Chapter 32 Seizing Power
Several pieces of clothes were neatly folded on the sandalwood tray, Pei Qing took the silver pole handed over by the eunuch, and lifted one of them.After a while, the silver rod was black a few inches.

Everyone's expression changed slightly, Song Qing'an's reaction was especially strong.She held her heart in her hands, and leaned back as if unable to support herself, her beautiful eyes widened as if she was shocked.

Concubine Chen glanced to the left calmly, then took Song Qing'an's hand to comfort her: "Princess, don't be afraid, this dress should only be poisoned if worn."

When she said that, she immediately drew everyone's attention to Song Qing'an.

Emperor Liang's face was already gloomy after seeing the silver pole turn black, but seeing Song Qing'an's behavior made him even more impatient: "Whatever you do in a flash will not harm you."

"Your Majesty... I have seen these few..."

Song Qing'an's voice seemed to be extremely light because of panic, but at this moment the hall was terribly quiet, and what she said was clearly heard by everyone.

Liu Qiyun's brows twitched slightly, feeling that Song Qing'an couldn't go on talking.Before she could speak, the latter got off the couch by himself and went to look at the wooden trays.

Seeing Song Qing'an's face becoming more and more panic-stricken and mournful, Liu Qiyun's uneasiness became more and more intense.

"His Majesty!"

Song Qingan suddenly knelt down in front of Emperor Liang, and before everyone could react, she said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, I have indeed seen these clothes."

Emperor Liang felt that something was wrong, he frowned tightly, and motioned for Song Qing'an to continue.

"On the day before the snow appreciation feast for the imperial concubine, among the clothes sent by the sewing bureau, there were a few of these..."

"Princess, maybe you remember wrongly?" Liu Qiyun interrupted Song Qing'an with a smile, her phoenix eyes were cold and frosty, "I ordered the sewing bureau to make clothes for Sijin, how could it be the same as the previous princess's?"

Song Qing'an was stunned, and then smiled: "Yes, maybe I remembered it wrong... But I only selected a few pieces that day, and sent the rest back. If those servants made a mistake and sent them back, there are some possible."

"What worries me now is..." She frowned slightly, with tears in her eyes, and wiped her face with a handkerchief in one hand, "If these are really from that batch, then the ones I chose will be Will it also..."

"Could it be that the princess wants to say that this Palace will kill you?"

Liu Qiyun snorted coldly, her whole body was fierce and aggressive.Song Qing'an seemed to be intimidated, shrank in fear, and lowered his head a little.

Jiang Zhi made a sound at the right time to smooth things over: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, the princess should have no such intentions. But I think that what the princess said has some truth, if you don't find out clearly, if the palace people are talkative, the empress won't be able to tell the difference." gone?"

"I'm going to sit upright, there's nothing to be afraid of." Liu Qiyun sneered, "Why bother to take such effort."

Jiang Zhi smiled, and said to Emperor Liang: "Your Majesty, it's not difficult to check. Just ask the sewing bureau for a pair of clothing drawings."

Emperor Liang pondered for a moment, but turned to Pei Qing: "What do you think?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I think it is not difficult to investigate this matter. It is not only to give Xi Ye an explanation, but also to restore the innocence of the imperial concubine and empress."

"Then let's do according to Concubine Chen's wishes." Emperor Liang closed his eyes, looking a little tired, "Go to the Acupuncture Bureau to send someone."

"Yes."

Liu Qiyun's phoenix eyes sank slightly, and she unconsciously clenched her hands on the table.

Song Qing'an was still kneeling there, she had stopped her tears, her eyelashes drooped, but she was very pitiful.

"Get up."

Song Qing'an responded in a low voice, then got up and returned to his seat.

Liu Qiyun couldn't bear to see her fragile appearance, so she simply turned her eyes away, not seeing her as pure.

The palm prints of the needlework bureau came in a hurry, and brought along the eunuchs who made clothes.He was mentally prepared, but when he entered the palace and saw so many nobles in the palace, he still panicked.

"Slave see His Majesty... See Your Majesty..."

The palm print led people to kneel down and salute tremblingly, even if Emperor Liang called out, he would still bow very low.

"Take your clothing drawing and see if it's these."

Pei Qing nodded, and the eunuch holding the wooden plate behind him stepped forward to the handprint of the needlework bureau and others.Wei Wei responded to the palm print, so she had to touch it with her hands.

