Chapter 68
Shen Ting withdrew from the hall, his footsteps were still a little light, and Si Ningchi's words seemed to be still echoing in his ears, with his cold and flamboyant, yet so casual appearance, she never thought of doubting him.
The assassination of Si Ningchi made the palace lively for a while, and many people in the open and in the dark were asking about the whole story.
When the concubines went to Fengwu Palace to pay their respects within two days, they found that the guards inside and outside Fengwu Palace had sent a lot of guards, obviously this was the emperor's intention.
Concubine De thought she could finally make Si Ningchi suffer a little bit, but it's really an eye-opener!
But I didn't expect that when I saw Si Ningchi, I saw that the empress empress sitting in the high position was as perverse and glamorous as always, she didn't look frightened at all, she was so glamorous in a gorgeous dress and phoenix robe, she didn't look like she had just been assassinated man?
"My concubine pays respects to the empress." The concubines bowed their heads in salute with different expressions.
"Let's all sit down." Si Ningchi raised his eyes and said with a smile: "It's a trivial matter, why do you bother all the younger sisters to come and visit?"
"It's good that the empress is fine, the concubines and others must see the empress with their own eyes to feel at ease." Concubine Li looked at Si Ningchi in amazement and said, "The assassin has been caught?"
"Concubine Li has a heart." Si Ningchi looked down at Concubine Li with a smile and said, "The assassin has already been executed, so you sisters don't need to think about it."
"I heard that the assassin was a court lady?" Concubine Xian pursed her lips and said with a faint smile: "How dare a little court lady have the guts to assassinate the empress? I don't know...but she was ordered by someone?"
"Empress, although the assassin has already been executed, it is necessary to investigate thoroughly to avoid further incidents." Concubine Xian looked at Si Ningchi, lowered her head slightly, and said, "Empress, your phoenix body is precious, and you have not been injured this time. If there is really someone behind the scenes, it will inevitably be in danger again."
"What Concubine Xian said is that the empress must investigate this matter carefully." Concubine De took a look at Concubine Xian, then looked at Si Ningchi and said seriously.
Si Ningchi looked down at the two of them, but she didn't know when the two of them paid so much attention to her?
She didn't ignore the kindness of the two, and followed their words, saying that she would investigate the whole story thoroughly.
In fact, on the surface, the matter is very clear. Xi'er killed Si Ningchi because of Meizhi's expulsion from the Xuanming Palace. Desperate to assassinate the queen.
There are causes and effects, which seems to make sense.
But after careful investigation, you will find that Xi'er is not very courageous, and Meizhi is still alive and well despite being expelled. If the two are really sisters, what Qian'er wants to do should not be to assassinate the queen , it should be to keep a low profile and find a way to get Meizhi back.
It is obvious that there is something weird about such a radical means of revenge.
"You mean, Qian'er went to Yuhua Palace the night before the murder?" Si Ningchi fiddled with the phoenix hairpin on the jade plate and raised his eyes. Yuhua Palace is the residence of Concubine Shu.
"Yes." Su Yongde bowed his head and said hastily: "Qian'er is a maid of Xuanming Palace, why did she go to Yuhua Palace for no reason?"
"It seems that this palace has to see this Concubine Shu." Si Ningchi squinted his eyes with his chin propped up, thinking about something, when he saw Shen Ting walking in from the outside, and bowed slightly to her She said: "Your Majesty, Concubine Shu is asking to see you outside."
Yo, come right now?
This is the first time that Si Ningchi saw this perennially ill concubine Shu since she entered the palace. The woman who walked into the palace was a little thinner than she imagined, with fair skin that seemed to be shining, and even a complexion. They were all a bit pale, but those eyes were exceptionally bright, not like the lifeless feeling that people who have been ill for a long time have.
Concubine Shu is wearing a lotus blue satin dress with a slender waist, and she doesn't wear too much jewelry, but she has a simple and elegant attitude of a lotus flower.
"The concubine sees the empress." She lowered her eyes and bowed her knees to salute, her tone was soft and a bit unique to Jiangnan women, and the way she bowed her head showed a kind of tenacity that she didn't want to bow down.
"My empress forgive me, my concubine has not recovered from her illness for a long time, it is my concubine's fault that I have delayed coming to pay my respects to my empress." Concubine Shu said as she slightly bent her knees and lowered her waist a little bit, respecting the etiquette of being polite It's hard to pick a mistake.
"Since Concubine Shu is ill, why did she take the initiative to come to Fengwu Palace today?" Si Ningchi relaxed, and looked at Concubine Shu's posture with a smile, she was very confused. She thought Concubine Shu was planning to lock herself up The one who died in the palace.
"The concubine misses the empress in her heart, but she has been ill and unable to stay in bed for a long time. Now that there is a slight improvement, I dare not delay in the slightest. It is the concubine's duty to come to pay her respects to the empress." Concubine Shu lowered her eyes and said, After standing there for a while, his body was already a little shaky.
Si Ningchi didn't want Concubine Shu to come to pay her respects on the first day, so she belched in Fengwu Palace.
She raised her hand to call for a seat, Concubine Shu thanked her in a low voice, she sat down on the small chair with downcast eyes, then raised her eyes to look at Si Ningchi and said: "This concubine came here today not only to greet the empress, but also for There's another thing."
Si Ningchi raised his chin and smiled, "Oh? What's the matter?"
Concubine Shu breathed a sigh of relief, pursed her lips, turned her head and nodded to the maid standing beside her, and then Si Ningchi saw Meizhi being brought up.
Concubine Shu glanced at Meizhi indifferently, then raised her eyes to Si Ningchi and said: "A few months ago, the servants in the concubine's palace were transferred, and she entered the concubine's Yuhua Palace."
"A few days ago, my concubine heard that the empress was assassinated, and after careful questioning, I learned that the assassin had something to do with her." Concubine Shu said in a low voice with a bit of remorse: "The concubine dare not neglect, last night It has been found out that the person who assassinated the Empress was instructed by her, so I specially brought this person here today to plead guilty to the Empress."
"Yu'an Palace is not strictly governed, and the empress was assassinated." Concubine Shu glanced at Meizhi and said with downcast eyes: "The servants and concubines were sent here for the empress, and the judgment of the crime is entirely up to the empress."
Meizhi knelt down in front of the hall, her face turned pale after hearing Concubine Shu's words, she raised her eyes tremblingly and looked at Si Ningchi, she was even more frightened, she hurriedly shook her head to defend herself: "No, not a slave Instigated! Not me!"
Si Ningchi looked at Meizhi's raised eyebrows, and seeing Concubine Shu's attitude of not interfering at all, he also understood that this matter might have nothing to do with her, and she didn't care about Meizhi's life or death at all.
"It seems that it's my fault that your mouth isn't sewn up." Si Ningchi looked down at Meizhi and smiled, "You can even instigate others to commit murder, you're quite capable."
"The last time the emperor exonerated you, I didn't want to care about it."
