When Xuan Yuan had rushed to the Pavilion of Wind, the Imperial Physician had already checked over the corpse of the Zhou family according to the rules. Yun Long knelt below the bed and cried.

The empress, on the other hand, was displeased and did not come forward. The Noble Consort Ling, on the other hand, had received the news and followed Xuanyuan.

A trace of guilt unconsciously appeared between his brows. I wondered if Mrs. Zhou would comfort her a little if she saw it. He still felt that he was more of a joke, an obscure joke from the imperial harem.

I couldn't tell what kind of expression I had, grief, pity, fear, numbness. I felt my limbs go cold, and a chill swept over me.

Standing close behind Xuanyuan, she did not look at Madame Zhou's face. He was afraid that he would never be able to forget it once he saw it.

"Your Majesty, Attendant Zhou committed suicide by consuming poison. And it was a chronic poison, like it was mixed with food. To leave peacefully in sleep, and to die without suffering too much pain. "

I immediately felt that something was amiss. It was obviously a Coarseness Maidservant who came to Caixie Palace to report that the Zhou Family was not well. Why did he die from the poison in his dreams? There was a huge difference between the two theories. Could it be that …

"Your Majesty …"

"Your majesty, just now the Palace Maidservant came to report that the Zhou family was not good. "Could it be that I can't bear to take the poison …" I interrupted Noble Consort Ling and took the lead. Her face was soft and weak as she hugged Xiang Xuanyuan sorrowfully.

Noble Consort Ling flew into a rage and glared at me viciously. She calmly said, "I'm afraid it's not that simple. If the Zhou family took the poison, why would they go and report it? Even if it's just a report, why did I choose you? "

"I request that Your Majesty investigate this matter in detail and give the Six Palaces an explanation. "Give poor Zhou family an explanation!" The Noble Consort Ling bowed towards Xiang Xuanyuan, "I also ask Your Majesty to pity Fourth Prince, to see the death of your mother when you are young. This matter cannot be wiped out in vain. "

"What is the meaning of this?" Xuan Yuan tightened his grip on my hand, his tone neutral. However, there was an indescribable sense of majesty. Wherever the gaze went, everyone lowered their heads, not daring to make a sound.

Only the Noble Consort Ling met her eyes: "Chenqie received news that the Zhou family had requested for help from Sun Ronghua before they died." As she spoke, she rushed out of the hall and said, "Bring them up."

A young Palace Maidservant who was cowering in fear was dragged into the palace by two young eunuchs. From the way she was dressed, it was obvious that she was a Coarseness Maidservant who was working in the backyard. My heart quivered. Could it be the one who delivered the message to me at the Caixie Palace?

As expected, she met Ning Zhi's firm gaze, and her heart immediately cleared up.

"Hurry up and report this to the emperor." Noble Consort Ling's haughty aura was completely revealed, she was so scared that she shrank her shoulders and knelt on the ground and said weakly: "This servant … This servant is under the command of Assistant Minister Zhou … begging to be spared from the Caixie Palace … "No." That's why I went to ask Sun Ronghua to save my Young Mistress. "

It looks like Ya Bei and Noble Consort Ling have already hardened their hearts, I must be the one to commit the crime of poisoning my concubine, the Prince, and the prince's act of spoiling her.

"Servant Zhou, why do you have to beg Shuyuan for mercy? Go on." Noble Consort Ling cast a sidelong glance at me, and said aggressively: "With the Emperor protecting your Young Mistress, you can speak up."

"Yes, I am the one who ordered my Young Mistress to frame Sun Ronghua. Young Mistress was still brooding over the matter of Sun Ronghua's abortion. Furthermore, they do not wish to implicate the Fourth Prince and report the truth to the Emperor.

Coarseness Maidservant tightly pressed herself to the ground, her mouth constantly begging for forgiveness: "Please spare my life Your Majesty, this servant has said everything that I need to say … "Your Majesty, please spare my life …"

Noble Consort Ling was elated for a thousand steps: "Now, does little sister still have anything to say?"
