At this time, Lu Ruoqing had just returned to the Zhenbei Palace.

She was still rejoicing, and said with a smile: "Although something went wrong tonight, Concubine Li Xian didn't rush to start at one hour or three, and finally let me come back safely." ”

Xiao Shaoxuan said: "Rest for a while." ”

Lu Ruoqing took his hand and lay down on the beauty couch.

Leaning on the soft embroidered pillow, he said: "As for the back, Concubine Li Xian can toss as much as she wants, anyway, I won't leave the palace, out of sight and out of mind." ”

"What do you do with her? It's all a subordinate. Xiao Shaoxuan was three points disdainful and seven points bored, and he was very disdainful of Concubine Li Xian's dirty methods, and felt that it was disgusting to say more.

Lu Ruoqing sighed: "Sometimes, it's the means that cause trouble to people." ”

I wondered in my heart, what does Concubine Li Xian plan to do in the future?

Even if Hongyao cried in front of the emperor, saying that she was stoned by the people of Zhenbei Wangfu, there was no evidence.

And after that? Let the red medicine have a misproduction, and then plant the Zhenbei Wangfu?

Xiao Shaoxuan saw her eyes flickering, and scolded her unhappily: "They all told you to leave it alone, what do you want to do?" It's just a conspiracy, and I'll let my staff discuss how to deal with it. ”

Lu Ruoqing smiled, "Okay, I don't think about it." ”

But......

She didn't want to, but she couldn't help but be troubled.

Someone from the palace soon came to spread the word, and he was still in a hurry, "The emperor summoned Princess Zhenbei to enter the palace." ”

Xiao Shaoxuan went out and asked, "What to do?" I also went into the palace at night. ”

It was the auspiciousness of the Jinluan Palace that was passed on, and Lu Ruoqing was familiar with it when she was a female official in the past.

So he whispered: "Hongyao Jieyu hanged herself." ”

Xiao Shaoxuan was taken aback when he heard this.

So fast?! That was his first reaction.

Damn it! Concubine Li Xian doesn't make people gasp.

"Red Medicine is dead?" Lu Ruoqing now had a big belly and covered it for a long time before she walked out slowly.

"It's not ......" Jixiang also had a little friendship with her, and said carefully: "It's rare to say that she is pregnant, and she should have raised a good baby to give birth to a prince to compete for favor, but she couldn't think of hanging herself." ”

"Wait, what do you mean?" Lu Ruoqing asked.

"Well." Ji Xiang seemed very hesitant, swallowed his saliva, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Princess, I told you with my head on my head." ”

Lu Ruoqing smiled, "I know, I accept your favor." ”

Ji Xiang said: "Now they all say that because Hongyao Jieyu said bad things about the princess, so you will ask someone to stone her to death secretly......"

"Fart!" Xiao Shaoxuan was furious when he heard this, "If you want to kill the red medicine, I will go directly to the front and hack it to death with a sword, and I can throw a broken stone, and I haven't been stoned to death for a long time." ”

"Okay, you listen to Jixiang first." Lu Ruoqing persuaded.

Ji Xiang shrunk his neck, and continued: "Anyway, that's what is said outside, and Hongyao Jieyu also believes it, so she cried and cried in front of the emperor for a while, wanting to sue, but was scolded by the emperor instead." ”

Xiao Shaoxuan snorted, "She deserves it, idiot!" ”

Ji Xiang smiled bitterly: "Who said it wasn't?" But now, Hongyao Jieyu hanged herself. They all said that it was ......, and said that because she was murdered by Princess Zhenbei and the emperor didn't give her the master, she couldn't think of committing suicide. ”

Lu Ruoqing pondered for a moment and instructed Mint, "Go, get a thousand taels of silver for the auspicious father-in-law." ”

Ji Xiang hurriedly said: "No need, no need!" That's too much. ”

Lu Ruoqing smiled, "If there are too many, just keep it first, and you will always have a chance to hand me a message in the future." ”

Ji Xiang's eyes rolled, and he smiled: "Okay, then I will ask for the princess's reward." ”

Mint quickly took out a thousand taels of silver tickets.

Ji Xiang accepted it with a smile, and then said, "Princess, you better go into the palace quickly." I see, the emperor should not suspect that the princess did it, but think that the princess has good medical skills, so let me go and see the cause of Hongyao Jieyu's death. ”

Lu Ruoqing smiled and said, "Okay, I'll come right away." ”

"Then I'll wait outside." Jixiang thought that she had something to say to Xiao Shaoxuan, so she didn't ask too much, so she withdrew with Xiaoxuan first.

Lu Ruoqing and the others left, and then said with a wry smile: "Look, this ......, I also said that we will let people set off a firework later, and let's enjoy it in the courtyard together, but we still can't rest." ”

Xiao Shaoxuan reluctantly, "Otherwise, don't enter the palace!" When I go, I will tell my father, after you come back, you have a headache and lie down, and you really can't get up. ”

"Don't, it's like being a thief." Lu Ruoqing said with a smile.

"But now that you are pregnant, you have tossed back and forth, and it is all night, and you have to light the lamp and boil oil to go to the palace, aren't you tired and panicked?"

"Besides, what if I want to let you have a big belly and go to see the corpse of the red medicine, and smoke you?"

"Otherwise, I'm scared by the death."

Xiao Shaoxuan said many reasons in one breath.

