Lilac thought about it for a long time before deciding to come over to find Qu Wurong, the reason is that she watched her master being taken away with her own eyes this evening, thinking that maybe the next one might be herself, so she wanted to take advantage of the fact that Qu Wurong hadn't remembered herself yet, and found an opportunity to sneak out of the palace to hide, and then come out after the limelight passed.

But after waiting for a long time, she didn't find a suitable opportunity to get out of the palace, during this period she thought a lot, thinking about what she had done since she followed Qu Wuwu's side, thinking that she knew so many unsightly things about Qu Wuwu, the more she thought about it, the more she felt afraid, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was impossible for her to get out of the palace, maybe somewhere she couldn't see, someone was watching her every move, even if she could escape from the palace smoothly, she might not be able to get rid of these things, and she would definitely get into trouble when the time came!

Thinking like this, Lilac thinks that she shouldn't continue to help Qu Wuwu hide it, she can't protect herself now, let alone protect her, in case Qu Wurong and them find out the truth of the matter, knowing that they are actually insiders, they will definitely not let her go lightly, it is better to take the initiative to sue them while they haven't found out yet, so maybe they can make up for it.

After the battle between heaven and man for a long time, Lilac finally made up her mind, and hurriedly ran out to find Qu Wurong to confess the truth, but fortunately she made a decision in time, if it was one step later, Qu Wurong would no longer be in the palace, even if she wanted to make up for it, there would be no chance!

"You mean, the medicine was given to your mother by Mrs. Qu?" After listening to her tell the whole story, Qu Wurong couldn't help frowning and asked, "Did she take the initiative to give it, or did your mother ask her for it?" ”

"This slave doesn't know very well." Lilac shook her head gently, "Anyway, that day, the slave maid only saw Mrs. Qu hand over a medicine bottle to An Concubine Niangniang, and later saw An Concubine Niangniang take out the medicine bottle and look at it several times, at first the slave didn't know what the bottle of medicine was for, and then after the emperor had an accident, the slave and maid thought about whether it would be the medicine in the medicine bottle, so the emperor would be unconscious all the time." ”

Qu Wurong was silent for a moment when he heard this, and then asked, "What about the medicine?" ”

"The slave doesn't know." Lilac shook her head again, "That medicine bottle An Concubine Niangniang has always kept it close to her, and the slave maid only saw it when she took it out, and since the emperor fell into a coma, the slave and maid have never seen that medicine bottle again!" ”

After listening to her words, Qu Wurong raised her head and glanced at Xu Ke, and after the two exchanged glances, she continued to ask, "Why didn't you tell me about these things earlier?" ”

"How dare a slave?" Lilac said in a low voice, "You should also know Concubine An's temperament, if something hadn't happened to her today, even if she lent ten more guts, the slave wouldn't dare to talk more!" ”

This answer was expected by Qu Wurong, she pondered for a moment before she spoke again: "Okay, I know everything, you go down first." ”

"Concubine Niangniang......" Lilac looked at her hesitantly.

She didn't finish her words, but Qu Wurong had already guessed what she wanted to say, waved her hand and said: "According to what you just said, you didn't actually participate in the murder of the emperor, if what you said is true, then I can promise that I won't hold you accountable." ”

Hearing her say this, Lilac finally breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly saluted and thanked her, "Thank you, Concubine Niang!" ”

After she left the Qinzheng Palace, Xu Ke, who had been silent, finally asked, "Does Niangniang think what she just said will be true?" ”

"Whether it's true or not, we'll find out if we try it." Qu Wurong said, raised his head and glanced at him, "This is going to trouble Commander Xu to lead you." ”

Xu Ke looked at her puzzled, "What does Niangniang want to do?" ”

Qu Wurong heard the words and a smile on the corner of his mouth, and ordered: "You take a team of people to Qu Mansion now, although the person from the Hua family seems to be not afraid of heaven and earth, but in fact, she is not so bold, if the matter really has nothing to do with her, just scare and scare, she should tell the truth." ”

This is also a way, Xu Ke thought about it and nodded, "Then the subordinates will do it!" ”

"Well, go ahead."

After seeing him leave, Qu Wurong stood up and walked outside the hall, the sky was completely dark, tonight's night sky was missing the bright figure of Yueniang, I don't know if it was covered by dark clouds, the dark sky seemed to contain unknowns, maybe tonight was destined not to be peaceful!

Qufu.

Completely sleepy by the tossing and turning movements around him, Qu Xiaoliang simply lifted the quilt and sat up, and said angrily to the people around him: "If you don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you doing tossing and turning?" ”

Hua Shi also sat up, covered his heart with his hand and replied: "I don't know what's going on today, I always feel that this is not a good taste in my heart, as if something is going to happen, and I am very panicked!" ”

"Did you do something wrong again?" Hearing her words, Qu Xiaoliang couldn't help but glared at her, "How many times have I told you, don't you make trouble for me outside, don't you remember?" ”

"How can I get into trouble?" Hua Shi shouted wrongly, "Since that Qu Wurong came back from Bailiao Kingdom, all my thoughts have only been on how to keep our family's property, where is there any mind to cause trouble?" Besides, when will I cause trouble for you, you can make it clear to me! ”

Seeing that she grabbed her handle and didn't give up, Qu Xiaoliang didn't bother to waste more words with her, pulled up the quilt and lay down again, "If you want to sleep, lie down and sleep quickly, go out if you don't sleep, don't disturb me and I can't sleep well, I have to get up early tomorrow!" ”

"What do you do in the morning? Hasn't the emperor been in the early court for several days? Hua muttered dissatisfiedly, but also lay down as he said, closed his eyes and prepared to sleep.

