Chapter 290 Do One Thing
"Your majesty!" Concubine Xian and the others knelt in the court, seeing the emperor's appearance of going towards the queen without hesitation, they immediately became anxious, and concubine Xian was the first to say: "The emperor calms down, all the concubines are here to save the empress." Break into Chengming Palace privately."

Zhao Zongheng's soft eyes suddenly turned a bit cold, he held Si Ningchi's hand tightly and did not let go, turned his head to look at Concubine Xian who was kneeling in front of everyone.

Concubine Xian saw that the emperor was willing to listen to her words, she was determined and continued to say: "Your Majesty, the empress dowager has woken up safely today, and it is all because Master Mingwu performed a Dharma meeting that the empress dowager was expelled." nightmare."

"The matter of the ceremony was personally agreed by the empress, and the concubine and others dare not be the master." Concubine Xian raised her eyes to look at Si Ningchi and continued: "Something strange happened at the ceremony... ..."

"It's absolutely true, Your Majesty! There really are evil spirits in the palace!" Qu Meiren quickly responded.

"It's true, it's scary..." All the concubines kneeling on the ground echoed.

Zhao Zongheng's face also understood the whole picture of the matter following everyone's words, everything seemed so real and effective, the more one listened to the more ugly the expression on Zhao Zongheng's face.

There is a feeling that he has been persuaded.

Concubine Xian was secretly delighted, and she pointed at Si Ningchi and said: "I dare not speak nonsense! The empress's daily life is recorded in the book, and the empress's preferences are very different from before. It seems like a different person. Does the emperor just sit back and ignore such weird things?"

"The empress dowager was murdered by the evil spirits, and she was almost separated from the emperor forever. If you allow the evil spirits to make trouble in the palace, I'm afraid...it will be a catastrophe for Chao Gang!"

"Concubine Xian's intention is to say that I have lost the virtue of a wise monarch by pampering the demon queen?" Zhao Zongheng, who had listened for a long time, finally raised his eyes and looked straight at Concubine Xian.

"The emperor's eyes are like torches, and he will not be deceived by evil spirits. The concubine's trip today is all for the emperor and for the empress!" Concubine Xian bowed down and said: "Please be sure to get rid of the evil spirits, the emperor, so as to strengthen the court!"

Concubine Xian took the lead, and all the people behind her immediately kowtowed.

Zhao Zongheng's eyes darkened again and again, and the court fell into a strange silence for a while.

Si Ningchi rubbed his stomach and looked at Zhao Zongheng. How would Zhao Zongheng react under such a public opinion attack?
It has to be said that Concubine Xian was not unprepared. Those daily records, as well as Si Qionglian's testimony, can be discussed in detail, all of which show the various changes in Si Ningchi.

If the big change in temperament can be explained by the stimulation of the deceased mother, then these completely different changes in clothing preferences and food tastes cannot be explained in one or two sentences, let alone the recipe that Si Ningchi developed inexplicably. Unheard of.

It's not just Zhao Zongheng who thinks this way, how could Suyun, who has been by Si Ningchi's side for so many years, be unaware of it?

Maybe she could comfort herself in the past, her mother-in-law didn't want to recall everything in the Hou Mansion, she was trying to change herself.

Some things, once you think about them, you can't control yourself, even if it's the master and servant who get along day and night, Suyun has to think more, is the empress in front of her the Miss Si family who she grew up serving and growing up?
"It's good for me." Zhao Zongheng squinted his eyes, stood up, looked down at the crowd kneeling on the ground and said, "Come here."

"Put this gang of criminals, those who deceive people with evil words and have ulterior motives, into prison." Zhao Zongheng stood in front of Si Ningchi without any hesitation, raised his chin slightly and said, "Wang Chengxiang."

"Slave, I'm here." Wang Chengxiang who ran into Chengming Palace couldn't even catch his breath. Before he could figure out what happened here, he heard the emperor's call, and hurriedly stepped forward to answer.

"Order the Punishment Department to thoroughly investigate this matter. Why did the Empress Dowager get sick, why did the demon monk enter Beijing, and who was involved in this matter in each palace and courtyard? Let me investigate one by one!"

"The slave obeys the order."

Concubine Xian raised her head and looked at Zhao Zongheng in disbelief, she never thought that the emperor would still protect the empress so much after the matter had come to this.

Obviously, the matter was not solved so smoothly. Perhaps the people who planned this situation had thought of this situation from the very beginning, and when Zhao Zongheng returned to Beijing, what happened in Chengming Palace had already spread to the palace. , into the marketplace.

The story of the demon queen charming the monarch followed.

All the concubines in the harem were imprisoned, and the emperor's move seemed to confirm the image of being charmed by evil spirits.

The imperial court fell into panic, and those accusations that the empress was possessed by evil spirits fell on Zhao Zongheng's dragon case like snowflakes. thing.

Some old things were pulled out and discussed repeatedly. The late Si Muyu, the concubine daughter of the Marquis of Xiwu, was mentioned again. Was her death caused by the queen?
What's more, it is speculated that the queen was possessed by evil spirits and that's why she killed her concubine sister, she was a monster!
For the first time, Zhao Zongheng couldn't control the situation. He didn't dare to order a detailed investigation, and he didn't dare to listen to the words of those courtiers and ask some mage to exorcise the evil spirits. Dongyin.

"Yaoxieyaoxie, I don't know that all the ministers in the court are so leisurely, what are they doing to pay attention to these things that don't exist at all!" Zhao Zongheng flipped through several memorials in succession, and the more he read, the more angry he was. .

"The emperor calm down!" Wang Chengxiang led a group of eunuchs to kneel down in front of the hall in fear.

"Go, King Xuanjing enters the palace." Zhao Zongheng sat beside the dragon table for a long time with his eyebrows folded, and then raised his eyes and said.

Naturally, Gao Hanqi also learned about the various rumors that had spread in the palace recently, and some uneasy factors were swirling in his mind. To be honest, he himself felt a little bit that the empress seemed to have really changed.

The emperor summoned him not to be careless, and when he entered the Xuanming Hall, he saw the emperor sitting on the high seat with a bored expression on his face.

"Sir, see the emperor." Gao Hanqi bowed to salute.

"Sit." Zhao Zongheng raised his hand, pondered for a while before saying: "You must have heard about the queen recently."

"I know, you and the queen have known each other since childhood, and you must also know the origin of the queen's temper." Zhao Zongheng slightly narrowed his eyes and stared at Gao Hanqi and said, "I want you to do something for me."

Gao Hanqi's heart twitched twice when he heard this, he lowered his head and said uncertainly: "Does the emperor want to ask me about the empress's past?"

Zhao Zongheng glanced at him with disgust: "No."

"I want you to play for the empress, and the empress's preferences and habits are the same as usual." Zhao Zongheng said unhurriedly.
