Chapter 100: Winged Tiger

ChineseOutside the hall, Su Liuying saw everything in her eyes, and when she heard Imperial Doctor Wu's words, she felt strange in her heart.

“…… As long as she conceals her pregnancy, she can be executed according to the palace rules, and then the child in her womb will be buried in the ground with the death of Jieyu Niangniang......" Although Imperial Doctor Wu was talking about Sui Jieyu, Su Liuying felt inexplicably familiar, and something flashed in her head, so fast that she couldn't catch it.

Before she could come back to her senses from Imperial Physician Wu's words, she had already heard Emperor Huicheng asking Concubine Ning. Tonight's events, from the East Palace to the Changxin Palace, from the witchcraft to Sui Jieyu's punishment, to her pregnancy, everyone ignored the previous causes.

Up to now, everyone's eyes are only focused on Concubine Ning's collusion with the imperial doctor to murder Sui Jieyu, and even the eldest grandson in her belly has been removed, and her heart should be punished!

Under the deliberate guidance of Queen Lou, everyone had already decided that the child in Sui Jieyu's womb was no longer safe under Concubine Ning's cruelty, so no one cared about Sui Jieyu herself, but began to investigate the guilt committed by Concubine Ning.

Su Liuying brought Sui'er to the main hall. At that time, she had removed the thread from Sui'er's mouth, smeared it with medicine, and asked people to change her into clean clothes.

When changing clothes, Sui'er had heard that the crown prince and Empress Huicheng Emperor Lou had come to the front hall to protect herself, and her resentment towards Concubine Ning had reached the extreme, and she couldn't wait to go to the emperor immediately to sue Concubine Ning, and return to her ten times the humiliation and torture she suffered today.

Knowing that Su Liuying helped her change her clothes because she didn't want the emperor to see her miserable situation, so as to reduce her guilt for Concubine Ning, Sui'er insisted on refusing to change it, gritting her teeth and hating

"At this time, you know that you are afraid? I'm going to show the emperor all over my body and see how Concubine Ning tortures me!" The palace maids didn't dare to step forward and force Sui'er to change her clothes, and they couldn't help but look at Su Liuying, who had a heavy face.

Su Liuying knew that time was pressing, and the front hall might summon Sui'er to see her at any time. Just as Sui'er expected, Su Liuying really didn't want Emperor Huicheng to see Sui'er's bloodstained appearance.

More importantly, she wants to make sure that the child in Sui'er's belly is safe and sound? As long as the child in Sui'er's belly is fine, no matter how big the conspiracy of Queen Lou is, she can't frame Concubine Ning!

Su Liuying waved her hand and asked the palace maid to bring the big bronze mirror to dress and put it in front of Sui'er, so that she could face her embarrassed appearance of being covered in blood and mud, and said coldly

"Your appearance will indeed show two points of sympathy on the emperor. But don't forget, there is still the prince in the front hall, he is the most affectionate, there are so many beautiful flowers in the East Palace, you have fallen out of favor with him, if you let him see your ugly appearance now, do you think he will pity you more, or will he dislike you more and more from the heart? Hearing this, Sui'er's whole body trembled!

The prince is famous for her flowery heart, and she was just trying to be fresh at first, but now that the freshness period has passed, he has long stopped taking her seriously, watching other concubines bully her, and he will not help her say a word, and sometimes he will make fun of himself with them...... Such a man is the most ruthless, Sui'er knows that the way he is now, in the eyes of the prince, he will only be disgusted, and there will be no trace of pity!

Grief welled up in her heart, but Sui'er had a trace of remorse in her heart until this time, but she was so strong by nature, and she was even more unwilling to show remorse in front of Su Liuying, so she gritted her teeth and said coldly

"Now I don't care about anything else, I just want to avenge today's humiliation!" Su Liuying sneered

"What you have received today is really what Concubine Ning gave you? Have you ever thought about why Imperial Physician Wu wanted to lie to Concubine Ning about your pregnancy?! "Just now, Imperial Physician Wu slandered Concubine Ning in the main hall, and it was okay to deceive others, but he couldn't hide Su Liuying's eyes!

