"Why don't you kneel down and thank me!"

Mother Zhao knelt down when she heard the sound, kowtowed loudly, and said in a trembling voice: "Slave, I don't know anything!"

Concubine Hui smiled very gently: "If you have anything to say, you can talk to me at the Department of Punishment of the Ministry of Internal Affairs before it's too late!" She stood up and blessed Concubine Xiao: "In this case, I will take this slave away!

I hope my sister won’t be offended if I offend you!”

Concubine Xiao smiled faintly and said: "Such a slave who commits crimes should be taken down for interrogation." Meng Cheng was overjoyed when he heard this. With a wave of his hand, two eunuchs came forward to replace Zhao's mother.

He was detained. Previously, he had been worried that Concubine Xiao would jump over the wall in a hurry and kill Mother Zhao, which would lead to her death without evidence.

Now I finally feel relieved.

After the business was done, Concubine Hui was about to leave, but Concubine Xiao suddenly asked her to stay. "Sister, please stay!" She pointed at Meng Cheng and others and said, "You guys go down first!"

Meng Cheng's expression changed slightly, but he did not dare to disobey the imperial concubine and led everyone out of the main hall of Chengqian Palace. Before leaving, he glanced at Concubine Hui somewhat uneasily.

Concubine Hui was not afraid at all. After everyone retreated, she asked with a smile, "Sister, do you have any other instructions?"

Concubine Xiao stared into her eyes with sharp eyes and asked lightly: "I just want to hear what my sister has to say. Do you also think that I am the murderer this time?"

Concubine Hui always had a decent smile, and no one could find any flaws: "In order to please their masters, slaves sometimes do things behind their backs that they think are good for their masters!"

Concubine Xiao's expression changed: "Do you really think so?"

Concubine Hui said: "I don't have any ideas of my own regarding this matter!"

"Hahaha!" Concubine Xiao burst into laughter: "Sister, I must help me to find out who is the one who harmed the heir in the Crown Princess's belly? I am also very curious!"

In the careful punishment department.

Mother Zhao was tortured one after another with various torture instruments, and her life was soon reduced to half. Meng Cheng stood aside with a ferocious look on his face: "Where is Jinzhan now? Who is the mastermind behind the murder of the emperor's heir?"

!”

Mother Zhao only asked for the part where she was Jinzhan's mother. No matter how much she hit or asked, she just said: "I don't know, I really don't know! Please forgive me, my dear! Please forgive me, father-in-law!"

"You old gangster who won't shed tears until he sees the coffin!" Meng Cheng smiled cruelly and gave her a whip: "I didn't expect you to have such backbone!"

"I want to see if it's your mouth that's tough, or my whip, the instrument of torture! Who's here? Hit me again! Hit me hard!"

Concubine Hui was sitting in the corner of the torture chamber, and such a horrific punishment was being performed in front of her eyes, but she didn't even blink an eyelid. Her courage alone made Meng Cheng admire her.

"Stop!" Concubine Hui sighed faintly. "She probably really doesn't know! If she really knew something, Imperial Concubine wouldn't have handed her over to us so happily! Since she didn't know, she wouldn't dare to Catch and bite randomly!”

Meng Cheng said anxiously: "This old servant refuses to speak to death. How will this matter be resolved? Otherwise, if we ask for an order to capture and torture the eldest aunt from Chengqian Palace, we will definitely be able to pry it out of her mouth." Come up with something!"

Concubine Hui said calmly: "In that case, please ask your father-in-law to go to Qianqing Palace to request an order!"

When Meng Cheng heard this, he immediately shrank. Nonsense! If Concubine Hui hadn't been there to support him, how could he have dared to bring bad luck to Qian Palace?

Concubine Hui said: "Since all the clues have been cut off! We should tell the truth to the emperor. The emperor is wise and has his own judgment! Let's not worry about other things!"

In the Qianqing Palace, the emperor looked at the files compiled by Concubine Hui and said in a bitter tone: "I want the truth, is it really so difficult?"

Concubine Hui stood up and knelt on the ground: "I am a stupid slave. I have disobeyed the emperor's trust. Please punish me!"

Only then did the emperor feel that his tone was a little harsh. He ordered: "Chen Jia, go and help your mistress up."

Chen Jia helped Concubine Hui, who sat down on the chair. The emperor said softly: "I have worked hard for my concubine these days. I know it is really difficult for you to ask your concubine to do this, but with such a big harem, I really can't find anyone I can trust!" As he spoke, the orthodox emperor's words were somewhat sad.

Concubine Hui said: "Your Majesty, all the clues have been cut off now! There is no clue about the source of saffron and musk. If we continue the investigation, I am afraid it will affect the foundation of the harem. I want to advise the emperor to stop when it is time to stop." Hands!"

The emperor was moved after hearing these words: "My dear concubine, she gave up small profits for the sake of righteousness! If the people in the harem were like you, how could such a thing happen!" Anyway, the black hand is either the queen or Concubine Xiao, no matter who falls. It is good for Concubine Hui but not bad.

Concubine Hui lowered her head and said: "I really don't dare to be praised by the emperor like this. In fact, the emperor is busy with state affairs every day. I really don't want to see the emperor working hard on the affairs of the harem anymore. The so-called family harmony and everything can be prosperous only when the harem is peaceful." Let’s end this matter of handling important court affairs without any worries!”

"If you love my concubine, I will consider it!"

Concubine Hui took over the whole problem. When she returned to Jingyang Palace, Concubine Hui asked her to make the big deal smaller, which was because she knew that the general was not selfish. But the more the orthodox emperor thought about it, the more unhappy he became. He kicked out the serving maids and eunuchs. , only Chen Jia was left. She closed the door and asked in a face-to-face manner: "Queen or Concubine Xiao?"

The murderer is nothing more than one of these two people.
