The queen has four sons and six daughters, and she can call the wind and rain

"you,……"

If there hadn't been someone else around, the queen really wanted to strangle her to death.

"So, the trap that I worked so hard to set up was accidentally broken by Yun Zhining before it even took effect?"

"Your Majesty, please calm down."

"Okay, let's talk about it later."

The queen waved her hand, and the front hall became completely quiet.

She cleared her throat and spoke.

"A body was found in a lake near Qingning Palace. The emperor ordered me to gather you all to see if anyone is missing."

"Xin'er has already counted the number of people. You'd better stay in the palace and don't run around. Otherwise, if something happens and you lose your life, don't blame me for not reminding you."

As soon as these words were spoken, Mrs. Lin's heart instantly tightened.

"Ming Guipin didn't come. Could it be that she..."

"Mrs. Lin is worrying too much. The body was discovered by Ming Guipin. She is accompanying the emperor to deal with this matter. Zhou Liangyuan is also here."

"That's good."

Mrs. Lin breathed a sigh of relief silently.

But Concubine Qi's expression was not very good.

"I just observed that there are five people who didn't come. Since Ming Guipin and Zhou Liangyuan are fine, then aren't Huifei, Qi Xiurong and Liu Fangyi in danger?"

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

A young concubine below subconsciously looked at Concubine Jiang.

"When the Emperor and Concubine Hui went out to swim in the lake, Concubine Hui accidentally fell into the lake. Concubine Jiang happened to appear and saved Concubine Hui. That's how she caught the Emperor's eye and was officially canonized."

"And when Consort Jiang came to Fengyi Palace to pay her respects to the Empress some time ago, she was ridiculed by Qi Xiurong and Liu Fangyi. It is hard to guarantee that she will not bear a grudge against them, except for Qi Xiurong and Liu Fangyi."

"Perhaps this was seen by Concubine Hui, and she killed her as well."

"Miss Jiang, you have such a vicious heart!"

"Lady Feng, I advise you to find a way to move out of Hibiscus Pavilion, otherwise you might be killed by her one day."

Concubine Feng's heart trembled, and she looked at Concubine Jiang with a little more vigilance.

Concubine Jiang was so angry that tears kept welling up in her eyes, but she refused to speak.

The queen cursed her silently and had to speak.

"Alright, don't slander people without evidence. If I hear you, don't blame me for being cruel and heartless."

"I sincerely follow the Queen's teachings."

"Okay, it's getting late, let's all go."

"I will take my leave now."

Although some minor incidents occurred in Fengyi Palace, the identity of the deceased was finally found out.

Judging from the degree of decay of their limbs, Qi Xiurong and Liu Fangyi should have died on the same day but at different times, while Concubine Hui should have died yesterday.

Moreover, they were killed by the same person.

Just as the little concubine said before, they all had contact with Concubine Jiang or had conflicts with her before their deaths, so Qi Yejing also suspected that Concubine Jiang killed the three of them.

Moreover, Concubine Jiang was stronger than any other concubine in the palace, had great strength, and was capable of committing crimes.

So, even though she kept crying out for injustice, Qi Yejing still locked her up and moved Concubine Feng to Qingning Palace.

Upon hearing the news, Zhou Baozhu ran to Qi Yejing to ask for an explanation, but was scolded by Qi Yejing. As a result, Qingning Palace was also closed and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

Everyone in the harem was laughing at their jokes.

But in Qingning Palace, Yun Zhining was playing mahjong with Xiao Pu Tao, Zhou Baozhu, and the new member Feng Meiren.

"Yitong, Baozhu, your acting skills are getting better and better. If I hadn't arranged everything, I would have thought you were very angry and didn't want Concubine Feng to live in Qingning Palace."

"Thirty thousand."

"Haha, Sister Ming, you underestimate me. Although I am of low rank, I am not stupid."

"Qingning Palace is a popular place, and most of the lower-ranking concubines are eyeing it. Instead of letting in a person whose background we don't know, it's better to let in someone who is an enemy on the surface but is actually one of us. This way, we can know who is really good and who is a bodhisattva with a vicious heart."

Lady Feng casually threw out a six.

"I don't know who the bad guy is, but the Queen is definitely not a good person."

"Don't be fooled by her mask."

"Otherwise, you will die miserably."

"Take it by yourself, Thirteen Yao."

Yun Zhining pushed the cards down and stretched out her hand.

"Come on, come on, give me money, give me money."

Lady Feng stared at her cards for a while and suddenly laughed.

"My fault."

"Forget that you entered the palace three years earlier than me."

"You must have known what I can see clearly. It's just a show to confuse everyone."

"Alright, alright, we've been playing for two hours, it's time to give our brains a rest. What do you want to eat this afternoon? I'll ask Qingzhu to bring people to prepare it."

Zhou Baozhu and Concubine Feng raised their hands.

"We want to eat pot."

"Little Grape, what about you?"

"I listen to Madam Zhou and Madam Feng."

"Okay, then we'll have pot this afternoon."

Yun Zhining rubbed her little head.

"You play with Madam Zhou and Madam Feng first. Mother will ask someone to prepare things. She will call you when they are ready."

"Uh-huh."

To eat hotpot, of course you need to prepare a lot of meat and vegetables.

Such as lamb, beef, chicken, fish, shrimp and crab.

Such as potato chips, corn nuggets, gluten, fish balls, beef balls, shrimp balls, vermicelli, handmade noodles, bok choy, and cabbage.

Get ready.

Half an hour later, a fragrance wafted over Qingning Palace.

The people around were almost choked to death.

But Qingning Palace was closed, so they couldn't get in and couldn't get free meals.

Everyone was praying silently. Suddenly Zhou Baozhu showed her power, started arguing with Concubine Feng, and then raised her hand to overturn the pot.

That way, no one will be able to eat it.

They also felt balanced in their hearts.

After a month, not only was it not clear who killed Concubine Hui and others, but there were also several more corpses in the harem. The concubines in Chuxiu Palace and Zhongcui Palace were terrified, fearing that they would become broken limbs and corpses when they woke up, and many of them clamored to go home.

Qi Yejing asked the queen to compile a list of those who were to leave the palace and release them all, and bring the rest into the harem and give them the title of concubines.

Those who stayed were very happy because they finally had an official status.

But the queen was not happy.

Qi Yejing became so anxious that he fell ill.
