Mammy Yu saw that her master had a bad look on her face, and said as she walked: "Madam, don't worry, the man has been rescued. The lucky man has his own destiny, and nothing will happen to him."
Yun Zhao has not encountered such a situation for many years.
She was really not used to this situation happening to Meng Buding.
An Shutong is the niece of the Queen Mother, so the Queen Mother will definitely use the topic to her advantage, and she will not be able to calm down tonight.
As soon as Xiangxue left, Shizhu chased after her. It would be impossible for the master to have only Aunt Yu by his side.
When Yun Zhao saw her catching up, he immediately said: "Take the token and lead others to Baihua Pavilion first, and you and Zhang Mao will keep an eye on Baihua Pavilion for me."
"Yes, slave, let's go now." Shizhu quickened his pace and disappeared into the night.
Song Yunzhao's face looked really bad. It would be best if An Shutong fell into the water as an accident. If not, it would be a big hassle.
It was the first time that Mammy Yu saw the imperial concubine’s face looking so ugly. A storm was about to come, so she followed closely beside her, not daring to say a word.
The distance from Huacalyx Tower to Baihuaxuan was not very close. Yun Zhao walked there step by step. When he was halfway there, he was chased by a sedan chair. Yun Zhao got on the sedan chair, and four young eunuchs carried her and walked quickly.
After passing the Jinming Gate, not far away was the Yixin Palace where the Queen Mother lived. Yun Zhao skipped past and went directly to Baihua Pavilion.
Going around the corner of Yixin Hall, you can see a servant guarding the entrance of Baihuaxuan from a distance. The sedan stopped in front of the door and Yun Zhao got off the sedan.
“This slave has seen the imperial concubine.”
Yun Zhao held Mammy Yu's hand and strode forward. When she entered the courtyard, she saw a half-person-high flower wall in the middle, separating the east and west sides. At this time, Zhao Ling'e was standing on the west side with someone and saw her coming in. Then he came forward to greet him.
Yun Zhao ignored her and walked past her to the east.
Zhang Maoquan came out quickly and said, "Mother, An Bin hasn't woken up yet. The imperial doctor said that she choked on a lot of water. Fortunately, the patrolling chamberlain found it early. Although the water was spit out, the situation is not very good. If she doesn't wake up tonight, Come, I’m afraid it won’t be good.”
Song Yunzhao paused slightly, then stepped up the steps and entered the house.
Mother Yao next to the Queen Mother was busy outside. When she saw the imperial concubine, she immediately came up to greet her and said, "I have seen the imperial concubine."
Yun Zhao nodded slightly and said, "Mama Yao is here too. It's really hard work."
Mama Yao always felt that there was some irony in the concubine's words, but when she looked up at the concubine's solemn face, she felt that she was overthinking, "The Queen Mother is guarding Concubine An in the bedroom."
Yun Zhao nodded slightly, and Grandma Yao stepped forward to open the curtain herself.
Yun Zhao stepped in and walked around a two-leaf flower and bird screen with a mahogany base. The queen mother was sitting on the edge of the bed, and the imperial doctor was kneeling in the room. The strong smell of medicine hit his face.
"I have met the Queen Mother." Yun Zhao stepped forward to greet her.
The Queen Mother looked up at the concubine with a dark face and said angrily: "Concubine, do you know your guilt?"
Yun Zhao sneered unceremoniously, "What crime do I have to do, my concubine?"
"As the head of the Sixth Palace, are you not guilty of such a thing?" The Queen Mother frowned coldly.
Yun Zhao's eyes looked directly at the Queen Mother, "What the Queen Mother said is really funny. Could it be that I asked An Concubine to stay up late at night and hang out by the lake? The Queen Mother is not going to find out the truth about An Concubine falling into the water, but she wants to take advantage of this. I wonder what the Empress Dowager’s intentions are for slandering my concubines? Or does this matter have something to do with the Empress Dowager?”
“How dare you! An Bin is the niece of the Ai family!” The Queen Mother was so angry that she was shaking all over.
Who doesn’t know how to be yin and yang? The Queen Mother was so angry that Song Yunzhao almost couldn't breathe. The hand pointing at her kept shaking.
Yun Zhao looked at the imperial doctor and said, "Physician Jiang, how is An Bin's condition now?"
Dr. Jiang bowed his head and replied, "In reply to your Majesty, there is a scratch on the back of An Bin's hand. It should have been scratched by a cat. However, the injury on the back of the hand is not serious. Wei Chen has already taken the ointment and asked the palace maid to apply it on An Bin. In addition to In addition, An Bin's face is bruised and swollen, her eyes are slightly protruding, and her breathing is weak, which shows that she has been drowning for a long time, and Wei Chen has already taken medicine. If An Bin cannot wake up tonight, it will be very bad."
Yun Zhao's heart sank, "Where is the maid who fell into the water with An Bin?"
“The palace maid suffered a blow to the back of her head, which was probably caused by being beaten with a hard object. She was unable to save herself after entering the water, and she drowned.”
After hearing this, Yun Zhao's expression changed instantly.
“Zhang Maoquan!”
“My servant is here.” Zhang Maoquan immediately came in and knelt down to reply.
“Have you found any clues?”
"Replying to my wife, the injury on the back of Master An's hand was caused by a cat. It should be that the cat sneaked up on An, causing An to be frightened and fall into the water. Then Mu Qing was hit on the back of the head by someone, fell into unconsciousness and drowned. This is the preliminary result, slave. People have been asked to continue the investigation, and the palace servant who was on duty by the lake tonight has been taken away for questioning, but the results have not yet come out."
Yunzhao squeezed the handkerchief tightly. This was a premeditated murder!
An Shutong, who is in the eyes? He wants her life!
"Your Majesty, the Ai family cannot trust you. If you are taken away by your people for investigation, who knows what will be found." The Queen Mother looked at Song Yunzhao and said.
Song Yunzhao knew that the Queen Mother would not miss this opportunity to target her. She suddenly smiled, "Since the Queen Mother is not willing, then I don't need to worry about it. Anyway, it is not my niece who is dying, and it is not mine who is being murdered. My relatives and the Queen Mother are not in a hurry, so why should I be in a hurry?"
"Zhang Maoquan, pull the people back." Song Yunzhao saw the Queen Mother's confused look and smiled more and more calmly, "As the Queen Mother wishes, I only hope that the Queen Mother can catch the mastermind behind the scenes and give an explanation to Concubine An."
The Queen Mother just couldn't see Song Yunzhao's arrogance, so she stabbed her with words, but she didn't know that she would really give up.
This time, the Queen Mother was captured!
However, the Queen Mother will never show weakness to the imperial concubine again and ask her to reveal the matter.
As a result, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became stagnant.
At this moment, the third concubine arrived.
The three of them already knew what happened on the way, and their faces were very ugly at the moment.
As soon as the third concubine arrived, the Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief and immediately handed the matter over to Concubine Shu to investigate.
Shu Fei:…
Before she could stand upright or even catch her breath, she was hit on the head with a big pot!
As Concubine An was lying on the bed, she looked like she was just breathing heavily. Concubine Wan's mood became very bad.
She stood quietly aside, her eyes were dull and unfocused, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Concubine Zhuang glanced at the noble concubine, and Yun Zhao gave her a wink.
Concubine Zhuang nodded slightly, then looked at the Queen Mother and said: "Mother Queen Mother, this matter is very bad. I'm afraid that the purpose of attacking Concubine An before the palace banquet is not pure."
The Queen Mother listened to Concubine Zhuang and looked at her, "What do you mean by this? Could it be that it is also aimed at the palace banquet tomorrow?"
