Chapter 81 Backhand

It has been more than a month since Nianqing fell into the water. During this time, the harem can be described as a variety of scenes, with high tides and high tides. First, Concubine Yun's maid was involved, and then Nianxi hanged herself. The queen became a murderer. The charges have not yet been cleared , was imprisoned in Fengmian Hall.

There were different opinions inside and outside the palace, and more rumors were that Emperor Ye was about to abolish the empress dowager, and the empress dowager summoned the noble ladies of the court to enter the palace. After that, the news of the draft spread throughout Chaoyang City.

This undoubtedly confirmed that Queen Nian was about to be abolished, and the forces attached to Prime Minister Nian in the previous dynasty were a little ready to move.

A breath of imminent rain permeated the air.

However, immediately after, the news spread that Emperor Ye stayed in Fengmian Palace for five consecutive days, clearly breaking the rumors that he was going to be abolished.

Chaotang calmed down a bit.

But everyone knows that as long as the case of Nianqing is not cleared up, there will be no peace.

The night was dark, with no moon or stars, and the silence was a little gloomy.

The guards wore silver armor and held guns. They patrolled in groups of ten, with vigilant expressions.

After the lotus pond case, no matter how Nianqing died, these guards undoubtedly failed to fulfill their responsibilities. With such abilities, how could they be qualified to protect the palace and Emperor Ye, so Ye Muwei took advantage of this time By chance, the commander of the guards was removed and replaced with the Yulong Army that had been arranged earlier, which was a mistake and helped Ye Muwei a lot.

When they passed the lotus pond, the guards all shuddered. A colleague on duty said that if they heard the crying of a woman near the lotus pond, it might be that Nianqing girl was murdered to death, and her soul lingered.

"It is said that today is Wu Qi, a girl from Qing Dynasty." A young guard said in a low voice.

"What are you talking about!" The guard in front of him scolded in a low voice, "Is it okay to say that?"

The little guard immediately silenced, still too scared to look around.

Soon to pass through the lotus pond, a gust of night wind blows.

Something hit the side of the face, with a little warmth.

The little guard touched his face strangely, it was a bit shattered, and when he took it to his eyes, it was a black mass, which was not very real.

Looking around, the little guard noticed a little fire near the lotus pond.

"Team, captain." The little guard stuttered in fright, grabbed the guard in front and called the captain.

"The captain is in front!" the guard said impatiently.

"That, over there." The little guard said with trembling teeth, pointing not far away, fearfully.

The guard followed his gaze and found the fire.He was more knowledgeable than the little guard, frowned slightly, stepped forward a few steps, and reported to the captain of the front guard.

The captain of the guards immediately led the guards towards the direction of the fire, if something happened in the palace silently, what face would he have to be the captain of the guards!

I rushed over quickly and found that there was a pile of thick ashes and unburned paper money on the spot, and there was no one there.

The captain of the guard complied, twirled it, and found that the temperature was still quite high, and the person should not have gone far.

"Chase separately." The captain of the guard gave the order decisively.

So, this night, the harem could not be calm again, and the waves rose again.

Su Yunran hugged Ye Muwei's waist and fell into a drowsy sleep, when he heard voices from outside, the voices belonged to Xi Yan and Quan Defu.

Without even opening his eyes, Su Yunran hugged Ye Muwei tightly and buried his head.

Ye Muwei woke up quickly, patted Su Yunran on the back, and asked, "What's going on?"

Quan Defu, who was standing outside the bed curtain, opened a little bed curtain, and could see his face clearly by the faint candlelight. Xi Yan stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the guards have caught a suspicious person. Suspected murderer of Nianqing girl."

"Caught it?" Ye Muwei was a little surprised, "How did you catch it?"

"While the guards were patrolling, they found someone burning paper money by the lotus pond, so they searched along the road, and found the maid hiding in a rockery." In a short period of time, Xiyan had almost completed the investigation.

Ye Muwei carefully pulled out his arms and sat up, "Who?"

"It's the personal maid of the Concubine De, Lian Bi." Xiyan replied.

Concubine De again?

Ye Muwei was thoughtful. The last time she investigated the rumors, the one who finally found out was Concubine De. Was it Concubine De who did it, or was someone deliberately framing her?

"Is there any enmity between Concubine De and Nianqing Nianxi?" Su Yunran yawned, sat up, and said lazily.

Xiyan shook her head, "I don't know yet, and even Bi didn't explain anything."

"Where's the person now?" Ye Muwei lifted the quilt, getting ready to take a look.

"It's locked up in the Palace of Compassion and Peace!" Xiyan stepped forward to serve.

"I'm going too." Su Yunran grabbed Ye Muwei's clothes and was about to get out of bed.

"What are you going to do, I'll tell you when I get back." Ye Muwei said helplessly, "It's so late, you should have a good rest."

"I don't want it." Su Yunran quickly climbed out of bed, "I'm going, I want to know, what's going on?"

"Alright, let's go together." Ye Muwei had nothing to do with her.

Su Yunran jumped back with a smile, and carelessly kissed Ye Muwei's face.

Fortunately, Xiyan had already anticipated this situation, and took Su Yunran's clothes when she came, and it is convenient to change now, without wasting time.

