"Back to the empress, Sister Caiyan, she...she..." The little palace goddess looked flustered and hesitated as if she couldn't even speak.
"What happened to her?" Concubine Lu frowned and asked unhappily, with an ominous premonition rising in her heart.
"Sister Caiyan... was taken away by my father-in-law and several guards!"
"What did you say?" Concubine Lu's face changed drastically. She pinched the wrist of the little palace maid in front of her and asked sternly: "Say it again!"
"Your Majesty, Sister Caiyan was taken away. The father-in-law who took her away said that she was suspected of murdering the prince and was going to be sent to Tingwei for interrogation!"
The palace maid's wrist hurt from being pinched by Concubine Lu, so she answered with difficulty.
Concubine Lu suddenly let go of her hand, shook her head and said in disbelief: "Impossible... This matter will not be found out so quickly. Caiyan is not the one who directly handles this matter, so how could it be found out about her?
?”
She muttered to herself for a while, then stood up suddenly, looked at the palace maid in front of her fiercely, and said through gritted teeth: "No, I want to see the emperor, I want to see the emperor!"
"Empress..." The palace maid wanted to stop her, but Concubine Lu pushed her away fiercely and rushed out of the cold palace without any explanation to ask for Xiao Heng. Unexpectedly, before she could walk out of the cold palace, she was surrounded by a group of palace people.
The guard stopped him.
"What are you doing? I'm going to see the emperor, why don't you get out of my way!" Concubine Lu glared at the guards who were blocking her with a stern expression. Unexpectedly, these guards' expressions did not change and they replied coldly: "The emperor has an order."
, everyone in the Cold Palace cannot leave the Cold Palace even half a step unless summoned by the emperor!"
Concubine Lu did not expect that the emperor not only sent people to take Caiyan away, but also ordered the guards to guard the cold palace and prevent her from leaving. She was so angry that she was shaking, pointing at the guards in front of her and said: "You dog slaves, you are blocking my way."
Lu, unless you show the imperial edict, I will never believe that this is an order from the emperor!"
"Your Majesty, please come back. If your Majesty insists on breaking out, don't blame us guards for being rude!" The leader of the guards replied solemnly, as if he had already taken a stand against Concubine Lu and would never allow her to leave the cold palace.
"How dare you... threaten me!" Concubine Lu was furious when she heard this, and shouted sternly: "Even if I am thrown into the cold palace, I am still the biological sister of Duke Lu, and the concubine whom the emperor personally named me!"
"Empress, we honor you as empress because you once took charge of the harem..." The leader of the guards frowned and said mercilessly: "But empress is no longer a noble concubine now. As for the Duke of Lu, he is even more difficult to protect himself.
So please take care of yourself, Madam!"
"You..." Concubine Lu was so angry that her face was livid, and she was about to scold him. However, thinking of what he just said, "The Duke of Lu cannot protect himself," she grabbed the guard by the collar and asked with wide eyes: "
What did you mean when you said Duke Lu could not protect himself? What happened?"
The guard waved away Concubine Lu's hand that grabbed her collar, and said calmly: "I believe that your Majesty will know about it soon..."
Concubine Lu's body swayed suddenly. Although the guard didn't say it clearly, she had already vaguely guessed that what her eldest brother had done was revealed!
But now that Caiyan has been taken away, she may not be able to withstand the torture and will confess everything she once did in the palace!
If the eldest brother falls, then she is doomed, and so is the entire Fanyang Lu family...
