Chapter 274 The evil Concubine Li!

Sure enough, in her hands, she was really holding a stack of neat clothes.

Peng Yuanyuan secretly praised Die'er in her heart, and the tension in her heart became much calmer. She turned her eyes to Shangguan Chen again and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I think your speculation may be a misunderstanding. This earring is not from my pepper room hall."

"When did you get so close to Concubine Li?" Shangguan Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at Peng Yuanyuan carefully. He found that he knew too little about the things Peng Yuanyuan did behind his back. Perhaps he had paid too much attention to General Peng, which led to Hua Rongrong always being in danger?

Peng Yuanyuan smiled ashamed: "Your Majesty, aren't you worried that your concubine will join forces with Concubine Li, and want to combine her power and then deal with Concubine Hua?"

As soon as he said this, Shangguan Chen's anger that had originally lingered in his heart also dissipated a lot.

I am really anxious to find the real murderer!

It was a bit ridiculous to even think of such an impossible thing!

Concubine Li himself is an abandoned concubine. Even if Peng Yuanyuan really can bribe Concubine Li's heart, it is impossible to cause any disturbance in the harem. On the contrary, it may make the people in the harem feel that the queen is really willing to fall, and even win over the abandoned concubine's heart!

Thinking about the status of Concubine Li in this harem, it is just equivalent to a second-class palace maid. There is no such thing as honor. It is understandable that Peng Yuanyuan gives her some clothes...

etc!

Suddenly, Shangguan Chen's heart tightened, and a bizarre thought, like lightning, instantly penetrated his heart, stayed in his mind, and never left again.

The identity of Concubine Li is no different from that of the second-class palace maid. In other words, the earring in her hand may be worn on Concubine Li’s ears!

Could it be said?

"Your Majesty, what are you thinking?" Peng Yuanyuan asked quickly when he noticed that Shangguan Chen's face was wrong.

"Die'er, you just said that Concubine Li would never see guests. Do you know what she was doing in the bedroom? Why didn't she even want to see guests? She didn't even want the clothes you sent?" Shangguan Chen ignored Peng Yuanyuan and asked Die'er directly.

Die'er thought for a while, but shook her head and said, "Die'er doesn't know. The maids of Concubine Li seem to know nothing, they all look confused."

"Doctor Sun, come with me to go to Concubine Li's place."

Without any hesitation, Shangguan Chen turned around and left. Doctor Sun thought about it and understood something. He followed him and walked out of the Jiaofang Hall.

Seeing their backs gradually fading away, Peng Yuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief and ordered: "Close the door quickly. The emperor came here and scared me."

"I really admire the fact that the Empress was not afraid of danger just now." Die'er said with a smile.

Peng Yuanyuan showed a smile on her face, but then she became serious and said to herself: "I just don't know if there will be something wrong with Concubine Li, Aoxue, did you buy those maids of Concubine Li in advance?"

"Don't worry, everything is under our control. As long as Concubine Li dies, we can have a death without evidence. Even the earrings, in fact, I had already expected that Concubine Li's maid would pick up the earrings that Concubine Li threw away, and they would definitely be seen by the emperor. At that time, the emperor would not have any doubts." Ao Xue seemed full of confidence.

Peng Yuanyuan then felt relieved, stroking her palms, and said with relief: "Concubine Li took such a big blame for me. At that time, I will definitely burn more silk and rouge for her."

Seeing the coldness spreading from Peng Yuanyuan's eyes, Aoxue and Die'er couldn't help feeling a palpitation in their hearts. They turned their eyes together and dared not look again.

Peng Yuanyuan naturally wouldn't notice such small actions.

He came to Li Fei's bedroom all the way, and as Die'er said, outside this bedroom, there were three or four maids standing, and no one looked cautious. When he saw himself, he was even more panicked and knelt on the ground one after another, with a loud voice saying salutation: "I pay homage to the emperor!"

"In broad daylight, why should I close the door of the bedroom? What is Concubine Li doing inside?" Shangguan Chen felt that something was wrong and shouted coldly.

A maid in the lead said, "Go back to the emperor, the empress is unwell and she is resting in the bedroom."

"Discomfort? That's right. I brought Doctor Sun over to see what was going on for her, and she felt uncomfortable." She sneered, and Shangguan Chen was about to push the door and go in.

However, the maid plucked up the courage to stop him, looking embarrassed: "Go back to the emperor, the empress has found a good prescription, and she said she doesn't need an imperial physician."

