Chapter 569: Let Concubine Shu suspect Concubine Liang (90 votes plus more)

The most important thing is that from beginning to end, Concubine Liang's hands were always clean!

Concubine Liang looked in the direction where Xia was dragged away and sighed, with a bit of sympathy and pity in her eyes: "I didn't expect that the person who did the evil was actually her..."

"Fortunately, Eunuch Su from the Ministry of Punishment did not miss any clues, otherwise, Concubine Xian would have been wronged in this matter."

The smile on Shen Zhinian's face was impeccable: "Thank you for your concern, Concubine Liang."

"I believe that Your Majesty is very perceptive and will not allow anyone with ill intentions to wrongly accuse me."

Concubine Liang seemed not to have heard what she meant and smiled gently: "It's good that the truth is out!"

"There is something else going on in Changchun Palace, so I will not disturb Concubine Xian and Sister Xuepin from talking, and will leave first."

Concubine Xue bowed perfunctorily to her back and said, "Farewell, Madam Liangfei."

Changchun Palace.

After the emperor's decision spread, Wu Changzai also realized that she was just a toy in the eyes of the emperor. How could her words change the emperor's decree?

Therefore, Wu Changzai did not go to the Yangxin Palace to ask for an audience, but came to ask Liang Fei.

"… Lady Liangfei, Yaozu is the root of our Wu family. He has never suffered from hardship since he was a child. Ningguta is remote and cold. How can he endure it with his weak body?!"

"I beg you, please find a way to save Yaozu! Madam Liangfei..."

Ruoli looked at Wu Changzai and frowned, "Wu Changzai, you really don't know what's good for you."

"Given the mistakes made by Master Wu, he should be beaten to death like Xia Shucheng. Our queen has gone to great lengths to save his life. How can you continue to embarrass her?"

Concubine Liang shook her head at Ruoli: "Okay, Concubine Wu is too worried about Master Wu. Brothers have a deep affection for each other, so I understand. You should say less."

Ruoli reluctantly said "yes" and took a step back.

Concubine Liang personally stepped forward to help Wu Changzai up, took out a handkerchief to wipe the tears from her face, sighed, and said softly: "Sister Wu, I understand your feelings. But in this matter, I really tried my best."

"Don't worry, I will instruct the eunuchs who carry out the execution not to harm Master Wu. I will also send people to take care of his journey to Ningguta and will ensure that he arrives safely."

"As for other matters, I can't help you..."

"If one day, you become His Majesty's favorite concubine, perhaps Master Wu's fate will change for the better..."

No matter how sad or worried Wu Changzai was, she had to accept reality.

Ruoli was right. Many people in the palace saw Xia Shucheng being beaten to death. If it weren't for Concubine Liang's intervention, Yaozu would have suffered the same fate as him...

No matter what Concubine Liang's purpose was, it is an indisputable fact that she saved Yaozu's life.

Wu Changzai looked at Concubine Liang with a hint of gratitude in her eyes: "I understand. Thank you, Concubine Liang..."

Concubine Liang smiled and nodded: "I hope Sister Wu can think positively."

"Don't think too much. Go back and have a good rest. Once you have enough energy, go and sincerely apologize to His Majesty. Don't let His Majesty vent his anger on you because of Master Wu's matter."

"You can only save Master Wu in the future if you take care of yourself first!"

Wu Changzai took Concubine Liang's words to heart and said, "Thank you, Concubine Liang. I know what to do now."

"I will not disturb you, Your Majesty. I will take my leave now."

Ruoli looked at his back, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes.

What an idiot who helps others count money after being sold!

But this also proves from the side how smart the queen is!

Moreover, the queen is not only smart, but also kind. She is willing to help even a fool like Wu Changzai.

Ruoli had already begun to imagine happily that one day the queen would ascend the throne and she would become the head maid in Kunning Palace.

……

Zhongcui Palace.

Concubine Xue accompanied Shen Zhinian all the way back: "...I received the hairpin sent by Concubine Xian."

"It's just that I didn't play any role in this matter, so I really feel ashamed of it."

Shen Zhinian shook her head: "I know you never ask about these things, so how can you do anything for me under Concubine Liang's nose?"

"If you hadn't been watching this time, Concubine Liang might have taken the opportunity to create more evidence against me. Your supervision of her is the greatest help to me."

A trace of contemplation flashed across Xuepin's eyes: "Now it seems that this was done by Concubine Shu who instructed Xia to do it."

"Your Majesty dealt with Xia Shi with lightning speed because he didn't want to investigate further. He might have been trying to protect Concubine Shu."

"Shufei knows that what she did has been exposed. I'm afraid she will use more means to deal with you and the Fourth Prince."

Shen Zhinian didn't know what he was thinking. He was silent for a long time before asking, "...Do you think that Concubine Shu really did this?"

Xuepin did not answer directly, but said: "Shufei hates you to the core. Xia is hers, and Xia's uncle is an official in Liangyun Office. Shufei has the motive and ability to do this."

"The evidence found by the Ministry of Punishment also points to Concubine Shu."

"The most important thing is... His Majesty has made the final judgment."

Shen Zhinian understood what Concubine Xue meant.

Regardless of whether she was a concubine or not, the emperor did not want these troublesome things to disturb the harem during the New Year.

So he chose to keep quiet.

Anyone who investigates further would be ignorant of the overall situation and would not want everyone to have a peaceful year.

But... this was done by Concubine Shu, and Concubine Shu will not let Shen Zhinian go.

If it wasn't done by Concubine Shu, in Concubine Shu's opinion, it was Shen Zhinian who deliberately framed her, and she would never let Shen Zhinian go!

If Zhongcui Palace and Yongshou Palace fight each other, who will benefit in the end?

Although there is no evidence, from the perspective of interests, Shen Zhinian is more suspicious of Concubine Liang!

Shen Zhinian is not the type of person who would sit still and wait for death. No matter whether Concubine Liang is innocent or not, it is impossible for him to stay out of it!

After Concubine Xue left, she called Xiao Mingzi in: "...I remember that after more than a year of investigation, you have figured out which people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are loyal to Concubine Shu?"

Xiao Mingzi nodded and said, "Your Majesty, although the original chief steward Chen Yaming has been replaced, the Empress Shufei has been in charge of the harem for so long. It will not be accomplished overnight if the Empress Liangfei wants to have her own people completely replace the Empress Shufei."

"There are indeed some people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs who are secretly working for Concubine Shu."

Shen Zhinian nodded slightly and said to Xiao Zhouzi, "You and Xiao Mingzi cooperate. I need these people, but they can't serve for a short time due to various reasons."

The head of the Imperial Household Department, who was trained by Concubine Shu, was replaced by Concubine Liang. All the confidants in the Imperial Household Department had problems again.

So, who will Concubine Shu suspect?
