Chapter 24 Guess
Until late at night, the news of the queen's miscarriage spread all over the palace. Xingdu Simei immediately rushed to the palace after receiving the order. On the way, he vaguely felt that the queen's abortion was not a simple thing. He remembered what the queen said before: Since the emperor wanted to kill people with a knife, he would replace the person he wanted to kill for the fetus in the palace.
At that time, Mei Nianfa did not understand the meaning of Queen Renchen's sentence, but when he heard the news of the queen's miscarriage, he still broke out in a cold sweat. On the other hand, the queen's abortion does not need to call her as a criminal department, that is to say, the queen's abortion is man-made, so who will be the person who caused the queen's abortion?
Wait, the queen was not pregnant at that time. Did she know in advance that she would be pregnant and have a miscarriage? This is impossible. How important is the pregnancy of the queen of a country? How can it be faked? Unless Dr. Jiang has been bought by the queen, resulting in a fake pregnancy.
Thinking of this, Mei Nianfa understood that the queen wanted to get pregnant and get rid of someone in the court, but who would this person be? Who are the biggest threats to the queen and Zhao Shun?
Although she had been prepared for a long time, when she heard that Emperor Qi was furious and summoned Xing Du Simei to enter the palace overnight, Yuan was still afraid. She even regretted why she had made such a dangerous move. She repeatedly asked her maidservant Yueer if anyone saw it when she put the saffron, but Yueer always answered with certainty that no one saw it, which also made Yuan concubine somewhat at ease.
Queen Renchen lying in **'s face was extremely pale, with fine sweat oozing from her forehead and muttering: "My child, child..."
Emperor Qi sitting by the bed looked at the weak look of Empress Renchen, and his heart actually raised his guilt. He held the queen's hand tightly and kept saying, "It's okay, queen, it's okay."
When Mei Nianfa rushed to the Queen's Hall, Dr. Jiang and the medical woman in charge of boiling medicine knelt down on the ground and lowered their heads, followed Mei Nianfa to the Queen's Hall by Empress Dowager Renyu.
"Your Majesty, how is the queen now?" The Empress Dowager Renyu looked at the queen lying in ** with concern and asked in a low voice, "Child, hasn't the child been preserved?"
"Empress dowager, queen, she has a miscarriage." Emperor Qi's tone was full of grief.
"What? Unexpectedly, I had a miscarriage?"
"Yes, the child has ordered someone to investigate this matter thoroughly."
Investigation? Is it possible that the queen's abortion was deliberately done? Who would have done such a terrible thing?"
"Department of Criminal Justice, I ordered you to thoroughly investigate the queen's abortion." Emperor Qi stood up and said, "And arrest all the medical girls in the Imperial Hospital that day. I must thoroughly investigate this matter."
Mei Nianfa thought, was this saffron put by the queen herself? If so, what's the use of arresting the medical lady in the hospital? Does the queen have any other intentions? No, the queen's purpose will definitely not be a medical girl, so who will it be? Since it happened late at night and in an extremely secret deep palace, is it that the queen's real purpose is a lady in the deep palace?
"Your Majesty, Weichen believes that not only should all the doctors on duty be interrogated on that day, but also thoroughly investigate the alibi of every maid and palace person in the palace." Mei Nianfa said.
"It makes sense. I ordered you to thoroughly investigate the alibi of every maid and palace person tonight, and if you find suspicious, you can use punishment."
"Weichen obeys the order."
After an order, the whole palace fell into a sleepless night. Mei Nianfa summoned nearly 30 men to check the alibi of each maid one by one. Although the total number of palace and palace maids in the whole palace is quite large, the palace maids in each place will be under the jurisdiction, so you only need to ask the matan and palace manager of each place to know the general whereabouts of each maid and palace maid.
