After crossing, I was dragged by the bamboo horse and became a queen

Chapter 479
"Prince and Concubine." Lu Zhaoyi said with tears in her eyes: "The concubine asked herself to be cautious in every step in the harem. She has never offended anyone, and she has never tried to compete with others for anything. If the empress did not mention it that day, This, the concubine never imagined that she would be tricked by others."

"Mistress Zhaoyi must know that the Empress may not have any good intentions." Shangguan replied quietly.

"The concubine naturally knows." Lu Zhaoyi replied: "The concubine also knows that the queen's move is to use the concubine, but...but..."

Lu Zhaoyi covered her eyes, choked up and couldn't continue speaking.

Shangguanjing could understand her mood.Knowing that this is Empress Chen, she is the gunman, but she has to jump into this trap. Intellectually, she is very clear that she has been tricked by the empress, and she is being led away step by step, but emotionally, she cannot accept herself. Has been murdered for so many years.

However, what is even more unacceptable is that even if she willingly accepted the fact that she was being used, she still couldn't find out who was against her, or even how she was harmed.

This is what makes Lu Zhaoyi the most painful.

"Princess and concubine." Lu Zhaoyi reached out and grabbed Shangguan Jing's sleeves. Her hands used to be beautiful, white and delicate, and her fingers were slender and soft as if they were boneless.However, in a short period of time, the hands were already skinny and the veins were exposed.

"I beg you." Lu Zhaoyi wept and looked at Shangguanjing imploringly: "I know that you and His Royal Highness are very smart people, please help me. Even if I die, I still want To be a sensible ghost, Chen Qie wants to know who it is, and how did Chen Qie hurt Chen Qie when he was so careful."

"En." Shangguanjing held Lu Zhaoyi's hand backhand, and said nothing.She didn't agree to Lu Zhaoyi easily, but she didn't refuse either.

After pondering for a long time, she asked again: "Is it only the pulse condition of the eunuch who tasted the meal and the palace maid also showed signs of slight poisoning?"

"Yes!" Lu Zhaoyi nodded hastily, a few sparks burst out of her dead eyes instantly.Shangguanjing asked this question, which meant that she planned to take care of this trivial matter.

"The concubine thanked the crown princess!"

"The old man/concubine thanked the princess concubine!"

Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lu knelt down again.

When Shangguanjing reached out to help Mrs. Lu this time, Mrs. Lu avoided her hand.

The old lady raised her head, with tears in her eyes, and made a solemn promise to Shang Guanjing: "I know that this matter has nothing to do with the Crown Princess Concubine, and the empress is willing to intervene out of kindness. This kindness of the empress, Zhaoyi The empress will not let you down, and my Lu family will not let you down. From today onwards, the Lu family will only follow your mother."

Shangguan Jing looked at Mrs. Lu in surprise.Although the old lady is getting older, she can still tell that she had a pretty face when she was young, otherwise how could she have such a beautiful little daughter as Lu Zhaoyi.

When Shangguanjing made up her mind to intervene in this matter, she already thought that the Lu family would repay her.She was willing to meddle in her own business, firstly because Lu Zhaoyi was truly sympathetic, and secondly because she expected the Lu clan to give something back in court.

But she never expected that Mrs. Lu actually said that "only the Crown Princess is the one to follow the lead", and the loyalty of the Lu family was not expressed to the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, but to her alone.The entire Lu family chose to be her Shangguanjing's backing instead of showing loyalty to the future prince.

This is a bit interesting.

"Old lady, please get up and talk first." Shangguanjing helped old lady Lu with her own hands: "Don't worry, I won't ignore the matter of Mrs. Zhaoyi. It's just that it's not easy to find out this matter in a short time. Please Old Madam, Madame and Mistress Zhaoyi give me some time."

"As long as you are willing to help the princess, we will be grateful." Madam Lu replied quickly.

"Yingxia, Yingyue," Shangguan Jing said to the maid behind her, "you and Ruxin go outside and guard first, don't let anyone disturb you."

