Chapter 689 Rong Su Confesses Liu Wei!

As soon as the words "Puxiang Palace" were spoken, the queen's eyes tightened.

The old palace maid also knew that what she said was a bit unlucky, so she hurriedly lowered her head, but had no intention of taking back her words.

Having been in the House of Internal Affairs for many years, the old palace maid has seen a lot and met countless people, so she somehow knows a lot about the ways of the palace.

The old palace maid knew that even if the queen was unhappy, the death of Princess Qinyang was too sudden and there were no traces of the body. Under such circumstances, it was essential to do the right thing. People in the palace were talkative and had to calm people down. Yes, if you don't give the palace people an explanation, the harem will be in chaos sooner or later.

How could the queen, who holds the phoenix seal and is the mother of a country, bring chaos to the harem?

After the old palace maid finished speaking, she said no more.

The imperial concubine in that room was still crying so hard that her heart was broken. After hearing this, although she loved her daughter very much, she still couldn't help but said: "If not, please invite the master to come to the palace and have a look, empress."

After all, they are all people living in the palace. The one who went there today was Princess Qinyang, but even Princess Qinyang's biological mother was really afraid that if it was the fate of a devil, she might be the next victim.

The queen has not expressed her position, but in fact she wants to minimize the matter.

If we really invite people to perform rituals, the commotion will inevitably become even more uproar. By then, the deaths of the two princesses will directly become a rumor in the palace.

After thinking for a long time, the Empress did not say anything. She only asked people to send the imperial concubine back to the palace, and then ordered people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to place Princess Qinyang's body before returning to Zhaoning Palace.

Shu Zhen had been accompanying the queen. After the queen sent everyone else out, she asked Shu Zhen beside her: "What do you think?"

Shuzhen bowed respectfully and said: "Go back to your Majesty, if you want me to tell you, I don't believe in any evil ghosts seeking life. Princess Yuping either died in the palace, or her innocent soul is still alive, so how could she be in the palace?" ? Even in the palace, what does it have to do with Princess Qinyang? As you know, Princess Qinyang has a somewhat domineering temperament and prides herself on being noble, but she is only a teenage girl, even if she learns from the imperial concubine. No matter how much thought is put into it, could it be possible to learn and use it to take the life of Princess Yuping? And if the death of Princess Yuping has nothing to do with Princess Qinyang, then why does the soul of Princess Yuping have to be at odds with Princess Qinyang? "

"Where is the imperial concubine?" The queen asked casually, turning the gold-studded hollow nail polish on her finger.

Shu Zhen smiled: "Your Majesty, this is a joke, slave and maid. Not to mention the Imperial Concubine, all the empresses, nobles and concubines in this palace put together. You have to ask the slave and maid what they did and what they said at what time." , I can count them all for you. If the imperial concubine is related to Princess Yuping, how could I not know about it?"

As the mother of a country, the queen has fully demonstrated her thunderous skills. On the surface, she is a graceful and noble mother of the country. In private, she also knows everyone in the palace well. She knows herself and the enemy and is victorious. Since she wants to clear the harem and take charge of the concubines, she has to take matters into her own hands. Things are naturally indispensable.

Shuzhen was right. The concubines and the recently favored concubines had no direct conflict with Princess Yuping.

Because of this, the queen was still confused as to how Princess Yuping died, or even how Yuping came out of the palace.

But now, Qinyang is also dead, and every word explains that it is related to Yuping.

To be honest, it was just that the death was a bit strange, not that it was really caused by ghosts. The queen believed it was man-made more than ghosts.

It's just who does it, that's the problem.

Those who have conflicts with Qinyang and want to kill Qinyang?

At this moment, the queen thought of the news she had received yesterday, looked at Shu Zhen, and asked, "When did the Crown Princess leave the palace yesterday?"

Shu Zhen was stunned for a moment, guessed something after hearing this, and reported a time. That time was exactly the time for the Crown Princess to leave the palace directly after leaving Princess Qinyang's dormitory.

"You never came back after that?"

"As far as I know, no." Shu Zhen said firmly.

The queen exhaled and rubbed her brows with her fingers in relief.

Shuzhen saw this and took the initiative to press the queen's head to make her feel better.

"Don't make any noise about this beforehand, let alone involve any charming ghosts. Let's investigate first. I will talk to the emperor tonight. If the emperor can open his mouth and agree to the name of Qinyang's death from illness, it will be easy."

Shuzhen understood that the Queen meant to destroy everything.

Yes, it doesn't matter who the real culprit is, nor does it matter what the cause of death is. As long as the emperor doesn't care about this life, this life is not a life. Just say "died of illness", and all the follow-up will be solved, and it won't cost you anything. Brain, don’t bother with that.

But the key point is that the emperor may not agree.

After all, Princess Qinyang is one of the emperor's favorite princesses, and she still has some weight in the emperor's heart. Besides, there is a noble concubine by her side.

At the same time, the front is facing up, and the morning dynasty has just begun.

Today at court, many ministers felt that the emperor was absent-minded.

When it was nearly noon, the morning court finally ended, and everyone was about to leave when they heard Qi Fu say that the emperor had invited the prince to meet the seventh prince alone.

In the study room, Qi Fu brought the bird's nest and white fungus soup that had just been made in the imperial dining room. After delivering it to the emperor's case, he led a group of young eunuchs and maids to exit in a polite manner, and closed the door from the outside.

The door closed lightly, and only the father and son were left in the room.

The ninety-five-year-old man, who was over fifty years old, now looked tired. He rubbed his temples and looked at his two equally outstanding sons under the table.

"Do you know why I left you here?"

The two shook their heads and claimed not to know.

Emperor Qian Ling's sharp eyes flickered between the two of them, and he suddenly said: "Qinyang is dead."

Rong Ting and Rong Su raised their heads at the same time and looked at the Holy Emperor. When they were sure that their father was not joking, their expressions became subtle.

The prince spoke first and said: "Father, you said Qinyang is dead... dead?"

Emperor Qian Ling didn't speak, but looked at the prince unmotivated.

The prince's pupils flashed and he frowned.

Emperor Qian Ling turned his gaze to Rong Su again, and saw that Rong Su just pursed his lips and stood there in silence. The emperor's face showed some thoughts, and he asked after a while: "Old Qi, I will hand over the Yuping case. It's been a long time, but do you have any clues?"

Rong Su replied: "Back to my father, there are some clues, but there are too few. I am still investigating."

"Is the suspect caught by Yuehai confirmed?"

Rong Su said: "The suspected murderer is not the real murderer. He is actually innocent. I will put him under house arrest first and wait for more information to be found out before making a decision."

"Oh?" Emperor Qian Ling raised his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes: "House arrest?"

Rong Su lowered his head and said, "Yes, due to the identity of the suspected murderer, I have some respect for him. In addition, since he has not yet been convicted of murder, I treated him favorably."

"I am a little curious about the person who can give you respect, Lao Qi. Speaking of which, Yuehai only knows that the suspect is cunning, changeable, and eloquent, so I should be more careful, but I don't know that the suspect and you, Lao Qi, Do you have another relationship?"

"We can't talk about friendship, but my father must have been impressed by this person. After all, this person was somewhat famous in Kyoto a few months ago."

"A reputation that even I know about?" Emperor Qian Ling frowned unconsciously.
