After Xiao Fubao’s Life Was Stolen, He Became the Favorite of Everyone In the Capital

Chapter 349 Entering the Shen Punishment Department

The emperor, who originally thought about picking it up high and putting it down gently, heard this and understood for the time being that the Queen Mother wanted to pursue it to the end.

It's just that Concubine Li is in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is responsible for managing various affairs in the palace.

Even if the concubine did not necessarily do this, the emperor wanted to help cover it up.

The emperor turned to Qian Rongsheng and said, "This matter is of great concern. You must investigate it carefully."

When Qian Rongsheng heard this, he also understood what the emperor meant. He nodded and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. I will definitely help Mr. Li investigate the matter clearly."

The Queen Mother felt slightly reassured and said, "If such a big thing happens, I'd better call the imperial concubine over and ask."

But the emperor directly refused on behalf of Concubine Li, saying: "Concubine Li was infected with wind and cold two days ago and is now bedridden."

After hearing this, the Queen Mother frowned and asked, "Emperor, have you visited?"

The emperor said: "I went to see her. Her complexion was indeed bad. It was a hot day, but who would have thought that she would become so serious."

The Queen Mother shook her head and said: "Since she is sick, why do you still want to visit her? She is not afraid of getting over the illness. Her illness is weird again. Who knows how she got it? Emperor, you are the lord of all people. If you are sick, What to do if it falls?"

The emperor had not thought of this at first. Over the years, the imperial concubine had often asked for favors when she was sick. Occasionally she would have a headache or fever, so she would send someone to treat him.

When the relationship between husband and wife is very strong, the emperor will naturally not think about these things in detail. The Queen Mother did not manage the affairs of the harem very much before and did not know these details.

Now that the Queen Mother has pointed it out, the Emperor also feels that this is inappropriate. The older he gets, the more he fears death.

"Mother, your teaching is right. My son will remember it. Next time, I will send the imperial doctor there first. I will not go to visit until I am sure that the infection will not be passed on to others," the emperor said.

The Queen Mother nodded and asked: "Since I am too sick to get out of bed, who is handling the affairs in the palace now?"

The emperor looked to Qian Rongsheng to one side.

As the chief eunuch, Qian Rongsheng was not only the emperor's personal servant, but also the emperor's eyes and ears in the harem.

Qian Rongsheng bowed his body and replied: "The imperial concubine is still in charge of all matters in the palace."

When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but have a look of concern on his face.

The Queen Mother, on the other hand, immediately said: "The imperial concubine is sick and should be resting, so why do you have to take care of so many things? This is too hard! Emperor, the Ai family knows that the imperial concubine has always done her best in handling all matters in the palace these years, but you You can’t drive people to death.”

The Queen Mother's words sounded nice, but the old people who had been fighting in the palace for many years all understood that this was a power grab.

The emperor also agreed with the Queen Mother's words and said: "Mother, do you think that someone should be appointed to take charge of the palace affairs now?"

When the Queen Mother heard that the emperor said "taking charge on behalf of her", she understood that the imperial concubine was still in the center of the earth and could not easily shake her position in the emperor's heart.

"Emperor, please take care of it. There are many old people in the palace who are familiar with palace affairs. They must be able to take care of the harem well." The Queen Mother said.

When the emperor heard this, he suddenly felt guilty. There had been constant turmoil during this period. The imperial concubine, the manager of the harem, was actually to blame, but the queen mother did not explicitly blame her. "Mother, my son thinks Li Zhaoyi is good. She entered the palace early, and she is a relative of yours. She has been doing her job for so many years, so she must be able to take care of the palace affairs very well."

The imperial concubine was lying in bed, feeling confused and confused. She first received the bad news that the poisonous incense was discovered after only one day of smelling it, and then she received the power of taking charge of the affairs of the harem, which was handed over to Li Zhaoyi by the emperor.

Even the phoenix seal she had been keeping for her had been handed over to Li Zhaoyi.

"Who did this! Your Majesty is so good, why do you suddenly want to take away my power?" The imperial concubine forced herself to sit on the bed and asked the eldest maid.

The personal maid lowered her head and said cautiously: "Reporting to your Majesty, our people only found out that His Majesty gave this order in Shoukang Palace. Shoukang Palace is very tight and our people have not been able to get in. What happened inside?" , I don’t know either…”

"Queen Mother! It must be her! This old lady! As young as she is, she only wants to benefit her relatives!" the imperial concubine scolded fiercely.

When the eldest maid heard these words, her face was filled with panic: "My dear, the walls have ears..."

The imperial concubine is not usually so bad-tempered. She usually only does vicious things and never speaks so harshly.

The imperial concubine's face was full of anxiety at this time. Originally, she had enough time to slowly plan, whether it was the throne or the queen mother, she had already slowly laid out the plans. When the time came, she would become the final winner.

But from the moment Niu Niu appeared, from the moment she saw Niu Niu, she felt that things were completely out of control.

At this time, the mental torture and physical pain were intertwined, making the imperial concubine a little confused. She shouted: "She, it must be her! She is back again! It's not good for me when she comes! I want her to die." !”

The personal maid had no idea who Concubine Li was talking about, but the Concubine Li she had seen in the past had always looked like a strategist, and was rarely as crazy as she is now.

"My Lady, please calm down! She is not here. Whatever you want to do, just tell your slaves! The most important thing for you now is to take good care of your body!" the personal maid persuaded with all her heart.

Concubine Li turned to look at her, took a deep breath, and held her hand tightly, as if she wanted to crush her wrist.

"You're right... I want to take good care of myself... It doesn't matter if I seize the palace power... As long as I recover... I can still deal with them..."

Listening to these intermittent words, the personal maid hurriedly brought the prepared soup to her mouth.

While giving the medicine, she said casually: "You have been sick for two days. You drank this bitter medicine dregs several times, why are you not feeling better?"

She was complaining casually, but she didn't expect that Concubine Li actually listened. She pushed away the soup medicine that was fed to her mouth and asked, "Is there something wrong with this medicine? Has someone drugged me?"

Concubine Li had played tricks on other people's medicine. Now that she was using her own medicine to treat others, she couldn't help but suspect that others would do the same to her.

The personal maid was stunned when she heard this, and said: "Mother, there should be no problem. This soup and medicine are cooked by trustworthy people, and the doctor who prescribes the medicine is also one of ours."

Concubine Li shook her head and said: "Check, go and find out...I won't drink anymore..."

The personal maid heard what she said and didn't try to persuade her.

The **** in charge of Concubine Li's palace hurriedly walked in again at this time: "My Lady, something serious has happened. All the eunuchs in charge of the procurement and distribution of spices in the Ministry of Internal Affairs have been sent to the Criminal Punishment Department by Your Majesty."
