Chapter Sixty-Eight: Who Counts Whom?

A touch of anger rose in Concubine Rou's heart, but she didn't show it, but she smiled with a pale face: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a little too arbitrary. ”

Beiliuye snorted coldly and didn't pay attention to her anymore.

And Bei Liuxue, who had been standing aside without speaking, swept his eyes around the crowd, and finally landed on Chu Luoyi, his eyes were a little complicated, and he didn't speak for a long time.

"Ahh There was a shrill cry from inside the hall, and everyone who listened frowned.

Zhao Meiren sat on the ground, full of embarrassment, how could things have become like this? She had just been promoted to concubine today, and something like this happened to the queen.

raised her eyes and stared at Concubine Rou viciously, Concubine Rou swept over her, and she was a little uneasy in her heart.

This time, she couldn't see clearly, who was doing it behind her back, whether it was the queen, Ning Concubine, Zhao Meiren, or herself, they were all implicated, but in the end, no one got the benefits.

Even if he proves his innocence by luck this time, it will definitely make Emperor Beiyan feel suspicious, Ning Concubine was beaten into the cold palace, Zhao Meiren will not die well, the queen's vitality is greatly damaged, and I am afraid that she will have to cultivate for a long time.

Could it be that Concubine Shun, Concubine Shu and others moved their hands and feet?

Concubine Rou's gaze swept over several people, and finally frowned and retracted her gaze, only feeling a little sad.

On the other hand, Beiliuyun led people to search the nearby Shuihua Palace, and after finding nothing, he went to Zhao Meiren's Xitang Palace.

"Search carefully, don't miss anything." Beiliuyun said lightly.

"Yes, Your Highness the Nine."

The man stood in front of a dresser with pear wood and pine branches, his fingers curling slightly, tapping lightly on the tabletop, and looking around.

The neat room was soon thrown into a mess by the guards, and the sound of footsteps sounded everywhere in the room.

Beiliuyun sat on a wooden chair, leaned lightly on the back of the chair, clasped his fingers in front of him, closed his eyes and began to pretend to sleep.

Not long after, a packet of white powder was turned out of the jewelry box on the dresser.

"Your Highness the Nine, I found a packet of powder, I don't know what it is."

Beiliuyun glanced at it lightly and hooked the corners of his mouth; "Since you have found it, take it back first, and I believe that the imperial doctor will know what it is."

At this time, after taking the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor, the queen finally had some strength, her fingers grasped the brocade quilt on the bed, and under a wail, she finally gave birth to the child.

"Wow wow..."The child's voice was not loud, and even a little weak, but fortunately it was healthy.

After the midwife reported the child, she said to the emperor: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, you are a prince." ”

The emperor's face did not change much, but Concubine Rou and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that the competition for the throne has become more and more intense, a newly born prince can not affect any situation, if the queen gives birth to a princess this time, the status in the emperor's heart will probably change.

Now Beiyan is only two princesses, and Emperor Beiyan dotes on them very much, and it can almost be said that he responds to requests, and is far more loved than the princes.

When Bei Liuyun came back with people, the emperor had already returned the child in his hand to the midwife, and said, "How is the search?" ”

"Shuihua Palace.. There was nothing out of the ordinary, but a packet of medicinal powder was found in the West Hall Hall. As Beiliuyun's words fell, the guards beside him hurriedly presented the things in their hands with both hands.

The emperor frowned and opened it and handed it over to the imperial doctor for review.

Concubine Rou breathed a sigh of relief, but she also felt that His Royal Highness the Ninth was showing favor to her, but no matter what, she was in danger in the end.

Zhao Meiren was a little panicked, how could she find powder in her palace? What is that... What the hell is going on?

"Back to Your Majesty, this package of powder is lily of the valley powder, which is exactly the same as the powder on the embroidery."

Concubine Rou completely relaxed, Zhao Meiren looked at the imperial doctor who opened her mouth in disbelief, and shouted like crazy when she came back to her senses: "You are talking nonsense.. You are talking nonsense! I've never used anything like this! ”

The imperial doctor glanced at Zhao Meiren and said, "This Weichen doesn't know, but Weichen is sure that this is indeed lily of the valley powder." ”

Zhao Meiren turned her head to Beiliuyun on the side, and glared angrily: "You must have framed me!" It must be me, it's you... Definitely! ”

Beiliuyun chuckled: "Let's not say that I have no grievances with Niangniang, why do you want to kill Niangniang?" Just said that this bag of powder was searched by the guard commander in full view, and it was categorically not that I was going to harm my mother. ”

Zhao Meiren panted heavily, how could things be like this, she obviously thought that today was the day for her to turn over, she thought that as long as she did what Luo Yi said, she would be able to implicate Concubine Ning and Concubine Rou.... But why did he end up being the murderer of poisoning and murdering the queen? Right.. Luo Yi? What about Luoyi.... She must know what to do, and she must be able to save herself!

Zhao Meiren immediately began to search around the crowd, and was pleasantly surprised to see Chu Luoyi dressed in palace clothes in the crowd, a flash of light flashed in her eyes, and she was about to shout out when she opened her mouth.

"Lo .."

