[Red House] Harem Road in Spring

If it is said that there is no one behind Madam Deng, Yingchun is one thousand and ten thousand people do not believe it.

Yingchun's question made Concubine Xian and Concubine Gui think about it, yes, if it was just Nanny Deng, why did she hold on to it like this?

Concubine Xian and Concubine Gui also kept a close eye on Nanny Deng, as if they wanted to see the master behind her from Nanny Deng's expression.

Madam Deng was indeed the one who could pass things in front of the emperor, even if Yingchun's sharp questioning did not make her show the slightest strangeness.

"No matter what the three empresses think, the servants are willing to stand up to the majestic Zhou Cairen to redress the grievances, only because Zhou Cairen and the servants have the grace of saving lives, and the servants do not want to see Zhou Cairen die in vain. Besides, the servants are already at this age, and there is nothing wrong with them. Look at it, enmity is enmity, kindness is kindness, repay it when it is due, if you die, it is just a cheap life, and death is what you want!"

Is this an explanation?She replied that Yingchun didn't believe that this old fritter would simply sacrifice her life for Zhou Cairen, and even vaguely pointed out that her life might be in danger just because she defended Zhou Cairen.

This Mother Deng's combat effectiveness is really strong!

"It's just that, from what Zhou Cairen said, the servant has a doubt. I don't know if the concubine Xian can help the servant?" Mother Deng said again, it was obvious that the visitor was not kind.

"Let's listen." Concubine Xian didn't show any timidity at all. If she was just a servant on weekdays, how could she let a servant force her? But today, the emperor is watching from the side, so she must perfectly answer all the questions. .

"Zhou Cairen told the maidservant that she hated her very much when she met her for the first time. Later, although she didn't show it on the face, she still didn't like Zhou Cairen. Could you tell me why she met for the first time? You don't like Zhou Cairen?" Mother Deng said.

Yingchun also remembered what Mother Deng said.

That seemed to be the first time that she, the noble concubine, and the concubine Xian gathered in the apse of the East Palace as the emperor and concubine. At that time, Zhou Cairen and Guo Meiren came to visit the three of them together, and the concubine Xian showed displeasure towards Zhou Cairen. look.Later, Concubine Xian explained that her father had an aunt who was delicate and weak, but she and her mother suffered a lot. That aunt acted like Zhou Cairen, which made her treat Zhou Cairen Showing a bit of displeasure.

It was just a small episode, Yingchun can still remember today because Concubine Xian has always been good-tempered and kind to others, but on that day she was abnormally disliked by the person she met for the first time, which made her remember deeply.

Mother Deng even brought out such trivial things, it can be seen that she was fully prepared and premeditated for a long time, and it would be difficult for Concubine Xian to get away!

It's just that she and the imperial concubine don't know how much fire this Madam Deng has set on them.

"Don't like it?" Concubine Xian frowned, "Zhou Cairen looks soft and weak, but she likes to meet the emperor by chance in her palace, no wonder others don't like her! As for the first meeting in this palace I don't like Zhou Cairen, it's too long ago and it's such a trivial matter, my memory is not so good."

"With plausible evidence, but using the body of a slave to frame the concubine, I'm afraid Madam Deng is making a fool of herself!" Concubine Xian said sarcastically.

"Does the concubine Xian like to use power so much to overwhelm people?" Mother Deng did not tangle with the concubine Xian, and said, "Since the concubine Xian suspects that the slave has something to do with it, the slave and the servant simply gave up their lives to prove that they have no plans .”

Mother Deng looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, this servant is willing to die to prove that what I said is true. It is not a pity for this servant to die. I only ask the emperor to make decisions for Zhou Cairen. She must be heard by Zhou Cairen." The big secret!"

After finishing speaking, Mother Deng moved her face, she wanted to bite her tongue and kill herself!

"Stop her!" Concubine Xian's expression changed drastically and she hurriedly stopped her.

