Chapter 47 Thorough Investigation
"Why don't you bring Shu'er over here?"
Emperor Yongping had already heard Chu Qinshu's wish to hear gossip, and he found it a little funny.
Oh, it's just my habit. I listened to gossip all over his head.
When Chu Qinshu was in Emperor Yongping's arms, she obediently opened her mouth and drank the milk he fed her.
“Ahhh~”
【Ah, ah, ah, Shu'er is full, Shu'er is growing taller, Shu'er is beating up the bad guys for the Emperor.】
Chu Qinshu muttered to herself while drinking milk.
Emperor Yongping smiled kindly because of her words.
His love for this granddaughter was not in vain. At such a young age, she knew that she had to beat up bad guys for him when she grew up.
Well, I must continue to love her well in the future.
Concubine Xian, who was still kneeling on the ground, saw that Emperor Yongping ignored her but was so concerned about a baby.
I immediately felt offended.
Who in the palace doesn't know that the new little princess of the East Palace is favored?
It was just a little girl, she didn't take it seriously.
But she never expected that Emperor Yongping doted on her to the extent of feeding her milk himself?
Not to mention her grandchildren, even her two sons have never enjoyed such treatment.
Unfortunately, no matter how bitter and resentful she felt in her heart, she didn't dare to say a word at this moment.
The life of her little son and her nephew were both waiting for her to save.
“Ahhh~Ahhh~”
[Shu'er has had enough to drink. Your Majesty, please quickly interrogate the prisoner. Shu'er wants to listen.]
Chu Qinshu had eaten and drunk her fill, and was ready to listen to gossip, with the light in her eyes brightening a little.
"Shu'er, are you full? Then, Your Majesty, please pat Shu'er's back."
Emperor Yongping said this as he held Chu Qinshu up and placed her little head on his shoulder.
Then, he stood up seriously and patted her little back.
Only after hearing her burp did he go back to sit behind the desk.
Concubine Xian: “…”
Is this emperor the same emperor she has known for decades?
He even knows how to burp a baby?
He really...wasn't taken away?
"Concubine Xian, who did you just tell me not to let go of?"
Emperor Yongping held Chu Qinshu back into his arms and spoke to Concubine Xian in a low voice.
Concubine Xian: “…”
Let her think about it, what did she just say?
“Ahhhhhh~”
[Shu'er knows, Shu'er knows, the old woman said that she would investigate the guards who let the bad guy into the palace, and also investigate the palace maids who led the bad guy to the cold palace.]
Chu Qinshu excitedly spoke on behalf of Concubine Xian. She loved watching palace fighting dramas where the villains were the main target.
I just watched a live version today.
Emperor Yongping: “…”
The old woman that Shu'er was talking about, is she referring to Concubine Xian?
When I went to Concubine Jing’s palace two days ago, the evil mother-in-law she mentioned should also be Concubine Xian, right?
It seems that he is not the only one who dislikes Concubine Xian.
"Xianfei?"
Seeing that Concubine Xian didn't speak for a long time, Emperor Yongping looked at her in confusion.
"Oh, I would like to ask Your Majesty to check the guards who let Mouer into the palace today, the palace maid who took him to the cold palace, and the person who delivered the message and the token to Mouer."
Concubine Xian remembered her purpose and had to bite the bullet and repeat what she had just said.
“Ahhh, ahh ...
[She clearly arranged for the person to lead the way to the cold palace, why did she need the emperor to check? And as for medicine, she even asked someone to prepare medicine, why didn't she let the emperor check it? ]
Chu Qinshu couldn't understand.
The part where Concubine Xian killed Prince Shou has a specific plot in the original book.
Therefore, she could remember Concubine Xian even without watching the video.
Emperor Yongping: "......"
So Concubine Xian was crying "stop thief"?
However, why would the person who was taken to the cold palace be the good-for-nothing playboy from the Zhang family?
"Okay, I'll do as you wish and investigate. But do you also want to investigate the person who bought and administered the drugs?"
Emperor Yongping agreed straightforwardly.
To be honest, he also wanted to know what he could find out.
"Investigate, how dare someone use such a despicable method on my nephew..."
Concubine Xian answered the call a little quickly, but she only responded halfway through.
Didn't she mention checking for drugs?
Moreover, when she went to the cold palace, she forgot to ask Zhang Yongmou what kind of drug he had been poisoned with.
