Save the Bachelor of Heaven

Hearing what Xiang Nan said, Qingying finally couldn't control her emotions. She immediately stood up and prostrated on the ground, "Your Majesty, if I can't greet you every day in the future, I will always pray for the Emperor's health and everything goes well."

"Why are you saying such unlucky things all of a sudden?" Xiang Nan quickly pulled her up from the ground, held her in his arms and said, "How could you and I be separated? We still have to live a good life together."

Qingying also took this moment to shed tears.

…

In the evening, Xiang Nan was meeting with Qin Li, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"Your Majesty, once the funeral ceremony of Emperor Daxing is over, the Queen Mother will move to Cining Palace, and the concubines will move to Shoukang Palace. The six east and west palaces will be immediately cleared out for the concubines to live in," Qin Lihui reported.

Before Xiang Nan could speak, the eunuch Wang Qin came in and reported, "Your Majesty, Jingren Palace has passed away."

"What?" Xiang Nan looked shocked, "How did you die?"

"The reward is to die violently in anger." Wang Qin whispered back.

Xiang Nan frowned, "Did he really die suddenly?"

"Master Qing watched Jingren Palace pass away with his own eyes." Wang Qin whispered.

"..." Xiang Nan stared at him without speaking.

Wang Qin had no choice but to report again, "It was poison."

"Where did the poison come from?" Xiang Nan asked again.

"The Queen Mother went to Jingren Palace before." Wang Qin had to say again.

Xiang Nan pondered for a moment and said, "Send someone to take care of the funeral affairs of Jingren Palace. Don't make a big deal about it. It's too late tonight. Let Master Qing come to see me tomorrow."

"Hey." Wang Qin stepped back and said.

Xiang Nan then looked at Qin Li and said, "Publish my decree and refine the Cining Palace for the Queen Mother to take care of herself in her old age."

"Since we have to cultivate intensively, Cining Palace will be uninhabitable for a while, so the Queen Mother..." Qin Li asked quickly.

"The Queen Mother can temporarily stay in Shoukang Palace." Xiang Nan added.

"Shukang Palace is the residence of concubines, isn't it a little too narrow..." Qin Li questioned.

When Xiang Nan heard this, he immediately glanced at him.

Qin Li was startled and quickly changed his words, "The Emperor is filial to the Queen Mother, so I will take care of it immediately."

…

The next day, Zhen Huan came to inquire about Xiang Nan's story early in the morning.

"Jingren Palace passed away, does the emperor know about it?" Zhen Huan asked tentatively.

"I understand. Qingying sent someone to report back to me. Jingren Palace died violently in anger." Xiang Nan nodded.

"Young died suddenly?! How can you die suddenly and not commit suicide?" Zhen Huan tried again.

In the palace, the concubines, maids, and eunuchs all belong to the emperor. If the emperor wants his subjects to die, they will have to die. To put it another way, if you don’t want your subject to die, you can’t kill yourself. Therefore, committing suicide in the palace is disrespectful and will be punished by the whole family.

Not only did Zhen Huan force Jingren Palace to death with poison, but she was also charged with committing suicide, which was obviously an attempt to eradicate the problem.

"Qingying is Jingren Palace's biological niece, so I can't go wrong." Xiang Nan explained.

"Then how does the emperor plan to deal with Jingren Palace's death?" Zhen Huan continued to explore.

"Although Jingren Palace has no honorific title, the late emperor was not dethroned after all. Jingren Palace was so angry that he died violently due to the death of the late emperor. I want to bury him as a queen," Xiang Nan said immediately.

When Zhen Huan heard this, her face suddenly fell, "Since she has no title, it is not appropriate to be buried with the rites of a queen, let alone buried with the late emperor. This is what the late emperor said, 'life and death will never meet again.'"

Before Xiang Nan could reply, at this moment, the eunuch reported, "Sir Zhang Tingyu has arrived."

Immediately, Zhang Tingyu walked in and knelt on the ground, "To inform the emperor, I heard that Jingren Palace died suddenly and collapsed, so I came here to see the emperor."

