Chapter 240 Doubts
The queen sent someone to investigate in Lenggong, but found a fact that made her even more horrified. The imperial concubine was still living in Lenggong, and she didn't die? !

"What's going on here!" The queen slapped the table with her palm, stood up abruptly, walked to the court lady who came to report, and asked in a deep voice: "Are you sure the imperial concubine is still alive?!"

"Yes, this servant is acquainted with Xiao Fuzi who works in the Leng Palace, and today I took his place on duty, but found that the imperial concubine is still in the Leng Palace, fine and fine." The maid replied respectfully.

"This is impossible!" The empress did not dare to believe it. She clearly watched the imperial concubine drink the poison that day. After drinking that medicine, it would cause people to feel the pain of burning all five internal organs, and they would be gutted in a short time. And die, the imperial concubine drank so much, how could there be nothing wrong!

"Can you see clearly? Are you sure it's the imperial concubine?" Tang Nanny asked from the side.

"Yes, the slaves and maidservants can see clearly that although the imperial concubine is not the same as usual, you can still tell from the face that it is the imperial concubine." The maid nodded firmly and replied to the queen.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the court lady said this, the queen stared at her straight in her eyes, making the little palace maid's heart tremble, she looked at Nanny Tang at a loss, not knowing what she had done wrong, "Empress Empress..."

"You bitch!" Nanny Tang slapped the little palace maid in the face and scolded her sternly: "How long has it been since then, and you still call her a noble concubine! Don't you want to live anymore?"

The little palace maid was slapped abruptly, and she didn't care about the burning pain on half of her face. She quickly knelt down beside the queen's legs and begged for mercy in a low voice: "My lady... my lady, forgive me! My lady, please forgive me! This servant is unintentional." ...May I ask the empress to spare the slave this time..."

The queen looked at the little maid kneeling beside her legs and trembling, her originally cold eyes improved slightly, she looked at the maid coldly and said, "Get up, be careful next time."

"Thank you, ma'am! Thank you, ma'am!" The little maid hurriedly kowtowed to the queen.

"You shameless maidservant! Get out of here quickly! Don't be an eyesore here!" Tang Nanny scolded with a black face, and the little palace maid hurriedly rolled and crawled out after hearing the words.

"Nurse, you are too strict with these servants." The queen said to Mrs. Tang.

Nanny Tang put away the coldness on her face, and said softly to the Queen: "Your Majesty, your character is too soft, how can the people below you obey your Majesty? This servant is to build up your prestige for your Majesty, so that you can teach those dogs who have no eyesight to rely on others." Things dare not be disrespectful to the empress!"

"In this palace, you are the only one who treats me the best." The queen looked at the loyal Nanny Tang, and couldn't help but take Tang Nanny's hand emotionally, and said with red eyes.

"My Majesty, don't say that. As long as your Majesty is well, I will be fine. Your Majesty, you and your Highness are here. Everything your Majesty is doing now is for His Highness. In the future, His Royal Highness will be a great treasure. In the Queen's Temple That's the reward of suffering..." Tang Nanny held the queen's hand and helped the queen to sit on the main seat.

Hearing that Nanny Tang mentioned the prince, the queen smiled bitterly and shook her head. If she hadn't fought for the emperor's throne in the early years, she was injured and could no longer have children, and she had no choice but to pin all her hopes on the prince. It won't be difficult to move forward.

"The child of the prince, he only thinks about eating, drinking, whoring and gambling all day long. How can I pin my hopes on him?" The queen supported her head, thinking of the useless prince, she couldn't help shaking her head.

"Your Majesty, the prince is still young now. When he grows older, he will naturally become sensible and understand the empress' painstaking efforts." Seeing the empress' worried look, Tang Nanny also thought of His Royal Highness, who is in his 20s. At an old age, but addicted to Huajie and Liuxiang all day long, he is really a dou who cannot be supported.

"Young? Heh, you really flattered him." Seeing that Nanny Tang excused the prince, the queen smiled and shook her head and said, "The fifth prince is younger than him, why is the fifth prince able to work so hard and win the support of the old officials in the court?" The prince still doesn’t cherish his current position, how could he know that the throne under his buttocks is exactly the position that other people would want to sit on!” The queen said the prince, her face was full of hatred.

"Your Majesty..." Mother Tang obviously knew the prince's virtues, and she didn't know how to comfort the queen.

The queen waved her hand, squeezed the center of her eyebrows with the other hand, and said: "Forget it, don't mention the prince, you can go and investigate carefully again, what happened to the noble concubine? I clearly watched her drink the poison that day. , how could...could it be something wrong with the medicine?"

"Your Majesty, this medicine was tormented by the maidservant herself. The maidservant has been watching in the small kitchen all the time. If others want to do something, they have to go through the maidservant's eyes." Madam Tang shook her head.

Since several poisons are mixed together, it is natural that the less people know about the decoction, the better. Therefore, the queen left this matter to Aunt Tang. She was always in the small kitchen when decoction. Keep in mind, no one else came in the kitchen during this period, so there was no possibility that the medicine would be swapped midway.

When the queen heard this, her eyes were condensed and she pondered for a while, but she still couldn't think of anything, so she only told Nanny Tang: "Go and investigate, if there is any disturbance, please report back to the palace at any time."

……

"Master, as you expected, the Empress went to the Cold Palace to visit the imperial concubine...oh no, it's the Li family." Zitang said to Jin Changying, realizing that the imperial concubine had now been deprived of her position, she quickly changed her words.

"Oh? Really?" Jin Changying was sitting in the pavilion behind Cuihexuan. There was a jade chess set on the stone table in the pavilion. Jin Changying picked up a chess piece and placed it on the chessboard. He turned his head and looked at the chess record in his other hand, showing a thoughtful expression.

Su Yi, who was sitting opposite Jin Changying, heard Zitang's words, seemed to think of something, and asked Jin Changying without any trace, "Sister, what does the queen go to Lenggong to visit the noble concubine? Didn't my sister say earlier that the noble concubine and the noble concubine The empress is in the same position as water and fire, is it very inconsistent in the palace?"

"Children, why are you asking..." Jin Changying said casually, looking at the chess game in her hand that was a little curled up, and picked up another chess piece and played it in another place. She has been obsessed with it recently. For Go, I sent someone to the study to buy several chess books. It is quite interesting to play on weekdays.

"Yi Ren is just curious..." Su Yi pouted, looking at Jin Changying, blinking her big eyes, looking at Jin Changying eagerly.

Jin Changying finally pulled his eyes from the chess record and landed on Su Yi's face. Jin Changying patted Su Yi on the head with the chess record with a smile, and said, "It's just to verify the guess. It seems that my guess is right. All of this is the queen's handwriting."

"The queen's handwriting..." Su Yi was a little dazed when he heard it, and looked at Jin Changying with a very dazed expression.

"Silly girl, doesn't this mean that the queen is going to deal with the imperial concubine?" Jin Changying put down the chess record in his hand, and rubbed Su Yi's face vigorously.
