After becoming a princess, she fell in love with the emperor of the enemy country

That's why Qi Yan wanted to find a new backer. Originally, she was going to find the queen.

She went to the Queen's palace last night, but didn't even see the Queen. The maid beside her said that the Queen had already rested.

In the end, it was the nanny beside the queen who spoke up and allowed her to stay in the palace for one night.

Qi Yan was not stupid. She could see that the Queen didn't want to pay attention to her.

So Qi Yan slept in the Queen's Palace for one night and came out early in the morning.

There are many concubines in the palace. Apart from the Queen, the one with the highest status is Concubine Yin. However, Concubine Yin is now suffering from the same serious illness as her mother.

What's more, Concubine Yin was a woman who could not even harm her own daughter. Besides, she was an outsider and Concubine Yin would not treat her as a human being. She didn't dare to go find her.

Next in line is Concubine Xian, but she is very old and usually never goes out of the main door or the secondary door. Just like the Empress, she just eats vegetarian food and chants Buddhist scriptures all day long.

No matter how you look at it, you can't provide her with any help. Besides, even if she marries a virtuous concubine, she may not be able to see her.

Her mother was a concubine. If she wanted someone else to adopt her, she could only find a concubine.

So the only young concubines who were still in the position of imperial concubine were Concubine Li and Concubine Rou.

Concubine Li has a strong personality, and Qi Yan doesn't expect her to take her in.

On the contrary, Concubine Rou is a kind person and should be able to help her. Besides, it is heard that Concubine Li is on good terms with Concubine Rou. So if she follows Concubine Rou, Concubine Li should also be able to help her.

That's why the visit this morning took place, but why doesn't Concubine Li play by the rules?

Qi Yan didn't know how to continue the conversation. If he said it wasn't built, what would she do? Should she beg for shelter?

If she said she had built it, then she was falsely conveying the imperial edict. If the emperor knew about this, he would have to depose her.

But she didn't want to go back to Zhuyu Palace.

Concubine Li looked at Qi Yan in a dilemma and said nothing. She just looked at her leisurely.

Concubine Rou swallowed her breath quietly. She had to say that Concubine Li was really mean. If she were Qi Yan, she would be so angry that she went crazy.

From this we can see that Qi Yan is really patient, and her expression doesn't change at all.

But before Qi Yan could react, Zui Xiang came in from outside.

Seeing Qi Yan still standing there as if nothing had happened with a strange look on her face, she walked over to Concubine Rou and told her what had happened, "Your Majesty, there was news from Zhuyu Palace just now that Concubine Ning has passed away."

The sound was not loud, but it was loud enough for people in the hall to hear.

Upon hearing this, Concubine Li could not hide her astonishment and her eyes widened. He was fine when she saw him yesterday, so how come he was gone today?

In contrast, Qi Yan did not feel sad at all when she heard the news. Instead, she felt somewhat relieved.

Could it be because of the kick she gave him earlier? That kick seemed to be quite serious, and she died from that kick? If she died, she wouldn't be a burden anymore.

The smile that flashed across Qi Yan's face was keenly caught by Concubine Li. Tsk tsk, her own mother died, it would have been fine if she didn't cry, but she actually laughed?

Concubine Rou was also extremely shocked when she heard it, "What's going on?"

Zui Xiang shook her head, "I don't know, and..."

Zui Xiang looked at Qi Yan and felt a little reluctant.

Qi Yan finally reacted at this time, and tears began to fall. She cried so fast that even Concubine Li was stunned.

Qi Yan sobbed, "Miss, just say it."

Zui Xiang nodded, "I heard that yesterday evening, a palace maid found Concubine Ning lying on the ground at the door of Zhu Yugong. She had died before the imperial physician arrived. His Majesty had already been notified. When he heard the news, he felt it was unlucky, so he had her rolled up on a straw mat and thrown into a mass grave overnight."

Qi Yan's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. It really was because of her.

Concubine Rou felt sad. This was the fate of a concubine, dying before the emperor's birthday banquet. It was bad luck that she couldn't even be buried in peace.

Concubine Li curled her lips and said, "You old thing, you are such a scoundrel. After being someone's bedmate for a lifetime, this is what happens."

There was silence in the hall for a long time. Qi Yan didn't really cry out loud and didn't shed many tears. After all, she was just pretending.

Finally, it was Concubine Rou who sighed and broke the silence, "We are sisters after all, let's see if we can find a chance to bury her."

In fact, they want to investigate the cause of Ningpin's death. The person who was talking to her yesterday is gone today. Concubine Rou cannot turn a blind eye to it.

Moreover, looking at Qi Yan's expression, could it be that Concubine Ning's death has something to do with her?

This matter was so strange that she couldn't help but be suspicious.

Zui Xiang understood, took the order and went out.

The people in the palace were cold-hearted. It was just a concubine who died, and only a concubine at that. The emperor never favored Concubine Ning, and Concubine Yin treated her as dispensable.

Over the years, Concubine Ning had offended everyone in the palace, so naturally no one was willing to investigate the cause of her death.

Qi Yan finally broke down in tears and cried, "Yan'er heard the bad news suddenly. I'm afraid I've offended the two mothers. Yan'er will leave first."

Concubine Rou nodded, said a few words of comfort, and let her go.

After she left, Concubine Li finally couldn't help herself and said, "You said Concubine Ning was dead. Could it be her who did it? It was in the evening, and that was when they were arguing."

Concubine Rou didn't say anything and didn't comment on Concubine Li's words.

Qi Yan arrived at Zhuyu Palace and confirmed that Concubine Ning was really dead. After closing the door of the room, she finally couldn't help laughing.

Her mother was really dead, and now no one cared about her. Moreover, her mother was really thrown into a mass grave by her father. No one would find out that her mother's death was caused by her. This was really great.

When the news reached Qi Wuyou, she was also shocked. When she saw that the real murderer was suspected to be Qi Yan, Qi Wuyou was even more confused.

Wasn't it said that Concubine Ning treated the heroine very well? How could the heroine kill her mother? Did she really read the novel in which the heroine was true, kind, and beautiful?

She immediately asked Mei Xue to pass on the message and find a way to steal Ning Fei's body so that she could perform an autopsy.

I have to say that Concubine Rou was foresighted and asked Zuixiang to find a solution early on.

At noon that day, Concubine Ning's body appeared in front of Ye Jiu.

Ye Jiu worked busy in the room for a while, and within a quarter of an hour, he found out the cause of Ningpin's death.

It must be that Qi Yan's kick damaged Ning Concubine's spleen, which caused Ning Concubine to lose her life.

Qi Wuyou sighed, and finally waved his hand, having Concubine Ning taken away for burial.

The person who harmed her mother died so hastily?

Qi Wuyou was a little bit at a loss. A life, once gone, it's gone, just like rain falling into a water tank without causing any ripples. This is what the saying "people are cheaper than grass" means.

Qi Wuyou had no intention of letting Qi Yan go. After all, she was the one who killed the original owner. Even for his own sake, Qi Wuyou had to take revenge on Qi Yan.

But the most important thing right now is the emperor's birthday banquet. How can a little Qi Yan compare with Concubine Yin and the Yin family.

Although Qi Yan has lost her mother now, she will not give up the banquet in five days.

Qi Yan could ask someone else to bring her into the banquet. According to the information given by Concubine Rou, Qi Yan would definitely not look for a low-ranking concubine.

Then the candidate is among those people. Concubine Yin is now poisoned, and when Concubine Xian left the palace, she ignored external affairs and devoted herself to Buddhism just like the Queen.
