  Chapter 1292【V156】Death of Concubine Shun

  In the afternoon, Xuanyin really went to buy roast goose, the fattest and tenderest kind.

   Ning Yue, who was taking a nap, opened her eyes dimly, smelling the long-lost fragrance, and her saliva flowed down.

The skin of the roast goose is roasted, crispy on the outside, but tender on the inside. When you bite into it, the juice splashes out, and the aroma of the roast goose fills your mouth. The salty and sweet taste stimulates Ning Yue's taste buds , Ning Yue yelled: "Food! Rice! I want to eat!"

  Xuan Yin went to the kitchen to bring the meal in person.

  When the people in the kitchen saw Uncle, they all seemed to have seen a ghost. They were so frightened that they forgot to bow, and they just murmured desperately in their hearts, the kitchen is so heavy, why did Uncle come in?

  Xuanyin put the served rice in Ning Yue's hand, and Ning Yue ate it with big mouthfuls.

  In order to control her weight, she eats on time and according to the amount every day. Although she is not hungry, she often feels greedy. When will she be able to eat to her heart's content like today?

   After Ning Yue finished eating, she basked in the sun in the backyard while touching her chubby belly.

   Xuan Yin sat quietly aside.

  Ning Yue moved a little and lay down on his lap. He was holding a book, which happened to cover the sun above her head.

  Ning Yue squinted her eyes comfortably: "Xuan Yin."

   "Huh?" Xuanyin responded leisurely and lazily.

  Ning Yue turned sideways, faced his stomach, and hugged him tightly: "It's nothing, I'll just call you."

   Xuanyin smiled softly, covered her tender face with his big palm, and stroked it carefully: "Do you want to eat anything?"

"think."

   "What to eat?"

"you."

   Xuanyin was startled for a moment, then felt someone's restless little hand poking into his lower abdomen.

  It's really warm and thoughtful**.

  All the servants in the yard dispersed, leaving only the two of them tossing and lingering in this tender time.

  …

  In the afternoon, Concubine Yan Hui posted a post to Ning Yue, asking if Ning Yue was free to enter the palace today and tomorrow.

  Ning Yue thought it would be better to hit the sun than to choose a date, so she asked Dongmei to prepare.

  Before departure, seeing Xuanyin also standing at the door, looking like he was about to go out, he asked in bewilderment, "Stop reading?"

   "I've finished watching today's episode." As he spoke, Xuan Yin held her hand, "Aren't you going to enter the palace?"

  Ning Yue blinked her eyes: "Are you going too?"

   Xuanyin hummed.

Ning Yue gave him a strange look, and invited him to go in the morning, but he didn't go, saying that he would stay at home and read a book to understand the relationship; now let him read at home, but he wants to enter the palace with her again: "Actually, you just don't want to part with me. Bar?"

   Xuan Yin straightened her hair that was blown tousled by the wind at her temples: "Yes, I miss you, so no matter what happens in the future, you can't leave me behind."

  Why is it the same as what the elder brother said? Of course she won't leave them behind, she climbed out of **** with great difficulty, and she hasn't been hurt enough by them yet.

  The two walked towards the gate hand in hand. At the gate of Yi, they met Rong Lin and Rong Qing who had returned from collecting herbs.

   Rong Lin was sweating profusely, and was carrying a huge bamboo basket on his back.

  Although Rong Qing is sitting in a wheelchair, it is not difficult to see from his flushed complexion that he has been exposed to the sun for a long time.

   "Brother, Rong Lin, it's a hot day, why did you go?" Ning Yue asked with concern.

  Rong Lin said casually: "Pick up herbs!"

  Rong Qing hurriedly said: "I want to try other prescriptions to see if it helps my legs."

   "That's it." Ning Yue looked at Rong Lin's bamboo basket, "Then... have you finished picking? Do you still want to go? If you want to go, let Xuanyin come with you?"

  Rong Qing opened his mouth.

  Rong Lin snorted as if carelessly: "Pick a medicine, I alone will be enough! This guy, let's stay with you!"

   Xuanyin can't deny it.

  Rong Qing looked at the two of them and asked, "Are you going out?"

   "Go around the palace." Ning Yue said with a smile.

  Rong Qing took a deep look at Xuan Yin: "Be careful on the road."

   Xuanyin nodded: "I understand."

