39. Chapter 39 Murder for ambition

Ye Wange, who was forced out by Cao Yan, heard the Queen's commanding voice coming from behind, "Send extra manpower to guard Concubine Hui's palace, and ask the Taiyuan Hospital to write a document about Concubine Hui's emergency..."

As they walked further and further away, Ye Wange didn't hear clearly what the queen's order was. When she got down the steps, she looked back and looked at the guards with weapons all over the courtyard, wondering if someone had discovered any clues.

Cao Yan looked at the guards in the courtyard and shook her head, "It's true that everything is under control. Concubine Hui is just having a miscarriage. She has to wonder if someone did it intentionally. The fourth prince has made the palace so troubled that there is no peace for a day."

Seeing Cao Yan's dissatisfied complaint, Ye Wange immediately asked, "What's going on? Didn't Concubine Hui have a natural miscarriage?"

"Who knew? It was fine a few days ago, but suddenly it became like this!

His Highness and Dr. Shen suspected that someone had deliberately harmed Sister Hui, but Sister Hui had not had any bad relations with anyone in the palace, so who would harm her?

To think about it, the fourth prince is the only one who intends to rebel, so why not do it because Ao has an heir?" Cao Yan expressed her guesses one by one.

Nangong Ao suspected that someone had done it deliberately. Ye Wange had to applaud Nangong Ao for being vigilant. He was just suspicious, and suspicion did not necessarily lead to suspicion on her.

After leaving the door of Shen Ruhui's palace, Ye Wange said goodbye to Cao Yan.

Returning to Wanxin Hall, Ye Wange saw Xiao Zi walking back and forth nervously in the courtyard.

Seeing Ye Wange's return, Xiao Zi, who had been looking uneasy, immediately walked up to Ye Wange, bit her lip and asked, "Mother, where have you been?"

He glanced at Xiao Zi with a frown. This slave girl was becoming more and more courageous and dared to ask about her whereabouts. She raised her eyebrows and before she could say anything, Xiao Zi said angrily, "Why, where do you want me to go?"

Report to you?"

Faced with Xiao Zhi's sarcasm, Xiao Zi glared at him and immediately said, "Don't misunderstand me, if you give me ten courages, I won't dare to inquire about your whereabouts.

It's just that I just heard that something big happened in the palace."

"What's the big deal?" Ye Wange looked at her and asked.

"Concubine Hui has had a miscarriage. I heard her life is in danger." Xiao Zi said, observing the expressions of the three masters and servants in front of her calmly.

"Yeah." Ye Wange responded.

She walked around Xiao Zi who was standing there and walked into the house.

Xiao Zi saw Ye Wange entering the house, and she followed behind. After walking a few steps, Xiaodie turned around and said, "Xiao Zi, my queen is hungry. Go to the kitchen and bring some food."

"Okay!" Xiao Zi was so angry when she saw Xiao Die telling her to do something.

Ye Wange entered the room and lay down on the bed. When she learned that Shen Ruhui had come back from the dead, she was so angry that she felt very uncomfortable.

Lying on the bed, Xiaodie poured a bowl of water for her, and she drank it.

"Your Majesty, would you like to send the imperial doctor over to take a look?" Xiao Zhi asked looking at Ye Wange's pale face.

Feeling unhappy, she didn't want to be disturbed, so she moved her body and said, "You all go down! Leave me alone for a while!"

When the two servants Xiaozhi and Xiaodie heard Ye Wange's order, they immediately retreated outside the house.

Standing guard outside the door, Xiaodie asked, "What's wrong with the empress? Something has been wrong since you came back from Concubine Hui?"

Taking a look inside the house, Xiaozhi replied, "I guess he was scared."

Hearing Xiaozhi's answer, Xiaodie was also frightened. Just now at Shen Ruhui's place, she was really frightened by the blood that those women brought out in basins.

Xiaodie glanced into the room and said, "Concubine Hui is really lucky, she can still survive after losing so much blood."

"Good fortune, good fortune." Little Ruler stretched his neck and said to Xiaodie.

Two slaves were standing outside the door, each one stretching his neck to chat, and every word they said fell into Ye Wange's ears.

Lying on the bed, Ye Wange was weeping secretly. She tried her best to cure Shen Ruhui from death, but she didn't want to be saved by some miracle doctor. This was God's plan to help the evildoer!

Xiao Zi brought in a bowl of millet porridge, a cage of steamed stuffed buns with vegetarian fillings, and a few side dishes. She placed the food on the table and said, "Your Majesty, please have a meal!"

Hearing Xiao Zi's voice, Ye Wange raised a sneer at the corner of her mouth. She sat up and said, "Xiao Zi, where did you hear that Concubine Hui was in danger?"

The sudden inquiry caught Xiao Zi off guard. She rolled her dark eyes and said, "I got up, but I couldn't see you, so I went out to look for you. I saw that there were many people surrounding Concubine Hui's palace, so I went to inquire. I learned it from the mouths of those slaves."

Listening to Xiao Zi's explanation, she looked at her with a pair of black eyes and said coldly, "Xiao Zi, you are too devoted to me as your master.

To be able to meet such a loyal servant like you, my Ye family must have been blessed in the past life.

Don't worry, what I said to Concubine Hui a few days ago will count for it. When His Highness the Crown Prince ascends to the throne, I will definitely ask him to give you a good marriage."