If someone was really poisoned by the drug she had someone buy, and then check the person who bought the drug, wouldn't it be......
Thinking of this, Concubine Xian became a little panicked.
But if you stop talking halfway, it seems like you are incriminating yourself.
Therefore, she could only bite the bullet and said, "Investigate. She dared to give drugs to a man outside the harem. If we don't investigate, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the concubines in the harem to rest assured."
After Concubine Xian finished her reply, she began to sweat on her back.
She just hoped that the nanny she sent to do the job would clean up the mess thoroughly and not leave any evidence.
"Okay, whatever you say."
Emperor Yongping agreed without hesitation.
Then he signaled Lin Fu to go out and ask people to verify one by one.
Not long after, the guards on duty at the Outer Palace Gate and the Inner Palace Gate that morning all came to Yu's study.
Emperor Yongping asked questions in person.
As a result, most of the guards had seen Zhang Yongmou and the token he carried today.
Some people even drew pictures of the keepsake.
As for the palace maid who led Zhang Yongmou and drugged him, she was not found.
But a nanny in Concubine Xian's palace was found dead behind a rockery near the cold palace.
They also found an empty medicine bag on her.
After examination by the imperial physician, it was confirmed that the medicine in the medicine package was exactly the medicine that Zhang Yong had planned to take.
"Concubine Xian, are you satisfied with the investigation of this matter?"
Emperor Yongping was actually disappointed with this result.
Because he didn't find any of the things he wanted to know.
"Your Majesty, I refuse to accept this. It is obvious that someone is framing me.
Mou'er is my nephew, why would I harm him like this? It doesn't make sense at all."
When Concubine Xian saw the picture of the token drawn by the guard, she was already frightened.
That was the dowry she brought from her parents' home. Everyone in the Zhang family knew it, so it's no wonder that Zhang Yongmou was fooled.
When she saw the body of the nun and the medicine bag found on her, she knew it was all over.
How can I explain this clearly?
Even if she had a hundred mouths, she still couldn't explain it.
"It doesn't make sense? Then can you give me a reasonable explanation?"
Emperor Yongping also knew that this matter was strange.
But the evidence was all there, and the culprit was caught in full view of the public.
"Your Majesty, there are guards in the cold palace. They are guarding the gate of the cold palace. How could they let a man from outside break in without stopping him?"
At this time, Concubine Xian felt a little resentful towards the guards in the cold palace. She paid money to bribe them, not to let them let her nephew in.
"Lin Fu, you come and talk."
Emperor Yongping was puzzled as he looked at all the evidence found so far, all of which pointed to Concubine Xian.
Has Concubine Xian been targeted for a long time?
But who else in the palace has an old grudge against Concubine Xian, besides Concubine Jing?
But Concubine Jing is not the kind of person who would set up such a trap.
"My Lady Xianfei, there is a dog hole under the wall of the Cold Palace. The maid of the deposed concubine confirmed that your nephew climbed in through the dog hole."
Lin Fu said seriously.
All the prisoners he interrogated had signed confessions.
Such a big incident happened in the cold palace, and the guards on duty could not escape responsibility.
But whether the outsider entered through the front gate or through the dog hole, the punishment for the guard was the difference between death and half death, so of course he had to tell the truth.
"Eunuch Lin, that maid must have been threatened and is giving false testimony."
Concubine Xian was rambling like this, and it was obvious that she was no longer able to do anything.
“Ahhhhhhhh”
[This Shu'er knew that Concubine Xian was not lying. The maid was really threatened. Well, she was threatened by Concubine Xian's men to prove that her master had an affair with a man outside the palace, so as to prove the crime.]
This plot was so confusing that even Chu Qinshu, who had read the original book, was almost confused.
The original book clearly states that Concubine Xian cleaned up the mess very quickly and no clues were found in the palace.
Oh, by the way, in the original book, after this incident happened, it was the Queen who stepped in to deal with it.
It's normal that the Queen's people can't find any clues.
After all, the Queen had been rejected many times when she tried to invite the Prince to celebrate his birthday, so it was understandable that she wanted to help Concubine Xian conceal the truth.
"Go check the family of that palace maid."
After hearing what Chu Qinshu said, Emperor Yongping couldn't help but want to continue investigating.
Concubine Xian: “…”
I always feel like something is wrong. Has she dug a hole for herself again?