Not long after, Ye Muwei and Su Yunran left Qifeng Palace.

When the two arrived at the Compassionate Ning Palace, the Compassionate Ning Palace was already brightly lit.

Stepping into the main hall one after another, all the high-ranking concubines in the harem came, and sat down in order of rank, with solemn expressions.

The empress dowager was at the head of the throne, with her temples bent and her eyes slightly closed, leaning against the back of the chair, looking very tired.

Su Yunran followed behind Ye Muwei, sizing up the other concubines, and finally his eyes fell on the frontmost concubine De.

Concubine De's face was very pale, and the thick powder couldn't cover it up. She kept rubbing her handkerchief, her lips trembled slightly, and she was very panicked.

In the center of the main hall, there was a kneeling maid in pink clothes, and two guards in armor stood beside her, which should be Lian Bi and the patrolling guards.

"I have seen the queen mother." Su Yunran stood a little back and saluted with Ye Muwei.

The Queen Mother opened her eyes, sat up straight, and said slowly, "Your Majesty, you are here!"

"It's unfilial for me to disturb my mother in the middle of the night." Ye Muwei stepped forward and said with concern.

The Queen Mother waved her hand, "It's nothing. Your Majesty is tired and needs to rest more." She looked at Su Yunran again, "Concubine Yun, it's your blessing that Your Majesty dotes on you. You must not be petted, you know? "

If she hadn't known that the empress dowager and Ye Muwei were incompatible, Su Yunran would have been really moved by the scene of this mother's kindness and filial piety. Unfortunately, she is just disgusted and wants to vomit, but she can only say, "I respect the empress dowager." Yizhi."

"Ai's family is getting old, let His Majesty handle this matter!" The Queen Mother said lightly.

"Mother, if you are tired, go back and rest first, and leave this place to my son." Ye Muwei was used to pretending to be with the queen mother, with a concerned tone.

"No, Aijia needs to know who dares to kill people in the harem! Such a bold act!" The Queen Mother said angrily, and waved her hand to sweep the teacup on the small wooden table to the ground, making a crisp sound.

"The Queen Mother calms down."

A large group of people in the main hall fell to their knees with a crash.

"Mother, don't get angry." Ye Mu said softly, "Pay attention to your body."

The Queen Mother took a deep breath, "Your Majesty, I will leave it to you."

Ye Mu nodded slightly, "Since this matter has something to do with the Queen, Quan Defu, you go to Fengmian Palace and invite the Queen over here."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Quan Defu took the order and left the main hall.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Ye Muwei looked at the center and said calmly, "The guards will talk first."

"I obey the order." The captain and deputy captain came here, and the captain said, "Return to Your Majesty, I will lead the team to patrol tonight..." He explained the cause and effect of the matter in a few words, which had nothing to do with Xi Yan access.

Ye Mu nodded slightly, "Lian Bi, what do you have to say?"

"Your servant is wronged, wronged..." Lian Bi knelt on the ground, weeping and said, "Miss Nianqing was really not killed by your servant, it has nothing to do with your servant."

"Since it has nothing to do with you, in the middle of the night, why did you go to the lotus pond to burn some paper money?" Concubine Liang interrupted suddenly, "Is this not a guilty conscience?"

"It really has nothing to do with the servant girl!" Lian Bi fell on the ground, her voice trembling, "Today is Miss Nianqing's May Seventh, and the servant girl burned some paper money for Miss Nianqing to thank Miss Nianqing for her help to the servant girl."

"What did Miss Nianqing help you?" This time it was Concubine De who opened her mouth. Her face was still pale, but her expression had calmed down. She knew that this incident had something to do with her.Just like Qian Xue was to Concubine Yun, everything Lian Bi did would only be counted on her head.

"In the imperial garden before, my servant smashed a mutton jade. It was Miss Nianqing who helped hide the past, and this servant always kept it in mind." Lian Bi explained, "That's why this servant wants to burn some paper for Miss Nianqing."

"Oh, does it take midnight to burn the paper? Can't it be during the day?" Concubine Liang sneered, "Besides, what is the identity of Nianqing girl, do you still need you to burn paper for her?"

"My servant is absolutely true, please Your Majesty to see clearly!" Lian Bi said hastily.

Ye Muwei didn't speak, thinking in her heart, is this the queen's backhand?That's why you're so confident?It seems that Concubine De is going to be miserable.

At this moment, the queen walked in wearing a phoenix robe.

During this period of time, the queen also lost a lot of weight, but she is in good spirits. Are you sure that Ye Di will save her, or do you know that you will be fine?

"Your Majesty, I have seen your mother." The queen saluted and said softly.

"Get up." The queen mother glanced at the queen, Ye Mu slightly raised her hand, "The queen sit down and listen."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The queen sat on the left side of Ye Muwei, glanced at Lian Bi, and a dark look flashed across her eyes. Fortunately, she had made preparations in advance, otherwise she would really fall into the hands of that bitch Nianxi!These two sluts are really going to cause trouble. Fortunately, they died early, otherwise they would have to be killed!Hehe, do you think it's all over once you die, there are still people alive!

Ye Mu slightly nodded at Xi Yan, and Xi Yan walked to the Queen's side, and whispered what happened just now.

At this time, the entire main hall was silent.
