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

It’s a pity that although they both wanted to die together, things did not go as they wished.

Mu Jin had been staring at the two of them, and as soon as she saw that their expressions were wrong, she immediately took action.

Before Chunhua and Manager Xu could even hit the wall, they were knocked down by a gust of wind and lay on the ground, unable to get up.

"Bold Chunhua, who ordered you to frame the virtuous concubine?"

Chunhua spat out a mouthful of blood, shook his head and laughed.

"Your Highness, you have misunderstood. I did this not to frame Your Highness, and naturally I was not instructed by anyone."

"From the beginning to the end, my target has been Concubine An."

"I want her to be condemned by everyone."

"I want her..."

"die!"

Chunhua's expression, as if he wanted to drink her blood and eat her flesh, scared Concubine An, and her face turned pale instantly.

"Chun, Chunhua, I have no grudges against you in the past or today, why do you want to hurt me like this?"

"It's fine that you harmed me, but you also implicated the Fourth Princess. If anything happened to her today, how would you feel about it?"

"Hahaha!"

Chunhua laughed loudly towards the sky, but her eyes were extremely cold when she looked at Concubine An.

"What Concubine An said is correct. I have no grudge against you in the past or in the present, but you should never harm my master."

Concubine An was completely confused.

"When did I harm Concubine Xian? How come I don't know?"

"My master is not the Consort Xian, but the late Consort Xiaomin."

As soon as the five words "Imperial Noble Consort Xiaomin" came out, Concubine An's eyes instantly became flustered, and there were a few strange colors in her eyes. However, because there were too many things contained in her eyes, no one noticed it.

And all of this was seen by Yun Zhining.

Her heart sank instantly.

"Chunhua, you said that Concubine An had harmed Imperial Noble Concubine Xiaomin. What does this mean? Can you explain it in more detail?"

Chunhua glared at Concubine An and said angrily.

"Hasn't the Imperial Concubine been investigating the cause of Imperial Concubine Xiaomin's death recently? In fact, you don't need to investigate anymore, because I already know that the one who killed Imperial Concubine Xiaomin was the then Concubine An, now Concubine An!"

"Ridiculous, this is absolutely ridiculous!"

Concubine An has been in the palace for so many years and has never bullied others. She is highly praised by everyone in the palace. But today, a palace maid publicly accused her of killing Imperial Noble Concubine Hyomin, and she really couldn't hold back her anger.

"From the time I entered the palace until the death of Imperial Noble Consort Xiaomin, we met less than ten times in total, and we didn't even say a few words to each other, let alone have any conflicts."

"May I ask you, why would I want to harm Royal Consort Hyomin?"

"Do you have evidence to prove that I was the one who harmed Royal Concubine Hyomin?"

Chunhua’s face turned pale.

"I,……"

"I have no evidence."

"Since you have no evidence, you are slandering me. Slandering the imperial concubine of the current dynasty is punishable by death."

"If you are willing to tell me who is behind this, I can ask the Imperial Concubine to spare your life."

"how?"

"Bah, you wish!"

Chunhua spat at her and said angrily.

"That's right. I really don't have any evidence to prove that you were the one who killed Imperial Noble Consort Xiaomin. However, some time ago, on the anniversary of Imperial Noble Consort Xiaomin's death, she came to me in a dream and cried to me, saying that you killed her and asked me to avenge her and make you pay with blood."

"Unfortunately, I have no ability. Not only can I not avenge her, but I also expose myself."

"If you want to kill me, I won't even frown, but don't think you can get away with it."

"Since Imperial Noble Consort Xiaomin can send a message to me in my dreams, she can definitely send a message to others in their dreams. Even if I am gone, there are still others. You can't escape it, you can't escape it."

"Hahaha!"

"crazy!"

"You are a madman!"

Concubine An was too lazy to argue with Chunhua.

"My Lady Imperial Concubine, this Chunhua bribed the people in the imperial kitchen because of a dream that I don't know whether it was true or not, secretly sowed discord between me and Concubine Feng, and even tried to frame my sister, Concubine Xian. Such a person is a disaster if he stays in the palace. My Lady Imperial Concubine, please deal with this person as soon as possible to avoid disturbing the peace of the harem."

"I see."

Yun Zhining raised her hand slightly to stop Concubine An, and her eyes fell on Chunhua, very heavy.

"Chunhua, I will ask you one last time. You accused Concubine An of murdering Imperial Noble Concubine Xiaomin. Do you have solid evidence?"

"No."

"Since there is none, I will sentence you to false accusation. Do you plead guilty?"

