The emperor listened to what the palace maid said with a look of disbelief.
Although Concubine Ru is a little spoiled and willful, she is not so cruel and ruthless!
After all, Concubine Ying had long been banished to the cold palace by him and had lost her favor and status, so she no longer posed any threat to her.
But why did Concubine Ru want to kill Concubine Ying?
The emperor suddenly thought of General Hou and his military power. Could it be...
The more the emperor thought about it, the uglier his expression became.
At this time, all the eunuchs and palace maids in charge of the cold palace were kneeling.
Suddenly, an unconscious and ragged woman rushed out from the cold palace where no one was guarding her.
He rushed straight towards the emperor.
The people around the emperor were all looking around at this time, and they did not expect such a thing to happen.
Caught off guard, the emperor was knocked to the ground by the woman.
The emperor was startled and struggled to break free.
The eunuchs and palace maids quickly surrounded them and pulled the woman away with force.
The woman's eyes were dazed and she looked crazy. Even after being dragged here, she was still mumbling to herself.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Are you finally here to visit Ning'er?"
Then there was a burst of crazy laughter.
"whee!"
"Ha ha!"
"I know that Your Majesty still loves Ning'er the most in your heart."
Then there was another burst of laughter.
"Hahahaha! Hehehe!"
The emperor was stunned.
He stared at the strange yet familiar woman in front of him with astonishment, and hesitated for a moment.
"You...you are Qian Yuning?"
There was disbelief in his voice.
Then he asked another question.
"How did you become like this?" He seemed to want to find the answer from the other party's answer.
He clearly remembered that at first, Qian Yuning was the Imperial Concubine, but because she angered him due to something, she was demoted to a noble lady.
Not long after that, Concubine Yu once again angered Concubine Ru, so she was once again demoted and became a talented person.
He clearly remembered that at that time he only ordered her to stay in the palace to reflect on her mistakes and to be punished with half a year's salary, but he did not send her to the cold palace!
How could she appear in the cold palace now?
And he became so miserable, as if he had gone crazy.
Looking at the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but feel confused.
At this moment, when he looked at Qian Yuning, the figure of Qian Yuning's father, former Minister of Rites Qian Chengguang, suddenly flashed in his mind.
Qian Chengguang once mentioned something to him, but he didn't believe it at that time.
After all, at that time everyone accused him of favoring Concubine Ru too much, believing that Concubine Ru was of humble status and the highest rank she could obtain should not exceed that of a concubine.
Qian Chengguang was the Minister of Rites and also Qian Yuning's father.
What he said would inevitably be seen as venting his daughter's anger and deliberately making things difficult for Concubine Ru just because the latter's family background was not prominent enough.
However, thinking back now, could what Qian Chengguang said be true?
So, is Concubine Ru really involved with the remnants of the Dali Kingdom?
Could it be that they were trying to overthrow the Great Sheng Dynasty under their rule?
These thoughts flooded his mind, causing him to fall into deep thought...
Another very strange thing is that it has been almost half a year since Concubine Ru’s parents returned to their hometown to worship their ancestors, and there has been no news since then?
Ru Guifei's aunt and cousin also suddenly appeared. Could they also be related to Dali Kingdom?
He didn't think much about it before, he was more fond of Concubine Ru and showed more care and trust.
Now, why does he feel that Concubine Ru is full of loopholes...
Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they can become irreversible.
The emperor's face became increasingly gloomy, and everyone was terrified.
The back of the middle-aged eunuch in the cold palace was soaked. He was afraid of being charged with murdering the concubine, so he kowtowed and said.
"Your Majesty, please be wise. When Concubine Yu was sent here, she was already like this."
"It really wasn't us who did this."
The other eunuchs and palace maids in the cold palace also echoed this.
"Your Majesty, it really wasn't us who did this!"
The emperor said coldly, "Investigate, investigate thoroughly!"
Wang De was not here at the moment, so the second-class eunuch beside the emperor, named Zhang Yu, quickly agreed.
"I'll do it right away!" Zhang Yu said, and quickly took people to investigate.
The emperor said again.
"Surround Gao's mansion. No one is allowed to enter or leave."
Zhang Yu was stunned. "Yes, Your Majesty! I will do it right away!"
All the eunuchs and palace maids in the cold palace were taken away.
The emperor saw Qian Yuning, who seemed a little silly, again.
He frowned and said, "Give Concubine Yu a wash and take good care of her!"
The maids around her quickly responded. Two maids helped Qian Yuning leave.
Qian Yuning struggled hard, but was held tightly by two palace maids, preventing her from moving.
Qian Yuning was so frightened that she dared not move.
The emperor was in a state of confusion. He got on the imperial sedan with a grim look on his face and left.
He found that many things seemed to be out of control...
In the Qian Mansion in Bianjing City, Qian Liangchen and Xie Mingjue were originally sitting and drinking tea.
Suddenly I saw Yu Jinzhi running in hurriedly.
"Oh no, oh no, something terrible has happened."
They both looked at him in confusion.
"What happened? Why are you so panicked?" Xie Mingjue asked with a frown!
"The emperor just issued an edict to make Hua Wanru the queen."
Xie Mingjue and Qian Liangchen were both shocked, their faces full of disbelief.
Xie Mingjue's eyes turned, "How did the emperor suddenly know that Miss Hua is still alive?"
Otherwise, the emperor would not be so crazy and suddenly make Miss Hua the queen. He must have received accurate information.
Qian Liangchen poured a cup of tea for Yu Jinzhi and spoke in a gentle voice.
"Jinzhi, drink some water and speak slowly."
Yu Jinzhi didn't hesitate and sat down opposite them. He picked up the teacup and drank all the tea in it.
Then put down the teacup.
Qian Liangchen filled his glass again.
Yu Jinzhi wiped the sweat off his head and said, "I just heard the news from the palace."
"But I don't know what happened exactly?"
"I heard that after lunch, the emperor suddenly issued an order to make Miss Hua the queen."
"Other things need to be checked."
Yu Jingzhi's words had just fallen.
Suddenly, a small arrow flew in with a "whoosh" sound and nailed directly onto their desk. It was still trembling.
You can imagine the power of this arrow.
Yu Jinzhi was so scared that he almost jumped up from the stool.
Qian Liangchen was speechless and pulled out the arrow. He couldn't help but touch his own table.
"My fine rosewood table."
"There are several holes in it."
Xie Mingjue felt a little apologetic, "I will definitely talk to him next time. Nail the arrow to the ground!"
Qian Liangchen shook his head. "My floor was paved with white jade stones by Mo Bai himself! It would be a pity if it rotted!"
Yu Jinzhi's mouth twitched. I felt like I couldn't understand what they were saying.
Xie Mingjue's mouth twitched, and he heard Qian Liangchen sigh, "That kid, can't you just be honest and come in to deliver the letter?"
