Zhou Xunchen can be regarded as a person who has been through the wind and waves and rolled on the tip of a knife, but after listening to Fang Shanggong's words, he still didn't say anything for a while.
Those were the once arrogant Queen Mother and Empress.
Zhou Xuchen remembered clearly that both Duke Chengen and Princess Mingshou were reluctant to investigate the cause of death of these two people.
Although the Queen Mother is old, she has always taken good care of herself and her body is not weak.
Not to mention the Queen, who is still very young, how could they both fall ill due to minor illnesses such as wind and cold?
It was not that there was no investigation at that time.
Even the imperial doctors responsible for the diagnosis and treatment of the Queen Mother and the Empress were implicated.
If the emperor had not spoken out later, I am afraid that the entire Imperial Hospital and most of the harem would have been affected.
Duke Ming Shougong was a fool.
In order to please her and show off their abilities, the people under her command blindly abused torture.
More than ten of the palace servants who had served the Queen Mother and Empress died from torture alone, and the rest just wanted to To die quickly, he followed the torturer's instructions and bit him randomly, and several concubines were also involved.
It's just that none of them suspected Concubine Shen at that time.
Concubine Shen has a habit of being docile and cowardly, and she is a domestic servant of Duke Cheng'en.
Everyone knows that she is not favored, and she relies on the Queen Mother and the Empress to gain a foothold in the palace.
Who would doubt her?
Although there is no evidence for what Ma Shanggong said, Fang Shanggong and Zhou Xunchen both believed it.
"Those shady gadgets in Duke Cheng'en's Palace were all handed down from the previous palace.
The Queen Mother used them to treat many concubines in the harem.
The Queen must have used them too.
When Concubine Shu was pregnant for the first time, She had a miscarriage at six or seven months.
And then there was a Qimei woman who died immediately after a miscarriage."
As a result, these things were actually used on themselves.
Concubine Shen was also born in Cheng'en Palace and had the opportunity to obtain these things.
Since she had been serving the Queen, and later served tea and water beside the Queen Mother, her moves were more subtle than others, so she was sure to be sure of her poison.
Zhou Xunchen suddenly felt a little funny.
The Queen Mother and the Empress probably won’t know how they died until they die, or they will know that they were probably plotted by that time, but even if they become ghosts, they won’t be able to guess who harmed them.
Is this considered retribution?
Their tactics to punish others ended up falling on themselves.
Even the mighty Princess Mingshou probably never imagined that she would be betrayed by such an inconspicuous person as Concubine Shen.
However, it is really unexpected that Concubine Shen can do such a thing.
"It's a pity that it has been a long time.
At that time, the queen mother, the palace eunuchs who served the queen, and other people, including those in the kitchen, the imperial doctor's office, and those who had some connections were almost all wiped out.
I want to find someone alive to ask.
It's hard.
Concubine Shen has already searched her place once, but she was really careful and didn't leave any traces. " Fang Shanggong was not surprised: "In addition to the spice called Duanxi, I remember hearing people say that two secret medicines from the previous dynasty were very sinister.
It is not easy to prepare these medicines, and some of the ingredients have already been He disappeared from the world after the incident with the imperial concubine’s hand stove.
It's probably useless.
The Cheng'en Palace is no longer what it used to be, and Concubine Shen doesn't have the ability to have people prepare and deliver these things to her.
It's also possible that Concubine Shen saw what happened and was afraid that Concubine Shu would do it again.
She got involved and disposed of the rest herself."
Zhou Xunchen nodded: "Although there is no basis for this matter, I still have to report it to the emperor."
There is a hint of temptation in these words.
Fang Shanggong glanced at him and nodded.
Zhou Xunchen has always known that Fang Shanggong is a person with a good background.
The person who took care of Fang Shanggong many years ago was not Zhou Xunchen, but his master.

At that time, Zhou Xunchen was just a young eunuch who had just entered the palace and could only do some errands and odd jobs.
Later, after he became a master, it took a few years for his master to gradually let him handle some things.
Zhou Xunchen is smart and tight-lipped, and he will never inquire about things that should not be inquired about.
His master slowly taught him about the people and things around him, but his master didn't tell him about Fang Shanggong until his death, and just took the secret into the coffin.
After the master was gone, Zhou Xunchen's situation was much more difficult than before.
In the past, there was always a master who stood in front of me, taught me, and protected me.
Without the master, I have to shoulder all these open and covert weapons by myself.
It was only then that Zhou Xunchen realized how kind his master had been to him.
Fang Shanggong also mentioned him once or twice in those years, and after Zhou Xunchen established his foothold, he also took good care of Fang Shanggong, who had been staying in the needlework bureau.
The relationship between the two is neither far nor too close.
Zhou Xunchen also didn't expect that when he recommended people to Yingxiang Pavilion, Fang Shanggong would be willing to come forward, transforming himself from an unknown Shanggong in the needlework bureau to a powerful figure in Yong'an Palace.
From now on, Fang Shanggong's identity will probably change again.
Zhou Xunchen tried his best to recall whether he had neglected Fang Shanggong in the past.
He couldn't think of anything and he didn't dare to take it lightly.
Now he didn't dare to relax in front of Fang Shanggong.
Maybe after today, Fang Shanggong will become The highest ranking person in this palace.
It is said that the queen is the mother of a country, but the queen still has to be respectful and obedient to the emperor.
The queen mother is the top one among the women in the harem.
Zhou Xunchen is already thinking about it.
His relationship with Fang Shanggong can be said to be the closest.
If Fang Shanggong suddenly becomes the Queen Mother and he is asked to serve him, will he go or not?
It's good to serve the Queen Mother, but generally the Queen Mother's palace is filled with idle work for the elderly.
Besides, the empress dowagers might be gone one day.
If he was still young and powerful by then, would he be willing to remain silent from now on?
Whether it was to guard the mausoleum or to be favored by the emperor and return to his hometown to retire, this was not what Zhou Xunchen had ever thought about. days.
He even wanted to serve the imperial concubine all the time.
The imperial concubine has a favor, two sons, and she will become a queen in the next step.
When the time comes, it will not be a problem for me, the steward of Yong'an Palace, to walk sideways in the palace and continue to be prosperous for twenty or thirty years.
Zhou Xunchen realized his silence and naturally changed the topic: "The princess also went to Shoukang Palace just now."
The princess in his words is of course Princess Yuyao.
In Yong'an Palace, people are not so strict in addressing each other.
When you mention the princess, you will naturally know who you are talking about.
Is Yuyao thinking of Concubine Shu again?
Unlike Princess Yubing, Princess Yuyao is a smart and clever child.
Princess Yubin was unaware of Concubine Jin's death, but Princess Yuyao was different.
He turned around and told Guo Shanggong to pay more attention to Yuyao these days.
It would be best if he could figure it out
