Chapter 137: Hunger and thirst

"Why are you here?" A trace of worry flashed across Liu Heng's face, but it quickly turned into a dissatisfied look.

He naturally didn't want Yifang to come here at this time, firstly, because she was pregnant, and if she was stimulated by Tengling's matter, it might have an impact, and secondly, he didn't want Yifang to get involved in this matter, so he pushed everything to Tengling.

"Your Majesty, if the concubines don't come, there will be an unjust, false and wrongful case here immediately." Yifang's tone was unmistakable.

"The queen said that it was an unjust, false and wrongful case, but there is half a point of evidence?" Mrs. Shen sat up straight at this time, "The people who have touched the concubine's meal today, except for Princess Bailing, there is only Tengling, Princess Bailing is just a child, and she will definitely not drug her concubine." If you want to come, there is only the Tengling girl next to the queen's mother. ”

"Really?" Yi Fang stared at Mrs. Shen with blazing eyes.

Mrs. Shen's gaze was a little evasive at this time, and she didn't dare to look directly at Yifang: "Does the queen think that this matter will be done by Princess Bailing?" ”

"What nonsense? The princess is still so young, how could she do such a thing? Liu Heng reprimanded Mrs. Shen lightly.

"Your Majesty, isn't that what Sister Queen meant!" Mrs. Shen said, suddenly covering her stomach, "Oh, Your Majesty, the concubine's stomach hurts so much." ”

But before Liu Heng responded to her, Yifang stood in front of her first: "Mrs. Shen is really powerful, can she slip if she is not pregnant, and she still has a stomachache?" ”

"You, what nonsense are you talking about?!" Mrs. Shen was waiting to see a good show, but she didn't expect this play to happen to her, and she was suddenly taken aback, and even her eyes became frightened.

"Your Majesty, Mrs. Shen's previous pregnancy was a misdiagnosis by the imperial doctor, and after re-examination, the imperial doctors determined that Mrs. Shen was not pregnant, but she concealed the matter, not only did she not inform the emperor in time, but also wanted to frame the concubine because of this matter." Yifang said very calmly, but Mrs. Shen, who was sitting next to Liu Heng, suddenly lost her smile.

"What you said is true?" Liu Heng saw Yifang's words, and turned his head to look at Mrs. Shen.

"Your Majesty, there are no concubines, the queen must be trying to frame the concubines indiscriminately, so that her maidservants can get out." In order to implement this plan in a hurry, Mrs. Shen did not think very carefully in all aspects, and at this time she was completely panicked and began to say nothing.

"Really? Since Mrs. Shen didn't admit it, the concubine had to bring another person over to confront her. Yifang called out to the door, "Imperial Doctor Lu, come in!" ”

As soon as this person walked in, Mrs. Shen was really panicked. She didn't know where to go, and she was bent on how to get herself out of it.

"The ministers see the emperor, see the queen's mother."

"You don't have to be polite, tell me what's going on!" Liu Heng raised his hand to let him get up, and asked him to tell him the truth of the matter.

"Your Majesty, everything is as the queen said, it was indeed the minister's misdiagnosis at that time, so he misjudged that Mrs. Shen was pregnant. Later, when he checked his pulse again, he found out about it, and he was going to report it to the emperor, but he was stopped by Mrs. Shen. Imperial Physician Lu glanced at Mrs. Shen with resentful eyes, "The minister originally thought that Mrs. Shen was just too kind and didn't want the minister to be punished for this, but the minister never expected that after the minister left the palace, he was almost killed by two people." Both of these people were sent by Mrs. Shen, and they didn't want the truth of this matter to be made public. The minister escaped from the hands of the two killers by luck, so he met the queen mother directly, reported the matter, and got the blessing of the queen mother, and now he has the life to stand in front of the emperor, which is also the will of God. ”

"Shushen, what Imperial Doctor Lu said is true?" There was already a hint of anger on Liu Heng's face.

Mrs. Shen resented the Lu clan's incompetence in her heart, but at this time, resentment was useless, she could only rely on her own strength to minimize her losses.

"Your Majesty, the concubine did know that she was not pregnant, but the concubine didn't want the emperor to be sad, so she hid it, as for the killer, the concubine never knew about these things!"

"Since Mrs. Shen has long known that you are not pregnant, why is there such a farce of slippery tires today?" Yi Fang added a sentence in time, blocking Mrs. Shen's rebuttal in her throat.

"Emperor Mingjian, our lady actually didn't know about it, it was a slave maid, and it was all slaves and maids who wanted to harm the queen's mother, so they acted like this." The maidservant beside Mrs. Shen hurriedly jumped out to take the blame, but she was still too naΓ―ve, how could she bear such a thing alone.

