Chapter 405: Contempt for the Existence of the Ministry of Punishment
***
Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang were both shocked when they heard the news.
For no apparent reason, both of these two people from Qixiang Palace were killed.
"The Empress and Concubine Hua are both on their way there now. How about Concubine Hui?"
Xiao Yunzi couldn't interfere with his master's actions, so he could only gently remind her that Shen Meizhuang, as one of the four concubines, should also be present.
"Then I'll go and take a look." Shen Meizhuang was worried about Zhen Huan, but she was also concerned about the dynamics of Qixiang Palace. If someone said that there was no one behind this, Shen Meizhuang would definitely not believe it.
"Sister Mei, I'll go with you." Zhen Huan didn't hesitate for a moment. She got out of bed immediately and asked Jin Xi to change clothes.
"My lady..." Jinxi and Liuzhu couldn't help but stepped forward to persuade her.
"I still haven't found out where the musk in my body came from, but the person who harmed me and Fucha is already dead. This matter cannot be unrelated to me. Maybe I can find some clues by going to Qixiang Palace." Zhen Huan cheered up, put on her coat, and asked Xiao Yunzi to light the lamp and lead the way.
*Qixiang Palace.
When Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang arrived, Qixiang Palace was already brightly lit.
Ling Xiang died suddenly in the side hall where she was confined, leaving two lives behind. Everyone looked inside from afar at the side hall's door and couldn't help but cover their mouths and noses with handkerchiefs, their eyes full of disgust.
This woman has a crooked character and comes from a humble background. Ever since she gained favor, she has stirred up so many disturbances in the harem. She is so charming and has learned all the skills to seduce people.
Compared with the Yuguan woman at that time, Ling Xiang is even more disgusting.
The concubines in the harem were all born into noble families. Even a lady like An Guiren was a legitimate daughter of a clean and honest family.
Naturally, they all looked down on Ling Xiang's style.
To be precise, it is very contemptuous.
I heard that Ling Xiang's blood was all over the bed before she died, but no one noticed.
Everyone just felt it was tragic and didn't think she was pitiful.
When Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang entered the palace, Concubine Jing, Concubine Xin and Concubine Fucha had already arrived.
Concubine Jing called the imperial physician to see if Ling Xiang could be saved. As for the direction of the main hall, rumors about Concubine Li continued to arrive.
“Hahahahaha…it’s not me…it’s not me who harmed you…it was that bitch Ling Xiang who instructed me to do that…”
"Hahahaha, don't come looking for me... I didn't kill you... It was Concubine Hua... She was the one who wanted you to die..."
"She forced me to do this... It's none of my business. God bless me... God save me..."
Concubine Li was talking nonsense, and bursts of sharp and piercing screams came from the main hall.
Every word is exceptionally clear.
Including sending Xiao Yinzi to Yu Guannu to make a knife for Yu Ying'er, adding cassava starch to Ji Nian Princess Wen Yi, deliberately changing Concubine Hua's clothes to the imperial concubine's clothes, and harming Concubine Hua. Lipin told all these things in a crazy manner.
He pieced together a few words here and there, and managed to reveal all the crimes he had committed in the past.
Concubine Jing was the most considerate person among those present, but when she heard about tapioca starch, her face immediately turned cold and she said nothing.
As for Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang and others, they stood quietly aside, listening to the movements in the main hall.
Wei Lin was still examining Ling Xiang's body in the hall.
As for Concubine Li, she is still the mistress of the palace, so naturally no one can touch her.
Xin often pricks up her ears and widens her eyes, not wanting to miss either side.
There is a big news in Qixiang Palace today.
Concubine Li and Concubine Xin rarely interacted with each other. Even in the Qiandi Palace, they had little interaction and didn't even say a few words to each other in private.
But listening to Lipin's crazy talk, she unconsciously connected all the past events in her mind based on Lipin's words, and couldn't help complaining in her heart that with such a brain, she was still harming this and that, and now that no one was forcing her, she just blurted out everything.
It's simply a contempt for the existence of the Ministry of Punishment.
And what was going on with the woman lying dead with a big belly in front of him? She had tried to poison Linglong, and he hadn't even settled the score yet, so how come she was already dead?
According to the general rules of palace fighting, the biological mother usually has to rise up and resist for her children, actively participate in the palace fighting, and finally avenge herself. However, because she has done too many wrong things, it is impossible to undo the damage and she has to sacrifice heroically.
Why didn't this rule work for her?
"Empress Hua is here~" After all, Nian Shilan's pace was a little faster than the Queen's.
Following behind Concubine Hua were An Lingrong and Fucha.
When Concubine Hua heard Concubine Li's crazy talk in the palace, she paused for a moment and walked towards the side hall.
After entering the side hall, the concubines paid their respects to Concubine Hua. Concubine Hua raised her wrist slightly and asked them to stand up.
He took a look at the situation in the inner bedroom from a distance at the door, a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes, and he covered his mouth and nose.
Lipin's crazy words were just the same over and over again, and everyone was looking at the victims, Concubine Hua and Zhen Huan.
These two people were not very conspicuous and their reactions were not as big as Concubine Jing's.
"Go and invite Concubine Li over." Concubine Hua ordered Zhou Ninghai behind her.
"Whoo."
Two eunuchs dragged the crazy Concubine Li directly to the door of the side hall. Concubine Hua and others had already gone out to wait.
Because Concubine Li often denounced eunuchs as "rootless people" in front of others, these eunuchs showed no mercy. In just the short distance from the main hall to the side hall, Concubine Li's shoes had been thrown somewhere, her socks had worn a hole in the ground, and her flesh had been rubbed off on the bluestone slabs.
Lipin's hair was disheveled, her eyes were evasive, and her features were twisted in fear, no longer possessing her former beauty.
"Ah... Your Majesty, help me... Your Majesty, I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong..." Lipin saw Hua Fei from afar, broke free from the restraints of the two eunuchs, crawled in front of Hua Fei, and pulled Hua Fei's skirt to beg for mercy.
"You want me to save you, then tell me who you just said made you do those things? Who is 'she'?"
Concubine Hua bent down, lifted Lipin's chin, hooked her index finger, and spoke to her in a sweet voice.
Lipin, who was originally in a panic, began to avoid looking.
“Who is it? …Who is it… …Hahahaha…It’s…”
"The Empress is here."
Everyone's eyes were focused on Concubine Li, waiting for her to reveal who the "she" she was talking about was, but unexpectedly the Queen suddenly arrived.
It seemed that the eunuch's announcement stimulated Lipin's brain, and Lipin became even more crazy at this moment.
She let go of Hua Fei's skirt and hid aside, holding her head and muttering: "It's not me, don't hurt me, don't come looking for me... It's not me..."
"May the Queen be blessed with good health~" xN
"Everyone, get up." The Queen frowned and looked at Lipin, "What's going on, Lipin...?"
"Your Majesty, Concubine Li has sealed her demon. I just heard that she revealed quite a few things..."
Concubine Hua secretly sighed that the Queen's arrival was just right.
"I heard all this on the way. Concubine Li is really confused. Now she has a demon inside her that she can't get rid of. She has gone crazy, which is her own fault."
