Mo Qin frowned. Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of the question, he had to put the matter aside for the time being.
Concubine Shu and several babies disappeared from the main hall, and everyone gradually recovered.
Concubine Xian lay sickly in the emperor's arms, touching her abdomen with a weak hand.
"Your Majesty, I really haven't done those things. I don't know why the demon slayers are slandering me. I'm worried..."
Concubine Xiang paused for two seconds and frowned:
"I can take good care of the children by myself, and I hope that your majesty will prevent these demon slayers from appearing in front of me."
First, she was frightened, and then the deceased was released to slander her as the murderer. It was not too much for her to make this request.
The emperor agreed, "Okay, okay! I will definitely not let them appear in front of you. My beloved, you go back to your room to rest first, and leave it to me to handle it!"
Concubine Xiang was reluctant. She glanced at Mo Qin and the others, but still refused to leave until she heard that they were driven away.
What could the emperor do? Of course he could only wave his hand and said, "Someone, send these Taoist priests back."
The eunuch standing aside immediately stepped forward and made an invitation gesture toward the door, "Fellow Taoist Priests, please."
Concubine Xiang watched them leave with dim eyes, obviously dissatisfied.
Of course, Mo Qin and the others were not sent out of the palace, but back to their residence.
The emperor saw the dead concubine and the stillborn child with his own eyes, and believed that Mo Qin and the others did have some abilities.
As a man and an emperor, he certainly hopes that he can have many children and have excellent heirs in the future.
He didn't believe that Concubine Xiang was the murderer, nor did he think Mo Qin and the others would deliberately slander Concubine Xiang.
It makes no sense to have no grievance or enmity.
-
With this episode, I definitely can't go to the harem to investigate anymore today.
After returning to his residence, Mo Qin asked:
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Mo Qin's eyes wandered over Jiang Yisheng and Yao Yao.
Jiang Yisheng glanced at Mo Qin and couldn't help but feel aggrieved.
He was obviously his senior brother, why did Mo Qin talk to him in such a tone?
"Those harem concubines insulted me and Yao Yao for no reason, and even wanted to beat them. I just punished them a little. One concubine accidentally fell into the water, and I didn't expect that Concubine Xian was stunned."
Jiang Yisheng focused on the key points and said he didn't want to mention it any more. After he finished speaking, he started to change the topic.
"What about you? What happened to that woman? Is it really Concubine Xian who did it?"
Mo Qin felt weird after hearing Jiang Yisheng's words.
Jiang Yisheng has always talked about kindness, and no matter how you think about it, he should not be someone who would casually conflict with others or start a fight.
Can't you say a few words about this first?
Mo Qin asked some more details, and Jiang Yisheng answered.
"Junior sister, do you think I was too impulsive today?"
"You don't know what they said about Yaoyao! They actually want to hit someone..."
Jiang Yisheng didn't think there was anything wrong. He didn't want Yaoyao to suffer any injustice.
More than just impulse?
There must be something wrong with those concubines!
How could you rush up to beat someone when you see him? I'm afraid he might be on drugs.
Concubine Xiang was also present. Could it be that she was the one behind this incident? If this was really the case, why didn't Jiang Yisheng notice anything?
Combined with her subsequent actions, it is very likely that Concubine Xiang wanted to get rid of them.
Something was wrong with Jiang Yisheng. In order to protect Yao Yao, he obviously took actions that were inconsistent with his character.
This is most likely Yao Yao's fault. Compared to Jiang Yisheng's eagerness to protect him, Mo Qin is more interested in what means Yao Yao used to control and influence Jiang Yisheng.
When a person cannot control his emotions, no matter how smart he is, he will only do some mindless things.
When you later find out that you did something wrong, should more people reflect on why they are like this, or should more people try to find ways to make up for themselves and shirk the blame?
Mo Qin stopped talking. After all, she didn't have any definite evidence now.
"Senior brother, you are not an impulsive person. No matter how domineering those concubines are, they will not hit them when they come up."
Jiang Yisheng pursed his lips and gave up the thought of defending himself.
"Are you saying there was something fishy about what just happened? Do you think it has something to do with Concubine Xian?"
After Mo Qin said this, Jiang Yisheng was also a little suspicious.
But Mo Qin was not present. Her words were undoubtedly questioning her ability.
With him present, it was okay for so many people to be deceived by the monster, but they didn't even notice it afterwards.
"Yaoyao and I were both present and didn't find anything wrong."
Yao Yao rubbed her skirt with her fingers on her legs, "I really didn't find anything. Sister Mo, could you have made a mistake?"
They met two concubines who had lost their children and asked a few questions. The one who was with Concubine Xiang happened to be the third one. Unexpectedly, something happened just then.
Reason told her that there might be something wrong here, but she didn't want them to delve into the matter. For different reasons, Yao Yao and Jiang Yisheng had the same opinion.
Mo Qin glanced at Feng Jun, who shrugged and looked like he was staying out of it.
"..."

After all, this isn’t her main mission!
"Junior sister, let's ask that Concubine Shu first, right?"
The dead Concubine Shu had already passed the clear path. Of course, they had to ensure the safety of witnesses before finding out the truth of the matter, so Concubine Shu and the babies were also brought here.
At this time, Concubine Shu had obviously calmed down.
She was sitting in a formation on the ground, with several babies surrounding her, and some even crawling on top of her.
Concubine Shu only held one child in her arms, which was her own. The rest were the babies of other concubines who had been killed.
It was probably that Concubine Shu died in childbirth. She smelled of motherhood, and the children particularly liked her and regarded her as their mother.
Concubine Shu tried her best to recall, but she still couldn't recall any useful details.
The reason why she insisted that Concubine Xiang was the murderer was because after her death, she discovered that Concubine Xiang was different from what she thought, and that there was something about Concubine Xiang that frightened her.
"Believe me, Concubine Xiang is really the murderer. There must be something wrong with her!"
"If she were an ordinary person, how could I not even enter her palace!"
She originally wanted to go into Concubine Xiang's palace to have a look, but something blocked her and she couldn't go in.
Jiang Yisheng looked solemn:
"We can't even enter the harem now, let alone Concubine Xian's palace."
If, as suspected, Concubine Xiang has a problem, it would be difficult for them to sneak in secretly.
When the time comes to get caught in action, I really can’t even explain what I have to say.
"Oh, it looks like you caught something interesting."
Song Tan suddenly appeared with his hands in his hands, a smile on his face, as if he had just come back from fooling around outside.
Song Tan casually found an empty seat and sat down. While pouring himself tea, he looked at Concubine Shu.
After a while, an unrelated sentence came out.
"I heard that you were almost kicked out of the palace today?"
Jiang Yisheng's face turned pale, "Uncle Master, how did you know?"
Song Tan glanced at him sideways, as if he didn't say anything.
Mo Qin was not surprised that Song Tan put something on Jiang Yisheng, a small paper man.