Looking at the overall situation, Su Liuying already knew in her heart that tonight all this was a game set up by Queen Lou. And now the situation is very unfavorable to Concubine Ning, and if she wants to break the situation, she can only start from Sui'er.

Sure enough, after listening to her words, Sui'er remembered Imperial Physician Wu's previous framing, and her heart sank with a 'groan' - yes, when she was in Yongkun Palace in the morning, Imperial Physician Hu also told Queen Lou that she was a happy pulse, how did she get to Concubine Ning, but he wanted to lie and deceive everyone that she was not pregnant.

Intuitively, Sui'er knew that someone was deliberately harming her, but she couldn't figure it out for a while. Look at the panic and confusion on her face.

Su Liuying said unusually calmly

"Imperial Doctor Wu is just helping people, and the person who really wants to harm you is the one who knows that you are pregnant!" Hearing this, Sui'er's whole body stiffened, thinking that she had never told anyone else except Queen Lou about her pregnancy, and an endless chill came to her heart, and she already believed Su Liuying's words a little bit in her heart.

But on the face, she still retorted

"How is that possible? The child in my womb is the Queen's own grandson! Looking at the panic between Sui'er's expressions, Su Liuying secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and said lightly on her face

"If I'm not mistaken, maybe the queen mother is worried that when you made a secret line for her, she knew some secrets that she couldn't see, so she wanted to take this opportunity to kill two birds with one stone and kill two birds with one stone......

"However, I believe in another possibility!" Sui'er was frightened by Su Liuying's words, but she, who had experienced nine deaths and a lifetime, understood the sinister nature of the deep palace more and more, and also understood that Su Liuying's guess was likely to be true.

She said with a white face and scarred lips

"What is possible?!" Looking at the horror in Sui'er's eyes, Su Liuying said coldly

"There is also a possibility that the queen will use you, or the child you have worked so hard to conceive, as a weapon against Concubine Ning......"

"From learning that you are pregnant, to finding out the witch villain who murdered Concubine Ning from your palace, to Imperial Physician Wu's deliberate deception and framing of your pregnancy. Don't you think it's all too coincidental?! ”

"It is really cost-effective to sacrifice your mother and son, but you can bring down a strong opponent and regain the power of the harem. Besides, there are so many concubines in the prince's East Palace, and most of them give birth to grandchildren, so they don't care about this child of yours......" Su Liuying's words were heartfelt, and Sui'er's face was as pale as a ghost.

Sui'er is already smart, and after Su Liuying said it, she couldn't help but remember that she braved the rain to beg Queen Lou last night, and she never saw herself.

After she said that she was pregnant, Queen Lou still didn't come out to see her. It wasn't until the next morning that Imperial Physician Wu confirmed that she was pregnant, that she suddenly changed her face and became better for herself.

And she also remembered that when she told Queen Lou that she would give birth to a white and chubby grandson for her, the expression on Queen Lou's face changed imperceptibly, and now that she thinks about it, the look on Queen Lou's face is disgusted...... Looking at Sui'er's description, Su Liuying knew that she had already been told by herself.

She handed the clean clothes in her hand back to Sui'er and said coldly

"Therefore, it is not Concubine Ning who wants to kill you and the child, it is Queen Lou. Are you still willing to continue to be a pawn for her?! Sui'er's hands trembled violently, and her eyes were full of panic.

In the end, she snatched the clean clothes from Su Liuying's hand and said fiercely

"I don't play any pawns. I just want my kids to be well...... If I let Concubine Ning go this time, can you let me go? "Sui'er is powerful in the end, and she knows how to talk to Su Liuying about the conditions at this time.

