After the replacement of the delicate imperial concubine, my emperor will never come to court again

Concubine Shu shook her fan and said with a smile: "I don't believe that a cautious person like Imperial Doctor Jiang would do such an imprudent thing, and your Majesty must not believe it either, right?"

After hearing Concubine Shu's words, Concubine Li looked up and saw Concubine Shu looking at her with an expectant smile. She immediately knew that Concubine Shu was not the mastermind behind the scenes, so she told the truth.

"Your Majesty does not seem to believe it. Although he has never said it out loud, I think your Majesty is not relieved. As for whether he will continue the investigation, I don't know."

Concubine Shu chuckled and kept shaking her fan: "You don't understand His Majesty yet, His Majesty will definitely investigate further."

Li Bin hummed, not wanting to get involved in such dirty things in the harem.

Concubine Shu saw that Li Concubine was not interesting, and she also eliminated Li Concubine's suspicion in her mind.

After thinking about it, Concubine Shu turned her head and looked around and said with a soft smile: "There is a saying circulating in the palace now that they are trying the concubine's work!"

Libi heard this, and although she had a plan in mind, she still had no interest and said perfunctorily: "Really?"

Concubine Shu thought she was sick and lacked energy, so she could only say: "Okay, I'm going back to find chestnuts. Sister, you can go back to the palace to rest after a while."

Concubine Li thanked her and sent Concubine Shu away and continued walking forward.

Without Concubine Shu holding her back, Concubine Li walked faster.

He saw a figure walking not far ahead, and recognized it as Guiren Xue. He turned his head and glanced at the low wall beside the road, knowing that Guiren Xue had listened to what he had just said to Concubine Shu.

Seeing that she left in such a hurry, she probably went to report it to the imperial concubine, right?

Libi felt that it was very boring, so she walked out of the imperial garden and told the old nanny: "How about we go somewhere else?"

Besides the Imperial Garden, there are several other places you can go, especially along the Palace Canal. The scenery is good and there are not many people in some places.

Li Bin and her group walked over there.

There were many fallen leaves falling in the water of Gong Canal, swirling in the water, and finally accumulated at the gate of Gong Canal.

Libi looked at the leaves and felt something. She just walked forward along the palace canal, but found that although the leaves seemed to be able to leave the palace city through the palace canal, they were still blocked by the gate.

I was staring at the fallen leaves in the palace canal in a daze, when suddenly the palace maid next to me exclaimed: "Your Majesty! There seems to be someone in there!"

Li Bin heard this strangely and stared at the place where the palace maid was pointing. Sure enough, her helping hand was buried in the pile of leaves.

"Go and have a look!"

The palace servants beside Li Bin immediately slid down the slope and approached the gate.

The old nanny held Li's hand away from the palace canal: "My queen, don't look at it, it's unlucky!"

Li Bin already thought of Chu Cairen who fell into the water before, and her heart was pounding.

It is said that water ghosts cannot be reincarnated and must capture a scapegoat to escape.

I wonder if Chu Cairen’s soul is there...

Several palace people went down and used branches to push aside the piled leaves, and sure enough they saw a corpse!

"Empress, find a palace maid!"

Li Bin covered her lips with her hands and turned sideways, not daring to look.

Soon Shen Yanzhi came with his guards. Li Bin sat on a tree stump in the distance and waited. Seeing that Ren Yuhuan was also following the team, she stood up to greet her.

"what happened?"

Shen Yanzhi first asked the palace attendant on the side, then turned around and saw that Li Bin's face looked strange, and immediately asked: "Are you okay?"

Concubine Li shook her head: "Some palace servants recognized this maid just now. I heard that she is the maid Su Rou in the Queen Mother's palace."

Su Rou was one of the Queen Mother's personal maids, how could she die in the palace canal?

Several guards went over to see the body fished out and placed on a stretcher. Everyone recognized it and said it was Su Rou.

Ren Yuhuan groped quietly and got in front of the stretcher to look at the body.

Ren Yuhuan had indeed seen this palace maid beside the Queen Mother.

Surou is about thirty years old. She is already a senior maid in the palace and should be able to leave the palace.

When Shen Yanzhi saw Ren Yuhuan going down, he immediately left Li Bin and walked over. After taking a look at the corpse, Shen Yanzhi also recognized Su Rou.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Aunt Surou will be able to leave the palace in the second half of the year. There is no reason for her to die in the palace canals!"

Wang Lian avoided looking at Su Rou's body while talking to Shen Yanzhi.

Ren Yuhuan listened to Dr. Jiang's explanation and thought that this palace maid should be the palace maid who handed over the poison to palace lord Renshun.

But she still didn't understand why the aunt in the Queen Mother's palace was involved.

Shen Yanzhi frowned slightly: "Let the Criminal Department conduct an autopsy."

When the guards heard about it, they immediately carried the body and left.

Ren Yuhuan continued to slide down the slope to see where the body was.

Shen Yanzhi was worried and immediately followed him, reaching out to hold Ren Yuhuan to prevent her from slipping.

Li Bin didn't want to watch this scene anymore, turned around and ordered her men to follow her and leave.

And Li Bin left, and Shen Yanzhi didn't know it at all.

Wang Lian stumbled on the shore and had to shout: "Your Majesty, it's dangerous! Let me see it!"

He was about to go down, but his foot slipped and he slid directly down the slope. Below was the Gong Canal. If he didn't stop, he would fall into the Gong Canal!

Fortunately, a guard with quick eyesight and quick hands caught him in time.

Wang Lian screamed in fright and was still shaking after being rescued.

Shen Yanzhi said to Wang Lian: "Go up and wait."

Several guards followed Shen Yanzhi down, and the group began to pick at the fallen leaves at the gate.

Wang Lian really didn't dare to participate anymore, so he obeyed and held his apprentice's hand.

Among the fallen leaves, the guard found a jade pendant.

The jade pendant looked quite expensive. After picking it up, Ren Yuhuan wrapped it in his own handkerchief.

After the water dries a little, unfold it and bring it to Shen Yanzhi.

Shen Yanzhi looked at it and said, "I seem to have seen this piece of jade before."

Ren Yuhuan saw the jade pendant being delivered, and walked up with Shen Yanzhi's support.

The guards were guarding the two people, and Wang Lian finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw them coming up.

"Your Majesty, you see your clothes are all wet, go back and change quickly!"

Shen Yanzhi saw that most of Ren Yuhuan's skirt was wet, and immediately said, "You go back with me to change, and just leave it to the people from the Criminal Department!"

Ren Yuhuan still didn't want to leave. This palace maid was very important, and she wanted to stay here until the end.

But before she agreed, Shen Yanzhi had already pulled her up together.

Ren Yuhuan looked back three times and found that no other useful things seemed to be salvaged later.

Back in the imperial study, Ren Yuhuan followed the palace maid to another room to change clothes, still thinking about who handled this palace maid.

Was it the Queen Mother or Xue Guiren who handled it?

Does Dr. Jiang know?

If he didn't know, would he go to Xue Guiren and want to help her?

Ren Yuhuan was worried and slowly changed his clothes and came out. When he saw Shen Yanzhi standing outside the door of the dressing room, he waited for her to come out and said, "You all go down, I have something to ask Ren Yuhuan."

The maids immediately went down and Shen Yanzhi entered the room.

Ren Yuhuan felt worried, so he could only follow in and close the door.

"You seem to be very interested in this matter?"

Ren Yuhuan was not sure what Shen Yanzhi meant. Who was he caring about?
