Chapter 195 Is it necessary?
Besides, the embroiderer is still here, and now that she has recognized it, she can remember when it was made.
Qi Yixiu nodded: "Get up. Check it carefully, I'm not in a hurry."
"Your Majesty, please calm down. This must be a frame-up by someone with ulterior motives. How could your mother do such a thing? There is absolutely no need for it." said the Queen.
There is no need to discuss whether Empress Dowager Li is kind or not.
Just say it is necessary?
Qi Yixiu sneered: "Of course not the Queen Mother."
Maybe someone wanted to drag the Queen Mother down with him? Was he trying to kill Feng or save her? "It's getting late. Let's all go back. I'll make the final decision." Qi Yixiu waved his hand.
Everyone responded in a hurry and no one dared to say another word, and they hurriedly left.
After returning to Cuiyunxuan, Shen Chuliu felt a little tired. His legs had cramped when he was kneeling just now, and he felt very uncomfortable.
Zhemei quickly started to massage her.
Shen Chuliu let them do what they wanted, wondering in her heart who was behind this?
There was no need for Empress Dowager Li to do all this. The two of them coaxed Empress Dowager Feng in the hope of taking her down in one fell swoop one day.
Empress Dowager Li has not sought benefits for her family in the past few years. Who would she use such a low-brow method to deal with now? And she dealt with several people at once. This is obviously unreasonable.
That is...Empress Dowager Feng deliberately created confusion?
As for Empress Dowager Li, Qi Yixiu and the Queen naturally came to reply in person.
After hearing this, Empress Dowager Li was speechless for a long time.
This is a really courageous person.
Qiufen and Hanlu were busy looking for the dress. After a long time, they finally confirmed: "It was given away at the end of last year. It was taken from the concubines. It's hard to find now..."
There are many people above the Empress Dowager, so it is not uncommon to reward them to concubines who are still in the palace.
At that time, everything was taken away at once, and it is difficult to find out now who took it.
Besides, it is not appropriate to disturb the elders for this.
"I have already asked people to investigate, and I believe the concubines will be understanding." Qi Yixiu would not let his mother suffer this injustice.
This time, whether we really find that person or find a substitute, we must not leave it hanging.
It damages the Queen Mother's reputation.
Everyone could only say okay, if they could find out what was going on this time, then everything would be fine. If they couldn't find out, then whoever had the fabric before would be the one to blame.
"Master." Eunuch Chen Yang came into Furongxuan.
"Is everything cleaned up?" Yi Chongyuan asked.
"Don't worry, master. There are no traces." Chen Yang said.
"You are efficient. You have followed me through all the ups and downs. It's hard to believe that you are loyal." Yi Chongyuan said.
"When I was in the palace, I had a hard time, and you helped me. Now that I'm in the palace, I can serve you. Besides, I hate the Feng family, and I have no objection to dealing with them."
Chen Yang was originally the legitimate son of a minor official, but was later sold out because his family committed a crime.
It wasn't a big deal at first, but later on, by some strange coincidence, he was delayed by the Feng family and sent to the palace to be castrated and become a eunuch.
How could he not feel resentment when he had lost all hope in his life?
At first he did not dare to say it. Later, Yi Chongyuan also experienced a major incident and knew that it was Empress Dowager Feng who framed her, so she hated Feng too. Only then did Chen Yang dare to speak out.
He does have the ability.
"Just doing this may not be enough to deal with that old hag." Yi Chongyuan sighed.
"The ice is three feet thick, and it didn't freeze overnight. Master, don't be anxious, it will happen sooner or later. We are just adding some weight to her. She has always remembered the kindness she had shown to Empress Dowager Li and the Emperor. Now that she has done this herself, how much does the Emperor remember about that kindness?" Chen Yang said.
Yi Chongyuan nodded: "I will remember your kindness, you can go ahead."
Chen Yang responded and left.
In fact, this plan is very simple. With the incident with Concubine Feng as the foundation, Chen Yang had already come into contact with the girl called Parrot. She was just a maid in Beigong Garden and had no master.
Chen Yang pretended to be Empress Dowager Feng's man to contact her several times, and then led the real Empress Dowager Feng's man to contact the parrot.
The parrot had been in Beigong Garden for a long time and had come into contact with the people around the concubines there.
A piece of clothing bought with the silver given by Chen Yang.
And the people in front of the concubine did not steal the clothes of their master.
The people who live here are not that careful, it's very easy to steal something.
Anyway, the parrot only said that she wanted a dress given by the Empress Dowager Li, and she said it was nice, and bought it to take out of the palace. She said that the dress was beautiful, and she saw it when it was given to her last year, and she wanted one to decorate her appearance when she left the palace to get married.
This is not surprising. When the maids leave the palace, their masters will also reward them with clothes. The maid thought the parrot was just pretending. Moreover, she took the silver, but what she stole was not her master's, so she had no psychological burden at all. Those who served in Beigongyuan had no way out. After all, it was five taels of silver.
What Chen Yang promised the parrot was to send her out of the palace next year and give her two hundred taels of silver.
How could the parrot not be tempted? That's how the parrot took the risk, relying on the fact that she rarely showed up. After doing this, she could leave the palace after a few months of peace and quiet.
Who knew that the end of greed would be killing.
Now that Qi Yixiu was looking into the parrot's life, he could naturally find out some things.
Chen had been plotting for several years just to trick Empress Dowager Feng, but he didn't dare let Yi Chongyuan know before.
So he was just waiting for an opportunity, and this time Concubine Feng poisoned Shen Chuliu, which was the opportunity.
Therefore, it was easy for him to arrange a meeting between the parrot and a eunuch from Empress Dowager Feng.
He was still afraid that this was not safe, so he left another thing with the parrot, which was a purse.
It is obviously used by men, and many eunuchs in the palace use it.
So Qi Yixiu made a determined effort to investigate, and half a month later, the purse was found on the desk in Taiji Palace.
Moreover, the palace maid who sold the clothes to the parrot was also tied up and sent to the Internal Punishment Department.
The owner of the purse was Empress Dowager Feng and a previous eunuch, who said the purse had been lost for several months.
However, Qi Yixiu still sent him to the Internal Criminal Department.
There was only so much evidence, and Qi Yixiu concluded that it was Empress Dowager Feng who did it.
But before the time came for a falling out, Empress Dowager Feng was shocked, thinking that someone was plotting against her.
For a time, all kinds of things were said in the palace.
Naturally, most of them were speaking for Empress Dowager Li. Needless to say, which one is more important, the empress's biological mother or her stepmother? Qi Yixiu asked the Internal Criminal Department to interrogate the two people who were sent in. The one who stole clothes was fine. He only admitted that he had stolen a lot of things in the past few years, but they were not big items. There was nothing else.
Qi Yixiu ordered him to be beaten and thrown out of the palace.
That eunuch was of no use to Empress Dowager Feng, and he said nothing after being interrogated.
Empress Dowager Feng was still cautious.
In the end, Qi Yixiu simply accused him of betraying his master and harming him, and then skinned him alive.
