the princess of a country, why is she so fussy and narrow-minded?Is such a woman worthy of the position of imperial concubine?Isn't this insulting His Majesty?

The rumors spread more and more outrageous, and gradually, the original appearance was forgotten.

Although the eunuch in charge and the aunt punished many maid eunuchs who talked badly, the rumors were still repeated.

"Xinfang Palace? Concubine De?"

After the desk case in the imperial study, Ye Muwei was correcting the memorials that had been accumulated for several days, while listening to Eunuch Quan Defu's report on the investigation, with a bit of anger in his brows.

As the highest ruler of Ye Kingdom, there was only Ye Muwei who didn't want to know, and there was nothing he didn't know.Therefore, when the rumors first spread, she ordered Quan Defu to investigate, and now there are results.

However, this result surprised her very much.

"Yes, Your Majesty, it was indeed reported by a maid in the Xinfang Palace who served the Concubine De." Quan Defu carefully observed Ye Muwei's expression, and already had some determination in his heart.

Tapping the table with her index finger, Ye Mu slightly put down her pen, thinking, Concubine De has a gentle temperament, doesn't like to fight, and has a prince, so her position is stable.It's just that unlike the queen, Concubine De's background is not high, she is just a concubine sent up by a small official, even if Su Yunran and the queen are abolished, she will definitely not be able to sit on the queen's position.Therefore, there will be no hatred with Su Yunran for no reason.

But it is impossible to say that Su Yunran offended her.Su Yunran has only been in the palace for more than two months, and usually stays with her or stays in his own bedroom, and has never seen Concubine De, so how could he offend her?

"Continue to investigate, starting with the grand lady, and find out her identity." Ye Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone cold.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Quan Defu knew that His Majesty did not believe that Concubine De would do such a thing, so he wanted to investigate whether this grand maid was bribed.

"Besides, how did Nianqing die?" Ye Muwei picked up the pen again and opened the memorial. Although Nianqing and Nianxi were not big, they had great ambitions. Anyone with eyes in the palace could see it. Only they thought they were It's well concealed, but whoever is a bit of a bit doesn't take them as a joke.This kind of person would not commit suicide, let alone die in the lotus pond not far from Qifeng Palace?No matter how you look at it, it looks like a premeditated plan to harm Su Yunran.

"Miss Nianqing has no trauma on her body, and there is no sign of being poisoned or struggling. She really died of drowning." Quan Defu replied.

Ye Muwei thought for a while, and said, "Quan Defu, go to the prime minister's mansion yourself, and hand over the investigation to Prime Minister Nian. Also, make no reservations about what Nianxi did after entering the palace." Tell Prime Minister Nian, you know?"

"I understand." Quan Defu agreed.

"Nianxi is still in Fengmian Palace?" Ye Muwei asked again.

"The imperial doctor said that Miss Nianxi was overly sad and her heart was stagnant. She should take good care of her and should not move." Quan Defu answered very comprehensively.

"In that case, let the queen take good care of Nianxi." Ye Muwei waved his hand, "Quan Defu, you should go out of the palace now."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After Quan Defu left, Ye Muwei continued to process the memorial, and some controversial memorials were placed on the left hand side, and they will be brought up for re-discussion in the morning tomorrow.

After about an hour, I saw that the memorial was much less, so I stopped writing.

The tea in hand was already cold, and it became more and more bitter.

Moisturizing his throat, Ye Mu clapped his hands slightly, and two black shadows fell from the roof, kneeling in front of the table.

In the past few days of "sickness", she has been thinking about how to solve the drought - there is nothing she can do about natural disasters, but *that's what she should do.

After thinking about it for a few days, she has come to a conclusion, and she can leave it to Yulongjun.

Yulongjun accepted the task, saluted and then withdrew.

In the imperial study room, Ye Muwei was the only one left.

Tiredly pinching the center of his brows, Ye Muwei picked up the pen again.

After a while, Ye Muwei heard the sound of the wooden door being pushed open, thought it was the eunuch delivering tea, and said without raising his head, "Put it down, go out."

"stay home."

A familiar voice sounded, Ye Mu was slightly startled, looked up, and saw Su Yunran walking gracefully to her side with a tray.

"Concubine Yun?" Ye Muwei put down his pen and got up, "Why are you here?"

"Your Majesty won't come to see the concubine, so the concubine can only come to see the concubine." Su Yunran put the tray on the table, said lazily with a smile on his lips.

Yemu pursed her lips slightly, "The Royal Study Room is not a place where concubines can come."

"Where I can't go?" Su Yunran laughed, and leaned over, breathing warmly, "Does Your Majesty want to use this to punish the concubine? Why don't you punish the concubine to serve His Majesty well?"

Is this punishing you or punishing me?

Ye Mu stepped back a little bit, calmly, "Go back if you have nothing to do!"

"I don't want to go back." Su Yunran rushed to hug her, "Don't you miss me?"

Ye Muwei was hugged upright, and held her in his arms, "I still have a lot of things to deal with, I will go to Qifeng Palace to see you at night."

"I'll accompany you." Su Yunran was not easy to dismiss, he hugged Ye Muwei and didn't let go.

Ye Muwei couldn't help it, "Otherwise, you can go to the Baoxia Hall in the Panlong Palace to rest, and I will go find you after finishing the memorial."

Su Yunran curled her lips and pointed to the table case, "Let's eat something first, political affairs can't be finished, and the body is important."

Yemu smiled gently and agreed.

Su Yunran didn't want to stay in the Imperial Study Room either. She had a special status. Even if Ye Muwei didn't care, it would cause criticism. Seeing Ye Muwei eat the snacks, she was satisfied.

The goal has been achieved, Su Yunran left the imperial study.

The weather in the afternoon was extremely hot, and the cry of cicadas was a little tired.

It took only half a stick of incense from the Imperial Study Room to the Panlong Hall, but Su Yunran only felt sticky all over his body and was very uncomfortable.

It's too hot and uncomfortable, let's take a bath!

Su Yunran thought, well, he can give Ye Muwei a surprise.
