When the name was called, Eunuch Xi hurriedly knelt over, "Go back to the emperor, slave, I don't even know."
"Eunuch Xi and Concubine Mother take care of Emperor Father day and night, why don't you know?" Qin Yuheng asked.
"This..." Eunuch Xi paused, "I will tell you the truth, during this period of time, Concubine Yi Yi took care of the Emperor personally, and many times, the slaves were waiting outside the palace. Besides, whenever the Lord Long Live was asleep, Concubine Yi would always look after the emperor." Don't allow other people to disturb you, that day when you found out that the emperor was fast asleep, the slave went to the imperial dining room to explain what to eat in the middle of the night, and when he came back, the imperial concubine Yi disappeared, and everyone in the imperial study can prove it for this slave."
Hearing this, the emperor closed his eyes, as if telling Qin Yuheng that he was not lying.
In the past few days, Concubine Yi took good care of him, so he didn't like to be disturbed when he fell asleep, Concubine Yi would dismiss everyone and sit by the bed alone and wait for him to wake up.
So after Concubine Yi's accident, he felt very sorry, how could such a well-behaved living person die suddenly? And he died so strangely!
"Then this matter is strange, who sneaked into the Hall of Mental Cultivation and took away Concubine Yi, and who deliberately framed the second emperor's wife?" Qin Ruochen opened his mouth inappropriately, with every word in a suspicious tone, It seems that there is something mysterious in this incident and alluding to something.
After finishing speaking, he turned his eyes and looked at Ling Muer, "Second Emperor's Sister-in-Law, I don't know who you have offended recently to let someone hurt you so much?"
He underlined this 'again', and when the emperor heard this, his brows were filled with displeasure.
Ling Mu'er didn't rush to get up and kneel down to complain to the emperor, instead she leaned on the back of the chair like an old man, her eyebrows fluttered, her voice was soft but not lacking in domineering, "As the second prince and concubine, To harm me is to harm the second prince, there are many people in the court who don't want the second prince to live well, is the sixth prince right?"
Qin Ruochen's face froze, and he turned around a thousand times, in short, it was all kinds of unsightly things.
He turned around and looked at the emperor again, clasped his fists and wanted to say something, but the emperor was one step ahead of him and stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Heng'er, Concubine Yi is your mother and concubine. She has treated me and the harem all her life, but she is so fateful. As her emperor's son and only child, you should find out the truth for her. Then I will leave this matter to you to investigate, and we must find the murderer who murdered Concubine Yi!"
He looked at his father in surprise, never expecting his father to entrust such an important matter to him.
Qin Yuheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded solemnly, "Thank you, Father!"
Standing up again, he immediately ordered the jailer, "Come here, let the second prince and concubine go."
Qin Ruochen saw that the emperor was about to leave, and Ling Muer was about to be released, so he hurriedly stopped him, "Wait!"
"Brother Sanhuang, my younger brother knows that you and the second prince's mansion have always been on good terms, but the second emperor's wife is the biggest suspect in the murder of Concubine Yi, so you just let him go, isn't it appropriate?"
Hearing this, the emperor also turned around, with curiosity on his brows, waiting for his answer.
"Besides, so many guards saw the Second Wife holding a dagger with their own eyes, and Concubine Yi fell in front of her. You released her in a hurry before you went to investigate. How should you explain to the entire harem?" Qin Ruochen hurriedly pursued the victory.
If Ling Mu'er is really the murderer who murdered Concubine Yi, releasing her at this time would be extremely dangerous for the entire harem.
I'm afraid those concubines will live in fear all day long, and maybe they will go to the emperor to complain.
But Qin Yuheng shot him coldly, regardless of what Qin Ruochen said, and scolded his head and face, "Presumptuous! Qin Ruochen, what do you mean? This king has just proved to the second emperor's wife that she was lured into the palace. Besides , who said that holding a dagger is a murderer? But anyone with a brain can see that the second emperor's wife was framed and used by others, but you want to put her to death, so can this king think that the person who designed all this It is your sixth prince!"
"Brother Sanhuang?" Qin Ruochen never expected that Qin Yuheng, who had been unknown until now, would suddenly be so domineering today, not only contradicting him, but even reprimanding him in front of everyone.
He hurriedly looked back at the emperor, "Father, Brother Sanhuang has just experienced the pain of losing his mother. I'm afraid his mind is confused. My son is just talking about the matter, and he is also thinking about the emperor and the whole palace."
"Lao Liu's words are not unreasonable. However, I have handed over the matter to King Xiaoyao for investigation. Since he believes that Ling Muer is innocent, let him alone decide."
After coughing a few times, the emperor was carried out of the prison again.
Almost as soon as the emperor left, Qin Yuheng suddenly rushed towards Qin Ruochen, grabbed his collar and pressed him against the cage, with a spicy expression and cold eyes, "Say, is the death of my concubine mother related to you! "
Qin Ruochen was terrified, he was controlled almost without defense, his hands in his cuffs were about to resist, but when he saw Shangguan Shaochen behind him who was already on guard, he thought about it and pretended to be innocent, "I'm wronged, Brother Sanhuang, don't you really hold grudges against me because I proposed to the emperor to revoke your position as crown prince, and deliberately framed me?"
