Chapter 790 Suicide
When Xiao Xixi and Luo Qinghan were half asleep, they were suddenly woken up by someone.
Eunuch Chang's voice came in through the door.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something happened in the cold palace!"
Under normal circumstances, Xiao Xixi would definitely ignore him, but tonight she woke up unexpectedly.
She rubbed her eyes and asked someone to come in and help her change clothes.
Luo Qinghan also got up.
Seeing Xixi's dazed look, he spoke gently.
"Just keep sleeping and let someone go check out what's going on."
Xiao Xixi said while yawning.
"No, I have to go there myself tonight."
Luo Qinghan: "Did you expect something to happen tonight?"
Xiao Xixi: "I just want to accept your good words."
Luo Qinghan: ???
Xiao Xixi: "You said before that Concubine Jing might destroy the evidence after she returns. Now you are right."
Luo Qinghan frowned.
There were two people living in the cold palace, namely Concubine Lu and Concubine Shao.
The only person who could be related to Concubine Jing was Concubine Shao.
It seems that Concubine Jing couldn't hold back and took action after all.
The two quickly changed their clothes and walked out of the bedroom.
The temperature at night is lower than that during the day.
The cold wind blowing in Xiao Xixi's face made her shiver, and the remaining sleepiness in her mind was instantly frozen away.
Luo Qinghan pulled her and walked faster.
The two of them soon arrived at the side hall.
In the side hall, Shang Kui had been waiting for a while.
"I pay my respects to His Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty the Imperial Concubine."
Luo Qinghan and Xiao Xixi sat down at the top, and Baoqin served them hot tea.
Xiao Xixi took a sip of hot tea and felt much warmer.
She held the teacup in her hands, warmed her hands with the heat, and said, "Tell me, what's going on?"
Shang Kui recounted the entire story of how Concubine Shao was murdered.
"Ms. Shao is very ill and looks very bad.
The eunuch who committed the crime has been caught. He confessed that it was a palace maid named Zhier who asked him to kill Shao Xuanshi.
Zhier gave the eunuch a hundred taels of silver and a packet of drugs.
Xiao Xixi: "Where is Zhi'er?"
Shang Kui: "Yulin Guard went to her residence and found that she had hanged herself in the house."
Luo Qinghan frowned: "Another suicide by hanging."
The previous Huachun committed suicide by hanging himself, and now there is another Zhier.
And every time they were found out, they committed suicide.
This is too much of a coincidence.
Qingsong ran in hurriedly and knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Yingfu Palace just sent someone to deliver news that Concubine Jing committed suicide by jumping into the lake at night!"
Luo Qinghan and Xiao Xixi were both stunned.
Luo Qinghan asked: "Is the person dead?"
Qingsong said hurriedly, "She's not dead. Not long after Concubine Jing jumped into the lake, she was rescued. The imperial physician has been sent over. I heard she's still breathing."
Such a big thing happened in the middle of the night, I'm afraid the entire palace must have been alarmed.
Luo Qinghan had no choice but to go and take a look.
Xiao Xixi said, "I'll go with you."
Luo Qinghan nodded in response.
It was very cold at night. He stared at Xixi and made sure she was dressed warmly enough before taking her out.
The two of them rode in a carriage to Yingfu Palace.
Yingfu Palace was already in chaos.
Upon hearing that the emperor and the imperial concubine were coming, everyone hurried out to greet them.
The emperor and the imperial concubine entered the bedroom and saw Concubine Jing lying unconscious on the bed.
Concubine Jing's wet clothes had been changed, but her hair was still wet, her face was as pale as paper, her lips were bloodless, and her breath was very weak.
The emperor called the imperial physician to his side and asked about Concubine Jing's condition.
The imperial physician said, "Fortunately, she was saved in time. Concubine Jing's life is no longer in danger, but her body is still very weak and she needs to rest for a while."
The emperor glanced at Concubine Jing on the bed and asked in a calm voice.
"When will she wake up?"
The doctor said, "Very soon."
He took out the needle bag from the medicine box, pulled out the silver needle, and gave Concubine Jing a few injections.
After a moment, Concubine Jing slowly opened her eyes.
After a brief trance, Concubine Jing's eyes fell on the emperor.
She struggled to get up from the bed and wanted to pay her respects to the emperor.
"I pay my respects to His Majesty..."
Luo Qinghan said calmly: "You are still sick, no need to be polite, just lie down and relax."
Concubine Jing lay back down again, still looking at the emperor.
She choked with red eyes.
"I thought I would never see the emperor again in this lifetime."
Luo Qinghan ignored her sad and gentle look and asked calmly, "Why did you jump into the lake to commit suicide?"
Concubine Jing hurriedly said, "I did not commit suicide. I was pushed into the lake by someone."
Luo Qinghan: "Who pushed you?"
Concubine Jing shook her head: "I don't know.
I'm in a bad mood tonight and can't sleep, so I want to go out for a walk.
When passing by the lake, I stopped for a while.
Who would have known that in just a short while, he would be ambushed by someone else.
Someone pushed me from behind. Before I could see who that person was, I fell into the water.
After that, I passed out and didn’t know anything.”
While she was talking, Xiao Xixi had already walked around the room and finally stopped on the screen.
Xiao Xixi looked at the cloak hanging on the screen.
This is a dark green cloak with white fox fur on the edge and a branch of yellow plum embroidered on the hem.
She turned around and looked at Concubine Jing and asked.
"It's so cold, Princess Jing must have put on a lot of clothes when she went out to get some fresh air, right?"
Concubine Jing replied weakly, "Yes, I was wearing a lot of clothes, so my body kept sinking after I fell into the water. If Dong Ling and the others hadn't found me in time, I'm afraid I would have become a ghost by now."
Xiao Xixi pointed at the cloak hanging on the screen and asked.
"You're wearing it to go out for some fresh air tonight, right?"
Princess Jing didn't understand why she asked so carefully. She hesitated and shook her head: "No, I'm wearing another cloak."
Xiao Xixi didn't expose him, but asked with a smile.
"Where is that cloak?"
Concubine Jing: "You'll have to ask Dong Ling."
Dong Ling said hurriedly: "The cloak was dirty, I have already washed it."
Xiao Xixi smiled with an ambiguous tone: "Washing clothes in the middle of the night, you are really diligent."
Dong Ling's expression froze, and she said awkwardly, "The clothes on Concubine Jing are all soaked. It would be inappropriate to leave them there, so I'll have them washed."
Concubine Jing asked weakly, "I wonder what the Imperial Concubine's intention is in asking these questions?"
Xiao Xixi: "If I ask someone to go to the laundry department to get Concubine Jing's cloak now, I wonder if they can get it?"
Concubine Jing's eyes flickered. "It's just a cloak. Why does your Majesty insist on holding on to it?"
Xiao Xixi: "Because I'm curious, since Concubine Jing wore another cloak tonight, why is there grass on the hem of this cloak?"
She bent down, reached out and picked up a small blade of grass from the hem of her cloak.
…