The carriage entered from the south gate of the palace and stopped beside the aisle of the small garden. To the right is the Jinluan Hall and the Imperial Study Room, and to the left is the Harem. Xuan Yin has not accepted the formal canonization, so it is inconvenient to enter the concubine's room with Ning Yue In the harem, Ning Yue was asked to go first, while he went to the imperial study to discuss some court affairs with the king of Nanjiang.

  Ning Yue was worried that his business would be delayed, so after hearing this, he couldn't help but feel that it was perfect, and hurried him to go.

Dongmei accompanied Ning Yue to Concubine Yan Hui's bedroom. Since Empress Geng's demise, all affairs in the harem were temporarily handed over to Concubine Yan Hui, but the Phoenix Seal was in her hands. Therefore, Concubine Yan Hui had no choice but to invite her when she encountered a big decision. under the instructions.

  The style of the palace has changed slightly. Empress Geng's favorite peonies have all been removed and replaced with clean and elegant chrysanthemums. Some small bridges and pavilions that have been neglected have also been repaired by craftsmen, creating a thriving scene.

   "Concubine Yan Hui is capable, miss, look at the swans in the lake, how beautiful!" Dongmei looked at the pool of elegant white swans and admired them greatly.

  Empress Geng loved to raise fish, so Concubine Yan Hui bought white swans and ate all the fish raised by Empress Geng. It can be seen that Concubine Yan Hui really hated Empress Geng to the core. Of course, it does not rule out the possibility that Concubine Yan Hui will use this time to announce to the palace people that she is the next harem lord.

  Ning Yue smiled and said nothing.

   The master and servant strolled leisurely for a while, and by chance, they ran into Concubine Liu Gui who was also strolling outside.

   "Hey, isn't this the princess of the county? Why did she enter the palace?" Concubine Liu Gui said angrily.

  Qiuyue echoed: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten? Prince Yinjun has recognized His Majesty, and she is now the eldest grandson concubine!"

"Oh, look at my memory, how did I forget such an important thing? There are a lot of concubines, please don't argue with me, I don't want to have an affair with others, and be thrown into limbo!" Concubine Liu Gui became more and more yin and yang, and she clearly believed that the adultery between Queen Geng and Island Master Zhao was planned by Ning Yue.

  She guessed very well, but Ning Yue didn't refute her, and didn't bother to talk to her quickly, so she walked past her without looking sideways.

Concubine Liu Gui was so angry that she jumped her feet: "What's the big deal? Isn't it just becoming a grandson concubine? He was also a prince before! What happened? Didn't he die? Do you think this seat is really so easy to sit in? I am waiting for you. , Waiting to see the day when you are pulled off the horse!"

   Dongmei turned her head and glared at Concubine Liu Gui, and said to Ning Yue: "Miss, she is so annoying, what are you talking about?"

  Ning Yue shrugged her shoulders indifferently: "She just wants to make me unhappy. If I ignore her, the unhappy one will become her. Let's go."

   Unexpectedly, the two didn't go far, and they met another person they didn't want to see.

   It was a concubine in a light green palace dress, who rushed towards Ning Yue in a rage, and grabbed Ning Yue regardless.

  Dongmei quickly stopped her, and shouted, "What are you doing?"

  The person who came was none other than Concubine Li Shun who had been away for many days.

Concubine Li Shun was originally the most outstanding among the concubines, but now for some reason, she is ten years older than when they first met, with fine lines growing on the corners of her eyes and mouth, her face is haggard, and her pair of eyes are fixed on Ning Yue. His eyes can't wait to spit out a fire.

  Being stopped by Dongmei, she became even more angry, and scolded in a low voice: "Go away! You dare to stop me even, you are getting impatient!"

Dongmei was not afraid of her. She snorted and said, "What if I stop you? Run if you have the ability! Run! I'll see if you can run away!" Then, she hugged her even tighter. So tight that she couldn't move a step.

   Concubine Li Shun was so angry that her mouth slanted and her eyes slanted: "Okay, okay, okay, one or two of you, all together to bully me! You...you will have retribution!"

Ning Yue's good mood all morning was completely ruined by Concubine Li Shun. She walked towards her indifferently and asked, "On Spirit Snake Island, you plotted against me once, framed me to death, and then slammed into me again. I didn't bother with you at all, but now it's good, you are getting more and more arrogant, and you think I should let you go, don't you?"