"By the way," Pei Qing interrupted when there were still a few inches away, "The clothes are poisonous, it's best not to touch them with your hands."

The palm print froze, and he quickly withdrew his hand.Fortunately, they are all old men from the Needle Industry Bureau, even if they don't unfold their clothes, they can tell the difference by looking at them.

The palm print looked at the drawing of the clothes, and then at the clothes, his expression gradually became serious.

Liu Qiyun, who had been paying attention to this place, naturally saw the change in the expression of the palm print, and her heart sank suddenly.

It shouldn't be... Is it really as bad as that little hoof said?
"Report...Report to Your Majesty," the needlework bureau suppressed the fear, "these clothes are indeed from the batch for Princess Zhaoding."

"What nonsense!"

Liu Qiyun sternly reprimanded, and got up quickly: "I ordered Sijin's clothes to be made, how could it be the same as Princess Zhaoding!"

"Your Majesty, please calm down, this matter should be the slave's dereliction of duty."

Pei Qing's feet moved slightly, and she stood in front of Liu Qiyun, with a smirk on her face and a cold air: "The more important thing right now is to check whether there is any problem with the ones that Princess Zhaoding chose."

Liu Qiyun was overwhelmed by the killing intent on Pei Qing's body, she didn't dare to move for a while, in this spare time, some palace servants brought the clothes.

Lu Chuan had been called out from the inner hall, and he tested for poison in front of everyone. Seeing the silver pole that had also turned black, Emperor Liang's face darkened.

Song Qing'an squeezed the handkerchief and covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes were full of water, she seemed shocked and sad, but she was speechless.

But Lu Chuan said: "The poison in it...is the same as Princess Yuhe."

Liu Qiyun knew in her heart that these were clearly two different things, but she couldn't say it out, so she could only swallow it abruptly.

The people from the Needle Industry Bureau had already knelt on the ground, their bodies trembling.

Emperor Liang said in a deep voice, "Who ordered you to make this batch?"

The palm print of the Acupuncture Bureau faltered: "Yes... it is the imperial concubine."

"Noble concubine." There was no joy or anger in Emperor Liang's voice: "I ask you, is it you?"

Liu Qiyun hurriedly knelt down: "Your Majesty, it is indeed my concubine's order to make clothes. But... but how could this concubine murder the princess! Besides, Sijin is still my own sister... Your Majesty, my concubine was framed by someone!"

"Your Majesty," Song Qing'an seemed to have just calmed down, his voice was still a little weak, "I think it's not the imperial concubine or empress.

She quickly glanced at Liu Qiyun, and said: "What reason does the imperial concubine have to kill the two princesses? It must be someone using the empress as a cover to destroy the relationship between Daliang and Xiye."

"The intentions of the person behind it..."

"I implore Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate this matter, to protect the peace of the Liangjiang Mountains, and to restore the innocence of the imperial concubine and empress!"

Jiang Zhi was a little surprised, she never thought that Song Qing'an would make such a move.

She hooked her lips unobtrusively, and knelt down to ask: "I think the princess is right. The imperial concubine has served His Majesty in the palace for many years, how can she have such a vicious heart, someone must be deliberately framed. I beg Your Majesty Thoroughly investigate this matter to ensure the safety of the harem and the stability of the country."

Most of the other concubines were from Jiang Zhi's side, and they also knelt down when they saw this.Liu Qiyun who was at the front secretly gritted her silver teeth, wishing she could rush forward and tear Song Qing'an and Jiang Zhi to pieces.

Emperor Liang looked at it indifferently, and after a long time issued an order: "Pei Qing, investigate this matter thoroughly. The people from the Needle Industry Bureau, you watch and deal with them. If you can't ask anything, you will be killed immediately."

"The imperial concubine... will be banned from now on, Changle Palace, no entry or exit without an edict. The power of the six palaces... will be temporarily handed over to Concubine Chen."

Liu Qiyun took a deep breath, her throat tightened: "Concubine... obey the order."

"Your Majesty Shengming."

Jiang Zhi and the concubines thanked her for her kindness, but all the people from the Needle Industry Bureau knelt down on the ground and did not dare to speak out.

There was chaos in the palace, Emperor Liang didn't want to stay any longer, and took Pei Qing away from Changle Palace.Song Qing'an, Jiang Zhi and others resigned and left one after another.

Liu Qiyun's body softened, and she knelt down on the ground, her eyes were poisoned.
