Eight-year-old Princess: Phoenix Reborn

Before Xia Huanyu could speak, the queen had already spoken, "Concubine Xianggui, is this Pearl from your palace?"

Hearing the words, Ning Qian turned her eyes slowly, and looked at the shivering court lady kneeling on the ground, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, "There is nothing wrong with wanting to commit a crime, this court lady is naturally a member of the concubine's palace. Eunuch Liu also said that he is the maid who cleans the concubine's palace. However, the concubine doesn't know why she wanted to harm Princess Qianling."

The queen also smiled coldly when she heard the words, "Concubine Xianggui, do you mean that I have wronged you? Or do you think that this court lady will go to poison Princess Qianling without instructions?"

Xia Huanyu frowned, but didn't speak. Logically speaking, he shouldn't be involved in the matter of the harem, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't know anything.

Hearing this, Ning Qian frowned slightly, "My concubine also wants to know, how can someone manage such a lively and lovely child." Then she turned her eyes to Zhu'er who was kneeling on the ground, " The concubine is a little curious, where did Zhuer get that poisonous poisonous powder? It stands to reason that a court lady cannot get that kind of thing, and the expenses in the Xiangzhu Palace are all issued by the Internal Affairs Bureau Yes, the concubine has no relatives outside the palace, so apart from the reward from the emperor and the gift from the Internal Affairs Bureau, there is no other extra thing. The empress and the emperor can also go and check, the people in the concubine palace How long has it been since I left the palace?"

As she said that, Ning Qian paused, her eyes fell on the queen, and she turned away lightly.

The queen snorted coldly, "Of course you won't let the people in your palace get caught."

Hearing this, Ning Qian laughed again, "What the empress said is very true." Then, she took out a pair of earrings and a silver ingot from her sleeve, "The concubine found out a few days ago that Xiangzhu The people in the palace seem to have a good relationship with other people in the palace. Unfortunately, the earrings and the silver were found on Pearl. The concubine also said that all the expenses in the concubine palace are , all came from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but this thing is definitely not from the Xiangzhu Palace. The concubine does not know where this thing is, and why it is on Zhu'er, but someone asked Zhu'er to do something? Zhuer , tell me, where did this thing come from?"

Zhu'er trembled all over, raised her eyes to look at the queen several times, and then hurriedly said, "Your servant said, I will say everything, it's Yanu, these things are given to you by Yanu, and the poisonous poison The powder was also given by Yanu. Yanu also said that as long as this matter is done for the Empress, there will be opportunities for slaves to become prosperous in the future."

"Nonsense, how can I let people do such a disastrous thing?" The queen's eyes flickered slightly when they fell on the pair of earrings and silver in Ning Qian's hands, "Besides, these two little things are also It’s not something in my palace. It’s just something used by slaves, so what’s so strange about sending it around? It can’t be used as evidence.”

"Things for slaves?" Ning smiled slightly, "The empress does not know that the slaves in the concubine hall, even first-class maids, can only pay two taels of silver per month. This earring is made of opal. This silver is a full one hundred taels, all of which have the seal of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the slaves around concubines must not be able to afford such good things."

"Maybe it was rewarded by the master?" The queen frowned, and her eyes gradually became impatient.

"Master rewarded it?" Ning Qian lowered her head and played with the earrings, "If master rewarded it, which servant is so bold as to give it away casually? Why don't you invite the eunuch from the House of Internal Affairs to ask about it? Ask, don’t you know?”

Seeing the queen's hand clenched into a fist in the sleeve, Yun Shang guessed the matter thoroughly in her heart. It should be given by the palace maid named Yanu next to the queen. Yanu is the queen's dresser. If you behave well, it is quite normal for the queen to reward you with some things. As for the poisonous poison powder, I am afraid that Yanu sent it to Zhu'er, but it is hard to say whether Yanu did this, whether it was the Queen's signal or something else.

"Let's tell the Chief of the House of Internal Affairs to come." Xia Huanyu glanced at the women with different expressions in the hall, his eyes darkened.

After a while, the Chief of the House of Internal Affairs was brought in, Ning Qian smiled slightly, and handed the earrings and silver to the Chief of the House of Internal Affairs, "Please, Chief Deng, take a look, which palace were these two things sent to? "

The head of the House of Internal Affairs responded, took the things over, took a booklet from the hand of the eunuch at the side, flipped through it for a while, and then replied, "Returning to the concubine Xianggui, this opal earring and this silver are both It was sent to Mrs. Meigui three months ago."

"Your Majesty with the Eyebrows?" The queen's mouth curled up, and she turned her eyes to look at Xia Huanyu, "Your Majesty, this Majesty with the Eyebrows..."

Xia Huanyu turned the jade finger in his hand, and when he heard the queen's question, he turned around to look at the queen, and said expressionlessly, "It's better to ask, why does your maid of honor have something from the palace of the nobleman? Yes."

