The room fell silent and Cui Gu was taken out. Xuan Bin glanced around the room and saw that Xiaochun was not exposed. She felt relieved and left immediately.
"Concubine Lan, the matter happened in your palace. You need to investigate thoroughly. If you can't find it out, I will investigate it for you!" Jin Xin looked at Concubine Lan and said coldly.
Not to mention Concubine Lan doubting herself, even Jin Xin also doubted Concubine Lan.
Concubine Lan herself first proposed to leave the third prince to her care, but Jin Xin refused out of consideration for the child, and then sent Cui Gu over.
If it weren't for Concubine Lan's ability to take care of the second princess with peace of mind, and the friendship between the two of them, Jin Xin would never have let Cui Gu help.
After hearing this, Concubine Lan hurriedly said, "I will investigate this matter thoroughly. Someone must have framed me, and I also believe that my empress would not do such a thing."
"Of course I won't do it, but I am curious about why something happened just one night after Cuigu arrived. Don't you have anything to explain to me?" Jin Xin looked at Concubine Lan with great displeasure.
Concubine Lan was stunned for a moment, "Are you suspecting that I intend to frame you?"
Jin Xin narrowed her eyes and did not deny it.
This was such a coincidence, and Concubine Lan's attitude just now was not very firm in trusting her.
"My concubine has absolutely no intention of doing so. If she has such intentions, I will definitely die a miserable death!" Concubine Lan hurriedly raised her finger and swore, her face full of dissatisfaction.
"But Cuigu was kicked out of the palace by the emperor because of you. I am implicated by you." Jin Xin said dissatisfied.
Concubine Lan was also sure at this time that Cui Gu was not selfish, but that there was indeed a ghost in her palace.
"Everyone, get out!" Lan Fei ordered coldly.
After hearing the order, everyone in the house immediately went out.
After everyone left, Concubine Lan slowly stood up.
Jin Xin frowned, "Do you have any clues?"
"Not yet, but this matter makes me think that someone is trying to provoke us. He is in my palace, but I can't find him out."
It has been several years since Concubine Lan entered the palace. These people have been serving her since then, and they don't look suspicious. The new ones are the people who served around the third prince, but Concubine Lan is cautious. None of those who have been served inside are reused; they are all served outside.
The person who was serving Cuigu tonight was someone who had been serving for many years. It was hard to tell who was the mole for a while.
When Jin Xin heard this, she understood that nothing could be found through such an investigation. Anyone could be the mole, but they could all be wronged.
Jin Xin knew what happened tonight and intended to provoke.
In this case, let's make a plan.
"In that case, why don't we take advantage of tonight to make people think that we have turned against each other." Jin Xin asked with a raised eyebrow.
"My concubine also has this intention." Concubine Lan smiled.
Jin Xin immediately grabbed the cup and threw it on the ground, shouting angrily and loudly, "How dare you, Concubine Lan, to murder me, what kind of crime do you deserve?"
Not to be outdone, Concubine Lan said, "How dare I try to kill the queen? The queen, on the other hand, is so ambitious that she actually hurts an innocent child."
"Absurd, you are slandering me. Believe it or not, I will punish you!"
"The queen knows right and wrong!"
"Jian Shou is just alarmist. You are talking nonsense. I will not take this lightly."
Concubine Lan didn't speak any more.
The commotion inside seemed so serious that Concubine Lan's personal maid Ying'er looked worried and quickly knelt down, "Queen, please calm down, our empress did not intentionally offend."
The two people in the room looked at each other, and Jin Xin immediately stepped forward and slapped Lan Fei with her fake hand, causing Concubine Lan to fall to the ground.
Then, the door was opened and Jin Xin walked out.
When Ying'er saw the door open, she hurried in and helped Lan Fei up. The maids who were kneeling at the door did not dare to speak.
"If Concubine Lan commits a crime below, she will be punished in Ronghua Palace for three days." After finishing speaking, Jin Xin left.
Ying'er looked at her master distressedly and choked with sobs, "Mother, what's going on? Why are you quarreling?"
Concubine Lan looked at the people outside the palace and sighed, "The queen is so cruel and ruthless, it's really chilling."
Xiaochun, who was kneeling on the ground, lowered his eyes and secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
After the door was closed again, Concubine Lan told Ying'er, "Keep an eye on the people in the palace to see who will leave the Ronghua Palace privately, and report back to the palace immediately."
When Ying'er heard this, she instantly understood that her mother-in-law and the queen were just acting.
At this time, Jin Xin returned to Kunning Palace, feeling uneasy. It was too long to wait for Concubine Lan's reply, so Jin Xin had to fight for some time with the emperor to let Cui Gu stay in the palace for a few more days.
Jin Xin was naturally suspicious of Xuan Bin, but she needed solid evidence to point to Xuan Bin.
"Rainbow, let's go to Changle Palace." Jin Xin said.
The emperor went to the Qianqing Palace now, and Concubine Shun slept alone. Not to mention disturbing Concubine Shun in the middle of the night, Jin Xin had to go no matter how late it was.
After Concubine Shun was woken up, she knew that the queen was looking for her, so she quickly got up.
"Queen Wan'an, why did the queen come to Changle Palace in person so late at night?" Concubine Shun was curious and respectful.
Jin Xin stepped forward and took Shun Bin's hand, "I need you to do me a favor, so I disturb you at night, don't you blame me?"
Concubine Shun hurriedly said, "How come? I'm grateful to the empress for reminding me so that I didn't make a big mistake. I saved me many times. I'm very grateful."
Jin Xin smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's fine if you don't blame me. I'm here to ask you to intercede with the emperor on my behalf. Let Cui Gu stay in the palace for three days, which can be regarded as the end of the relationship between master and servant."
Jin Xin briefly talked about what happened in the Ronghua Palace. After listening to it, Concubine Shun did feel embarrassed, but she did not shirk and nodded, "I am willing to share my worries for the Queen."
Jin Xin smiled upon hearing this, "Thank you very much."
With the words of Shun Concubine, he will go to the imperial court tomorrow to intercede. Even if the emperor knew that he was asking Concubine Shun to intercede, for the sake of Concubine Shun, he would not refuse to give her face, let alone let him choose the queen in front of Concubine Shun. Lose face.
If she begged by herself, the queen would kidnap her with those reasons. Jin Xin didn't want to hear it, she just wanted to keep Cui Gu.
Then, she asked someone to take her belt to the Shenxing Department, and asked the guards to treat Cuigu well and to stay for one more day before sending her out of the palace tomorrow.
Looking at the empty Kunning Palace, she sat on the bed. Jin Xin looked at where Cui Gu was sitting before. She just felt so lonely.
It took her a long time to adapt to Lianrong's departure, and Cui Gu left again, and she had no one to talk to.
She suddenly felt quite sad. No one could bear her secrets. If Cuigu left again, she would only feel more miserable. No one could tell her what was in her heart.
He fell into a deep sleep without them coming to say hello in the morning. When he woke up again, Rainbow brought good news.
The emperor agreed and asked Cuigu to come back and serve him for three days.
When Jin Xin got up, Cui Gu had been brought back. Jin Xin felt heartbroken when she saw that one side of Cui Gu's face was swollen.
Cui Gu stepped forward and saluted, "This servant is incompetent, which makes the empress worried."
