Xiao Hanyi glanced at Concubine Heng, and Concubine Heng said aggrievedly, "Your Majesty, you must believe in me, you must believe in me."
She glanced at Guo Xiner and suddenly remembered that she and Guo Xiner had a very good relationship. She ran to Guo Xiner and took Guo Xiner's hand. "Sister, you know best how I treat you. How could I possibly harm you? Tell the emperor quickly that it really wasn't me. I believe you, right?"
Guo Xiner nodded, "Sister, this matter has not been concluded yet. Even if this nanny said so, the emperor will not just listen to the words of a servant. Let's trust the people from the Ministry of Punishment. They will definitely be able to clear your name."
Xiao Hanyi's face turned cold. Yes, there must be evidence for this matter.
However, it is not impossible for Concubine Heng to be the one. Xiao Hanyi glanced at Concubine Heng. She has the second prince.
He really didn't like having things messed up when he was already under control. Could it be that it wasn't the Queen? He felt annoyed again.
[It's over, it's over, Tyrant Daddy can't make the bet anymore.]
[How could it be Concubine Heng? I can't say for sure. This passage isn't in the book, and I don't know who did it.]
What? This little guy is thinking about this? Xiao Hanyi was speechless. Didn't she say it was Queen Wang? Now she says she doesn't know. Oh, what a headache!
Queen Wang suppressed her excitement. Such a dangerous scene was resolved just like that, and it even involved Concubine Heng. She felt so relieved.
Concubine Liang covered her chest with her hands. She was frightened by the scene just now. Her expression was confused. She pointed at Concubine Heng and shouted, "You have such a cruel heart that you actually want to harm the royal heir."
Concubine Heng glanced at Xiao Hanyi in panic, then glared at Concubine Liang, "A lowly maid is like a mad dog, I have never done that."
"Your Majesty, this nanny just now died to prove her will. Your Majesty must severely punish the murderer," Concubine Liang turned to Xiao Hanyi. It would be great if Concubine Heng could be pulled down this time.
The position of Imperial Concubine was vacant, but Concubine Shu was not interested in it. Concubine De was a foodie and had gotten so fat. She was the Queen's confidant, so the position of Imperial Concubine would definitely be hers.
Queen Wang stood up with the courage of a queen and glared at Concubine Heng, "You dare to murder Concubine Guo and the royal heir. Come, arrest her!"
"Who dares!" Concubine Heng shouted, then knelt down and pleaded her innocence to Xiao Hanyi, "Your Majesty, please investigate. I can withstand the investigation."
In fact, she was unsure. In this palace, many things did not require evidence. Evidence could be fabricated. The truth was not important sometimes. What was important was what kind of result Xiao Hanyi wanted. Was he going to abolish her position as imperial concubine now?
No, as long as her brother still has the military power, Xiao Hanyi will not touch her. Thinking this through, Concubine Heng will not be afraid anymore, but what happened today is strange.
Could it be that what happened today was a trap set by Queen Wang? She was really confused now.
Xiao Hanyi said, "Come here, confine Concubine Heng to Chengqian Palace and continue the investigation. Whoever is found in this matter will be severely punished."
Concubine Heng looked unwilling, but she did nothing.
"Your Majesty, I apologize," Queen Wang walked to Xiao Hanyi and knelt down, "I am in charge of the harem, but such a thing happened. I am responsible. Please punish me, Your Majesty."
"Okay, Queen Wang, if you apologize now, if my father punishes you, then Concubine Heng's punishment will be even heavier. You're quite scheming."
Xiao Hanyi corrected her, saying that Queen Wang wanted to put an end to the matter. As long as she insisted that Concubine Heng was the mastermind behind the murder of the pregnant concubine, banishment to the cold palace would be the lightest punishment.
Although this little girl knows a lot, her perspective on things is still young.
"Each of these palace servants will be given twenty strokes of the cane and sent back to their original posts. Concubine Heng, I will investigate thoroughly. As for the Queen, this matter has nothing to do with you, that's all." Xiao Hanyi said, standing up. "You all may go back."
He now also began to suspect Concubine Heng, believing that she had motives.
Xiao Hanyi's eyes were full of anger. There really was someone around him who was coveting his kingdom. He walked over to Guo Xiner and said, "Come on, follow me back to Weiyang Palace."
She couldn't live in this Funing Palace anymore, he wanted to keep her by his side.
Guo Xiner was grateful in her heart. She was also scared now. It seemed that there were dangers everywhere. It would be safer to stay with Xiao Hanyi.
......
Queen Wang returned to the Jiangjiaofang Palace and asked all the palace people to serve outside.
Nanny Liu served her a cup of tea and said, "Today's incident was so dangerous. Fortunately, Nanny Sun was smart and was able to use this method to cling to Concubine Heng. She knew that this way the Empress would protect her family."
"Originally, it was Sun who poisoned the place. When the Emperor investigated, he put the blame on Madam Wei. Madam Wei and Concubine Guo lived together at the time, so he said that she was jealous of Concubine Guo's sudden favor. Then he searched her residence and found the poison without anyone knowing. But who could have known that things would turn out like this," Madam Liu said in detail.
She was frightened today. Xiao Hanyi's attack was so cruel and so fast that she had no time to react.
"Fortunately, that Sun brought Concubine Heng in, so the Empress has nothing to do with it anymore," continued Matron Liu.
Queen Wang was not so optimistic. Xiao Hanyi was not someone who could be easily fooled.
Seeing Queen Wang frowning, Nanny Liu thought for a moment and asked, "Your Majesty, is there anything else wrong?"
She drank the tea and said slowly, "Now that Madam Wei and Nanny Liu are dead, the case is considered clean. This time we finally have the possibility of involving Concubine Heng." She thought for a moment, lowered her voice and ordered, "Doesn't she have a son who is addicted to gambling? Send him some money and have someone close to Concubine Heng go."
Nanny Liu understood instantly that Concubine Heng would never be able to clear herself of this even if she jumped into the Yellow River. "The Empress is thoughtful, I will do it right away."
Queen Wang sighed, but her face did not relax. It was a mistake not to deal with Guo this time. It was such a good opportunity, but that idiot ate the pastries. He was so greedy. What could such a person accomplish?
Isn't she said to be scheming? How come it was over before she even started in front of Guo?
Nanny Liu understood what the Queen meant. What a good opportunity it was. It would probably be even more difficult in the future. Who knows, Guo Xiner's child might be born.
"Your Majesty, the most important thing for us right now is to find a supportive wife for the eldest prince. Even if Guo's child is born, how can such a young child compare with our eldest prince? Besides, it is not easy to raise a child," advised Liu Ma.
After hearing this, Queen Wang felt a little better. Yes, it was not known whether it was a princess or a prince, so there was no need to be so nervous. Even if it was a prince, he could not catch up with her son. It was the second prince who had been jumping around lately.
"We have to prepare for the flower viewing banquet in mid-March. All the noble ladies will be there, so we can't make any mistakes."
Queen Wang prepared a flower-viewing banquet, and everyone in the capital knew that she was selecting a concubine for the eldest prince.
The eldest prince's wife must be superior to the second prince's wife.
In fact, she didn't need to be so nervous, because the second prince was in front of Lord Liu Yan's house at this moment, thinking about how to marry his concubine's daughter.
