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

"Your Majesty, the reason why this slave is so sure that it was Yuan Xiuyi who harmed Concubine Zhao is because after Concubine Zhao's accident, a young eunuch working with Eunuch Chen from the Ministry of Internal Affairs immediately found this slave and said that he wanted to report Eunuch Chen for teaming up with Yuan Xiu. Yi conspired to kill the dragon descendant in the belly of Empress Zhao. The place where the box was buried was also told to the slave by the young eunuch. He accidentally heard Eunuch Chen talking to Xiu Qing next to Yuan Xiuyi and mentioned this matter, so the slave could This is how we successfully found the box."

At this time, Huiyun said word for word.

"You're talking nonsense!" Upon hearing this, Xiu Qing immediately retorted subconsciously, "I have never conspired with Eunuch Chen on this matter!"

"Of course you won't admit this kind of thing. Let me ask you, did you go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs the day before yesterday?" Huiyun asked calmly.

"I..." Xiu Qing just wanted to deny it, but suddenly he remembered something, and his expression changed slightly, "I did go to the House of Internal Affairs the day before yesterday, but it was because the empress sent me to collect this month's monthly payment, not with me. What is Eunuch Chen plotting? I just happened to meet Eunuch Chen and had a few gossips with him."

"That's right! It's true! I never conspired with Empress Xiuyi to kill Empress Zhao! I just asked Miss Xiuqing a few gossips about how Empress Xiuyi is doing recently!" At this moment, Eunuch Chen finally denied it. road.

Jing Shu couldn't help but sneer in her heart when she saw that he was speaking just now.

This dog slave is really just as good as before, a master at changing the situation.

Concubine Xie had some reservations in her words, saying that he might have been framed, so the slave boy remained silent and just watched, wanting to see if Concubine Xie's next move would drag him into trouble.

Now that he saw Huiyun insisting that he and she had harmed Concubine Zhao, he remembered that he had a mouth.

"Look, you also know that Yuan Xiuyi is your master, so you only ask about her well-being. Why don't you see other servants in the palace when you go to the House of Internal Affairs, and you ask them about your master's well-being? You don't do this kind of thing It doesn't matter if you are willing to admit it, but if there is a witness, it will be useless for you to deny it." Huiyun said, then looked at Lu Zan, "Your Majesty, the two eunuchs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs can testify that it is Eunuch Chen and Yuan Xiuyi teamed up to kill Zhao Concubine, and now the two of them are waiting outside the palace, asking the emperor to announce their entry."

"Let them come in." Lu Zan sat there, his expression unchanged, and nodded indifferently.

Soon, two young eunuchs entered the palace one after another.

When Chen Deshun saw the two of them, his expression changed slightly.

"Eunuch Chen must be no stranger to these two. They are by your side every day. It can be said that no one can compare with them in terms of what you do, what you say, and when you eat and sleep every day." It's clearer." Huiyun looked at him and said.

"Eunuch Chen, don't blame me. It's just that what you did was outrageous. I don't dare to hide it for you!" A young eunuch said first.

Huiyun said that he was the one who reported Chen Deshun to her.

Another one also followed and said: "Your Majesty, the Queen, and my servants saw with their own eyes that Eunuch Chen added something to the anti-fetal medicine of Concubine Zhao. It seems to be musk and safflower."

"One of them heard it with his own ears and the other saw it with his own eyes. Chen Deshun, what else do you have to say?" At this time, Concubine Xie finally spoke again. She stared at Eunuch Chen and said in a seductive tone, "If you If you are willing to take the initiative to confess, I will also intercede for you and spare your life."

It is self-evident what Concubine Xie means by her words.

Eunuch Chen raised his head to look at her, and then at Jing Shu, with a hint of struggle in his expression.

Everyone thought that he was Yuan Jieyu's man.

But in fact, Yuan Jieyu never asked him to do anything.

Even the last operation against Yan Chongyuan was accomplished only after Cui Huazhang asked him to cooperate. Yuan Jieyu had no involvement at all.

This means that either Yuan Jieyu really doesn't like to cause trouble, or she doesn't regard him as one of her own at all.

Now Concubine Xie's battle is clearly aimed at Yuan Jieyu.

The Zhao concubines on the left and right are already unable to protect themselves. He cannot escape the blame, so he might as well...

But in the blink of an eye, Eunuch Chen made a decision.

"Your Majesty, the Queen, the slaves are recruiting! The slaves are willing to recruit anything! Yes, it was Yuan Jieyu who threatened the slaves and asked the slaves to add these things to the anti-fetal medicine for Concubine Zhao! The fact is just as the concubine said! Yuan Jieyu threatened the slaves. It was in my heart that I hated Empress Zhao for hurting her last time, so I kept thinking about revenge. Now I saw Empress Zhao being beaten in the stomach, so I asked the servant to take action! Your Majesty! Empress! The servant is also forced to do nothing! Yuan Jieyu is favored now, and I really dare not disobey her orders!"

