Chapter 4: The Dark Tide is Surging

Lu Luoxi's brows furrowed tightly.

The cook just died.

It's a bit too coincidental.

The father-in-law explained, "When the slaves and maidservants arrived in the kitchen, the cook had already hanged himself. ”

When the emperor heard this, he was naturally angry.

"The cook can take the life of Concubine Qin with one cheap life?!"

"Someone's coming!"

"Bring me all the people in the kitchen!"

"The chef is all over the house!"

"Father." Lu Luoxi bowed and knelt down.

"Xi'er thinks it's too much of a coincidence."

"But please also ask my father to let others live."

"If they can't survive the torture of the Criminal Department, then the real culprit behind the murder of my mother and concubine will go unpunished."

"Xi'er."

Concubine Qi lifted Lu Luoxi with a sad face.

"If it weren't for torture, they wouldn't have recruited them."

"Then how do you avenge your mother's hatred?"

She said coquettishly.

"I know you're a poor person down there, but you also have to think about your mother."

"Sister Qin, she ......"

Without saying a word, Concubine Qi burst into tears again.

She took up the veil and hid her face and wept.

"Okay, don't be sad, concubine."

The emperor sighed, turned his head and said to Lu Luoxi.

"Xi'er, Father knows that you think there are innocent people in the kitchen."

"But it's about the cause of your mother's death, and my father must do it."

"You don't have to meddle in this matter, I have my own decision."

The matter has come to this, Lu Luoxi saw that the emperor had made up his mind, and there was no other way.

She said deferentially.

"Then it's up to my father to bother, thank you."

The emperor looked at the well-behaved and sensible Lu Luoxi with relief, his eyes were full of pity.

"We've grown up."

"Are there any discomforts in your body now?"

"Back to my father," Lu Luoxi replied, "Xi'er is not unwell. ”

"Xi'er is worried about Jingqian's ...... now"

Even though her brother had just vomited out all the poison, there was still no sign of waking up.

How could Lu Luoxi not be worried?

looked at Lu Jingqian's uncomfortable appearance, as if the poisoned person was Lu Luoxi himself.

The emperor got up and walked slowly to the bed of the Seventh Prince.

"Zhang Lin, Li Su."

Two Imperial Doctors: "Wechen is here." ”

"I'll leave the seventh to you."

"Wechen takes orders."

The emperor added.

"I have already lost Concubine Qin, and I can't lose the seventh child anymore."

"Weichen must do his best to wake up the Seven Princes!"

"It's not too early." The emperor flicked his sleeves.

"Concubine Qi go back and rest."

"Xi'er too, you were frightened today, go back and rest as soon as possible."

The emperor's face was covered with a faint exhaustion.

Concubine Qi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty cares about the people, and you must also have a good rest." ”

The emperor snorted.

He instructed his father-in-law beside him.

"Concubine Qin's affairs will be handled by the Ministry of Rites."

"Now prepare the carriage and send Xi'er back to the princess's mansion to rest."

"Huh." The father-in-law received the order.

Lu Luoxi was depressed in his heart, and forcibly refused the carriage arranged by the emperor with a strong sense of depression.

She saluted and said goodbye to the emperor and Concubine Qi.

Before Lu Luoxi walked out of the Changqiu Palace, he glanced back at the direction of the side couch.

The two imperial doctors and a few maids were still busy around Lu Jingqian.

Lu Luoxi looked up at the already dark sky.

He closed his eyes and forcibly held back his tears.

Once she woke up, not only did she lose her memory, but her closest mother also left her.

Lu Luoxi only felt that his current self was like a flat boat drifting alone on the vast sea.

She clenched her cuffs.

Mother, I must find out the truth!

Jing Qian, you must wake up!

"Your Highness."

Lu Luoxi turned around, but saw that it was Zhang Pengpeng who walked out with the medical box on his back.

Zhang Pengpeng said: "My father is afraid that His Highness will still feel unwell, so he asked the people to follow His Highness back to his house." ”

Lu Luoxi's eyes were sharp, staring at Zhang Pengpeng.

wants to probe one or two from Zhang Pengpeng.

