Empress and Empress

Xia Zimo didn't show any panic, nor did he show much fear, just a little worried.After all, it was Concubine De who had the accident, and she was only slightly affected at most.So at this time, her attitude was just right, neither excessive nor rude.

"My lady, what shall we do now?"

The queen knew that she could only discuss with Xia Zimo at this time, so she expressed her worries.

"Your Majesty, we are not at all sure of the position of Concubine Virtue right now. Whether it is the order or favor, it is far behind. According to my estimation, Yuan Cairen has a great chance. Isn't Concubine Li Gui within a year?" Was Nei promoted to the position of imperial concubine? The emperor doesn't mind seniority. Yuan Cairen's favor is still higher than that of Li Guifei, which is extremely unfavorable to us."

"Of course I know, but there is no other way now."

Xia Zimo said, "Mother, why don't we beat her up and say that the poison was caused by Yuan Cai, even if she can't really bring her down, she will have no skills."

The queen thought for a long time, then nodded slowly, "This is the only way to go now, hold Yuan Xingye first, and wait for the position of Concubine De to be confirmed!"

Both of them knew that De Concubine must be doomed now. After all, "Drunk Heart" was found in her residence. I also feel that Concubine De is very likely to be the one who poisoned her.

This night, countless people in the Taiming Palace could not sleep, the sky and night were as cold as water, and Altair and Vega flickered.It is estimated that only you know what you think in your heart.

Although it was not stated explicitly, everyone in the palace knew about Concubine De.After all, people in the palace are the most sensitive to these matters. On the second day, those who are interested quickly got the news that most of the dressing items used by the concubine contained "enchantment", and the eyebrow powder and rouge given by Yuan Xingye were the most .

The news came from the little eunuch next to Huo Qi, and soon reached the queen's ears.Xia Zimo naturally also knew about this from the queen.

In this way, the evidence of Concubine De's poisoning can be said to be conclusive. After all, it is about the emperor, and the matter is of great importance. Based on the idea that she can only be killed by mistake and not let go, Concubine De is doomed to perish.Only one imperial decree from Emperor He is left.

Xia Zimo got the letter from the queen to visit Concubine De.It was late autumn at this time, and the autumn wind was bleak, bringing a bit of desolation, the temperature was getting lower and lower every day, Xia Zimo was already wearing a thick cotton coat, but still felt a little cold in his hands and feet.Even if he keeps walking like this, his body cannot recover.

Concubine De was imprisoned in a confinement room. It is reasonable to say that she would not be able to see Concubine De now, but she had the Queen's letter and He Di's tolerant attitude towards concubine made Xia Zimo not be troubled.

Of course it was also the reason why Huo Qi was not here, Xia Zimo knew that Huo Qi was called to question by Emperor He, otherwise he would not have chosen to come here at this time.

Arriving at He Di's place, the confinement room has been greatly improved from before, and the environment has become much better, but even so, Xia Zimo still feels a biting cold inside.

She soon saw Concubine De. De Concubine still had the same dress and makeup as yesterday, but after only one night, she felt that she seemed to be much older, and she no longer saw the nobility when she was favored, so she could only use her last rationality to maintain her body For Defei's calmness.

Seeing Xia Zimo, Concubine De was first surprised, then overjoyed. "Sister, has the person who poisoned you been found out and is going to let me out?"

Xia Zimo shook his head, and placed the food box in his hand on the only table in the room. "Sister, I asked for the queen's letter to come to see you. The matter has not yet been settled. The empress wants me to tell you not to worry. Things are still turning around."

Concubine De didn't know that Huo Qi had already accused her of offending her, and Xia Zimo would naturally not say anything when the emperor gave an order.Concubine De said that she was the honor of the four concubines, and it would take time to convict her, although Xia Zimo's statement disappointed her, but it was also in line with her thoughts, so naturally she had no doubts.

"Sister, I didn't say that, you were caught in a trap." Xia Zimo said. "I heard from the little eunuch next to Eunuch Huo that he found Zuixin from the rouge Yuan Xingye gave you. I guess Yuan Xingye put Zuixin into the rouge to frame his sister."

"But I saw the imperial doctor, and the imperial doctor said there is no problem." Concubine De murmured.

"Sister, buying an imperial doctor is not a trivial matter. Now as long as you can prove that this imperial doctor was bought by Yuan Xingye, then you can also say that the purse found in your palace was also made by Yuan Xingye buying your palace people, and you can clear up your grievances." Yes. The empress and I will check if you have anything to tell me."

Concubine De thought for a while, and finally shook her head.Everyone in her palace was locked up, so naturally no one could be found at this time.Even if there are some concubines who have a good relationship with her, they can't use it at this time.

Xia Zimo put all the things in the food box on the table, "I can't stay for too long, sister take care of yourself, the emperor will definitely not let my sister be wronged."

It's okay not to mention He Di, but when he mentioned He Di Defei, he remembered that he was poisoned back then, He Di didn't seek justice for himself at that time, and naturally he won't now.

She shivered, and Xia Zimo had already walked to the door at this time, "Sister, please leave everything to you and the empress, if you can go out, sister, I will never forget my sister's kindness."

"What are the sisters talking about?" Xia Zimo said. "Sister, you must hold your breath. Although my mother and I know that Yuan Xingye framed you, there is no evidence yet."

"Don't worry, I won't mess up my senses." Concubine De said.

"That's good. I brought my sister the cakes that my sister likes to eat. It's dark and humid here. I think the food won't be as good there."

"Then I would like to thank my sister." Concubine De smiled wryly.

"Then I'll go first, sister, be careful."

After Xia Zimo left, Concubine De didn't eat the cakes on the table. No matter what Xia Zimo said, she was still afraid that the queen would be a fool at this time.Compared with these delicious pastries, the food sent by the eunuchs is safer.

After Xia Zimo came out of the confinement room, she returned to the Hanxiang Palace. She simply washed up and fell asleep. Although it was not yet noon, she was exhausted physically and mentally after many days of tense nerves.

It is said that soon after Xia Zimo left the confinement room, Huo Qi returned to the confinement room. After hearing that Xia Zimo had come, he had no time to reprimand the guards, so he hurried to the confinement room.

Concubine De was still sitting there, Huo Qi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. "What? Eunuch Huo, what advice do you have?" Concubine De sneered.Huo Qi didn't answer, seeing the cakes on the table, he waved his hand to ask people to remove them.

"Your Majesty, please rest at ease." Huo Qi said, then turned and left.
