Chapter 199 Investigation

For three days in a row, the emperor went to the Empress's Yikun Palace.

This is very abnormal!

For more than half a year, when Concubine Zhenxian was pregnant, the emperor did not favor anyone but stayed with Concubine Zhenxian.

Even when Concubine Zhenxian was in confinement, the emperor wanted to accompany her every day and had no intention of summoning other concubines to sleep with him.

It was not easy for Concubine Xian to finish her confinement, so how could it be possible that the Empress got the first chance?

On the night of the third day, the palace servants in the Yikun Palace heard a fierce quarrel in the Empress's bedroom.

With the sound of ding-ling and dangling, it was thought that the furnishings in the Empress's room were all in trouble.

This is the bad thing about the masters quarreling. If they are rewarded with those priceless cups, they can sell them for a lot of money!

Although it is said that the things in the palace are not allowed to be bought and sold, there are still black markets among the people who buy these things.

I have gone off topic...

Emperor Xuanwu and the Empress had a big quarrel, but because the palace servants, even Fenyun, were driven out at the time, no one could hear clearly what they were quarreling about, let alone why they were quarreling.

Jiang Xinyue read Xu Ying'er's confession letter at a glance. It said that the Empress asked her to sprinkle white phosphorus powder in the clothes of the wet nurse in Hexi Palace.

How could it be the Empress? She is not such an impulsive person.

She would believe more if it was Concubine Yu or Concubine De, or Concubine Rong and the Queen Mother.

The emperor held her hand and said, "Yuer, I know it's hard for you to believe, but I have asked the empress, and she has admitted it. In two days, I will ask her to hand over the Phoenix Seal and the Golden Book. You will be in charge of the Phoenix Seal, and Concubine De will be in charge of the Golden Book. How about you two take care of the palace affairs together?"

Was the emperor trying to change the subject?

Or was he using the palace power to compensate her?

Why?

She really didn't want to take care of the palace affairs, but Concubine De was insidious and cunning, and had many tricks. If she was allowed to take charge of the palace affairs alone, the situation would be very unfavorable to her.

Jiang Xinyue leaned softly in Emperor Xuanwu's arms, pointing at the words on the confession letter and said, "But...Xu Ying'er seems to have only admitted that the Empress asked her to put the white phosphorus powder in. Didn't Doctor Yan say that there was cotton wool soaked for more than a month? Who put the cotton wool in?"

The emperor didn't dare to look her in the eye, and looked away guiltily: "I have asked the Suspension Department to investigate, and there should be results soon."

Jiang Xinyue's smiling face suddenly became gloomy, but when the emperor looked at her again, she regained her smile, like a frightened little white rabbit, and nestled in his arms: "In this case, I am relieved." There

is more than one murderer, and it is definitely impossible to be the Empress.

What is the emperor hiding?

She didn't ask.

The emperor stroked her long hair hanging down her back with one hand, and thought that Yue'er was very lovable for this reason, and she never asked questions about things she shouldn't know.

"I still have important things to deal with. Yue'er has already left the confinement period. You can take Xiaotuanzi out to bask in the sun more often. The imperial physician said that this is better for Xiaotuanzi's health."

Jiang Xinyue certainly knew that basking in the sun can supplement calcium, and the child's body will be stronger.

She nodded: "I know. I'll take him to the Yu Garden later."

"Mother, are you in a bad mood?"

Not long after Emperor Xuanwu left, the fourth prince ran out from the side hall: "Who bullied mother? Xiaoman helped mother vent her anger."

Jiang Xinyue patted the fourth prince's head, moving very slowly, as if thinking about something important.

The fourth prince scratched his head: What does mother mean by this?

You must be dissatisfied with him for not growing up!

The fourth prince broke away from Jiang Xinyue's hand and trotted back to the side hall, shouting as he ran: "Grandfather, grandfather... I want to eat meat tonight, lots of meat."

The third prince said that eating more meat can make him taller, and if he grows taller and stronger, he can protect his mother.

Jiang Xinyue was awakened by his shouting, and ordered Shuangjiang, "Go to the clothing room and ask Fang Dianyi to come."

Nanny Cheng's clothes came from the clothing room. Since the emperor refused to tell the truth, she would go and check it herself.

No matter who it is, don't think it will be easy.

She believed that with the emperor's feelings for Xiaotuanzi, he probably hoped that the person who hurt him would be torn into pieces.

But the emperor is the ruler of a country, and he will move the whole body

if he wants to avenge his son. Even if he wants to avenge his son, he has to think about it for a long time and work out a perfect plan before proceeding.

But she is different. She is just a mother who almost lost her child. She wants revenge, and she can't wait that long.

Whoever makes her and her child hurt, she will make that person hurt immediately.

Fang Rumeng had heard some rumors, and when she came, she also brought the embroiderers who sewed clothes for Hexi Palace.

"Your Highness..."

Fang Rumeng led everyone to kneel down: "I have brought here all the people who have come into contact with Nanny Cheng's clothes from the beginning. Please interrogate them, Your Highness."

The maid who went to get the clothes was sent by Xi Que, a person trained by Xi Que herself. She had been checked many times and there was nothing wrong with her.

Then the problem was in the clothing room.

The morning sun gradually became brighter. The interrogation lasted from early morning to noon, and finally a suspicious person was found in the memory of an embroidered lady.

Ms. Jian from the clothing room.

Ms. Jian has been working in the Clothing Office for three years and has not been promoted. She finally waited for a vacancy, but Fang Rumeng got the position through the backdoor. Her own promotion is far away, so she has always been jealous of Fang Rumeng and often makes things difficult for her.

Although Fang Rumeng thinks she is fully capable of being the official in charge of clothing, and everyone in the Clothing Office recognizes her after seeing her ability, after all, she was able to be promoted so quickly by relying on the influence of her good sister, so she is also tolerant of the ladies in the Clothing Office.

However, she can resolve all the problems against her by herself. As long as they don't interfere with her work, she is too lazy to argue with them.

Now that it involves Consort Zhenxian and the Sixth Prince, she will not show any mercy.

Jiang Xinyue asked someone to "invite" Ms. Jian.

It would be more appropriate to say that she was captured rather than invited.

Ms. Jian had messy hair and was wearing a dull green uniform. She was carrying a small package on her back and was forced to kneel on the ground by Jiang Chuan: "Your Majesty, when I arrived at the clothing room, Ms. Jian was packing to leave the palace."

"I... I asked for leave to go home to visit my relatives."

"Asking for leave?"

Fang Rumeng frowned and looked at her: "You asked for leave, why didn't I know about it?"

Ms. Jian glared at her: "Are you the only one in the clothing room who can grant leave? Siyi Lin and Siyi Wang, Manager Xie and Manager Mo can all do it."

Fang Rumeng's face darkened: "Yes, Manager Xie and Manager Mo can do it, but I am above the Manager. If you ask for leave, the Manager should ask me for permission. I can only let you go after I agree."

Soon, the two Siyis and two Managers in the clothing room were invited over.
