She wondered, how could there be something with herbs there?

She had just sprinkled a little red powder.

The Queen Mother said angrily: "It's just nonsense, come on, drag this girl out and kill her!" ”

"Niangniang save me, what the slave said is the truth, Niangniang wants to save the slave." Qiu Ju cried and struggled.

"The emperor has arrived!" At this time, suddenly a loud cry came.

The bright yellow dragon robe fell into the corner of Shu Mingyu's eyes.

Su Mingyu took the opportunity to deliberately bump into Gonggong Gao and spilled the things in his hand.

The wrapped things fell to the ground, and the dregs of medicine all over the ground, a piece of prescription, and a bag of tips were all spread out in front of the emperor's feet.

When Shu Mingyu saw Concubine Liu at this time, her face changed.

"Mother, what's going on here? It's such a mess. The emperor frowned and said dissatisfied.

"It's nothing, it's just that the palace maid's hands and feet are not clean, and the mourning family is letting her father-in-law take it down and dispose of it."

The Queen Mother took a stroke of the aisle.

"Your Majesty, the slave and maid are wronged, and the slave and maid are really wronged." Qiu Ju wept mournfully.

"Bold and cheap, dare to be so presumptuous in front of the emperor, come to Fu, what are you doing, don't hurry up and take people down, so that the emperor will be bored by looking at it." The Queen Mother ordered.

"Wait!" The emperor gently raised his hand to stop him.

"The emperor is-" The Queen Mother looked at the emperor puzzled.

"Since this girl has been wronged, I must give her a chance to explain."

The emperor sat down with a light smile, and he said, "Tell me, which palace you are from, what your name is, and how the Queen Mother wronged you, tell me." ”

"Back to the emperor, the slave maid is the palace maid on the side of the lady concubine of Fenghua Palace. The slave maid appeared here only because Rui'er from the Xiling Courtyard came to the slave maid last night, saying that she would not be blind to death, and asked the slave maid to find out the things for her, saying that naturally someone would find the murderer for her. That's why the slave went to Rui'er's room to look for it, and really found what Rui'er said, which was what was sprinkled in front of the emperor. Qiu Ju said.

"Oh?" The emperor's eyes wandered, and his gaze unintentionally fell on Su Mingyu's body, and he said, "Huh? Why is Jiahui here today? ”

Shu Mingyu hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Jiahui came here just because Xiaozhu dreamed last night, and she said that her murderer would appear in this Lengcui Palace today. ”

The Queen Mother's eyes were deep and she couldn't see anything.

The queen's mother held a pair of red phoenix eyes slightly, as if she was smiling.

Concubine Liu seemed to be a little tired, and her expression was not very good. The lady concubine is still the same, with a faint expression.

The emperor's thick eyebrows were slightly crossed, and he glanced at the things on the ground.

"Grandpa Lu, bring the things up and show them to me."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Father-in-law Lu handed the prescription and the bag to the emperor's hand, the emperor glanced at the prescription lightly, and then pinched the remnants of the sachet in his hand, his expression was shocked, and he said coldly: "Father-in-law Lu, go to the hospital to send the doctor over." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After a while, Imperial Doctor He from Tai Hospital carried a medicine box and followed behind Grandpa Lu out of breath.

When he saw the emperor, he immediately stepped forward to pay respects.

The emperor waved his hand and ordered: "I ordered you to look at this prescription and check this medicine residue again, understand?" "A look of authority without anger.

Imperial Physician He's body trembled, but he still squatted down, took the prescription in Gonggong Lu's hand, and then checked the medicine residue and smelled it.

When he checked, his expression changed slightly, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"How's it going?" The emperor's prestige was revealed, and he approached Imperial Doctor He.

"Back to the emperor, this prescription is for typhoid fever, and there is nothing wrong with it. It's just that there is an extra hint of realgar in this residue, and the dose of this realgar is very large, which is undoubtedly a life-threatening poison for people who are already weak. Doctor He replied.

"There's nothing to do with you here, you can go back." The emperor's face was slightly gloomy, and he brushed his sleeves and said.

Imperial Physician He got up tremblingly, and he retreated with trembling steps.

The emperor was furious, and his eyes approached Concubine Liu's mother. "Concubine Liu, are you guilty?"

Concubine Liu's expression changed slightly, but she was still calm, and she knelt down and said, "The concubine doesn't know." ”

The emperor threw the piece of paper in the bag at her feet: "Take it and look at it yourself." ”

Concubine Liu stretched out her hand tremblingly, she took the piece of paper in her hand, and her face suddenly turned pale.

"Tell me, why did you do this?" The emperor forced his eyes.

"Last time, Princess Ning bumped into the concubine, causing the fetus in the concubine's womb to be almost unsafe, and the concubine was already unhappy. When her maid saw the concubine that day, she didn't salute. The concubine was angry, so she was taught a lesson. ”

Who knew that she slipped into the lotus pond and lost her life, and the concubine also regretted it. But I didn't expect Rui'er of the Xiling Courtyard to blackmail the concubine and threaten the concubine because of this matter, and the concubine had no choice but to make this decision. The concubine body is also for the fetus in the womb, God knows how many people in this harem want to kill my child. Concubine Liu pleaded guilty immediately.

Su Mingyu couldn't help but be shocked, she thought it wasn't so easy to force her to confess, but she didn't expect it to be so easy?

Her red light powder and follow-up arrangements don't even need to appear on the stage.

