Chapter 471 Is Frost a spy?
According to Concubine Liang's personality, if she knew that the emperor suspected them, she would probably scold them for several days.
The emperor was already in a bad mood because of this matter. If the emperor knew about it, Concubine Liang would not be in a good mood.
She might even be punished.
Lady Ye was slow to react, but she was more thoughtful. After careful consideration, she felt that Concubine Shu was right: "Yes! Sister Liangfei, we should not cause trouble for the Queen. There might be eunuchs or guards coming to search the palace soon! You should be prepared and don't conflict with them. This must be the intention of the Emperor and the Queen."
Concubine Liang sighed: "The Queen Mother has so many disasters and difficulties."
When I plotted against the Queen Mother in the past, I thought she was so lucky. How come she always escaped, and it was the people who hurt her who were unlucky.
Now that I have a close relationship with her and have become sisters who can talk about anything, I know how much effort she has wasted to avoid these plots.
Just like before, everyone thought that hundreds of Kongming lanterns were launched at the same time, which must be a surprise from the emperor to the queen.
But the queen turned around and asked the emperor, and after getting a negative answer, she immediately realized that someone wanted to harm the two little princes.
She was always on guard.
Concubine Liang felt that the previous emperor and his wife had not done this, otherwise she would not have been unable to protect the two children.
Something big happened in the palace, and the birthday banquet for the two little princes ended hastily.
After the guests left, Concubine Liang was planning to go to bed. As expected by Noble Ye, the guards who searched the palace also came.
If Noble Ye had not reminded her that she had not even put away her private things, she would have been angry if she was searched.
However, the people who came to search the palace probably received the order from the Queen Mother, and did not throw things everywhere. Shuxiang led a few palace maids to clean up a little and restore it to its original state.
Shuxiang put away the clothes: "My Queen, the Seventh Prince and the Third Princess were murdered, why did the Emperor search our palace?"
Liang Fei glared at her: "Don't talk nonsense, why did he search my palace alone? Shu Fei's, Ye Guiren's, and several concubines in the harem must have been searched."
If she was the only one searched, she would go to Kunning Palace to complain tomorrow, but if the Emperor attacked indiscriminately, then there would be no problem.
Kunning Palace -
Many palace people were injured tonight, especially Nanny Lu, whose entire left arm had no healthy skin, and her hair was burned to her shoulders.
When the imperial physician applied medicine to her, she bit her lips and bled because of the pain.
Nanny Xiang was not much better either, her eyes could not open, and her face was covered with large areas of burns.
The two of them can be ruled out first, otherwise if the two of them wanted to harm the two young princes, the seventh prince and the third princess would have died long ago.
"Your Majesty, the white phosphorus powder was found in this room."
Jiang Xinyue raised her eyes to look over, and Shuangjiang widened her eyes: "That was my room."
Kunning Palace was silent, and no one dared to speak.
How could it be Shuangjiang?
Nanny Xiang and Nanny Lu both wanted to say it was impossible, but since it was such a big deal, they didn't dare to make a promise easily.
What if...what if it was Shuangjiang?
No one spoke on the scene, and the atmosphere was terribly quiet. Shuangjiang knelt down with a "thump" and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please judge. I used to have a bad background, but I was deeply favored by the master and had long since given up the dark and joined the light. I will never help outsiders to harm the two young princes. Please judge!"
She knocked her head on the ground. Every time she knocked, her forehead became red and swollen, and finally it bled: "I am innocent, those things are not my at all."
"Help her up."
The emperor waved his hand, and Tang Shiliang quickly helped her up: "Miss Shuangjiang, the emperor and the queen will not let any bad guy go, nor will they wrongly accuse good people, so don't get excited."
Xi Que was torn between her conscience and her desires. Her reason told her that she was her queen's person, and she should firmly protect the queen's interests, and would rather kill her by mistake than let her go.
But...
Shuangjiang's affection for her. Apart from Xiao Xiangzi, he was the best to her, and he often gave her advice, like a caring elder sister.
This was secondary. The most important thing was that Shuangjiang was very kind to the queen and several young masters. How could she be someone who would harm the young princes? It
was not right to say that she was a spy of the Jin Dynasty, right?
Shuangjiang was an insider planted by Ye, who was selected to enter the palace with her master. During the period, Ye threatened Shuangjiang with her family members and asked her to poison her master. Shuangjiang would rather hit her head against the pillar than harm her master.
Later, the whole family of Ye rebelled, and the woman was thrown into the dung bucket by the emperor and drowned. Since then, Shuangjiang has been serving the queen wholeheartedly.
It is impossible for Jin Guo to know in advance that her queen can become the queen and the emperor's favorite woman, and arrange the details for her queen so early.
Jiang Xinyue didn't speak just now not because she doubted Shuangjiang, but because she was recalling the little details that she had ignored and forgotten.
The floor of Kunning Palace had to be swept every day. It was impossible for such a large area of white phosphorus powder to accumulate over several days. It should have been done today.
This person not only had free access to Kunning Palace, but also won the trust of everyone in Kunning Palace. No one even noticed her entering and leaving Shuangjiang's room.
She won their trust, but was able to perfectly reduce her presence.
Jiang Xinyue had almost figured out who this person was.
But without solid evidence, she didn't want to make a fuss for the time being.
Just as she was about to speak, the girl Xi Que closed her eyes and knelt on the ground with a desperate expression: "Your Majesty, I believe Shuangjiang is innocent. I... I can guarantee it." She
was obviously scared to death, afraid that Jiang Xinyue would think she was betrayed, but she still did it. This is Xi Que, always speaking up for justice and sticking up for her friends.
The one Jiang Xinyue wants to protect and likes is also such a caring Xi Que.
"When did I say I don't believe in her?"
Why did the queen close her eyes, heartbroken, unable to accept Shuangjiang's betrayal?
Her expression was too obvious, Jiang Xinyue knew what she was thinking without asking.
"I was just thinking about something else."
She glanced at Xi Que, then walked towards Shuangjiang: "You are the person I brought up personally. I have absolute trust in you and all the palace maids in Kunning Palace. Even if you encounter such a situation again in the future, you must not kneel and kowtow. I will feel bad if you hurt yourself. What you have to do is to take good care of the little princes, just like Nanny Xiang and Nanny Lu did today, and protect their safety at all costs." "
We will obey the orders of the Queen Mother of Heaven."
To have such a master, the palace maids in Kunning Palace wanted to go back and thank the Bodhisattva for his mercy in giving them such a good place.
