Pampering the outside room alone? I entered the East Palace to pass on the sick and weak prince

Chapter 435 The truth back then

The hall was quiet for a few seconds.

Then Lu Shuyi's voice came slowly but clearly.

"Yes, I love the Queen."

The moment she said it, she suddenly felt a lot more relaxed inside.

She didn't dare to mention the secret that had been kept in her heart for twenty years.

Now I finally said it.

It was as if a huge boulder had been moved away, and it was so refreshing.

Shen Ruoxi frowned slightly, and then her expression quickly returned to calm.

She looked at Su Liuer beside her and saw that she looked calm, so she must be aware of this matter.

Lu Shuyi looked up.

"Queen, I will do anything for you, even death."

Su Liuer whispered.

"But what I need is for you to do nothing."

"But you are too kind, so you will only be bullied. I don't want you to worry, I want to share your worries!"

Lu Shuyi looked sad.

"I know that you love your child the most, so I want to clear the way for you and Prince Rui. I will do these dirty things. In my heart, you are the most beautiful person in the world, and you should not get involved. Do these dirty things!”

"But you let the queen get involved."

Shen Ruoxi said coldly: "You keep saying that you love your mother and do her good, but what you do is not what she wants to do."

"My mother never told you to do anything harmful to nature, but you just didn't listen."

"You know that your mother is deliberately cold to you, so you want to do something to get closer to her. On the surface, it is because you love her for her own good, but in fact, it is to satisfy the twisted love in your heart."

Looking at Lu Shuyi who was looking a little pale on the ground, Shen Ruoxi mercilessly ripped apart her lies.

"The things you did, apart from being self-motivating, have no value to the Queen. Instead, they made her hate you even more."

"You bullshit!"

Lu Shuyi looked excited: "What do you know? I sincerely do it for the Queen and have never thought of harming her!"

"enough!"

Su Liuer shouted sharply.

Lu Shuyi turned her head and saw Su Liuer looking at her with cold and distant eyes.

"I gave you one last chance to stay on your own terms, but you once again let me down. The little bit of affection between you and me is now... over."

"The Queen..."

"You were never like this before. Now you make me feel strange and disgusted."

Su Liuer's voice was light, but every word made Lu Shuyi feel heart-piercing pain.

Su Liuer closed her eyes and sighed deeply.

"I will report to the Emperor later that you have evil intentions and intend to murder the Crown Princess, so that the Emperor will punish you."

Lu Shuyi's face turned pale and her eyes gradually turned red.

Then he fell to the ground and smiled sadly.

"That's all, I finally... let you down."

Su Liuer ignored her.

She looked at Shen Ruoxi.

"What happened today shocked you."

"Mother, my son actually has something important to ask Concubine De."

"What do you want to ask?"

Shen Ruoxi whispered: "It's about the late Queen."

Hearing this, Su Liuer's expression changed obviously.

Lu Shuyi also raised her gaze.

Shen Ruoxi said.

"Concubine De, please tell the truth. Was the death of the late empress really due to dystocia, or was there something else going on?"

Lu Shuyi suddenly became excited.

"Absurd! Everyone knows that the late Queen died in childbirth. Now you ask me what I mean!?"

"The female doctor who delivered the baby to the late queen, including several of her personal maids and nuns, all died, and the remaining one is still crazy. If the first queen had a natural dystocia, then why did such a strange thing happen?"

Hearing this, Su Liuer grabbed Shen Ruoxi's hand.

"Ruoxi...you said it, but is it true?"

"It's absolutely true, Queen Mother, Ah Heng has already checked. Everyone present at the time had an accident. The late Queen's death may not have been due to natural dystocia."

Su Liuer relaxed her hands.

Great shock flashed across his face.

Then he suddenly looked at Lu Shuyi.

"What exactly do you know? Tell me!"

Lu Shuyi's eyes flashed slightly, but she said nothing.

Su Liuer rushed over and grabbed her by the skirt.

She had never been so out of sorts.

"Lu Shuyi, if you don't want me to hate you completely, tell me what you know! You know how important my sister is to me!"

"Qingqing..."

"Don't call me that, I want to know the truth! Tell me everything!"

"I……"

Lu Shuyi bit her lip, her eyes a little guilty.

After a long while, she trembled and whispered: "The death of the late empress is not that simple. In fact, she... was not going to die."

Su Liuer's hand loosened and she was almost unsteady on her feet.

Shen Ruoxi helped her from behind.

She looked at Lu Shuyi.

"Then who killed the late Queen?"

"Yes……"

Lu Shuyi's voice was very soft, as if she didn't dare to say: "It's the Emperor."

Su Liuer's eyes showed shock.

"impossible!"

The emperor loves his sister deeply, she can be sure of this.

"The Emperor indeed loves the First Queen, but he is even more afraid that she is the daughter of the Su family. Do you know why the First Queen has never been able to get pregnant?"

Lu Shuyi slowly raised her head, her eyes a little sad.

"Because he has been secretly giving medicine to the late Queen to prevent her from conceiving..."

"Originally, it was impossible for the late Queen to be pregnant, but a miracle happened and she became pregnant."

"But after taking infertility medicine for many years, the late Queen's fetus was extremely weak. Even...even when she was pregnant, the emperor used abortion medicine on her, but the child in her belly was actually very large. He actually survived.”

Recalling the past events, Lu Shuyi also had a complicated expression in her eyes.

"The female doctor who had been diagnosing the late empress's pulse warned the emperor that if he insisted on using abortion pills on the late empress, one person and two others would die, so the emperor stopped."

"After such a waste of time, the late empress gave birth prematurely without any warning. The bleeding continued that night. Although the female doctor had been prepared, she was still unable to save the late empress. The baby she gave birth to was also much weaker than the other babies. many."

Hearing this, Shen Ruoxi felt sad in her heart.

Therefore, Murong Heng was frail and sickly since he was a child, and it was not caused by premature birth at all.

And man-made.

Her voice was a little colder.

"Then all these things were kept so tightly hidden, how could you know?"

"Are you also involved?"

Lu Shuyi immediately denied it.

"I don't!"

But for a moment, she seemed to think of something, and her eyes flickered slightly.

Su Liuer slammed the table at her hand.

"Are you serious? Lu Shuyi, look me in the eyes and say that!"

"I...I was forced to do it in the first place."

Lu Shuyi closed her eyes tightly, as if she didn't want to look back.

"One day, I overheard the emperor ordering a female doctor to give the late empress an abortion pill. I was so frightened that I knocked over the cup in a panic, and the emperor discovered it."

"Then?"

"At that time, my father and brother were fighting on the battlefield. The emperor couldn't silence me, so he found another way to silence me."

She said in a trembling voice: "The Emperor asked me... to personally administer the medicine to the late Queen."