If Madam Deng died like this, the sewage splashed on her might not be able to be washed away, and moreover, she might be charged with forcing a witness to death.

The emperor hurriedly asked people to stop him, but blood was already foaming from Madam Deng's mouth, and the eunuch in charge quickly knocked Madam Deng unconscious and gave her acupuncture points!

Soon, the person was taken down for treatment.

Concubine Xian's face is also quite ugly, no matter who encounters such a servant who is desperate to bite you, I'm afraid it will not be in a good mood.

And let the emperor see such a person who proved his words to be true with his death, and he doesn't know what he will think of Concubine Xian in his heart.

Everyone saw the emperor's gaze towards Concubine Xian, full of suspicion.

Concubine Xian opened her mouth, wanting to explain, but the emperor didn't say anything, so she didn't know how to explain.

"The murder of Zhou Cairen will be investigated by Concubine Gui and Concubine Shu, and Eunuch Dai will be an observer." The emperor said.

"Yes" the two Yingchun replied.

Although Concubine Xian understood the emperor's decision, she still felt uncomfortable.

"Imperial Concubine, Concubine Shu, according to Madam Deng, there seems to be some secret in Mr. Zhou Cairen's room, why don't you go and search for it?" Eunuch Dai asked.

Since Eunuch Dai asked, it was obvious that this was what the emperor meant. Yingchun and the noble concubine looked at each other and said, "It should be so!"

At this time, an eunuch reported that an official from the Ministry of Rites had asked to see the emperor, and Yingchun and the three hurriedly left, and they had a chance to speak when they took refuge in the inner palace.

Concubine Gui looked at Concubine Xian and said firmly, "Sister Xianfei, don't worry, with me and Sister Concubine Shu here, as long as you didn't do it, the two of us will never let others frame you."

"Then I would like to thank Sister Guifei and Sister Concubine Shu." Concubine Xian said helplessly.

Under the urging of Eunuch Dai, Yingchun and the noble concubine returned to Shouan Palace. At this time, the side hall where Zhou Cairen lived had been cleaned up. Search Zhou Cairen's house, if there is anything unusual, report it immediately."

Watching the palace people walk into the palace, the noble concubine sighed, with Eunuch Dai present, and the people who searched were from the Internal Prison Department, there are some things that she and Concubine Shu may not be able to do anything about.

Everything was sent to Yingchun, Concubine Gui, and Eunuch Dai for review. Eunuch Dai compared everything with Zhou Cairen's financial statement, and the ones that were suitable and on the register were sent to another place. Or those that are not registered, are brought up separately for re-examination.

After the inspection was completed, the items of unknown origin were checked again. This time, with Zhou Cairen's court lady by his side, they told the origin of the items that were not registered.

"This ruby ​​jade hairpin was given to Cairen by Cairen when he went to Fengzao Palace a few months ago, the Empress...ah no, it was Cui Shi, Cui Shi gave it to Cairen." The maid said.

Because it involved the abolition of the empress, the talented person was afraid of causing some embarrassment, so he didn't register it.

"This silk flower is the silk that Cairen got from the imperial concubine, and Cairen made it himself."

In this palace, even what people eat, what they pass on, and what material their clothes are made of are all fixed, even if it is a piece of fabric, the source can be traced back to the source.

The things were picked out one by one, and the last thing left on the table was a small wooden box. The strangest thing is that the wooden box is made of ordinary rosewood, which is very simple, but when I found this rosewood However, it is extraordinarily hidden, and one can tell the importance of this thing to the owner of the house at a glance.

Eunuch Dai opened the wooden box, and inside were bank notes, about 300 taels.

However, the premonition told everyone that this wooden box was not simple.

Eunuch Dai picked up the box and looked it over carefully. Finally, he measured the space inside the box with his hands, and the space outside the box with his fingers.

Eunuch Dai's actions were so obvious that Yingchun and the others realized that he suspected that there was something else in the wooden box.
