"Other reasons..." Haitang thought for a while, then suddenly jumped up and said, "Did she want to harm Brother Six?"
"She dares!" Although it was just Haitang's guess, Liu's expression still became extremely stern, "If she dares to touch a hair of Hongzhan, I will punish her to death!"
"Although Haitang's guess is bold, it may not be impossible. The fourth elder brother's incident the night before was said to be the fault of Dai Jia. However, it is still unknown how it happened. It may have something to do with Hui Guiren. She was also responsible for it at that time.
Qiangong."
Mrs. Liu nodded slightly and handed Hongzhan to Jingu, "Look at Brother Six, I will go out to see her."
"Yes." After Jin Gu went down, she also took Haitang to the outside of the palace gate, and saw Mrs. Shu Mulu standing there as expected.
"I have seen my concubine, long blessings to you." When she saw her coming out, Mrs. Shumulu was not surprised. Mrs. Liu killed her own child and put the blame on her. Now that she is back, she naturally wants to prevent her from taking revenge. How can she be willing to do so?
Let her enter the Palace of Eternal Life easily.
"Mr. Hui, please rise." Ms. Liu raised her hand and said, "I wonder if Minghui has come to see me. What does he want to say?"
Mr. Shumulu suppressed his hatred for Mrs. Liu and said softly: "The weather is fine today. I wonder if your Majesty would be willing to go to the Royal Garden for a visit, so that I can tell you the matter in detail."
Madam Liu nodded and walked out first, followed closely by Madam Shumulu, who walked wordlessly to the Fubi Pavilion in the Imperial Garden. Looking out from the pavilion, she could see all the colorful flowers in the garden, and Madam Liu didn't even look at her head.
He replied: "Hui Gui, can you speak now?"
Shu Mulu smiled slightly, turned around and said, "Ru Liu, go out and take a closer look."
"Yes." Ru Liu knew that this matter was of great importance, and his master did not want to fall into the ears of others.
After Ruliu went down, Mrs. Shumulu walked up to Mrs. Liu, opened her lips and said: "How the seventh elder brother died and who killed him, my queen should know best in her heart."
"Should this be understood by Hui Gui?" As soon as Mrs. Liu finished speaking, Mrs. Shumulu said again: "It's clear that people don't speak secretly in front of others, so why should the empress pretend to be confused?"
Mrs. Liu withdrew her gaze, stared at her and said, "If this is the reason why Lady Hui came to see me, then there is no need to say any more."
"Of course not." Mrs. Shumulus smiled slightly and said something that made Mrs. Liu's expression change with horror, "Do you want to know who put the red flowers in the water you bathed in?"
After the initial surprise, Liu said suspiciously: "What do you know?"
Shu Mulu's smile remained unchanged and she said: "I know much more than your Majesty thinks, I just want to see if your Majesty is interested in listening."
Liu's eyes flashed and he asked deliberately: "The silk bag that fell out during the Spring Festival has been proven to be filled with saffron. Why did you say it was safflower?"
"If there really were no red flowers, how could the empress give birth prematurely in eight months? But..." She paused and said: "If the empress really doesn't have any doubts, then just pretend that I didn't say this, I'm concubine."
Resign."
After that, she pretended to leave. Liu knew clearly that she was deliberately trying her attitude, but he had to stop her and said, "Wait a minute."
An invisible smile appeared on the corners of Shu Mulu's lips. Although she stopped, she did not speak immediately until Mrs. Liu slowed down her tone and said, "Tell me who put the red flowers in my water."
, do you welcome the spring?”
The matter of premature birth has always been a thorn in her heart. If she had not stayed in the mother's body for enough time, Hongxun's body would not be so weak at all, and she would not have to kill her child with her own hands. After all, the person who caused her to give birth prematurely was
She was the culprit. She suspected that the queen had done something, but there was no evidence, so she could only keep the matter in her heart.
"Your Majesty's guess is correct. It was indeed Yingchun who put red flowers in the water where the Queen bathed. However, the person who asked Yingchun to do this was not the Queen."
Ms. Liu frowned and said, "Who is that?"
"It's Concubine Xi!" When these three words came out of Shu Mulu's mouth, Mrs. Liu was startled, and then categorically denied: "Impossible!"
Mrs. Shumulu expected her to have this reaction, so she smiled and said, "Why are you so sure? Does it mean that Concubine Xi will not harm you?"
Mrs. Liu stared at her for a long time, and suddenly laughed, and said while laughing: "I understand, you have always had a grudge against me, and you know that I and Concubine Xi are close, so you came here to provoke me, and you want to drive a wedge between me and Concubine Xi.
Please be careful about the relationship between Concubine Xi, I will not fall into your trap."
Shu Mulu said with a sincere face: "I have misunderstood you. I care about you and am afraid that I will misunderstand the thief, so I came to tell you the truth."
Mrs. Liu sneered at her words. She had harmed Mr. Shumulu so much. If Mr. Shumulu didn't hate her or even care about her, then Mr. Shumulu would be a saint. Only a saint could repay evil with kindness, regardless of gain or loss.
Seeing her expression in his eyes, Shumulu sighed softly and said: "I knew that the empress would not believe it, but this is indeed true. When the jadeite beside the empress threw herself into a well, Yingchun, who was her good friend, was dissatisfied.
Coupled with the instigation of Sanfu, who rebelled against the lord and took refuge in Concubine Xi, Yingchun had the heart to rebel against the lord and relied on Concubine Xi.
On his orders, he secretly dropped red flowers in the water where the empress was bathing, and then took the opportunity to frame the blame on the empress. The empress did not know about this until one day, she accidentally discovered that Yingchun was sneaking around and sent someone to follow her.
She did such a crazy thing because she wanted to expose Yingchun, but she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to say it when the time came.
He knew that he would be harmed by it, so he could only try to replace the safflower in Yingchun's hand with saffron, which has the effect of protecting the fetus. He hoped that the influence of the previous safflower on the mother's fetus could be eliminated. Unfortunately, it still failed.
It was discovered a little late, so the mother-in-law gave birth prematurely in August. Fortunately, the two little brothers were safe and sound.
The Queen Mother feels better." Before Liu could speak, she added: "I know the Queen Mother doesn't believe it and thinks that I deliberately framed Concubine Xi, but please think about it carefully. At that time, the imperial doctor pointed out that the silk bag contained hidden treasures.
How did you react when the red grass bloomed to welcome the spring? Even if the empress had not seen it with her own eyes at that time, she should have heard it mentioned by the palace officials."
Mrs. Liu didn't want to pay attention to her words, but when she heard what she said, she couldn't help but recall what Jin Gu had said to her. She said that the Spring Festival at that time was like crazy, and she kept saying that the things in the silk bags were red flowers.
It was the queen who made her do what she did. According to common sense, she should be happy that the silk bag did not contain red flowers.
In my ears, Mrs. Shu Mulu's words continued, "Mom, if you think about it carefully, if you give birth to a child, whose interests will have the greatest impact? It's none other than Concubine Xi!"
