Chapter 509: The Snow Is Falling

Concubine Liang was found, and she was found in Youming Palace. No one lives in Youming Palace now, and it is in the northernmost corner of the palace. No one knows how she got there.

When they found her, she was shaking all over, and her whole body was dirty, as if she had rolled in the mud.

Concubine Liang was brought before the emperor, but she was still completely speechless, only trembling.

Seeing her like this, the emperor couldn't bear a couple after all, so he comforted her and asked, "Concubine Liang, do you recognize me?"

Concubine Liang raised her head slowly, the horror in her eyes didn't retreat, she kept twisting her sleeves in panic.

"Concubine Liang, this is the emperor, do you remember?" Eunuch Lu leaned over and asked lightly.

Concubine Liang stared at the emperor fixedly, and after a while, she suddenly let out a heart-piercing cry, "Your Majesty, please save this concubine, this concubine knows it's wrong, your concubine and father want to kill this concubine, my concubine I don't want to die!"

The emperor's fake face was useless, the red spots on his face became more and more clear, the brows became tangled, and his anger gradually rose.

After a long time, he said blankly: "Tell the imperial doctor!"

If Concubine Liang is either crazy, or someone instigates her.

However, if she is really crazy, a lunatic cannot instigate her. What she said must be true.

After the imperial doctor's diagnosis, Concubine Liang was indeed insane.

The emperor continued to investigate the affairs of the Leng Palace and summoned the guards of the Leng Palace and the Night King.

The Night King naturally told about the murder of the palace lady, because the palace lady was already dead and there was no way to track it down, but anyone with a brain could think that this palace lady was the person who had been placed next to Concubine Liang by Liang Taifu.

The anger in the emperor's eyes grew hotter. He could tolerate a group of people making trouble, but he couldn't tolerate them joining forces.

He knew very well what the consequences would be if the Concubine Gui's people joined hands with the people before Liang Taifu.

Not only could this not contain Murong Jie, but it would threaten him as the emperor.

After screened everyone away, Eunuch Lu asked softly, "Your Majesty, is it time to make an order?"

The emperor raised his head, "What is the order?"

"Your majesty, didn't you say yesterday that the crime of assassination should be borne by the concubine, and the punishment department is still waiting for the emperor's order." Eunuch Lu said.

The emperor was silent for a moment, "Leave it alone."

He raised his head, "What's the matter with the imperial concubine?"

"Going back to the emperor, the noble concubine picked up the seventh prince to accompany her, saying that she was bored in the palace."

"Other than that?"

"I left the palace and went back to the mansion yesterday, and stayed in the mansion for about an hour."

"Did anyone come to the palace during her return?"

"I didn't find it, but the gate of the palace was closed. After the imperial concubine entered the Qingning Pavilion, she did not appear until an hour later. The hidden guards who followed her found that there was no trace of the imperial concubine anywhere in the Qingning Pavilion. It disappeared for an hour out of thin air."

"It is impossible for a person to disappear for an hour, unless there is a secret passage leading directly to the outside of the Palace." The emperor was very clear about the building of the Prince Regent's Palace.

Eunuch Lu remained silent. Some things are confusing to the authorities but clear to the bystanders. The emperor thinks too much, but he can't think clearly. Those who are watching from the outside can see clearly.

It's just that they can't say anything.

"What's the news from King Nanhuai?" the emperor asked again.

"The news came back that I went to Sujiang Mansion from Qiaozhen, but now I should have left Sujiang Mansion."

"Is everything okay?"

"nothing!"

The emperor thought about it again, "Well, you go down first, let him wait at the Ministry of Criminal Justice, don't worry about closing the assassin's case, as for the imperial concubine, you can give her a pot of wine first, and see her reaction. "

"Yes, the old slave will do it now."

Half an hour later, Eunuch Lu came back to report: "Your Majesty, the wine reward has passed, but the noble concubine accidentally knocked her down."

"Accidentally knocked over?" The emperor sneered and waved his hand, "Okay, you go."

"Yes!" Eunuch Lu withdrew.

In the afternoon, Zian came to check his pulse.

The emperor had a few blisters on his mouth, and he felt pain even after taking the medicine, and he couldn't eat anything. Zi'an persuaded, "Your Majesty, nothing is as important as the body of a dragon. You have to think broadly about everything."

The emperor looked at her, "Princess, do you blame me a little bit in your heart?"

Zi'an smiled and shook his head, "Your Majesty, why do you ask such a question? My husband has already gone to the battlefield. What else do I care about? It's just fame. What's the use of fame for a woman?"

"You really think so?" The emperor felt that what she said was too impartial, and that people have selfishness.

Zian took out the golden needle and sighed softly, "It's out of the question to blame, and I don't dare, but I feel aggrieved in my heart, but after thinking about it carefully, I don't think there is anything to be aggrieved about. It's true that they don't like each other, there are too many things involved in it, and I can't explain it clearly at the moment, if I say, I don't have the intention of harming the imperial concubine, then I am truly wronged."

These words are equivalent to admitting to the emperor that if she had the chance, she would attack the noble concubine.

If such outrageous words were spoken in front of the emperor, if the emperor really wanted to talk about it, it would be a serious crime for Zian.

In other words, it was said before that no matter what the emperor thinks about the imperial concubine, he will definitely be angry with Zi'an and even convict him, but not now.

Because, he already felt the sense of coercion brought by the imperial concubine to the imperial court.

If his conjecture is confirmed and she colluded with Liang Taifu, then it will run counter to his original intention.

The DPRK and China were originally divided into three parties, which checked each other and reached a balance. Only then did he delegate power to Murong Jie. However, if the two parties merged, then this balance would be lost.

The consequences will be serious.

After Zian left, Eunuch Bao came in to wait on him, hesitated for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to believe the words of King Ye and Princess Regent, they may not have selfish intentions."

The emperor laughed strangely, "Really?"

Eunuch Bao said anxiously: "Yes, the Night King came to see the old slave before, and asked the old slave to speak before the emperor and speak ill of the noble concubine, but the old slave did not do so."

The emperor lowered his face, "Get lost!"

Eunuch Bao's face changed slightly in fright, and he bowed and retreated.

After leaving Xiwei Palace, the Night King was waiting for him at the corner again.

"My lord, according to my lord's instructions, I have said a few bad things about you and my concubine in front of the emperor."

"Eunuch Bao, I can't forget you!"

After finishing speaking, he walked away Shi Shiran.

Let Eunuch Bao go to sue and say bad things about him and the princess regent, of course it will have the opposite effect, because the emperor no longer trusts Eunuch Bao and believes that there was a collusion between him and the concubine. The concubine spoke, and attacked the Ye Wang and Zi'an, in the eyes of the emperor, it was ulterior motives.

Moreover, it would make him more suspicious and wary of the Concubine Gui.

In the evening, it started to snow.

The coldest in late spring is often the most severe, and the cold current sweeps across the city like sea water pouring in.

The emperor didn't eat tonight, but just took the medicine prescribed by Zian. He became more energetic and asked the imperial doctor to come over to check his pulse. The imperial doctor praised Zian's medical skills in front of him, and the emperor deeply agreed.

"If it wasn't for her, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to pass the year." He said with a slight sigh.
