Chapter 444: The Man Who Bribed Mrs. Zheng
Ruoli nodded and handed over the food box: "My queen, please eat something first. It will be bad for your health if you are hungry..."
Since Concubine Liu wanted to take revenge on her, she would definitely not give them much food in the remaining two days.
Concubine Liang glanced at Ruoli.
Perhaps she had regained some strength, her complexion looked much better.
Only then did Concubine Liang take the food box, take out the pastries and start eating.
Ruoli shook out the quilt, wrapped it around Concubine Liang, and snorted coldly, "I don't believe it. With Concubine Gui's temper, she won't lose power again."
"I will remember today's revenge! When the Imperial Concubine falls into your hands one day, we will definitely take revenge on her!"
After finishing the snack, Concubine Liang shook her head and said, "I'm not cold, just cover yourself with the quilt."
The temperature at night is so cold. The Empress usually stays in Changchun Palace and has to cover herself with a silk quilt when she sleeps at night. How could she not be cold?
The queen must have said this on purpose because she was worried that one quilt was not enough and she would catch a cold...
Ruoli was so moved that tears came out: "My lady, your body is precious, it doesn't matter to me."
Concubine Liang looked at her gently and said, "Silly girl, if you follow me, how can I let you suffer?"
"Be obedient and just cover yourself with the quilt."
Ruoli shook his head repeatedly: "How can this be possible..."
Concubine Liang's tone became tougher: "Since when did you stop listening to my orders?"
Ruoli didn't dare to refute, so she had to take the quilt, tears kept circling in her eyes: "My queen..."
Woohoo...it's said that a friend in need is a friend indeed. The Queen is so good to her!
He let her eat first when there was food, and even gave her the only quilt.
Even if it meant dying for the queen, she would be willing to do so!
Concubine Liang leaned against the pillar, a dark light flashed in her eyes, and then she slowly closed her eyes.
If she sleeps like this all night, she will definitely develop a high fever.
Otherwise, how could His Majesty see her grievances?
How to let His Majesty see Concubine Liu's arrogance?
……
Zhongcui Palace.
After listening to Xiao Mingzi's vivid description of these things, everyone did not find it strange at all.
After all, that's the character of the Imperial Concubine. If she doesn't take the opportunity to retaliate against the Imperial Concubine Liang, then it would be like the sun rising in the west.
Handan lowered her head and smiled: "Madam Liangfei usually looks healthy, but I wonder if she can endure three days of suffering in Qin'an Palace?"
Shen Zhinian held the Fourth Prince and teased him for a while, and he suddenly burst into tears.
When he encountered this situation for the first time, Shen Zhinian, who was always calm and composed, actually panicked.
Later, I learned from Nanny Lin and the wet nurse that the Fourth Prince was fine, he was just hungry.
At this time, she skillfully handed the fourth prince to the wet nurse and took him down to feed him.
Shen Zhinian then looked at Handan and answered her question: "No matter whether Concubine Liang's body can hold on or not, the final result is that she will not be able to hold on."
Because with Concubine Liang's shrewdness, how could she miss such a good opportunity?
Concubine Liu was born into a noble family and had been spoiled since childhood. She eventually lost her temper. As soon as she got back the power, she couldn't wait to take action against Concubine Liang.
Although Shen Zhinian's words were a bit confusing, the people present understood the meaning after a brief thought.
Handan smiled and said, "Let them fight. This way, no one will be so blind as to plot against the Queen and the Fourth Prince."
Shen Zhinian was not in such a relaxed mood.
Because she knew that all the calmness in Zhongcui Palace now was just a sign of the coming storm.
After all, she had become the leader of the four concubines, deeply favored by the emperor, and had a prince by her side. How could she stay out of the bloody storm in the harem?
Maybe someone has been brewing some conspiracy and waiting for her without her knowing...
What Shen Zhinian has to do is to counter the opponent's moves and retaliate without mercy!
Only in this way can we deter those who want to target her and A Xu!
Shen Zhinian looked at Yuan Bao and asked, "Your Majesty has had Zheng Po brought to the Ministry of Punishment for several days, but there is still no result from the interrogation?"
Yuanbao has been following up on this matter.
Hearing this, he took a step forward and said respectfully, "Your Highness, I have sent people to inquire every day, but Eunuch Su from the Ministry of Punishment only said that no results have been obtained yet. If there is any progress, I will send someone to Zhongcui Palace to inform Your Highness as soon as possible."
Shen Zhinian frowned slightly.
Not right.
If things were really that simple, Su Quanye wouldn't have remained so tight-lipped.
Is there something inside that she doesn't know?
Only the emperor can order Su Quanye.
For the sake of the stability of the harem, or for other reasons, Nangong Xuanyu didn't let Su Quanye tell her the truth?
Although Shen Zhinian guessed this, he couldn't be sure.
Because she believed that she and the fourth prince together must have a high weight in Nangong Xuanyu's heart. Who has the strength to murder them and still be protected by the emperor?
Instead of guessing, it’s better to ask Nangong Xuanyu directly.
Even if the man didn't tell her the truth, she could still get some clues from his reaction.
Anyway, during her pregnancy, Nangong Xuanyu had already developed the habit of coming to Zhongcui Palace every day. After the fourth prince was born, he loved her even more and came to see her every day.
Just wait quietly.
……
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
Su Quanye knelt on the ground and presented the evidence in his hand, lowering his head and saying, "Your Majesty, after investigation, I found that the person who bribed Mrs. Zheng was Han."
Nangong Xuanyu frowned: "Who is Han?"
Li Changde said quickly, "Your Majesty, it was Han Yingying before. You demoted her to a court lady and asked her to serve the Empress Defei."
Nangong Xuanyu then remembered this person and gestured to Su Quanye to continue with a serious face.
"...Han asked Zheng to take advantage of the opportunity to injure the uterus of Concubine Xian when she was delivering her baby, so that Concubine Xian could no longer have children."
"As long as the mother and child are safe, others will not be suspicious. They will only think that the virtuous concubine, like the noble concubine, was injured during childbirth."
Nangong Xuanyu's eyes were burning with rage: "How dare you!"
Nian Nian will have a second, third, and fourth child with him in the future. How dare they want Nian Nian to never be a mother again? !
The palace servants in the Yangxin Palace knelt on the ground in an instant: "Your Majesty, calm down!"
Su Quanye continued under pressure, "...Han also told Zheng Pozi that if this plan failed, she would poison the food of Concubine Xian and murder her."
Nangong Xuanyu sneered: "Even if a government official's daughter has such courage, how can she have such extraordinary abilities?"
"I don't believe that the real culprit behind this is Han. Who is the person behind her?!"
Su Quanye thought to himself, His Majesty is worthy of being called the Emperor. He knew it before he even finished his report.
Thinking about what he was going to say next, Su Quanye became even more nervous...
