The charming empress is too good at fishing, and the ruthless emperor has fallen

However, soon, Jingshu had no time to think so much.

Just after dinner, Chen Xiao suddenly came in and reported: "Empress, something happened. Empress Zhao of Yanxi Palace has had a miscarriage."

When Jing Shu heard this, there was not much surprise on her face.

She put down the chopsticks in her hand, wiped her mouth, and twitched the corners of her lips calmly, saying, "Let's go to Yanxi Palace to see what's going on."

When Jing Shu arrived at Yanxi Palace, many people had already gathered around her.

As expected, she was the farthest away and still the last one to arrive.

In the inner hall, basins of blood were brought out, and Zhao Concubine's painful screams were heard continuously.

"Yuan Jieyu is here." At this time, Chen Meiren saw Jingshu coming and immediately greeted her in a low voice.

"What's the matter? Are you really having a miscarriage?" Jing Shu walked up to Chen Meiren and asked in a lowered voice. However, her eyes missed Concubine Ning, and they gave each other a knowing look.

"Yes, Concubine Zhao's belly is almost six months old. She has a miscarriage at this time, and her life is in danger. Now the imperial doctor is trying hard to think of ways to save her life." Chen Meiren approached her and said.

"Why did you suddenly have a miscarriage? Didn't you raise the fetus well before? But what happened? But I remember that the people in Yanxi Palace have all been replaced by slaves appointed by the Holy Emperor, right?" Jing Shu asked a series of questions question.

"I heard that Eunuch Chen's mission went wrong, and there was something wrong with the anti-fetal medicine given to her." When Chen Meiren said this, she thought of something and couldn't help but look at Jing Shu with some sympathy, "In my opinion, this is probably the case. Coming for you."

"Are you coming for me?" Jing Shu seemed puzzled. Just as he was about to ask more questions, Lu Zan came.

As soon as Lu Zan came in, his eyes met hers.

The queen immediately led a group of concubines and servants to salute him, and Jingshu also squatted down and lowered her head.

"Everyone, get up. What's going on?" Lu Zan walked past her and sat down next to the queen.

"The child has not been saved." The queen shook her head with a gloomy look on her face, "The child is too big. A miscarriage occurs at this time, and Zhao Concubine is also in danger. The imperial doctor is working hard to save Zhao Concubine. We must save Zhao Concubine's life."

Lu Zan nodded after hearing this.

Then his eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one, and finally looked at the palace servants in Yanxi Palace with a dignified and cold look: "How do you serve the master? Why did you have a miscarriage? Can you find out the reason?"

"The emperor told me that it was the anti-fetal medicine that the empress drank. One of the medicines was mistaken by Eunuch Chen from the Ministry of Internal Affairs." The palace man lowered his head and knelt on the ground. "The Holy Father had previously ordered that Eunuch Chen would be responsible for taking care of the empress." The fetus, so important things like anti-fetal medicine, Eunuch Chen personally watched and took the medicine, but for some reason, he made such a mistake, which caused problems with the dragon in the mother's belly."

"The slave is unjust!" Eunuch Chen had already arrived and was kneeling beside him. When he heard this, he was immediately shocked and angry, "The medicinal materials were indeed caught by the slave. There is no way he could have made a mistake! They were clearly these. Something went wrong while the slave was cooking the medicine! This is how Empress Zhao and the heir in her belly were harmed! Your Majesty, this is clear! This is clearly a plan to frame the slave!"

"It's ridiculous. You are a slave. Who would frame you?" At this time, Concubine Xie said coldly, "Yan Chongyuan is dead. You are now half the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Who dares to harm you?"

"Then according to the wishes of the imperial concubine, Eunuch Chen intends to harm Concubine Zhao?" Jing Shu said with a smile on her face, but the smile did not reach her eyes, instead it was a bit sarcastic.

She was just waiting for Concubine Xie to speak.

"Isn't it?" Concubine Xie was also waiting for her to arrive. Now that she dared to answer the question, the coldness in her eyes deepened.

"But why did Eunuch Chen do this? Everyone knows that the Emperor asked him to do the raising of Zhao Concubine's fetus. If something happened to the dragonborn in Zhao Concubine's belly, he would be the first to lose his head. He would not be able to wait attentively and carefully before it was too late. How could it be possible to harm Concubine Zhao? Doesn't he want his head?" Jing Shu immediately retorted.

"How can you talk about this kind of thing? Maybe he followed the orders of his master behind him, and maybe he was also harmed by others." Concubine Xie looked at her with deep meaning, and there was something genuine in her words.

As soon as this statement came out, the concubines all started talking quietly.

After all, the last time Eunuch Chen defeated Yan Chongyuan, almost everyone in the palace believed that the master behind Eunuch Chen was Jing Shu.

