cold palace escape concubine

Chapter 188
The queen has been unable to tolerate Concubine Huan ever since she became the Assistant Concubine of the Sixth Palace. Now that Jun Liuyi has evidence in hand, naturally she will not miss this opportunity.

But on the surface, she still maintains the grace and demeanor that the mother of a country should have.

"I can understand the pain of Concubine Lian's loss of her son, but accusing Concubine Huan like this and alluding to the fact that Concubine Fu had a miscarriage is no small matter. If you don't have evidence, do you know what consequences you will bear?" Mu Xiyuan's tone There is majesty in it.

The queen's words didn't affect Jun Liuyi at all, but she said calmly and calmly: "Don't worry, empress, it's not that the concubines don't know that words and deeds need to be cautious in the harem, and naturally they won't say anything without evidence."

"In that case, where is your evidence?" Mu Xiyuan asked.

"Your Majesty, there is a first-class maid in the palace of concubines, Wei Xia, who I don't know, do you remember?" Jun Liuyi asked the queen, but her eyes stayed at Concubine Huan's place provocatively.

Concubine Huan was shocked when she heard this.

Wasn't Weixia controlled by Gu poison and this mind-bending technique?

Could it be that all of them were solved by Jun Liuyi?
"Empress, everyone knows that Wei Xia is Concubine Lian's confidant, how can her words be trusted?" Concubine Huan hurriedly said.

only……

Jun Liuyi just looked at the queen with a smile, but she saw that the queen was displeased and asked suspiciously: "Concubine Huan, this Concubine Lian has never said anything and you just speculate like this. Is it a guilty conscience or is it trying to cover up?"

"This..." Xie Huan was a little anxious, and secretly worried.

Empress Mu Xiyuan would never draw conclusions so early, and at this moment, the implication was that she was already on Jun Liuyi's side.

It seemed that she was worrying that she would not have a chance to get rid of her, and now she couldn't wait to see Jun Liuyi make a move!

Seeing this, Jun Liuyi continued to say: "Empress, Wei Xia is dead, but the state of her death is terribly bizarre."

"what?"

"died?"

Both the queen and concubine Huan said in surprise, and the other concubines also whispered in surprise.

"Yes, dead." Jun Liuyi's face was solemn, and he also described Weixia's tragic situation before her death.

Hearing the scene she described, many concubines couldn't help feeling sick and vomiting.

Concubine Huan's complexion also became paler and paler with Jun Liuyi's description. She was caught off guard by Weixia's accident, but Jun Liuyi thought her behavior at the moment was hypocritical.

The queen sat there with an ugly face, maintaining her composure and asked, "You said she left evidence before she died?"

"Yes!" Jun Liuyi nodded and glanced at Xia He.

Xia He complied and handed Weixia's letter and the criminal evidence collected one by one.

"There's no proof of death, wouldn't it be too easy for Concubine Lian to frame her?" Concubine Huan watched Xia He's actions, but quickly calmed down and fought back.

Anyway, Weixia is dead, so many things may not be clear.

So what if she did leave evidence?

"I'm afraid Concubine Huan has forgotten, this Weixia is not a court lady who can't read a lot of characters, and I took a fancy to her at the beginning because she knows a lot of knowledge and can read." Jun Liuyi sneered, "My palace~ She and Chunliu are in charge of many accounting matters in the house, even if they go to the House of Internal Affairs to get things, they will be recorded on the record, so the handwriting is naturally preserved, otherwise, the empress can find out whether it is true or not?"

This time, Concubine Huan's face became even more livid.

Looking at Xie Huan's expression, Jun Liuyi secretly concluded that Xie Huan and Weixia didn't know each other well.

If Weixia had been working for Xie Huan for a long time, it is naturally impossible that Xie Huan did not know that she was literate.Then it can be concluded that Xie Huan is just the person on the bright side, and it is not Xie Huan who Wei Xia really listens to!

Xie Huan hastily excused: "The empress, my concubine..."

"Since Concubine Huan is suspected, I will stay in your Hechuan Palace from now on, and I will check it carefully." Mu Xiyuan made a decisive decision and did not give Xie Huan a chance to continue talking.

If Xie Huan was talking more, Mu Xiyuan had already asked someone to send her back to Hechuan Palace.

In the main hall, everyone was unusually silent.

Mu Xiyuan glanced at the people present before she spoke slowly.

"Concubine Lian kept calling for someone to murder her, and the same is true for Concubine Fu now." Mu Xiyuan paused, prolonging her voice on purpose before continuing, "I said before that dirty things are not to be seen in this palace. If Bengong finds out, he won’t let it go. Have you all written it down?”

The majestic voice contained a few threats that could not be refused, and as soon as Mu Xiyuan's words came out, all the concubines responded quickly.

"Concubine Lian, since you are also involved in this matter, in order to make everything clear, I will ask the imperial physician to conduct an autopsy." Mu Xiyuan's face was impartial, "As for the handwriting verification you said, I will ask you to do an autopsy." I will ask someone to verify the handwriting in the future, and you also need to stay in the Lianyun Hall to wait, so don't make any trouble."

"What the empress said is that the concubine naturally understands the principle of avoiding suspicion." Jun Liuyi only replied with a smile, nodded slightly and got up to leave.

Concubine Qi saw that the main people had left, and then she said: "Now I and Xingui's children have to rely on the Queen's protection for their children. I'm afraid the Emperor will be heartbroken if there are successive heirs."

Concubine Qi's words revealed her concern for Sikong Qimo, but Nalan Xinli answered the words.

"I'm afraid that the emperor will blame Liugong, and people will panic again under the anger." Nalan Xinli also looked worried, "This really needs to be done by the mastermind behind the scenes."

The words of these two people who can't be beaten and scolded now are naturally harmless, and they are the only ones who are not affected by the emperor's blame.

However, what made the queen even more troublesome was the feeling of the emperor after these frequent accidents.

No matter how angry the emperor is, as the empress, she is the first to bear the brunt!
"This palace will naturally arrest this person. You don't need to think too much, let's all go away." Mu Xiyuan was not in the mood to chat with them and dismissed everyone, but Concubine Qi still stayed behind.

Seeing that everyone had dispersed, she said worriedly: "Cousin, will the emperor blame you?"

"You thought of that too?" Mu Xiyuan asked with a frown.

Zhong Qi nodded again and again and said: "At first, I only thought that the emperor would feel uncomfortable, but it was only after my concubine Xinxin said that that I realized that the only one who bears the brunt of the anger is you, cousin."

"But the emperor's anger depends on two points, both of which are fatal." Mu Xiyuan sighed, "It would be best if everything was done by Concubine Huan, because Concubine Lian will naturally not give up and want to do it for her children." revenge."

"Isn't this just the result we want?" Concubine Qi asked expectantly, but the queen shook her head heavily.

"Concubine Qi, your thinking is still too short-sighted." Mu Xiyuan smiled wryly, "Concubine Huan is no better than Concubine Qi, how could it be so easy to fall!"

Concubine Qi frowned when she heard the words, and after thinking for a while, she slowly shook her head and asked, "Isn't Concubine Lian contributing to this?"
