Chapter 461 Concubine Li Returns to the Palace

"It's simply ridiculous!"

The Queen Mother was furious. "So, in these years, you have been in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and you have harmed the palace maids like this?" Nanny Qin widened her eyes and said, "Two years ago, two little girls came in. They looked pretty, but they died within three months. They died suddenly one after another. It was all your work, right?"

"No, no, Queen Mother, those two girls really died suddenly. They were sick, so..." Eunuch Zhu said here, turned his head and looked at Doctor Wen and said, "If you don't believe me, you can ask Doctor Wen. It was the Imperial Hospital that diagnosed the disease at that time. Doctor Wen, don't you think so?"

"Your Majesty, I don't remember these things very well. It's been a long time, and there are many things to do in the Imperial Hospital. So, if Eunuch Zhu's matter needs to be re-checked..." Doctor Wen said this and looked up at the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother saw his expectations clearly.

If it takes time to verify, then most people are naturally unwilling to spend too much effort for something that is already dead and known for a long time.

"Then check it out carefully. Come on, take him away first, and make a decision after the investigation is clear!" The Queen Mother said coldly.

Doctor Wen was stunned, looked at the Queen Mother with some disbelief, and then immediately lowered his head and remained silent.

Eunuch Zhu was instantly panicked. He kept looking at Doctor Wen, trying to let Doctor Wen speak for him.

However, when he didn't get a response, he immediately understood that at this time, his chess piece might be abandoned.

"No, no, Queen Mother, please spare my life, spare my life, this matter really has nothing to do with me!" Eunuch Zhu shouted in panic.

"It has nothing to do with you, so you don't have to be afraid. It's just what these two girls said, I have to convince them anyway!" After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she waved her hand and asked someone to take Eunuch Zhu away.

Originally, the Queen Mother was going to inquire about this matter personally. After examining the injuries on the two maids, Cuiguo and Guihua, she was really shocked.

In recent years, Eunuch Gao saw that this man was capable and knew some things, so he gave him the Inner Court Division in the harem to take charge.

It can be said that nothing serious has happened in these years, so Eunuch Gao has no time to care about it.

Besides, in such a large palace, there are many troublesome masters in the harem during the previous dynasty. Those people are even more outrageous. The eunuchs can kill the maids and eunuchs at will. If there are suddenly fewer maids and eunuchs in the inner court, it will be recorded as illness or accident. As long as no one investigates, he will naturally not care about it.

Now it's good. Eunuch Zhu sees that Eunuch Gao is not here, and he is so reckless.

However, the next day, when the queen mother was rubbing her head and thinking about how to deal with this matter, Concubine Li came back with Xiao Yuze. The queen

mother was naturally happier that the third prince returned to the palace. Concubine

Li has a lively personality. She has been like that since she followed the emperor to the palace. The empress dowager likes her very much.

She is free and easy-going, and is very friendly with the empress dowager, but she is not very harmonious with the empress.

Concubine Li once said frankly that if she didn't love Xiao Yin very much, she would definitely not share her husband with other women.

But it's okay. Concubine Li and Lu Yuanyuan get along well, especially since they both know kung fu, so they have a lot in common. However

, in the past few years, Concubine Li always goes back to Wanhua City, the border of the western border, and usually doesn't stay in the capital.

The empress dowager also thinks that it is good for Concubine Li to go back. Wanhua City is the entrance of Xiyue to Dawei. Because of the obstruction of Wanhua City, Xiyue has never had the opportunity to attack Dawei on a large scale.

Especially after Xiao Yin ascended the throne, the border of Xiyue was guarded more firmly.

"Grandmother!" When a clear voice sounded, the Queen Mother was helping Xiao Ruilin to tidy up his clothes. She raised her eyes and smiled.

"Ze'er is back? That's great. Grandmother is in need of help. Ze'er's return will help Grandmother a lot!" The Queen Mother said with a smile.

"Grandmother, what do you want Ze'er to help you with?" Xiao Yuze walked to the Queen Mother, looked at Xiao Ruilin, and said, "Brother is so handsome, he looks a lot like sister Xi'er, you are Lin'er's brother, right?"

"Yes, I am Lin'er, are you Ze'er's brother?" Xiao Ruilin is generous and decent now, so when he heard Xiao Yuze say this, he immediately nodded in response.

"Well, I brought you a gift!" Xiao Yuze naturally liked this bright and lovely brother very much, so he immediately responded, took Xiao Ruilin's hand, and said to the Queen Mother: "Grandmother, Ze'er will take my brother to see the gifts!"

"Ze'er, why are you so rude? Shouldn't your gift be given to Grandmother first?" A crisp voice sounded, and then a bright red color came into view.

The Queen Mother always liked such brightness. She raised her head and smiled at Concubine Li.

"Your son pays homage to the Queen Mother!" Concubine Li stepped forward and squatted to salute.

"Okay, you are a person who doesn't observe etiquette, so there is no need to follow these rules. It's great that you came this time. I was just worried that no one was in charge of the harem, and I had a headache!" said the Queen Mother.

Concubine Li immediately stepped forward and said, "My son is back, so you can rest assured and take care of me. As for your headache, let Ze'er rub it for you!"

"Yes, Grandmother, Ze'er has learned a lot of skills, and there is absolutely no problem in rubbing your head for you!" Xiao Yuze immediately went over, climbed onto the soft couch, and rubbed the Queen Mother's head.

"Okay, okay, it really doesn't hurt after Ze'er rubs it!" The Queen Mother coaxed the child and said with a smile.

Concubine Li handed over a box and said, "Mother, this is a sachet I made. It can detoxify and calm the mind. If you wear it every day, you will definitely have a good rest and no headaches!" The Queen

Mother looked at the sachet in her hand and nodded, "You are so thoughtful!"

"By the way, mother, I heard that something happened in the palace recently, and Concubine Xian is not in the palace. Whatever it is, I will handle it!" Concubine Li said.

"It's rare that you are back. This matter really needs to be handled by you!" The Queen Mother said, and asked Aunt Gui to tell Concubine Li everything.

After listening to this, Concubine Li nodded and said, "Actually, mother, when I was in the palace a few years ago, I heard some things about this eunuch Zhu, but at that time..."

At that time, the emperor of the previous dynasty was still in power, and the harem was controlled by the concubine. The concubine liked to target Xiao Yin and his sister, so she was not friendly to the queen mother who was only a concubine at that time.
