Chapter 2474: evidence

Thinking of this, her breath choked.
And Nan Yan said calmly: "Come in."
Before that, she had already let people come in twice in a row, one was Ruying and the other was Xinxian, all of which made Chen Lianxiang panic, so this time, Chen Lianxiang almost held his breath, even the heartbeat almost stopped.
Opening his eyes wide, he saw Xiaotai, who had been following the imperial concubine just now, listening to Fu come in.
She frowned involuntarily.
What is this person doing again?
I saw Tingfu holding something in his hand, walked into the imperial study room, and bowed down to Zhu Feng, Nan Yan and others: "The slave maid worships the emperor, and the concubine empress, ladies and gentlemen."
Nan Yan said calmly: "Listen to blessings, did things bring them?"
Tingfu raised his hands immediately.
"The slave and maid brought it."
Everyone looked intently and saw that he also held a small box in his hand.
Zhu Feng said: "What is this again?"
Nan Yan took the box, turned around and sent it to Zhu Feng. Zhu Feng took it and opened it, frowning slightly.
What's inside is a box of incense ash.
He said: "Is this-incense ash?"
As soon as he heard the word "fragrant ash", Chen Lianxiang's breath sank again.
And Nan Yan said calmly: "Yes."
Zhu Feng frowned and asked, "What is going on?"
Nan Yan turned to Tingfu and said, "Tingfu, tell the emperor yourself."
"Yes,"
Hearing Fu's rules, he knelt and straightened his body, and then said to Zhu Feng: "The emperor, these incense ashes are burnt in the rockery cave behind the main hall of Xianfu Palace every day by the maid of Xianfu Palace, Fuer."
"what!?"
Zhu Feng hadn't reacted after hearing this, and Chen Lianxiang and Fu'er on the side were already shocked.
Chen Lianxiang originally wanted to calm down, but by this time, she panicked too.
Unexpectedly, they only secretly burn a piece of incense every day to destroy evidence. How could such a hidden thing be discovered by the imperial concubine?
Could it be that the imperial concubine really sent someone to stare at them?
Fu'er's face turned pale.
She opened her eyes wide, staring at the box in the emperor's hand, and said in a panic: "Why, how, how is it possible? I'm obviously going there alone, why would you—"
Listening to Fu said: "Girl Fu'er, you are indeed burning these incense alone, but it takes a long time for a piece of incense to burn, and-probably because of the medicine in the incense, you usually don't keep it. Now, after lighting the incense, you leave to do other things."
Fu'er's face was pale, and she said, "So you, you--"
She looked at the whole box of incense ash in the box again, her feet softened suddenly, and she almost knelt on the ground.
Listening to Fu said: "Yes. Every time you leave, our family will find a way to enter Xianfu Palace."
Fuer said in disbelief: "You, how would you know? I never told anyone, how would you know?"
Listening to Fu said: "Girl Fu'er probably forgot. It was our family who passed the news to your Xianfu Palace on the day when the imperial concubine announced that she would strictly investigate the harem."
"What about it, I—"
Fu'er had a hardened mouth originally, but suddenly, when she thought of something, her whole body trembled.
Even the voice trembled, looking at the blessing in horror: "You, you--"
Hearing Fu sneered and said: "It seems that you finally remembered."
"..."
"That day, you happened to go out with your things, but when you met our house, you immediately hid your things behind you."
"..."
"Although you moved very fast, we didn't see what it was, but your behavior is really strange. Especially when the princess Xinping drowned and fell into a coma, the imperial concubine needed to use the harem investigation to lead the snake out of the cave. When the whole harem was rumbling, it was inevitable that our family would pay more attention to suspicious people and things."
"..."
"At that time, even though you hid what was in your hand, our family has already noticed you."
"..."
"After that, Jing 嫔 went to the palace of the noble concubine and empress, and our family had been staring at you, only to realize that you secretly held a piece of incense and ran behind the rockery to burn it."
"..."
"Although our family doesn't know that this incense was exchanged from the nourishing fast, this matter is suspicious, not to mention, our family also saw that you sweep up the incense ash and throw it into the water. The action is obvious, it is destroying something that cannot be known, so—"
Zhu Feng's eyes flickered, and he said in a deep voice: "So, after that, you start to observe her, and after she lights the incense and leaves, collect the incense ash."
Tingfu hurriedly turned to Zhu Feng and said respectfully: "Yes."
"..."
"Furthermore, the emperor, the servants are not only collecting incense ash. If it is only incense ash, there is no evidence of them. The servants took advantage of her to leave on several occasions, extinguished the incense that had just been lit, took them away, and then used the incense ash prepared in advance, Li Daitao Stiff, she didn't notice it either."
"Oh?"
Hearing the words, Zhu Feng stretched out his hand and fiddled with it in the box. As expected, a few pieces of incense were burned out of the incense ash.
As soon as she saw this, Chen Lianxiang's whole body collapsed, taking two steps back in succession, and almost fell to the ground.
Zhu Feng raised his head, gave her a cold look, and said, "Wang Baizhi."
Wang Baizhi immediately stepped forward: "Weichen is here."
Zhu Feng said: "Check this incense."
"Yes!"
Wang Baizhi hurriedly took the piece of incense with both hands, and didn't even need to light it. He just put it in front of his nose and smelled it, and immediately said: "The emperor, this piece of incense is exactly the same as the remaining incense that the imperial concubine and empress took out of the Yangxingzhai! "
Nan Yan said quietly: "From the time I heard Fu came back to report to the palace, the palace has been counting, Jing Lai made Fu'er burn a total of thirty-eight pieces of incense."
"..."
"Plus the one used for Yangxingzhai, and the one used to strengthen the medicinal effect in the Yushufang today, a total of forty tablets."
With that, she picked up the box of incense she found from Yangxingzhai.
"It's exactly the amount of a whole box of incense."
Having said this, she slowly turned around to look at Chen Lianxiang, her eyes cold as if she was going to pierce her body, and even more so, to pierce her heart.
Saying word by word: "Jing, this is what you said, and the one with fragrance is a sinner."
"..."
"What else do you have to say!?"
Shen Lianxiang knelt down after hearing a "plop".
However, she did not bow down in fear, but shivered constantly, as if her bones had been removed, and fell to the ground softly.
Cold sweat dripped from her face like a broken string.
She stammered: "Concubine, concubine..."
At this moment, Zhu Feng's face also became cold, and his voice was even more low and gloomy: "You, why did you do this?"