Su Liuying looked at her with heavy eyes, and after a long time, she said coldly

"Before you give birth to a child, Concubine Ning and I will not make it difficult for you again, but Lin Yan's death ......" For the rest of the words, Su Liuying didn't say that Sui'er knew that Lin Yan's death, she would not give up in the end.

Sui'er burst into tears and laughed sarcastically

"I know that in your eyes, I am a sinner, and I killed Lin Yan. However, before I entered the Changxin Palace on an errand, I was already a member of the prince's family, and my body was given to him...... He promised to take me into the East Palace, but I waited so long that I didn't get anything......"

"Maybe in his eyes, I am just one of thousands of palace maids, but in my heart, he is my only man. In order to get back to him, I had to take every opportunity I could...... People don't die for themselves, and if time were to do it all over again, I would still do it! After speaking, Sui'er changed her clothes with a white face.

When she saw the dirty pants she had changed, Su Liuying's heart finally put down the big stone and quietly wrapped her dirty pants...... Su Liuying appeared in the main hall with Sui'er, and suddenly, everyone's eyes shifted from Concubine Ning to Sui'er.

Seeing Sui'er's neat appearance, everyone was puzzled, and even Emperor Huicheng looked sideways slightly.

Emperor Huicheng had heard Queen Lou say that Sui Jieyu was tortured by Concubine Ning, and she was miserable, and she thought that the child in her belly would not be able to be saved, thinking that she must be tortured at the moment and panting, but she didn't expect that in addition to her face being a little pale, her description was clean and neat, and she did not look miserable.

Seeing Sui'er appear in front of people like this, Queen Lou's eyes darkened unconsciously. In front of Emperor Huicheng, Queen Lou suppressed the depression in her heart, and stepped forward with the prince to care for Sui Jieyu.

When Queen Lou's hand touched Sui'er's hands, she seemed to have been bitten by a poisonous snake, and she couldn't help but tremble slightly!

Queen Lou's heart became more and more suspicious, her phoenix eyes narrowed, and her cold eyes swept towards her face. Sui'er's whole body trembled, for fear of being discovered by Queen Lou, so she fell into the prince's arms and said in a trembling voice

"Your Royal Highness, you are finally here, the concubine is scared ......" On the other side, Su Liuying stepped forward to help Concubine Ning, who had collapsed on the ground, and turned her head to Emperor Huicheng

"Your Majesty, the child in Sui Jieyu's belly is intact. Niangniang herself had a miscarriage and lost her beloved son, how could she kill Sui Jieyu Niangniang? It's just that she searched out something from her incense hall in public, as the master of the palace, Niangniang naturally wanted to punish Sui Jieyu with a small punishment to show convincing the public, but it didn't hurt the child in her womb! As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar!

Everyone, including Concubine Ning, thought that Suijieyu would definitely not be able to protect the child in her womb after a toss tonight, but she didn't sincerely think that Sui'er, who was born as a palace maid, had a good body, so she survived it, and the child in her womb was unscathed!

Queen Lou's eyes darkened unconsciously, she knew very well in her heart that no matter how big a problem Concubine Ning had, as long as Sui Jieyu's baby was still there, she would eventually get out smoothly!

On her face, she looked excited and happy, and affectionately took Sui'er's hand and asked for warmth, describing herself as a good mother-in-law.

And when she heard that Sui'er's child was fine, the happiest person was Concubine Ning, who was so frightened that her soul finally fell back into her heart.

Sui'er also knelt down in front of the main hall and said resentfully

"Your Majesty, the slave maid has never framed Concubine Ning, but she inexplicably found a wooden man from the dormitory...... And this dog slave was diagnosed in front of the queen mother in the morning, but when she arrived in front of Concubine Ning, she said that the slave was eating...... Your Majesty, the slave maid is pregnant with the prince's own flesh and blood, and Imperial Doctor Hu deliberately wants the slave and maid to lose the child. A little imperial doctor dared to murder the emperor's heir, it was too bold! I also ask the emperor to administer justice for the slaves and maids! In the past, Sui'er would definitely seize the opportunity to bite Concubine Ning to death, but after hearing Su Liuying's words, she no longer stared at Concubine Ning and didn't let go, but instead held these grudges on Imperial Doctor Wu.

