Rebirth of the Demon Queen

Chapter 265: Supporting evidence

Xie Xi looked at Lin Zisu, and saw Lin Zisu looking like he was about to say something but stopped, waved his hand and said, "I just took the imperial guards a few days ago, and I have no responsibilities now. Besides, I can't make the decision on this matter. You should ask your father for the imperial edict."

The imperial guard immediately responded, but he still protected Lin Zisu back to Changping Palace with Xie Xi.

After the group left, only the third prince Xie Hui was left on the long palace road.

Xie Hui did not care about the prince's dignity and hurriedly ran back to Changning Palace.

Concubine Zhang had just woken up and knew nothing about what was happening outside.

She was locked in Changning Palace these two days, and she was both shocked and scared. When she saw Xie Hui coming in, she was immediately overjoyed. She was about to say a few words to Xie Hui when she heard Xie Hui roar, "Mother, what do you want to do!"

Concubine Zhang was stunned. Her son has always been calm and has never been so rude since childhood.

Even a few days ago, when Xie Hui learned that the emperor had issued an imperial edict to establish a crown prince, he only smiled and didn't seem to care about it at all.

The emperor held a family dinner today and summoned several princes and princesses together. Logically speaking, it was not time to part.

Concubine Zhang Xian felt that Xie Hui had arrived at Changning Palace at this point, and it seemed that he was angry at the family banquet, so he remembered his mother.

"Hmph! Who else can I do?"

The body was still a little warm when it was discovered, and it was obviously just dead.

Xie Hui suddenly realized that this was unusual and asked Concubine Zhang Xian for a few more questions.

"Hui'er, you often tell your mother that those who accomplish great things will not be bound by temporary gains and losses. Now that the road is already done, don't take the teacher to heart. It's better to plan carefully and how to be safe and secure."

"I...I don't!"

This team of guards obviously had experience in searching. First, they took out several clothes of palace maids from the small pond in the backyard of Changning Palace, and found a body of a palace maid in a dry well in the grass.

"Hui'er, what did you say?"

This result was obviously beyond Xie Hui's expectations.

Concubine Zhang Xian first sent a palace maid to invite Lin Zisu, and then instigated the palace maid to do evil deeds against Lin Zisu. Later, when the deeds were exposed, he killed people to silence him, as if everything was natural.

Xie Hui was still frowning and contemplating, but after hearing Concubine Zhang Xian's words, he suddenly laughed.

Concubine Zhang was very quick and immediately sent someone to the emperor to report the news.

Concubine Zhang Xian asked suspiciously: "Although your father is kind, he knows everything in the palace. Once he starts to investigate, he will definitely find out the results before he will be willing to stop."

The emperor did not hesitate. Soon after, a father-in-law from the East Factory led a team of imperial guards into Changning Palace to search.

Xie Hui put away his anger and said in a deep thought: "If it weren't for the person sent by Mother's wife, then someone deliberately used the girl Lin Zisu to plot against us. Now the father has begun to guard against me. If something happens again, our mother and son will be doomed."

Xie Hui sneered and said, "Just vassal? With you as your mother, my son is afraid that he will die without a burial place before that day."

She pointed to Xie Hui's face and said tremblingly: "You are the son of your mother, not the bastard you brought! How could the mother harm you?"

"How much did you participate in the incident of her being kidnapped in Changning Palace?"

However, with the appearance of this palace maid, all the suspicions were pointed at Concubine Zhang Xian.

Concubine Zhang didn't know the reason, but Xie Hui said this and told her that she was really sad.

Concubine Zhang was still crying for Xie Hui's attitude just now. When she heard Xie Hui say seriously, she asked, "Then...who did this?"

Xie Hui was very satisfied with Concubine Zhang Xian's words and said, "Mother, only now is the solution, you must take the initiative to ask your father for the imperial edict and ask him to send someone to Changning Palace for searching."

Concubine Zhang didn't know about this, so she could only be stunned. After Xie Hui explained a few briefly, she understood the whole story.

When Concubine Zhang heard that it was Concubine Tang Zhuang who was interfering, she gritted her teeth and cursed: "This bitch, we mother and son are all in this way, and they are still so aggressive!"

Xie Hui rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Of course it's not that easy for my father. This is just the first step. You go and ask for an order first, and leave the rest to me."

He pulled over Concubine Zhang Xian's sleeve and said with a smile: "Mother, you don't have to worry too much. Do you think that position is a good position? Hehe, Xie Yao is not that piece of material. Let them be proud for a few years first. When the road gets narrower and narrower, they will know that not everyone can do that position."

The Dongchang took action, and naturally he acted decisively. The search resulted in less than half an hour.

"It was the child who blamed his mother for wrongly."

Concubine Zhang tentatively persuaded him.

Xie Hui let Concubine Zhang Xian scold Concubine Tang Zhuang a few words before saying, "Mother, I have scolded you too. We can't take the blame at the moment, we have to think of a countermeasure."

"Mother's mother has not seen the sun in the past few days, and she is already in chaos. Hui'er, what's your idea?"

Xie Hui originally wanted to take the initiative to explain and let the emperor find out so that he could clear away the suspicion of himself and his mother.

“It’s that easy?”

Xie Hui slapped the table beside him hatefully and said, "Who else in this palace, except for the bitch Concubine Tang Zhuang, will he target us mother and son?"

Xie Hui waved his sleeves in great anger, avoided Concubine Zhang Xian's fingers, and said, "You said, why are you messing with that crazy person in Xie Xi for nothing? Don't you know that Lin Zisu is the top of Xie Xi's heart. What do you mean by summoning her to Changning Palace?"

After identification, this palace maid was the palace maid from Changning Palace, and she was the palace maid who led Lin Zisu to Changning Palace just now.

Concubine Zhang Xian knew that her son had always been full of wisdom and thoughts. When she heard that he had taken over the matter, she felt relieved.

However, she believed that she was dismissed by Concubine Tang, and she was still a little angry. She said, "Hui'er, now Xie Yao has become the prince. Concubine Tang seems to be the queen. If you wait for you to be separated from the vassal king, wouldn't I be squeezed to death by their mother and son?"

Concubine Zhang was puzzled and didn't know why she provoked Xie Xi, saying, "Has Lin Zisu come to Changning Palace? Where is it now?"

In this way, not only did it not clear away the suspicion of Concubine Zhang, but it further proved that Concubine Zhang's attempt to cover up the truth.

Xie Hui was a little irritated. He was a person who wanted to plan big things and must not fight against such trivial matters.

Just when Xie Hui was still in a state of confusion, the news that a corpse of a palace maid appeared in Changning Palace had spread throughout the harem.

Lin Zisu and Xie Xi were together, and just returned to Changping Palace. When they heard the news, they couldn't help but say in surprise: "What? Is that aunt dead?"
