When Zhou Yu, the head of the inner court, hurried to Yufu Palace, the guards had already stood in several rows.

Needless to say, these are naturally Chu Xue's people.

A moment ago, the chief manager of Zhou was still playing with his thrush in his residence, but suddenly he heard someone knocking on the door. After a busy day, he finally rested for a while, and the chief manager was just about to get impatient, but he heard the little eunuch outside the door say urgently: "Manager Zhou is not good, something is wrong!" Concubine Li led people to break into Yufu Palace and poisoned Concubine Yi. Medicine, go and have a look! ”

The melon seeds used to tease the bird in his hand were sprinkled on the ground, and the chief manager of Zhou immediately put on his robe again and hurried to Yufu Palace.

Seeing that it was him, the palace people guarding the door made his debut, and he was able to enter Yufu Palace smoothly. But he had only taken a few steps closer to the main hall, and the scene in front of him had already made him break out in a cold sweat.

The strong smell of blood in the hall has spread to the courtyard with the entry and exit of the palace maids, looking at the basins of scarlet hot water that has been served, Zhou Yu's legs are weak, and there is so much blood, can the little prince in Concubine Yi's womb be saved!

He really didn't know before, but on the way to come just now, the little eunuch who reported the news had already explained to him that Concubine Yi was two months pregnant, and the Queen Mother had specially instructed him to take care of Yufu Palace before leaving the palace.

He knew that the last night before the emperor left the palace was in Yufu Palace, although he also felt that there was something strange about Concubine Yi Guifei being cold before, but the master didn't know that he shouldn't ask, this truth, as the head of the inner court for decades, he knew better than anyone else.

So after knowing that Concubine Yi was pregnant, he was even weaker at the moment.

Concubine Li has eaten the bear's heart, the leopard is daring, and she dares to go to Guan Yi Guifei's □□! Don't say that she is a concubine, even the queen doesn't dare to do this!

At this moment, he prayed to the gods to bless Concubine Yi's mother and son with great sincerity, otherwise he really didn't know how long his errand and even his life would last. But as he got closer, the thick gore almost told him the truth.

Chu Xue's painful moan. The groan came into his ears, and Zhou Yu, who was waiting outside the hall, became more and more anxious, and nearly half an hour later, the imperial physician Cheng Zisong came out of the hall with a curtain, and when he saw him, before he could ask, he took the initiative to tell him with a sad face: "Manager Zhou, please forgive me for being incompetent, the prince in the belly of Concubine Yi is gone." ”

Zhou Yu's voice trembled, and he asked, "Imperial Doctor Cheng's medical skills are excellent, take a closer look, but there is still room for turnaround?" ”

Cheng Zisong shook his head, "Manager Zhou is really too high, if Niangniang is only a slight illness, you can try your best in the future, but the noble concubine Niangniang has just been poured with extremely violent medicinal power. Fetal medicine, I worked hard for a long time to save Niangniang's life, but the dragonborn is only two months, it is too fragile, and it is powerless to return to the sky! ”

Both of them sighed with bitter faces. After being silent for a while, he heard another woman shouting, and Zhou Yu remembered that he heard that Concubine Li was still being "guarded" inside by the people of Yufu Palace!

It's not so much about guarding, it's better to say it's close, since Concubine Li broke in, Yufu Palace's own palace people have surrounded the palace gate tightly, and Concubine Li's master and servant can't escape even if they want to.

The woman's shouts became more and more sharp and piercing, Zhou Yu sighed, and said to Cheng Zisong: "Please ask the imperial doctor to serve Concubine Yi carefully, let's go over and have a look first." ”

Cheng Zisong nodded, and watched Zhou Yu go to the side hall where Concubine Li was closed.

As early as Concubine Li just entered the hall, the medicine was dropped by Yan Ling, so Chu Xue's body was naturally not as exaggerated as Cheng Zisong told Zhou Yu, although the medicine he prescribed himself was mild, but the child was no longer guaranteed, and it would always hurt the mother's body, of course, he still had to take care of it carefully, and minimize the damage to Chu Xue's body, so that she could recover as much as possible and conceive the child again.

～

The door of the side hall creaked open from the outside, Concubine Li was stunned, and then saw Zhou Yu who stepped in.

