Chapter 644

The news of the death of Concubine Jing surprised the queen. Although she had already realized that the incident in Yuehan Palace would definitely involve the concubines in the palace last night, she did not expect that there would be any movement so soon.

She asked Fangyi: "How did you die?"

Fangyi said: "The palace servant came to report that he had pulled the quilt and hung it on the beam of the roof, and his neck was hung."

"Oh?" The queen thought for a while, "Suicide?" Thinking about the performance of Concubine Shi Jing at the gate of Yuehan Palace last night. Although she said something, it did not seem too prominent. She was far worse than Concubine Yuan Shu. Why was Concubine Jing the first to die at this time?

Just when he was puzzled, his highness came to report: "Report to the Empress, there has been news from the clan mansion that the deputy commander of the Imperial Army who was on duty in the palace last night had already asked for confessions. He released the fire. The purpose was to burn Concubine Yun to death in Yuehan Palace, so that the harem could be restored to the rain and dew. Even if the emperor was still biased, at least the concubines had a chance to fight, instead of sitting like they are now... waiting for death."

"Bold!" The queen almost turned her nose abrupt. "A small deputy commander of the Imperial Guard actually took charge of the harem?"

The palace servant said again: "When the Empress said, the deputy commander's sister is the nobleman Jing in the palace. He acted like this just to make a good future for his sister. However, the deputy commander said that the nobleman Jing knew nothing about this matter, and it was his own idea."

Fang Yi's heart moved and then spoke, "In this way, things will be right."

The queen thought about it and nodded, "In those years, because of the harem affairs, the emperor promoted some of the mothers' relatives to appease the concubines. At first, the palace remembered who had obtained any positions, but later, he did not deliberately remember them. Now that I think about it, it seems that Concubine Jing has an older brother on duty in the palace. Forget it!" She sighed and said again, "The deputy governor has already asked for confessions. This crime must not be able to survive. Concubine Jing has also been hanged. It is time to settle this case." She waved her hand while saying that, and asked the concubine to retreat.

Fang Yi waited for the palace servant to step down and said again: "The Empress decided that this is all I can do? Can the Emperor convince him?"

The queen had known that she would ask this, and she couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It's okay to say that she won't convince, it depends on his own meaning. This matter clearly shows that Jing Guiren is a gunman, and her brother's death and confession is clearly to excuse the other party. But she didn't plan to do so. Both of them had the same idea, and in the end, no one could save anyone."

"The queen thinks that the instructor behind this scene is..."

"We must keep an eye on Concubine Yuan Shu in the near future. If there is any movement there, it will be immediately rewarded." The queen said this. She was not confused. The right and wrong in the palace, no matter whether it was, it could not escape her thoughts one by one. Unfortunately, Concubine Yuan Shu was the mother of the Eighth Prince. She had to temporarily suppress all this, at least until the eighth prince returned to Beijing, see what was going on, and then make a decision.

When talking about Concubine Yuan Shu, Fang Yi remembered something again: "It is said that after the fire in Yuehan Palace last night, someone saw that Concubine Jing went to Cunshan Palace, but she didn't stay inside for too long before she came out. When she came out, she looked bad, as if she had cried."

"Yeah." The queen nodded, not surprised, just ordered: "Continue to stare." Then she sighed: "Because of Concubine Yun's existence, the harem has been silent for so many years, and finally someone can't stand the loneliness."

When Yuehan Palace was restored, Tianwu became energetic and supervised the worker himself. The money he used was not to pay the national treasury, but to take out his own money.

The emperor has hidden a lot of private money in recent years, but if it is used to repair Yuehan Palace, Zhang Yuan still feels distressed. The eunuch's eyes turned and he had an idea, so he simply spread the matter of the emperor using his own money to repair Yuehan Palace. In less than half a day, he received donations from all the princes, princes and ministers. The amount of money is huge, and it is more than enough to repair Yuehan Palace. Emperor Tianwu Long felt relieved.

The palace was in chaos overnight, but outside the palace was not affected at all. After noon that day, Wu Lisheng brought the fruit box into the gate of Feng Mansion, and was sent to the hall by the butler, and Feng Fandai received her.

When the housekeeper came to report, he said that the new neighbors who moved next door came to visit. He looked at the Lotus King when Fandai was moving next door. Although he didn't know who he was, he was shocked by his appearance at first glance. Even a proud girl like Fandai couldn't help but be amazed secretly after seeing the appearance of Lotus King, and developed a deep inferiority. She knew that even if she was rebuilt, she would not be able to have such a good face. But after thinking about it again, she was not that good-looking, and Feng Yuheng was not that good-looking either. When she thought about it, her heart became much brighter.

Today, when she heard that the neighbor came to visit her, she thought she was the stunning woman, so she wanted to take a closer look. After all, she still can't forget it when viewed from afar. But she didn't expect that although the person who came into the hall was beautiful, she looked too eclipsed by such stunning comparison, but she was just ordinary.