The queen fell silent, and seeing Xia Huanyu's expression was a bit unfriendly, she quickly responded, "Yes, the concubine has no way to control her, and it is really the concubine's fault that she was taken into such a big trap in Weiyang Palace. .”

After speaking, he asked the servant to bring Yanu to Weiyang Palace.

It's just that the servant did not bring Yanu over, "Report to the emperor and empress, Yanu hanged himself in the house. The slave found a letter in the house, please look at the emperor and empress." The letter was presented to Xia Huanyu.

Xia Huanyu took it over to look at it, frowned, and handed it to the queen. The queen quickly took it over and looked at it carefully, then frowned and said, "Yanu left a last letter, saying that Meigui ordered her to do this. It said in the letter that Meigui was from her hometown, and people sent her Her younger brothers and sisters were arrested and threatened to force her to do this heinous thing. She originally thought that after the completion, Meigui would let her younger brothers and sisters go, but she heard that Meigui had already entered the cold palace, and knew this There is no way I can keep the matter hidden, so I chose to hang myself."

After a moment of silence in the room, Yun Chang saw a sneer on the corner of Ning Qian's mouth, and knew that the nobleman was probably just a scapegoat.

Xia Huanyu had already stood up, "Issue the order to take the title of nobleman Mei, and punish him in the name of murdering the emperor." After speaking, he stood up and walked to the inner hall, "Let's leave it at that, you all retreat first Let's get off, it's noisy, Qian Ling still needs to be recuperated."

Everyone quickly responded, the queen watched Xia Huanyu enter the inner hall, and then stood up, her eyes fixed on Ning Qian for a moment, and then fell on Yunshang, her smile was very graceful, "Xianggui Concubine and Princess Rui I have suffered today, and the nobleman Meimei is too vicious, not to mention murdering Qianling, but also trying to put the blame on the two of you, it is an unforgivable crime. You have been wronged today, you should go back and rest earlier .”

Both Yunshang and Ning Qian stood up and saluted. They watched the queen leave the Yunqi Palace, and then looked at each other, and then slowly looked away. Ning Qian took the lead and walked out with the palace people.

"Let's go back to the residence too." Yun Shang said indifferently, and left Yunqi Palace with a shallow voice.

As soon as he left the palace, he ran into a fairly familiar person at the gate of the palace.

"I've seen the princess." Liu Yinfeng was wearing a green dress, his eyes fell on Yunshang, and he sized it up carefully, but when he saw the cloth strips wrapped around Yunshang's arms, his brows frowned, and he hurriedly said Cai said, "Wangfei just came out of the palace?"

Yun Chang nodded.

"I heard that Princess Qianling was poisoned, but the princess was implicated?" Liu Yinfeng's eyes never left Yun Shang's injured hand, but the question was a bit abrupt, which made Yun Shang slightly stunned, but she didn't know How to answer.

Although Liu Yinfeng is Xia Guo's military adviser, he is highly respected in the army, but he does not have a real position in the court, but has always had a good relationship with Xia Huanyu, and several of the princes have been taught by Liu Yinfeng, Although there is no position, no one dares to neglect it.

Although Liu Yinfeng once said that he was only from Xia Huanyu, Yun Shang didn't know whether he should believe it or not.

It can be seen that what he asked just now, I don't know what position he is asking. You know, this is still at the gate of the palace. If Yunshang's answer is slightly wrong, I am afraid that it will soon spread to the ears of all the masters in the palace. .

Yun Shang was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "Young Master Liu was joking, the princess had been to Prince Rui's mansion yesterday, and now she has been poisoned, so I am naturally suspicious. It's implicated. It's just that now the truth has been revealed, the real culprit has been caught, and the princess's body is no longer harmed, it can be regarded as the best result."

Liu Yinfeng also seemed to realize that there was something wrong with his question just now, he was slightly taken aback, then gave a wry smile and nodded, "That's good."

Yun Chang smiled slightly, "Mr. Liu has something to do with entering the palace, then I won't bother you any more, and I will leave."

Liu Yinfeng nodded, watched Yun Shang walk to the carriage and got on the carriage, then turned his eyes to look at the long steps inside the palace gate, but didn't take a step, after a long time, he turned around and walked outside the palace.

"Young Master..." The book boy behind him looked at Liu Yinfeng's expression carefully, and said softly, "Young Master just heard that Princess Qianling was poisoned and hurried over, why didn't you enter the palace?"

Liu Yinfeng's footsteps paused slightly, and after a long silence, he replied softly, "Hasn't Princess Rui already said that? The real culprit has been caught, and Princess Qianling is fine. What? I'm not a doctor."

The book boy quickly nodded in response, "Yes, yes." What he was thinking in his heart was that the young master and Princess Qianling had only met a few times, and he was not even familiar with him. Why did he hear that Princess Qianling had been poisoned earlier? There was no reaction at the time, but after learning about the situation in detail, he suddenly changed his color, and rushed towards the palace in a hurry. Now he has not even entered the palace gate, so he wants to go back again. The young master's thoughts are really shocking. People can't understand more and more. \u003c
