Chapter 1065 No matter who he suspected, he would never suspect Nian Nian
Xuanpin raised her chin, not showing any fear at all.
She really didn't like to cause trouble, nor did she want to cause trouble for her sister, Concubine Chen. She just wanted to raise the Sixth Prince in the palace, go to Zhongcui Palace from time to time to play the pipa for her sister, Concubine Chen, and live a leisurely and comfortable life.
So it doesn't matter how others target her, she can endure it, but she just can't offend Sister Concubine Chen!
Sister Concubine Chen is so good to her. If she can't protect her, wouldn't she be ungrateful?
If anyone else were exposed like this by Xuanpin, they would definitely be furious and ashamed.
Concubine Zhuang had no extra expression on her face, and she still looked gentle: "As sisters in the harem, how could I possibly hope that something bad would happen to Sister Chun?"
"But compared to that, I am more concerned about your majesty's dragon body."
This is true.
No matter how precious the women in the harem are, they cannot compare to Your Majesty.
After all, Concubine Zhuang's status was higher than hers, so Concubine Xuan couldn't do anything too much. She snorted and didn't respond.
Little did she know that Concubine Zhuang was not angry, but Ruoli, who was standing behind her, was extremely angry.
In the past, when the Queen was one of the Four Concubines, Concubine Xuan was just a small maid who didn't even have the qualifications to talk to the Queen.
Now she thinks that she can have a worry-free future by climbing up the high branch of Concubine Chen? She even dares to mock the Empress!
It's only because the Empress has a good temper. If it were her, she would have had Concubine Xuan dragged down and slapped in the face!
Xing'er was just an ordinary palace maid, how could she bear the punishment of the Ministry of Punishment? She soon confessed everything.
Su Quanye presented her confession and reported: "...Your Majesty, Xing'er confessed to poisoning Concubine Chun."
"She said that someone offered her a large sum of money and gave her the snow silkworm molt so that she could take advantage of the opportunity to put it in Concubine Chun's food. If we can get rid of Concubine Chun and the heir to the throne at the same time, it would be the best!"
Hearing this, Concubine Chun turned pale, feeling both frightened and angry: "Xing'er actually betrayed me..."
"Who is it? Who wants to harm me?!"
Shen Zhinian was not surprised by this, and a barely visible curve appeared at the corner of his lips.
She just watched quietly to see how the play would unfold.
For a moment, everyone in the inner room was worried that the fire would burn them.
Nangong Xuanyu asked in a deep voice: "Who is the person who ordered Xing'er?"
Su Quanye raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and continued, "Your Majesty, according to Xing'er's account, the person behind the scenes is very cunning. He always meets her through the flowers and never lets Xing'er see his true face. Therefore, Xing'er doesn't know who the person who instigated her is..."
"This is the banknote that I found from the bricks under Xing'er's bed based on her confession."
Concubine Chun looked sad: "I was so good to Xing'er, but I didn't expect that she would betray me for a little benefit and want to kill me and my child..."
Everyone couldn't help but sigh: "This is how money can move people's hearts!"
"A palace maid thought that she could live and enjoy the money after receiving money to harm her master? She is really short-sighted!"
"If Xing'er wasn't so short-sighted, she wouldn't have been taken advantage of."
"I just don't know who instructed her to do this?"
"..."
However, just as Su Quanye said, the person who bribed Xing'er never revealed his true identity. There are countless palace servants in the palace. Even if we investigate them one by one, we may not get any results even if we search for a long time...
Concubine Chun had a pale face, and she covered her belly and cried bitterly: "Wuwu... Your Majesty, ever since I became pregnant, I have been resting in Shuixi Pavilion and rarely going out. I really don't know who I have offended. Someone actually planned to get rid of me..."
"I heard that the poison of snow silkworm exuvia will kill you in less than a lamp's time after taking it..."
"That man is so cruel, please help me and our child!"
Nangong Xuanyu looked at Su Quanye coldly: "I asked you to investigate, and you only found these insignificant things?"
Su Quanye quickly apologized: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I have already ordered people to investigate Xing'er's background and see who she has been in contact with recently."
At this time, a young eunuch from the Ministry of Punishment ran over and whispered something in Su Quanye's ear.
After listening to this, he looked at Shen Zhinian in surprise and his face turned even paler.
Why are these living ancestors in the palace never at peace? If he offends anyone, he will easily die without a burial place...
Su Quanye now envied Li Changde more and more.
Why does he have to work with his head on the line every day, while Li Changde can eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks beside His Majesty?
However, it was useless to think about these things now. Su Quanye could only tremble and say, "Your Majesty, there is one more thing..."
Nangong Xuanyu said impatiently: “Speak!”
Su Quanye's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He took a few deep breaths before mustering up the courage to say, "According to investigations, before the incident, Xing'er had taken advantage of the night to wander around the Zhongcui Palace several times..."
For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Shen Zhinian.
Shen Zhinian was not panicked at all. Facing Concubine Chun's angry gaze, she asked with a half-smile, "Why? Concubine Chun, after hearing this, do you think Xing'er was instructed by me?"
Concubine Chun gritted her teeth and suppressed her resentment: "I dare not..."
"But who knows why Xing'er was sneaking around Zhongcui Palace late at night. Did she do something shameful?"
Someone asked in surprise, "So, Xing'er just said that she didn't know who gave her the snow silkworm shell. It's very likely that she was deliberately creating confusion to protect her real master?"
If even the ladies and concubines in the harem could figure it out, how could Su Quanye not understand it?
It was only because His Majesty and so many masters were waiting here that he took Xing'er's confession as soon as the interrogation results came out.
Nangong Xuanyu’s face was as dark as ink.
No matter who he suspected, he would never suspect Nian Nian.
But as an emperor, he must be fair in his actions under the watchful eyes of the public.
Nangong Xuanyu had lost his patience and waited for the Ministry of Punishment to interrogate him again. He said in a deep voice, "Bring that slave girl here!"
Su Quanye replied "yes" and immediately asked the eunuch from the Ministry of Punishment to do it.
Soon, Xing'er was brought over.
At this time, her clothes were covered in blood and her body was covered with wounds of varying sizes. She looked completely different from when she was dragged away.
Seeing this scene, the timid ones turned pale with fear.
Others covered their mouths and noses with handkerchiefs in disgust.
Xing'er ignored the pain in her body and knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Majesty, I was blinded by money and made a big mistake..."
"Your Majesty, please spare my life! Your Majesty, please spare my life!"
Concubine Chun looked at her with disappointment and pain.