   Concubine Li Shun choked, but soon, she said through gritted teeth: "If you don't like it, just let the horse come over and give me a good time! What does it mean to be so immortal?!"

   "I'm so dead? I don't understand what you're talking about?" Ning Yue frowned.

Concubine Li Shun snorted mockingly: "I don't know? Thank you for being able to say it! You entered the palace today, didn't you just want to verify the effect? ​​I can congratulate you, the effect is very good! Very good! Your goal has been achieved! Ben Both Gong and the Sixth Prince would be better off dead!"

  Ning Yue vaguely heard a clue: "I didn't get involved with you and the sixth prince."

"Do you dare to say that you didn't spread those rumors in the palace? Now...the entire harem knows about my affair with the sixth prince...I don't know when it will be heard by His Majesty...Dare you say...you didn't do all of this Other than you, who else knows my relationship with the Sixth Prince?!" Concubine Li Shun became more and more excited as she spoke, until at the end, her catalog was about to tear apart. There is a kind, and now it seems that he is just a villain who dares to act and dare not to be!"

   "Shut up! Besides, I'll throw it into the river!" Dongmei couldn't bear to hear her slander her young lady so much.

  Li Shunfei sneered: "Throw it! Throw it if you have the ability! Anyway, I don't want to live anymore, so I'll pull you as a backing! I'm dead... a ghost, and I want to haunt you two!"

   "You..." Dongmei was out of breath.

Ning Yue patted Dongmei on the shoulder to signal her to calm down, then she looked at Concubine Li Shun lightly and said, "I'm not interested in the affairs of the two of you. It's worth my trouble to deal with it! Don't take yourself too seriously, if you deal with you, you'll lose your grade."

  Concubine Li Shun gasped!

  Ning Yue stopped looking at her, looked ahead and said, "Dongmei, let's go."

  Dongmei threw Concubine Li Shun to the ground, clapped her hands, and followed Ning Yue.

  …

  Concubine Yan Hui finally waited for Ning Yue to come, stepped forward, took Ning Yue's hand, and sat down on the couch with her: "I've been waiting for you for a while, is there something delayed on the way?"

  Ning Yue smiled and said, "I met a few people and said hello, how is it? Are you okay here?"

"What's wrong with me? Your Majesty trusts me and entrusts me to take care of the chores of the harem. I'm tired, but I'm not afraid of your jokes. I feel more at ease in my heart! I don't have to count pearls and silver all day long and be confused; You don’t have to always stand at the door hoping that King Qi will bring me his grandson.” Concubine Yan Hui said softly, then patted Ning Yue’s hand, “Look at me, I’m so busy talking, I’ve forgotten my business, Lian Xin! Bring it."

   "Yes!" The maid called Lian Xin served Ning Yue a cup of tea, then went away silently, after a while, she came back with a few account books.

   Concubine Yan Hui handed the account book to Ning Yue: "These are the budget for the next quarter of Liugong. I did it on my behalf. I don't know if it suits your wishes."

Concubine Yan Hui didn't know about her pregnancy, but the king of Nanjiang knew about it. He was afraid that she would not be able to support the baby with peace of mind, so he specifically pointed out that Concubine Yan Hui was in charge of the sixth palace, not to mention some budgets, and Concubine Yan Hui also did things like raising and lowering concubines. Well, negotiating with Ning Yue is nothing more than selling Ning Yue's great face.

  But Ning Yue carefully looked through the account book, corrected a few mistakes, and stamped it with a phoenix seal: "Thanks for your hard work, Concubine Hui."

   Concubine Yan Hui smiled and said: "I said that I am not afraid of hard work, I am only afraid of being idle!"

  The two discussed the matter of the Sixth Palace again. Basically, it was Concubine Yan Hui who provided advice, and Ning Yue made the decision, which was considered a good match. When talking about the concubine's monthly money, Ning Yue remembered the rumors about Concubine Li Shun and the sixth prince, and planned to ask Concubine Yan Hui if she had heard about it. Concubine Yan Hui happened to hand over a new monthly money system. Forget about the rumors.

After discussing the important matters, Concubine Yan Hui turned away the palace people, and her eyes fell on Dongmei's face, making Dongmei avoid her. Dongmei pretended not to see, and stood solemnly behind Ning Yue. She pursed her lips, Said: "Actually... there is one more thing I want to discuss with the princess of the county."

   "Concubine Hui, please tell me." Ning Yue said.

