Your Majesty, please come quickly

Chapter 23
"Li Yan? She is just a manager in the Clothes Bureau. If she offends her sister in any way, she can be arrested and questioned directly. Why bother?"

"If this is the case, I have no time to pay attention to it, and I must have been dismissed early. But this Li Yan is probably more than just a small steward." Concubine Qi Shu's half-smile, which was meaningful.

"Oh? Could it be that she has other backgrounds?" Concubine Ruo also became interested. This was the first time she saw a servant who could make the woman in front of her work so hard.

"Sister entered the palace late, some things may not be very clear. Back then." Concubine Qi Shu told Concubine Ruo about the Queen, Hongyan and Nanny Li in detail, "Do you understand now?"

"Could it be, she knows." Concubine Ruo trembled with the hand holding the teacup, almost splashing the tea on her clothes.

Although she didn't say it clearly, she can be sure that Concubine Qi Shu is planning to bring up the Queen's matter again.No one in the palace knew that Empress Ye was a taboo in the palace, and no one dared to mention her matter lightly.

"Although I'm not sure, I have about seven levels of certainty."

"Only seven floors?" Concubine Ruo showed hesitation, for a life-threatening matter, seven floors might not be enough.

"Yes, there are only seven floors." Concubine Qi Shu narrowed her phoenix eyes and her face became solemn, "So I need my sister to do me another favor. If it is done, it will add two layers of confidence."

"Oh? That's the ninth floor." Concubine Ruo couldn't help but feel a little moved by this number.But after thinking about it, she realized, "I'm afraid it's not an easy task to stump my sister?"

Concubine Qi Shu didn't make any detours, and simply said, "I need you to go to Yelan Palace and find an eunuch named Zhuo Lin. My people are being watched closely by Feng Jieyu, and it is inconvenient to go in and out of the cold palace. But sister, you are different. , to visit my cousin, I guess no one else can make a mistake."

"Who is this Zhuo Lin? My sister wants me to go there myself?" Concubine Ruo was stunned, she had never heard of this name.

"It was Hongyan's concubine before he was alive. He pushed Hongyan into the lake and drowned him." Concubine Qi Shu's eyes were long, and the events of that year were still lingering in her mind. I don't believe that he accidentally pushed Hongyan into the lake. But he went crazy shortly after pleading guilty, and there is no way to investigate the matter. It was the emperor's birthday banquet at that time, so it was not appropriate to kill more, and because he was already crazy, Send him to Yelan Palace and let him fend for himself."

"Maybe you think he's lucky, but don't you think it's all too coincidental? After the empress died in childbirth, the maid who followed her closely died, and then the maid's concubine went crazy, and the person who was favored by her entered Huanyi bureau." Concubine Qi Shu opened her red lips slightly, and blew lightly, the hot air in the teacup drifted away, like smoke, like mist, like a dream.

"It's indeed a coincidence, sister, don't worry, I will definitely check it out, even if it is a lunatic, there are ways to get him to talk." A woman who can sit firmly on the concubine's position is not stupid. the meaning of.

Hearing Concubine Ruo's assurance, Concubine Qi Shu couldn't help smiling, "My sister is so confident, I feel at ease."

The night swallowed up the last gleam of twilight, and even the moon was buried in the thick layer of clouds, never revealing its white brilliance.

The Yelan Palace is located in a remote area and has been in disrepair for a long time. A desolate and desolate atmosphere blows over the face, which makes people feel chills.The dilapidated houses without light made a "whoop" sound in the evening wind, as if they were telling tragic stories one after another.