When Xiao Zi heard this, she immediately became elated. She thought about what the slaves had been saying these days about how the maid serving the prince flew up onto the branches and became a phoenix. She was thinking about this sweet dream day and night.

She has been thinking about this dream for a long time. Shen Ruhui promised her that when she ascended to the throne, the prince would make her a concubine. Now Shen Ruhui's life and death were uncertain. When she thought she would lose Shen Ruhui, she didn't. Thinking that Ye Wange had extended a helping hand to her again, it seemed that she was not destined to be a slave in this life.

Seeing Xiao Zi's happy face, Ye Wange said, "Go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs later and ask their manager for some fruit."

"Yes." Xiao Zi responded and walked out the door.

Xiao Zi followed Ye Wange's instructions and went out of the palace door to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Ye Wange got up immediately. She walked to the door and called Xiao Zhi in. She whispered a few words in Xiao Zhi's ear, and Xiao Zhi immediately took the order and left.

Xiao Zhizi called Xiao Yuanzi over to guard the door, and he and Xiao Diezi went to the backyard.

Xiao Zhi and Xiao Die entered Xiao Zi's house easily, and Xiao Die said, "You rummage through the cabinets, and I'll rummage through the beds."

Xiao Zhizi nodded, and the two of them divided the work. Xiao Zhizi saw the official silver that Ye Wange saw last time in the cabinet. He was slightly surprised. Then he thought about Ye Wange saying that there was an envoy behind Xiao Zi, and he understood that this must be behind the scenes. The master rewarded her.

Xiaodie rummaged through the bed but couldn't find what she was looking for. After rummaging for a long time, she found nothing. The two slaves were a little anxious and their foreheads were covered with sweat.

Xiaodie glanced around and saw a small ceramic jar on the cabinet. She immediately walked forward and held the small jar. When she saw the mutton-fat jade Shuzi, she said, "Here."

When Xiao Zhi heard that she was there, he immediately took out a handkerchief, took out the Shuzi inside and replaced it.

"Let's go." After finishing the things Ye Wange told him, the two people quietly left.

When Ye Wange saw the two people coming back, she turned around and went into the inner room. The two of them followed. Xiaodie took out the Shuzi and said, "My dear, this is indeed at Xiaozi's place."

He glanced at Shuzi and said, "Crush it and throw it away."

"Master." Xiaodie cried out distressed when she heard that Ye Wange wanted to destroy such a good object.

Ye Wange understood that Xiaodie was reluctant to part with such a good object, but she couldn't lose the big for the small, and she had to do this just in case.

"What does it mean that Shu Zi is at Xiao Zi's place?" Ye Wange asked.

"Xiao Zi stole Shu Zi?" Xiao Zi said, and Xiao Die shook her head.

Ye Wange frowned, "Stupid, Xiao Zi is so brave to steal things from Concubine Hui?" she asked.

"Could it be, could it be..." Xiao Zhi opened his mouth as if he couldn't believe it.

"Could it be that it was Concubine Hui who instigated Xiao Zi to harm the empress?" Xiao Die said.

Ye Wange nodded, saying that she could not conclude that Xiao Zi's behind-the-scenes person was Shen Ruhui before, but now she was sure that Xiao Zi's person behind it was Shen Ruhui.

As soon as she heard that Shen Ruhui was the one who wanted to murder Ye Wange, Xiaodie immediately said, "It's a good thing that our queen regards her as her sister, how could she be so vicious!"

Although Xiaodie is simple, she is definitely a loyal slave who protects her master. She is very angry when she thinks that it was Shen Ruhui who has been behind the scenes for so long, instigating Xiaozi to harm Ye Wange.

She followed Ye Wange into the palace, but she didn't see Ye Wange offending Shen Ruhui in any way after entering the palace. Why did Shen Ruhui want to harm her mother-in-law?

"We didn't offend her, why did she come to harm us?" Xiaodie was angry and confused at the same time.

Ye Wange glanced at the simple-minded Xiaodie and said nothing. Xiaozhi said, "The fight in this palace is naturally for power."

Although Xiao Zhizi was a little surprised, he could also understand this kind of struggle, but he didn't understand why Shen Ruhui pointed the finger at Ye Wange, who was not favored.

"Empress, why does Concubine Hui point the finger at you? You are not favored by His Highness the Crown Prince?" Xiao Zhizi asked the question in his heart.

Since ancient times, fights have always been directed at the favored one. How can anyone fight with a neglected concubine? Now Shen Ruhui, a favored concubine, is pointing the finger at her. It is puzzling, but it can be explained. That is Shen Ruhui. Jealous and ambitious.

Shen Ruhui and Nangong Ao were in love. She originally thought that the position of crown princess was hers. Unexpectedly, Nangong Ao married the queen's niece, Cao Yan, the daughter of General Cao Hu, in order to consolidate his power. She originally thought that she had Shen Ruhui was naturally unwilling to accept the position of crown princess.

The unwilling Shen Ruhui will definitely get rid of Cao Yan. Not only does she want to get rid of Cao Yan, she also wants to get rid of everyone who threatens her ascension to the position of queen. She wants to monopolize the power of the harem, so based on this It's not surprising that Shen Ruhui wants to get rid of her.

"She is clearing obstacles for herself." Ye Wange said calmly.

Xiaodie was confused when she heard this, but Xiaozhi was shocked when she heard this, "Could it be that her ambition is to become the queen?"

Xiaozhi revealed the secret with one word, Ye Wange nodded, a hint of sadness flashed in his black eyes.