But according to what she said, did Xiaozhu really lose a life just because he didn't do the etiquette?

Su Mingyu couldn't help but stared at Concubine Liu.

The emperor looked at Concubine Liu sadly, and a strange light crossed his eyes.

"Come on, Concubine Liu Niangniang is jealous and immoral, killed two people in a row, lost the respect of the concubine, should have been executed, read that she was pregnant with a dragon seed in her belly, and she was kind from outside, and she took off and landed for Wanyi today, moved to the Xiling Courtyard, and thought about it behind closed doors." The emperor brushed his sleeves away.

"Thank you for the emperor's grace, long live long live long live." Concubine Liu said.

"The mourning family is also tired, come to Fu, go back to Cining Palace."

The Queen Mother took a deep look at Su Mingyu, and that glance made Su Mingyu suddenly feel cold in her heart.

Why did the Queen Mother look at her like this?

Could it be that Concubine Liu has any relationship with her? Turning around, she asked the Blazing Gate to check it out.

The queen patted Shu Mingyu on the shoulder: "Jiahui, you are for a girl-"

She didn't say anything, but Shu Mingyu completely understood.

The queen sighed softly and left.

Leaving Concubine Niangniang, she walked past Su Mingyu and said lightly: "You, you are too impulsive today." ”

Before Shu Mingyu could react, she had already walked away.

Did she really do something wrong?

Blood debts and blood repayment are justified, the prince and the common people are guilty of the same crime, and no one has the right to easily deprive others of their lives, isn't it?

Su Mingyu returned to King Ning's Mansion with great doubts.

Late at night, in the courtyard of the Xiling Mausoleum.

The emperor sat on the soft collapse, and his eyes were deep and sharp at Concubine Liu.

"Tell me, who is that person you want to protect?"

"The concubine doesn't understand what the emperor said?"

The current Concubine Liu is described as haggard, disheveled, with her hair in a messy bun, where is she still charming and generous.

The emperor stared at Concubine Liu fiercely, his deep black bright pupils crossed a grim and absolute light.

"Then Concubine Ai should also understand that the royal bloodline must not allow the slightest confusion."

Concubine Liu's face immediately turned pale and she sat down on the cold granite slab.

"Here's someone, give me medicine!" The emperor had a gloomy face and walked away.

Father-in-law Lu came up with a bowl of black and hot medicinal juice. "Mother, please."

Concubine Liu stared at the bowl of medicinal juice, her pupils were slightly open, she got up tremblingly, and her hands trembled to take the bowl of medicinal juice.

Gritting her teeth, she drank all the bowls of medicinal juice.

The pain, immediately in her abdomen, burned like a blazing fire.

In less than a moment, blood, bewitching blood, soaked out of her lower body, stained her Luo dress, and stained the white and cold ground.

That night, the personal maid Ginkgo biloba on the side of Concubine Liu hit the wall and died, and the blood splashed on the snow-white palace wall of the Xiling Courtyard, and the other palace maids who served the Shuangyan Palace were all sent out of the palace and sent to the nunnery to pray for Concubine Liu.

And those eunuchs were sent back to their hometowns in a secret way.

At the same time, Qiu Ju, the palace maid of Fenghua Palace, was found hanging herself in her room.

And on the morning of the second day, on the pretext that he was too old and could not bear the heavy responsibility, he told the old man and returned to his hometown.

When the news reached King Ning's mansion, Shu Mingyu's expression was gloomy, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

After Concubine Liu's incident, Shu Mingyu began to become more and more lazy.

She was listless in everything, occasionally smiling, but also shallow, with a cold light that mocked the world.

The Three Sage Kings, the Fourth Prince, the Sixth Prince, and the Ninth Princes all came to visit her, and she all shirked it because she was unwell.

Mu Qingyou and they also came to see her a few times, and she also avoided her.

She stayed in her room all day studying one thing, and that was the cause of Concubine Liu's death.

What she was puzzled about was that since Concubine Liu was pregnant with a dragon seed, it was impossible for her to be stupid enough to commit suicide by taking poison.

Because this kind of thing is often seen in the harem, if she gives birth to a prince or princess in the future, the emperor will definitely be gracious and pardoned, and she will still be her concubine Liu Niangniang in the future, and the scenery is infinite.

With such a simple thinking logic, it is impossible for Concubine Liu, who is a noble concubine, not to know her situation, and there is no need for her to drive herself to a dead end.

So what is the reason why she must choose the path of death?

Could it be the Queen Mother?

A light flashed through her mind, and she didn't forget the cold eyes of the Queen Mother.

When she was guessing the reason inexplicably, the palace housekeeper stepped into Mingyue Xuan with two clever and lovely girls.

"Princess, the princess asked the servants to send two girls to the princess to take care of the princess's daily life. Look at these two girls, okay? ”

The housekeeper looked at him and called the two girls behind him to stand up, so that Shu Mingyu could take a closer look.

Su Mingyu glanced at her lightly, and she said: "You went back to the prince, just say that this princess is not in the mood to choose a girl recently, the two of them, other places in the house can be arranged, you can arrange it." ”

She didn't look at the butler, but raised her hand and waved.

Seeing this, the palace housekeeper only got the study and returned to Xilingyue.

After hearing this, Xi Lingyue's expression was indifferent, and he sighed lightly.

"Just do as the princess commands, go."

The housekeeper of the palace didn't say anything, led the two girls down, took them to the kitchen Aunt Wang, and arranged a position to clean the courtyard.
