Seeing how determined she was, the emperor knew that it would be useless to talk more. Since she persisted, the emperor would not continue to argue with her.
"It's up to you. I'll give you a few days to deal with your mother's funeral affairs and the autumn hunt. You are the queen. You still need to cheer up and stop being willful."
After the emperor finished speaking, he left.
Jin Xin was indifferent.
He supports himself as the queen, naturally because he is obedient and does not let him worry. As long as he allows himself to compromise on anything, he will compromise.
But her bottom line is her relatives. She can compromise on other things, but not on her relatives.
The Taiping Palace was still under investigation. Concubine Lan settled her children and rushed here immediately. Seeing Jin Xin kneeling there, she sighed and slowly stepped forward.
"Queen, please express my condolences."
"I didn't expect that there are so many concubines, and you are the first one to come see me." Jin Xin said bitterly.
"I know you are sad, I know, but you have to cheer up. You still need to be in charge of the affairs of the harem. The autumn hunt is right in front of you. If you only care about being sad at this time, I am afraid that Concubine Shun will take away the matter of co-managing the harem. "
Concubine Shun is really favored now. How long has she been in the palace? She has been granted the title of concubine and given the power of associate. Her status is so high that Concubine Lan is so powerful that Concubine Shun no longer takes her seriously.
If this continues, she will become a noble concubine sooner or later.
"I am unwell. Your concubine, you are the concubine in the harem second only to me. You also have the right to co-administer. You have a prince and a princess. If she oversteps her bounds, you can naturally exercise the right to discipline her." Jin Xin said calmly. road.
"My dear, please don't get me wrong. I'm not here to encourage you to deal with her. I'm just worried that once she takes over the responsibility for Qiu Lie, she will become even more arrogant and outshine you." Concubine Lan said quickly.
Concubine Shun was indeed very proud. The emperor always indulged her, and everyone in the harem was very dissatisfied.
The Queen must suppress her.
"I am in a bad mood right now. We will discuss this matter later."
When Concubine Lan heard this, she also knew that it was inappropriate to say this at the moment, and if she said it, she would be even more deliberate.
"Then, please be quiet for a moment. If the emperor allows it, I will personally come out of the palace to offer incense to my wife."
After saying that, she left.
Cui Gu came in at this time and felt extremely distressed when she saw Jin Xin's sad look.
"Did you bring the children?" Jinxin asked.
"Bring it." Cui Gu nodded.
Jin Xin looked at An and said, "Mother, I asked the children to come see you. You can rest in peace and don't scare the children."
As he spoke, he stepped forward and stroked her eyebrows, finally closing them.
His demeanor also became quiet and peaceful.
Seeing this, Jin Xin collapsed a little, "She knows it all."
Cui Gu held Jin Xin in her arms, "Madam is thinking of you and the child, so naturally she doesn't want you to be too sad. You must cheer up."
How could Jin Xin not know that her mother was gone, she still had her children, and her little brother outside the palace, so no matter how difficult it was, she had to go down this road steadily.
The prince and princess were not allowed to leave the palace. Jin Xin naturally understood that things were complicated and Jin Xin would not risk the child. She could only let the child burn incense for her grandmother here tonight, and she would be sent out of the palace for the funeral tomorrow morning.
After the children went out, Gu Zhao came in.
"Were you with Concubine Shun between the second quarter and the west quarter of Xu Shi?" Jin Xin asked Gu Zhao.
"Yes, Concubine Shun has gone crazy." Gu Zhao sighed.
So, Jin Xin probably knew what Concubine Shun wanted to do with Gu Zhao, it was nothing more than to express her love for her.
"My mother was killed at this time." She gritted her teeth. She felt like she had angina pectoris at that time, and the mark on the hourglass happened to be around the third quarter of the eighth day of the lunar month.
"I don't know, I didn't see Madam at that time." Gu Zhao explained hurriedly.
"Where's Concubine Shun? Did she come back then?"
"No, when I came to the table, she hadn't come back yet, but after a while, she also came back. Do you suspect that she did it?"
Jin Xin was unsure, "There are pinch marks on my mother's neck. Go and see who could have made these marks."
Jin Xin believed in Gu Zhao.
Gu Zhao stepped forward to check and found that the red marks on his neck were pinch marks and the throat cartilage was crushed. The opponent's fingers were very long and his strength was strong. He could cut off the throat and stop breathing with one hand.
"It seems that this person's skills are not low." Gu Zhao looked serious.
"Could it be that Concubine Shun asked someone to do it?" Jin Xin felt that it was related to Concubine Shun for the first time.
"There is no such person around her. The Guan family is just a small family, and there will be no such powerful experts to help her." Gu Zhao analyzed with a frown.
A person who can achieve this scar should be at least eight feet tall, judging by the width of the mark, the length of his hand.
There weren't many men present who were over eight feet tall.
Among the people who went out at a close time, it was basically the Liu You who was next to King An.
"It's Liu You!" The two said in unison.
Jin Xin could no longer calm down and immediately stood up to ask for the order.
As soon as Jin Xin walked out of the door, Jiang Quwu came. Jin Xin immediately asked, "Where is Liu You?"
"He's out of the palace. He is King He'an's right-hand man and the steward of the palace. He asked the emperor for instructions and followed King He'an out of the palace." Jiang Quwu said.
There was a confrontation with people from Prince He'an's Mansion just now, and the two sides were in a stalemate. The original intention was that Liu You was suspected and asked him to cooperate, but Prince He'an felt offended and took out the death-free gold medal with a strong attitude.
The emperor specially sent Huang Wanshun to convey the message and let people leave the palace.
There is no evidence on this matter, but it is almost clear. As long as we continue to investigate, we can make the case if there is evidence.
Jin Xin didn't want to hear it, so she turned around and went to Qianqing Palace.
Jiang Quwu naturally wouldn't stop her and went with her.
But the emperor went to Changle Palace.
With so many things happening tonight, how could he go to Changle Palace to find Concubine Shun, so that Jin Xin could calm down.
Although he knew that he was cold and cold, and never expected him to treat her sincerely, he should always take the relationship between husband and wife into consideration.
In front of the Changle Palace, Huang Wanshun looked at the queen helplessly, "The emperor said that there will be no one here tonight."
"Is it because I don't see anyone, or because I don't see you?"
Huang Wanshun was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.
He came to Changle Palace just because he didn't want to see the queen. Just now, he and Wang An took out the late emperor's death-free gold medal, acted like the emperor's uncle, and talked about his past achievements. The emperor finally chose to settle the matter.
The attitude is obvious.
"Your Majesty, please allow my brother to conduct a thorough investigation with Prince An and bring justice to my concubine's mother!" Jin Xin said loudly.
The emperor sat there with a look of helplessness, a little guilty, and even more ignorant. For the sake of An family, the already stable court was once again in turmoil. This was not what the emperor wanted to see.
As his queen, Jin Xin should be more sensible.
There is absolutely no need to offend the Tenth Emperor's uncle about catching wind and shadow.
But he knew the queen's temperament. Once her family was involved, her temperament would change, so he thought of hiding in Changle Palace.
Jin Xin was still begging outside, which made him even more irritated.
Concubine Shun also felt guilty, but no matter what she did tonight, she would not let the emperor soften his heart.
Otherwise, she will die too.