Imperial Physician Wu said in a panic

"Jieyu blames the wrong micro-minister, we-chen just listens to the words of the mother and does things, but all things we-chen can't do the master's ......"

"Dare to ask Imperial Doctor Wu, which lady do you listen to and do things? There are two mothers here, the queen and Concubine Ning, you have to make it clear, so as not to misunderstand! Su Liuying looked at Queen Lou with cool eyes, with a smile on her face, and her heart jumped when she looked at Queen Lou.

Mo Ran, Queen Lou's heart began to get nervous for no reason, and her fingers unconsciously tightened her fists under her wide sleeves.

And Concubine Ning finally came out of the beaten situation, looked at Imperial Doctor Wu who was obviously starting to panic with fierce eyes, gritted her teeth and sneered

"Yes, Imperial Doctor Wu, there are two mothers in this hall, the palace and the queen, don't recognize the wrong master with your dog's eyes open!" The meaning of Concubine Ning's words is already very clear, that is, she is saying that the person who instructed Imperial Doctor Wu to frame herself is Queen Lou!

Emperor Huicheng sat on the top, looking at the people below him with a deep and uncertain look, and his expression was already secretly angry.

Queen Lou couldn't sit still anymore. She got up and knelt down in the middle of the hall, looking sad and indignant

"Your Majesty, since the birthday banquet, the concubines have lived in a simple place, and they don't care about the disputes in the palace every day except for the Buddha. If it weren't for Sui Jieyu who fled into the concubine's Yongkun Palace overnight to ask for help, the concubine didn't know about the grievances between her and Concubine Ning, and naturally she wouldn't know that she was pregnant. Now he has been slandered by insinuations and has become the person who instructed Imperial Doctor Wu!? ”

"Your Majesty, Sui Jieyu's belly is Xian'er's first child, the first grandson of the concubine, the concubine is too late to be happy, how can she risk her grandson's life. The concubines have promised to wait for Sui Jieyu to give birth to a child safely, and the concubines will raise her as the prince's side concubine, and the concubines are overjoyed, how can they become vicious people who even their grandchildren want to kill? ! Seeing Queen Lou speak, Imperial Physician Wu also knelt down in the middle, straightened his waist, and said righteously

"This matter has nothing to do with Queen Lou, everything is a mistake done by Wei Chen who succumbed to Concubine Ning's power for a while...... Weichen regretted it, but fortunately, Sui Jieyu was pregnant and did not cause any major problems. Wechen voluntarily died to overcome the mistakes committed today, and I hope that Your Majesty will fulfill them! With that, Imperial Physician Wu's forehead slammed down on the ground, and he bleed directly.

Seeing that his attitude was so strong, Emperor Huicheng hesitated for a while, not knowing what to believe?

Su Liuying said respectfully towards Emperor Huicheng

"The slave maid has a few words I want to ask Imperial Doctor Wu, and I ask the emperor for permission!" Emperor Huicheng frowned and stroked his forehead, and his chin should be lowered.

Hearing Su Liuying speak, the eyes of Queen Lou and the crown prince both looked at her and Imperial Doctor Wu. Imperial Physician Wu suppressed the panic in his heart and said coldly

"Whatever the girl wants, ask it. So far, the old man knows everything, and he has said everything......"

"In that case, the slave maid is here to thank Master Taiyi!" Su Liuying smiled gently, took two steps forward, and looked at Imperial Doctor Wu with a calm face for a moment, and said

"When and where did the adult take Sui Jieyu's pulse and find out that she had something happy?" Imperial Physician Wu said in a deep voice

"This morning, the queen summoned Weichen to go to Yongkun Palace to help Jieyu Niangniang take the pulse and find her happy pulse."

