Chapter 350 The Whole Clan Was Buried with Him

When Concubine Li heard this, she frowned and said, "Just go in, it's not a big deal. Can these people implicate me?"

Hearing what she said, the two confidants did not relax.

Because even if these eunuchs implicate Concubine Li, she would not be seriously injured due to the emperor's many years of favor, but they, the servants, could easily lose their lives.

Concubine Li kept urging the head maid to check the soup she was drinking. There was nothing wrong with the soup. The head maid took the imperial physician to check the medicine residue and the medicine pot for most of the day, and the little maids also checked for a long time, but no problems were found.

When she hurried to Concubine Li with the results of the investigation, Concubine Li still refused to believe it.

"Did the Liu also betray me? Go to the Imperial Hospital and find two more doctors!"

Hearing this, the personal maid said helplessly: "My lady, the whole family of Doctor Liu is under the control of my uncle, how dare he betray you? Your groundless suspicion may make him feel disappointed!"

Li Guifei was so sick that she was in a coma. She had done too many evil things and had played tricks on other people's prescriptions in the past. She was more afraid than anyone else that she would suffer the same means.

"It's just a doctor, who cares if he feels disappointed!" Li Guifei always insisted on her own way.

The personal maid looked helpless.

"You go find the doctor yourself, I don't trust others, at least find three people!" Li Guifei warned.

For her master's empty shooting, the personal maid had no way to deal with it, so she could only rush to the Imperial Hospital again.

But she hadn't walked a few steps outside when she ran into Li Shunfu and Qian Rongsheng walking towards this side with people.

"Miss Taozhi, please come with us." Li Shunfu said with a fake smile.

The head maid turned pale and said immediately: "Please forgive me, my two eunuchs, I am ordered by Concubine Li to go to the Imperial Hospital to do some work. I will go with you after I finish my work, okay?"

As old people in the palace, Li Shunfu and Qian Rongsheng naturally knew that this was a big deal with Concubine Li.

But neither of them cared about Concubine Li.

"Don't worry, if there is anything, wait until you come out of the Ministry of Punishment." Li Shunfu said sarcastically.

Qian Rongsheng also raised his hand and made a "please" gesture.

In fact, the two of them felt that they were lucky. Taozhi happened to be sent by Concubine Li to do something. Otherwise, if they went to the Concubine's palace to arrest someone, Concubine Li would deliberately stop them, and things would never be as smooth as they are now.

Taozhi wanted someone to pass a message to Concubine Li, but there was no one around.

Concubine Li has been running the palace for many years, but there are only two places where she cannot get involved, one is the imperial court, and the other is Shoukang Palace. Today, these two forces are trying to arrest Taozhi for questioning at the same time.

In Shoukang Palace, the Queen Mother said somewhat unhappily: "Emperor, since the eunuchs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have confessed that it was Taozhi who was in charge of Concubine Li, who did it, do you still need to ask who did it?"

The people of the Ministry of Internal Affairs entered the Ministry of Punishment, but in just half a day, the eunuch in charge of distributing spices implicated Taozhi, the senior maid in front of Concubine Li.

The emperor received the news, but felt that the whole process was too simple, and he was afraid that someone was slandering the concubine.

"The concubine has been in charge of the palace for so long, there is no reason for her to harm a mere beauty." The emperor couldn't understand why the concubine did this.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs would never dare to buy poisonous spices, and this poisonous incense only came from Yongfu Palace, and other palaces were all normal spices.

The only strange thing was that according to the eunuch in charge of distributing spices, when delivering spices to Yongfu Palace that day, he bumped into a maid with an unfamiliar face on the road, and it was suspected that the spices were swapped at that time.

Logically speaking, there were many maids in the palace, and it was difficult to find such an unfamiliar maid, but the eunuch in charge of distribution remembered the appearance and accent of the maid very clearly.

Listening to his description, the person in charge of the interrogation happened to be someone familiar with the maid, and listening to this description, it felt very much like his colleague when he served in the cold palace in the past.

The maid served in the cold palace on a daily basis, and rarely saw outsiders. But her colleague found a relationship to transfer her to the Ministry of Punishment, and the colleague who was eager to make merit dug her out of the cold palace.

The maid entered the Ministry of Punishment, and after several punishments, she confessed the peach branch next to the imperial concubine.

The emperor was puzzled, but the queen mother felt that the imperial concubine, who had gone around in two circles, was actually cautious enough.

"If it weren't for good luck this time, we might not be able to find Taozhi." said the Queen Mother.

When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but say: "Mother, don't you think everything seems too smooth?"

The Queen Mother said: "The person who can set up such a situation must have been operating in the palace for many years. She must not only understand the logic of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but also have enough hidden cards. There are actually not many people in the harem who can do such a thing."

"Now that it can be found out, it can only be said that it is God's will. If it is unlucky, I am afraid that even if the palace is turned upside down, the unfamiliar little maid can't be found, and the person behind the scenes can continue to hide."

When the emperor heard the Queen Mother attribute everything to luck, he couldn't help but say: "Mother, do you think the reason why it is so smooth is because of Niuniu? The person behind the scenes wanted to harm Concubine Luo and almost involved Niuniu. Niuniu is also the lucky doll of the capital, so the investigation is so smooth?"

The Queen Mother nodded.

In contrast, there are still not many clues about the Queen Mother's poisoning.

"Although the imperial concubine is jealous, she is not a cruel and vicious person. My son always feels that there may be other reasons. Maybe Taozhi was framed, or maybe she acted on her own initiative. The imperial concubine is not aware of it." The emperor said.

Although the emperor did not make the imperial concubine the queen, he actually gave her the authority of the queen. He also valued her very much in his heart. The emperor did not want to admit that the woman he had doted on for many years was such a vicious person.

The queen mother did not speak. Before everything was settled, she did not want to ruin the relationship between mother and son by rashly provoking.

Qian Rongsheng hurried in to report: "Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, Miss Taozhi insisted that no one was behind it, she just said that she couldn't stand the fact that Concubine Luo had taken the favor of the Imperial Concubine, so she wanted to teach Concubine Luo a lesson on behalf of the Imperial Concubine."

The Queen Mother said casually: "Your Majesty, look, she knew that she would be punished at most for murdering a concubine, so she was willing to take the blame for her master."

The palace rules were strict, Concubine Luo was fine, and if Taozhi confessed her guilt and Concubine Li pleaded for her, she would not be sentenced to death.

But the Queen Mother could not easily cover up this matter, and said to Qian Rongsheng: "Go and tell her that because she murdered the heir, I want her whole family to be buried with her."
