After reading my heart, my mother-in-law went crazy and I drank milk and melons.

Chapter 47 Concubine Shu proves herself
  Emperor Qingling stepped forward and pulled Concubine Shu up: "I said that you are not in good health, so you don't have to kneel down at all times. I feel sorry for you."

Concubine Shu let him pull her up, lowering her eyes and tugging at the corners of her mouth in silence.

Naturally, she could see Xian's face and thoughts, but no matter how much she thought about it, she would never have thought that she became so cautious after listening to Ying'an's inner voice.

Ying An didn't know exactly, but she had a rough guess.

It was probably because she had won the emperor's heart that the concubines were jealous, so they teamed up with others to take her life. The first step was to get rid of the most powerful person around her.

First it was Mi Chun, then Grandma Chen, and then she.

Mi Chun was in trouble and was sent to Xin Zheku. She brought Mi Chun to Qiankun Palace this time to tell Concubine Xian.

She wants to unravel her tricks step by step, and she wants Xianbi to watch her weave a huge net for herself, and in the end, the only one caught in the net is herself!
  Concubine Xian's eyebrows were horrified, and she stepped back step by step, murmuring: "No...impossible...how is it possible...how could you..."

Concubine Shu looked sideways at Concubine Xian, let go of Emperor Qing Ling's hand and said urgently: "Concubine Xian, what's wrong with you? Hurry, Doctor Xuan!"

Doctor Zhao, who had been waiting at the side, immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, Concubine Shu, I am here."

"Show Concubine Xian, why she suddenly turned pale." Concubine Shu said anxiously.

The other palace concubines also retreated and hid one after another.

Originally, it was scary enough to find a doll with the emperor's birth date printed on it in the harem, but now the concubine is actually crazy.

Could it be that there is really something unclean in this harem?
  Dr. Zhao checked Concubine Xian's pulse and treated her illness.

Concubine Shu glanced at the concubines and said in a cold voice: "No rumors of ghosts and gods are allowed in the harem. Someone must have done this deliberately. If I hear someone spreading rumors, I will never be merciful."

The concubines bowed their knees and said, "Concubines, I would like to follow the teachings of Concubine Shu."

Emperor Qingling remained silent and looked at Concubine Shu with appreciation hidden in his eyes.

He had never known before that his concubine Shu's stern words were so charming that he couldn't take his eyes away.

Concubine Shu turned around and supported Emperor Qing Ling: "Your Majesty, please sit down and have a rest. It will take some time to search the palace. There is no telling what Chief Wei will be able to find."

Emperor Qingling sat down, and Concubine Shu also sat down beside him.

"Mi Chun."

Mi Chun came forward with a food box.

Concubine Shu took out the soothing soup, first handed it to the poison-testing eunuch, and said warmly: "I made this bowl of soothing soup when I got up early in the morning, and I even got mud all over it. The emperor must cherish my concubine's words. It’s best to drink it all.”

When Emperor Qingling heard this, he curled his lips and said, "I will definitely taste the soothing soup that my beloved concubine has so much in mind."

As soon as he finished speaking, there were clattering footsteps outside the door.

The Royal Forest Army arrived, magnificent and majestic.

Wei Xin entered the Qiankun Palace with his sword in hand, ignored all the concubines, and knelt directly in front of Emperor Qing Ling.

"Wei Chen has met the emperor."

Emperor Qingling put away his thoughts and said with a deep look, "Did you find anything?"

Wei Xin raised his eyes and looked at Concubine Shu. The next moment, he took out a puppet from his sleeve. The workmanship was rough. At first glance, it looked like it was made by someone who was inexperienced. However, it was of the same category as those found in the Qiankun Palace.

For a moment, everyone's expressions changed drastically.

"what!"

Some of them were timid and screamed on the spot.

The next moment, he immediately knelt down and said, "I have lost my composure."

Emperor Qingling didn't even raise his eyes: "Wei Weiran, drag him to the cold palace." Wei Weiran immediately stepped forward and knelt: "Yes, Your Majesty."

The current batch of concubines really have no future.