Chunhua bit her lip and nodded with difficulty.

"Very good, since you have already confessed your guilt, I will punish you according to palace rules."

"Come here, drag the maid Chunhua out and beat her to death."

"Xiao Xu, the steward of the imperial kitchen, should also be dragged out and beaten to death."

"My Royal Concubine, please spare me! My Royal Concubine, please spare me!"

"Yun Zhining, you are such a ruthless person. Imperial Noble Consort Xiaomin treated you so well and treated Princess Chang'an as her own daughter. After her death, 70% of her property was given to Princess Chang'an. As Princess Chang'an's biological mother, you also enjoyed these good things. But not only do you not know how to be grateful, you also shield the murderer who killed Imperial Noble Consort Xiaomin. Imperial Noble Consort Xiaomin will definitely not let you go."

"She won't let you go."

"You will definitely be punished."

"You will definitely be punished!"

When Chunhua was dragged out, she kept cursing Yun Zhining. Yun Zhining didn't react, but Concubine An was a little anxious.

"My Lady Imperial Concubine, do you want to find someone to stop her from talking? Otherwise, if she keeps yelling, it will affect your reputation."

"Need not."

Yun Zhining waved her hand and said calmly.

"The relationship between me and Royal Consort Hyomin cannot be slandered by anyone. I have a clear conscience. Even if the rumors outside are as strong as a hurricane, they cannot destroy me."

"Besides, the Emperor and General Qi and his son all believe that I would not do such a thing, so why should I care about the accusations of a palace maid?"

"Instead of worrying about me, you should worry about the person who killed Imperial Noble Consort Xiaomin."

"As the saying goes, there is a god above your head. God is watching what you do. Although I don't know who did it, the person who killed Imperial Noble Consort Xiaomin must know."

"Noble Consort Xiaomin was murdered for no reason. Her death was very unjust. Given her personality, she will definitely not let it go. Even if she dies, she will seek revenge on the murderer."

"That day, she learned that Zhang Wanru, who she had trusted for many years and treated her like a sister, had poisoned her. She was weak and bedridden all year round. Regardless of her weak body, she rushed into Fengyi Palace with a sword, cut off Xin'er's arm, and slashed Zhang Wanru's body. Zhang Wanru collapsed and there was no chance of recovery."

"And this time, this person actually killed her and frightened Madam Yin to death. When she wakes up in the middle of the night, Imperial Noble Consort Xiaomin will definitely go find her and personally ask her why she wanted to kill herself."

"After being haunted by the wronged spirit for a long time, the person's body must be very weak. We just need to see which person who is usually very healthy and rarely gets sick suddenly gets sick in the next period of time. That person is most likely the one who killed Imperial Noble Consort Hyomin."

"As long as he has locked onto the target, even if her bones are very hard, Supervisor Feng can still pry open her mouth."

Yun Zhining became more and more excited as she spoke, and Concubine An's hands, which were hidden in her sleeves, were almost swollen from pinching herself so as not to expose herself.

"Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine has a point."

"There is a God above us. The truth will come out and the murderer will be punished."

After dealing with the people who instigated the discord, he scolded the fourth and fifth princesses and asked them to go back and reflect on their mistakes.

After everyone in the front hall had left, Yun Zhining's expression finally relaxed.

"Mujin, keep a close eye on Concubine An and come back to report to me in the evening."

Hibiscus nodded and soon disappeared.

As night fell, darkness gradually enveloped the entire earth, hiding all conspiracies and evil.

Yun Zhining was not feeling well, so the Qingning Palace closed its gates early. The palace maids and eunuchs also completed their tasks and rested and played in their rooms.

Yun Zhining, who was supposed to be resting in the bedroom, appeared in a desolate and dilapidated place behind the main hall. Two people were lying there. Yun Zhining glanced at Lily, who immediately went up and fed each of them a pill. Not long after, they woke up.

"Xiao Xu, we are here..."

"The Hades' Palace?"

"Don't worry, you are still alive."

A light laugh came from above his head. Chunhua looked up quickly and met a pair of smiling eyes.

“Emperor,…”

"The Imperial Concubine!"

"Did you save us?"

"It's not that I saved you, but that you didn't deserve to die."

So when they were dragged out and beaten, the basin of water poured on them could temporarily seal their breath and make them look like they were dead.

She asked the system to exchange two identical corpses, and deliberately had people pass by the gate of Changyuan Palace to let Concubine An know clearly that Chunhua and Xiaoxu were dead. No matter what she had done before, no one would know.

