"Back to the emperor, Master Hao Bin was poisoned after eating rice containing Qibu Duanhun Powder. During this period, he had a dispute with others, and finally left a blood letter as evidence before his death." Ma Jihuai recorded everything in his notebook.

, then stepped forward and reported back to the emperor.

"Master Yima, who did it?" the emperor asked carefully, eyes half-squinted.

"Back to the emperor, it is difficult to make a conclusion in such a hurry, not to mention that there are still fishy things involved, and I still have many unanswered questions."

"Master Ma, please tell me." Han Qilu nodded.

"Your Majesty, does your Majesty know who sent this meal?" Ma Jihuai pointed to the rice that was found in Qibu Duanhunsan.

Han Qilu looked at Xia Yingrou. Xia Yingrou took two steps forward and said with tears in her eyes: "Master Ma, this food was brought into the cold palace by my concubine and my slave Xiao Jinzi. I also told my sister Hao Bin before.

After many words, Xiao Jinzi told me that there was a noise outside the Leng Palace, so I went to take a look. Unexpectedly, when I came back with the emperor and others, sister Hao Bin went! Woohoo! That little Jinzi has disappeared now! But this

This is not what I did. I have always had a good relationship with sister Hao Bin. I came to Leng Palace because sister Hao Bin was wronged and I wanted to help sister Hao Pin clear her grievances."

Ma Jihuai nodded and continued to ask: "Rong Xiuyi, how is my slave Xiao Jinzi doing on weekdays?"

"I usually see that Xiao Jinzi is an honest and kind person. He only cares about his own things and doesn't have deep friendship with others. Today I was going to bring my personal maid here, but when I left, I couldn't find those two people, so I had no choice but to call Xiao Jinzi.

Here comes the gold." Xia Yingrou said softly, her voice hoarse from crying.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say." Concubine De suddenly took two steps forward and knelt down towards the Emperor.

"explain."

"I was in the palace today. Rong Xiuyi's personal maid Xiaoyue suddenly came to tell me that she and Xiaoyu were knocked unconscious in a side room. When they woke up, they found that the mistress was missing, so they ran to Ruide Palace.

I found my concubine. I am very worried, so I came to the cold palace, fearing that something might happen!" Concubine De said sincerely to the emperor with a dignified posture.

"This happened! That slave killed Hao Bin? He hurriedly escaped from here and happened to meet Su Guiren, so he knocked Su Guiren unconscious!" Han Qilu frowned angrily.

"Your Majesty, can I let me take a look at the necks of the two maids and the young master?" Ma Jihuai was silent for a moment and asked Han Qilu.

Ma Jihuai's words were somewhat inappropriate, but thinking that Ma Jihuai was already old, Han Qilu nodded and motioned for Su Zimo to step forward.

Su Zimo took two steps forward and lifted up her black hair at the back. Ma Jihuai stroked his beard and looked at it, then looked at Xiaoyu's neck, and replied to Han Qilu: "Your Majesty, although the angles of the blows to these two were different,

But it must have been done by one person, so it seems that it was the evil slave Xiao Jinzi who poisoned Concubine Hao and knocked out Su Guiren."

"The evil slave is so bold! Zhou Yunfu sent people to blockade the palace and pursue the little gold with all his strength!" Han Qilu said angrily after taking the case.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing. There are traces of stones sliding on the bottom of Hao Bin's embroidered shoes. I don't know why? There are also the two words left by Hao Bin before she died. If Xiao Jinzi harmed her, why did she leave them

"Wei" character?"

As soon as Ma Jihuai asked this question, Wei Bingtong's face turned white.

The emperor's heart sank. If there were really scratches from the stone, it would mean that Hao Bin's statement that Wang Mengqi was pushed to the ground after slipping under her feet and falling down was true. She had injustice in her heart, so she had to write the word "injustice" before she died.

Just where did the gravel come from by the Jade Dragon Lake? Is this really a man-made frame-up? Thinking of Wei Bingtong's repeated obstruction outside the cold palace and the bloody word "Wei" on the ground, Han Qilu's eyes turned cold.

