Queen's scheming

Chapter 23 Lanxiang San ([-])

"What happened?" Shen Qingyi asked after sitting on the armchair.

Yu Zhu was crying and crying at the side, unable to utter a coherent sentence for a long time.

Shen Qingyi frowned, looked at Yuhe and said, "You tell me."

Yuhe said with a sullen head, "My lady, not long after you left the palace, Concubine Xue's Zhaoyang Palace found a tassel hairpin with gold threads and plum blossom pincers emerald beads missing, because it was a gift from the previous empress and it is very precious. Concubine Xuegui then ordered people to thoroughly investigate the palace occupants of Zhaoyang Palace and those who had been to Zhaoyang Palace in other palaces in the past two days. Finally, they were found in Yulan's room. Concubine Xuegui took Yulan to Zhaoyang Palace. Yang Palace..." Yuhe paused, glanced at Shen Qingyi, and continued, "Just now Zhang Yang secretly went to inquire, and Concubine Xuegui killed Yulan stick."

"Stick death?" Shen Qingyi said angrily, "This palace is not in the palace, and the noble concubine Duanjing is in charge of the sixth palace. Is it the noble concubine Duanjing who ordered to kill my first-class maid in charge of Ningsu Palace for a tassel hairpin stick?"

Yu He shook her head and said, "After Yu Lan was taken away, the slaves also wanted to ask Concubine Duanjing for help, and only after going to Qinzhu Palace did they find out that Concubine Duanjing, together with the Empress Dowager, returned to Fuguo Duke's Mansion to visit her relatives today."

Shen Qingyi immediately swept the teacup on the little table to the ground, and said angrily, "So, the Empress Dowager is not in the palace, the palace is not in the palace, and the noble concubine Duanjing is not in the palace. maid of honor?"

"Your Majesty, calm down. According to the palace rules, you and Concubine Duanjing are not in the palace. Only Concubine Xuegui is the third-rank master. She is qualified to dispose of a court lady." Seeing Shen Qingyi getting angry, Madam Su was afraid that she would He lost his sense of proportion as before, and hurriedly said.

Yu He did not expect that Shen Qingyi would be so angry because of a maid in the palace. After lamenting the empress's emphasis on friendship, she thought to herself, "Your Majesty, don't be impatient. The most important thing now is to investigate the matter clearly."

Shen Qingyi was silent for a moment, trying to calm herself down.After she was reborn, she had clearly arranged a way out for everyone around her. Yulan is a good-natured person, and she can follow Madam Su out of the palace immediately. In the future, she will find a man who loves her, who will help her husband and teach her children, and live a peaceful life .Why was he killed by the stick? In his previous life, Yulan was the one who accompanied him to the end. Why did he say that he died when he died.

Shen Qingyi took a deep breath, watched Yuhe put away the broken teacups on the gold and stone bricks one by one, and said coldly, "When did Yulan go to Zhaoyang Palace?"

"It was yesterday!" Yu Lian thought for a while and said, "Yesterday you rewarded Shen Ronghua and Concubine Xue Gui with two horses. It was Yu Lan who sent them to Zhaoyang Palace."

"Did Yulan feel strange when she came back?" Shen Qingyi asked Yuzhu.Yulan and Yuzhu lived in the same room, if Yulan really took the tassel hairpin, Yuzhu would know about it.

Yu Zhu was still choking with sobs, and said intermittently, "No, Yulan was very happy when she came back yesterday. It is said that Yumei has thought through these days and started to work beside Shen Ronghua again. In the future, the four slaves, maidservants and sisters will still be in charge Maid, everything will be fine."

Shen Qingyi was silent, Yulan and Yuzhu had always had pure thoughts, they just served her side by side and acted peacefully as maids in charge.The life she wanted was so simple, but because she was Shen Qingyi's first-class court lady, she suffered misfortune.

Shen Qingyi suddenly couldn't calm down, and said sharply, "Chuan Xuegui."

When Concubine Xuegui appeared in Ningsu Palace, Shen Qingyi was still entangled, if after her rebirth, she did not deliberately choose Tang Aoxue into the palace for the purpose of blackmailing Shen Qingwan, then would Yulan be like her previous life, always be in love with her? alive
"The concubine pays her respects to the empress, and the empress is a thousand years old." The concubine Xuegui greeted her coldly.

Shen Qingyi's thoughts were interrupted by Concubine Xue, she stared at Concubine Xue, as if she wanted to see through her.Concubine Xuegui was wearing a moon-white palace dress with wide sleeves and embroidered red plum blossoms, and she was looking at Shen Qingyi with a somewhat absent-minded expression at the moment.

Concubine Xuegui saw that Shen Qingyi hadn't spoken for a while, so she said bluntly, "The concubine knows the purpose of the empress's concubine summoning. That's right, the maid Yulan in Ningsu Palace was indeed killed by the concubine. This bold The servant girl dared to covet the tassel hairpin that the former empress gave to the concubines, such a lowly servant girl would not regret the death."

"What evidence do you have?" Shen Qingyi originally admired Concubine Xue's arrogance, but at this moment she hated Concubine Xue very much. This kind of arrogant eldest lady, who considers herself cold and aloof, seems like a fairy who is not stained by the dust of the world, but She regards human life as worthless, no matter how precious the gold hairpin is, it is still a dead thing, but she killed him without batting an eyelid.At this moment, the answer seems to be a matter of course.

Concubine Xue Gui frowned slightly, but she was just a court lady, the empress lost her sense of propriety, it was really out of everyone's demeanor, compared to her own sister, she was far behind.No wonder my father said that Shen Qingyi was just an embroidered pillow, and the emperor just liked her face, after staying for a few years, her looks faded and her love relaxed, then the queen would belong to her.

Thinking of this, Concubine Xue Gui became even more proud, and said, "That tassel hairpin was dug out from her jewelry box, isn't that considered proof? Could it be that the empress is still saying that you gave her the hairpin as a reward?" No, the eight emerald beads clamped on the tassel hairpin are the size of a thumb, and they are all round, and it is difficult to find exactly the same in the world." Xuegui once heard Tang Zihan say that Shen Qingyi favored the maid beside her. At that time, I still thought it was unbelievable. After being a country, the master is the master, and the servant is the servant. How can you lie for a slave?

"Yulan won't do such a thing." Shen Qingyi stared at Concubine Xue Gui and said firmly.

Concubine Xuegui shook her head almost invisibly, she really couldn't accept that such a woman turned out to be a queen, and a woman like her should be worthy of that seat, Concubine Xuegui didn't want to be with the irrational Shen Qingyi continued the conversation, and said coldly, "The evidence of the crime is convincing, and the things were found in her place, and she can't argue with it. Besides, everyone has already been killed, so what's the point of the empress pestering these things anymore. She's just a servant girl, The big deal is that the concubine should pay the empress two. If the empress thinks that the concubine can't deal with a slave girl, she can tell the matter to the majesty and ask the majesty to make a ruling. If the empress has nothing else to do, the concubine will leave first." Concubine Xue Gui Blessed the body, swaggered away.

Shen Qingyi couldn't say a word, yes, everyone has already gone.She didn't know whether she was hating Concubine Xuegui, or hating herself for bringing Concubine Xuegui into the harem.

Su Momo looked at Shen Qingyi who was in a daze, shook her head lightly, stepped forward and replied, "Mother, Yumei asked to see her, she said she has something to report."

Shen Qingyi turned her head lightly, her mind gradually cleared up, yes, Yuzhu said, Yulan had seen Yumei yesterday, maybe Yumei knew something, "Quickly pass it on!"

　I'm here waiting for Piao Piao to come. Move the small bench and wait.
