The reborn princess is the concubine

Chapter 71 Investigation

The matter of investigating the cause of Nianqing's death was finally handed over by the queen mother to the empress, the master of the harem, with the assistance of Concubine Yun, Concubine De and Concubine Liang.

These are the few with the highest status in the harem, and the concubines naturally have no objection.

The matter came to an end temporarily, and the Empress Dowager let the concubines leave the Compassion Palace.

At this time, it was almost noon, the sun was shining brightly in the sky, and just as they stepped out of the gate of the Compassionate Ning Palace, a heat wave rushed towards them.

This weather, when will it rain?

Su Yunran couldn't help frowning, what was Ye Muwei thinking?Too many things happened in the past few days, and I didn't have time to ask.Anyway, there is no need to hide anything now.

Many concubines wanted to find out about Concubine Yun, and by the way, to make contact with each other, so they all went to Su Yunran, wanting to invite her to chat, drink tea, and eat.

It's just that Su Yunran is not interested in them, and she excuses that she is not in good health and wants to go back to rest, but she refuses all of them.

The concubines didn't force it either, they all said some polite words, then gathered together in twos and threes, and left.

Su Yunran heaved a sigh of relief, these concubines are all Ye Mutian's concubines, they have no affection for Ye Muwei, nor any help, so naturally they don't want to have any contact with them.

"Xiyan, let's go back too!" Su Yunran said, "After you go back, check to see if His Majesty has come down. If so, please come down and tell her that I have something important to see her."

"Your servant knows." Xi Yan responded with a smile.

"Concubine Yun, wait a moment."

Before walking a few steps, the queen's voice came from behind.

Su Yunran pursed her lips unhappily, and when she turned around, she already had a lazy expression.

Not far away, the Empress, Concubine De and Concubine Liang walked over with six maids.

Su Yunran looked at Concubine De and Concubine Liang, the only two concubines of the second rank in the harem.

Concubine De is 24 years old this year, with beautiful features and a small family. She has the eldest son of the emperor. She is gentle, low-key and popular. Concubine Liang is 23 years old. He's a bit flamboyant, outspoken, and popular.

Su Yunran had seen them in the previous life, but this was the first time he saw them in this life, and found that there was no difference from the previous life.

"Empress Empress, Sister De Concubine, Sister Liang Concubine." Su Yunran smiled, doing a good job on the surface. Although De Concubine and Liang Concubine are not as high as her, they are older than her and entered the palace earlier than her , I can still afford to call my sister.

Concubine De and Concubine Liang were overwhelmed by the flattery, waved their hands again and again, and saluted.

"It's like this." The empress pointed to Concubine De and Concubine Liang, and said softly, "Concubine Yun, it's getting late and the weather is very hot. Your Qifeng Palace is far away from the Cining Palace. It's not too close, so why not go to Fengmian Hall in this palace and have lunch. Concubine De and Concubine Liang are also here, how about we discuss where to investigate?"

Su Yunran thought that participating in the investigation would give him some clues in advance, so that he would not know if someone poured dirty water on him. Although Ye Muwei would protect her, Ye Muwei's reputation is not good, so he agreed. .

She had a hunch that this matter would not be easily resolved no matter from the queen mother or queen.

"Concubine Yun, if you read correctly, the maid behind you is His Majesty's personal maid, Xi Yan!" the queen asked softly.

"It's indeed Xiyan." Su Yunran smiled and explained, "A few days ago he was infected with the cold, and His Majesty became angry, and sent Qianxue and Qianye who took care of me to wash clothes. Seeing that there was no one around me, he Leave Xiyan behind for now."

As soon as these words came out, Concubine De and Concubine Liang were startled, thinking in their hearts - this Concubine Yun is really favored, it seems that she can only win over, not offend.

"Really, why doesn't anyone around you say it?" The queen pretended to be angry and said.

"It's not a big deal." Su Yunran said lightly, "Your Majesty said, two maids will be sent to me someday." In one sentence, the empress stopped her from trying to put people around her.

The queen smiled, "Your Majesty is really holding Concubine Yun in the palm of his hand for fear of losing it!"

