Empress, she is rising step by step

Chapter 57 Framed

Eunuch Song wrapped the paper bag and put it in his sleeve, explaining with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

"Wild cats will go into heat in the spring. If the beast smells this thing, it will have a bad temper, attack people actively, and will be extremely ferocious."

"So, the reason why the imperial concubine was hit by a wild cat that day was because she smelled this thing."

Wen Yuanyuan pointed at Cao Wenxi, "Okay, Cao Baolin, you are so brave! You dared to murder the imperial concubine and the emperor's heir in her belly. I didn't expect you to be such a person. Why did you want to harm the imperial concubine? ?”

"It's really not the concubine who did it. I only met the imperial concubine that day when I went to Zhaoyang Palace to pay my respects to the empress. There is no grudge between the concubine and the empress, so why did she want to harm her."

Cao Wenxi's palms were covered with cold, sticky sweat, and his heart was beating fast. Why must the literary beauty want her to die?

How did she put the medicine in? Did she bribe the people around her or was it for other reasons?

"How did the medicine get into the concubine's house? Wenmei knows it in her heart. The concubine would like to say again, this medicine does not belong to the concubine, and the concubine did not murder the imperial concubine and the emperor's heir! Even if the concubine reaches the emperor, she will not I dare to say that."

"You mean I wronged you? This medicine was found in your house. If you don't have evidence, you are slandering me."

Wen Yuanyuan sneered. Everyone can prove that this medicine belongs to her, and even if she has a good relationship with Zhu Yunv, it is impossible to save her.

Zhu Yunv is not stupid, how could she possibly anger the imperial concubine and the emperor for her sake.

So what if she doubted herself, and she had no witnesses or physical evidence. She just waits obediently for the emperor to punish her. Don't blame her for being cruel, she really doesn't like her.

She felt unlucky as soon as she saw her face. Who would see someone she hates jumping around in front of her all day long?

"Eunuch Song, this matter is of great importance. You should go back and report it to the emperor quickly. Later, we will ask someone to interrogate this vicious woman!"

Eunuch Song had been in the palace for many years, so how could he not see the key point here and not know that Cao Wenxi was unjustly accused.

But who told her that she was not favored? He led people to search for the medicine. Regardless of whether it was her fault or not, the medicine was found in her room anyway. If you want to blame him, you can't blame him.

It can only be said that her own life is not good. Who knows who she has offended.

Eunuch Song asked people to close the doors and windows tightly and keep an eye on Cao Wenxi. He hurried back to report to Shen Que.

Cao Wenxi watched helplessly as the palace door slowly closed with a creaking sound. Seeing that it was about to rain, the light in the palace was extremely dark, and once the door was closed, it was even more difficult to see.

Cao Wenxi stood blankly, feeling cold all over his body. It was almost midsummer, but the room was extremely cold.

Yueran lit the candle and the room lit up again, "Why did Wenmei frame you? Since the master moved into Weiyang Palace, he has always been very respectful to Wenmei. Instead, she finds fault with the master every day. , causing trouble for the master. This time, I will put your life to death."

She looked at Cao Wenxi and was on the verge of tears, "Master, what should we do now? I'm afraid the emperor won't investigate at all and will directly convict you."

Cao Wenxi murmured in a low voice, "I really want to know why Wen Meiren did this to me! Maybe she hates me and feels that I am bothering her by hanging around in front of her eyes all day long, so I might as well get rid of her completely. Pure.”

She recalled how she disliked her cousin when she first met her as a child. She couldn't describe how disgusted she was. She never appeared where she was. Later, her cousin lost her footing and fell into an icy lake and asked her for help. She ignored her and turned around without hesitation.

In the end, the cousin drowned in the icy lake because no one rescued her. Later, the boy at the house found that when she was fished out, her whole body was covered with ice. Actually speaking, she doesn’t have any deep hatred towards her cousin. The cousin looked down upon her because she was a concubine and her biological mother was an opera student, so she treated her like a rough maid.

She didn't know why she was so cruel at the time. She would rather watch her cousin drown than reach out to rescue her. Later, she thought maybe she was too annoying.

This is probably how Wen Meiren feels about her. Wen Meiren hates her, so she wants her to die.

"Master, don't say that. If Wenmei doesn't want to live with you in Weiyang Palace, just find an excuse to tell the Queen to let you move to another palace. Why do you have to use such an insidious method? This can only explain Wenmei. A beautiful woman has a vicious heart."

Yue Ran doesn’t want to die. Regardless of whether the master did this or not, once he is confirmed, not only the master, but also she will die.

Since she entered the palace, she has been dispatched every day in the Clothing Bureau, and all the dirty work is hers. Later, she was assigned to work beside her master. She thought she was finally coming through, but her master was ill for several years.

Finally, the mistress is almost recovered from her illness and is willing to fight for favor. But this happened again. Why is she so unlucky?

"Master, I have to think of a way to save myself from the fire and water. If something happens to you, the white-haired aunt at home will send the black-haired one, and I am afraid she will also go with her. I wish you a good relationship with me. , do you want to write a letter and ask the slave to give it to Princess Zhu?"

When Cao Wenxi came back to his senses, it started raining outside the window. It seemed as if someone had torn a big hole in the sky and rain poured down. The sky and the earth were suddenly white.

"I'm afraid that Princess Zhu won't help me. This matter concerns the emperor's heir, and Princess Zhu is on the same side as the imperial concubine. I have no use value or interest for her, so how could she do it? Offend the imperial concubine for me."

But in addition to her good relationship with Zhu Yunu, the other person in the palace was Yan Baolin. Not to mention that they might not be able to help, even if they agreed to help her, they might not be able to do anything about it.

Does she really want to wait quietly for death? She is still so young and doesn't even have children. If she dies, what will her aunt do? I'm afraid that the people in the big house won't tolerate my aunt at all, and my father is henpecked.

No, she couldn't sit still and wait for death, even if there was only a glimmer of hope, she would give it a try!

"But I can't say so decisively. Maybe Lady Zhu really regards me as a sister and is willing to help me? Anyway, both sides are going to die, so it's better to give it a try. Maybe there is a way out."

Zhu Ci sat crookedly on the couch, holding her chin, listening to the sound of rain outside, and thinking about everything that happened during the day.

"It rains every day. It's more changeable than a child's face. I'm afraid the rain won't stop for two or three days."

Zhuying hunched her neck and walked in with the soup, "The medicine is ready."

Before Zhuying walked in, Zhu Ci smelled a medicinal smell.

"This medicine smells really bitter, and it's dark like poison."

"No medicine tastes good. It's only effective when it's bitter. Master, you have to drink it while it's hot for the best effect. I'm afraid it will cause diarrhea when it's cold."
