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

Chapter 59
The emperor said that the matter would be put on hold for the time being. How could Concubine Hua agree to it?

Although her son's death was caused by her killing Murong Jing, Concubine Hua believed that she was not at fault.

There has never been a fight between princes without death.

"Your Majesty, I sincerely request your Majesty to find out the cause of Heng'er's death."

Concubine Hua knelt on the ground.

"Cause of death? Are you still asking about the cause of death? Drowning, that's the cause of death!"

Murong Yuan roared sternly.

He stepped forward and slapped her, and with a snap, Concubine Hua was slapped hard.

Five finger prints suddenly appeared on his face.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing?"

The Queen Mother also roared angrily.

"What are you doing? I also want to ask my mother, what have you done?"

Murong Yuan also shouted at the Empress Dowager.

"What did the Aijia do? The Aijia didn't do anything! You wouldn't think..."

The Queen Mother seemed to understand a little bit.

"Is not it?"

Murong Yuan was determined to settle old scores.

"Your Majesty, Jing'er is the grandson of the Ai family. Do you think the Ai family will kill him? Is the Ai family really so heartless?"

The Queen Mother was so angry that her lungs were about to explode.

"It's really not you? Who is that? Who is that..."

Murong Yuan looked at Concubine Hua, his eyes flashing with cold light.

Concubine Hua was so frightened that she knew that once she admitted it, she would be dead.

"I would like to inform Your Majesty that this concubine has absolutely nothing to do with Jing'er's death. Please be clear to Your Majesty!"

Concubine Hua said loudly.

"It's not you?"

Murong Yuan stared into her eyes.

"I really didn't do it. I swear to God, if I kill Prince Jing, the sky will strike me with thunder! I will not die a happy death!"

Concubine Hua immediately swore a strong oath.

"It's really not you? Who would it be?"

Murong Yuan said to himself.

Both princes died of drowning. Did the murderers use the same method of committing the crime, or was Chen Lin retaliating in kind?
If it wasn't the Empress Dowager and Shangguan Yuehua who killed Murong Jing, then who was the murderer?

Who was the one who killed Murong Heng?

Murong Yuan's mind seemed to be amusing.

"Your Majesty, it is really not my concubine who did this. I was with your Majesty the night Jing'er was killed! Have you forgotten?"

Concubine Hua cried out again.

Murong Yuan frowned slightly, as if he remembered that Murong Jing stayed overnight in Huaqing Palace on the night of his murder.

"Since it was not my concubine's fault, I will not pursue what happened last time. However, Heng'er's death must be investigated to the end!"

Murong Yuan looked at Eunuch Yan, his face uncertain.

"Reporting to your Majesty, the fifth prince was indeed killed. If the killer can avoid two seventh-grade masters, he will at least be a top master of the eighth and ninth grades."

"There should be only a handful of masters in Yandi City who can reach the eighth or ninth level of martial arts. As long as we find out the whereabouts of those people last night, we should have clues."

Eunuch Yan explained.

"Leave this matter to you. I will ask the Yanwu secret guards to cooperate with your actions. Once there is news, I will be notified as soon as possible."

Murong Yuan said in a deep voice.

Eunuch Yan was ordered to leave.

Murong Yuan left Huaqing Palace without looking back and left with Eunuch Hai and Lu Hao.

In the Huaqing Palace, the Empress Dowager and Concubine Hua secretly said that they had gotten through this test by luck, but they understood something at the same time. "Heng'er died so miserably! Please let the Queen Mother make the decision for Yuehua!"

Shangguan Yuehua hugged the Queen Mother and burst into tears.

"Yuehua, Heng'er is the grandson of the Ai family. The Ai family will never let go of that old man Chen Lin!"

The Queen Mother said coldly.

"Empress Dowager, was it really Chen Lin who did this?"

Shangguan Yuehua was also a little unsure.

"No need to guess, he must have done it. Even if he didn't do it, he was still the mastermind behind it."

The Empress Dowager was certain that it was Chen Lin who did it.

"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo,..., the Queen Mother, you wanna avenge Heng'er!"

Shangguan Yuehua cried again.

"Why are you crying? When you killed Jing'er, you never thought about today."

The Queen Mother was also very angry.

If it weren't for her most distressed niece, she would really want to slap this idiot to death.

In the fight for the throne of the prince, with the support of the empress dowager, why should he resort to death?

Concubine Hua did not dare to talk to her, she was crying and looked heartbroken.

"Okay! Okay! Don't cry! The plan for now is to rescue your second uncle, notify your father to enter the palace, and go to Cining Palace at night...Forget it, let's change places, there is no one safe in the palace place."

The Queen Mother said in a deep voice.

The second uncle she was talking about was Shangguan Cheng. Because Murong Heng was killed, he was now imprisoned by the emperor and had to be rescued first.

"Auntie, there is a safe family compound behind the palace that is very secret. Otherwise, we go there to meet father."

Concubine Hua changed her name to aunt, which suddenly showed the cordiality of the family.

The Empress Dowager nodded slightly and said thoughtfully: "Let your brother and the two brothers from the second uncle's family come together."

"Ok."

Concubine Hua responded.

Concubine Hua's brother Shangguan Lin and Shangguan Cheng's two sons both serve in the army. Shangguan Lin in particular is one of the eight commanders of the Guards and has [-] troops in his hands.

As for Shangguan Cheng's two sons, they are also generals in the army and have many soldiers under their command.

The Empress Dowager also controls two of the six major departments of the court, and also has a say in the court.

All in all, the Shangguan family is also very powerful.

Although Chen Lin had great military exploits and had a large number of troops, he only had high prestige in the army. Therefore, the Shangguan family was not afraid of the Chen family.

To be honest, the Empress Dowager is probably the only person in the court and the military who can compete with the Chen family.

After all, the Empress Dowager was the No. 1 person in promoting the coup, and she didn't know what hidden cards she had in her hands.

Even Murong Yuan was extremely wary of this mother, otherwise he would not have asked for her consent if he wanted to take back the post of commander of the Imperial Guard.

When the two giants go to war, Yandi City is destined to be a bloody storm.

Murong Yuan did not know what the Empress Dowager was thinking, and was now immersed in the grief of his son's murder.

Although he somewhat believed in Concubine Hua, the more he thought about it, the more something was wrong. He always felt that this was Chen Lin's revenge.

Of course, if it was confirmed that Chen Lin killed Murong Heng, he would never let the generalissimo go.

Therefore, he asked Eunuch Yan to send people to monitor the marshal's residence and collect suspicious evidence.

Just after returning to Qianyuan Palace, Concubine Li came with her son Murong Xian.

When Murong Yuan saw his son Murong Xian, he couldn't put it down and held him in his arms, which gave him some comfort in the pain of losing his son.

Perhaps she wanted to comfort Murong Yuan, but Concubine Li had to stay and serve the emperor.

Murong Yuan couldn't refuse at all, so he had to let Lu use the ecstasy powder.

Concubine Li felt dizzy and was carried into the inner room by Lu Hao.

In the inner room, the gauze curtains, thin skirts and crisp clothes, the looming concave and convex figure, and the proud majestic majesty made Lu Hao suddenly energetic.

Concubine Li was the plumpest and tallest among the concubines, and also the most charming.