Concubine Yan Hui laughed twice, put her hair from her temples behind her ears, and said: "Look... Empress Geng has fallen, and the Geng family has also been defeated. There is only one second wife left to guard the frontier, but the far water cannot save the near fire. In a battle, we can't say that we won it beautifully."

   A few days ago, they were still complaining about Geng Yan's death, but today they are full of praise for their victory.

  Ning Yue glanced at her suspiciously: "What does Concubine Hui want to say?"

   "Look, I have helped Concubine Changsun all I could. Shouldn't Concubine Changsun fulfill her original promise?" Concubine Yan Hui looked at Ning Yue longingly.

  Ning Yue calmly took a sip of tea: "The Empress Hui is talking about being the Empress Dowager, and Xuan Yin has not yet ascended the throne. I'm afraid there is no rush for this matter."

Concubine Yan Hui said earnestly: "I'm not entirely in a hurry for myself. Of course, I'd be lying to you if I said I'm not in a hurry, but I also have another thing in mind. Although Geng Yan fell from the horse, she didn't die after all. As long as she doesn't die, she will be eyeing the queen for a day. Instead of letting her toss about in different ways, it is better to take the latter! Although I can help you now, it is not as convenient as being a queen. This matter My personal selfishness accounted for half of the matter, and the consideration of the overall situation also accounted for half, I ask the eldest grandson to think twice."

  If Concubine Yan Hui insisted that it was not out of selfishness, Ning Yue might turn her face and leave immediately, but she was so frank that Ning Yue could not say anything. Besides, Concubine Yan Hui's analysis is correct, the power of a concubine and the power of a queen are not the same in the harem. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Empress Geng has worked so hard to manage it for so many years. If concubine Hui was promoted to be queen at this time, it would indeed deal a greater blow to Geng Yan's lineage.

   But everything has pros and cons.

  After helping Concubine Yan Hui get on the horse, what if Concubine Yan Hui becomes arrogant due to favor?

   Even if she is an ally at this time, she has to weigh the pros and cons before making a decision.

  Ning Yue said: "Let me think about it."

   Concubine Yan Hui said as usual: "Okay, I believe you are as anxious as I am. We have common enemies and common goals, and my third prince really has no capital to win the throne. You can rest assured about this."

   Now, except for Empress Geng, no one can beat Xuan Yin and the Marshal's Mansion. From this point of view alone, Concubine Yan Hui's mother and son really can't afford much trouble.

  Ning Yue secretly laughed that she was forced out of her conspiracy physique by Empress Geng, and she had to weigh the pros and cons before doing anything. From the point of view of Concubine Yan Hui, what she asked for was completely understandable.

   Just when the two were thinking about being the empress, Lian Xin came in with a solemn face: "It's not good, Concubine Hui, something serious has happened!"

   Concubine Yan Hui frowned: "What happened?"

   Lian Xin replied: "Concubine Li Shun...is dead."

  …

Concubine Yan Hui and Concubine Ning Yue arrived at the scene of the incident as quickly as possible. It was the place where Concubine Ning Yue had a dispute with Concubine Li Shun. Concubine Li Shun's body had already been salvaged. Green grass.

  Her personal maid and **** knelt on one side, crying loudly.

  Many palace people hid in the distance, standing on tiptoe, secretly watching the excitement here.

   Concubine Liu Gui arrived a few steps earlier than Ning Yue and the others, and when she saw the two of them approaching, she snorted coldly: "You still have the guts to come?"

   Concubine Yan Hui did not argue with her, but asked the palace attendants present: "What's going on?"

  A young **** knelt down and replied: "I report to Concubine Hui and Concubine Changsun that Concubine Shun has drowned."

   "I know she drowned! But do you know how she drowned?" Concubine Yan Hui's tone was not very good, "This kind of thing happened just after I took over the harem, it's really abominable!"

The little **** said in horror: "I didn't see how Concubine Shun fell. I was sweeping the floor just now. I saw a piece of clothes floating in the river. I wondered if someone dropped the clothes. Then I went into the water to salvage, one after another...and one after another...it turned out to be Empress Shun! The servant hurriedly called for someone to come over, but the empress died long ago..."

  Hearing the little eunuch's shout, the maid who was trimming the bonsai nearby rushed over. According to their account, when they went to see Concubine Shun, Concubine Shun had already died. As for how Concubine Shun fell into the water, they didn't see it either.

