"The Emperor has arrived!" At this time, a loud shout suddenly came.
The bright yellow dragon robe fell into the corner of Yifangfei's eyes.
However, Yi Fangfei took the opportunity to bump into Eunuch Gao deliberately and spilled the things in his hands. The package fell to the ground and spread out. The ground was covered with medicinal dregs, a piece of prescription paper, and a brocade bag, all spread out in front of the emperor's feet.
When Yi Fangfei saw Concubine Liu, her expression changed.
"Mother, what happened here? It's such a mess." The emperor frowned and said dissatisfied.
"It's nothing. It's just that a palace maid has unclean hands and feet. The Ai family is asking the father-in-law to take it down and deal with it." The Queen Mother said with a single stroke.
"Your Majesty, I am wronged. I am really wronged." Qiu Ju cried sadly.
"You are so bold and a cheap maid. You dare to be so presumptuous in front of the Emperor. Laifu, what are you doing? Why don't you take her down quickly so that the Emperor will not be bored by looking at you?" the Queen Mother ordered.
"Wait a minute!" The emperor gently raised his hand to stop him.
"Your Majesty, this is——" The Queen Mother looked at the Emperor in confusion.
"Since this girl has complained about injustice, we must give her a chance to explain." The Emperor sat down with a slight smile and said, "Tell me, which palace are you from, what is your name, and why the Queen Mother has wronged you? Tell me.
."
"Back to the emperor, this slave is the maid of Concubine Shu in the Fenghua Palace. This slave appears here only because her ghost from Rui'er of Hengwuyuan came to her last night and said that she would not rest in peace, so she asked her to find things for her.
, saying that someone would naturally find the murderer for her. So the servant went to Rui'er's room to search, and she really found what Rui'er said, which was the thing that was scattered in front of the emperor." Qiu Ju said.
"Oh?" The emperor's eyes flickered, and his eyes accidentally fell on Yi Fangfei. He said, "Huh? Why is Wanrou here today?"
Yi Fangfei hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down: "Wanrou came here just because Xiaolan had a dream last night. She said that her murderer would appear in Lengcui Palace today."
The Queen Mother's eyes were deep and nothing could be seen. The Queen Mother's eyes were slightly raised, and she seemed to be smiling but not smiling. The Queen Mother Liu seemed to be a little tired and her expression was not good. The Queen Mother Shu was still the same, with a light expression.
The emperor's thick eyebrows were slightly raised, and he glanced at the things on the ground. "Eunuch Lu, bring the things up and show them to me."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Eunuch Lu delivered the prescription and the brocade bag to the emperor's hands. The emperor glanced at the prescription lightly, and then pinched the burned fragments in the brocade bag in his hand. His expression was suddenly shocked. He said coldly: "Eunuch Lu, go to the imperial hospital to congratulate the imperial physician.
come over."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After a while, Doctor He from the Imperial Hospital came panting behind Eunuch Lu, carrying a medicine box. When he saw the emperor, he immediately came forward to pay homage.
But the emperor waved his hand and ordered: "I order you to take a look at this prescription, and then check the dregs of the medicine. Do you understand?" His eyes were calm but powerful.
Dr. He trembled, but he still squatted down, took the prescription from Eunuch Lu's hand, checked the dregs of the medicine and smelled it. After he checked, his expression changed slightly, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"How's it going?" The emperor showed his majesty and approached Doctor He.
"Back to the emperor, this prescription is for typhoid fever, and there is nothing wrong with it. It's just that the dregs of the medicine contain realgar. The dose of realgar is very large. For people who are already weak, it is undoubtedly a life-saving dose.
Poison." Dr. He replied.
"You have nothing to do here. You can go back." The emperor's face darkened and he said with a flick of his sleeves.
Dr. He stood up tremblingly and stepped back with trembling steps.
The Emperor Long Yan was furious and looked directly at Concubine Liu. "Concubine Liu, do you know your guilt?"
Concubine Liu's expression changed slightly, but she was still calm. She knelt down and said, "I don't know."
The emperor threw the piece of paper in the brocade bag at her feet: "Take it and read it yourself." Concubine Liu stretched out her hand tremblingly. She took the piece of paper in her hand, and her face suddenly turned pale.
