Seeing this, Si Zhu felt her heart in her throat. How could the empress be so confused that she dared to drink the tea from Xihua Palace?
The rules in the palace have always been like this. You don't eat food from other palaces easily, otherwise you won't know how you fell into the trap.
Fortunately for the empress, she drank the tea from Xihua Palace without any precautions.
Mu Ci quickly drank a cup of tea. Seeing this, Lan Xin stepped forward to put away the tea cup.
Mu Ci took a look at Lan Xin's hands and saw that they did not have calluses like Liu Xin's.
But when I thought about the way Liu Xin was cleaning the main hall just now, I felt that it was normal for Liu Xin to have calluses on her hands. She was probably too worried.
"Sister, are you listening to me?" Seeing that Mu Ci didn't answer, Mu Xue increased her voice.
She came to Mu Ci to help, not to be in a daze.
Mu Ci raised his head and looked at her: "Of course there is. But you also know that the Ai family has severed the father-daughter relationship with Mr. Mu, and the honor and disgrace of the Mu family has nothing to do with the Ai family. What you just said, has nothing to do with the Ai family.
It doesn’t matter.”
Muxue actually wanted her to help find the so-called suspect. Isn't it ridiculous?
She and Muxue are not sisters who love each other.
"How can the true blood relationship be severed? If the child in my belly is saved and a prince is born, then our Mu family will be able to..."
"Okay, you'd better keep these words for your future siblings. The Ai family is not interested." After saying this, Mu Ci stood up and planned to leave.
The future siblings she spoke of were the child in Bai Wei's belly.
Unexpectedly, just when she got up, Muxue suddenly looked at her with a pale face: "Sister, help me..."
Mu Ci looked at Muxue intently, wondering if she was acting. It wasn't until Muxue swayed that she realized that Muxue had fallen on the couch, and there was suspicious blood flowing out from under his body.
When Lan Xin saw this scene, she was also frightened and screamed loudly: "Send the doctor to the doctor quickly!"
She had left for a short while when she went to find Liu Xin, but at that time, Mu Ci suddenly attacked her master.
Thinking of this, she looked at Mu Ci: "The Queen Mother, it was you who harmed Concubine Shu, the Queen Mother..."
Empress Shu Fei originally wanted to ask Mu Ci to help find out the cause of the disease, but she didn't know that Mu Ci was so vicious and poisoned the empress when she left.
If she didn't go away, Mu Ci wouldn't have the chance to kill him, and it would be all her fault.
Mu Ci raised his eyebrows lightly: "If there is no evidence, don't say nonsense."
Is all this just a coincidence?
When she came, although Muxue looked a little haggard, he didn't look like he was going to slide. This happened all of a sudden. Could it be because what she just said irritated Muxue?
At this moment, she was even a little unsure.
Not long after, the imperial doctor arrived at the scene. After diagnosing Muxue's pulse immediately, he shook his head and sighed: "The emperor's heir can't be saved."
He had already said that if there was a third time, no one would be able to save this dragon heir, but Concubine Shu still didn't pay attention, which led to today's result. She brought it on herself.
When Muxue heard the news, she was so angry that she fainted again.
Dugu Liancheng arrived after hearing the news. As soon as he stepped into the palace, Lan Xin knelt down at his feet and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Shu is unjust. The imperial heir who died in vain is even more unjust. Please make the decision for Concubine Shu."
"Get up and tell me what happened." Dugu Liancheng said and went to the bed.
Muxue's face was pale. She was awake but not in good spirits. She was looking ahead blankly, as if her soul had flown far away.
Lan Xin felt heartbroken when she saw her master like this.
Looking at Mu Ci next to him, he was as calm as ever, without any signs of panic, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
It was clearly Mu Ci who had poisoned the empress, otherwise the emperor's heir would not have died like this.
She was filled with anger and resentment, and then added some fuel and jealousy, telling what happened before and after Mu Ci came to Xihua Palace.
"When the slave left, only the Queen Mother and the Concubine Shu were together. Just a short while after the slave came back, the emperor's heir in the belly of the Concubine Shu was gone..." When she said this, she burst into tears and her head straightened.
Refers to admiration.
Dugu Liancheng looked at Mu Ci who was sitting beside him and asked quietly: "Queen Mother, is it true?"
"It was indeed Lan Xin who came to invite the Aijia, and Lan Xin did walk away for a while, but the implicit meaning of Lan Xin's words was directed at the Aijia. You must know that everything must be done with evidence. It does not mean that just spitting out words can contaminate the trap.
Innocent person." Mu Ci said, glancing at Lan Xin: "The Ai family feels that we need to investigate carefully. Concubine Shu knew that this child was about to be saved, and she used this child that could not be kept to frame the Ai family. The emperor,
You must seek justice in this matter."
"The Queen Mother, this is a false accusation!" Muxue, who was originally looking dull, immediately forgot about his grief when he heard Mu Ci's words, and roared at Mu Ci.
At first she was immersed in grief, but now thinking about the situation just now, it was true that Mu Ci was the only one in the room, and Mu Ci was cunning. It would make sense if Mu Ci had used some trick to secretly cause her to miscarry.
thing.
"The Ai family just expressed their confusion, so how could it be a frame-up? According to Concubine Shu, Lan Xin was accusing the Ai family of murdering Concubine Shu, both inside and outside of her words. Is that a frame-up?" Mu Ci asked back.
road.
Mu Xue and Lan Xin were immediately speechless.
Because there is no evidence, Lan Xin's accusation is just a talk. Likewise, Mu Ci set a trap for her, but there is no actual evidence.
Muxue was filled with grief and anger, and looked at Dugu Liancheng and said: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged. I listened to the imperial doctor and didn't even dare to get off the bed. Why is it that I am always slipping? Your Majesty has also seen it recently. I am getting thinner and thinner day by day.
, can’t eat, can’t sleep, someone must be murdering me secretly——”
"That's enough! You keep saying that someone poisoned you, but the imperial doctor didn't find anything wrong. I think it's not that someone poisoned you, but that you have inner demons!" Dugu Liancheng scolded, interrupting Mu Xue's words.
Muxue couldn't believe that Long Live Lord, who had always doted on her, actually scolded her like this. Her tears flowed down uncontrollably: "Your Majesty..."
Dugu Liancheng looked at the imperial doctor coldly: "Let me check carefully and see if I can find out that someone is poisoning Concubine Shu!"
After he finished speaking, he stood up.
When passing by Mu Ci, he slowed down and said, "You are everywhere!"
Mu Ci looked innocent. What do you mean she is everywhere?
Dugu Liancheng glared at her again, and she stared back rudely.
The two were just expressing their displeasure with each other, but in Muxue's opinion, they were flirting in front of her.
No wonder Mu Ci was not sincere enough when he said Long Live Lord that time. It turned out that this was what Mu Ci was alluding to. It's a pity that she didn't understand the intention of her words at the time.
After Dugu Liancheng left, Mu Ci also planned to leave.
