Chapter 60 Eyewitness

"Mother, please go back first. I'll leave this to you." Li Qingxiao tried his best to calm himself down, for fear that his elderly mother could not stand such a change and get sick, so he had to persuade him first.

I'm afraid there are many things to solve next. How much he attaches importance to this child in the concubine's womb in his heart. Everyone sees it. The noble concubine will never fall into the water like this, but where did her maid of honor go? He is full of doubts. If it is not clear, he will never stop this time.

"The pain in the heart of the mourning family, the grandson of the mourning family..." With that, Li Qingxiao motioned the maid of honor to help the empress dowager back to the hall first. The empress dowager did not say much, and the severe pain had made her have no time to care about it.

After the Empress Dowager left, the pool suddenly became quiet. No one dared to speak and even held his breath. I don't know if the noble concubine who has died at this moment, if she listens to the Empress Dowager's words and regrets her departure, she regrets the prince in her womb, will she cry and break her heart to the bottom of the valley?

Yufei stood beside the queen, but did not pay attention to the dead people on the ground, but she saw Yao Yulu in the crowd without comment. She was shocked. There was no show girl here. Is it related to her sister again?

Xiao Shufei's face also seemed to be sad, but she was really proud, but by the way, who in this concubine was not afraid of others having imperial heirs to compete for favor? When such a thing happened, the noble concubine was just sad on her face, but she was happy.

"Who found the noble concubine?" Li Qingxiao asked in a low voice. Although the voice was not loud, he could not hide the majesty and anger in his breath.

Just now, the old internal supervisor carefully said, "If you go back to the emperor, it's the beautiful girl."

Li Qingxiao took the opportunity to look and saw a handkerchief on the face of the beautiful woman standing not far away, but he still recognized it - it was Yao Yulu.

"It's exactly... It's a people's daughter."

"How can it be you again?"

"The woman is going to the imperial hospital to return the bowl, and she saw someone in the water on the way..."

"Okay, I'll listen to you later. Come and call the maids in the noble palace to the Qiankun Hall. You and the internal supervisor just now will come to me." Li Qingxiao pointed to Yao Yulu and commanded others to find the maid of honor to ask questions.

In the Qiankun Hall, Yue'er and several other maids of honor have arrived in the hall. Li Qingxiao looked down at His Highness's maids high and frowned slightly and asked, "Tell me why the noble concubine ran to the pool alone."

Yueer's eyes were red at this moment. Others seemed to feel that they were very sad because of the death of the noble concubine. She said sadly, "The Empress said early in the morning that she would go to pick some dew in the garden to make tea for the emperor, but she didn't let the slaves and maidservants follow her. Unexpectedly... I didn't expect such a thing to happen."

"Don't you know that the noble concubine is pregnant? How dare you let her go out alone? How can you be a slave!"

Yueer was so scared that she cried and knelt on the ground and begged, "Your Majesty, please spare my life. The Empress has always treated Yueer well. If she knew that such a thing would happen, how could she not let the Empress go alone? This morning is not a slave on duty. It's her." Yue'er said, pointing to the little maid who knelt next to her and said, Yao Yulu fixed her eyes at the young maid who couldn't bear to beat her last time.

The little maid was shocked. She looked up and saw that the emperor was staring at her angrily and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, I went to help my mother-in-law get something in the morning, and when she came back, she lost her figure. It has nothing to do with me."

At this time, the queen next to her said, "Your little maidservant is not worthy to serve the noble concubine and run at will, and his crime should be punished!"

Li Qingxiao listened to the queen's words and scolded angrily, "The queen is right. Come, pull it out and kill it."

The little maid was so scared that she turned pale and begged bitterly: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. The queen, I know what'm wrong, and I know what'm wrong."

"Come on, pull it out." The queen said without giving the little maid a chance to say more.

Two bodyguards came forward and dragged the little maid out of the hall. The little maid was so scared that she couldn't stand on her feet and kept muttering, but Li Qingxiao didn't even look at it.

Yue'er was also shocked by this scene. She gently held her chest with her hand and said, "Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with me. Please forgive me."

"Yes, emperor, the noble concubine has always treated Yue'er very well. Presumably, the noble concubine doesn't want to see any mistake in the moon that has been with her for many years. It's better for the emperor to punish her lightly."

Li Qingxiao frowned, ignored the queen's words, and said, "Yao Yulu, come to the hall."

Yao Yulu knew that it was finally her turn. She breathed a sigh of relief, eased her mood, and said, "Yao Yulu, a daughter of the people, has seen the emperor."

"Why is your face covered with half a silk handkerchief?"

"Yes...yes..." Yao Yulu stuttered. If it is true, it must be suspected by the emperor, but how can this be said to be decent?

Just as she was thinking about it, Li Qingxiao interrupted her first. Li Qingxiao said, "Okay, you explain to me the situation this morning first."

Yao Yulu was relieved. She didn't know how to tell a lie, but the emperor ignored her at this moment. She said, "Yesterday, the woman wanted to borrow a bowl from the Tai Hospital. This morning, she returned the bowl back to the Tai Hospital and passed the imperial garden. She inadvertently saw a figure floating in the pool, so she immediately called others."

Yao Yulu said truthfully that she just happened to meet and felt that there was nothing wrong.

But Yao Yujiao, who was beside her, frowned slightly and seemed to be a little anxious. She thought to herself that this Yao Yulu actually had something to do with such a trouble, and she didn't know why she had a handkerchief on her face. She thought, but she was even more anxious, afraid that Yao Yulu would finally fade out of everyone's sight and make another mistake.

Li Qingxiao looked at Yao Yulu and saw that her expression was not panicked. Although he wondered why it had something to do with her, he still felt that Yao Yulu's words were true. He said, "Is that so?"

Yao Yulu replied respectfully, "What the women said is true." She was relieved to see that Li Qingxiao did not ask too many questions.

Unexpectedly, when she was quiet in this hall for a moment, Concubine Xiao came forward and said, "Your Majesty, my concubine is also very sad for the noble concubine, but at this moment, I don't know whether to say something."

Li Qingxiao said in a calm voice, "You can say it."

Concubine Xiao said gently: "Yesterday, when I passed through the imperial garden, I saw that Yao Xiunu didn't know how to make the noble concubine angry. She was slapped by the noble concubine, and then she was punished to kneel down. Presumably, the silk handkerchief on Yao Xiunu's face was also worn to cover the scars. Today, such a thing happened to the noble concubine... I also hope that the emperor It's clear that you are fair. After saying that, Xiao Shufei bent down and knelt down and begged.