Yingxia, Yingyue and Lu Zhaoyi's maid Ruxin immediately nodded in understanding and led them out.

"Niang Niang," Shangguan Jing frowned and thought for a while, then asked again: "Are you suspicious?"

"Concubine Lin." Lu Zhaoyi answered without hesitation: "The concubine has thought about it carefully. Empress Chen is currently in the palace, and the person she most wants to get rid of is Concubine Lin. If this is really what Concubine Lin did, then Empress Chen should also do the same." It’s just that I knew about it, but I didn’t really grasp her handle, so I couldn’t do it myself, so I hope to use the hands of my concubine to uncover the matter.”

"En." Shangguan nodded quietly, not surprised by Lu Zhaoyi's answer.Lu Zhaoyi is not stupid, so she will definitely be able to figure this out right away.

"But I feel that Empress Chen can't escape the suspicion." Mrs. Lu added from the side: "Maybe Empress Chen is a way to bring trouble to the east. What she has done by herself has been wiped clean. Then hinted at putting blame on her, leading Empress Zhaoyi by the nose."

"My concubine feels the same way." Madam Lu also said, "If Empress Chen knew that Concubine Lin was planning to assassinate the concubines in the palace, why didn't she intervene?"

"Or are you happy to see it come to fruition?" Shangguanjing said: "When the princes lived well in the world, Empress Chen should not be willing to see another child born in the harem, threatening her status as a legitimate son. Therefore, it is very likely that she Knowing about it, but not interfering. The blame is on others, and she can benefit from just watching."

"Heh..." Lu Zhaoyi smiled miserably: "I ask myself that I haven't offended them. After so many years of careful worship of the queen, this is what I got in return. Why... why..."

"As long as it is done, there will be traces," Shangguan Jing replied: "Don't worry, let me think about it. By the way, the empress Zhaoyi should have called the imperial physician to check the pulse before, right? The previous imperial physician never said that the empress had Signs of poisoning?"

"The concubine also asked about this matter," Lu Zhaoyi replied: "Later, the imperial doctor Zhang who took the pulse of the concubine said that the toxicity was mild and easy to ignore. In fact, even the imperial physician Zhang told the concubine not to worry about it. If you are worried, drink some detoxification Nourishing soup is good, and you don’t even need to take medicine. If it wasn’t for the diagnosis that Chang Shan’s inner eunuch and maid were poisoned by the same poison as the concubine, the concubine would not have come here with suspicion.”

Well, I see.Shangguan nodded quietly, somewhat understanding what that doctor Zhang meant.This kind of mild poisoning phenomenon should not be uncommon in this era. For example, many cosmetics these days contain more or less poisonous things.

The women in the palace are okay, at least they can use expensive jasmine powder, and the ordinary women outside who use lead powder may be poisoned more often.

Not only women, but also men have a lot of opportunities to come into contact with poisons, such as various elixir, realgar wine, cold food powder, and the five-color medicine stone that was popular for a while, which one is not poisonous?
Not surprising.

　——Here is the dividing line of the Lu family’s allegiance——
　　The conditions put forward by the Lu family were very clear, let Xiao Jingjing take the lead to avenge Lu Zhaoyi, and the reward was that the whole family would serve Xiao Jingjing's allegiance.

　　Note that they did not pledge allegiance to the East Palace, but took refuge in the Crown Princess herself.

　　If the relationship between Jingjing and Hengheng, the young couple, is like the ordinary relationship between the prince and the princess, where they cooperate with each other, use each other, and check and balance each other, this condition is undoubtedly very attractive.

　　Mrs. Lu is different from the other old ladies. She really loves her daughter, and she really spends money to avenge her daughter.

　　However, to Xiao Jingjing, the attractiveness of this condition is average, because the relationship between her and Hengheng is "not normal", and the Lu family's loyalty to her is no different from that of Donggong.