  Besides that, Concubine Yan Hui called the nearby palace people over and questioned them one by one. They all said that they didn't come to the river, and they didn't know about Concubine Li Shun's experience of falling into the water.

  Ning Yue's complexion gradually became solemn. Concubine Li Shun, who had been arguing with her just a moment ago, turned into a cold corpse. No matter how you look at it... I feel that things are not that simple.

   "Notify His Majesty." Ning Yue said.

  Concubine Yan Hui hurriedly asked Lian Xin to go to the imperial study, and about a quarter of an hour later, King Nanjiang and Xuan Yin came over.

   Xuanyin held Ning Yue's cold hand: "Are you all right?"

   "I'm fine." Ning Yue bowed to King Nanjiang, who waved his hand to signal her to flatten. Afterwards, the king of Nanjiang explained a few words to Wu Zuo behind him, and Wu Zuo stepped forward to start the autopsy.

  Xuanyin held Ning Yue into his arms, and Ning Yue buried her face in his chest instead of looking at the pale body.

  After the autopsy, Wu wrote: "Your Majesty, Concubine Shun's complexion is slightly red, there is drowning foam in her mouth and nose, there is water in her abdomen, her belly is slightly swollen, she is indeed drowned."

"Maybe I accidentally fell into the water." Concubine Yan Hui turned her head, looked at the two personal palace personalities of Concubine Li Shun, and said, "You are also serious! Don't you know how to follow your mother when she goes out? No one will find out that Concubine Shun fell into the water! You guys If you follow closely, will Concubine Shun drown?"

  The two were shaking with fright.

  The palace maid said tremblingly: "It's not that the servants don't want to follow, it's because the empress doesn't allow the servants to follow."

The little **** also said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, please be enlightened, and Concubine Hui, please be enlightened. This slave really didn't know what would happen to Concubine Shun... If he had known earlier, Concubine Shun would have beaten the slave to death, and the slave would have to follow her! "

   Concubine Li Shun came to her to question the rumors, so naturally she didn't want to follow her. Ning Yue understood that they were not lying, but at this moment, she didn't know whether she should reveal the fact that Concubine Shun had approached her...

Just when she was hesitating, Concubine Liu Gui came over with an arrogant face, first bowed to the King of Nanjiang, then pointed to Ning Yue's nose and said: "Concubine Changsun, do you still want to hide the matter now? "

  Hiding? Ning Yue looked at her unexpectedly.

Xuan Yin blocked Ning Yue behind her, and stared at Concubine Liu Gui with her icy eyes. Concubine Liu Gui's heart skipped a beat, and Xuan Yin said coldly, "The concubine thinks her hands are too long, so I want your Highness to give them to you." You chop off a piece?"

   Concubine Liu Gui hurriedly put down her hand!

  Nanjiang King said wearily: "Bring the body of Concubine Shun back."

  Xiao Dezi replied: "Yes."

Concubine Liu Gui rolled her eyes, bravely stopped Xiao Dezi, looked past Xiao Dezi, and landed on the face of Nanjiang King: "Your Majesty! The death of Concubine Shun's sister was not an accident! Someone deliberately murdered you! We can't let the murderer go, so that Concubine Shun can't rest in peace under the Nine Springs!"

  The king of Nanjiang said impatiently, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Concubine Liu Gui walked around Xiao Dezi, came to the King of Nanjiang, and said sincerely: "Your Majesty! The concubine is not talking nonsense! The concubine has just seen it with her own eyes and heard it with her own ears! Some people say that they want to push sister Concubine Shun to Drown in the river!"

   "Who?" Nanjiang King asked subconsciously.

   Concubine Liu Gui waved her hand and pointed: "Her!"

   Ning Yue's eyebrows twitched. Is Concubine Liu Gui crazy or stupid, and she actually pointed at Dongmei?

   Soon, Ning Yue remembered that when she had a dispute with Concubine Li Shun, Dongmei had indeed threatened Concubine Li Shun, and if she didn't shut up, she would throw Concubine Li Shun into the river.

   But that was just a momentary remark. Unexpectedly, Concubine Li Shun really died in the river.

  Dongmei said anxiously: "I didn't kill anyone! I...I...I was speaking in anger! Then I left!"

Concubine Liu Gui sneered: "You didn't have such an idea in your heart, would you say something like that? No one else was there at the time, you said you left and left? Who can prove it? Your master? You two belonged together, what did you say? You can't believe it!"

