Chapter 864 Why does she want to harm me?
All the palace maids were so happy that they all knelt on the ground and said excitedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After all, when serving in the palace, they all hope that their masters will have good news. Because if their masters are happy, they will also receive generous rewards.
When the Queen gave birth to the sixth prince, she rewarded them with a whole year's salary. This is equivalent to getting a year's salary for free without having to work!
Who isn’t happy!
For a moment, Lanyuexuan was filled with a joyous atmosphere.
Xuanpin continued, "There are also Imperial Doctor Tang and Nanny Lin. If it weren't for them, I and the Sixth Prince would have been in great danger..."
"Zhu'er, you must send them a more generous reward!"
Zhu Er bowed and said, "My lady, I understand!"
The only thing that makes Xuanpin sad now is that after the confinement period, she will have to move out of Zhongcui Palace.
Fortunately, Chengqian Palace and Zhongcui Palace are close to each other, so it will be convenient for her to bring the Sixth Prince to visit her sister, Concubine Chen.
……
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
Nangong Xuanyu was discussing matters with his trusted ministers.
There was another victory report from the battle between the Great Zhou and the Huns, and the emperor was very pleased!
A minister smiled and said, "Your Majesty, General Zhou led a cavalry unit to raid the Xiongnu army, which severely damaged them. It is true that a tiger father will have a dog son!"
Nangong Xuanyu's eyes were full of admiration: "Zhou Yuxi is indeed a son of a general!"
Although General Zhou is a fierce general of the Great Zhou, he is getting older after all. In addition, coupled with the hidden injuries he suffered on the battlefield in the past, no one knows how many more years he can hold on.
Seeing how outstanding Zhou Yuxi is, neither the emperor nor the ministers have to worry about the lack of successors to the military generals of the Great Zhou. How can this not be exciting!
Half an hour later.
Many political issues have been discussed.
Nangong Xuanyu thought of another thing, and looked at Gu Jinxiao and said, "My dear Gu, the day after tomorrow will be the ceremony for conferring the title of Consort Chen. I still appoint you as the envoy for conferring the title, and there must be no mistakes in this matter!"
Gu Jinxiao was wearing a scarlet official robe, standing in the center of the hall, tall and graceful, with clear eyes and eyebrows: "I will definitely fulfill your mission!"
Then, Nangong Xuanyu waved his hand, and the ministers bowed and left.
Not long after, Li Changde walked in from outside, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Su Quanye wants to see you."
On the night of Concubine Xuan's delivery, she was almost murdered. Nangong Xuanyu was furious and ordered the Shenxingsi to investigate the matter thoroughly.
Today is the third day and there is finally a result.
The emperor put down the memorial in his hand, and said with a gloomy look in his eyes: "Send him in!"
"Yes."
Su Quanye walked in from outside, knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "Your servant pays homage to His Majesty, long live His Majesty!"
Nangong Xuanyu motioned for him to stand up and asked coldly, "What did you find out?!"
Su Quanye told the whole story in detail: "Your Majesty, I have thoroughly investigated all the palace servants involved in this matter, and finally found that the two apprentices of Tang Imperial Physician, Xiao Chenzi and Xiao Xiangzi, did not tamper with Concubine Xuan's labor-inducing medicine."
"On their way to the delivery room with the medicine, they met the palace maid Jie'er. Because Jie'er was serving in Lanyue Pavilion and went to see how the labor-inducing medicine was doing, Xiao Chenzi and Xiao Xiangzi didn't think much of it."
"It was eventually discovered that Jie'er took advantage of the darkness of the night and sprinkled the Bai Qi hidden in her hand into the medicine bowl."
"After interrogation by the servants, Jie'er confessed to the matter."
A dangerous light flashed in the emperor's dark eyes: "Why did Jie'er do this?"
Su Quanye continued, "Your Majesty, at first, Jie'er refused to tell the real reason. She only said that when she was working for Concubine Xuan, she was scolded by her for not doing her job well, so she has been holding a grudge and waiting for an opportunity to take revenge."
"But being scolded by the master is common in the palace. I don't believe that Jie'er would risk having her entire family executed just because she suffered a little injustice and plot to murder Concubine Xuan and the Sixth Prince."
"Moreover, I asked the palace servants of Lanyuexuan, and they all said that Concubine Xuan was the kindest master and had never embarrassed the palace servants. What Jie'er said is completely untrue."
"After investigation, I finally discovered that... Jie'er and the woman from the Qiuguan section of Lanxin Pavilion are from the same hometown, and they have been in frequent contact recently."
At this point, Su Quanye cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please make the decision!"
Although Qiu was only a court lady, she was still His Majesty's woman. Without His Majesty's order, the Ministry of Punishment would not dare to do anything rashly to her.
Nangong Xuanyu frowned, seeming a little confused: "Who is the Qiuguan girl?"
Li Changde said, "Your Majesty, she is the one who lives in the left hall of Jingyang Palace. She used to be Qiu's concubine. Because she stopped your guard of honor in the imperial garden without permission and spoke wildly, you ordered her to be demoted to a court lady."
After Li Changde said this, Nangong Xuanyu finally had some impression.
Because there are very few women in the palace who are so brave as to speak to him like that.
She might think she is very special, but when Nangong Xuanyu looks at her, he feels that this woman has no rules and is an eyesore.
The emperor had no favor towards the Qiu official's daughter, so naturally he would not show mercy. He looked at Su Quanye and said, "Take Qiu to the Ministry of Punishment for careful interrogation to see if this matter has anything to do with her!"
With the emperor's oral order, Su Quanye felt relieved and said, "I obey your command!"
After this episode, he took his leave and went back to his busy work.
……
Zhongcui Palace.
Shen Zhinian naturally also knew the latest news.
She got up and went to the side hall.
Xuanpin was holding the Sixth Prince in her arms. The more she looked at him, the more fond of him she felt. She thought his little feet were sweet and cute.
I couldn't help but want to take a bite...
Hearing the palace servant's voice, Concubine Xuan asked curiously, "Sister Concubine Chen, why are you here?"
Zhu'er immediately moved a chair over and placed it next to the bed.
After Shen Zhinian sat down, he told Su Xuanye everything he had found out.
After hearing this, Xuanbin's face instantly turned cold!
She handed the Sixth Prince to the nurse and asked with a frown, "...Qiu Guan's daughter? I almost forgot that there is such a person in the palace."
"I have no grudge against her in the past or today, why would she want to harm me?!"
"And does a government official's daughter have such great abilities?"
The emperor had already ordered the Ministry of Punishment to investigate the matter, so even Shen Zhinian couldn't intervene rashly. Otherwise, wouldn't it mean that she didn't trust the emperor and interfered without authorization?
Shen Zhinian said: "The Ministry of Punishment has taken the Qiuguan girl away. Whether this incident was caused by her or not, I believe there will be a result soon."
"Sister Xuanpin, let's just wait patiently."
Xuanpin was still in confinement after childbirth, so she couldn't do anything about it. She could only nod and say, "...Okay."
Shen Zhinian then said, "You should have more people to serve you."
