Chapter 205: The revelation of the incident comes to question
It’s late at night in the Forbidden Palace, and I can only hear the rustling of falling snow.
Danyue didn't sleep very peacefully, probably because she drank too much water before going to bed.
He quietly got up, put on his clothes and went outside to relieve himself.
When I came back and lay down, I heard Chi Su over there turning over.
Chi Su didn’t come back until after Xu again tonight, and it’s been several days in a row.
I fell asleep when I came back and didn't know what to do. I seemed very tired.
Just when Danyue was about to fall asleep again, Chi Su started talking in her sleep.
"Dad...Mom...I will have money in a few days...I will send it all to you..."
"It will be seven days on the 21st... The Seven Stars Seize the Soul will become... The Queen is dead... Concubine Fu will give me a lot... a lot of money..."
Then she continued to talk nonsense intermittently, and Tanyue listened with fear.
Things that I had doubts about before are now 70-80% clear.
If this is true, it would be a grave crime to punish the Nine Tribes!
Immediately afterwards, Danyue felt nervous again, the day after tomorrow would be the 21st.
In Tamamo Palace, Concubine Li was washing her hands with goat's milk again, and her bright red nails looked particularly eye-catching.
Cuiqiao walked in from outside, her steps a little hasty.
Li Fei calmly took out her hand, and the maid on the side quickly replaced it with a basin of warm water. After Li Fei washed her hands, she wiped them with a soft cloth.
"Just let Yin Ye apply the ointment on me. You all can go down." Li Fei left her two confidants behind.
After everyone else had gone out, Cui Qiao said: "Your Majesty, there is something big happening in Furong Palace!"
"What, is there any movement over there?" Li Fei asked while admiring her weak, boneless hands.
"The commotion this time is not small," Cui Qiao lowered her voice unconsciously, "Isn't the Queen ill these days? They say it's because of the cold, but in fact it's someone from Furong Palace who is poisoning her."
"What? You said that Concubine Fu gave the queen a poison?" Concubine Li was very surprised when she heard this, "Is this true?"
"It's absolutely true, that man told me the whole story in detail." Cui Qiao then repeated the man's words completely.
"That sounds like what happened, but she didn't see it with her own eyes after all." Li Fei said cautiously.
"She also knew that this matter was of great importance, so she specially found an opportunity the next day to go to the innermost compartment of Concubine Fu's dormitory.
A curtain was set up in the southwest corner, and there was a small altar. There were indeed straw figures and other objects on it. The straw figures also had the birth date and horoscope nailed on them, which belonged to the queen." Cui Qiao said, "There are seven figures placed around the straw figures.
Six oil lamps have been lit, and the last one is still to be lit."
"Is this the Seven-Star Soul Seizing Formation that the palace maid talked about in her sleep?" Li Fei frowned, still speculating on the credibility of this matter.
"Empress, didn't you tell me earlier that Concubine Fu was not as honest as she seemed?" Yinye said, "Now that the Fifth Prince is in the limelight, and the Yao and Ma families have framed them again and again, how can Concubine Fu not feel resentful? p>
Isn’t it normal for you not to dare to break up with the queen publicly, but to resort to some tricks in private?"
"The Queen and Concubine Fu will eventually confront each other. Even if she doesn't count on the Queen, the Queen will not let them go." Concubine Li knew this very well, "I just didn't expect that Concubine Fu would use such a method.
”
"Your Majesty, there's nothing strange about this." Cui Qiao said, "Think about it, Concubine Fu's natal family is not in the capital, and she had no one to count on in the past. Wouldn't she have to resort to backstabbing tactics?
The person we placed there is the old man in front of Concubine Fu. She is usually very cautious, so the news she spreads must be reliable.
Moreover, Concubine Fu has been claiming to be ill in the past few days, and she has not been seen by anyone who visits her. But that person said that Concubine Fu was not sick and was in a good mood.
Isn't it obvious that they don't want irrelevant people to come to their place? I'm afraid it won't work if it breaks through."
"Oh, isn't today the last day?" Yinye said, "After today, their altar will definitely be withdrawn."
"Yes, empress, today is the last chance. If we can't report her, it will be even harder to catch her in the future." Cui Qiao also said.
"Don't rush me, I have to think about it carefully." Li Fei also struggled hard in her heart, "I can't decide this matter alone."
If Concubine Fu really did this, she would definitely be punished with a serious crime.
Not only her, but also the fifth prince and his wife will find it difficult to turn over in the future.
Seeing that their side is becoming more and more powerful, and Concubine Fu is always cautious and courteous, it is really difficult to catch her.
Does Li Fei not know that this opportunity is rare? But the more important it is, the more careful the decision must be.
The two palace maids did not dare to urge any more and just stood aside quietly.
After a long time, Concubine Li stood up and said, "Please help me get dressed. I want to go out."
Furong Palace.
Xue Hengzhao brought the tea she had ordered to Concubine Fu. The tea soup was filled with water, which complemented the sandalwood in the room.
"I heard that the emperor visited the Queen's Palace early in the morning." Concubine Fu took a sip of tea, "Concubine Li must have gotten the message."
"The queen got sick at the right time this time. As expected, God's calculations are better than those of others," Xue Hengzhao smiled slightly, "This illness adds another layer of truth to our strategy."
"The road ahead of you is well paved," said Concubine Fu. "You are really a master of layout."
"Thank you, Madam. You had no intention of participating in the war before, so I will keep the spy.
If we want to take action in the future, we can no longer keep her around to get in the way." Xue Hengzhao said and slowly put away the tea set, just like a fisherman slowly closing his net.
Concubine Fu drank all the tea in her hand and just put the cup down when she heard a commotion outside.
"The Emperor and the Queen have arrived! Concubine Fu will pick you up!"
But before Concubine Fu could reach the door, the emperor and the queen had already entered.
Behind them was Li Fei.
"My concubine, Concubine Fu, please send your greetings to the Emperor and Queen." Concubine Fu did not panic at all, and was as steady and dignified as usual.
"It's time to pay tribute to Sister Fu Fei." Li Fei stepped forward and said.
Concubine Fu also returned the favor.
At this time, those who followed the emperor and the queen had already surrounded everyone in Furong Palace.
"Fei Fei, I heard that you have been sick these days. What's wrong with you?" The emperor sat down and asked.
"I don't have any serious illness, I'm just a little lazy, which makes the emperor worried." Concubine Fu smiled softly and looked around.
"Concubine Fu, what are the partitions in your bedroom used for?" the queen asked.
"It's just used to store clothes and jewelry. It's considered a warehouse." Concubine Fu said, "Why do you ask about this?"
"Someone came to me and the Holy One to report you," the queen said, glancing at Concubine Li, "saying that you set up an altar in that room and cursed me."