The Emperor had a smile on his face since Concubine Shu's arrival, so they all relaxed their vigilance, as if the Emperor's improved mood had something to do with them, but little did they know that in the Emperor's heart, Concubine Shu was the only exception.

In front of Concubine Shu, the emperor will try his best to put away his fangs and indifference, and treat her with the gentlest mood.

He had been with the emperor for such a long time and had the most thorough view. Even when Concubine Shu was thrown into the cold palace, the emperor never said a harsh word.

The concubine who lost her composure was thrown into the cold palace. All the concubines present were wary of danger and did not dare to look the slightest bit strange again.

Mu Guiren, who was behind the crowd, also tried her best to hide her figure. She had a long-standing grudge with Shu Fei, and if she stood out now, she might be in trouble.

The queen was grounded again. As a queen, she could only behave with her tail between her legs.

Let Concubine Shu be more arrogant.

Emperor Qingling said in a deep voice: "Where did you find this?"

Wei Xin replied: "Go back to the small kitchen of Guangling Palace, Your Majesty."

As soon as the three words "Guangling Palace" came out, the entire Qiankun Palace fell into silence.

At this moment, Concubine Shu stood up and stepped forward, taking the doll from Wei Xin's hand. She seemed not to be affected by the awkward and embarrassing atmosphere at all, and looked at it carefully, with a smile on her lips.

Then she held the puppet up to her face and smiled like a spring breeze.

"Your Majesty, I just made a soothing soup for you. I was bored and carved a puppet in the woodshed. When I was carving, I was still thinking that if the emperor saw this puppet, he would definitely be angry with me. After all, I His craftsmanship is really unsatisfactory."

As she spoke, she stepped forward and handed over the puppet in her hand as if offering a treasure.

The anger that Emperor Qing Ling had just ignited was extinguished by her in an instant. He took the puppet in her hand and looked at it again and again.

He opened his lips and said, "Why did you remember to make such an ugly puppet for me?"

A palace concubine stretched her neck to look at the puppet in Emperor Qingling's hand. When she saw it, she curled her lips and sighed.

As for Concubine Shu's craftsmanship, she is really talentless and wants to show off, imitating others, which is ridiculous.

It is better to say that it is a doll than a wooden stick with facial features. It can only be seen that it is a person. As for who it is, it still needs to be investigated.

Concubine Shu took the doll, lowered her eyebrows and said, "The emperor asked me last night when I would think of you. I was just thinking about it when I was making the soothing soup, so I had a sudden idea and carved it with a wooden stick. When I married an emperor, I originally wanted to add the words "Peaceful country and people's peace, health and happiness", but who knew that the wooden stick I chose was too small to write on. After the soothing soup was ready, I casually placed the puppet in the small kitchen. On the table, I didn’t know what happened in the palace until the general guard came over, and I forgot that I had been bored in the kitchen and thought about the emperor. This thing should be fine, right?"

The more she spoke, the more anxious she became, as if she was afraid that something like this would happen to her and that she would be wrongly accused by the emperor.

Emperor Qing Ling looked into her eyes and really couldn't think of anything to blame.

Logically speaking, things like this are absolutely not allowed to appear in the harem, but how could he let down Concubine Shu's sincerity?

He leaned forward, took her hand and rubbed it: "You miss me so much, I just go to the morning court, and you think of me and make something of me?"

Concubine Shu lowered her eyes and stroked the puppet in her hand, smiling happily: "That's natural."

Concubine Xian lowered her eyes and took stock of the current situation.

Concubine Shu must have known about the appearance of the doll engraved with the emperor's birthday, so she acted like this to clear herself from suspicion.

With her craftsmanship, even if this doll is said to be hers, no one will believe it.

This self-certification is truly brilliant.

Wei Xin's voice sounded again: "Your Majesty, the needles and threads for making puppets and the wood of the same material have been found in the kitchen and bedroom of Guangling Palace, the flower beds and palace walls of Qiankun Palace, outside the walls of Chengqian Palace, and in the Leng Palace. According to The Dali Temple's investigation of the needlework techniques of the concubines living in the palace infers that this object should have been made by Mu Guiren, and the young master Jiang in the cold palace is also very suspicious."
