Chapter 974: Come and ask for forgiveness
"Your Majesty, calm down. She is a villain who has achieved success. She will eventually fall."

This palace maid really didn't know how to flatter, so she hit Concubine Li's horse's hoof directly with this sentence: "Then tell me, when did she fall down?"

The maid stammered and couldn't answer, so Concubine Li kicked her in the heart.

"Useless thing, I am a fourth-rank imperial concubine, how can I just sit there and wait for death?"

Of course, she doesn't have to do it herself now. Some time ago, Liu Cairen was ready to make a move and wanted to use her as a gun. Now she is forced to be a pawn and experience it.

Su Yixin smiled, waved to her trusted palace maid, whispered a few words in her ear, and the palace maid nodded and left.

Three days later, Concubine Ye suffered from unbearable abdominal pain.

Several imperial doctors have examined her pulse but have been unable to find the cause. Concubine Ye feels that she might have been plotted against by the women in the harem. In this situation, she has to seek help from His Majesty.

Otherwise, you won’t even know how you died.

"What, Your Majesty went to Huilan Palace to see Concubine Ye?"

"Yes, and I also brought the imperial physician Wang to diagnose Lady Ye's pulse."

Li Jieyu calmed down after hearing the three words of Wang Yuyi: "Did you find anything?"

"What the royal doctor said is that her illness is not an ordinary disease, but someone is using witchcraft to harm her."

Concubine Li stared at the palace maid who answered the question with a gloomy look.

The palace maid's scalp tingled.

What on earth was wrong with what she said? The look in Concubine Jieyu's eyes just now was really terrifying.

"Go down and keep an eye on it. If there is any movement, report it immediately. Do you understand?"

"Yes, the servant understands."

After the maid went down, the maid took the initiative to squat down and rub Li Jieyu's legs: "Your Majesty, this is a good plan. If His Majesty knew that Concubine Liu used forbidden techniques in the palace, not only her, but also the Liu family would be implicated by her."

However, Concubine Li was not very happy.

"My lady, don't you want Lady Liu to get involved?"

Li Jieyu: "I don't care whether she lives or dies. I just wonder, Concubine Liu is not a stupid person, why would she use such a method to deal with Concubine Ye?"

She is just a noble lady named Ye. Even if you want to get rid of her, there is no need to use such a method. The key point is that she just has a stomachache and is not dead.

The risk is too high and the benefit is too small, it's not worth it.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

Li Jieyu curled her lips and asked, "How long has it been since Concubine Liu came to Yufu Palace?"

The personal maid thought for a moment and said, "It must have been several months."

This means that since the last showdown, Liu Cairen has not set foot in Yufu Palace again, and she can only be seen during ordinary sister gatherings.

"Change your clothes and go to Liuyun Palace."

After washing up, the maid supported Concubine Li and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, Concubine Liu never came to our Yufu Palace. Now your Majesty condescended to go to Liuyun Palace. Do you think there is something strange going on there?"

Li Jieyu: "You are worthy of following me for so many years."

Li Jieyu was sitting on the sedan chair, holding an exquisite fan with flower and bird patterns in her hand, fanning herself.

"Talented lady, the Concubine is here."

Lady Liu looked at the palace maid who came in through the curtain in surprise: "Who did you say is here?"

"I haven't seen you for a few months. Could it be that Miss Liu is hard of hearing? The palace people explained it so clearly, but you couldn't hear it."

Concubine Li went straight into the inner hall.

Liu Cairen immediately lifted her skirt, took a step forward and knelt down: "I pay my respects to the Concubine, the Lady Concubine."

"This is your own place, there's no need to be so polite." After saying that, he sat down in the seat where Liu Cairen had just sat. Liu Cairen could only sit below him.

She looked around and said, "This is my first time here. Your things are really shabby. There are not many valuable things."

Liu Cairen choked up and could only hold back her anger: "Of course I am not as noble as the Concubine Jieyu. The weather is so hot, I wonder why the Concubine Jieyu came to my Liuyun Palace at this time?"

"Of course there is something wrong." Li Jieyu handed the fan in her hand to the palace maid behind her and leaned back comfortably: "Have you heard about the abdominal pain of Concubine Ye?"

"This has already spread throughout the harem, so I naturally know about it."

"Then do you think there is something strange about Lady Ye's illness?"

Upon hearing this, Lady Liu looked at Concubine Li in confusion and said, "Your Majesty, I don't quite understand what you are saying."

"I don't care whether you really don't understand or are just pretending not to understand. I'm here just to remind you to be careful about the twists and turns here. Don't just think about hurting others, but also use your brain to avoid being framed without knowing it."

After saying this, Li Jieyu stood up happily and said, "I just came out to get some fresh air after being bored in the palace all day. I'm leaving now!"

"Farewell, Lady Concubine."

After everyone left, Liu Cairen's face became gloomy.

She understood what Concubine Li said just now.

Lady Ye's illness was not as simple as abdominal pain, but he simply had people tamper with her diet. His original intention was to let her suffer a little first and destroy her prestige during this period.

Now it seems that someone wants to kill two birds with one stone and get rid of Concubine Ye and her at the same time.

She didn't tell anyone about this.

The only thing that was known was the few palace maids who served her closely.

Could it be that one of them betrayed her?

Thinking of this possibility, Liu Cairen could no longer remain calm. He wanted to summon them all immediately to ask them clearly, but after thinking about it, he decided to observe first.

After two days of careful observation, Liu Cairen finally found some clues.

It was the palace maid named Bai Zhu who betrayed her.

Bai Zhu explained that it was Empress Chongyi who asked her to do so.

"Empress Chongyi?"

Why is she trying to make things difficult for herself?

After much thought, Liu Cairen couldn't figure out how she had offended her.

"She gave me thirty taels of silver and asked me to put this thing under the big tree behind Liuyun Palace. I really don't know anything else."

When Qi Chongyi first entered the palace, she was just a talented person like her. In just a few years, her position remained unchanged, while Qi Chongyi rose rapidly and was promoted five levels.

You know, although Concubine Ye was favored, His Majesty did not promote her position.

They really couldn't understand what Your Majesty was doing.

However, compared to Qi Chongyi, who has little presence, the favored and flamboyant Concubine Ye is their biggest concern now.

But Liu Cairen didn't expect that Qi Chongyi would take action against her.

After much deliberation, Concubine Liu decided to confess to the emperor. At most, she had drugged Qi Chongyi. Qi Chongyi used forbidden techniques in the harem and framed others. She could not escape the death penalty, but it would be impossible for her to gain a foothold in the palace again.

"Your Majesty, Talented Lady Liu requests to see you."

Zhao Rui knew very well why Liu Cairen came here.

So they were very happy to invite the person in.

"I see you, Your Majesty."

Normally, one only needs to kneel and salute. As soon as Liu Cairen came in, she bowed her head and said, "Your Majesty, I come here to apologize."
