thought that after the concubine was beaten into the cold palace, Jia Zhaoyi's matter would come to an end, after all, it was completely explained that the biological mother of the third prince was punished so severely.

But I never expected that this was just the beginning, and then the evidence of many other concubines was found one after another.

Lu Wuji was furious, only to feel that Jia Zhaoyi's side was leaking like a sieve, making those who were not right-minded pervasive.

The emperor had a hard attack, and as long as the concubines were found, they were all punished.

Finally, when he came to Yuxiu Palace, everyone couldn't help but be surprised, even Concubine Yu was found?

"The concubine has seen the emperor." Concubine Yu saluted respectfully.

For the arrival of the emperor, she did not panic at all, and even served as usual, her face was calm, and she looked like a must.

It's a pity that Lu Wuji didn't care about appreciating it, before he came, he was angry and needed to vent urgently.

But after arriving here, he seemed to be influenced by Concubine Yu, and the whole person became calm, but he was already ruthless, and now he has no favor or love for Concubine Yu.

Seeing her so indifferent, what swelled up in his heart was not appreciation, but vigilance.

Such a woman has never been afraid of him even in the face of anger, and if she does something bad, I am afraid that she will be even more ruthless, and she will have no last resort.

Facing the emperor with low pressure, Concubine Yu was also apprehensive, but after being a concubine for all these years, she had enough kung fu to nourish her qi.

Moreover, when she and the emperor also had a strong affection, Lu Wuji praised her for being mature and calm, if she was a man, she would definitely be a marquis.

Now she didn't want to lose her square inch, and tried her best to suppress the anxiety in her heart, putting on a calm and indifferent appearance.

As everyone knows, this is counterproductive, making the emperor more wary of her.

It can only be said that a man like Lu Wuji will love his life and evil want his death characteristics, and go deep into his bone marrow.

He now feels that Concubine Yu is old and yellow, and there is no freshness, so no matter what she does, he only feels unpleasant.

"There was such a big incident in the palace, and the palaces were implicated a lot, but I didn't expect that there would be so many concubines with malicious intentions." Lu Wuji finished drinking a cup of tea and opened his mouth in a cold voice.

"My sisters are lonely in the deep palace, and it is inevitable that there will be mistakes, and if they make mistakes, they will be punished. It's just that Sister Jia is bitter, and the concubine asked people to find a thousand-year-old mountain ginseng, and it just so happens that the emperor is here, you bring Sister Jia, let her cook porridge and stew soup every day, and take care of her body, but she can't eat too much, so as not to make up for it. ”

Concubine Yu is worthy of being exquisite, and no one can be offended by these words.

found a reason for those harmful concubines, but said that they should be punished if they made mistakes, and then they also focused on Jia Zhaoyi, and even handed over the thousand-year-old ginseng to the emperor to send, all of which were inappropriate, which made people feel comforted.

"It is worthy of being a concubine, and she is really blue-hearted, which is not comparable to ordinary concubines. Then why did I come today, I guess the concubine can also guess it? He said it first, and then the conversation changed to what sounded like a difficult one.

Concubine Yu wanted to say that she didn't know, but since the emperor had already said it, she was very smart, and she should be able to guess that if she pretended to be stupid at this time, she was afraid that it would provoke the emperor to be even more angry.

She thought for a moment, and then said: "The concubine dared to guess that the emperor has been trying to catch the murderer who assassinated Jia's sister's miscarriage recently, and the first to be punished was the concubine, and then there were several more people one after another. Since the emperor came to the concubine today, he either wanted the concubine to take care of Sister Jia more, or found evidence that the concubine was also involved. ”

When she talked about it, she couldn't help but feel apprehensive.

In fact, she is also gambling, the emperor is now bent on Jia Zhaoyi, and if she can come to her, she must have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace.

Instead of pretending to be stupid and annoying, it is better to say what you think directly.

"The concubine is really like a god. Jia Zhaoyi's food was found out of the cold medicine, I asked the imperial doctor to check, although I can't determine the complete prescription of this cold medicine, but the main medicine is very different. Coincidentally, these main medicinal herbs, your Yuxiu Palace was able to piece together several prescriptions that were prescribed one after another in the previous month. Isn't that a coincidence, you say? Lu Wuji said slowly and logically.

When he said this, his tone sounded quite calm, as if he wasn't very angry.

But the content of this statement is enough for Concubine Yu to be frightened, if it is changed to other concubines, she must have knelt on the ground and begged for mercy at this time, shouting that she was wronged.

