306 Infighting
"Aunt Zhu Yong, I never mentioned that the spices in the third prince's house were tampered with, right?" Lin Su slowly showed a scheming smile, his eyes slid over Zhu Yong's body with contempt, and fell on Zhou Shuxian, who was sitting condescendingly on the chair and looking at him, and smiled mockingly, "Queen Mother, I think you have been listening to it outside the door for a while, can the concubine say that the spices in the third prince's house have been touched?" ”
Zhou Shude came at this time, and as soon as she entered the door, she was stunned when she looked at the situation in front of her. Then, he hurriedly let go of the hand of the maid next to him and quickly stepped forward to salute one by one.
Empress Dowager Zhao had slowly calmed down at this time, and she was naturally annoyed that someone wanted to try to kill her own grandson. However, she has spent most of her life in the harem, and she also understands that it is not anger that can solve all problems at this time.
Therefore, seeing Zhou Shude saluting himself, he said lightly: "Virtuous people are exempt from courtesy." Mama Zhang, give a seat. Mama Zhang immediately stepped forward to support Zhou Shude, and the little maid on the side neatly sent a cloth pier for Zhou Shude to sit on.
When everyone sat down again, Zhou Shude cautiously glanced at Zhu Yong, who was kneeling beside the queen, and then at Lin Su, who was kneeling in the middle, with a cautious expression on his face, and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?" Concubine Xian has only been out of confinement for a long time, and now that the weather is still cold, how can she kneel on the ground? ”
Empress Dowager Lan's face turned slightly bright, she took a sip of the tea on the side and did not speak. Empress Dowager Zhao smiled a little, and then said: "The noble people came just in time, and the mourning family heard that when you left this morning, you met the virtuous concubine at the gate of the mourning palace." Is there such a thing? "It didn't even mention that Linsu was still kneeling on the ground.
"Exactly, the concubine looked at the cuteness of the third prince in the arms of the concubine's sister, and couldn't help but step forward and praise a few words. If it weren't for the concubine's sister who wanted to say hello to the queen's mother, I was afraid that the concubine would definitely follow the concubine to the Fuliu Palace to see the three princes for a while. Seeing this, Zhou Shude didn't know what to think, but the smile on his face was even sweeter.
Hearing her take the initiative to talk about this, Lin Su raised his eyebrows slightly, and then said in a deep voice: "The noble man can testify that since the noble man touched the face of the third prince and praised him twice, the third prince was carried back to the Fuliu Hall by the nurse. ”
As if she didn't know anything, Zhou Shude met the eyes of the Queen Mother, the emperor, and the queen and nodded with a smile, "Yes, at that time, the concubine watched the nurse walk in the direction of Fuliu Palace." ”
There was silence in the hall, and everyone was silent. Lin Su secretly looked at Zhou Shude a few times, and found that this woman didn't seem to have noticed anything, and she didn't feel nervous or uneasy at all. looked so calm and comfortable that even Lin Su thought that he had wronged her.
Si Yue, who hadn't spoken much, opened his mouth lightly, "Qiu Yan, help your master get up." The weather is cold, if she kneels on the ground like this and hurts her body, I will definitely blame you minions! ”
Qiu Yan hurriedly went over to help Lin Su get up, and sat down at Si Yue's hand again, just facing Zhou Shude, and it was this angle that allowed Lin Su to see the almost twisted fingers that were slightly exposed under her sleeves.
She's actually still nervous.
Lin Su suddenly understood, and a smile slowly appeared on his face. It seems that her previous guesses about everything were not wrong, and the two sisters, Zhou Shuxian and Zhou Shude, have indeed officially teamed up to prepare to deal with her. As for whether Empress Dowager Lan knows or not, that's another matter.
It's a good opportunity, though. A good opportunity to completely bring down the Lan family and bring down Zhou Shuxian. Even if Empress Dowager Lan has nothing to do with this matter, I am afraid that in the end, Si Yue will not easily let go of her, the titular mother-in-law.
The power of the Lan family over the years has exceeded the royal family's tolerance for them, so the Empress Dowager Lan will have nothing to show in her life, and she can only raise Si Yue by her side for a period of time and act as her son. This is a signal that the former emperor is ready to get rid of the Lan family's control of the court. And Si Yue is not the kind of person who can tolerate others controlling him in the palm of his hand.
Therefore, he did not react when he knew that he might have attacked Zhou Shuxian, who was pregnant.
Lin Su flashed countless thoughts in his heart in a blink of an eye, and finally said in a low voice: "The concubine is incompetent, she can't even keep her own children, if it weren't for the cautious behavior of the imperial doctor and the imperial doctor Wu, and the good doctor, I am afraid that the concubine will think that the third prince is sick herself, not poisoned!" ”
"Third Prince......" Zhou Shude opened his mouth with surprise, "What's wrong with the Third Prince?" ”
"The noble people don't know, could it be that they are always rich and noble in the past, and they didn't tell you why they came to Fuliu Palace?" Empress Dowager Zhao's voice carried a hint of suspicion, "The third prince was poisoned, and the incident happened shortly after leaving the palace, so the palace sat here with everyone and asked about the situation at that time. ”
"Poisoned?" Zhou Shude was so frightened that she jumped up almost directly from the cloth pier, she took two steps back in a row, and tripped over the cloth pier behind her and fell to the ground, the whole person was embarrassed and panicked, and looked at the queen with disbelief, "It's not that it's just a red rash, so that the can't inherit the imperial ......."
She snapped her mouth shut, already aware of what she had said.
Empress Dowager Lan and Empress Dowager Zhao stood up together, Lin Su also got up, and Si Yue glanced at Zhou Shuxian with a cold expression, so frightened that she stood up before she slowly got up and walked to Zhou Shude.
"What the noble people said, I didn't hear it clearly just now, it's better to tell me again!"
Zhou Shude squirmed and desperately wanted to retreat away from Si Yue, "Concubine, concubine...... The concubine was just speechless for a while......"
"Momentary aphasia?" Si Yue sneered, and directly stepped on Zhou Shude's left hand with his upper foot, "Say it again!" ”
Zhou Shude didn't even dare to scream, and looked up with sweat on his head and looked at Si Yue's silent pleading. And Si Yue's only response to her was to step on her right foot harder, and Lin Su even felt that she heard the sound of Zhou Shude's finger bones breaking.
"Queen, queen, save your concubines! I'm your sister...... You're the one who told me that those things only give you red rashes! The unbearable pain finally made Zhou Shude's whole person collapse, she couldn't care about anything anymore, and shouted loudly: "You lied to me!" Zhou Shuxian, I'm your sister! You actually framed me and asked me to murder the emperor's heir and clear the enemies of the harem for you......"
