Xianbi waited until Chu Paner fell asleep before leaving.

The sky was filled with heavy clouds, slowly covering up the bright moon, and the moonlight suddenly became dark.

Returning to Tongxin Hall, Jinghua helped the concubine wash herself.

"Jinghua, what do you think?" Xianbi suddenly asked.

Jinghua thought for a while and said: "Master, in my humble opinion, it doesn't look like the ninth princess who was ordered to be assassinated by the empress."

Having been with Xianbi for many years, Jinghua can easily guess her thoughts.

Since the wise concubine asked this, it can be seen that the first person she suspected was the queen.

If Ninth Princess didn't say that someone pushed her, they would all subconsciously think that Ninth Princess accidentally slipped and fell down the steps.

But since the Ninth Princess said it, it must be true.

Xianbi pursed her lips and did not interrupt Jinghua, gesturing for her to continue.

"I think it's more like sowing discord. The Ninth Princess plotted against Miss Lu San today. The Queen is furious. She doesn't hesitate to offend you for this. On the surface, you are the one who is most likely to take action against the Ninth Princess. But from another perspective, the Queen

As the master of the harem, you have many excuses for torturing the Ninth Princess, and you will never do such a thing at this juncture."

"What you said makes sense." Xianbi thought for a moment and agreed with Jinghua's statement.

What Jinghua didn't say was that even if the Empress really hated the Ninth Princess and wanted to do something secretly, she would not choose today.

However, neither of them would have thought that the queen did not take action herself, but told Chu Jinyan about the matter, and that the person who took action was the maid next to Lu Xiang. This took many twists and turns, and even with their brains they couldn't figure it out.

"Then tell me, who is using this matter to stir up hatred between the Queen and me?"

The wise concubine asked again.

Jinghua untied the concubine Xian's bun, applied flower oil on her, rubbed it gently, and then combed it carefully: "Ms. Yifei is not on good terms with the master, but the servants see that she seems to be getting closer to the empress recently.

I wonder if he really wants to win over the power of the Song family for his son.

To move closer to the Empress, or to deliberately let the Empress relax her vigilance and give her a good hit. If there is anyone in the harem who is most at odds with the Empress, it must be Concubine Shu, but Master, you have always had a good relationship with Concubine Shu.

, she would never trick you like this."

The key point is that if Concubine Shu really did it, Concubine Shu did not regard her master as an ally at all, so she could cold-bloodedly push the Ninth Princess off the Yujing Pavilion, breaking two legs and one hand.

"Who knows, if people keep an eye on these two people, there will always be some clues." Concubine Xian also believed that Concubine Yi and Concubine Shu were the most likely.

As for the reason?

Let her fight with the Queen to the death, so that she can take advantage of her?

snort!

Don't let her find out who is using her daughter to stir up a war between her and the queen, otherwise she will definitely skin him.

Even if she and the queen were already at odds with each other, they would not tolerate others fanning the flames.

However, Concubine Yi and Concubine Shu, who were suspected by the Xian concubine, dismissed the matter and did not bother to guess who wanted to harm Chu Pan'er.

Anyway, no matter who it is, they can just watch the fun.

Empress Song conducted a vigorous investigation for several days, but could not find any clues. Even the palace people who were tending the flowers and plants in the imperial garden said they did not see anyone suspicious. If the maid next to the Ninth Princess hadn't shouted for help, they would not have known about it.

Something happened to the princess.

Just for show, Empress Song went to report to Emperor Cheng De: "In my opinion, Pan'er was afraid that she was too frightened and had hallucinations. It was obvious that she accidentally slipped and fell. She was afraid of embarrassment, so she said that someone was behind her.

Push her."

"I have already asked everyone who was in the Royal Garden that day, and they all said they didn't see it."

"Even Pan'er herself only said that someone hit her on the back of the head and she became unconscious after that."

"I wonder if she accidentally hit the pillar."

"I am really incompetent. I hope the emperor will forgive me. Otherwise, the emperor will ask Commander Wu to investigate the matter."

Empress Song was half-kneeling in front of Emperor Cheng De. Fragments of sunlight filtered in from the window, casting a layer of golden light on her fair face, which made her beautiful and determined.

Seeing such a gentle and docile queen, Emperor Cheng De's heart also felt a touch of warmth.

Sure enough, it still looks much more pleasing to the eye.

"No need, Queen, please get naked."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Queen Song said, without standing up, but added: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask for His Majesty's will."

Emperor Chengde said: "What's the matter?"

"Although Ying'er is young, she is upright, kind and virtuous. She was well taught by Song nobles. Song nobles have been in the palace for many years and have served the emperor with all their heart. They have also contributed to the emperor's birth of an heir. I want to serve as Song Dynasty.

Your Majesty, please give me a favor to advance to the throne."

Emperor Chengde looked at Empress Song with a speechless expression.

After all, isn't it because Ying'er proved Lu Xiang's innocence a few days ago and saved her from punishment?

It's so grandiose!

But Queen, are you always so direct now?

If it is beneficial to you, you can support it vigorously.

Don't you even cover it up a little?

For such obvious factionalism, you think I, the emperor, are blind.

"The Song family was promoted to a noblewoman when she gave birth to Ying'er. It's been more than ten years now. It's time for her to be promoted. You are the queen. You have the final say in this matter. Since you want to be promoted, look at what else is there.

You can draw up a list of those who should be promoted to the throne and ask Qin Tianjian to set an auspicious date and seal them together."

Emperor Chengde said with a serious face.

"I would like to thank the Emperor for your kindness on behalf of Your Majesty Song." Empress Song bowed, and then suddenly looked at Emperor Chengde with doubts on her face and asked, "Your Majesty, do you have a candidate in mind for promotion to the throne?"

Emperor Chengde was stunned when he was asked: "Why do you say this?"

That means there is no more.

Queen Song: "I, my concubine, just ask casually."

You have already said that you want to enclose a large harem, so she has to find out if there is any woman she particularly wants to advance to the throne.

After all, she only wants to block people who are beneficial to her.

Well, it's that obvious.

She really wanted to give her a concubine position, but she was short-term in entering the palace and had no children, so she would not be able to subdue anyone by sitting on the concubine position.

That's all, let her wait.

There is no one in the imperial concubine position who can even think about it. It is impossible for her to be a royal concubine or imperial concubine.

She is the successor, and she is not as noble as the Queen of Yuan Dynasty. Even if she is a concubine, she can be equal to her. After all, she has no son, so she can't bear to cause such trouble for herself.

The news about the sealing of the harem did not spread, but the news that Rong Guiren was to be promoted to the throne did not spread, and everyone in the harem was shocked.

In the Yuhe Hall, the good concubine was really happy for Mr. Ronggui.

"Great, when you are promoted to the concubine position, you will be the master of the first palace, and you can better protect your daughter."

Rong Guiren was still a little unable to regain his senses, and his whole body was in a daze.
