Chapter 60 Exposing the Counterfeit
It is normal for a little palace lady to disappear in the harem. The intrigues in the palace and the conflicts between the masters will make the palace lady an unnecessary victim.
Therefore, no one in the harem cares about the whereabouts of the palace ladies, and allows their young lives to wither away in intrigues.
However, on the second day after Ruyi fell into the well, something strange happened.
Xue Ji led several people and ran to Lan Nian'an to complain, saying that her palace maid had disappeared, and her people also saw that the queen tortured and killed her palace maid. This sounds okay, but the missing person is obviously Ruyi
, what does this have to do with her concubine?
"Your Majesty, you can make the decision for me. Yesterday, my concubine's concubine Min'er went to help me get something from the House of Internal Affairs. She suddenly disappeared halfway there. The concubine who went with her said that she was taken away by the Queen's people.
Gone
, and also said that she saw Min'er being thrown into the well with her own eyes. Min'er was the dowry girl of Chen Concubine. Without Min'er, Chen Concubine could not even take care of herself. The Empress deliberately targeted Chen Concubine and asked the emperor to make the decision for Chen Concubine.
.”
Lan Nian'an was busy with government affairs and was too lazy to pay attention to the intrigues in the harem. He couldn't help but perfunctoryly said, "Since you have witnesses, bring the witnesses to fish out Min'er's body. With the evidence, I will make the decision for you."
Xue Ji left with tears and runny noses. Because of the emperor's decree, she asked the manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to enter through the back door of Fengli Palace, and together they opened the manhole cover behind Fengli Palace, only to see Min
Er's body was floating in the water. The body had been swollen and enlarged, but it could be clearly distinguished that it was Min'er.
Xue Ji immediately took Min'er's body to find Lan Nian'an. She cried even harder, "Your Majesty, what kind of motive does the Queen have? She must drive away all the people around this concubine and kill her?!"
I beg the Emperor to help Miner redress her grievance..."
Lan Nian'an was so upset by Xue Ji's crying that he couldn't help but order Bai Zhao, "Go and summon the queen."
Su Fengmei brought Linghua to the Dragon Palace with a happy face. She didn't know that she had been copied by Xue Ji.
"Your Majesty, good luck." Su Fengmei saluted and glanced arrogantly at Xue Ji. Xue Ji was wearing dark red that only concubines could wear, but she was wearing true red, so her attitude towards Xue Ji was quite contemptuous.
Lan Nian'an frowned. Ever since the queen came in, the smell of powder and flower water on her body has become stronger and stronger. It has reached the point where he can't stand it, and her dress has become vulgar and vulgar.
, Tiantian wears a bright red wind robe and a tacky gold phoenix crown. When he looked at her, he had changed from staring intently at her at first to being too lazy to take another look at her now.
"Queen, Xue Ji said that you murdered her personal maid Min'er, is this true?" Lan Nian Anxin wanted to deal with this matter early, but he didn't know why he felt disgusted when he saw the queen now.
At this time, Su Fengmei replied, "It's so funny. How could I murder Xue Ji's little maid? I am the master of the Sixth Palace, and Xue Ji is just a little concubine. No matter what happens, I will take care of the emperor."
I spared her to save face, after all she is a concubine."
"You!" Xue Ji's lips trembled with anger. She couldn't help but retort, "It's true that the empress is the Lord of the Sixth Palace, but she is so vicious! The witnesses and Min'er's body are all there, and the head of the Internal Affairs Office can also testify. Is it true that the empress is the Lord of the Sixth Palace?"
Do you still want to deny it?"
"You're talking nonsense. What I ordered someone to throw into the well yesterday was obviously Ruyi. Who knows how your Min'er stumbled and fell into my well!"
Just after saying this, Su Fengmei's face suddenly turned pale. She actually revealed this matter. This was something she had tried so hard to hide.
This time, Xue Ji caught the clue, and she couldn't help but pursue the victory, "Okay, okay, the Queen is really a femme fatale. You not only killed other people's concubines, but also your own concubines! Do you still have humanity?"
"..." Su Fengmei's face turned pale. How could she say such a thing? But it was too late to explain. Lan Nian'an was eager to get rid of these two noisy women, so she ordered.
"Since the queen likes killing people so much, then pack up and go to the cold palace! Fengli Palace is not suitable for you."
"No, Your Majesty, I cannot go to the cold palace, no." Su Fengmei panicked, she rolled Xue Ji's eyes fiercely, but it was of no use.
He was wearing only a thin pajamas and was quite embarrassed.
She knelt on the ground and begged, "Your Majesty, think about the relationship between us as husband and wife. I am doing this to stay with the Emperor. I like the Emperor. Why does the Emperor treat me like this?"
Lan Nian'an smiled coldly, "I have told you since the first day you returned to the palace, don't deceive me like a three-year-old child. My IQ is definitely much higher than you think!"