Eunuch Chen said directly loudly, and after speaking, he pretended to wipe his tears.

It looked like he was really forced to do something for Jingshu.

As soon as this statement came out, everyone immediately started talking.

The concubines all looked at Lu Zan quietly.

Seeing him frowning at Jing Shu with a cold expression, everyone raised the corners of their mouths, waiting to see what would happen to Jing Shu.

When Concubine Xie heard what Eunuch Chen said seriously, a hint of sarcasm immediately appeared on her face, and she looked at Jing Shu provocatively.

Look, the dog slave she raised is nothing more than that.

He was easily provoked after just one or two sentences.

If she had known that Eunuch Chen was a weakling, she should have gone to him directly and worked together to plot against Jing Shu.

At this moment, Jing Shu caught a glimpse of her determined look and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Eunuch Chen, you must know that you can eat whatever you want, but you can't speak nonsense. Are you sure that I asked you to add musk and safflower to Zhao Bin's anti-fetal medicine?" Facing such correction, her tone was still quite leisurely.

"Your Majesty, how can I dare to talk nonsense about what you personally ordered me to do? You asked Miss Xiuqing to give it to me personally!" Eunuch Chen said firmly.

"You're talking nonsense! How could I have ever done such a thing! Your Majesty is not kind to you, yet you betrayed her like this!" Xiu Qing was not one to hold his breath. When he heard this, he was so angry that he immediately felt resentful. He glared at Eunuch Chen and cursed.

"Miss Xiuqing, how can you deny what you have done?" Eunuch Chen immediately bit back.

"You!" Xiu Qing wanted to say more, but Jingshu pressed him on his shoulder.

She turned her head and saw Jingshu shaking his head towards her.

Xiu Qing had no choice but to glare at Eunuch Chen again, and stood aside obediently, holding back his anger and remaining silent.

"Your Majesty, the truth has now been revealed. Yuan Jieyu murdered Long Yi for personal revenge. She really deserves death. Your Majesty should punish her with death!" Concubine Xie glanced at Jing Shu sarcastically, then stood in front of Lu Zan, He said coldly with an urgent tone.

She clearly wanted to force Lu Zan to convict Jing Shu.

Lu Zan couldn't help but look at Jing Shu.

Before changing, she should have immediately thrown herself into his arms and asked him to protect her.

But now, he was standing there quietly and obediently, not saying a word to defend himself, which was quite abnormal.

"Yuan Jieyu, do you have anything to say?" Lu Zan had no choice but to ask himself.

"Your Majesty, today's incident seems to be complete with authenticated physical evidence, and it seems that I can't escape the blame. But in fact, there is still one biggest doubt that has not been explained." Jing Shu suddenly said.

"Oh? Let's talk about it." Lu Zan's expression was indifferent, but he looked at her with deep meaning in his eyes.

Just know that with her temperament, how could she really sit still and wait for death?

"The Emperor is so partial to Yuan Jieyu?" After hearing this, Concubine Xie's face turned cold again. She looked at Lu Zan questioningly and said in an aggressive tone, "The evidence of the crime is clear, but the Emperor refuses to punish her immediately. Her crime is to listen to her talk about so-called doubts. Could it be that you want to protect her?"

"Your Majesty, it's not your turn to teach me how to do things! Or do you want to sit in my position and decide everything for me?" When Lu Zan heard this, his eyes were cold and filled with an unspeakable feeling. Han Wei looked at Concubine Xie so coldly.

"I don't dare, and I have no intention of doing so. I am just worried that the emperor is partial and unjust!" Concubine Xie immediately lowered her head in a respectful manner, but her words were still very strong.

"Your Majesty, please don't worry. Even if I want to punish you, you should let me finish my words, right? Is it possible that your Majesty wants to cover my mouth and kill me? After I died, I If you become a ghost, you will also turn into a fierce ghost and talk to the imperial concubine every night." Jing Shu said half-jokingly and half-sarcastically.

Lu Zan sat there, and when he heard what she said about death, his brows furrowed again.

He immediately reprimanded with a stern face: "You say these nonsense all day long! If you want to say anything, say it quickly! Didn't I allow you to say it? Is she the emperor or am I the emperor? You should listen to her!"

His words clearly meant to reprimand Jing Shu for taking Concubine Xie too seriously.

After hearing this, Concubine Xie's face turned ugly again.

Jing Shu almost laughed out loud.

"Your Majesty is really cruel to me today!" She took advantage of her and muttered dissatisfiedly, and then quickly said in a very excited voice before Lu Zan lost his temper again, "Your Majesty, what I am confused about is, The imperial concubine sent someone to take the musk and safflower, and said that the concubine Zhao had a miscarriage because she accidentally ate these two things, but did the imperial doctor also say the same?"