Looking at his staring eyes, Qin Yuheng suppressed the anger in his heart. If his eyes could kill people, he really wished that he could stab the masked fox in front of him into a hornet's nest right now.
"It's best not to let me know that you are related to this matter!"
Pushing his body away fiercely, Qin Yuheng had already turned around and walked to the cage.
At this moment, Ling Muer has been released.
"Second Emperor's Wife, you..." Qin Yuheng wanted to say something, but he glanced at Qin Ruochen behind him from the corner of his eye.
"It seems that this place doesn't welcome me. Forget it, I'd better go back to the mansion and lie down obediently, so as not to be hurt by the fish in the pond." Qin Ruochen hummed, swaggeringly and leisurely left this place of right and wrong.
"Mu'er, how are you?"
All the people he didn't want to see had already left, Shangguan Shaochen hurriedly took Ling Mu'er into his arms, making sure that she wasn't injured, he was relieved,
Ling Muer shook her head at him, indicating that she was fine, and quickly looked at Qin Yuheng, "Concubine Yi's death, I..."
"There's no need to say any more." Qin Yuheng silently squatted in front of Concubine Yi's body, lifted the white cloth, and looked at the calm and familiar face of Concubine Mu, holding back tears.
If it hadn't been verified that Concubine Mu was dead, he would rather believe that she was just asleep.
Look, how peacefully he slept in this peaceful appearance.
"The son wants to be filial but the relatives are not around. I didn't know until I had my own emperor's son. It turned out that it was so difficult for my mother and concubine to give birth to me and raise me. But before I can fulfill my filial piety, my mother and concubine are separated from me forever."
Qin Yuheng sighed deeply.
Covering the white cloth again, he got up and looked at Ling Muer again, "My concubine liked the second emperor's wife very much before she was alive, and the second emperor's wife has always treated her mother with all her heart, although I don't know who is harming us, but... ..."
Suddenly, Qin Yuheng knelt down on one knee and looked at Shangguan Shaochen and Ling Muer, "My brother implores the second brother and the second wife of the emperor to help me find the real murderer who murdered my mother and concubine."
"What are you doing?" Shangguan Shaochen hurriedly pulled him up, "Although Concubine Yi is your mother concubine, in my prince's heart, why doesn't she treat her like a family member, and this matter involves Mu'er again. You are innocent, don't worry, even if I try my best, I will find out the real culprit."
"Yesterday you were clearly not in the second prince's mansion. In order to get rid of me, you did not hesitate to lie to the emperor. Do you really believe me?"
Ling Muer never expected that the first person who believed in her would be Qin Yuheng!
In Qin Yuheng's impression, apart from being a bit lecherous, he is also a mediocre and incompetent person who can't make up his mind and has no opinions.
She originally thought that after the sudden death of Concubine Yi, Qin Yuheng would, like everyone else, think that the one holding the dagger was the murderer.
But when he spoke suddenly and gave false testimony for her, she was very surprised.
"Even if there is no concubine mother, I believe you are not that kind of person."
Qin Yuheng spoke his true words, "But the mother concubine died strangely. Why did she appear on that road? Who dismissed all the guards, why didn't she call for help, what's going on!"
Seeing him punching the wall weakly, Ling Muer and Shangguan Shaochen looked at each other, one squatted down to start the autopsy, and the other comforted him softly.
"With the ability to dismiss all the guards in the palace, this person must have a lot of background. Although the palace is big, there are not many people who have this right. Paper can't cover the flames. If you have done it, you will definitely leave something behind. And , How long has it been since you saw Concubine Yi?" Shangguan Shaochen asked.
Qin Yuheng almost didn't think about it, "Five days"
Watching Ling Muer lift off the white cloth of Concubine Mother, and began to examine her body, if someone else treated Concubine Mother in such a disrespectful manner, he would order someone to kill her, but he knew that Ling Muer was doing this Look for evidence.
"To be specific, I came to pay my respects to my concubine this morning, but my father was in a coma at that time. I just greeted my concubine hastily outside the door and then left, but I am sure that my concubine was fine at that time. The concubine's intention to take care of my concubine during this time I have been living in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. The concubine mother once told me that she would take care of the emperor until his condition completely improved before leaving. The concubine mother is a person who keeps her word. If there is no special situation tonight, she will never leave. Leave father alone."
Hearing this, Shangguan Shaochen became even more curious.
"Except for Concubine Yi in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Eunuch Xi is the only one, but Eunuch Xi bluntly said that he does not know when Concubine Yi will leave. Could it be that someone is lying?" Chen and Qin Yuheng became curious.
Although the two of them didn't speak, their faces changed, obviously they took these words to heart.
"Concubine Yi didn't call for help, maybe she met someone she was familiar with. Apart from concubines, Concubine Yi probably doesn't have many acquaintances in the harem?" Shangguan Shaochen already had a circle in his mind.
Qin Ruochen's pupils widened when he heard the words, "My concubine left the palace many years ago. If I'm an acquaintance, only the concubines from the previous years are more familiar, and there are not many concubines who entered the palace with my concubine back then. Could it be... ..."
"Shaochen, my lord, what do you think this is?"
