Quick Wear: The Female Supporting Character's Counterattack

When Concubine An learned the evidence that led to her son's death.

The body of the crazy horse had been completely burned.

She couldn't sit still on the spot.

"How is that possible? That's the evidence. My son died by falling from the back of Crazy Horse."

"Who is so brave as to burn that crazy horse like that?"

"Someone must have done this on purpose, just to eliminate the evidence."

Thinking of her son who had not yet been buried, Concubine An was filled with endless hatred.

The maid at the side said to Concubine An, "It was the imperial concubine who advocated burning Crazy Horse's body. She said that Crazy Horse went mad for no apparent reason and caused the Second Prince to be hacked to death."

"If this horse is sick, I'm afraid it will infect your Majesty's horse."

The intention is so obvious.

Concubine An knew that it was Concubine Li who did it.

But he currently has no evidence, even if he knows that Concubine Li harmed the second prince.

She still couldn't convict the other party.

"No, I cannot let Huai'er die in vain. Concubine Li has committed many evil deeds and killed my child. I will never let her get away with it."

In order to find evidence to convict Concubine Li, Concubine An hurried to the Yangxin Palace and once again asked Zhou Lu to thoroughly investigate the matter.

But now the clues are gone.

Even if Zhou Lu wanted to investigate, he had already alerted the enemy and would definitely not be able to find out anything.

"Xianfei, I am also deeply saddened by the death of the Second Prince, but finding out the truth is not as easy as you think."

Concubine An knelt on the ground and cried, "It must be the Concubine. It must be the Concubine who killed my son. It was the Concubine who advocated burning the crazy horse. Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for Huai'er."

"It's slander without evidence. Concubine Xian, do you have any evidence to prove that it was Concubine Gui who did it?"

Just one sentence left Concubine An speechless.

Yes, I have no evidence.

Just going by instinct.

Concubine An knelt on the ground dejectedly.

Zhou Lu looked at her and continued, "The confessions of the palace servants in the horse farm are very clear. They all said that the second prince fell off his horse and died because of his poor riding and archery skills."

"Your Majesty, didn't you find the silver needle?"

"I did find the silver needle, but who can guarantee that it was used to stab the horse? Now that Crazy Horse is gone, this clue is naturally broken."

But Concubine An had a premonition in her heart.

That silver needle is used to stab the horse.

But now Crazy Horse’s body is gone, and I can’t find any clues, so no one can prove what the silver needle was used for.

But Concubine An was really unwilling to accept this.

He knew who the murderer was, but he had no way to punish him and avenge his son.

"No, I don't believe it. Even though Huai'er likes to read and practice calligraphy, she is a little weak and not good at riding and shooting."

"But that doesn't mean he can be thrown off the horse and die just by riding it for a while."

"Your Majesty, I think that Concubine Li should be investigated. Huai'er's death from falling off a horse must have something to do with Concubine Li and the eldest prince."

"Your Majesty, I beg you."

There are many different opinions in the palace about the investigation into the second prince's fall from a horse.

The maternal clan of Concubine Li submitted memorials one after another.

It was said frankly that the second prince died in an accident and the blame should not be forced on the imperial concubine.

This made Zhou Lu extremely anxious.

While having to deal with the previous dynasty, he also had to find a way to appease Concubine An.

He pinched his nose and spoke with a tired tone.

"Concubine An, please accept my condolences. I will continue to investigate, but there is no trace of the Imperial Concubine in the investigation. I cannot investigate the Imperial Concubine strictly."

This time Zhou Lu did not give in.

He knew that he couldn't touch Concubine Li at the moment.

Faced with Zhou Lu's emphasis on the overall interests of the country, Concubine An was disheartened.

Looking at her nominal husband, Concubine An felt infinite sadness in her heart.

Finally, she couldn't help but ask Zhou Lu, "Your Majesty, I have always wanted to ask you, what does everything in the palace mean to you in these years?"

I became Zhou Lu's concubine at the age of sixteen and have given birth to children for him until now.

Zhou Lu looked at the gentle and beautiful Concubine An.

In the past, he quite liked Concubine An because she was considerate and calm.

Not at all like the flamboyant and willful Concubine Li.

"I am not only your husband, nor just a father. I am also the king of all the people in the world. The former court and the harem also need me to check and balance them."

"Xianfei, the Second Prince died in an accidental fall from his horse. I am also very sad. I have investigated the matter thoroughly according to your wishes, but I have found nothing. You should understand what I mean."

"Understand what your majesty means?"

Concubine An had some difficulty controlling her emotions.

She lowered her head with a bit of madness.

"Hahaha, I am really a joke. Why did I enter the palace in the first place? Why did I give birth to poor Huai'er and let him come into the world for nothing? I am really guilty."

Finally, Concubine An stood up and smiled sadly, "Forget it, I will take my leave now."

Looking at Concubine An's lonely back, Zhou Lu withdrew his gaze and clenched his fists.

After dealing with government affairs, Zhou Lu came to the second prince's coffin.

The face of the Second Prince appeared before my eyes.

The other person is his own son, and he also watched him grow up. How could he not be sad?

Zhou Lu was feeling sad.

Eunuch Deng ran in in panic.

"Your Majesty, it's bad, the virtuous concubine has passed away."

"what happened?"

This time Zhou Lu was really shocked.

Concubine An was fine during the day, how come she died in just a few hours?

Eunuch Deng knelt on the ground and sobbed.

"The queen went back and dismissed the palace maids and eunuchs, but she fell asleep and never woke up again. Your Majesty, you should go and see the virtuous queen."

Zhou Lu vomited a mouthful of blood just after taking two steps.

"His Majesty!"

Such a big thing happened in the palace. The second prince and Concubine An died one after another, and Zhou Lu even vomited blood and fainted.

Princess Jianning hurried into the palace at night.

The Queen Mother was also very frightened. Fortunately, Zhou Lu was not in any serious trouble. He just vomited blood because he was too sad.

The queen stood outside the Yangxin Palace holding Buddhist beads.

"Greetings, Queen, how is His Majesty?"

The queen sat upright in her chair, not at all affected by Zhou Lu's vomiting of blood.

Princess Jianning has always known that the relationship between the Queen and Zhou Lu is average.

The two of them are more like living together, and there is no emotion like a normal couple at all.

"His Majesty has gone to bed. There is no big problem. I asked you to come to the palace because His Majesty wants to see you."

"The Queen Mother is not feeling well. She has been here for several hours and left half an incense stick ago. Let Eunuch Deng take you in."

Logically speaking, Zhou Lu shouldn't have allowed Princess Jianning to enter the palace.

But Zhou Lu woke up and immediately asked the Queen to call Princess Jianning into the palace.

Now that her mission was accomplished, the queen turned around and left without any hesitation.