"Tell me, why did you do this?" the emperor asked.
"The last time Princess Rui bumped into my concubine, the fetus in her belly was almost destroyed. I was already unhappy. Her girl didn't show respect when she saw me that day. I was so angry that I asked someone to teach me a lesson.
Who knew that she fell into the lotus pond and lost her life, and I regretted it very much. But I didn't expect that Rui'er from Hengwuyuan blackmailed me and threatened me because of this. I had no choice but to take this step. The same goes for me.
For the sake of the fetus in my belly, God knows how many people in this harem want to harm my child's life." Concubine Liu immediately confessed.
Yi Fangfei couldn't help but be shocked. She thought it would not be so easy to force her to confess, but she didn't expect it to be so easy? Her red light powder and follow-up arrangements didn't even need to appear.
But according to what she said, did Xiaolan really lose her life just because she failed to follow the etiquette? Yi Fangfei couldn't help but stare at Concubine Liu.
The emperor looked at Concubine Liu sadly, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
"Come here, Concubine Liu was jealous and immoral. She killed two people in a row. This was a disgrace to her dignity as a concubine. She should have been put to death. Because she was pregnant with a dragon seed in her belly, she spared her kindness. Today she took off as Wanyi and moved to Hengwu.
Please stay in the hospital and think about your mistakes." The emperor waved his sleeves and left.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. Long live, long live, long live." Concubine Liu said.
"Aijia is also tired. Come back to Cining Palace." The Queen Mother took a deep look at Yi Fangfei. That look made Yi Fangfei suddenly feel chilled in her heart.
Why is the Empress Dowager looking at her like this? Is Concubine Liu related to her in any way? She turned around and asked Chiyan Sect to conduct a thorough investigation.
The empress patted Yi Fangfei on the shoulder: "Wanrou, you did it for a girl-" She didn't finish her words, but Yi Fangfei completely understood.
The Queen sighed softly and left.
Concubine Shu was left. She walked past Yifangfei and said lightly: "You were too impulsive today." Before Yifangfei could react, she had already walked away.
Did she really do something wrong? Blood debt must be paid with blood. It is a right thing to do. The prince and the common people are equally guilty. No one has the right to take away the life of others easily, right?
Yi Fangfei returned to Prince Rui's Mansion full of doubts.
Late at night, in the Hengwu courtyard.
The emperor sat on the soft couch and looked at Concubine Liu with deep and sharp eyes.
"Tell me, who is the person you want to protect?"
"I don't understand what the emperor is saying?" The current Concubine Liu looks haggard, disheveled, and her hair is messy. She still looks charming and generous.
The emperor stared at Concubine Liu fiercely, and a sinister and absolute light flashed across his deep black pupils. "Then my beloved concubine should also understand that there is absolutely no room for any confusion about the blood of the royal family."
Concubine Liu immediately turned pale and fell down on the cold granite slab.
"Come here, give me the medicine!" The emperor frowned and walked away.
Eunuch Lu came up with a bowl of hot black concoction. "Mother, please."
Concubine Liu stared at the bowl of concoction, her pupils slightly dilated, she stood up tremblingly, and took the bowl of concoction with trembling hands. She gritted her teeth and drank the entire bowl of concoction.
The pain immediately burned like fire in her abdomen.
In less than a moment, blood, enchanting blood, soaked out from her lower body, dyeing her dress red, and dyeing the white and cold ground red.
That night, Ginkgo, the personal maid beside Concubine Liu, hit the wall and died. Blood splashed on the snow-white palace wall of Hengwuyuan. All other maids serving Shuangyan Palace were sent out of the palace and sent to the nunnery to pray for Concubine Liu. And those
The eunuch was sent back to his hometown in a secret way. At the same time, Qiu Ju, the maid of Fenghua Palace, was found to have hanged herself in her room. And the eunuch He used the excuse that he was old and unbearable for the heavy responsibility during the morning court the next day.
, retired and returned to his hometown.
When the news reached Prince Rui's Mansion, Yi Fangfei looked sad and did not say a word for a long time.
