Chapter 394 The Truth About Zhou Tong's Death
This is what Su Qingyu was waiting for. If Su Xiangling refused to say it, it would be difficult for her to deal with things later.
It was not in vain that she said so many things and damaged Mr. Zhou's reputation.
Su Xiangling was also cautious and didn't speak loudly. Even the palace maids guarding outside should not have heard it.
Su Qingyu glanced towards the bathroom diagonally behind her, and her eyes returned to normal in an instant.
He asked Su Xiangling harshly, "Why did you want to kill her? How old were you at that time to be so cruel to a little girl?"
"That was a human life. How could you have the heart to do that?"
The look in Su Qingyu's eyes when she looked at Su Xiangling was strange and terrified.
Su Xiangling took two steps forward and shouted in a low voice, "It's all because of you."
Su Qingyu was stunned. What does this have to do with her?
Su Xiangling's expression suddenly calmed down, and she spoke in a low voice.
"You came to Qianzhou to visit your relatives. You were well dressed and well-groomed. Even your speech and manners were highly praised by the wives of officials."
"I cried and made a scene with my mother. She said it was your fault for growing up in a marquis' mansion in the capital, and she also said that we should just wait until we return to the capital."
"During those days, my parents had been preparing gifts for several important officials in the capital, but they were not valuable enough. Later, I heard that Madam Xu was seriously ill and needed Gastrodia elata that was more than 500 years old as medicine."
"My father asked many people, but couldn't find it. In fact, even if we found it, we couldn't afford it."
"Then I thought of Zhou Tong. She is a miracle doctor, and her father is also a miracle doctor. Maybe she has a connection."
"I heard that she went to Moon Mountain to collect herbs. I will wait for her at the entrance of the mountain."
"I was lucky. She happened to pick a Gastrodia elata that was more than 600 years old that day."
"I begged her to give me the herbs. But she refused, saying that they were still useful to me. She also said that if someone in my family was seriously ill, she would give them up. But I was using them to help my father get promoted, so she couldn't give them to me."
"I was very angry at the time. Only with that Gastrodia elata could I return to Beijing. I rushed over to grab it. She was carrying a medicine basket and her movements were not as nimble as mine."
"I...I didn't actually want to push her down the mountain. The mountains in Qianzhou are like that, with rocks and hills interlaced. The place where we argued was at the bottom of Moon Mountain, but I didn't expect there was a cliff not far away."
"I just pushed her gently and she fell down. And the herb fell down with her."
At this moment, Su Xiangling was sitting against the wall not far from Su Qingyu, her face as pale as paper, and she was breathing heavily.
She had never told anyone about this incident, and every time she woke up in the middle of the night, she would dream about the scene of Zhou Tong falling down.
The last time she saw Mr. Zhou, she was just pretending to be calm. The planning during these days made her heart rise to her throat.
Fortunately, this matter will soon be over. Once Su Qingyu dies, she will be able to completely end that nightmare.
Su Xiangling took two deep breaths, and when she stood up, her smug look returned to her face.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door from Xue Tao. "Your Majesty, the Concubine Xian sent someone to ask about you. She said if you are alright, you can go to the Imperial Garden to watch the lanterns with me."
Su Xiangling knew what Concubine Xian meant. Since she was pregnant with the Emperor's eldest grandson, it was natural for her to appear in such scenes more often.
She looked at Su Qingyu with pity and said, "The time is almost up. I won't watch you go on your journey."
He turned and walked to the door, then suddenly stopped but didn't look back.
"I will arrange for someone to come in later. Then Lord Shen will find that the elder sister and the palace guards are lying on the bed in dishevel. The elder sister died of a sudden heart palpitation because she was too excited."
The most important thing is that after this scandal is exposed, the emperor and the Shen family will only try their best to cover it up.
As for what exactly happened in Penglai Palace, no one would investigate it in detail.
Although this move would affect the Su family's reputation, she couldn't care less.