Tonight's events were too unexpected for her, seeing Zhou Yu at this moment, it was like grasping a life-saving straw, Concubine Li hurriedly said: "Manager Zhou, save the palace!" Hongu is framed! That woman, that woman fornicated with someone and conceived a bad child, this palace is here to remove the emperor's troubles, you quickly save this palace out! ”

Zhou Yu shook his head and sighed: "I said Niangniang, don't talk nonsense anymore, you have caused a big enough disaster, the prince in Concubine Yigui's womb has been killed by you!" ”

Concubine Li was even more angry and said, "Even you don't believe in this palace? She deserves her child is gone! Why do you blame the head of this palace? The medicine brought by this palace has long been taken away by her people, and this palace has not done anything at all! ”

Zhou Yuzhi felt that the other party was unreasonable, and he asked rhetorically: "Niangniang, think about it yourself, does anyone believe this?" You took the medicine and led people into Yufu Palace, it was in full view, and now the prince in Concubine Yi's womb is gone, you said that you didn't do anything, do you believe it? If you didn't do it, would the child have been killed by Concubine Yi herself? ”

"She must have done it herself!" Concubine Li cried urgently, "This woman is so cunning, she can't do anything!" ”

Concubine Li finally understood, she entered Chu Xue's bureau tonight, Chu Xue actually used a child to frame herself, but she was all kept in the dark!

Chu Xue is too ruthless! But the queen ......

Before she could think about it any more, she heard Zhou Yu say: "I said Niangniang, why did Concubine Yi get rid of the child by herself?" The harem mother is expensive by her son, doesn't Concubine Yi want to give birth to a prince? People have a bright future, can they get along with themselves? ”

"You, you, you're with them, aren't you? You're that woman's person too, aren't you? Together, you want to frame Hongu! This palace will never be framed by you! The emperor won't believe you! ”

Seeing that Zhou Yu still refused to believe herself, Concubine Li gradually despaired and began to cry hysterically.

Zhou Yu shook his head, and was about to persuade something, but he heard a report from the little eunuch behind him, saying that Concubine Yi had just stabilized and wanted to announce his visit. Zhou Yu sighed, casually instructed the eunuchs around him to take care of Concubine Li, and went to the main hall.

After working for nearly an hour, there was still blood in the hall, and Zhou Yu was allowed to enter the dormitory, and waited for Chu Xue's dispatch through the collapsing tent.

Chu Xue was weak but indignant: "Concubine Li is so bold that she dares to frame the innocence of this palace and mutilate the palace and the imperial heir in her womb, her crime is unforgivable!" But the palace didn't believe that a concubine who had only been in the palace for less than a year dared to do such a thing, and someone must have instructed her to do it. ”

How could Zhou Yu not understand who the "someone" in Chu Xue's words refers to? But he is a big manager, and he is still the emperor's person, so he should naturally be neutral and not partial, he coughed, bowed down and said: "The slave understands Niangniang's feelings." But this matter is very important, and the minions are afraid ......"

"Hongu understands your difficulties." Chu Xue interrupted him: "Manager Zhou, rest assured, this palace knows that you can't be the master, so just now I have sent someone out of the palace to ask the queen mother's will, and now I call you here for two things, first, before the queen mother's decree arrives, this palace will not release people, it is useless for anyone to come, no one in this palace will see it, if someone comes to break in, it is your responsibility!" Second, Concubine Li is cunning, and the palace is afraid that she will not admit the crime, and someone is afraid that she will deliberately cover it up, so now you have to send someone to Lingyue Palace to search, and be sure to find the evidence. ”

"These two things, this palace thinks it's not difficult, what do you think?"

In all fairness, these two things are indeed not embarrassing for Zhou Yu, and it is not difficult for a dignified general manager to handle them. At this time, seeing that he had lost a prince, his responsibility was not small, and he urgently needed to make up for his mistakes in front of Chu Xue, so that people could intercede for him when the emperor blamed him in the future. Therefore, at this time, Zhou Yu immediately said: "Yes, the slave will do it, and please ask the mother to recuperate." ”

Chu Xue raised her hand tiredly, and Zhou Yu hurriedly stepped back.

~~

Fengyi Palace.

Xu Jinhe has been waiting for news from Concubine Li.

However, seeing that so much time had passed, no one from Lingyue Palace had come to report the news.

It is said that with Concubine Li's temperament and her hatred for Chu Xue, she will not miss tonight, but at this time, she is indeed a little upset, Xu Jinhe instructed Qiu Gui, "You go to Yufu Palace to see, what is going on?" ”

"Yes."