When the fish belly was white in the east, Mei Nianfa's subordinates had excluded nearly four-fifths of the number of people, and the remaining one-fifth was the deep palace where the concubines lived. Because the deep palace is the place where the concubines live, Mei Nianfa only asked his subordinates to ask one by one, but the final result was that no maids or palace people had been to the imperial hospital at that time.
Such a result made Mei Nianfa a little sure that the abortion medicine was put in the medicine by the queen herself, so no suspect could be found.
"Mother, what should I do?" Yueer, who had just been questioned, changed her previous confident appearance and said in a panic, "Why did you come here? Could it be that the emperor already knows that it is..."
" shut up." Concubine Yuan interrupted Yueer and said, "It can't be so fast, absolutely impossible. What's more, it's not only us who took over the question, but also other people. There is no evidence that we did it at all.
"But..."
"But what?"
"I'm still a little worried."
"Well, as long as we insist that we don't know, what can we do?"
Although she said so, Yuan's heart was extremely nervous, but what was more nervous than her was Wu Jinsong, the financial secretary who had just received the news. Although he really wants to go to the palace immediately to see what happened, the time for early morning has not yet come. If he enters the palace suddenly, it will definitely be suspicious.
Long knew that his daughter could not calm down, and Wu Jinsong regretted why he sent his daughter to the palace at the beginning, otherwise this kind of thing would not have happened. If it is true, it is a great crime to destroy the nine races. Every time he thinks of this, he regrets it.
In a blink of an eye, it was early morning, and all the ministers clearly saw that Emperor Qi's face was very bad. Naturally, they knew what was going on in their hearts, but everyone tacitly didn't mention it. During this period, Emperor Qi consciously or unintentionally observed Zhao Shun's face, but Zhao Shun seemed to be very calm. He thought that Zhao Shun would definitely take advantage of this matter to plunge the whole court into chaos, but to his surprise, Zhao Shun did not mention it at all.
After the end of the morning, Emperor Qi summoned Zhao Shun to Yonghe Hall alone, while Wu Jinsong hesitated whether he should go to Yuan's place, but when he saw Li Dusi striding towards the deep palace, he had an idea to catch up with him.
"Lord Beitang, where are you going?"
"Oh, it's Lord Wu. Something terrible happened in the palace last night. I went to the concubine to have a look.
"That's it."
"Presumably Lord Wu is also worried about the safety of the Empress Yuan, so he wants to go to the Empress, right?"
Wu Jinsong said with a smile, "Exactly, then I won't bother you."
"Hmm."
Beitang Qi looked at Wu Jinsong's departure and remembered the words of his daughter Jiafei: Someone will always find a way to get rid of the piece of meat in the queen's stomach. We just need to wait quietly to watch the play.
So did her daughter have expected that the queen would have a miscarriage? Or did your daughter do this?
No, no. It is absolutely impossible for Jiafei to do such a reckless thing.
When Beitang Qi saw Jiafei, she saw that she was drinking tea leisurely. Such a big thing happened in the palace that she was still in the mood to drink tea.
"I said, why are you still in the mood to drink tea?"
Jiafei put down the teacup, looked at Beitangqi with a sweaty face and said, "It's sultry. Drink some tea to get rid of the fire."
"I heard that someone put abortion medicine in the Queen's medicine last night, and this matter..."
"Does my father think I did it?"
"It's not that I don't know your nature. You can't do such a reckless thing. I just want to know who did this?"
"No matter who did this, I want to thank her." Jiafei said with a smile, "I have said that the softness in the queen's stomach is impossible to come to this world, haha...haha..."
"So in your opinion, who is most likely to do this?"
"Father, did you meet anyone when you first came here?"
"Who did you meet? Oh, by the way, I met the Finance Department. Beitangqi suddenly realized and said, "Is this done by Yuan Concubine?"
"I don't think it's ten..." Jiafei said.
"This is a great crime to destroy the nine clans..."
"That's right, destroy the nine races." Jiafei picked up the teacup again and took a sip of the fragrant tea. "However, I always feel strange in my heart..."