"Are the ministers from the previous dynasty also going to interfere in the affairs of the harem?" Zhen Huan said displeased upon hearing this.

She is the lord of the Sixth Palace, in charge of the harem, and when it is the turn of the former ministers to comment.

"To report to the Queen Mother, foreign ministers should not interfere in the affairs of the harem. However, whether Jingren Palace is honored or not has attracted the attention of the government and the public, and it is a state matter." Zhang Tingyu said eloquently, "Since it is a state matter, I cannot help but ask. "

"The matter of honoring the title has been settled. Jingren Palace died suddenly, and the matter is over." Zhen Huan said coldly.

"Jingren Palace died suddenly just after the issue of honoring the title came out. Your Majesty, the twists and turns in it are fascinating, so I thought it would be better to investigate in detail." Zhang Tingyu insisted.

"When an emperor dies, there will always be someone in the harem who dies sadly. Is there anything to investigate in detail?" Zhen Huan couldn't help but frowned when she saw him persisting.

"But the person who died this time was, after all, the former empress of the Qing Dynasty. Although the late emperor and Jingren Palace were not on good terms, and although the late emperor had decreed that they would never see each other again, even if they lost their position, Jingren Palace should not be unaware of it. He died suddenly for no reason." Zhang Tingyu continued.

He has always regarded his ancestors' etiquette as bigger than the sky. Moreover, he, a veteran of three dynasties and a minister who cares about life, is not afraid of Zhen Huan. It doesn't even matter if Zhen Huan kills him, because he speaks upright and makes impartial judgments.

Even if he dies, he will be remembered in the history books. As a civil servant, Yan Guo left his name, which was the greatest compliment to him.

"What does it mean to be unclear? Does Mr. Zhang's words refer to what the Ai family did?" Zhen Huan said angrily. She knew that this old guy was difficult to deal with, but she didn't expect that he would be so difficult to deal with.

"The emperor has just ascended the throne, and a matter of life and death has arisen in the harem. Moreover, the deceased and the Queen Mother have always been at odds, so the outside world is bound to talk about it." Zhang Tingyu argued, "I propose a detailed investigation because I want to clear the Queen Mother's name."

Zhen Huan was speechless for a moment, but she would never allow Zhang Tingyu to investigate in detail. Otherwise, her poisoning of Jingren Palace would not be concealed.

When the time comes, even if she is the Queen Mother, she will be criticized by thousands of people and will be in a state of embarrassment. After all, poisoning the queen of a country is not a joke, it will become a huge royal scandal.

…

At this moment, I heard Qingying shouting from outside the house, "My concubine, Ulanara, wants to see the emperor."

Zhang Tingyu, who was talking endlessly just now, suddenly stopped talking.

The Uranala clan is the queen's own clan. Now that she is here, there is no need for him to step forward.

Zhen Huan was also stunned, with a nervous look on her face.

She was also afraid that Qingying would advocate a detailed investigation, but when the time came, she would no longer be able to stop him.

"Come in." Xiang Nan said.

Qingying walked in immediately, "Concubine, please greet the Queen Mother and the Emperor!"

"Get up." Xiang Nan said.

"My Majesty, Zhang Tingyu, wishes to express my condolences to Your Majesty!" Zhang Tingyu said, "My Majesty, I am discussing with the Emperor the sudden death of Jingren Palace. Your Majesty is a close relative of Jingren Palace, please be sure to seek justice for her."

Hearing what he said, Zhen Huan's face became more solemn.

If Qingying really retorted and said that Jingren Palace was murdered by poison, then she would be in big trouble.

"Master Zhang, I am deeply saddened by the death of my aunt. But where did Master Zhang mention the word 'justice'?" Qingying said, "My aunt is banned from Jingren Palace. She is filled with grief and anger. She has been ill for many years because of the late emperor. When she passed away, my aunt was overly worried and died suddenly. At that time, I was waiting in front of the bed and watched my aunt drive to the west with my own eyes."