But until the sound of her husband's sleeping snoring sounded beside her, Hua Shi still didn't feel sleepy at all, she didn't dare to turn her body like just now, for fear that she would wake up her husband and be scolded again, and after lying stiff for a while, she decided to get up and go out for a walk.

She sat up lightly, then stepped over her husband's body and got out of bed, took the coat that hung on the screen at the bedside, put it on, opened the door and walked out.

It was dark outside, and she couldn't even see a little moonlight, but fortunately, she had lived in this courtyard for decades, and she wouldn't fall down even if she walked with her eyes closed, so Hua Shi walked to the stone table in the courtyard and sat down.

Her eyes quickly adapted to the darkness, Hua Shi looked at the familiar scenery in the courtyard, and didn't understand where the inexplicable panic in her heart came from, she rarely felt such a panic, the last time she learned that Qu Wuji was accidentally infected with smallpox, why did she this time?

When she was dining tonight, she had also seen Qu Wuji at the dinner table, so she naturally knew that he was safe and sound, so could it be that something happened to Sorrow?

Thinking of this, Hua Shi felt that her heart seemed to be even more flustered, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that there must be something wrong with Qu Wuwu, so she, as a mother, would still have this feeling of panic, but now that it was so late, she couldn't enter the palace at this time to see what was going on!

Just when she didn't know what to do, the lights in the courtyard in the distance suddenly turned on, and then the lights of the entire Qufu were turned on, and Hua stood up and was about to go out to ask what was going on, when she heard a rush and powerful footsteps coming from far and near.

Before Hua could react, the courtyard gate was kicked open, and a team of people with torches broke into the courtyard, lined up from both sides of the courtyard gate, and the formation was so shocked that Hua forgot to ask.

And at this time, Qu Xiaoliang, who was already asleep, was also awakened by the movement outside the door, and walked out of the house with his clothes on his clothes to see what was going on. What are you doing in my house in the middle of the night? ”

"We were ordered by the noble concubine to ask Mrs. Qu about something." As the words landed, Xu Ke walked into the courtyard without a hurry, and hugged his fists towards Qu Xiaoliang, who was standing at the door of the bedroom, "If there is any disturbance, please forgive me!" ”

Hearing his words, Qu Xiaoliang was even more puzzled, "What is the matter with Humble Jing?" ”

Xu Ke didn't answer him, but turned his face to Hua Shi, who was also stunned next to him, "Before I left the palace, the concubine Niangniang received a report, saying that Mrs. Qu had sent a bottle of medicine to Concubine An Niangniang a few days ago, and instructed her to put this bottle of medicine in the tonic given to the emperor to take, and now the emperor is unconscious, so the concubine Niangniang asked me to ask Mrs. Qu to see if there is really such a thing?" ”

After listening to his words, Qu Xiaoliang also set his eyes on his wife, and at this time, the Hua family also came back to his senses from his stunnedness, and when he saw that they were all looking at him, he hurriedly defended himself: "It's all nonsense about you!" When did I instruct Concubine An to poison and murder the emperor? Don't spew blood! ”

"Mrs. Qu, don't be so excited." Guessing that she would react like this, the expression on Xu Ke's face didn't even change, and continued, "The noble concubine doesn't believe that Madam can do something rebellious, so she asked me to come to you in person to testify and see if there is any misunderstanding?" ”

Hua Shi was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then snorted coldly: "Will she be so kind?" I think she wants to get rid of me and Concubine An, so she came up with this excuse to slander us! ”

"Shut up!" As soon as her words fell, Qu Xiaoliang glared at her fiercely, no matter what unsolvable grievances there were between her and Qu Wurong, it was their Qu family's own business, there was no need to say it for outsiders to see the joke, how could she not even understand this rule?

After reprimanding his wife, Qu Xiaoliang turned his head to look at Xu Ke again, softened his tone and said, "Commander Xu, although I don't know who slandered Humble Jing like this, but I dare to vouch with my head that Humble Jing will never be able to do such a thing!" ”

"I understand." Xu Ke nodded, his hands behind his back, "But since someone said so, it is impossible for the concubine to ignore it, so I hope that Mrs. will cooperate, let's figure things out as soon as possible, and we can return Mrs. to her innocence as soon as possible, right?" ”

What he said was reasonable, Qu Xiaoliang thought for a while, and said: "There are a lot of people here, why don't you take Commander Xu to the house for a cup of tea, no matter what questions Commander Xu has, I will let Commander Xu tell you 1510, how about it?" ”
