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 harbored many complaints, they had no choice but to cooperate with His Majesty's investigation under His Majesty's unquestionable order and the Queen Mother's tacit approval, even though she didn't say it explicitly.
After all, Concubine Chunshu lost her unborn royal heir because of this incident.
This time, His Majesty made such a big fuss that he even demoted the Imperial Concubine to the rank of Concubine for the sake of 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 and walked briskly into the hall, excitedly saying, "Master, His Majesty and the Queen Mother have finally reached a conclusion on your matter!"
Miaoyun's eyes flashed with an unconcealable smile.
"Master, during the interrogation of the concubines this time, Eunuch Anshun made quite a few hilarious jokes."
"I heard that Anshun initially discovered that Lin Ronghua had arranged for a palace maid to push down another palace maid after the performance at the Queen Mother's banquet. But in the end, it was confirmed that it was Concubine Chu who deliberately framed her."
Having said that, Miaoyun shook her head slightly.
"Now, Concubine 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?"
"It was during the Queen Mother's banquet that Lady Chu noticed the rash on your body and guessed you had come into contact with the juice of the amaryllis. After all, our people had revealed this to Lady Chu."
Miaoyun spoke slowly, nodding slightly as she spoke.
"Then Lady Chu wanted to use your trick to sabotage the Imperial Concubine's birthday banquet."
"If you hadn't been able to control yourself and had a fit at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, Concubine Chu wouldn't have intervened. But you kept holding it back, so Concubine Chu sent a palace maid to expose your skin poisoning."
"This way, they ruined the birthday banquet that the Imperial Concubine hosted for the Empress Dowager, and also took the opportunity to frame Lin Ronghua for the incident. This is truly a brilliant plan, killing two birds with one stone."
However, when Miaoyun said this, a look of doubt involuntarily appeared on her face.
Thinking about it, she asked, "But this servant really doesn't understand why a little beauty would take such a risk to frame the imperial concubine?"
Su Jingyao laughed softly.
"Miaoyun, the Imperial Concubine sometimes doesn't think straight. When she gave these noble ladies such low positions, she should have expected that they would naturally harbor resentment towards 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.
Perhaps she also noticed that she was holding her belly from time to time. Could it be that Lady Chu guessed 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 mixed up, real and fake, 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, disappearing 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, her expression became slightly unnatural.
After a pause, he said, "At first, Your Majesty was planning to banish Concubine Chu to the cold palace, but unexpectedly, Concubine Chu was 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 couldn't determine what the juice on the palace dress was. However, I secretly had someone remind Anshun, and Anshun then suspected the Amaryllis was from above."
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 in the end, I don't know what happened, but Anshun and Jinhua still convicted Shen Ronghua. Shen Ronghua has now been demoted to a concubine and has been moved from the side hall of Yufu Palace to a smaller pavilion in a more secluded area."
Miaoyun said slowly, but she was thinking in her heart, why was Lin Ronghua framed by both sides? Is it because she is more favored among the newcomers, so she is easily 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 really full of hidden talents.
