Volume Four: Blue Butterfly Chapter 225: The Emperor’s Ladies
It's not that Hang Tianyi wants to think about this. If it's the Crown Princess, why did he wait so many years to reveal this matter?
Therefore, it is very likely that the person behind the scenes wants to pull the Queen out of the palace.
If the people behind this are positioned as the emperor's women, then she must have colluded with someone in the cold palace to set up such a big picture.
After analyzing this, Hang Tianyi began to think about the emperor's women...
Ahem, my thinking has gone astray, and I started to think about who are the people who can lay out the plan, and what is their purpose?
At present, the battle for the right to inherit the throne between the eldest prince and the second prince has become increasingly fierce, and many ministers in the court are taking sides.
If the Queen falls, it is obvious that the biggest beneficiary will be the second prince Chen Yujing.
As a result, Concubine Xiao became Hang Tianyi's first target of suspicion.
The look on Concubine Yun's face showed that she knew something, so this was also a breakthrough.
Moreover, Hang Tianyi has not asked Princess An Ning about the murder of Blue Butterfly. This is an excuse. At the same time, it is also possible to get clues.
Concubine Yun's residence is less than two miles away from the Queen's main palace.
Hang Tianyi walked along the corridor for a while, turned left and entered another building complex, and came to the palace of Concubine Yun.
"Excuse me, I'd like to inform you that Hang Tianyi would like to see Princess An Ning and Concubine Yun!" Hang Tianyi raised his hands and saluted.
Guarding outside the public gate were two ordinary palace maids.
The two of them were stunned when they heard Leng Xiao's words.
But in the past few days, the legend about Hang Tianyi has spread in the palace.
Everyone in the palace knew that Hang Tianyi was working for the emperor, so the two maids did not dare to neglect. After going in to report, they took Hang Tianyi in not long after.
Above the hall, Hang Tianyi saluted: "I have met the empress, and I have met the princess!"
"You don't have to be polite, I wonder what's important about Hang Baotou?" Concubine Yun looked calm, behaved dignified, and was as gentle as water.
This is an extremely beautiful woman, but what attracts her is not her appearance, but her indescribable temperament.
Princess An Ning also looked at Leng Xiao curiously. In front of her mother and concubine, she seemed more reserved and did not know how to speak to Hang Tianyi.
Hang Tianyi sorted out his thoughts and said, "That's right. I came here today to ask the empress for some advice. In addition, I also want to ask about the process of killing Blue Butterfly!"
When it comes to blue butterflies, Princess An Ning's eyes clearly show fear.
Obviously, what happened before had greatly stimulated her.
"I...I don't know what happened. Those blue butterflies suddenly went crazy and started killing people..." Princess An Ning's voice was trembling when she spoke.
Hang Tianyi sighed secretly: "Thank you princess for telling me!"
Originally, he wanted to find some clues, but seeing Princess An Ning in such a state, Hang Tianyi felt a little distressed for some reason and couldn't bear to continue asking.
Concubine Yun glanced at Hang Tianyi, with gratitude in her beautiful eyes.
Hang Tianyi is working for the emperor, and they, the concubines, must naturally cooperate.
But at this time, it was obvious that Princess An Ning was emotionally unstable.
After a pause, Hang Tianyi said again: "Twenty years ago, the princess gave birth to butterflies. I must have known something about it, right?"
Concubine Yun's pupils shrank slightly, her body trembled obviously, and her breathing became rapid involuntarily.
"An Ning, you go out first!" Concubine Yun said.
From Princess An Ning's expression, Hang Tianyi could see that Concubine Yun really protected her daughter very well.
Naturally, he didn't want her to be involved in these messy things.
Princess An Ning was definitely not an obedient child, but at this time, Concubine Yun's tone was unacceptable.
After walking out, Princess An Ning poked her head back to take a look, her big and smart eyes full of curiosity.
"Why does Hang Baotou ask these questions? How do you know that I know? I entered the palace with full plans, which is nineteen years!" Concubine Yun said.
Hang Tianyi said: "Everything is to investigate the case!"
These words did not fully answer Yun Fei's question, but it was enough to say this.
"I just heard that when the Crown Princess gave birth, it was definitely a big event, and she and the Queen were good sisters, so the Queen was always taking care of her. The legend of turning into butterflies was also told by the Queen, but I heard that there was
The palace maid saw it!"
"This matter is very strange. At that time, the palace issued an order not to spread rumors randomly, but Hang Baotou knew that wherever there are people, how can there be a lack of gossip?"
"As a result, there were various theories in the palace, all of which were unfavorable to the Queen. I heard that the Crown Princess was probably poisoned by the Queen, but these are just legends!"
When Hang Tianyi heard this, he looked a little disappointed. It seemed that Concubine Yun didn't know much.
"Is there anything else you would like to add, Madam?" Hang Tianyi asked, still somewhat hopeful in his heart.
"I know a little bit about medical skills. From the rumors back then, I know that some of the food the Crown Princess ate before giving birth was very harmful to the child, but it was given to her by the Queen!"
When Hang Tianyi heard this, his expression was a little solemn. It seemed that the matter of turning into a butterfly had nothing to do with the queen, and she did have the intention of harming the princess.
"I have never said these words to anyone. If Hang Baotou hadn't been working for His Majesty, I wouldn't have said it. After all, they are just rumors, which is very detrimental to the Queen!" Concubine Yun added.
A person's quality can be seen from certain actions.
Hang Tianyi feels that people like Concubine Yun are very real, and she never talks about those messy things.
Even now, after finishing speaking, I still give a warning.
But no matter how you look at it, these words are not good for the Queen. As expected, the emperor and his wife are smiling on their faces and feeling jealous in their hearts.
"Don't worry, Madam, if I say what I say today, my slave will definitely die in his stomach!" Hang Tianyi assured.
After coming out of Concubine Yun's palace, Hang Tianyi thought for a while and decided to meet the biggest suspect, Concubine Xiao.
Concubine Xiao is also an extremely beautiful woman, but judging from her appearance, she is not a kind person.
When she looked at Leng Xiao, there was disdain in her eyes. Hang Tianyi could clearly feel that kind of indifference, that kind of coldness and rejection from thousands of miles away.
"If you have anything to ask, feel free to ask. After all, we are working for His Majesty!" Concubine Xiao said, her voice without any emotion.
Her words have already made it clear that if Hang Tianyi was not working for the emperor, he would not be like this today.
In addition, this is also a warning. Even if Hang Tianyi is working for the emperor, it cannot change the fact that he is just a little head catcher.
