For Beijing and Zhao officials, there is really no peace between the DPRK and China recently.
First, the death of Cheng Yong, the patriarch of the three dynasties, implicated His Highness Changding, and then the third prince was imprisoned, and the Zhou family was investigated...
It can be said that there is one wave after another, and there is no time to stop.
The third prince has been escorted to Shannan Road, and Master Cheng's funeral arrangements have been taken care of. Just when the officials in the court thought that the court situation would be a little calm, it was suddenly reported that Zhou Meiren was pregnant.
The pregnancy of a beautiful woman was, of course, a very small matter and not worth the attention of the court officials. The key was that the emperor sent guards to guard Chunren Palace. This attitude is thought-provoking.
Could it be that the third prince still has the possibility of turning over?
Only those who know the truth, such as Zheng Ji and Queen Xue, would not think this way.
The guards at Chunren Palace were not there to protect Zhou Meiren, but to monitor her every move.
"Everything is as usual, Miss Zhou. The Fengchen Guards are still investigating the Zhou family. As for Kunning Palace... we can't find out." Qian Gu reported to Concubine Jiang.
Concubine Jiang was leaning on the soft pillow, her eyebrows were half-closed, and she exuded a lazy and charming aura: "Really? She can hold her breath."
This "she" refers to Zhou Meiren of course.
Zhou Yun didn't respond, which actually surprised Concubine Jiang. This kind of Zhou Yun made her feel that... the two requests she made at Fuqing Palace seemed to be giving her a handle.
Because it is too easy for her to deal with Zhou Yun, she only needs to move out of the emperor.
Zhou Yun has been in the palace for many years, would she not be aware of the emperor's love for her? It must have been clear, but Zhou Yun did it anyway.
"Could it be that she has nothing else to rely on?"
Qian Gu shook his head at this question.
Apart from the third prince and the Zhou family, he really couldn't find anyone else to rely on in Beauty Zhou.
Does the fetus in her belly count? It can’t be counted either.
"Previously, the emperor had ordered a thorough investigation of the Zhou family. Everyone knew that the Zhou family was about to fall. Some people who had good relations with the Zhou family in the past have stayed away." Qian Gu reported to Concubine Jiang Gui the latest news outside the palace.
Concubine Jiang nodded. There were Xiaojiu and the Jiang family outside the palace, so she didn't need to worry at all.
As for Kunning Palace...
"You really can't hear the conversation between the emperor and the queen?" Concubine Jiang asked with a frown.
Qian Gu had no choice but to reply: "Your Majesty, when the Emperor and the Queen are getting along, he doesn't like having people around him to serve him. Even Aunt Fu Fen will turn away."
Of course, he also deployed people in Kunning Palace, but they were all second-class palace maids. They couldn't even enter the main hall of Kunning Palace, let alone the inner hall.
Even if you can enter the inner hall, you can't know what the emperor and empress are talking about. Even Aunt Fu Fen, who is most trusted by the empress, can't get close, let alone others?
"That being the case..." Concubine Jiang thought for a moment and said, "You think of a way to reveal some news to Beauty Zhou, just say... The emperor and the queen have discussed that they must not keep her alive, and they will kill her twice."
"?" Qian Gu was puzzled, but immediately replied: "Yes, I will do it."
Concubine Jiang opened her eyes. Compared with her lazy expression, her eyes were very clear. She reminded: "I know the emperor well, and Zhou Jun also knows the emperor very well. - She also knows that the emperor cherishes his children, and he is in her heart. For the sake of the fetus, her life is not in danger."
Zhou Yun has fallen into such a situation. As long as his life is not in danger, he naturally has nothing to fear.
But what if the fetus in her belly is gone?
"I don't know what the emperor and the queen talked about, but others don't know either, and the same goes for Zhou Yun. But the third prince and the prince are against each other, and Queen Xue can't tolerate Zhou Yun, right?"
"What the empress said is, empress, this slave knows what to do." Qian Gu understood and had already thought of several ways in his mind.
"Go." Concubine Jiang waved her hand and closed her eyes again.
