Chapter 377 Second Trial
Chen Qing wanted the matter to be investigated, while Li Bin wanted it not to be investigated. When she did it, she never thought that it would be so complicated. She only thought about what benefits she would get after doing it, and didn't think of anything else.
The more Xuanyuan Ling found out, the more panicked she became.
The commotion lasted most of the night. The lights in the palace were on and no one was quiet. No matter whether they wanted to sleep or not, unless they were really serious, everyone knew that until the matter was thoroughly investigated, no one could have a good night.
Xuanyuan Ling rubbed his brows, drank three cups of tea, and waited for the results of the interrogation from various palaces.
Zhao Hai had been ordering people to work for so long, and he had interrogated the servants in other palaces one by one, but he couldn't find out anything. He confirmed again and again that there was nothing, and he felt very upset. How could he not find out anything? How could he explain this to the emperor?
But he had no choice but to explain. Zhao Hai went to report to Xuanyuan Ling, who frowned.
Then the next moment, the Queen started to speak: "Have all the servants in the palace been interrogated? Why not interrogate those servants again? It seems that someone is deliberately deceiving us."
It was clear to Zhao Hai that he understood what was said. Why didn't he emphasize the servants in each palace?
Xiao Xia Zi was communicating with Zhao Hai about what he had, and the servants in other palaces were all brought out for interrogation, except for the servants in Zhaohua Palace who were not mentioned because the emperor had given instructions.
Now it actually involves Zhaohua Palace.
Xuanyuan Ling glanced at the queen solemnly. How could he not sense that the queen wanted to drag Shen Qing into the water? He didn't expect that this matter would involve Shen Qing without finding any other clues.
He naturally didn't believe that this matter was related to Shen Qing, so he made the day, but the Queen actually kept it in mind.
Xuanyuan Ling already hated the queen in his heart, and now it was even more so. He thought he was not an innocent person, but he wanted to drag others into the water.
"Reexamine it."
Zhao Hai had no choice but to interrogate him again, hoping that he could get something out of him this time, otherwise he was afraid that he would be in real trouble.
I'm afraid the Queen is going to make a fuss.
It’s okay if something happens to other people, but don’t implicate Zhaohua Palace.
Zhao Hai didn't think that this matter had nothing to do with Shen Qing. He had seen a lot in the palace. Human nature was the hardest thing to say. He felt that Shen Qing wouldn't do that. That was his feeling. Nothing was absolute. Just look at the evidence. If nothing could be found out, he would have to go find the virtuous concubine again. The emperor would definitely be displeased.
The matter has escalated to the point where the Fourth Prince was seriously injured, which already made the Emperor furious. If it involves the Zhaohua Palace, none of these servants would be in any good situation.
Zhao Hai conducted another interrogation, and the servants in each palace were all in a panic.
No one knows why there is another trial.
Shen Qing saw Xiao Xiazi frowning again with an unspeakable look on her face. As expected... She asked directly, "Didn't you find out anything?"
Xiao Xia Zi felt bitter in his heart: "Your Majesty is wise. We didn't find out anything before, so we come to disturb you again. Your Majesty, please see..." What he meant was that don't cause any trouble. No matter how bad it is now, the servants of Zhaohua Palace will be tried together with those of other palaces. This way, you can stay out of it.
But Shen Qing said, "You can try me at Zhaohua Palace."
Xiao Xia Zi wanted to persuade her a little. Wasn't it obvious that the Queen Mother was going to make a fuss about this matter?
"Did the emperor refute his previous words and interrogate Zhaohua Palace as well?"
Xiao Xiazi shook her head: "No."
Chen Qing curled her lips and said, "Since there is none, then I will cooperate with the emperor's previous plan. As for the queen, I will just have to explain it to her."
What? You suspect me, so I have to do something to lower myself? To prove myself? Since the Queen has opened the day, she is planning to pull her down. It doesn't matter what she does. It's better to be safe in Zhaohua Palace. Outside? What if the Queen arranges someone? She might as well keep it to herself.
When Xiao Xiazi heard this, he was stunned for a moment. He was confused. Of course, the emperor had already ordered him to do something wrong. He would have to interrogate him and report to him after the interrogation. If this person left Zhaohua Palace, wouldn't that be a violation of the emperor's previous order? Although it was not a big deal, it would be annoying to think about it afterwards.
The virtuous concubine is worried about the emperor. Xiao Xiazi thought: "I understand."
Afterwards, he investigated Zhaohua Palace carefully, and the testimonies were now very clear. Not to mention the testimonies of other palaces, the testimonies of Zhaohua Palace were the clearest.
Zhao Hai checked again, and originally there was still no progress, but now there was suddenly a breakthrough.
Hong Shang, who originally served Li Bin, suddenly remembered something. She usually did not do her job well, so she did not pay much attention to what Li Bin did. She was frightened at first and wanted to clear herself of everything. But after Zhao Hai interrogated her for the second time, she was still thinking about one thing in her heart. Li Bin did not like to eat cakes in the past, but today, not only did she ate some, she also thought it was delicious and left some behind.
She didn't know whether this was right or not, but since she remembered it, she just said it.
Zhao Hai was stunned for a moment when he heard Hong Chang's words, and then he realized something. He was a little bit unbelieving, but after thinking about it, he still reported to Xuanyuan Ling.
Xuanyuan Ling didn't expect that Zhao Hai would interrogate for such a long time and finally find out the truth about Concubine Li.
There is something fishy about the Fourth Prince's affairs. To be honest, it is so sad. Which concubine would want to harm the Fourth Prince, who is obviously not a threat to the Crown Prince's position in the future?
It was a little strange that nothing was found out the first time. Although it was night, there was always noise with people coming and going in the palaces, and there were people patrolling in the palace. It was difficult to sneak into Luhua Palace with the cakes silently and let these two people eat them. In fact, I didn't think about it at first, but if I thought about it carefully, it would be very suspicious if they were outsiders.
But if it is really Li Bin...
Xuanyuan Ling gritted his teeth and said, "Search the palace."
The Queen was also full of disbelief after hearing Zhao Hai's report. She just thought of Chen Qing. If she couldn't find out anything, she would definitely blame Zhaohua Palace. After all, if something happened, she would definitely not end up well. She had to plant the seeds of doubt in the Emperor's heart with her suspicion, otherwise she would be dragged out in vain. And in the end, she really found out something?
And it was Concubine Li?
Does she have the courage?