Su Fengmei was suddenly stunned. She didn't understand why Lan Nian'an said this. Vaguely, she felt that Lan Nian'an had already seen through her.
"Take the queen away!" Bai Zhao ordered.
"Yes, General Bai." The guards lifted Su Fengmei up one by one.
She begged and said humbly, "Your Majesty, I love you, I really love you..."
Lan Nian'an's face was expressionless, and his eyes didn't even have any warmth. Xue Ji couldn't help but show a trace of pride when she saw this posture, but she was relatively rational and knew enough was enough, so she found an excuse, bowed and left.
.
After Xue Ji left, Bai Zhao took a step forward and bowed, "Your Majesty is wise."
"Oh? How can I be wise?" Lan Nianan pursed her lips.
Bai Zhao replied, "Your Majesty is wise...Su Fengmei has already shown her flaws in front of you. Your Majesty already knows that she is a fake empress."
"You are smart. You know that I will settle accounts with you next, so you gave me a tall hat first." Lan Nian'an snorted coldly.
Bai Zhao hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong."
"Tell me, is it Nuan Zhi's instruction to hide me for so long?"
"This..." Bai Zhao hesitated for a moment. He didn't know how to answer appropriately. It can only be said that the Queen Empress did not specifically tell him not to tell him. He did not do it out of selfish reasons and wanted to get closer to her and spend more time with her.
Poke through.
"This subordinate deserves to die!" Bai Zhao said.
"You deserve to die." Lannian glanced at Bai Zhao quietly, as if there was nothing he could hide from his sharp eyes.
"When did the emperor find out?" Bai Zhao asked puzzledly.
Lan Nian'an said, "I have noticed it since the night of the boating. No one in this world understands all the details of Nuanzhi better than me."
Bai Zhao was dumbfounded. He thought he was the first to know that their mother-in-law had been impersonated, and he felt a little proud at the time, but he didn't expect that Lan Nian'an knew about it before he did.
It can be seen that he is still just a latecomer. Just like when he fell in love with An Nuanzhi, he will always be one step behind their emperor.
Lan Nian'an saw that Bai Zhao seemed to be thinking about something, and he said coldly, "Do you have any more questions?"
Bai Zhao came back to his senses and hurriedly replied, "I don't understand. If the fake empress is thrown into the cold palace, will Murong Wushang be suspicious? He sent the person here, and he is very cunning."
"No matter how cunning Murong Wushang is, he is no match for me. Just wait and see, I will make him regret this decision." Lan Nianan looked arrogantly into the distance, his eyes full of ambition and domineering...
In the Shumo Pavilion of Fengli Palace, a pretty figure first observed the surrounding situation and made sure that no one was around before tiptoeing in. There was a hint of excitement on her face.
"Your Majesty, you are so amazing. You have guessed everything. Now the fake queen will not be able to come out of the cold palace for a while, and we can get what we want."
"Yeah." An Nuanzhi sat at the table, sipping tea slowly. She smiled slightly.
The pretty girl was none other than Ruyi. She was not dead. Speaking of which, it was just a trap for her to be thrown into a well by Linghua and the fake empress.
In fact, before one of the walls of the deep well reaches the surface of the water, there happens to be a secret passage that can accommodate one person. This was what An Nuanzhi ordered Ruyi and Xiaoqi to find someone to dig specifically when they first came to Fengli Palace, so that one day
It can be prepared for emergencies. Unexpectedly, it happened to come in handy this time. Coupled with the wishful understanding of water, escaping is naturally simple.
"By the way, my lady, I found Min'er's body after being pushed into the well. I also heard that Xue Ji identified Su Fengmei because of this, and Su Fengmei was thrown into the cold palace. Do you think this is a coincidence?"
An Nuanzhi glanced at Ruyi faintly, "This is not a coincidence. It is a common thing for a concubine to disappear in the harem. Even if Xue Ji has witnesses, she would not dare to find fault with the queen. How can she be so sure that she is the queen?
What did you do?"
"Could it be that Min'er was pushed into the well by Xue Ji and she deliberately wanted to frame the Queen? Maybe Su Fengmei didn't know about it at all, so she inadvertently confessed the murder of the slave."
"That's right." An Nuanzhi nodded. It can be seen that this Xue Ji is not an ordinary person. Although she made a mistake, she still sent the Lord of the Sixth Palace to the cold palace with this method. This method is not something that ordinary people can do.
of.
But the important thing now is not to think about Xue Ji, but to get the god's establishment plan first. This is the key to replacing her soul and body again.
"Ruyi, come with me to the inner hall to take a look."
"yes."
The master and the servant dressed up in black and entered the inner hall from the inside. When they arrived at the inner hall, An Nuanzhi described the appearance of the relics to Ruyi and then started to look for them, but he didn't expect to find them.
There was no result.
"It's strange, it's obviously in the inner hall." An Nuanzhi frowned suspiciously. She has a good memory and never remembers anything wrong. Could it be that someone deliberately made her unable to find it?
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a cold voice.
