Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 21 Talent for Governing the Country
Suddenly, the palace was in complete chaos.

Murong Yuan was sitting in the imperial study room, and all kinds of news came in.

Even Shangguan Cheng, who was about to retire and return home, also came.

After all, he was Murong Yuan's uncle and Murong Jing's uncle.

Break the bones and connect the tendons!
Murong Yuan believed that he would not kill Murong Jing.

In the end, even the old immortal Queen Mother was alarmed.

This wife was not cold-blooded. She hugged her grandson and cried loudly. She was so angry that she fainted.

Subsequently, the concubines, eunuchs, and maids of each palace were also summoned one by one for trial.

The main purpose is to investigate last night's movements. Once there are no specific witnesses, they will be singled out as the first suspect to be screened.

Of course, as noble concubines, their status is second only to the queen, and they are not something that ordinary people can judge.

Among them, the eldest prince Murong Xian's mother-in-law Yuwen Qingli, also known as Concubine Li, was the daughter of Yu Wenji, Minister of War.

The second prince Murong Yao's mother-concubine Dugu Yi, also known as Concubine Yi, was Dugu's brave only daughter.

The mother of the fifth prince Murong Heng, Shangguan Yuehua, also known as Concubine Hua, is the niece of the Empress Dowager.

The three noble concubines themselves have powerful families, not to mention the powerful forces behind them.

If there is no real evidence, it will definitely cause shock in the court.

The atmosphere in the imperial study room seemed extremely solemn and depressing.

Murong Yuan's face was dark, his eyes were about to burst into flames, and his clenched fist seemed ready to be smashed out at any moment.

How could he not know that the mothers and concubines of the three princes were the most suspicious.

In the interrogation room in the distance, bursts of screams could be faintly heard, and it was obvious that torture was being conducted to extract confessions.

For two full hours, no useful information was obtained.

In the end, His Majesty the Emperor went crazy!
"Show off at Licui Palace!"

Murong Yuan said a few words coldly.

In the end, he decided to explore the background of the three noble concubines.

Among the three concubines, the one with the least suspicion is Concubine Hua who served last night. Of course, her suspicion cannot be completely ruled out.

A huge crowd of people surrounded Murong Yuan and rushed to Li Cui Palace where Concubine Li was.

"The Emperor is here!"

Eunuch Hai shouted at the top of his lungs.

Murong Yuan didn't even wait for Concubine Li to come out to pick her up, and couldn't wait to rush into the door.

"Chen and concubine see the emperor!"

Concubine Li fell to her knees.

"My son sees my father!"

Behind Concubine Li, her son Murong Xian knelt down at the same time.

Murong Yuan, who was originally full of anger, looked at his eldest son kneeling on the ground, and his anger suddenly became much smoother.

An 11-year-old child is not a harmful person at all. Even if it is done by the person behind him, it has nothing to do with him.

However, Concubine Li is a noble lady and well-educated, so she should not be able to do such a crazy thing.

Logically speaking, Concubine Li must have been frightened after the concubines were controlled.

However, the current Concubine Li did not show any panic in her every move. She looked steady, generous, gentle and virtuous.

"My beloved, do you know about Jing'er?"

Murong Yuan asked coldly.

"I know that I, Your Majesty, can rest assured that I will definitely take good care of Xian'er and avoid any unexpected events!"

Concubine Li was calm and composed.

Murong Yuan's eyes were locked on her, as if he wanted to see something from him. "I know that Jing'er was killed, and we noble concubines are definitely the most suspects. However, Xian'er is better than Jing'er, and I'm not worried that Jing'er will outshine Xian'er."

"Even if the emperor doesn't make Xian'er the crown prince, it won't be Jing'er's turn, and the child's mother... Oh! How pitiful!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Qingli swears here that if I am the concubine who harms Jing'er, I will be struck by lightning! I will not die a good death!"

Concubine Li spoke eloquently.

sincere!Be honest!
It doesn’t feel like you’re lying!

On the contrary, Murong Yuan felt a little guilty and said in a gentle tone: "I have no intention of holding anyone accountable."

"Your Majesty, you also know that Xian'er's literary talent in poetry and calligraphy is the most outstanding among the several princes. He can already speak volumes at a young age. In the future, he will definitely be a talent in governing the country and a pillar of the country."

"Now that Jing'er has been killed, I have the courage to say that the crown prince should be appointed as soon as possible to avoid another tragedy!"

Concubine Li really meant what she said.

Although it was said out of selfishness, it was spoken from the bottom of my heart.

Originally, it was because of his position as the crown prince that he brought murderous disaster to Murong Jing.

When Concubine Li mentioned it again, Murong Yuan's face suddenly darkened and he was about to have a seizure.

However, when I thought about it again, it was not my own indecisiveness that led to the tragedy.

"The position of prince should be occupied by a virtuous man. The princes are still too young and their moral character needs to be examined. You only need to educate the virtuous sons well and must not interfere in the government affairs!"

Murong Yuan warned.

"The emperor's lesson is that I understand!"

Concubine Li is also a general person.

Next, Murong Yuan inspected Murong Xian's homework.

What people didn't expect was that this virtuous prince was indeed good at everything from poetry and literary talent to military strategy.

There are many insights that even adults can’t comprehend.

Murong Yuan was very satisfied with this and rewarded Prince Xian on the spot.

Seeing that it was getting late, Concubine Li ordered someone to prepare dinner.

Murong Yuan, who was about to leave, rolled his eyes, waved Lu Hao over, and explained in a low voice.

It turned out that Murong Yuan wanted him to use ecstasy powder to deal with Concubine Li to see if this woman would harm Murong Jing.

To be honest, ecstasy powder can make people delirious. If it was really Concubine Li who did it, she might be able to figure out the real situation.

Although Murong Xian is 11 years old, Concubine Li is only 28 years old this year.

In other words, Concubine Li gave birth to Murong Xian when she was 17 years old.

However, as a royal concubine, she has all kinds of cosmetics and supplements, and she really takes good care of herself.

Her skin is supple and fair, her face is pretty, and she has a pair of charming big eyes that seem to have endless sweet words to say.

The convex and convex delicate body covered by the gauze is really convex at the front and at the back, showing the charm of a mature woman without losing the innocence of a girl.

Lu Hao, who was waiting on the side, swallowed his saliva and couldn't wait to put the ecstasy powder into her cup.

It was just a bit of ecstasy powder on the nail shell, colorless and odorless, and was swallowed by Concubine Li.

On the other side, perhaps because of the death of his son, Murong Yuan was in a bad mood. He drank one cup after another and felt a little drifting off.

Eunuch Hai helped Murong Yuan into the inner room next door.

Lu Hao sat down instead of the emperor. Concubine Li, who was lying on the table, shook her head and tried to raise her head. Her eyes had already become blurred.

The medicine has worked!
"Your Majesty, I'll give you another drink!"

Concubine Li picked up the wine glass again.

"My beloved concubine, I ask you, did you send anyone to harm Jing'er?"

Lu Hao pretended to be Murong Yuan's voice and asked coldly.