   What he said, it is almost obvious that Ning Yue ordered Dongmei to kill Concubine Li Shun.

  Ning Yue said amusedly: "So when I was talking with Concubine Li Shun, you were listening to the corner. Could it be that you didn't like me, killed Concubine Li Shun, and then blamed me?"

   "You...you..." Liu Guifei turned pale, "I... how could I do such a thing? Don't you want to swear?"

Xuan Yin said arrogantly: "I just sprayed you, what's the matter? Show evidence to prove your innocence, who was there at the time? Your maid? That is your own maid. Her testimony is not credible. The imperial concubine hurried to find Other witnesses!"

   Concubine Liu Gui blushed from choking and her neck was thick.

  The King of Nanjiang said in a deep voice: "Stop arguing. Yue'er, Concubine Shun really looked for you?"

Ning Yue came out from behind Xuanyin and said, "Yes, she had a fight with me. She was very fierce and rushed over to arrest me. Dongmei hugged her because she was afraid that I would get hurt. She said something unbearable. As for the purpose, Dongmei couldn't get angry and threatened her a few words."

   "What are you arguing about?" Nanjiang King asked.

Ning Yue's scalp is numb. This question is a bit tricky. The king of Nanjiang who has experienced a betrayal has become very sensitive. If another green hat is revealed, I am afraid that one Buddha will be born and two Buddhas will be nirvana. She who concealed the news was afraid that she would also be implicated in anger.

  At this time, Xuanyin said: "It's nothing serious, just for some gossip. She came to bother Yueyue earlier, but Yueyue ignored her and was sent away by me. I didn't expect to give up yet."

  Nanjiang King asked suspiciously: "What gossip?"

   Concubine Liu Gui lowered her head and Concubine Yan Hui turned her face away. Obviously, the two of them had already heard about it.

   Xuan Yin said with a normal expression: "I don't know which **** passed it on, saying that Concubine Li Shun and the Sixth Prince had committed indecent things."

  The face of the king of Nanjiang turned livid in an instant: "You bastard! You bastard! You bastard!"

In fact, at this point, how the Sixth Prince and Concubine Li Shun have become no longer important, at least for Xuan Yin and Ning Yue, they do not threaten Xuan Yin's throne at all, so Xuan Yin and Ning Yue will not let them go In my heart, but some people who can't see Xuan Yin's life well, just want to bring out this kind of scandal——

  The King of Southern Border was so stimulated that he was dizzy and shook his head on the spot.

  If it was said that Empress Geng had an affair with Island Master Zhao, he was just sad and crushed his self-esteem, but the marriage between his son and his concubine was too much for him to accept.

   In the chest cavity, something seemed to be expanding, which made it difficult for him to breathe.

   "Your Majesty! What's the matter with you, Your Majesty?" Xiao Dezi supported the Nanjiang King, whose complexion was getting paler and paler.

Xuanyin and Ning Yue understood each other's intentions. This conspiracy was not aimed at Ning Yue, but at the King of Nanjiang. Death, in this way, Xuanyin's status will be embarrassing. After all, he has not been formally canonized, and after all, the foundation is not strong enough... If he unites with some old ministries and incites some people, Xuanyin will be farther and farther away from the throne.

"It's ridiculous. When I wanted to be a queen, she came to kill me; when I realized that you couldn't marry her, she came to deal with you again!" Ning Yue said coldly, as if she had already calculated everything in her words. Yan's head.

  Xuanyin stroked Fu Ningyue's shoulder: "I'll take Grandpa Huang home first, you wait for me in the carriage."

  At this time, the King of Southern Border must be kept alive.

  The King of Southern Border has lost consciousness.

  Xiao Dezi asked someone to lift the sedan chair and carried the king of Nanjiang up.

   Concubine Liu Gui asked how to deal with Ning Yue.

   Xuanyin called with a cold voice, and said majestically: "The matter of Concubine Li Shun has nothing to do with Concubine Changsun! If anyone slanders Concubine Changsun again, His Highness will kill her first and then play it!"

   Concubine Liu Gui turned pale with fright.

  Concubine Li Shun's body was transported back to Concubine Shun's Palace. Because she didn't know how the king of Nanjiang would deal with the rumors, Concubine Yan Hui proposed to freeze the body first, and then enshrine Concubine Shun when there was a result there.

