Chapter 167 Who did it?

"Of course!" Xu Lanshan smiled, her eyes full of smiles.

That night, Emperor Yuan Yong simply stayed in Lianyi Palace.

The night passed peacefully and both of them slept well. Emperor Yuan Yong was also relieved that it would not interfere with the dragon heir, which was good.

While he was attending court, Xu Lanshan closed her eyes and summoned the palace fighting system, complaining angrily, "What should I do? Will missions be issued during pregnancy? Can we discuss this?"

The system said weakly: "This... doesn't seem to work!"

"You're a jerk!"

"Don't worry, dear! Even if there is a mission, I will definitely be able to complete it. You can't cheat anyone else but you!"

"hehe!"

"Honey, trust me!"

Xu Lanshan didn't want to pay any more attention to it. She remembered that the reward it had given her before included two pregnancy-preserving pills, and that her body was much better after its conditioning and blessing...

Forget it, forget it, I won’t bother with it!

Xiao Fuzi went out for a walk and brought back some big news for Xu Lanshan: "...The interrogation results from the Ministry of Punishment showed that Concubine Deng was so audacious that she drugged the Emperor. Now she has been demoted to a commoner and banished to the cold palace, with no chance of pardon. The Deng family was implicated by Concubine Deng and was dismissed from office and exiled. They will leave today and will also have no chance of pardon. I heard that the Emperor suspected that Concubine Deng was behind this and ordered the Ministry of Punishment to continue the investigation. Who knew that the Ministry of Punishment didn't see it right, and Concubine Deng committed suicide in the dark..."

Xu Lanshan exclaimed softly and sighed, "It turned out to be like this. I really, really didn't expect it!"

Although Concubine Deng was quite annoying, Xu Lanshan didn't believe that she would be so bold. The emperor's suspicion seemed to be correct, but as for the person behind the scenes, it was difficult to confirm it all at once?

The biggest suspect would be Concubine Lian, followed by Concubine Yu. Even Concubine Lin or the Empress might be possible candidates.

Thinking about how confused she was, she really didn't understand.

She glanced at Xiao Fuzi and said, "Go ahead and find out what the emperor did and how he reacted to Concubine Deng's suicide."

"Yes, my lady!"

In the afternoon, Xiao Fuzi came to report again, "The emperor is furious. The Deng family was originally exiled two thousand miles, but now it's been reduced to four thousand miles. Their descendants for five generations will not be allowed to take the imperial examinations. This Deng family is completely finished! Concubine Deng is really stupid!"

The Emperor wanted to punish her, but she had dared to commit suicide. The Emperor was so furious he couldn't vent his anger, so what else could he do but vent it on her family? Could the Emperor possibly be holding it in himself? Exiled four thousand miles, it's hard to say how many people would survive.

It is a remote and barren place with hard life. After five generations, they have become ordinary people. How could they have any background as an official family?

Even worse, I'm afraid there might not be any descendants left...

Xu Lanshan sighed softly, but thought in her heart that Concubine Deng might not have committed suicide, but perhaps someone did not want her to continue living.

"What else? Is the Emperor furious?"

Xiao Fuzi nodded hurriedly. "The Emperor wasn't furious. He went out to relax and happened to run into Concubine Lian. Concubine Lian came to accompany him, and I don't know what she did wrong to anger the Emperor. He scolded her, punished her by making her kneel in the Imperial Garden for an hour, and even demoted her to Concubine Lian..."

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. This, this emperor really didn't like Concubine Lian! He punished her without mercy.

Xu Lanshan, however, had other plans in mind. She ordered Xiao Fuzi to leave and instructed, "I'm pregnant, and the Emperor values ​​me. Our Lianyi Palace has also prospered. You all should be more careful when you go out. Don't act recklessly, bully others, or take advantage of others and accept their kindness. You must know that there is no free banquet in the world. If someone gives you something, they must want more from you! There are even some people who are deliberately plotting against you at the behest of their masters! And then targeting me! In short, although things are going well now, you must be more cautious and careful, understand? Otherwise, don't blame me for killing my relatives for the sake of justice! The Emperor will protect me, but he may not protect you!"

Xiao Fuzi, Yuchan and the others were so shocked by this that they broke into a cold sweat and quickly responded respectfully. Nanny Guan also stepped forward to greet them, saying, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will take good care of them and won't let you worry about this anymore."

Xu Lanshan nodded happily and said with a smile: "Madam, you are always prudent and thorough. With your words, I feel relieved!"

Waving her hand to dismiss everyone, Xu Lanshan leaned on the couch in deep thought, and suddenly sneered. She was certain in her heart that the emperor would not punish Concubine Lian like this just because he was angry. Hadn't Concubine Lian done enough stupid things in the past?

There are things that are more serious than anger, but the emperor is not like that.

She was certain that Lian Jieyu must have been involved in Concubine Deng's affairs? Or even that Lian Jieyu was the mastermind!

She killed Concubine Deng to silence her, leaving no evidence. How could the emperor suffer such a loss?

The case of Concubine Deng could not be retried. The emperor was angry and naturally sought redress in other ways.

If he wants to find an excuse to punish the concubines, wouldn’t that be easy?

He is the emperor, he can do whatever he wants and say whatever he wants. Can the concubines in the harem still question him?

Can you still reason with him? The Empress Dowager will definitely be furious about Concubine Lian's matter. I think she has already asked the Emperor to speak.

However, if the emperor expressed his suspicions about Concubine Deng, even if there was no 100% evidence, the empress dowager would still be speechless.

It depends on whether this situation will change tomorrow.

That evening, Emperor Yuan Yong visited Lianyi Palace again and stayed overnight.

All the concubines in the harem were feeling uncomfortable due to the panic.

Even after such a thing happened, the emperor still had the mind to favor Concubine Chen. It's really - what can I say!

Didn't Concubine Chen summon the imperial physician yesterday? I wonder if she's ill. It would be great if it's a serious illness!

Nanny Yan of Fengwu Palace was also advising the Empress: "Noble Concubine Chen is so ungrateful! She just summoned the imperial physician, and we don't even know what the illness is, yet she still wants to keep the Emperor overnight? What if the illness spreads to the Emperor?! When she pays respects tomorrow, Her Majesty must have a good talk with her..."

The queen nodded slightly, and couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

This Concubine Chen is really becoming more and more lawless. Even when she is sick, she still wants to stay with the emperor and pester him. Isn't this a witch concubine who brings disaster to the country?

It's time to give it a good beating!

Unexpectedly, the next day Xu Lanshan did not go to Fengwu Palace to pay her respects, but went to pay her respects to Nanny Guan instead.

When Nanny Guan opened her mouth, her words were earth-shattering and shocked everyone!

"Your Majesty, the day before yesterday our queen was diagnosed to be over a month pregnant. The Emperor has ordered her to rest well in the palace. From now on, your Majesty will not come to pay respects to you. Please be aware of this."

The entire palace was stunned, and all the concubines were dumbfounded, thinking that there was something wrong with their ears and they were hallucinating! Then "boom!" It exploded.