It is self-evident that Concubine Xie's words were aimed at Jing Shu.

"Oh, what the imperial concubine said is quite right. Your Majesty, I think it's clear who did this." Jing Shu said as if she didn't realize it, and looked at Lu Zan.

"Oh?" Lu Zan felt that she was going to talk nonsense again, but he still said something to save face.

"This must have been done by the imperial concubine!" Jing Shu said decisively immediately.

"Presumptuous!" Concubine Xie didn't expect that at such a time, Jing Shu would dare to say such things. She immediately frowned and reprimanded in a cold tone, "Is this palace someone you can slander at will?"

"How can this be called slander? I was also inspired by the words of the imperial concubine. Look, the imperial concubine is the only one raising the eldest prince in the palace now. What if the dragon descendant in Zhao Concubine's belly is also a little prince? ? Doesn’t that mean she wants to compete with the eldest prince for the throne? As the eldest prince’s mother, the imperial concubine has a far-reaching plan. Naturally, she wants to eliminate the rivals for the little prince before he is born. Therefore, the imperial concubine is involved in this matter. If you know how to do it, if someone else does it, there will be no benefit to you!"

Jing Shu analyzed it clearly and looked at Concubine Xie with an innocent face, "After all, we don't have a prince, so we have no motive to do this!"

"You are very sharp-tongued and always know how to distance yourself!" Concubine Xie glared at her fiercely and said almost through gritted teeth.

"I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on my door if I don't do anything wrong. If I have never done anything, I have to clear my suspicions. Is it possible that I still have to wait for the imperial concubine to slander me?" Jing Shu smiled slightly, her mouth unceremonious.

Concubine Xie never had the upper hand in front of Jing Shu verbally.

At this time, she was only staring at Jing Shu, her eyes cold.

If looks could kill, Jing Shu was very sure that she would have torn her to pieces long ago.

"Do you still need others to slander you for what you have done?"

Concubine Xie sneered again, stared at Jing Shu and said in a sharp tone, "Everyone in the palace knows that Chen Deshun is yours. He tampered with Zhao Concubine's anti-fetal medicine, causing Zhao Concubine to have a miscarriage, and the dragon descendant was not born. Forget it, it's very possible to save one body and two lives. You just said that I have the eldest prince, so you have the motive to harm her, but you are obviously making excuses!

"Who in the palace doesn't know about the feud between you and Concubine Zhao?

"The last time she accidentally saw Hong, she wanted to take advantage of it and turn it over to you. You have been holding a grudge against this matter and waiting for an opportunity to retaliate. You deliberately chose to kill her when she was almost six months pregnant with the Dragonborn. life!

"If we talk about who in the palace hates Concubine Zhao the most and wants her dead the most, it seems that there will be no other person besides you, Yuan Jieyu!"

Jingshu listened quite leisurely while playing with her nails painted with kodan.

After she finished speaking, she said again in a nonchalant tone: "Oh, I dare to ask, if the imperial concubine is so sure, is there any evidence to prove that Zhao Concubine was harmed by a concubine? After all, everything must be evidence-based. People are condemned, aren’t they?”

"Evidence?" Concubine Xie's slender eyebrows raised, making her face look a bit mean.

She looked at Jingshu and said quietly, "Of course I don't have any, but since you were the one who harmed Concubine Zhao, I'll be able to find something if I search your Yicui Palace."

When Jing Shu heard this, she couldn't help but look at Concubine Xie with a half-smile.

Should she say that Concubine Xie has learned to be smart, or does she still like to be smart?

Last time, Concubine Xie prepared all the evidence in advance and wanted to harm her, but she ended up laughing at her.

You changed it this time. Instead of preparing evidence in advance and presenting it, you plan to conduct a temporary search?

"Okay." Jing Shu did not refuse, looking at Lu Zan with innocent eyes and said, "Your Majesty, since the imperial concubine insists on searching my concubine's Yicui Palace, then let her send people to search. However, if If something is really found, the emperor must remember to protect his concubines."

She said this very confidently.

"Nonsense!" Upon hearing this, Lu Zan frowned and scolded her.

"Why don't you protect the emperor if he doesn't want to? Why are you so fierce?" Jing Shu also frowned, her charming little face was quite dissatisfied, and she glared at him boldly.

Lu Zan's face turned dark immediately.

Did he say he wouldn't protect him?

However, in front of so many concubines, he couldn't just openly say that he wanted to protect her, regardless of his status and dignity, right? If she is really a difficult little girl, she will cause trouble for him.

