As soon as Concubine Qi was taken away, the imperial doctor Qi immediately collapsed and couldn’t help but kneel down. “Concubine Hui is wise to observe. Concubine Qi’s affairs have nothing to do with the Qi Mansion.”
Concubine Hui glanced at him lightly, “Is it related? Let’s talk about it when I find out! Before I find out, I will first complain to Lord Qi.”
After saying that, he turned around and ordered, “Please invite Lord Qi to my bedroom for tea.”
After giving this order, he pointed to a concubine and said, “It’s more than an hour before the crown prince ascends the throne to worship us. You will immediately take someone to search Concubine Qi’s bedroom. No matter who it is, I will definitely punish you severely.”
The concubine who was pointed at by Concubine Hui immediately received the order, “I’ll go now.”
As soon as she left, Concubine Hui ordered another concubine, “You personally send Concubine Qi’s personal palace maid to the Shenxing Department to the Shenxing Department, and stare at the people in the Shenxing Department to use torture. There is only one hour, so you don’t have to worry about those torture instruments, and see what useful things can be spit out.”
At this time, no matter who can be assigned to the task by Concubine Hui, there will be a great sense of glory in your heart. How could you not do your best?
The two concubines each took their own people and began to act boldly.
As for those who have not been assigned tasks, they couldn’t help but whisper in the Liuying Pavilion.
After using the torture instruments of the Jingshi Liushui, no matter how loyal the person is, he is a little unbearable. In less than a quarter of an hour, the concubine who was responsible for interrogating Concubine Qi’s personal maid turned back, holding the crime in her hand, and said indignantly: “Empress, Concubine Qi really knows people but not people. Over the years, I have always thought she was a loyal person, but I didn’t expect that she was such a person!”
After holding a stack of confessions, Concubine Hui swept a few pages with a cold face.
What is recorded is that except for the incident of Concubine Qi’s coercion and conspiracy with Concubine Xin to make Luo Qian seduce Xiao Yu, almost all the filthy incidents of Concubine Qi secretly summoning a young man to the palace to serve her bed in the past few years.
After a few glances, Concubine Hui couldn’t stand it. She clapped the table in her hand and passed the confession to the concubines below, “Look at it!”
Several concubines took the confession, and each of them was furious!
Concubine Qi’s crime is unforgivable, but the concubines couldn’t help but guess whether the Qi family would be implicated.
Concubine Qi’s father was the Minister of Dali Temple. He had a high power and high position. The Fourth Prince ascended the throne. It was the time when he relied on these old ministers in the court.
If the methods are fierce at this time, the Fourth Prince would hurt himself.
But if the punishment is lighter, I am afraid that people will feel that the Fourth Highness has failed.
The timing of this incident was too subtle…
The concubines couldn’t help but feel different and looked at Concubine Hui.past.
Concubine Hui had a expressionless face, and she only lowered her head to fiddle with the jade bracelet on her wrist, with a gloomy expression, making people unable to see what she was thinking.
Several concubines whispered, “You said that the maid in front of Concubine Qi is also strange. Since you have caused everything, why don’t you say that? Who was Concubine Qi having an affair with after more than a month ago? She was pregnant with that evil!”
Someone snorted coldly, “Don’t you dare to let someone know about this during the national funeral? I’m afraid that even her close maid doesn’t know!”
“No, this kind of thing is hard to hide!”
“What’s the difficulty? She has hidden it all over the years, which shows that she is good at this matter! It’s really disgusting!”
…
Listening to everyone’s discussion, Concubine Hui turned her bracelet’s hand and exerted a little force.
Unexpectedly, the maid recruited everyone but failed to recruit the most critical person.
Could it be that she thought Xiao Yi could still give her the chance to live?
It’s ridiculous!
After about half an hour, the concubine who was sent to search for Concubine Qi’s bedroom came back with a green face.
Everyone immediately stopped talking and looked at her.
“Empress, you can’t even imagine who I saw in Concubine Qi’s palace! Fortunately, I brought two imperial guards with me to prevent it. Otherwise, I would have been desperate to come back!”
