Just as Yinzhen was about to call Liang Jiugong in to inquire about the situation, Liang Jiugong came in and reported: "Your Majesty, all the assassins who attempted the assassination today committed suicide during their transport."
Yinzhen was already feeling frustrated because his wife had been assassinated, but then he was told that all the people who tried to assassinate his wife had committed suicide.
With a dark expression, Yinzhen asked, "How did you commit suicide?"
Liang Jiugong: "He hid poison under his tongue and swallowed it before he was captured, so the guards' attempts to gag him were useless. They died one after another along the way."
Yinzhen: "Let Chengwu take his men to investigate. I want to know who is behind this."
Cheng Wu was the most skilled detective under Yinzhen. He had a group of people under him, all of whom were experts in their respective fields. Yinzhen never disappointed him in any task he was given.
Liang Jiugong knew that the Emperor was really angry at this moment. And rightly so, the Emperor doted on the Empress so much, how could he not be angry if someone wanted to harm her?
Liang Jiugong: "Hah!"
After much deliberation, Yinzhen still couldn't figure out who had such ability.
Yunrong is actually not in any serious condition.
Yunrong: "I'm fine, aren't I? Don't worry. You cleaned up the palace years ago. It's probably the limit that the assassins were able to find these people. Besides, they have people protecting them in the shadows. This can't be rushed."
Yinzhen: "If I can't find out who's behind this, how can I let it go?"
Yunrong sighed. To be honest, it wasn't that Yunrong wasn't afraid, but she didn't really react at the time, she was just too nervous. Now that she realized what had happened, she felt a little scared.
Fortunately, he had seen all sorts of things over the years while following Yinzhen, so he wasn't surprised.
Yunrong comforted Yinzhen for a while, then called over the two nannies, Changchun and Changyin, and instructed them: "Have someone properly appease the candidates. Those who have already been selected should be sent back according to the rules. As for the remaining candidates, arrange for them to stay, and assign a palace maid to serve each of them. Also, go to the Imperial Hospital to invite an imperial physician to examine their pulses, so as not to frighten them."
Chang Yin and Chang Chun: "Your servants obey the decree."
After Changchun and Changyin left.
Yinzhen said, "Don't worry about the candidates. I will send someone to negotiate with their families. There aren't many left who haven't been selected. If they are willing to keep their names on the list, they will be granted a marriage. If they are not willing to keep their names on the list, they can leave and go back to marry on their own."
Yunrong thought this was acceptable: "I'll listen to you."
Yunrong then called Baixiang over and asked her to inform the two nannies, Changyin and Changchun.
On the other hand, Jia Hui, who was a candidate for the imperial concubine, was initially pushed and shoved away from the scene of the incident by a group of people, so she only learned about the incident later.
When she learned that no one had been attacked that day, Jia Hui's face fell, but fortunately she knew how to hide it, and others just thought she was surprised.
Jiayi looked at her elder sister, not wanting to go up and speak, but she was afraid of being criticized for being her own sister. She had participated in the selection in the group before her elder sister and had been rejected.
She wants to marry into a good family, but it all depends on the wishes of the Fujin (principal wife). In addition, if someone with ulterior motives spreads rumors that she neglects her elder sister, she will probably have a hard time finding a good family.
In the end, she went over. Jiayi didn't know how to talk to her elder sister, with whom she had a grudge, so she said very stiffly, "Sister, are you alright? You don't look well, are you frightened? Should we tell the nanny to call a royal physician to come and take a look?"
If a young lady is unwell, she can report it to the emperor and have the imperial physician treat her.
Jia Hui naturally had something on her mind. She had planned everything perfectly, but none of her wishes came true. How could she possibly be alright?
She wasn't frightened, but rather deeply resentful.
Jia Hui forced herself to adjust her mindset, put on a professional smile, and said, "Thank you for your concern, little sister. I'm fine. I was just pushed a bit, but I feel much better now."
Jiayi didn't care much about her elder sister's safety. Hearing her say that, she smiled with relief: "It's good that you're alright, sister. But we can't keep the truth from you just to appease An-meimei."
Jia Hui smiled and reassured Jia Yi, "It's really nothing, don't worry."
One legitimate wife and one illegitimate wife, one elder sister and one younger sister, their relationship was intertwined.
Anyone could say that the sisters had a deep bond; the Hesheli family was well-mannered, with the half-sister caring for her elder sister and the elder sister understanding her half-sister.
