In Zizhu Garden, it was still a peaceful scene as usual.
Suddenly, the door of Zizhuyuan was violently kicked open.
Immediately afterwards, Concubine De and her party entered the Purple Bamboo Garden.
"Sister-in-law, please!"
Jiang Chunxiao was at the front, getting out of the way.
Seeing the fierce concubine De, all the servants in Zizhuyuan did not dare to move.
However, at this moment, a maid secretly entered the house and came to the door of the secret room.
Dang Dang Dang!
In the secret room, there was a rapid knock on the door, and Dai Meiyue frowned.
"Concubine Rong, the Queen is here!"
This urgent sound made the people in the secret room feel on pins and needles for an instant.
Dai Meiyue immediately winked at the maids and asked them to hide the mulberries.
However, at this moment, Concubine De had entered the house.
Without saying a word, Jiang Xiawei directly controlled the maid who secretly conveyed the message, and then placed the Xiuchun knife on her neck.
"Are you really in such a hurry?" Jiang Xiawei asked coldly.
The maid did not dare to speak and looked at Concubine De nervously.
"Where is that bitch Li Qingrong now?" Concubine De asked directly.
In the secret room, Concubine Rong heard Concubine De's voice, and her face instantly turned pale.
After seeing the maid hiding the mulberries, Concubine Rong's mood became more stable.
Outside the secret room door, Jiang Chunxiao looked at the secret door behind the maid, his eyes flashing.
Then he stepped forward and motioned to Jiang Xiawei to take him aside.
Jiang Xiawei grabbed the maid's collar and threw it directly to the guards behind, asking them to control her.
As Jiang Chunxiao gently placed his hand on a mechanism, the door to the secret room slowly opened.
…
Tai Chi Hall, in the Imperial Study Room.
"Your Majesty, there is a situation at Fengyi Palace." Di Yunhao entered the imperial study and reported it immediately.
"what happened?"
When Jiang Qiulu heard that there was something going on at Fengyi Hall, he immediately became alert and his body stood up involuntarily.
"According to the report from the Jinyi Guards, the Queen has just taken all the guards from Fengyi Palace to Yaohua Palace."
"It didn't take long, and now we are in Zizhuyuan again." Di Yunhao said.
"Zizhuyuan? Where is Dai Meiyue's residence?" Jiang Qiulu asked.
"Exactly!"
Jiang Qiulu was investigating the assassination that day, but something like this suddenly happened today.
"Something must have happened to Concubine De."
"Donglin, Yunhao, let's go there."
Then Jiang Qiulu led the people and headed towards Zizhuyuan.
At this time in Zizhuyuan, Concubine De had already entered the secret room.
"Dai Jieyu, so you are here." Concubine De first turned her attention to Dai Meiyue.
"Why did the Queen come here with so much force?" Dai Meiyue did not answer Concubine De, but asked instead.
"I heard that Concubine Hua's personal maid is missing."
"As the person in charge of the harem, I cannot shirk such an important matter."
"So please cooperate with Dai Jieyu. Is there any problem?" Concubine De asked.
"The Empress really has all the power in the harem."
"I wonder if the Queen's actions today will reach the ears of Your Majesty and the civil and military officials of the entire court."
"What would you think?"
At this time, Concubine Rong's voice suddenly came, and everyone looked at Concubine Rong behind Dai Meiyue.
Concubine Hua next to Concubine De wanted to retort, but Concubine De stopped her.
"Someone is missing in the harem. I am leading people to investigate the matter. What's wrong?"
"It's you, why are you here?" Concubine De asked.
"We two sisters are here to have a heart-to-heart talk. The Queen won't even have to take care of this matter, right?" Concubine Rong said in a strange tone.
"Have a heart-to-heart talk? A heart-to-heart talk in a secret room?"
"I'm so excited." Concubine De said with a sneer.
"When it comes to this matter, please allow me to say a word, concubine."
"A few days ago, Dai Jieyu's maid disappeared, but there was no movement from the Queen."
"Now that Concubine Hua's maid is missing, the Queen will do this."
"Is it possible that there is some preference for one and some treatment of others differently?"
At this time, Concubine Rong took advantage of every opportunity and did not miss any opportunity to refute.
She even slapped her down and began to criticize Concubine De's behavior.
Suddenly, De Fei laughed.
Not a gentle laugh, but a hearty laugh, as if he had heard something happy.
Seeing Concubine De in this state, Concubine Rong and others suddenly became confused.
"Since you want to ask, I will tell you."
"As a royal concubine, Concubine Hua has a noble status. Her maid is missing, and this palace will do its best to investigate."
"And your life, Dai Meiyue, is worthless, and your status as a maid is even more worthless. I don't care about it."
"Are you two satisfied with this answer?"
After finishing speaking, Concubine De looked at the two of them with a mocking look, as if she didn't take them seriously at all.
Upon hearing this, the two of them suddenly widened their eyes.
Because the two of them really didn't expect that Concubine De would be able to say such words.
How could this be said by a queen? It's completely a bandit-like communication.
Suddenly, Concubine De's eyes locked on Dai Meiyue's hand.
Less than two breaths later, Concubine De's eyes turned murderous.
"I don't have time to chat with you."
"Dai Meiyue, I want to ask you."
"Is Mulberry still here with you?" Concubine De asked.
"Not here." Dai Meiyue answered immediately without thinking.
"I will give you one last chance."
"As long as you tell the truth, I will spare your life." Concubine Rong said.
"Even if the Queen asks the question a hundred times, the answer will be the same."
"Is the Empress ready to surrender?" Dai Meiyue showed no fear and openly confronted Concubine De.
"Very good, very brave!"
"Come here, capture Dai Meiyue and send her to the Zhenfu Department!"
Following Concubine De's order, several guards behind her stepped forward and controlled Dai Meiyue.
"Wait!"
"Empress, you can arrest people, but you have to pay attention to the evidence."
"Don't think that because you have become the queen, you can do whatever you want." Concubine Rong stood up to stop her.
"Humph, if you didn't tell me, I would have almost forgotten about you."
"Then I will let you know clearly."
"The evidence is in Dai Meiyue's hands!" Concubine De said coldly.
Everyone's eyes immediately focused on Dai Meiyue's hand.
On her ring finger, she was wearing the ring given to Sangbai by Concubine De.
"This ring is a gift from this palace to Mulberry."
"You said you have never seen a mulberry, so how did this ring get to you?" Concubine De asked.
At this time, Dai Meiyue suddenly trembled all over, and Concubine Rong's face also changed wildly.
I didn't expect this to be exposed like this on this ring.
"I'm afraid these rings are just the same style, it doesn't mean anything."
"Queen, please don't use this non-existent evidence to confuse the public."
Concubine Rong reacted quickly and immediately came up with a reason to refute.