"I didn't expect that Mrs. Shen could have such a loyal slave by her side, but since you said that all these things were designed by you, is it possible that Mrs. Shen's pain is also under your control?" Yi Fang smiled disdainfully, "This palace heard that the entire Huanning Hall where Mrs. Shen shouted just now can be heard, could it be that this is also your reason?" ”

The little palace maid really had nothing to say, so she just admitted her mistake vigorously, and just wanted to mix it up, so as to protect Mrs. Shen.

"Queen Mother, no matter what, the slippery pills in the diet really exist." Mrs. Shen thought that she would have to pull a cushion when she died, so she pointed to Tengling and said, "Even if the concubine is not pregnant, there are people who want to harm the concubine, what does the queen mother say?" ”

"I have indeed investigated the people who have touched the meal before, but in addition to Princess Bailing and Tengling, Mrs. Shen and the maidservants around me have also touched it." What Yifang said meant a lot.

"The queen mother said that this poison was caused by the concubine herself?" Mrs. Shen frowned, she didn't expect that all her plans had been seen through.

"Mrs. Shen is wrong, this is not poison, it is a slippery pill." Yi Fang stared at her with a smile, "It's okay for ordinary people to take the slippery fetal pill, even if it will damage the body, it will be fine after a while." Since Mrs. Shen knew that she was not pregnant, even if she ate all these drugged meals, there would be no problem. If you can bring down the main palace in this way, it will be a little damage to the body, and it will be negligible! ”

Yi Fang paused, glanced at Liu Heng again, and then added: "After all, the position of the queen is more important to Mrs. Shen than her own body, isn't it?" ”

"How can the queen slander the concubine like this!" Mrs. Shen suddenly became angry, turned around and knelt in front of Liu Heng, "Your Majesty, the concubine has no such intention, you can't let the queen mother frame the concubine like this!" ”

Liu Heng was about to help her up, but Yifang said again: "If Mrs. Shen is really pregnant, how can she get out of bed by herself in less than half an hour, and she still looks alive." If the emperor doesn't believe in the concubines, he will send someone to check the room of Mrs. Shen's personal maidservant, maybe the remaining slippery pills haven't had time to dispose of them! ”

"Shushen, since you said that the queen wronged you, then I will send someone to investigate?" Liu Heng's tone of voice to Mrs. Shen was still gentle, although he knew that she had done this, but it was not yet time to move her. If you want to deal with her, you must be uprooted along with the people behind her.

"This ......" Mrs. Shen finally reached an impasse, she naturally knew that what Yifang said was right, if she sent someone to search, what she found out would definitely be unfavorable to her, "Does the emperor really not believe in the concubine?" ”

"Even if I believe you, I have to come up with evidence and give everyone an explanation." Liu Heng patted Mrs. Shen on the shoulder.

Mrs. Shen was still hesitating, and Yifang snorted coldly: "There is no need for the emperor to send someone over in person, when the concubine came, she had already asked people to search the room of the maid beside Mrs. Shen, and the residue of the slippery pill has been found." ”

Yifang waved his hand, and someone brought the remaining medicines. Seeing that the physical evidence was here, Mrs. Shen couldn't say a word.

"Since it was found from the maid's room, maybe it was done by the maidservant, and it has nothing to do with Shushen." Liu Heng weakly defended her.

Yifang was sharp-tongued: "Even if the emperor wants to favor Mrs. Shen, he should find a good reason." Now that the evidence is in front of us, even if all the things were done by the maidservant, Mrs. Shen should be held responsible for a failure to discipline. ”

Although Yifang occupied the reason, he spoke so politely to the emperor, which still surprised everyone in the house. But only Zili knew that Yifang was really sad when she saw Liu Heng and Mrs. Shen being so affectionate in front of her.

"That's it, Mrs. Shen is indeed at fault in this matter, so I will punish her with a small punishment and punish her to be grounded in Huanning Hall for a month."

"That's it?" Yifang couldn't believe that she had made such a big mistake, and it was only a one-month confinement.

Liu Heng stood up suddenly, "That's it." That's it, and I don't have to mention it again. ”

Yifang was naturally very dissatisfied with this result, and wanted to say a few more words, but Liu Heng didn't give her this opportunity, stood up and left Huanning Palace.

Then Mrs. Shen also stood up: "Is the queen mother dissatisfied with the emperor's punishment?" It's a pity, this is the treatment of a favorite concubine, even if you make a big mistake, it's just a grounding. ”

Yifang turned around and sneered: "Favorite concubine? When you were a favorite concubine in this palace, you didn't know where to stay! ”

After she finished speaking, she walked out of the courtyard, but stopped when she reached the door: "Since the emperor has punished Mrs. Shen for grounding, it means that no one can enter or leave this Huanning Hall within a month?" ”

The eunuch next to him replied seriously: "What the queen mother said is that the rules of the grounding are like this. ”

"In that case, the same should be true of the people who brought the meals in the imperial dining room." Yifang took a deep look inside and said with a smile, "If people are hungry for a month, they shouldn't be able to live!" ”