When Su Zimo saw the emperor's face, she knew that the emperor must have guessed that this matter was caused by Concubine Wei. On the pretext of getting rid of Wang Mengqi's unborn son, she also killed Hao Yueling and framed it for Xia Yingrou. But how would the emperor deal with it?

?

Turning his eyes to Concubine De, Su Zimo saw that although Concubine De comforted Xia Yingrou with a look of sorrow on her face, her eyes kept wandering on the emperor's face, and she must have been guessing the emperor's thoughts.

"Lian Xiuyuan, why did you happen to appear in front of the Leng Palace at this time to stop Concubine De?" Xia Yingrou looked at Wei Bingtong and asked coldly.

She knew that what happened today was that her slave was bribed to do this harmful thing. Even if she caught the little gold and turned out Concubine Wei, she was pregnant and the emperor would not be able to touch her. Why not let Concubine Wei do it?

His sister Wei Bingtong is here to take the blame!

"Your Majesty, I was just out for a walk because I was bored. I happened to meet Sister De Concubine who was about to enter the Cold Palace. I was afraid that Sister De Concubine would do something stupid and break into the Cold Palace privately, so I stopped her!" Wei Bingtong hurriedly knelt down towards the emperor, looking pale.

With her sullen little face, Han Qilu could tell at a glance that she was guilty.

Thinking about how he had to explain everything today to all the concubines, Han Qilu said in a deep voice: "Hao Yueling accidentally killed the emperor's heir. Thinking of his unintentional mistake, he was harmed by an evil slave even though he was not guilty of death. Restore his concubines."

Concubine Hao was buried as a concubine. Rong Xiuyi’s evil slave killed Concubine Hao. After the evil slave caught her, she was executed in Ling Chi. Rong Xiuyi was not good at managing people, so she fined her half a year’s salary as a warning. Lian Xiuyuan suddenly appeared near Leng Gong.

Contrary to what Hao Bin wrote before she died, and to prevent Concubine De and others from rescuing people, I am now picking up her writing and will be fined half a year's salary and banned for one month."

As soon as the emperor said this, Ma Jihuai said: "Since the emperor has finalized the case, the old minister is still involved in the case, so I will retire first."

Su Zimo was shocked when he heard this. Mr. Ma did not hide his dissatisfaction with the emperor's judgment. The case must be very suspicious in his opinion, but he couldn't say anything more. After all, it was a royal matter. He couldn't blame Mr. Ma after he was pregnant.

Although he has a great reputation, he rarely involves himself in the affairs of the harem.

"I accept my punishment." The voices of Wei Bingtong and Xia Yingrou sounded at the same time, both of them showing dissatisfaction.

Xia Yingrou glared at Wei Bingtong bitterly, wishing she could go up and tear her apart right now. Why should she be dissatisfied? They killed Hao Yueling, so what else could she dare to disapprove of?

Wei Bingtong's pale face turned rosy. After all, her sister-in-law Wei Guifei would definitely overturn the case for her as long as she did not seize definite evidence.

"Go back and rest, and don't go out as much as possible after the garrison period! Zhou Yunfu, go back to Longquan Palace!" Han Qilu glanced at Su Zimo before leaving, thinking whether Su Zimo was also involved.

Su Zimo knew in her heart that the emperor might have remembered the people who appeared here today, and he was afraid that the emperor would not look at their names in the next few days. In this way, she could be more relaxed and get those people earlier.

I have read several historical books.

Wei Bingtong took his servants with him, glanced at them coldly, and left.

Concubine De stepped forward and took the hands of Su Zimo and Yang Jinshu, her eyes full of gratitude: "Thank you two sisters for helping me today."

Hearing this, Xia Yingrou looked at Su Zimo and Yang Jinshu in confusion, and then at Concubine De, waiting for Concubine De to explain.

Before Concubine De opened her mouth, Su Zimo said: "The sisters didn't do anything, they just told the emperor what happened. Sister De Concubine doesn't need to thank you. It's getting late, so the sisters will go back first."