Unexpectedly, Beiliuyun interrupted Zhao Meiren's words again: "Father, now that the queen mother is safe and sound, it is really gratifying to congratulate her on the fact that there is no danger, and there are also a lot of strange things about Zhao Meiren, I don't know if it needs to be thoroughly investigated?" ”

Emperor Beiyan's face was still a little ugly, and he looked at Zhao Meidao on the ground: "I see that the evidence is conclusive, this femme fatale-hearted woman!" ”

"Your Majesty . . . The concubine is really wronged... The concubine is really wronged... This embroidered picture is really embroidered by the concubine... Yes, yes.. If Your Majesty does not believe it. The concubine can embroider another pair in front of everyone, yes, you can also ask the concubine to embroider another pair... Please embroider the girl to determine whose embroidery is on the picture of the hundred peons...."

Zhao Meiren suddenly became smarter, but it was a pity that the emperor didn't plan to give her this opportunity, and said to Beiliuyun: "Yun'er, my father is a little tired, and this matter will be handed over to you to investigate!"

"The retainers obey." Beiliuyun arched his hand.

Emperor Beiyan watched Zhao Meiren snort coldly and threw his sleeves away, and ignored Concubine Rou on the side, and a farce ended.

Zhao Meiren knelt down and crawled in front of Beiliuyun, grabbed Beiliuyun's clothes tightly, and said, "Your Highness the Nine.. You have to trust me... You have to trust me.... You give me a chance and I can really do it.. I can embroider another embroidery picture, and you can ask the embroiderer to compare the stitches.."

Beiliuyun's light eyes looked condescendingly at Zhao Meiren who was kneeling in front of him, and he didn't speak for a long time. Zhao Meiren's face was full of tears, and she looked so pitiful: "Your Highness the Nine.. Please.. Please.. Let me embroider another one, I can really do it..."

Concubine Rou on the side was slightly nervous, although the overall situation of this matter has been decided, it is still in the hands of this newly promoted Ninth Highness.

"Zhao Meiren don't have to worry, this palace will give you a chance to confess." Beiliuyun's thin lips opened slightly, but it made Zhao Meiren cry with joy.

Beiliuyun turned to Concubine Rou, who had not yet left, bowed down and said, "For the sake of fairness, I also ask Concubine Rou to also embroider a pair of embroidered pictures to facilitate the decision of the palace." ”

Concubine Rou smiled: "This is natural, it's just that Bengong's fingers are injured now, and I'm afraid that it will be difficult to complete such a large embroidery again in a short period of time." ”

"Concubine Rou Niangniang doesn't have to worry, because you don't need to prove that your fingers won't hurt, just simply embroider a small work, so that the palace can ask the embroiderer to distinguish the needle." Beiliuyun said.

Concubine Rou nodded: "Thank you, Your Highness the Nine, when you go back to the palace, you will have someone send the embroidered handkerchief." ”

Concubine Rou's figure gradually faded away, and everyone gradually dispersed, leaving only Beiliuyun and his party and the guards behind them.

Looking up at the blazing sun overhead, Beiliuyun turned back to the guards and said, "Go to the Shanggong Bureau to get a pair of embroidery drawings and needlework for Zhao Meiren and send them to Bibo Pavilion." ”

After the words fell, Beiliuyun turned around and looked around quietly, but found that she had already left, and immediately did not hesitate, and led a group of people to Bibo Pavilion.

Chu Luoyi saw that a good show had come to an end, so he didn't linger too long, and went back to the imperial dining room alone, but he couldn't help but linger for a moment by the Huaqing Pool.

The vast water of Huaqing Pond, surrounded by a gazebo, glows with a hint of coolness, which gradually calms the somewhat irritable heart.

The woman's gaze fell in the distance, there was no focus, but a faint mockery flashed, these rough hands will be stained with more and more blood, those vicious, kind, innocent people will also be inexplicably involved, one by one the dead souls will become a burden on her soul, and she knows that in this life, I am afraid that it will not die well.

Beiliuxue stopped not far away, looking at the woman standing next to Huaqing Pond and watching, dressed in plain palace clothes, gently blown by the summer breeze, her back was straight, but the thin body inexplicably made people feel a kind of majestic sadness.

Restrained his mind, those eyes gradually gained focus, and the swarthy still made people unable to see any thoughts.

Chu Luoyi turned around and saw the Beiliuxue standing not far away, bowed slightly, and planned to leave.

Beiliuxue said, "What is the purpose of your design?" ”

Chu Luo's body was slightly stunned, and he looked back at the man in a silver and white moon robe and said in a deep voice: "The slave doesn't understand what His Royal Highness is talking about? ”

Beiliuxue glanced at her lightly and said, "I don't care what you do, if you hurt my mother, I won't let you go." ”

The man's tone was calm and waveless, and his voice was clear and beautiful like a mountain spring, but his words contained a rare coolness.

Since His Royal Highness is so relieved, why not kill the slave and maid now to prevent future troubles. Chu Luoyi looked at him and chuckled.

Beiliuxue looked at the woman in front of her fixedly, and did not speak.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Chu Luoyi turned to leave, but his face was a little dark.

Back in the imperial dining room, Chu Luoyi has been a little absent-minded, this time, he is extremely cautious, it is impossible for Beiliuxue to detect himself, unless...
