A moment later, Baili Feiyue stepped into Ci'an Palace again.
I met the empress dowager again. She had a head full of silver hair and looked like an ordinary old lady.
That's how it looks.
The royal family of Changsun prospered, this generation as well as the generation of Emperor Jing.
At the beginning, Zhangsun Wuji killed Emperor Jing's elder brother, the previous emperor. There were so many princes to choose from, but he supported Emperor Jing to sit in this position. Although he was the regent himself, Emperor Jing was not a decoration.
It's still delicious.
According to the clues she found, the reason why Emperor Jing was able to sit in this position was not because he was special, but because of the Queen Mother in front of him!
She didn't know what happened exactly.
It’s really hard to check.
But the Queen Mother was just like her appearance. She was not interested in worldly affairs and was kind and gentle.
I found this out.
She had met the Queen Mother once or twice, and she knew the person in front of her very well. It would be scary if she didn't show her true colors!
Sitting in this position, Changsun Wuji can also support Emperor Jing to ascend the throne because of her.
Can such an old lady be an ordinary old lady!
Indeed, the Queen Mother's expression today was completely different from the previous time she met Baili Feiyue. She got straight to the point, "Third girl Ling, Concubine Rui lost her unborn baby and couldn't bear the shock. She hanged herself in her palace last night. Before she committed suicide, she wrote a blood letter, every word of which said that she had no grudge against you, but you killed her child."
He raised his eyelids slightly, "Do you have anything to explain about this?"
Thinking of the woman who had bumped her belly against the rockery and blamed her for the miscarriage, Baili Feiyue couldn't like her.
That woman even abandoned her own flesh and blood to frame her. To be honest, she was sacrificing her own life, and Baili Feiyue was not surprised at all.
Looking up at the Queen Mother in front of him, explain?
How to explain this, saying that she caught Concubine Rui cheating on Emperor Jing?
The person died and the child was aborted. She was just a doctor, not a god, so there was no way to prove it.
Besides, even if she proved it, knowing this, hehe, Emperor Jing and the Queen Mother would probably want her dead even more.
"Your Highness, I can only say that this matter has nothing to do with me."
At this moment, there were only the Queen Mother and Baili Feiyue in Ci'an Palace, and there was not even a maid to serve the Queen Mother. Before the Queen Mother could speak, she continued, "I want to know something. Two days ago, someone reported that the Queen Mother had ordered me to come to the palace, and I encountered a series of bad things. Including Concubine Rui's miscarriage. Since you are not in the palace, who asked me to come?"
The Queen Mother's eyes, which were not too cloudy, flickered slightly, and she sighed, "Third girl Ling, there are all kinds of women in this harem. You have intricate relationships with many people outside the palace, and you have offended many people. If someone hates you, it would not be too rare for someone in the palace to take advantage of my leaving the palace to fulfill my vow and call you back to the palace under my banner."
"So, I did not hold this matter against you, Queen Mother."
Strictly speaking, this statement is considered to be treasonous.
She was a concubine's daughter of a minister, so even if something happened to her, she had no right to blame the empress dowager.
As the saying goes, if the king wants his subjects to die, the subjects have to die.
"Third girl Ling, are you blaming my family?"
The corners of her lips curled up under the veil. "No, you misunderstood. I just don't want to beat around the bush with someone as knowledgeable as you. That would be like showing off my skills before an expert."
He smiled again, looking particularly innocent, "You are waiting here alone for me, isn't it just to tell me something that others can't hear?"
There was a deep flash in the Queen Mother's eyes. She was indeed a smart person.
"Third girl Ling, since you said so, I will be frank with you. I believe that the baby in Concubine Rui's belly has nothing to do with you. But I also need your cooperation in the investigation. After all, on the day when Concubine Rui miscarried, many palace people saw and heard Concubine Rui accusing you of being the one who did it. The blood letter she left behind when she hanged herself also pointed to you."
"Even if I and the Emperor want to suppress this matter, we must investigate it thoroughly to silence the public."
He raised his eyes and looked at Baili Feiyue, "Until the investigation is complete, I can only ask you to stay in the palace for a few days."
Is this house arrest?
If she really wants to leave, not even the Dajing Palace can stop her!
Besides, she has no interest in losing her freedom!
"Your Highness, I have to apologize for this. If you need my cooperation, I am always available. But I cannot stay here."
When the Queen Mother heard this, her eyes became sharper, "Third girl Ling, do you know that this is ironclad evidence?"
Baili Feiyue refused to give in, "Are you trying to force me into a fight?"
In this palace, who can be completely innocent?
She didn't believe that the Queen Mother was completely unaware of what had happened before, or had no involvement in it!
Let's not talk about other things, let's talk about the death of Princess Ningyang at the Qionglin Banquet. She was also summoned by the Queen Mother and met Princess Ningyang on the way. Although later the pot was taken by Ling Yanran and Qi Wang Changsun Jue.
Of course, what she did now was a direct confrontation, and she was also certain that the Queen Mother would not do anything to her.
If it were so easy to do something to her, why would they go through so much trouble?
This is the benefit her identity brings her.
Although, the cause was also her identity.
Her identity is a double-edged sword.
For a moment, an extremely depressing atmosphere enveloped the place.
The Queen Mother changed her tone and said, "On the night you arrived, the room where the eunuch took you to wait was attacked by thieves. Many guards were killed."
"Ah?" Baili Feiyue was dumbfounded. "The house only has some basic furnishings, and not many valuables. How could it be robbed?"
She curled her lips and said, "What is there to steal? If you want to steal, you should come to the palace where you, the Queen Mother, live."
The Queen Mother said calmly, "I did lose something."
"Uh, sorry, Queen Mother. I was just talking casually, I didn't expect you really lost something." She hadn't had time to study the black beads she found in the Queen Mother's Palace.
"You didn't take it, so you don't have to apologize." The Queen Mother's eyes darkened. "This is just like the theft of the national treasury. The Emperor and I have suppressed it."
"Your Majesty, these are things I have never heard of before. I am flattered but also terrified when you tell me this."
The Queen Mother looked at her and said, "I thought you were very brave and fearless, Third Ling girl."
How could there be someone in this world who is completely fearless! Unless he is a dead person!
Baili Feiyue just smiled.
The queen mother continued, "I told you these two things because I guessed that these two things were most likely done by the same person. The things stolen from the national treasury before were some precious medicinal herbs. You are also a famous doctor, and you should have come into contact with many precious medicinal herbs. Have you noticed any suspicious people or suspicious medicinal herbs flowing?"
Baili Feiyue complained in her heart, this was like asking her directly whether she had the herbs!
Just as he was about to speak, a charming male voice rang out, "I remember telling my brother about this. If the Queen Mother wants to ask, she should ask me. What does she know?"
