Chapter 678 Check
Of course Qi Yixiu couldn't investigate this matter openly.
But when the emperor wants to investigate something seriously, there will inevitably be no results.
As the weather grew hotter, fewer people moved around in the palace, but the Internal Criminal Department was very busy.
That’s right, Congmeng, Qimeng, Chenxiang and Fuxiang who had left the palace earlier are all here.
They were already married, and the emperor had also ordered that since they were married, they should be treated with some respect, especially since Fuxiang was five months pregnant.
It is not a good time to punish him.
But this is the Internal Criminal Department. Even though she is married, the fear of this place is ingrained in her bones.
Especially now that they are all married with husbands and children, how much loyalty do they still have to Concubine He? Even if they are loyal, there is always a comparison, so it is too easy to confess.
What we know from dreams and dreams are the early days of Concubine He.
For example, she conspired with Concubine Kangde to frame Concubine Qianshu, and even used poinsettia to poison her own fetus.
As a result, she was unable to get pregnant for many years.
As for agarwood and floating incense, we know even more.
The people left behind by Empress Dowager Feng, the poisonous scorpion incident, and the time when Empress Dowager Li and Li Qiu Shui got into trouble.
And the matter of constantly harming the Ninth Prince.
The eunuchs who were recording were all shocked. Although everyone in the harem was powerful, she was the only one who could hide her talents so deeply.
"She...she said on the surface that she followed Consort Qian Shu, hoping that one day the Second Prince would come to prominence so that she and the Fifth Princess could have a good future. And because she was favored, she said she was afraid that others would not tolerate her, so she asked for protection. But in fact, she...she also had contacts with Consort Li De and Zhen Chongyi."
Fuxiang held her belly and swallowed her saliva: "Empress Li De is smart, so she won't believe it all. Although she has bad intentions, she did nothing and didn't get involved in anything. And Zhen Chongyi..."
"I'm afraid I believed it, but we left the palace early. When Concubine Jing was poisoned, we were gone, so we don't know."
Zhu Sizheng nodded: "Then tell me, why is this happening?"
"I don't know." Fuxiang said.
"I...I have thought about it." Cong Meng said.
"Back then, when the Su family overturned their case, she...she thought she could be promoted to a higher position and get a title, but she never got it. Although she was rehabilitated, she...still has no family background. It would be fine if her family background was not good, but it is not. But over the years, the harem has experienced ups and downs, and so many people have experienced ups and downs. She always felt that the emperor treated her..."
I dare not say more about the dream.
Chen Xiang said: "She thinks the emperor just treats her as a plaything."
The four of them stopped talking.
The person who recorded everything wrote it down, checked it, and sent it to Taiji Palace.
Qi Yixiu looked at it and couldn't say he was very surprised.
"Send those four people out. Tell them that if there is any news outside, their entire family will die." Qi Yixiu said.
Chusi agreed, thinking that it was a good thing that the four girls had gone out long ago, otherwise none of them would have escaped.
However, since the emperor has said so, I'm afraid the matter of the concubine cannot be done in a high-profile manner.
In the evening, Qi Yixiu arrived at Yufu Palace.
Shen Chuliu was enjoying the cool air. When he saw the emperor, he felt something was wrong as soon as he paid his respects.
Although the emperor still looked amiable, she could tell that he seemed a little unhappy. "What's wrong with the emperor? Are you tired?"
Qi Yixiu waved his hand and asked Chusi to hand the interrogation file to Shen Chuliu.
Shen Chuliu took it doubtfully, looked at Qi Yixiu and then opened it.
He frowned, then looked at Qi Yixiu after reading it: "Why?"
Qi Yixiu shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
"Haha, I'm not surprised either." Shen Chuliu threw that away and poured tea for the emperor.
"When she had just had a miscarriage, I was on good terms with her, so I went to visit her. At first glance, she looked like she was in great pain but couldn't cry. Although it was very realistic, I felt something was strange at the time, but I couldn't tell why."
"At that time, the Feng family was still at its peak. I almost got into trouble because someone close to the Feng family poisoned the poinsettia. Then it was her. No matter how bad the Feng family was, the emperor couldn't just ignore it. The downfall of the Su family was also related to the Feng family. I have always understood this way since then."
"But now it seems that she is actually cooperating with Empress Dowager Feng?" Shen Chuliu shook her head.
"You know a lot." Qi Yixiu looked at her.
Shen Chuliu smiled, leaned against him and said nothing.
Who doesn't have a secret in the harem? The emperor squeezed her hand and said, "Tell me, how should I deal with her?"
Shen Chuliu laughed: "Your Majesty is testing me again."
However, she is no longer the little concubine she used to be.
"What are you talking about?" Qi Yixiu laughed, but he didn't try to test her.
"Since the emperor asked me, I will say that the matter of Concubine He involves too many people, including Empress Dowager Feng. The dead are gone, and there is really no need to involve too much. The Su family has also been rehabilitated. If the matter of Concubine He is told, the things she has done are enough to kill all nine generations of her family. At that time, what should the Su family do? Didn't the emperor rehabilitate their family in vain?"
Shen Chuliu shook her head and said, "I really don't know what to say. When she was still a concubine, she wanted to clear Su's name with all her heart and eyes. It was so hard to clear her name, but then she went to defile it again."
"The Su family was wronged back then, but what about now?" Qi Yixiu snorted and didn't finish his words.
Shen Chuliu also guessed that, according to the emperor's logic, the Su family was wronged at first, but now these things have come out.
The fate of the Su family back then was not unfair.
But she thought it was still unfair.
But whether it's unfair or not, that's it, about He Fei and Su He.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. How have you been these days?" Qi Yixiu asked.
"That's it." Shen Chuliu smiled.
Damage to the stomach and intestines is not actually that serious, but that kind of poison will only harm the stomach and intestines and will not cause immediate death.
Therefore, Shen Chuliu can only take care of her body, slowly and carefully.
Seeing that she didn't want to talk, Qi Yixiu just sighed and said, "I will not bypass the Su family. This is also justice for you."
Shen Chuliu nodded.
Three days later, a eunuch serving Concubine He went out of the palace on business and never came back.
Later it was found that he had run away.
Everyone in the harem was shocked. Is there such a thing? It turned out that Concubine He asked this person to go out to buy something and took a hundred taels of silver.
Although this eunuch is not as respectable as the head eunuch, he should not be short of money. The final conclusion is that he probably doesn't want to serve anymore.
Eunuchs are different from palace maids. Palace maids can go out if their masters show mercy, but eunuchs can only serve until they die.
Concubine He felt a little uneasy, but there was nothing she could do.
It is impossible to ignore the missing eunuchs in the palace. If everyone follows suit, wouldn’t it be a mess? So the imperial guards were dispatched to capture the eunuchs.
Two days later, the eunuch was found outside the imperial city, but his body was robbed. He must have been beaten half to death and then abandoned in a deserted place, so he died like that.
