It's evening.

Since Emperor Mingde ordered that Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu should be in their respective palaces, and they were not allowed to go out unless they were edicted, the number of palace people waiting on both sides has decreased a lot.

Concubine Shu frowned and paced back and forth in the hall, she was waiting for news from outside the palace.

She made a fuss, and Emperor Mingde refused to see her, although she was not happy in her heart, she still had hope.

If at this time, if some good news can be transmitted from outside the palace, maybe she will be able to leave her residence and go to Lingyun Hall to see Your Majesty.

Even if the Li family has been sent down, and some people are still escorted out of Kyoto, there is still hope.

"!" A palace man came in from outside the palace and saluted the concubine.

"How's it going?" Although she is not her confidant, she can't care much about it at this juncture, "Is it a boy or a girl?"

Today, in the mansion of the third prince Zhou Yu, the two concubines launched at the same time.

Concubine Shu hoped that there would be a boy in Zhou Yu's house, so that their mother and son would have the opportunity to continue planning.

"Mother, yes...... It's a girl, and both are girls." The palace man hung his head slightly and said back to Concubine Shu.

"What?" Concubine Shu frowned tightly and took a step back, her face full of disappointment, "What's the matter...... There is no one grandson!"

In the past, when Zhou Yu's mansion just had a child, Concubine Shu was also very happy.

But as time went on, she became more and more disappointed.

Over the years, she has searched for ways to send them to Zhou Yu's mansion to let his wives and concubines try, but she has never been able to do so.

This time is the only chance for her, as long as there is one of the two royal grandsons, she can reverse the situation of their mother and son.

But God just won't let them get their wish.

"Why are you so unlucky!" Depressed and tangled in her heart, Concubine Shu walked to the table, picked up the teapot on it, and slammed it on the ground.

Xu was so angry that she was a little dizzy, so she propped one hand on the table, panting.

Concubine Shu didn't notice that the palace people who came to report the news took out a hemp rope from their sleeves and quietly approached her.

Before she could react, the palace man who strangled her turned around and pressed his back against Concubine Shu's back, causing her legs to lift off the ground and she could only kick around.

Concubine Shu was strangled so that she couldn't breathe, barely made a "ho-ho" sound, she wanted to raise her hand, but she couldn't move at all, and after a few more kicks, she gradually stopped moving.

The palace people who strangled Concubine Shu were not in a hurry to let go, and waited for a while before putting Concubine Shu down.

His eyes turned around the hall, he chose a position, hung the hemp rope to a high place, and hung the body of Concubine Shu again.

After doing this, he deliberately picked a stool of inappropriate height in the room and kicked it to the ground at will.

"Concubine Niangniang, in fact, the news outside the palace has not been transmitted yet." Looking up at Concubine Shu's extremely hideous face, the palace man said another word and turned to leave.

It was getting dark.

Zhou Yu stood under the porch, anxiously waiting for news.

The two concubines started at the same time, which gave rise to some expectations in his heart, and he had been standing here for a long time, but he did not feel cold and tired.

At last, a baby's cry came from one of the rooms, and he hurried forward, his heart beating rapidly.

The door opened, and although the midwife's face was smiling, it made Zhou Yu have a bad premonition in his heart.

"Congratulations, Your Highness, you have won a little county lord." This is not the first time that the midwife has come to the house, she knows what to expect in the house, and she hopes that she can pick up a boy out.

If she can get her wish, she will definitely be rewarded, but now......

"Got it, let's go down and get the money." Zhou Yu waved his hand, with no expression on his face.

Knowing that she could get the reward normally, the midwife-in-law was immediately relieved and hurriedly left after saluting.

Zhou Yu was once again in an anxious wait.

——

In the Lingyun Palace, Emperor Mingde, who got the news, had no expression on his face.

Peng Hai stood aside, waiting for his command

Instruct.

"Find out whether Concubine Shu committed suicide or something else, no matter which one it is, prepare for the future with the regulations of the concubine."

After a while, Emperor Mingde commanded, and Peng Hai took the order and retreated towards the outside of the palace.

When the news of Concubine Shu reached the Three Princes' Mansion, Zhou Yu's other concubine also gave birth to a child.

To his surprise, he finally had a son.

But no matter what method the midwife used, the child didn't cry, he was bruised all over, and he looked different from ordinary children.

"Whatever you do, you must save my son, or I will kill you!" Before Zhou Yu's words fell, the palace people who delivered the message came to him.

After listening to the palace man's reply, his brows furrowed even deeper, "What did you just say?"

"Temple...... Your Highness, Lady Lady...... It's gone." The palace people trembled and said what they had just said again.

"It's good, why are people gone?" Asking, Zhou Yu's eyes turned to the house, but he still didn't hear the child crying.

In addition to the midwife, the waiting doctor also went in, and they were all trying to save the child, but to no avail.

Zhou Yu had a son, lost a son, and on the same day, he also lost his biological mother.

The fishy sweetness gushed into his throat, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and Zhou Yu fell on his back.

——

After Peng Hai left, Emperor Mingde picked up the music on the small table again, and continued to look at it, and in less than half an hour, the news from Zhou Yu's mansion was sent to him.

The palace people who came and went were with Peng Hai to enter the Lingyun Palace.

Peng Hai had already gone to Concubine Shu's residence and saw the hemp rope hanging from the beam and the stool that had fallen to the ground.

Although Emperor Mingde did not speak, Peng Hai could see that he was in a bad mood at the moment.

It's no wonder that he finally got another grandson, but he died.

He cautiously looked at Emperor Mingde's face, and tentatively spoke, "Your Majesty, Concubine Shu...... It's not self-defeating, it's someone who deliberately forged it, but deliberately left traces."

"That's good!" Emperor Mingde sat on the soft couch, one hand supporting his head, propped up on the small table, he smiled and spoke, but it made people's backs chill, "Peng Hai, who do you say is the person who killed the concubine?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the slave doesn't know." Even if he has followed Emperor Mingde for many years, and he is now the most trusted, Peng Hai does not dare to talk nonsense at this time.

"Around me, one or two people don't make people worry, they always think they can blind me, but they don't know that I can see it clearly." Emperor Mingde spoke again, he didn't care about Peng Hai's dare not speak.

"I want to see what else they can do next." With a laugh, he looked at Peng Hai, "Spread my will and crown the third prince Zhou Yu as the king, let's continue to look down."

"Yes." Peng Hai hurriedly responded.

He retreated towards the outside of the hall, and heard Emperor Mingde's voice coming again, "Tomorrow, you will personally lead someone to clean up the side hall of Lingyun Palace, and select palace people and nursing mothers, and I will take the little emperor's grandson to the palace to raise it."