Ning Yue has been the empress of Xiliang, and she understands that concubines have a lot of knowledge about encoffining. There are differences in accidental death, murder, and illness. The content and level are mainly determined according to the life experience and contribution of the deceased. For Concubine Li Shun, who has no children in her life and is not very favored, she will be crowned as an imperial concubine and it will be over; if she is favored, some posthumous titles will be added before the title . But at this juncture, there were rumors about Concubine Li Shun and the sixth prince. It's good not to be convicted, but if convicted, Concubine Li Shun will be reprimanded. In that case, the specifications for encoffining will be greatly reduced, and the most serious ones may be shrouded in grass leather and abandoned in the wilderness.

   "Then send someone to guard first." Ning Yue said.

   Concubine Yan Hui arranged for a few smart palace servants and ordered them to guard the corpse day and night. At the end, she quietly asked Ning Yue, "Do you want to notify the sixth prince?"

  Ning Yue said without thinking: "Of course, the concubine mother is gone. As a son, he has to send the concubine mother for the last time."

   "But..." Concubine Yan Hui hesitated, "The rumors in the palace are so powerful that even His Majesty knows now, the two of them, the two of them..."

  Ning Yue said lightly: "Concubine Hui also believes in such pretentious things?"

  Usually, she would respectfully call Concubine Hui Niangniang, but now that the word Niangniang has been removed, Concubine Yan Hui understood that she was angry.

   Concubine Yan Hui said: "It's not that I have to believe it, it's just that people's words can be feared, and everyone's words can make money. Even if it's not true, it's better to avoid suspicion, lest His Majesty blame you..."

   "Since it's not true, there's nothing to avoid suspicion. A gentleman is magnanimous, and his body is not afraid of the shadow slanting. Concubine Hui sends someone to deliver a message to the sixth prince!" The tone was unquestionable. At this time, the more you avoid suspicion, the more ghostly you will appear.

   It’s no wonder that Ning Yue is so persistent and insists on turning black and white, but the king of Nanjiang fell ill on the way back to Beijing, and his body returned to the crooked state before. Besides, to put it bluntly, the Sixth Prince and Concubine Shun didn't bother her and Xuan Yin, they just kept it from them.

   Concubine Yan Hui couldn't hold back Ning Yue, but she didn't want to delay this responsibility. In the end, it was Ning Yue who sent Dongmei to the Sixth Prince's Mansion.

   Soon, the old foreman who had done the autopsy came in again with a toolbox.

   "Concubine Changsun, Concubine Yan Hui." He bowed to the two of them.

   "Stay flat." After a pause, Ning Yue asked: "Mr., haven't you experienced it just now? Do you want to do it again?"

  Wuzuo replied respectfully: "Just now we have just conducted a preliminary examination of the cause of death, and now we need to conduct a comprehensive examination of the corpse to see if there are any other hidden diseases or omissions."

  Ning Yue's eyes swept across Concubine Li Shun's stomach, and said to Concubine Yan Hui: "Msg Hui, shall we go out?"

   "Okay." Concubine Yan Hui didn't want to see Concubine Li Shun disemboweled, it was too scary!

  The two walked out of the dormitory, and Ning Yue's eyes flickered: "My handkerchief fell into it, you wait here for me, I'll go get it."

   Concubine Yan Hui didn't suspect anything.

Ning Yue walked back to the dormitory. He Zuo happened to be pressing Concubine Li Shun's pelvis. He felt something and showed a puzzled look. Afterwards, he separated Concubine Li Shun's legs, took out a special tool, and began to examine the deeper thing.

  Ning Yue calmed down and walked over: "Mr."

  Wu Zuo had a good impression of this concubine who respected him, so he immediately put down his tools and saluted: "Concubine Changsun, this place is too filthy, you should go out for a while."

  Ning Yue's eyelashes trembled, and said: "No problem, although Concubine Li Shun had some troubles with me during her lifetime, in the end, she is His Majesty's concubine. As a junior, I should come to see her off for the last time."

   Wu Zuofu lowered his body: "Concubine Changsun is kind."

  Ning Yuean resisted the panic in her heart, and said calmly: "Mr., how long have you been in the palace?"

  仵 Zuo cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, I've beaten this slave. I can't afford your honorific title. I have been in the palace for forty-one years."

  Ning Yue said kindly: "Then you, like Imperial Physician Xun, are His Majesty's right-hand man."