"The empress is joking." Su Yunran stuck out her tongue, showing a bit of shyness, "Your Majesty can tell, when someone brings it, I will return Xiyan to her!"

While talking, everyone has already arrived outside Fengmian Palace.

After lunch, the maid put away the dishes neatly, served the iced fruit plate and tea, and quietly left.

"Three younger sisters, if I have something to say, I will speak directly." The queen sat in a high position with a gentle tone, "Since the queen mother has entrusted the matter to us, we will give the queen mother a satisfactory explanation, don't you think so?"

"It's natural." Su Yunran said, Concubine De and Concubine Liang followed suit.

"Well, I wonder if the three younger sisters have any charter, let's talk about it?" The queen had a plan in her heart, and she didn't let Nianxi go to the queen mother early to make preparations.

"I have a quarrel with Sister Nianqing, so I won't participate in the investigation." Su Yunran decided to retreat, "It's just that I can't disobey the queen mother's order, so I can only trouble the queen and the two sisters."

"Concubine Yun Gui was joking." The Queen waved her hand, "Since the Queen Mother wants your assistance, she naturally trusts you. Ben Gong, Concubine De and Concubine Liang also trust you."

"That's right. How could Concubine Yun Gui do such a thing?" Concubine De and Concubine Liang knew that they were probably going to study with the prince this time, so they agreed.

Su Yunran smiled gratefully, and sighed, "I never thought that Nian Qing would do such a stupid thing because he couldn't think about it."

"Oh." The queen also sighed.

"Empress Empress, Concubine Yun, Sister Concubine De." Concubine Liang opened her mouth, and when the three people's eyes fell on her, she said, "Since Nianqing ran out in the middle of the night, why don't you check first, who has gone out in the middle of the night? Alright. This way, we can also lock in a range, which is convenient for investigation.”

"What Concubine Liang said is very true." The queen clapped her hands happily.

Su Yunran pondered for a moment, "Empress, Nian Qing lives in your Fengmian Hall, and Fengmian Hall is heavily guarded, did any eunuchs or maids see Nian Qing go out?"

"I have already asked all the maids and eunuchs, but no one saw it." The Queen shook her head, "The maids who served Nian Qing that night were also dismissed early."

"Then there are no other clues, so let's do what Sister Liang Concubine said?" Su Yunran said.

"I think so too." The queen nodded, "Concubine De, what about you?"

"Just do it." Concubine De had no objection either.

With a preliminary direction, the queen quickly found someone to come in and gave orders one after another.

Seeing that there was nothing to do, Su Yunran greeted the queen and went back.

Just after returning to Qifeng Palace, a maid came to report that His Majesty is coming.

Su Yunran's eyes lit up, he asked where Ye Muwei was, and ran over.

Pushing open the door of Baoxia Hall, a man in blue uniform standing on the desk, with his wrists hanging high, greeted his eyes, practicing calligraphy.

Hearing the sound of the door being pushed, Ye Muwei didn't look up, and only put down the pen after finishing the last drawing.

"Wei'er." Su Yunran was already lying on the wooden table, looking at her with bright eyes.

Ye Mu smiled and nodded her forehead, "I heard that you went to the Compassionate Ning Palace today, did the Empress Dowager make things difficult for you?"

"It's okay." Su Yunran waved his hand indifferently, and explained what happened in a few words, thinking that Ye Muwei had a lot of people in the harem, so he already knew when it happened.

"Don't worry, there will be no next time." Ye Muwei looked at her tenderly, "I will make the Queen Mother pay the price."

"Wei'er is the best." Su Yunran rushed over to hug her and kiss her.

Ye Muwei caught her and responded with a small kiss.

After the kiss was over, Su Yunran nestled in Ye Muwei's arms, squeezed into a wooden chair with her, and said in a low voice, "What do you want to do to the Queen Mother?"

"What can I do to the queen mother? That's my mother's queen." Ye Mu smiled slightly, "But don't worry, I won't let you suffer." The young lady from the Lin family is not young anymore, you can find a good marriage for her For example, her restless Prince Duan Rui.

Su Yunran blinked her eyes, a question popped into her mind suddenly, does the Queen Mother know that Ye Mutian is dead, and the current Ye Mutian is Ye Muwei pretending to be?
