During this half month, with the strong assistance of Aunt Jinhua, Anshun interrogated many concubines in the palace one after another.
Even though the concubines held many grievances in their hearts, they had no choice but to cooperate with His Majesty's investigation under His Majesty's unquestionable orders and the Queen Mother's tacit approval, even though she had not stated it explicitly.
After all, Concubine Chunshu lost her unborn royal heir because of this incident.
His Majesty made such a big fuss this time that he even demoted the Imperial Concubine to the rank of Concubine for Concubine Chunshu, imposed house arrest on her, and even took back her power to assist in managing the six palaces.
By now, it has become completely clear among the newcomers that His Majesty's most favored concubine is undoubtedly Concubine Chunshu.
Zhaochun Palace.
Miaoyun was filled with surprise, walked briskly into the palace, and said excitedly: "Master, His Majesty and the Queen Mother have finally come to a conclusion on your matter!"
There was an unconcealable smile in Miaoyun's eyes.
"Master, during the interrogation of the concubines by Eunuch Anshun, there were many hilarious jokes."
"I heard that Anshun initially found out that Lin Ronghua arranged for a palace maid to knock down another palace maid after the performance at the Queen Mother's banquet. But in the end, it was found out that it was Concubine Chu who deliberately framed her."
Having said that, Miaoyun shook her head slightly.
"Now, Miss Chu and Lin Ronghua, who had been close friends since they first entered the palace, have completely fallen out."
Su Jingyao raised her eyebrows slightly, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.
"Why is Miss Chu so sure that she will hurt me?"
"Lady Chu saw the rash on your body on the day of the Queen Mother's banquet and guessed that you had come into contact with the juice of Amaryllis. After all, our people had revealed this to Lady Chu."
Miaoyun spoke slowly, nodding slightly as she spoke.
"Then Miss Chu wanted to use your trick to ruin the Imperial Concubine's birthday banquet."
"If you had been unable to control yourself and had an attack at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, Concubine Chu would not have taken action, but you kept forcing yourself to hold it back, so Concubine Chu sent a palace maid to expose the fact that you had skin poisoning."
"This will ruin the birthday banquet that the imperial concubine is holding for the queen mother, and also frame Lin Ronghua for this matter. This is really a brilliant plan, killing two birds with one stone."
However, when Miaoyun said this, a look of doubt involuntarily appeared on his face.
Thinking about it, she asked, "But I really don't understand why a little beauty would take such a risk to frame the imperial concubine?"
Su Jingyao laughed softly.
"Miaoyun, sometimes the Imperial Concubine really doesn't think straight. When she gave these noble ladies such low positions, she should have expected that these ladies would naturally resent her after entering the palace."
After saying that, Su Jingyao suddenly frowned slightly again, as if something was wrong?
If Lady Chu had been paying close attention to her that day, she would have discovered the rash under her palace dress.
Maybe she also noticed that she kept covering her belly from time to time. Did Lady Chu guess that she was pregnant at that time?
So this is not killing two birds with one stone but killing three birds with one stone.
If she was really pregnant, it would not only attack the imperial concubine and frame Lin Ronghua, but also make her lose the child.
After all, she and Miss Chu also have a grudge.
When Concubine Chu and Concubine Shangguan had a dispute, she helped Concubine Shangguan and even sent Concubine Chu's personal maid to the Ministry of Punishment for a period of time. I think the maid must have suffered a lot.
Su Jingyao gave a disdainful smile.
Things in the harem are all real and fake, true and false, so why do we have to get to the bottom of it?
Her biggest target in this incident was Ling Yue, so it didn't matter even if Jun Zechen didn't find out other things.
The muddier the matter is, the better it is for her.
As for the other concubines who took advantage of the incident, she would deal with them one by one later.
A hint of ruthlessness suddenly flashed across Su Jingyao's eyes, and it disappeared in an instant like a flash of lightning.
Soon, her eyes returned to calmness, and then she asked.
"What is the punishment for Miss Chu?"
When Miaoyun heard this, the expression on her face became a little unnatural.
After a pause, he said, "At first, your majesty was going to banish Concubine Chu to the cold palace, but he didn't expect that Concubine Chu would be pregnant!"
"Hehe, you're lucky." Su Jingyao's lips curled up with a hint of sarcasm.
"So Miss Chu was just imprisoned in the Yutang Palace." Miaoyun continued.
"Well, what about the matter where the embroidery pattern for my palace dress was stained with amaryllis?" Su Jingyao asked casually.
"Master, Amaryllis is indeed very rare. Even the imperial physician could not determine what the juice on the palace dress was. However, I secretly asked someone to remind Anshun, and Anshun then suspected that it was Amaryllis."
Miaoyun spoke softly, frowning slightly as she spoke.
“After that, Anshun’s investigation went more smoothly. This matter involved Shen Ronghua, but the funny thing is that this matter also involved Lin Ronghua.”
"But I don't know what happened in the end, but Anshun and Jinhua still convicted Shen Ronghua. Shen Ronghua has now been demoted to a concubine and has moved from the side hall of Yufu Palace to a smaller pavilion in the back."
Miaoyun said slowly, but she was thinking in her heart, how come Lin Ronghua was framed by both sides? Is it because she is more favored among the newcomers and therefore easy to be framed?
"Yeah." Su Jingyao nodded slightly.
This Lin Ronghua must be no simple person. How could he escape unscathed?
Ye Ronghua was not involved at all, and the new group of newcomers were truly full of hidden talents.