"It is a big deal that the harem concubine is pregnant. But such a major event, why didn't Taiyi Wu file it in Tai Hospital? "The medical diagnosis of the harem concubines, and even the request for a safe pulse, must be filed in the hospital, one is to record the physical condition of the concubines, and the other is to make reference for future medical consultations.

And the concubine is pregnant is not trivial, because after pregnancy, it is necessary to taboo some drugs and food that hurt the fetus, and the daily fetal medicine hospital must also prepare every day, and a special doctor is dispatched to prepare medicinal food for the pregnant woman's pulse, so everything is careful and careful, and negligence must not be half a point.

Doctor Wu has served in Tai Hospital for decades, and he will not forget even this most basic thing! Moreover, once a concubine is found to be pregnant in the palace, the hospital must report it to the person in charge of the palace as soon as possible, and the person in charge of the palace will check the file of the respectful room to see whether the date of conception of the pregnant concubine is consistent with the time of favor.

From beginning to end, Concubine Ning was completely unaware of Sui Jieyu's pregnancy. Before Su Liuying entered the hall, he asked the other three doctors of the Tai Hospital who were guarding outside the hall, and they told Su Liuying that the Tai Hospital did not know that Sui Jieyu was pregnant.

That's why she unexpectedly asked about Imperial Doctor Wu's filing! Cold sweat trickled down, Imperial Physician Wu looked up at Emperor Huicheng, who was waiting for his answer with a frosty face, his eyes swept over Queen Lou quickly, and finally gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice

"It was when the old man told Concubine Ning that Sui Jieyu was pregnant, and Concubine Ning asked the old man to hide it...... The mother didn't let the old man report to the hospital, and even let the old man lie in front of everyone to hide Sui Jieyu's pregnancy! "Doctor Wu learned what he said, and what he said before, but it was put together.

Queen Lou's clenched fists slowly loosened, got up and sat down on the soft chair on the side, and took a shallow sip of the tea in her hand.

But Concubine Ning turned pale and said sharply

"Old horseman, I haven't seen you in this palace today, you don't want to spew blood here!" But Su Liuying knew that Imperial Physician Wu had indeed come to Changxin Palace today.

Everything, he was prepared. She reassured Concubine Ning not to worry, turned her head and calmly looked at Imperial Doctor Wu who had recovered her strength, a cold glint flashed in her eyes, and said slowly

"As you said, Niangniang asked you to hide Sui Jieyu's pregnancy because Niangniang wanted Sui Jieyu's life, and teamed up with you to hide her pregnancy, and then executed her according to the palace rules, and then the child in her womb was buried in the ground with Jieyu Niangniang's death, and no one knew......"

"Exactly!" Imperial Physician Wu replied crisply.

"When the adult promised Concubine Ning to join forces to murder Sui Jieyu, he didn't remind Concubine Ning that the queen mother knew that Sui Jieyu was pregnant? Since the queen knows about Sui Jieyu's pregnancy, if Concubine Ning kills Sui Jieyu again, won't she kill herself? ”

"And you are her accomplice, if Concubine Ning has an accident, you can't get out of it, don't you take Concubine Ning's life seriously, don't you even care about your own life?! As the adults themselves said, you have served in the palace for decades, and you will not even be unable to think of this! With Su Liuying's questioning, Queen Lou and Imperial Physician Wu were shocked again.

And Emperor Huicheng finally noticed that the situation was unusual, and his eyes glared at Imperial Doctor Wu like torches. Imperial Physician Wu's whole body was shocked, and he couldn't lie for a while, and stayed on the spot with a pale face.