When Li Sheng saw Fandai, he quickly stepped forward and took the initiative to salute and said, "Minister Li Sheng, a civilian woman, has met Miss Feng's family."

A civilian woman caught Fandai's attention, and then he carefully looked at Li Sheng's dress. It turned out to be a little woman. Fandai asked her: "Are you a servant in the next house?"

Li Sheng was stunned and then looked down at her clothes. Although they were not very valuable, they were always much better than those of the servants. Why did Miss Feng think she was a servant?

Seeing that she was stunned and did not admit it, Fan Dai also remembered something and said, "I understand, you are the sister of the beautiful beauty next door? A few days ago, I heard someone talk about a newcomer next door. He was a stunning beauty with his sister." While saying that, he looked at Li Sheng and asked in confusion: "Since you are already married, why are you still living with your sister? Oh yes, it should be that your sister has just moved into a new house, so you came to help with the care?"

After saying this, Li Sheng was confused, but he also understood that the Miss Feng in front of her must be another person who recognized the Lotus King as a woman. Since she left the North, she has been repeatedly warned by the Lotus King again and again that in the capital of Dashun, she must not mention her original identity. They are ordinary people and must have nothing to do with Qianzhou.

However, the real identity is not allowed, but the relationship between husband and wife can always be said. So Li Sheng told Fan Dai seriously: "Ms. Feng misunderstood. I believe that the stunning beauty Miss Feng mentioned should be my husband. Her husband is outstanding in appearance, and it is inevitable that people will mistakenly think of it as a woman."

"What?" Fandai was a little confused. Male? "Impossible! Impossible!" She stood up as she said, looking a little excited. "That day, I heard someone ask the woman, who admitted that she had brought her sister to live in the capital. It was definitely true." As she said that, she looked at Li Sheng in confusion and asked her angrily: "Do you think I am blind? If a person looks really good, this may be a great success in everyone's eyes, but no matter how clumsy I am, I will not be able to tell the difference between men and women. She admitted that you are a sister, so don't deceive me anymore. Let me tell you, I am the concubine of the future Prince Li's mansion. Your Highness is the fifth prince of the dynasty. Think about it clearly, what the crime should be for me to come to deceive me."

Li Sheng retreated, not as if she was scared by Fan Dai's words, but her face was filled with a hint of sadness. At this moment, her mind was full of the words Fan Dai said, "You are the sister she admitted in person." She didn't understand, why did she become the sister even though she was the wife of King Lian?

The maid who came beside her knew that her lady was going to be sick when she saw this, so she quickly said, "Madam, don't be sad. I think the master was wearing women's clothes again that day. In order not to cause misunderstandings, she said casually. The lady also knows the master's temper, don't take it to heart." As she said that, she took the initiative to put the fruits and snacks in her hand on the table aside, then leaned over to Fandai, and said, "Miss Feng, my wife has prepared some polite gifts. She has no other purpose. She just thinks that she should come to recognize her door after being a neighbor and will take care of her in the future. I really don't know that the lady is such a noble identity and has disturbed her much. These fruits are really shabby, and I forget Miss Feng for forgiveness."

Fan Dai didn't care about this, and she was also quite interested in the people who moved next door. The woman was so beautiful that she could not feel jealous, but she was just full of envy and desire to get close to her. She hurriedly said, "It's okay, it's not shabby, it's okay for you to recognize her. In the future, they are all neighbors. If you have any questions, come here to find me." As she said that, she asked again: "Is the owner of the house next door that beauty?"

The little girl corrected Fandai again: "It's not a beauty, but our master."

Fandai frowned and said, "Master? That master is the beauty's father?" I think this is the only possibility.

"No." Unexpectedly, the little girl shook her head again, "The master is the master, our wife's husband, probably the beauty Miss Feng mentioned!"

Fandai was completely confused and asked again unwillingly: "What's her surname?"

The little girl said, "The surname is Lian." After that, she didn't stay any longer, pulled Li Sheng and bowed to Fan Dai, and left.

Fandai didn't stop him, but stood in the hall in wonder, thinking about the stunning woman she saw that day. She clearly heard the woman say that she was the owner of the house, and she really heard the people with good letters ask her who she lived with, and she said she was with her sister. Could it be that she was really wrong? It was not a woman, but... a man?

Fandai was shocked and shook her head. It was impossible. If the man looked like that, who would be the monster?

Wu Lisheng returned to the next house in a daze. When he returned to his yard, he was still a little confused. He always recalled the words of Fan Dai just now, and the relationship between her and the Lotus King. Later, he even asked the maid beside him: "Who am I?"

This is a common manifestation of Wu Lisheng in recent years. The maid is no longer surprised. She just coaxed her to lie down and take a nap, and there was no other way.

On the other side, King Lian walked out of another corner of the mansion, took his group down and headed straight to the door of the mansion, and directed his servants to hang the newly-made plaque on the mansion.