"The imperial doctor didn't say anything. He only said that the medicinal ingredients in the anti-fetal medicine had been replaced." Before Lu Zan could speak, the queen suddenly answered.

When Concubine Xie heard this, another sneer appeared on her face.

It turned out that Jingshu had this idea.

Want to take advantage of this and say that Zhao Bi did not have a miscarriage after eating these two things, so as to clear her name?

How naive.

"Mr. Li is the best gynecologist in the palace. In the past, he was responsible for keeping an eye on my pregnancy. He had already checked that some of the medicinal materials in the anti-fetal medicine taken by Concubine Zhao had been replaced by Red flowers and musk, Yuan Jieyu, even if you want to clear yourself from suspicion, you should use your brain, right?" The sarcasm in Concubine Xie's tone almost overflowed.

However, Jing Shu immediately smiled as soon as she heard the name Dr. Li.

"Mr. Li?" she asked with a smile.

"What's the problem? Doctor Li has always been keeping an eye on Concubine Zhao's pregnancy. Don't you know?" Concubine Xie frowned. She couldn't understand why this bitch was smiling like this even though she was about to die. Gotta come out.

"I know, but on the way here, I heard that Dr. Li was not feeling well today. He seemed to have eaten something he shouldn't have eaten. He was unable to stand up even if he was out of court. How could he come to Yanxi Palace? What? I'm afraid the imperial concubine made a mistake, right?" Jing Shu said firmly.

"What?" When Concubine Xie heard this, she suddenly felt bad in her heart.

She quickly looked at Huiyun.

Huiyun stared at Jingshu and said, "Ms. Jieyu made a mistake, right? I saw Imperial Doctor Li in the inner palace with my own eyes..."

"Then you must have seen it wrong." Jing Shu interrupted her directly and looked at Lu Zan, "Your Majesty, there has been no movement inside for so long. I'm afraid that even Zhao Concubine won't be able to be saved. Why don't you let the imperial doctor come out to show the imperial concubine? See?"

Lu Zan looked at her, wondering for a moment what kind of medicine she was selling in the gourd.

If Zhao Concubine really could not be saved and was already dead, her words would be too disrespectful and inappropriate.

"Wang Zhong, go inside and take a look." Lu Zan ordered.

"My slave obeys the order." Wang Zhong immediately entered the inner hall.

Not long after, he came out with a rather troubled expression, followed by an imperial doctor.

However, this imperial doctor is indeed not the imperial physician Li mentioned by Concubine Xie, but the imperial physician Chen!

"How is this possible!" Concubine Xie immediately cried out in disbelief and shock!

Dr. Li, who she had arranged so well, was actually replaced by Dr. Chen under her nose!

How is this possible!

"Why is it impossible? How old is Dr. Li? He made a mistake and ate the wrong thing and couldn't get it, so Dr. Chen came here." Jing Shu said, looking at Dr. Chen and asking, "Have you checked Concubine Zhao?" What exactly was mixed into the anti-fetal medicine? But musk and safflower?"

"Returning to the Emperor and the Empress, Wei Chen has checked and found out that the medicinal materials mixed into Empress Zhao's anti-fetal medicine are the same medicinal materials that were adulterated into Empress Jieyu's food. It is purple purple with contraceptive effect. Grass, not musk and safflower." Doctor Chen immediately said respectfully.

He spoke with great certainty.

On the side, Zhou Jieyu, who had been silent all this time, heard the words, her expression couldn't help but move, and she felt inexplicably uneasy.

When Concubine Xie heard these words, she seemed to be quite shocked. She couldn't help but shake her body twice, and the expression of disbelief on her face was almost like exploding.

"That's nonsense!" Concubine Xie immediately reprimanded, "How can you be so sure as you alone? Your Majesty, I suggest that other imperial doctors from the imperial hospital should also come and have a look!"

"After all this time, the imperial concubine is still such a double standard." Jing Shu sarcastically said, and then said to Lu Zan, "But since the imperial concubine has said so, why not satisfy her? In case the truth comes out later, he said I am relying on the emperor's favor to accuse her unjustly."

Perhaps her last sentence of "relying on the emperor's favor" pleased Lu Zan. At this time, a fleeting smile finally appeared on Lu Zan's handsome face that had been as dark as water all night.

He winked at Wang Zhong.

Wang Zhong immediately sent someone to the Imperial Hospital to call for help.

Not long after, several other doctors came.

After the incident, Zhao Bin's anti-fetal medicine was naturally still kept, and no one dared to dispose of it.

Several imperial doctors looked at it together.

Soon, they all said unanimously: "Your Majesty, this anti-fetal medicine does not contain musk and safflower, but it does contain comfrey. Pregnant women must not eat it. Think about it, Concubine Zhao will..." It’s caused by comfrey.”
