Hong Ling's sudden death quickly reached Li Wei's ears, and Li Wei immediately ordered people to block the news. She didn't want more people to know about this, the more people knew, the more disadvantaged.
Hong Ling chose to hang herself, it seemed that she couldn't get rid of her involvement in the murder of the emperor. She is a little maid of the Palace of Han Yuan, why would she murder the emperor, she is fighting for the lives of her own family. Besides, even if she succeeded, and what would happen if she didn't need to be exposed, could she still be an emperor?
Logically speaking, it is obviously not true. There must be an instigator behind the scenes. Next, it's time to investigate Hongling's network.
The former Wansu and the current Hongling have similarities between Li Wei. The first thing Li Wei thought of was Hongling's godfather, and he immediately removed his position as the director of the imperial dining room and waited for questions.
Then he began to investigate related personnel who had a relationship with Hongling. This is a huge network of relationships, and it is impossible to find out clearly in a day or two.
Just when Li Wei was so busy and restless day and night, Mrs. Dun brought Fukang to the door to greet her.
If someone else, Li Weizhen, is gone, but Du Fei is different from others, Li Wei still invites her to come in and sit down.
"You are busy, Queen Mother."
"Yes, I've been busy recently." Li Wei said and glanced at Fukang who was in front of him. Fukang's face was white and there was no blood. When I saw Fukang, I would always think of Ups and Downs, so I cared about the sentence: "How about Xiaoliu coming in?"
Toffee Dun replied with a smile: "He's not bad, he's a lot stronger."
Li Wei said with satisfaction: "That's fine."
Princess Dun stood in front of her for a while, and suddenly asked: "Queen dowager, did something happen in the palace last night?"
Li Wei hesitated, and Fang said, "A great palace lady who served the emperor hanged herself."
After hearing this, Princess Dun was astonished and said: "Well, what's going on?"
"Perhaps it is a guilty conscience." Li Wei said lightly.
Concubine Dun took her son, her expression was dull for a while, she didn't know what she was thinking, and after a while, she bent down and said a few words to Fukang, and then she was led by her.
"Queen dowager, some concubines want to talk to you."
Li Wei glanced at her in surprise, then said: "It's a bit busy here, if it's not important, you can come and discuss with me another day."
But Mrs. Dun said, "No, it's a very important thing."
Li Wei finally put down the record book in his hand, sat upright, ordered the man to serve tea to Concubine Dunn, and brought him to the door of the room, leaving him alone.
Concubine Dun's heart became more and more anxious, what she was going to say next would turn the entire palace upside down.
"Queen dowager, you have been investigating the real cause of the emperor's death recently, right?"
"Yes." Li Wei didn't have anything to hide from her, and she then asked: "What did you find?"
Toffee Dunk kneeled immediately in front of Li Wei. The first sentence Li Wei said was the one that Li Wei had heard a lot of offense these days: "The concubine is guilty."
"Sin? What crime did you commit?" Li Wei looked at her inquisitively.
"In the case of King Shu, the concubines knew some news in advance, but they have not been informed."
"Oh? Are you talking about Taifei Qi and King Shu? Taifei Qi is dead, and King Shu is also dead, and they all have their own corresponding fate. The coffin has been concluded, what else can be said."
"The Queen Mother... there was one other person involved in this matter."
Li Wei was shocked and hurriedly asked, "What are you talking about, there are still people? Who is that?"
Toffee Dun bit her lip and said ardently, "It's the Toffee King."
Li Wei immediately stood up. She seemed to have disbelief and asked again: "What you said is true?"
"It's true."
"Wan, I ask you, what evidence do you have to prove that Princess Jing was involved in that matter?"
Toffee Dun hurriedly said: "The concubines heard them in person, and the concubines can testify."
Donta Concubine is willing to be a witness, is that true? But it's not right. Li Wei immediately asked again: "Since you have heard something with your own ears, then I ask you, why didn't you tell me the situation at the time?"
Du Fei trembling said: "The concubine is afraid."
Li Wei felt amused: "Fear? It's really nonsense. Even if a noble concubine can cover the sky with one hand, can she pass me? I am the empress dowager who was proclaimed by the first emperor, even if she is weak and incompetent. No matter what you are. Besides, we have been in close contact over the years, just like my sisters, but you kept the secret from me when such a big thing happened. Don’t you really know that I was almost killed by them."
"So the concubine is guilty, and the concubine can't help you. These words have been held in the mind of the concubine for so long, and the concubine is not spitting out unpleasantly, so please ask the queen mother to give it to you."
"Ming Jian, how can you tell me how you have come to this point? It can be seen that the good things between you and me in the past are fake. Any sisterhood, one and one heart is also fake." In the deep palace, there are times when relatives and sisters turn their faces. , Let alone such a pure friendship, it really means that the ship capsizes if it capsizes.
"Queen dowager, the concubine's crime deserves ten thousand deaths, but the concubine is willing to come forward and point out the crimes committed by the noble concubine. Please also give the concubine a chance to atone for the crime."
It seems that Princess Dun is determined to pull the noble concubine from the horse, and testifies that if it works, then the succession of King Ping will be greatly affected.
The true intention of the Concubine Dun was to go to the throne, but she has a biological son. Li Wei had already figured out the intention of the Concubine Dun, otherwise he didn't explain how to explain the incident, but when it came to this juncture, he mentioned it.
Li Wei gave Mrs. Dun this opportunity and promised her: "Okay, I can arrange this."
At the moment, Li Wei invited the noble concubines and concubines in the palace, the princesses in Beijing, the princess, and the princesses into Chongqing Palace. These people got together, thinking it was about discussing the throne.
Before that, most people still stood on the most promising Pingwang.
Li Wei changed into an azurite uniform, pulled up his jet-black hair bun, and inserted a peach hairpin.
The invited person had arrived at the main hall and took a seat, waiting for the Queen Mother to appear.
Li Wei changed his clothes and finished dressing. Lan Hui and Qingxiang gave each other a kick before they headed to the main hall.
The people in the main hall were moving and whispering, and they were all silent the moment Li Wei appeared.
Li Wei looked forward and walked toward the throne. When she was promoted, a group of internal and external wives bowed to Li Wei.
Li Wei said a waiver, and then gave a seat, and everyone returned to their place.
She glanced away, and all that could be notified were notified, except for one or two who were absent, everyone else arrived.
"It's hard for everyone to run this trip, and it's not easy to gather you. Today I will gather everyone together, and there is one thing to tell you."
Li Wei's voice just fell, and one person was coming towards the main hall. It's not someone else who is here, it's Du Fei.