Qiu Gui was about to raise his feet, but saw the palace maid who had gone out to inquire before hurriedly coming in.

Xu Jinhe's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "How?" ”

The palace maid said: "Back to Niangniang, the gate of Yufu Palace is closed, and the slave maid saw that the imperial doctor and the chief manager Zhou had entered, but they never came out, and they didn't see Concubine Li come out." However, the slave seemed to vaguely hear someone shouting in Yufu Palace, it seemed to be Concubine Li's voice. ”

Qiu Gui hurriedly analyzed for the master, "Niangniang, please rest assured, since the imperial doctor and the chief manager Zhou have gone, there must be an accident, presumably Concubine Li has already done it, the medicine is violent, and Concubine Yi should not be able to hold on, otherwise, the imperial doctor will not come out all the time." ”

What Qiu Gui said made sense, Xu Jinhe nodded, and asked again: "Concubine Keli has never come out...... Did you hear her shouting? ”

The palace maid replied: "Yu Niangniang, it is too far away, and the slave and maid do not really listen to it, it seems that they are crying out for injustice." ”

Qiu Gui frowned, looked at the master inquiringly, but heard the master sneer, and said: "What does she have to do with this palace, before anyone comes back, go to Lingyue Palace to check, but don't leave any evidence." ”

Qiu Gui nodded in response and went out to do errands in person.

I don't know if the people in Lingyue Palace have disposed of the medicine residue, but it was her Qiu Gui who personally went to find Zhang Yutian, if it is discovered, it will inevitably be a little troublesome, so it is better to dispose of it herself.

After a while, Qiu Gui came to the outside of Lingyue Palace.

Most of the people in the palace followed Concubine Li to Yufu Palace tonight, and the night was dark, Qiu Gui sneaked in very easily, without attracting anyone's attention.

Of course, except for Qiu Yan, who was waiting for her in the dark on the side too early.

Qiu Gui quietly walked around the small kitchen of Lingyue Palace, and sure enough, she found the medicine residue that had not been discarded, she secretly sighed that she had come well, hurriedly packed up the medicine residue and put it in her arms, and then quietly sneaked out again, planning to throw it anywhere after a while.

But her wishful thinking failed, and as soon as she walked out of the door of Lingyue Palace, she heard someone shouting, "Who? Then out of thin air, several people surrounded her.

Qiu Gui was startled, and saw someone walking out slowly with a lantern, she took a closer look, and found that it was Qiu Yan, the head of the celebrant mansion.

Qiu Gui naturally knew that this person was close to Yufu Palace, and the secret way was not good, and he was about to find an excuse to prevaricate the past, but he heard Qiu Yan speak: "It turned out to be Aunt Qiu Gui, our family just went through this, and I saw someone sneaking into Lingyue Palace, and I thought it was a thief from somewhere, but I didn't expect it to be you!" ”

Qiu Gui snorted coldly and said, "Since you know it's me, why bother to do this, get out of the way, I have to rush back to Fengyi Palace to do something." Then he wanted to go straight ahead.

Qiu Yan stopped her with a smile and said, "Auntie, don't worry, we haven't finished talking yet, I said that a celebrant lost a treasure before, we are anxiously looking for it, if my aunt doesn't mind, can you let the little ones search their bodies?" You said that you quietly wandered around here in the middle of the night, but you can't make sense, right? ”

Qiu Gui was shocked and scolded angrily: "You didn't do a good job and lost something, and you dare to suspect me?" Go away, dare to touch me, you try? ”

However, Qiu Yan put away his smiling face, ignored her at all, and coldly ordered his subordinates, "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you do it quickly?" If Aunt Qiugui doesn't have anything on her, let's look elsewhere! ”

"Yes."

The little eunuchs hurriedly stepped forward, ignoring Qiu Gui's resistance at all, laying on their hands and searching their bodies, and after a while, they found a cloth bag from her.

Qiu Yan took it in his hand and checked it, felt the residual warmth of the medicine residue, and immediately relieved.

Seeing that he searched for things, Qiu Gui immediately understood that he had entered an ambush, although she regretted it very much, but she also knew that she would lose too much at this time, so she didn't say anything anymore, and only stared at Qiu Yan coldly.

Qiu Yan sneered, but before he could say anything, another voice came from behind him.

"What is this doing?"

A few people looked back and saw that it was the chief manager Zhou Yu who came.