Since Zhou Yun didn't move, she had to force him to move. It was related to the fetus in his belly, so she didn't believe that Zhou Yun could still remain calm.
She had to make Zhou Yun move, but she had to carefully control the scope of the movement so as not to affect Xiao Jiu—
—Well, it can’t affect Xiaojiu’s weakness Du Fengju.
Qian Gu acted very quickly. He quickly made Chunren Palace nervous by contacting the Imperial Kitchen Room and the Imperial Medical Office.
The food delivered by the imperial kitchen was actually mixed with abortion pills!
If the imperial physician from the Imperial Medical Office hadn't happened to be present at that time and could smell an unusual smell with his sensitive nose, then Zhou Meiren's fetus would have been affected.
The guards responsible for monitoring Chunren Palace were extremely surprised. They never thought that under their close surveillance, someone would dare to do anything in Chunren Palace!
So after a thorough investigation that even scooped up a lot of land, the clues vaguely pointed to Kunning Palace.
Because while the meal was being prepared for Zhou Meiren in the imperial dining room, only the maids from Kunning Palace had been in and out of the imperial dining room.
More importantly, when the four guards in the palace found the palace maid, the palace maid's body floated in the lotus pond of Kunning Palace.
Death without evidence, or in other words, murder and silence.
Therefore, the four soldiers in the palace seemed to have found something, but in fact they had no results. In other words, they seemed to have no results, but in fact they found many things.
After the four soldiers in the palace reported the investigation results to Emperor Yongning, Emperor Yongning immediately left Kunning Palace. No one knew what the emperor said. They only knew that the emperor looked gloomy when he left Kunning Palace.
"Do you think the Emperor will believe that the Queen is responsible?" Concubine Tao Xian sat opposite Concubine Jiang and asked curiously.
Concubine Jiang glanced at her but said nothing.
She also didn't know what was going on with Concubine Tao Shu, who came to Fuqing Palace from time to time because her niece Tao Jingyi joined Xiaojiu's team.
She is not familiar with Tao Shu at all, okay? But this person is so shameless that he can't be driven away.
Concubine Jiang would never admit that being in Fuqing Palace was boring at times, but it was quite interesting to listen to Tao Shu's words occasionally.
For example, right now, Tao Shu was describing Kunning Palace with schadenfreude, as if she had seen it with her own eyes.
However, the next moment, she slumped her shoulders and sighed: "Oh, what a pity..."
What's a pity?
"That palace maid... is the spy that I installed in Kunning Palace. I didn't expect it to be broken like this! The Queen must have known about it a long time ago, so she let someone from this palace act as a scapegoat, which can harm Zhou Meiren. , and got rid of my spies again!"
"..." Concubine Jiang was speechless for a while.
No, isn't Tao Shu always targeting her? Is it really appropriate to say such secretive words in front of her?
Spies and other shocking things, isn't Tao Shu afraid that she will tell them?
Since that palace maid was Tao Shu's spy, how could she know that the one who really murdered Zhou Meiren wouldn't be Tao Shu?
Concubine Jiang was about to say something, but something stirred in her mind. She couldn't help but look at Concubine Tao Xian and held her breath: "You said... that palace maid was your secret chess piece?" ap.
Something flashed through her mind, and her heart lifted involuntarily.
"Yes, but the queen will never find out about me..." Concubine Tao Xian nodded, not taking it seriously.
Since she dared to tell Concubine Jiang Gui about this secret chess game, she was absolutely sure to clear up the relationship.
The Tao family in Northern Xinjiang still has this ability.
Concubine Jiang shook her head subconsciously and said, "No, no, that's not the case..."
How could it be such a coincidence that the palace maid from Kunning Palace who appeared in the imperial kitchen and was drowned turned out to be Concubine Tao Xian's secret chess?
There's a problem, there's a problem! She must have overlooked something...
At this moment, Qian Gu hurriedly walked in. His face was very ugly. He didn't care that Concubine Tao Xian was still there, and whispered: "Mother, Zhou Meiren died suddenly, one body and two lives!"