At this time, Lu Zan glanced at Jing Shu with a cold face, as if he was dissatisfied with her rebellious and disrespectful attitude, but he did not show any anger. He just waited for Concubine Xie to find out the things and then settle the accounts together.

Seeing this, some concubines couldn't help but look at Jing Shu with a look on their faces, as if they couldn't wait to see Jing Shu fall.

Seeing Jing Shu's confident behavior, Concubine Xie had some unreasonable suspicions in her heart, feeling that there was some fraud involved.

But thinking of Concubine Zhao who had already had a miscarriage, she felt that nothing could happen.

It was a fact that Concubine Zhao had a miscarriage. No matter how confident Jingshu was that she could not find anything in Yicui Palace, she could not prevent that something would "grow" on its own.

"What does the emperor mean? Yuan Xiuyi seems to be quite confident and is not afraid of my concubine sending people to search. If the emperor is worried, he can ask the prince or the empress to send someone to search with the people from my concubine's palace. Go and search." Concubine Xie looked at Lu Zan and asked.

"Since she has said it herself, then the noble concubine can go search for it, and the queen can send someone to follow." Lu Zanjun's face was cold and his tone was calm and authentic.

"I obey the decree." After receiving the order, the queen sent someone to go to Yicui Palace with Concubine Xie's people.

This time back and forth, it will inevitably take a lot of time.

In the inner hall, Concubine Zhao was still uncertain about her life or death.

"Oh, it's all my fault that the emperor originally arranged his concubine's bedroom so far away. Look how much time it takes." At this time, Pian Jingshu was still in the mood to gossip, but it was still a bold lie.

In the harem, she was the only one who dared to blame Lu Zan in front of him.

Lu Zan glanced at her meaningfully and did not argue with her.

He really wanted to wait for the future to settle the score.

When the time comes, we will get rid of the charges of being disrespectful and disrespectful to her so many times today on the bed.

Finally, the palace servants sent to search Yicui Palace came back.

The queen glanced at the people in her palace.

The palace man shook his head at her, but the expression on his face was not good-looking.

As soon as she saw this, the queen knew that someone really called Concubine Xie might have found something.

Sure enough, Huiyun came back with a wooden tray in both hands and reported directly: "Your Majesty, Queen, and slaves found a box buried in the soil under a tree in a corner of Yicui Palace. This box contained a large amount of red wine. Flowers and musk..."

"Your Majesty, someone is harming my concubine!" Before Hui Yun finished speaking, Jing Shu immediately threw herself into Lu Zan's arms with a grandiose look on her face. Tears fell from her eyes as she cried, "Mong. The people here clearly knew that my concubine had been harmed and that she was suffering from physical problems and it was difficult to conceive. Now was the critical moment to recuperate her body, but she even buried things like musk and safflower in the soil of my concubine's palace! This was an attempt to harm her. I can’t conceive the emperor’s heir!”

She was undoubtedly a slap in the face.

Concubine Xie was so angry that the acupuncture points on both sides of her forehead were throbbing.

This bitch!

Really shameless!

Is it disgusting to interrupt Huiyun on purpose?

"Yuan Xiuyi! You are talking nonsense! This is obviously something you used to cause Concubine Zhao to have a miscarriage. You buried it in your own palace to cover up the evidence of your crime. When the people in this palace discovered it, you actually wanted to bite back. One mouthful? Do you really think others can't see your vicious thoughts?" Concubine Xie immediately accused her angrily.

"Your Majesty, you have seen that the imperial concubine bullied me because of my low status, so she dared to harm me so unscrupulously! She deliberately sent people to search my concubine's Yicui Palace, and then found someone to create such an unknown place. Here comes the box. Your Majesty, look at it. In this harem, the imperial concubine is really very knowledgeable! She can harm whomever she wants. She is a concubine today, but who knows who the unlucky ghost will be tomorrow? "Jing Shu ignored Concubine Xie and just kept acting coquettishly in Lu Zan's arms.

That soft breast kept rubbing against Lu Zan's arm.

Seeing such a blatant seductive move, Concubine Xie really wanted to tear her apart!

Lu Zan lost his temper because of her troubles.

In front of so many people, seeing Concubine Xie's face getting more and more ugly, he raised his hand to pull Jing Shu away from his arms, frowned and reprimanded: "Don't mess around!"

Jingshu originally deliberately acted to thank the imperial concubine.

After receiving such a reprimand and Lu Zan's implicitly warning look, he had no choice but to curl his lips and seriously stop making trouble.

"Go on." Seeing that she was standing beside him honestly, Lu Zan glanced at Huiyun, who had an ugly face and was holding his breath, and then said in a cold tone, "Go on."

"My slave obeys the order." Huiyun exhaled a long breath.

She and Concubine Xie looked at each other, and then continued.