Su Liuying took advantage of the victory to pursue and said coldly

"You knew that Queen Lou knew about Sui Jieyu's pregnancy, but you deliberately concealed it, led Concubine Ning to jump into the trap, deliberately let her hurt Sui Jieyu's child, and let her commit the great crime of murdering the emperor's heir!"

"Imperial Doctor Wu, who is the master who has the same heart as you? Don't say it's Concubine Ning anymore, none of the grasshoppers on the rope will take the initiative to betray their accomplices. Up to now, anyone can see that you are deliberately framing Concubine Ning, and there is another instigator behind you! Under Su Liuying's layers of questioning, Imperial Physician Wu finally panicked, and his eyes trembled even more after seeing a piece of blue silk handkerchief handed to Queen Lou, and his old face was no longer bloody.

The next moment, he roared in pain

"Yes, I did it all on purpose...... I had a good friend who worked as an errand in Xianfu Palace before, but because of Concubine Ning's miscarriage, he was beaten to death by an innocent stick...... I hate Concubine Ning, I want her to die, ......" After that, her eyelids rolled and she fainted on the spot!

The scene fell into a dead silence for a while, Emperor Huicheng looked at the person kneeling in the hall with heavy eyes, and the cold eyes finally fell on the queen Lou who was sitting quietly on the side, and her heart was full of ice and snow, and she said coldly

"What does the queen think about this matter?" Queen Lou's hands trembled slightly, but the next moment she stood up generously and said

"Now Sister Ning is in charge of the palace, and this matter is also caused by Imperial Doctor Wu and her personal grudge, the concubine thinks it is more appropriate to hand it over to Sister Ning to deal with herself!" With that, she said softly

"Since Sui Jieyu is fine, and the concubine is also at ease, let the prince take her back to the East Palace to rest, and Your Majesty should rest early." She led Sui Jieyu and the prince out together, while instructing Sui Jieyu to pay attention to all kinds of precautions for raising the fetus, but she didn't even look at Imperial Doctor Wu who fainted at her feet.

Seeing Queen Lou leave as if she had nothing to do, Concubine Ning gritted her teeth with hatred, but she couldn't help her.

Emperor Huicheng's face was tired, and he looked at Imperial Doctor Wu on the ground and said coldly

"Since he can't bear his old friend, send him down to accompany her!" After speaking, he looked at Concubine Ning, who was also haggard, with a depressed face, and said coldly

"I handed over the harem to you because I wanted you to keep the harem in a harmonious manner, instead of making noise all day long. This time, don't let me down again! Concubine Ning's whole body sank, and her heart swelled with sourness, and she said aggrievedly

"Your Majesty, you and I know the truth of the matter. As long as Imperial Physician Wu wakes up and tortures him to extract a confession, he will definitely recruit the instigators behind the scenes...... The concubine is really wronged! Emperor Huicheng's eyes were gray, his expression was as cold as frost, and he said coldly

"In a few days, King An will return to Beijing, and then, General Dingguo will also lead hundreds of thousands of troops from the Northern Expedition back to the DPRK...... At this time, there should be no chaos. Hearing this, Concubine Ning's whole body collapsed weakly, and she finally understood that the return of King An and Lou Yue, Queen Lou was like a tiger, and no matter what she did at this time, the emperor would not pursue it...... Hearing that Lou Yue was coming back, Su Liuying couldn't control the joy and excitement in her heart, and asked in a trembling voice

"Your Majesty...... Is the prince coming back? Looking at her, Emperor Huicheng's expression softened for half a minute and nodded.

At that time, Lou Yue, who was thousands of miles away, had no intention of sleeping. He looked at the night sky in the south and asked Nanshan

"Everything...... Are you all set? Nanshan said in a deep voice

"It's all set!" After that, Nanshan looked at Lou Yue with a solemn expression, and finally hesitated to ask the question in his heart.

"Master...... Have you really decided? Rumo's cold eyes were as deep as the sea, and Lou Yue said coldly

"What I promised her, I will definitely do!" Cat flutter Chinese
