In Kunning Palace.

It was already time to light the lamps, but at this moment the Kunning Palace was not as deserted as usual, but even more lively.

Just as the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion was sent here for treatment of her injuries, a large group of people, including the emperor and the empress dowager, arrived.

But everyone's face was solemn, and the atmosphere became even more silent.

Empress Zhou was sitting at the bottom, totally confused as to what was going on. She could only sit with them.

Feng Yi came forward to report, "The young lady's injuries have been examined by the judge of the Imperial Hospital. The judge said that the treatment was very good. Now we just need to wait for the young lady to wake up and see if there are any other hidden injuries."

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

If something happens to Shan Xi now, it will be really difficult to deal with it later. If something goes wrong, the whole game will be lost.

Emperor Chengtian glanced at the Queen Mother who obviously didn't want to talk, and turned to ask Song Qingci, "Madam Shan, can you give me an explanation for what happened today?"

Song Qingci stood up and bowed perfunctorily to Emperor Chengtian, then said, "Your Majesty, before today, I cannot give you an explanation. Because I don't know how to explain it."

"Emperor, it's too late now. Why don't you let Yunzhi and the others go back first, and let Xi'er stay in the palace to recover. We can talk about anything after Xi'er is better."

The Queen Mother interrupted their conversation.

She is the last person who wants to figure things out right now.

After some association and reasoning, she had a rough idea. If she were to bring it out and talk about it now, she would be asking for trouble.

Song Qingci glanced at the empress dowager. If she had some independent female filter in her mind for the empress dowager before, now, all the filters were shattered.

They will do anything to achieve their goals, and both men and women are equally despicable.

Moreover, when it comes to destroying someone's innocence, women's subjective malice is even more unforgivable.

She is a woman, and she knows that in such a social environment, once something like this happens, it will be a devastating blow to a woman. But for the sake of her inner purpose, she still chooses to do it.

Such behavior made Song Qingci physically feel disgusted and was unforgivable.

"Your Majesty, I haven't finished what I was saying just now." Song Qingci took out the blood letter that he had taken from Shan Xi's arms from his clothes.

Shan Xi is very smart. Even though she has made up her mind to die, she will not let go of those who harmed her.

Moreover, she hid this thing very well, and no one could get it unless they were very close to her.

"Although I cannot give your Majesty an explanation, Shan Xi can. This is her explanation." After saying that, she shook out the blood letter in front of everyone and handed it to Eunuch Guo.

Emperor Chengtian had not expected that there would be such a thing as a blood letter. He took the blood letter from Eunuch Guo and looked at it carefully.

The more you look at it, the darker its face becomes, and the lower the air pressure becomes.

Among the people present, only Song Qingci and Emperor Chengtian had read the blood letter. The others could only guess the content of the blood letter based on Emperor Chengtian's expression.

The Queen Mother stared at the blood letter, and her anxiety reached its peak.

She hasn't had this feeling for many, many years. She always feels that some things seem to be out of her control.

"Empress, you should take a look too." Emperor Chengtian looked very unhappy, but he was still somewhat happy in his heart. He did not want to help cover up anything at all. Instead, he hoped that as many people as possible would know about this.

For a long time, I have not been able to catch any evidence against certain people. Now, the ready-made evidence has been delivered to my hands.

With this blood letter, he can do a lot of things.

I began to have a better impression of the Shan family.

Queen Zhou took the blood letter and began to read it. Her expression became the same as Emperor Chengtian's. The more she read, the uglier she looked.

"Empress, do you have anything to say?" Emperor Chengtian threw the question to Empress Zhou, "How could such a thing happen in the harem under your jurisdiction! Shouldn't you give me an explanation and also give an explanation to the General's Mansion? ! "

Emperor Chengtian seemed to be making things difficult for the Empress, but those who understood would understand that this was a disguised slap in the face of the Empress Dowager.

Everyone knows about the harem of the former dynasty. Ever since the Empress Dowager returned to power, she no longer had to deal with the affairs of the former dynasty, so she naturally reached out to the harem.

Queen Zhou originally managed the harem in an orderly manner, but in recent years, she has become less and less able to get involved.

Especially in the past year, she has basically become a decoration.

Fortunately, Queen Zhou had a calm temperament. She would do things when there were things to do, and would not argue when there were no things to do.

In this way, Emperor Chengtian's harem can remain peaceful and comfortable as always.

If it were a queen with a strong hand, the harem would have been in chaos long ago.

When Queen Zhou was questioned, she naturally knelt down to apologize and promised to handle the matter well.

First of all, the young eunuch who was arranged to serve Qiu Jincheng after he entered the palace was the first to be convicted, and then the palace maid who lied that the Queen Mother had invited her and led the way had to be found out.

Furthermore, everyone on duty near that side hall today, whether they are palace maids, eunuchs or guards, must go to the Ministry of Punishment.

In this imperial palace, even the cold palace is guarded and served by people, let alone a side hall.

With such a big commotion, it is impossible that there wasn't a single palace maid, eunuch or guard on duty nearby.

Orders were issued from Kunning Palace.

The entire harem was in turmoil.

Some concubines who didn't know the truth joked with each other, wondering why the queen was so angry. Why did the peaceful harem become so unpopular with her?

The person who received the order had gone out to do his job, and the main hall became quiet again.

At this moment, Shan Li stood up and walked to the front of Emperor Chengtian, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, those palace maids and eunuchs are just accomplices. What about the mastermind behind Xi'er's misfortune? !"

Upon hearing this, Queen Zhou lowered her head slightly and avoided Shan Li's sight.

After seeing the blood letter, she understood that the Empress Dowager must be involved in this incident.

But when facing the Queen Mother, not to mention her, even the Emperor might not get any benefit.

She was still a young and lively girl. When faced with such a disaster, she wanted to help. However, she had done everything she could and there was nothing else she could do.

The Queen Mother originally thought that after the Queen dealt with those subordinates, the matter would be over. However, she did not expect that her nephew would actually severely punish the mastermind.

Then Qiu Jincheng has already learned his lesson!

It is still unknown whether he is alive or dead!