Concubine Yu didn't want to be so embarrassed, she still sat in her position, and said in a sincere tone: "Your Majesty, in the recent autumn, the weather has changed greatly, and the concubine has contracted the wind and cold, so she went to the hospital to prescribe medicine." But the concubine is an old problem, every time at this time will be infected with wind and cold, this year's prescriptions are very similar to previous years, these prescriptions are recorded in the medical case of the Tai Hospital, you can summon the judge of the Tai Hospital to ask. ”

"The concubine has been looking forward to having more children in the palace, the emperor has more sons and more blessings, after Sister Jia is pregnant, the concubine is very happy, it is impossible to assassinate her."

After the explanation was clear, she said the last two words of blessing very briskly, revealing a sense of sincerity.

"I've heard all of this. You also know that the third child has always been in poor health, from a few years ago when his legs were crippled to now, there are all kinds of medicines he takes, and there are all kinds of prescriptions. But he didn't have a pair of herbal medicines. Or rather, the concubine is stupid. If she asked the imperial doctor to prescribe medicine, she added one or two more medicinal materials that had little impact, maybe she would be able to make up a pair, and she wouldn't have to bother to make a deal with the people of the previous dynasty. ”

Lu Wuji poured himself a cup of tea, and his tone was still not salty or light, but it made Concubine Yu's legs weak when she heard it.

After he said this, he said in hindsight: "Oh, I remembered it, but it still doesn't work. She didn't master the harem, and it was still risky to buy the palace maid to give her cold medicine, so it was better to ask someone from the previous dynasty to help, so that even if the palace person who drugged her was caught, she would not be able to find her head. Guifei, don't you say? ”

Lu Wuji's question was raised, as if he was just chatting casually, but it scared Concubine Yu's scalp.

She couldn't compose anymore and fell to her knees.

"Your Majesty, this matter really has nothing to do with the concubine, the concubine swore to the heavens that if the cold medicine was given by the concubine, the concubine would be subjected to thunder and thunder."

Her swear did not satisfy Lu Wuji, and he couldn't help but sneer.

"When I found out about the concubine before, the concubine also swore that she would not admit it to death, and then I said how embarrassed it was to let the third prince come to see her, and she immediately confessed."

Listening to the emperor's strange words, Concubine Yu's face turned pale in an instant.

She knew what the emperor meant, and he didn't believe that she used her own gambling curse, but asked her to gamble with the life of the second prince.

The women in the palace who can climb to this position actually don't believe in the gambling curse.

If it was really useful, then there would not be so many people dead in the palace.

The more you have a conscience, the less you will live.

Although they don't believe it, they hesitate when it comes to their children.

Lu Wuji sat on the chair opposite and looked at her for a long time.

That relaxed and leisurely state is like watching a play.

Even if Concubine Yu didn't raise her head, she could detect the emperor's state of staying out of the matter, and she was even more secretly hated in her heart.

It's as if the second prince is her own child, and obviously he is also the emperor's son, why can Lu Wuji put on such a state, and even wish that he would be punished after being cursed.

"What the concubine hasn't done, she will never admit it. If the cold medicine is sent by the concubine, not only will the concubine be hit by five thunders from the sky, but the second prince will also be pierced through the heart by ten thousand arrows. ”

She almost squeezed out such a sentence from between her teeth, and her face was serious, extremely serious.

The words of ten thousand arrows piercing the heart were said, which shows the determination of Concubine Yu.

The relaxed state on Lu Wuji's face immediately retracted.

"Since the concubine is so sambling, then I will believe you once."

Concubine Yu listened to him say so lightly, angry and hateful, her mind was buzzing, and her whole person was like a volcano filled with magma, waiting to erupt.

She gritted her teeth, and even tasted the smell of blood in her mouth, which should have accidentally bitten her tongue.

After all, she was too unwilling, she couldn't help but make trouble, took a light breath, and let herself barely calm down.

"Thank you for the emperor's trust, the concubine has a sentence that I want to say to the emperor." She struggled to keep her voice calm and less furious.

If it was before, she would have to say "The concubine has a sentence, I don't know whether to say it or not", but now in the face of such an emperor, she doesn't want to use a question sentence, in case she is rejected, then she has to be suffocated.

"Why, do you want to be like those officials in the previous dynasty, persuade me to accept it when I see it, don't make the entire harem miserable for a small birth, and everyone will be in danger?" As soon as Lu Wuji heard her say this, he immediately raised his tone, with a bit of aggression.

Because he was in the harem, he frequently made big moves, and even affected the officials in the court, in recent days, the recitals of the exhortation have been piled up, all kinds of words have been said again, and the scriptures are also cited, as if if he does not stop, he will be a sinner through the ages, and he has a headache.

"Naturally not, the concubines are worried about the emperor, and Sister Jia is pregnant with an heir, but she is spreading branches for the royal family, but now she has been poisoned by many parties and has an unfortunate miscarriage. It is naturally normal for the emperor to pursue them. ”

Concubine Yu's words were extremely comforting, which made Lu Wuji feel a lot better.

"What are you going to say?" He took the initiative to ask.