  仵 Zuo hurriedly said: "The servant is just a humble workman, and he is no better than Doctor Xun who saved lives and healed the wounded."

Ning Yue smiled slightly and said, "Don't underestimate yourself, old man. I'm young, not very sensible, and I don't know much about general principles. I just heard my mother mention it once in a while, saying, 'There is nothing noble in this world. People, lowly people? They are all a piece of brick or a piece of wood. Some wood is used as a beam and is looked up to by people; The wood of the beams, or the wood of the pavement, are indispensable things." Your Majesty has been able to sit firmly on the throne for so many years, and he has worked hard to manage his health. In addition to helping him take care of his health, your autopsy technique has also helped His Majesty. You have solved a lot of unjust cases! If there is anyone who is most loyal to His Majesty in this palace siege, it must be you who does not expect anything in return!"

  Wu Zuo burst into tears: "Concubine Changsun..."

Ning Yue walked up to him and gently lifted his body that was about to kneel down. He hurriedly withdrew his hand for fear of soiling Ning Yue's clean and beautiful clothes, but Ning Yue held him tightly: "Old sir, You are someone His Majesty can trust, and you are also someone His Majesty and I can trust, there are some things that I dare not even say to Your Majesty, but I can tell you."

   Wu Zuo choked up and said, "Concubine Changsun, please tell me!"

  Ning Yue said: "To tell you the truth, Mr. Li, the matter between Concubine Li Shun and the sixth prince...is actually true."

  Wu Zuo suddenly changed color!

Ning Yue looked around and lowered the volume: "On Spirit Snake Island, I discovered the adultery between Concubine Li Shun and the Sixth Prince. At that time, there were indeed some quarrels, but that's all in the past, sir. Trust me, sir, I did not kill Concubine Li Shun."

   Wu Zuo looked into Ning Yue's clean and clear eyes, and nodded with tears in his eyes: "This old servant believes in Concubine Changsun!"

  Ning Yue bowed: "Thank you sir."

  Wu Zuo hurriedly knelt down: "Concubine Changsun, absolutely not!"

   Ning Yue hurriedly helped him up again: "Sir, please stand up and talk. Sir, he just inspected Concubine Li Shun's body. It should be... also found that she had a miscarriage, right?"

  Wu Zuo sighed: "Yes."

  Ning Yue said: "Old man, there is a period, I don't know if I should say it or not."

   "Concubine Changsun, please tell me."

   "That child belongs to the sixth prince."

  Wu Zuo had already guessed it just now, so he wasn't surprised.

"But I hope that the old man will not write this into the autopsy form... No, let His Majesty know about them. You have also seen His Majesty's situation. It is very bad and cannot withstand any further stimulation. The relationship between the Sixth Prince and Concubine Li Shun Spirit Snake Island is over. I can assure you of this. Although the two committed an unforgivable sin, if the price of punishment for this sin is to sacrifice His Majesty's health and life, old man, Yue'er thinks it's not worth it. Ah!" Ning Yue said sincerely.

  Wu Zuo looked at her red eyes, and a battle between heaven and man began in his heart. Since he was sensible, he had learned the art of autopsy from his master, and was elected to the court, becoming the only master in the palace. This practice lasted for forty-one years. In the meantime, he has experienced all cases, large and small, open and dark, intentional and unintentional. But never once did he conceal any information, even if someone put a knife on his neck. However, at this moment, facing the sad eyes of this little girl, he couldn't say anything to refuse.

  Not hiding anything is a teacher's training and the principle of being a human being.

  But this little girl interpreted the profound meaning of being a human being from another angle: not all deflection will bring a bad result; not all integrity will usher in a good ending.

  He lowered his head and said in a low voice: "I've lived my whole life, and I didn't realize it until today."

  He turned around, picked up a pen and wrote three words on the autopsy form—no history of pregnancy.

  …

  The bright sun, hidden in the clouds, occasionally revealed a corner, and shrank back timidly.

  Ning Yue left the palace and got into the carriage.

  Perhaps she was tired, and her head was a little dizzy.

  Waiting for Xuan Yin's time, she fell asleep for a while, but when she opened her eyes, it was actually dark.

   "Linzi." She called the coachman.

  The driver said: "Miss, do you have any orders?"

   "It's too dark, you light a lamp and come in."

  The coachman looked at the big sun above his head with a blank expression on his face.

   It’s the last day, hurry up and hand in your tickets~