If he wanted the Emperor and the Shen family not to conduct a thorough investigation, he could only use the method of damaging Su Qingyu's reputation. Otherwise, considering how much Shen Zhixiu valued Su Qingyu, he might find out something.
What Su Xiangling didn't see was that Su Qingyu was staring at her back with a bright smile.
After leaving the room, Su Xiangling told Xue Tao at the door, "Send the people in later. Remember what I told you to do before, how to arrange it?"
Xue Tao nodded and said, "I've remembered everything. Your Majesty, just go and watch the lanterns."
Su Xiangling signaled Qianxue to follow her, as they couldn't stay here any longer.
After the two left, Xuetao went to the next room, carried out a fainted guard, and pushed the door into the room where Su Qingyu was locked up.
Su Qingyu looked at the two people who came in with surprise. She didn't expect that this little girl, although thin, was actually quite strong.
Xuetao took out a porcelain bottle from her arms, poured out two pills, and was about to stuff them into Su Qingyu's mouth.
He said, "Don't be offended, Madam. The Concubine said that if we want to put on a good show, we must do it well."
The thing was already at her lips, and Su Qingyu could vaguely smell the sweet taste. She thought Su Xiangling was really cautious, so even if the coroner performed an autopsy, they wouldn't be able to find anything unusual.
The cause of her death would be that she died of a sudden heart attack due to excessive excitement in bed. I have to say, this method is quite insidious.
Just as the pill was about to enter her mouth, Su Qingyu coughed lightly.
The next moment, Feicui stood up and a guard rushed out from the bathroom.
Following behind the guard was Mr. Zhou, whose face was ashen.
Feicui knocked Xuetao unconscious by herself, and tied up the unconscious guard together.
Su Qingyu looked at Mr. Zhou, bowed and said seriously: "If what I said just now offended you, please forgive me."
Mr. Zhou dodged and avoided Su Qingyu's gift.
"Third Madam, there is no need to say that. Those who achieve great things do not care about trivial matters. I know your true intentions and it cannot be said to be offensive."
As he spoke, his eyes were slightly red, probably because he was thinking of his daughter who died unjustly.
The guard with Mr. Zhou knelt on one knee at this moment, "Greetings to the Madam, this subordinate is Han Guang. The Third Master ordered that this subordinate will be at the Madam's disposal today."
Su Qingyu knew that this person was Shen Zhixiu's spy in the East Palace.
Shen Zhixiu had made all the necessary preparations for today's event. When Qianyue took Mr. Zhou out of the East Palace, she was stopped by Han Guang, who took Mr. Zhou into the bathroom through the back window.
These things were all discussed in advance by them. No matter where Su Xiangling attacked Su Qingyu, Han Guang would ensure that Mr. Zhou heard what Su Xiangling said.
Su Qingyu had already thought about how to deal with Su Xiangling. At this moment, she was thinking about the final details with her head down. She couldn't make a mistake today and definitely couldn't give Su Xiangling a chance to turn things around.
Seeing that Su Qingyu hadn't spoken for a long time, Mr. Zhou couldn't help but ask, "Madam San, what are we going to do next? If I don't get rid of her today, I won't be able to get rid of the hatred in my heart."
Su Qingyu pulled Mr. Zhou aside and asked in a low voice, "Sir, I heard that there is a secret technique in Southern Xinjiang that uses a person's horoscope... to..."
The matter was of great importance, so Su Qingyu spoke in a low voice.
Zhou Xian nodded repeatedly and replied a few more words. Finally, a smile appeared on Su Qingyu's face.
She then asked Feicui to find needle and thread, and asked Han Guang to go back to the East Palace to get the things.
She took out Su Xiangling's divination from her bosom, and the prince's horoscope was engraved on the back.
She guessed that Su Xiangling would not dare to bring this thing into the palace, so she sent someone to Su's house to get it yesterday.
After everything was ready, Su Qingyu handed the thing in her hand to Han Guang, "Put this thing in Concubine Su's room."
After Han Guang left, Su Qingyu looked at Mr. Zhou.
"It's time for us to go to the Imperial Garden and give a big gift to my good sister."
