The Empress Behind the Veil
Chapter 975
“Yangui, did you find any weirdness?” Ye Wushuang asked with a wary expression.
Oi! I am an article!
Yangui shook his head and said: “The emperor has already sent people to investigate, it is certain that it is indeed suicide. But according to the Eunuchs in the Palace, yesterday afternoon Consort Chang received a letter from her family in the Cold Palace, then Consort Chang acted a little out of control, in the middle of the night when the maids were retreating, Concubine Chang then bit her own tongue.”
“Letter? Did you find the letter?”
Oi! I am an article!
“No, it seems to have been burned by Consort Chang.”
“There must be a problem with the letter.”
“Yes, the Emperor also guessed like that, therefore he searched for someone from Consort Chang's family and interrogated him. Consort Chang's family said that it was just a letter to ask the news as usual, just asking Consort Chang to keep herself in the Palace, besides that there was nothing else.”
“If it's true like that then he can't possibly die.”
Oi! I am an article!
“Concubine Ye..”
Ye Wushuang's eyes darkened, she said with a little certainty: “There are people who have changed the letter. The contents of the letter must have made Consort Chang have difficulties so he could kill himself.”
“Concubine Ye, who do you suspect?”
“His Majesty's Concubine Zhao!”
“How could he? Isn't Consort Chang the one?” Yangui's eyes widened in shock, his looks seeming disbelief.
“Don't forget about what we said before Consort Chang entered the Cold Palace. It seems that Consort Chang must have noticed it, it poses a threat to Consort Zhao, so Consort Zhao has no choice but to kill him.”
“This is his usual method.” Ye Wushuang frowned, answering while sighing softly. At the same time he also felt a little guilty for Consort Chang's death. Yes, if not for wanting Consort Chang to ponder the mistake so tell her all the truth, Consort Chang would not have tragically died at the hands of Zhao Xueyan either. It could be said that he was also an accomplice who harmed Consort Chang.
“Concubine Ye, what should we do now?”
“We can only see the situation change. Yangui, I have something to tell you.”
Yangui was a little surprised, seeing the seriousness of Ye Wushuang's face, Yangui raised his gaze and said: “Concubine Ye, what do you want to tell me?”
“I want you to hurry to tell Prince Ping, tell him that the Emperor has found out about his personal relationship with His Majesty Consort Zhao. Ask him to act carefully later on, after all Emperor Qi is not a generous person towards these things.”
Yangui was surprised, he said with great worry: “I mean Concubine Ye, the Emperor really already knew about the past between the Prince and His Highness Consort Zhao?”
“Ya.”
“If so what Prince is in danger?” Yangui looked panicked, anxious, and worried, as if Prince Ping's life was more important than his.
Ye Wushuang gently stroked the back of Yangui's hand and softly comforted: “No, at least the Emperor did nothing, just wanted Prince Ping to be more careful of course, he said, that way it will be better.”
After Yangui heard it, he immediately nodded and said: “Well, I'll go and tell Prince.” After he finished speaking, Yangui forgot to salute Ye Wushuang and rushed off to report.
Ye Wushuang looked at the figure of Yangui's departure, shook her head helplessly and sighed softly. Too callous would always be harmed by the heartless, what did Yangui know that falling in love with a man like Ji Xingfeng was equivalent to taking a path where it would not be able to come back again?
Ye Wushuang hoped that Yangui could understand her as quickly as possible and immediately turned around.
…
In the residence of the Glorious Concubine, Consort Zhen could be said to be crying hysterically in Zhao Xueyan's arms.
“Sister Cousin, why did Consort Chang die? Seeing her obscure death, I was really very scared, very scared.” In Zhihua Palace when Consort Zhen found her, Consort Chang's face was already as pale as paper, the corners of her lips were already filled with blood. His eyes were wide open as if his eyeballs could leap out at any moment. His look that did not close his eyes even when he died was already like a nightmare projected in his mind.