Zhang Pengpeng was calm as usual.

Lu Luoxi retracted his eyes and instructed Nalan on the side.

"Miss Zhang will go back to the house with us and ask them to clean the wing room in advance."

Nalan should be down.

The carriage moved forward slowly, and Lu Luoxi closed his eyes to recuperate.

Zhang Pengpeng sat on his side and said softly.

"Your Highness is really fine now?"

"What?" Lu Luoxi raised his eyebrows.

"Listening to Miss Zhang, what do you mean to look forward to something in this palace?"

Zhang Panpan hurriedly explained.

"That's not what the people mean, Your Highness must not blame."

"It's just when the folk girls come in the evening......"

"Your Highness does ......"

It's really out of breath.

Lu Luoxi was as steady as Mount Tai, and he didn't even open his eyes to know what Zhang Pengpeng was going to say.

Lu Luoxi stretched out his wrist.

"Okay, then Miss Zhang will investigate the palace again."

After Zhang Pengpeng finished taking the pulse, he said to Lu Luoxi.

"Your Highness's body really shows no signs of poisoning."

She smiled with relief, "Minnu, Minnu thought it was a misdiagnosis......"

"It's just that His Highness's body is still a little weak, wait for the people to prescribe a calming prescription for His Highness."

Lu Luoxi snorted and slowly opened his eyes.

She lifted the curtains in the compartment.

The carriage had been taken away from the majestic palace.

Turned into a black silhouette.

"Do you know what your father said tonight?" Lu Luoxi asked.

Zhang Pengpeng: "The folk girl knows. ”

"Okay." Lu Luoxi closed his eyes again.

"This palace will tell you one thing, don't tell your father."

"You can do this alone."

Zhang Peng was stunned, not knowing what Lu Luoxi meant.

"Get a pangolin fruit for the palace."

“…… Be. ”

Zhang Pengpeng should go down.

Concubine Qi, who had left the Changqiu Palace, immediately took away the sadness on her face.

She looked forward to life and walked towards the Linhua Palace.

"Niangniang...... "The maid lowered her voice, "what can I do?" Concubine Qin died. ”

Concubine Qi disagreed.

"If you're dead, you're dead. I wanted to poison a small one, but who knew that the old one died. ”

"That'...... Now that the sixth princess has been crowned as the eldest princess, it is difficult for us to poison again. ”

"Are you a donkey's brain!" Concubine Qi raised her voice and scolded.

"It's enough to kill a chicken and a monkey."

"Concubine Qin's slut's death is enough for Zhao Yue'an to share a little!"

"Hmph."

Concubine Qi stroked the peony golden hairpin on her head.

"Zhao Yue wants to push Lao Qi to the top position, and he keeps suppressing my father......"

"Killing Concubine Qin is enough for him to realize his thief heart!"

"Old Yan people, don't think about climbing up!"

"The toad wants to eat swan meat, and he doesn't look at how many catties and taels he has."

When Concubine Qi's figure disappeared into the long palace, a dark shadow appeared in the East Palace.

When the prince heard the report, he waved his hand to dismiss the shadow.

He paced to the window and looked at the brightly lit Changqiu Palace not far away.

The guard Gao Yun followed behind the prince.

"Concubine Qi's actions are inevitably too anxious."

The prince said indifferently.

"She didn't want to target Lao Qi, but Zhao Yue."

"Zhao Yue's forces have already infringed on the interests of Concubine Qi's father, Qi Zhong, the head of the household department."

"Even if my father appreciates Lao Qi again, it is absolutely impossible for the people of Jiuyan to take over the throne."

The prince wore a plain robe.

"I'm a little looking forward to what Zhao Yue, who is leading the troops outside, will react to when he comes back."

Gao Yun asked, "It's so late, where is Your Highness going?" ”

The prince replied.

"Go to Changqiu Palace and mourn Concubine Qin."