"A good prescription? If it is really a good prescription, why don't I go in and take a look? If you stop in front of me again, I will kill you!" Frowning, Shangguan Chen's eyes were extremely fierce, and he immediately scared the maid to take two steps back and dared not react at all.

He pushed open the door hard, but Shangguan Chen found that there was a terrible silence in the bedroom, and no sound came out. He immediately turned around and shouted to the maid: "All your servants are waiting outside?"

"Yes, the emperor!"

"Emperor, something happened." Doctor Sun suddenly pointed to the house in front of him, and his face showed an extremely solemn expression.

Following his gaze, Shangguan Chen was stunned. He clearly saw that Concubine Li was lying straight on the ground, motionless, her pupils dilated as much as possible, and the empty pupils only added a hint of weirdness.

Shangguan Chen rushed over, but was caught by Doctor Sun in time, "Your Majesty, let me do this kind of thing."

"Well." Shangguan Chen's face was extremely serious. Concubine Li died at this time, which made his suspicion of the real murderer become more and more serious. "Does she still have a breath?"

"No more, Concubine Li has passed away." Doctor Sun sighed, "She seems to have committed suicide by taking poison, but why did she commit suicide?"

"Ah!" The maids waiting outside the palace also found Concubine Li's body, rushed in one after another, and knelt on the ground crying. The painful look made Shangguan Chen sigh.

But he still asked, "I'll ask you, what strange behavior has Concubine Li had done these days?"

“…No…No…”

One of the maids was stammering, which immediately aroused Shangguan Chen's suspicion. He took two steps at once, rushed to the maid, grabbed the maid's collar, and asked in a cold voice, "Tell me quickly, is there any?"

"…Yes, recently, the Empress said that she found a strange man among the people. The man prescribed a prescription for the Empress that can restore her appearance. The Empress wanted to rely on this prescription to restore her beauty and get the emperor's favor again."

Under Shangguan Chen's strong constraints, the maid finally said everything!

It turns out that this so-called prescription is just a superstitious legend circulating among the people. If a woman is defamed, she can kill an unborn child, so that she can regain her vitality and borrow the child's life to restore her destroyed face. The closer this child is to her blood relationship, the more effective it will be!

"Damn it!"

Shangguan Chen cursed, could this be said, Concubine Li killed the little prince?

A huge anger came over and over. He slapped the maid hard, causing bleeding from the corner of her mouth, almost fainting. Then he asked again: "I ask you, has Concubine Li revealed to you that she wants to kill my little prince?"

"I don't know. The Empress only mentioned it to me by chance, but did not say who would use the child. At that time, I just thought that the Empress was joking. That was a child. Who would have the heart to kill a child who had not yet been born?"

"Then is this earring from Concubine Li?" Shangguan Chen spread his palms, and the earring was soaked in his sweat.

The maid looked carefully and said carefully: "A few days ago, Concubine Li did lose the same earring, but this earring was worn by the second-class palace maids, perhaps the ones lost by other palace maids in the palace."

Despite her speculation, Shangguan Chen was almost sure that the person who poisoned the little prince was Concubine Li. He re-enacted his sight on Concubine Li, hoping to whip the body hard countless times before he was willing to accept it.

He was angry, his eyes were burning, and the atmosphere around him became extremely anxious.

Doctor Sun stood up cautiously and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the real murderer must be Concubine Li, but she has also received the punishment she deserves. I think this is worse than just this."

"No, I must let her family be punished. I have forgiven her once. Now, she has made a heinous mistake. I must kill her nine clans in order to avenge the little prince's deep hatred!" Shangguan Chen cursed angrily. The maids around him were all afraid of talking. The beads of sweat fell down, for fear of being affected.

"Emperor, the body of the imperial concubine has not yet recovered. If you use this great punishment in the palace, there are many taboos. It is better to give up, so that you can accumulate some good fortune for the empress, so that the empress can recover as soon as possible."

Listening to the words of Doctor Sun, the anger in Shangguan Chen's eyes gradually became much more restrained. He glanced at Concubine Li again and finally withdrew his own meaning: "Then do what you want. Leave the matter here to you, I will go back to the Changqing Palace first."

"Give me a greeting to the emperor."

After Shangguan Chen's back gradually faded away, Doctor Sun pulled his eyes back. He looked at the frightened maids and couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, the emperor handed me over here, even if he handed you all over me, I won't take your lives."
