Chapter 642: It happened suddenly

On the second day, news came from inside the palace that the imperial concubine and the empress came back without living long enough outside.
Although the emperor didn't say anything, this one really disobeyed the order.
Everyone also set their sights on the queen. After all, if this matter is to be punished, it must be the queen.
But surprisingly, the queen didn't say anything, just let her take the concubine back, and let her personal maid send some birthday gifts, as if there had never been a gap between the two.
The last birthday gift given in the past was to lift the ban on the noble concubine and empress. This seemed to be a reward, but it was actually a warning from the empress.
The meaning is: This palace can let you be imprisoned for a long time, and you can get out of the palace. Now even if you disobey the emperor's order, this palace can also lift your restraint.
Just to tell you that you were played between the applause of the house, so don’t try to resist anymore, stay in the harem and be your noble concubine, don’t think about the things that are not. .
Of course these are the versions passed down by everyone.
Du Xuechun's real thoughts are actually very simple: just to give a birthday gift.
"It is said that gifts should be given to other people's favorite and most wanted. What she wants most now is to lift the foot restraint. This palace will satisfy her. I hope she can be honest in the future and stop making trouble."
Mingying couldn't help but shook his head behind: "It's not the first day that you know that character's temperament. Do you think it is possible? I just hope that the next storm will not be too serious."
Sometimes the more you don't want to come, you will come.
The first genius Mingying said this, and something happened in the palace the next day.
There were three palace ladies who died in the palace. They were all found in the well. After this incident spread in the palace, everyone was a little worried, wondering if the next one would be themselves?
In this matter, Du Xuechun originally arranged for a secret investigation of the crowd around him to avoid panic, but he never thought it would fail and died the next day. Everyone was completely panicked.
Du Xuechun is in charge of the harem, and even such a series of murders can still occur. In fact, everyone is also wondering whether her queen is incompetent.
"Who the is that? He is so bold!"
"I heard that when those people died, they all saw ghosts in red! It seems that the toffee came to claim their lives!"
"You also said that it was those people who saw them before they died. They are already dead. How do you know?"
"Then someone said that, I naturally passed it like this, but in fact you haven't seen it, right?"
"But if it was the Toffee who came to claim her life, then this matter would be serious! There won't really be haunting in the palace, right?"
These palace ladies were discussing enthusiastically in the flowers, and they didn't know if they were scared or really gossiping.
Mingying ran over and yelled at a few of them: "The smog in the harem is now passed on by you people. D Be careful. I tell the empress empress to sew your mouth!"
The few palace ladies saw Mingying coming out, thinking that the queen should also be nearby, and they were so scared that they even knelt on the ground and began to knock their heads.
Du Xuechun walked out, left those people faintly, and turned her head back: "Let's go, the queen mother is still waiting, these individuals, you will get the punishment yourself."
Those people gratefully received the penalty, and then all ran away one by one.
Mingying was really angry: "It was these people who passed on these and some things behind their backs, and only then did the smog in the harem! Now even the queen mother has to come to ask! The queen mother has not been in the palace for a long time, it has been a long time. Didn’t you ask anything? If you suddenly call the empress, I must scold you!"
"Even if it is scolding, it is what this palace should be." Du Xuechun walked toward the front blankly: "This palace is the lord of the harem, and something like this has appeared in the harem, but it has not been able to resolve it. Panic is the negligence of my palace. Even if I really get a bit of scolding, my palace will not say anything."
When he arrived at the Queen Mother's palace, Du Xuechun lowered his head and did not speak, looking at the old woman surrounded by blue smoke, as if waiting for something quietly.
After the queen mother finished the Buddha's ceremony, she finally got up with the help of the maid and looked at Du Xuechun and said: "The queen may be a bit too recent, so there is a little bit in the harem that can't be managed. You might as well take the assistant six. Gong Zhiquan give it to the concubine again. Let the concubine handle this matter. Even if it is really not done properly, it is not your responsibility."
These words sounded like they were feeling sorry for the queen, but in fact they were just feeling sorry for the concubine.
Although the impact of this incident is great, but in the final analysis, it is only four palace ladies who died. When you look back, you can pick a person out and press your head to make a confession. This matter will be resolved.
Du Xuechun said lightly: "Queen dowager, the concubines are already investigating this matter. I believe it will come to light in some time."
"How long will you have to wait?" the queen mother suddenly asked, with a hint of irony in her tone: "You are the lord of the harem, and now there is such a panic in the harem, you can't blame it. The Aijia doesn't want to teach you anything, after all, you are still young and the harem is so big. If you can't manage it by yourself, you can ask others to help you."
"But after all, the concubine is also the queen. This harem should have been taken care of by the concubine. The negligence of the concubine is the concubine's own business. The queen mother is like a noble concubine. Do you think there is nothing else in the harem? Can someone of you be an assistant to the sixth house?"
Du Xuechun used to be a soft-tempered person, and today suddenly said so much teasing about the Queen Mother, her face immediately became particularly ugly.
"You can do whatever you want. If you are not satisfied with the imperial concubine, then you can find another capable person and let that person assist you in investigating this matter! But if the investigation is not good, you also need to worry about it. Responsible, you have to think about it!"
After being preached in the empress dowager's palace, Du Xuechun was finally able to come out.
Mingying couldn't help saying: "I don't know why this queen mother always favors the noble concubine. Obviously you are the queen!"
"If there is a prejudice against a person, this person has done good deeds for ten years and only did one bad deed, that would be enough to be reprimanded and go to hell." Du Xuechun said sighfully, "Call Jiabi over after going back. , I have something to tell her."