"Your Majesty, you have tracked down so many people, some of whom have indeed been poisoned and deserve to be punished. But there must also be innocent among them, such as concubines. Sister Jia is a pet and pregnant, and there are not a few people who are red and jealous, but there is no shortage of smart people in the palace, and more will be a bystander. To put it mildly, many people want to sit back and enjoy it, waiting for others to harm Sister Jia, so that they don't have to do it, let alone take risks. ”

"And it is a bit unreasonable to find out so many people and do it at the same time."

Concubine Yu carefully observed Lu Wuji's face and described her inner thoughts little by little.

Lu Wuji raised his eyebrows, although he didn't comment, but he wasn't angry at the moment, which proved that he listened to his words.

Concubine Yu immediately made persistent efforts and said: "Sister Jia's miscarriage, when I found out about the concubine, I actually caught a big fish." Later, he involved other concubines, and even came at the concubines, and the concubines felt that someone was behind them. His purpose was to bring down the concubines, and the reason why he refused to stop was that he wanted to bring down the concubines again, so that in the palace, the stumbling blocks were eliminated, and only his family was the only one. ”

She couldn't help but analyze, in fact, when it came to this, who was behind the scenes she wanted to talk about was already about to come out.

Xiang Concubine represents the three princes, and Yu Guifei represents the power of the second prince, and when these two people are brought down, only the prince and the four princes are left, and the four princes are stupid, so the only one who can dominate the family in the palace is the prince.

This eye medicine is a must.

After all, as an emperor, Lu Wuji's most taboo is to be a single family.

As soon as her words fell, the emperor slammed the teacup on the table, making a muffled "click" sound.

"The concubine is reasonable, but it is really calculating. In this harem, your family has been dominant for many years, and the queen has never said anything, and even has to rely on people to live by snorting, and now that something has happened, you don't forget to bring her with you. Tell me, how did the queen secretly promote this matter? Isn't this harem under your control? How did she get past you and mobilize so many palace people to frame you and the other concubines? ”

Originally, when Concubine Yu heard that he agreed with her, she was very happy, and she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but when the latter words came out, she only felt chills all over her body, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Your Majesty, that's not what the concubine meant, you—" She fell to her knees again, this time really embarrassed.

Lu Wuji stood up directly, not wanting to hear her much at all.

"Actually, before I came, I had already found out that the cold medicine in the food had nothing to do with you, but I still wanted to test you. After all, this matter is very wide-ranging, and the concubines at the beginning are indeed to blame, but when they came to the back, when they pointed to many people one after another, I guessed that someone wanted to fish in troubled waters and use this incident to eradicate dissidents. ”

"After thinking about it, there are really only a handful of people in the harem who can have such skills. I asked people to focus on probing, and the medicinal materials in the cold medicine are barely linked to you, but as long as you go to the Tai Hospital and ask, you know that the evidence is actually insufficient. But it was this faint feeling that made me wonder if you had deliberately released it in order to get yourself out. ”

"Now that I look at it, it's true. You gambled with the life of the second prince, and I believe that you have nothing to do with this matter, so the forces in the palace, not only the crown prince has not been brought down, but also you and the second prince. If I believe your words and make a move on the crown prince, it will really lead to a monopoly family, but this monopoly is the second prince, don't you say? ”

Lu Wuji's questioning directly broke Yu Guifei's defense.

In order to lead the troubles to the east, she brought the prince out and made some logic, but now when the emperor refuted her, he also came to make some logic, which instantly made her speechless.

Because the emperor is quite right, after all, the emperor believes in her and has nothing to do with Jia Zhaoyi's miscarriage, so he will not punish her.

And she is alluding to the crown prince, if Lu Wuji retaliates against the prince, the prince will also be damaged, and in the end, she and the second prince will be safe and sound.

Judging from the results, it was the second prince who finally reaped the benefits of the fisherman.

"Concubine, I really don't mean anything else—" She opened her mouth to explain.

was grabbed by Lu Wuji by the bun and directly pulled her head back.

"You don't mean anything else, what do you mean? Am I right? Concubine, the next time you play with scheming, you must remember that it is too much. Your previous gambling curse is over, I believe you, I should shut up and accept it when I see it. Otherwise, just like now, I don't believe anything you say, I just think you have other plans. ”

"I handed over the harem to you, not to let you show off your might, but to make you a housekeeper. Jia Zhaoyi is pregnant, you should have sent someone to take care of her, but she took care of her miscarriage, and so many concubines took action, not only did you not reflect on yourself, but also gave you an idea here, are you qualified? ”

After Lu Wuji asked this, he shook his hand vigorously and directly pushed her to the ground.

"You are lucky this time, it is precisely because I am afraid that the family will be dominant that I did not punish you, otherwise the second prince would not have such a help from you, how would he check and balance. But if there is a next time, it will not be spared. ”：，n，
