Concubine Wei asked Hongmian to investigate. In less than half an hour, Hongmian had found out everything clearly. She first confirmed whether the fetus would be difficult to deliver if it was too big, and then she confirmed the origin of the chef, as well as the food prepared for Concubine Xian every day, etc.
This chef not only prepared many appetizing foods for Empress Xian, but also many nourishing and medicinal foods. On the surface, it was all for Empress Xian's benefit and to make her eat more, but it was also because of this that the fetus in her belly was as big as that of others when they were about to give birth in less than six months.
There was also a problem with the personal maidservant around Concubine Xian. She often persuaded Concubine Xian to rest more in the palace to protect her pregnancy and not to move around too much. Even if Concubine Xian listened to the Imperial Concubine and went out once every five or six days, the maidservant would persuade her to go back and rest when she saw that Concubine Xian was tired.
When Liu Wuyou met Empress Xian yesterday, she had only been walking in the Imperial Garden for less than a quarter of an hour.
Concubine Jing seemed to be the mastermind behind everything, but there was someone behind her. Concubine Wei wanted to find out the truth with drastic measures, but Concubine Jing secretly jumped into the well and was dead when she was pulled out.
Yinhua recounted everything that had happened, and finally said in confusion:
"This Concubine Jing lives in Yaohua Palace, and logically, she should be under the care of Concubine Wei. Why is she so against Concubine Wei? She was exposed, but she committed suicide out of fear of punishment without even making an excuse? If she's not afraid of death, what else is there to be afraid of? I really don't understand."
Yinhua is a straightforward person and always thinks directly. Naturally, she can't understand the twists and turns in the harem.
Liu Wuyou could understand a little bit, but she was too lazy to think about the rest.
"Okay, this matter has nothing to do with us, don't mention it again."
"Hehe, Liu Wuyou, this matter really has nothing to do with you?" Suddenly, Concubine Cang appeared at the door of Liu Wuyou's room.
Liu Wuyou's door was not closed, and she didn't deliberately lower her voice, so it was normal that she could be heard at the door.
She looked at Concubine Shang who came in angrily without asking any questions.
According to the rank, in the harem, those who are higher in rank than Liu Wuyou are concubines and above. Liu Wuyou does not need to perform salutes for other people, but concubine Shang still needs to perform half a salute to Liu Wuyou.
"Otherwise, what does it have to do with me?" Liu Wuyou still sat there, looking at Concubine Shang with a faint smile.
Concubine Shang's eyes were red and swollen, and there were traces of tears on her face. It was obvious that she had just cried bitterly.
"Liu Wuyou! You vicious woman! Sister Jingpin has no grudge against you, why did you harm her like this? She just wanted to please the Imperial Concubine, so she went through all means to find a cook for the Imperial Concubine Xian. She sincerely wanted the Imperial Concubine Xian and her child to be healthy! You, you actually made malicious speculations and talked nonsense to the Imperial Concubine!"
"Now that Sister Jingpin is dead! You still have the nerve to say this has nothing to do with you?! Aren't you afraid that even if she becomes a ghost she won't let you go?!"
Yinhua stepped forward and stopped the emotional Concubine Cang in front of Liu Wuyou. Concubine Cang was originally delicate, and Yinhua didn't even have to use any strength. She just pushed her away lightly and she fell to the ground, looking so pitiful.
Liu Wuyou waved to Yinhua, and Yinhua moved aside.
"You might as well kill me too and let my sister Jingpin and I turn into evil spirits to seek revenge on you!" Cangpin was petite to begin with. She sat there with her head tilted back, staring at Liu Wuyou crying and angrily. She looked quite miserable.
Liu Wuyou looked down at her and said helplessly, "Think about who told you that I was the one who complained to the Imperial Concubine. Did she give you any evidence? You are accusing me without any evidence. I don't admit it."
"Yes, yes..." Concubine Shang nodded for a long time but couldn't say who it was.