Lu Ruoqing persuaded softly: "I am very stable now, not so squeamish, and slowly enter the palace in a carriage." As for saying that they were smoked and frightened by corpses, it was even more impossible. ”

In her previous life, she was locked up in a prison for ten years.

In order to study medical skills, she has seen all kinds of strange disabled prisoners with her own eyes, and she is not afraid at all.

Lu Ruoqing said again: "Don't resist the order!" Besides, I also want to find out the cause of Hongyao's death, so if others are not at ease, I have to clear my suspicions. ”

It's easy to say, and Xiao Shaoxuan was finally convinced.

However, when she was about to go out, Lu Ruoqing was worried: "It's dark right now, and it's not good that Concubine Li Xian's people will be ambushed in the dark, so we have to deal with it." ”

Therefore, a total of three carriages were prepared, which were exactly the same, and twice as many guards were sent to open the way to protect and clear pedestrians along the way.

At present, in the thirties of the Chinese New Year's Eve, every family gathers together to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, talking, chatting and whatever, and there is almost no one on the street, which is very clean.

The journey to the palace was very smooth.

When he arrived at the main hall, the emperor was sitting in a chair drinking tea, and looked up, "Here it is." ”

Lu Ruoqing saluted first, and then said, "Father, my daughter-in-law has something to say alone." ”

The emperor put down the tea bowl and said, "All stand down." ”

Liu Jin hurriedly withdrew with someone.

Lu Ruoqing gave Xiao Shaoxuan a look and asked him to close the door.

Only then did he say: "There is one thing, it is me and Shaoxuan who hid it from my father, I ...... and I am already six months pregnant." ”

"Huh?!" The emperor thought he had heard something.

Lu Ruoqing took off her wide cloak and spread her hands, revealing her round belly.

The emperor looked at it a few times and said in surprise: "It's been six months since this ......?" Why don't I ever listen to you? ”

Lu Ruoqing smiled bitterly, "I'm not pregnant, and I'm always in trouble, let alone pregnant?" There was a little girl who secretly inquired about my diet, and later there was a matter of sending my son to the temple. ”

When the emperor heard this, he fell silent.

He naturally knew that what Lu Ruoqing said was the truth.

Lu Ruoqing continued: "Father, please understand your daughter-in-law's difficulties. ”

The emperor waved his hand, "That's it, it's serious for you to take care of the fetus, I will know it all the same sooner or later." ”

"Actually......" Lu Ruoqing sighed before saying: "If it weren't for today's incident, I would have planned to continue to hide my pregnancy and wait until I give birth." ”

"Still hiding? How can you hide your big belly? The Emperor was surprised.

"Isn't this Chinese New Year's Eve all over?" Lu Ruoqing explained with a smile and said: "I think that there will be no big day to enter the palace for the time being, just take care of the fetus, and it will be time to give birth in March and April." ”

The emperor thought about it for a while and understood, "Yes, the next time the palace holds a banquet, I have to wait until the Dragon Boat Festival in May." ”

Lu Ruoqing said: "My daughter-in-law told my father that she was pregnant today, not because she wanted to make herself do evil by being pregnant. ”

She smiled wryly, "But I want to say that my daughter-in-law only wants to raise a fetus wholeheartedly now, where will she go to get along with Hongyao Jieyu?" That's a never-ending thing. ”

The emperor naturally didn't believe it, Lu Ruoqing would kill Hongyao because of a sentence or two.

It's just that......

The emperor's face was gloomy, and he said: "Originally, I thought that I would appease the red medicine first, and then check carefully, and I would always find some clues, but the result was ......."

Lu Ruoqing said: "It doesn't matter, dead people also have clues." ”

The emperor was first shocked when he heard this, and then hesitated: "Are you sure that you can find evidence on the corpse of Hongyao?" ”

Lu Ruoqing replied: "The evidence may not be found, but if there is something strange, I can guarantee that I can see it." ”

The emperor was to order someone to carry the body of the red medicine in for an autopsy.

However, after looking at her belly, he hesitated, "You are now a double person, will you collide?" ”

Lu Ruoqing said: "It's okay, I know it in my heart." ”

The emperor knew that she had a very stable temperament and no medical skills, so he said: "Okay, wait for yourself to take it easy, if you feel uncomfortable, hurry up." ”

Xiao Shaoxuan also said: "Remember, don't be reckless!" ”

"Okay." Lu Ruoqing responded repeatedly.

She put on her cloak again, covered her belly, and sat down in a chair next to her.

The emperor called out to Liu Jin, "Let people carry the body of the red medicine over." ”

Liu Jin hurriedly went down and ordered.

A moment later, two little eunuchs came in carrying a corpse, which was covered with a white cloth.

Liu Jin was worried that the emperor would be disgusted when he saw it, so he hurriedly said: "The emperor's golden body, otherwise avoid it first, so as not to be hit by the filthy air." ”

The Emperor frowned, "No! I'm not a woman, I'm not that squeamish. ”

The son is not afraid, and the daughter-in-law is not afraid when she is pregnant, but he shrinks, doesn't he tell the younger generations to see jokes? Of course not.

Liu Jin didn't dare to persuade again.

Fortunately, Lu Ruoqing was clever and deliberately picked a position to block the middle between the emperor and the red medicine, and then lifted the white cloth.

Red Medicine had just died, and there was no filth in it.

It's just a miserable white face, a distorted expression, and it looks very hideous and terrifying.

---- faintly revealed a sense of resentment.