Chunhua finally breathed a sigh of relief when she learned that Yun Zhining did not believe Concubine An's words and executed her, but her inner sadness was beyond words.

"The Imperial Noble Consort Xiaomin treats everyone in Xuanhua Palace very well. When we were scolded by Sister Baixue for not doing our job well or not taking good care of the Imperial Noble Consort Xiaomin, the Empress would intercede for us. During festivals or when other palaces had happy events and received rewards, the Empress would also give us her own money to avoid us being inferior to others. If anyone's family encountered difficulties and needed money, the Empress would send someone to find out and then let General Qi send money to the family."

"My queen is really, really nice."

"But such a good person was hurt again and again by the people he trusted, and even paid the price of his health and life for it."

"Royal Consort Xiaomin is so pitiful. Please help her get revenge. Please help her get revenge!"

Yun Zhining patted her shoulder and comforted her softly.

"Don't worry, I will definitely avenge her."

"But is what you just said true? Was Concubine Xiaomin really murdered by Concubine An?"

Concubine An looked harmless and had really no connection with Imperial Noble Concubine Hyomin. It was really unbelievable that someone suddenly jumped out and accuse her.

Chunhua smiled helplessly.

"I know this may sound unbelievable, but what I just said is true. On the night of the death anniversary of Imperial Noble Consort Xiaomin, I really had a dream."

"In the dream, Imperial Noble Consort Xiaomin had a knife stuck in her body and was standing in front of me, bleeding. Consort An was standing opposite her, holding a knife in her hand."

"Isn't it obvious?"

"It was Concubine An who killed Royal Concubine Hyomin."

"It was Concubine An who killed her."

"Okay, okay, don't get excited. I believe you. I believe you."

Seeing that Chunhua's emotions had calmed down a little, Yun Zhining asked.

"There are so many palace maids in Xuanhua Palace. Why didn't Imperial Noble Consort Xiaomin dream for them instead of you?"

"Even if Royal Concubine Hyomin doesn't trust them, can she not trust Bai Xue?"

"Why did she bypass Bai Xue and send you a dream?"

Chunhua shook her head.

"My slave doesn't know either."

"However, before the incident, Imperial Noble Consort Xiaomin had a quarrel with Sister Bai Xue. When Sister Bai Xue came out, her eyes were as red as a rabbit, and she ran away for a long time. After that, the Queen became distant from Bai Xue."

"A few days later, something happened to the queen."

"So, I suspect that the death of Imperial Noble Consort Xiaomin is related to Bai Xue."

"Even if she wasn't the one who killed Royal Concubine Hyomin, she must have known something."

Yun Zhining silently took note of this sentence.

"Let's put Bai Xue's matter aside for now. I have been investigating something recently that is related to you. I hope you can answer honestly."

"Your Highness, please feel free to ask me anything. I will tell you everything I know."

"very good."

Yun Zhining nodded with satisfaction.

"I heard that you have always been in charge of making the white sugar frosting cake that Royal Concubine Xiaomin likes the most."

"Yes, the white sugar frosting cake has always been made by this servant, and has never been made by anyone else."

"etc,……"

A light flashed through Chunhua's mind and his eyes widened instantly.

"Royal Concubine, you wouldn't suspect that I was the one who poisoned Royal Concubine Hyomin, right?"

"The Imperial Noble Consort Xiaomin once rescued me from Steward Zhang and gave me 1,000 taels of silver to help my mother get treated and my brother buy a house and marry a wife. Even if I die, I will never murder the Imperial Noble Consort Xiaomin. Please understand this, Imperial Noble Consort."

"I never said that you were the one who harmed Imperial Noble Consort Xiaomin."

"I am worried that someone has taken advantage of you and may have confused the icing with something else, and accidentally caused the death of Royal Concubine Hyomin."

"impossible!"

Chunhua shook his head violently.

"Every time I make white sugar frosting cake, I will eat a piece to make sure it is okay before I personally deliver it to Imperial Noble Consort Xiaomin."

"During this period, I have not come into contact with anyone, nor will I allow anyone to come into contact with the white sugar frosting cake."

"If something happened to Imperial Noble Consort Xiaomin, I would have died long ago. How could I have lived so many extra years?"

"Damn it, we were tricked!"

This is the first time that Yun Zhining has been deceived after entering the palace for so many years. She is very angry now.

"Chunhua, Xiaoxu, now that everyone knows that you are dead, you should pretend to be ghosts and knock on the doors and windows of Concubine An's bedroom at midnight every night to scare her."

She just didn't believe that Concubine An would never reveal her true colors.
