Abandoned Concubine's Promotion

Chapter 331 The Instigator
Hearing Su Qingyan's question, Li Shuhua subconsciously turned her head and looked at Zhang Jieyu. Seeing Li Shuhua like this, Zhang Jieyu took a deep breath before speaking.

"I ask Chen Zhaoyi to forgive me. I brought Li Shuhua to plead for Chen Zhaoyi." She gave Li Shuhua a look and signaled her to kneel down. Zhang Jieyu looked at Su Qingyan and spoke again.

"I heard that Chen Zhaoyi's Guanju Palace invited an imperial physician today. Speaking of this matter, it is true that Li Shuhua was confused for a while, so she did something wrong. I ask Chen Zhaoyi to forgive her."

Zhang Jieyu hadn't had time to ask about the specific matters. After all, the news in the harem spread quickly, and the investigation was also quick. If the person in charge of the investigation arrives before they come to plead guilty, there will be no chance of turning over. .

Su Qingyan leaned on the soft bed, and raised her eyebrows when Zhang Jieyu finished speaking. She didn't expect that it was Li Shuhua who did it.

It has been four years since she entered the palace. In Su Qingyan's impression, Li Shuhua has always been a timid person.

Although there were some misunderstandings last time, Su Qingyan didn't take it to heart. Being misunderstood is not a big deal, as long as the explanation is clear.

But this time, she didn't expect it at all.

On the way back from Yanqing Palace to Guanju Palace, Su Qingyan thought more than once, who could it be that wanted to assassinate her?
She thought about the Queen, Concubine Xian, Jin Jieyu, and even doubted Concubine Rong, but she never thought that the matter would be done by the cowardly Li Shuhua.

After finishing speaking, Zhang Jieyu carefully looked at Su Qingyan, and saw that although she was surprised but not angry, she felt relieved.

Stretching out her hand, Zhang Jieyu tugged at Li Shuhua's clothes and motioned for Li Shuhua to speak. Li Shuhua knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Su Qingyan, "Please Chen Zhaoyi, please spare my concubine. I was also obsessed with ghosts for a while, and I listened to the instigation." I ask Chen Zhaoyi to spare my concubine's family for the sake of entering the palace together."

Hearing Li Shuhua's voice, Su Qingyan came back to her senses. She glanced at Zhang Jieyu, then at Li Shuhua who was kneeling on the ground, kowtowing constantly.

"What is Li Shuhua doing, don't kowtow." Seeing that Li Shuhua's head turned red, Su Qingyan said quickly, signaling Zitan to support Li Shuhua.

"Li Shuhua, it's not impossible for Ben Gong to forgive you, but you have to answer a few questions of Ben Gong, you must answer truthfully, can you hear clearly?"

Su Qingyan heard everything Li Shuhua said just now, and she noticed that there was a very important sentence in the words, that is, Li Shuhua listened to other people's instigation, so she attacked herself.

"Chen Zhaoyi, please tell me, the concubine will know everything." Li Shuhua's head was a little dizzy due to the kowtow, but she still spoke, responding to Su Qingyan's words.

"Sit down and talk." Hearing Su Qingyan's order, Li Shuhua hesitated. Although Zitan held her back, she still knelt on the ground and did not dare to get up.

"Since you promised me to know everything, it means that you will listen to what I say. Now that I just ask you to sit down, are you going to disobey?" Seeing that Li Shuhua didn't move, Su Qingyan said more With a trace of coercion, Li Shuhua quickly got up, and then sat down.

Sitting on the chair, Zhang Jieyu looked at Su Qingyan like this, and then saw Li Shuhua like this, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"Li Shuhua, let me ask you, why did you come to plead guilty?" After Li Shuhua sat down, Su Qingyan took a sip of the water beside her, then looked at Li Shuhua, and asked her.

Hearing Su Qingyan's question, Zhang Jieyu turned to look at Li Shuhua. She also wanted to know, what did Li Shuhua do?After coming to Guanju Palace, she secretly looked at Chen Zhaoyi, and she seemed to be fine.

"Returning to Chen Zhaoyi, this concubine...it was the concubine who spilled oil on the steps of the side hall of Yanqing Palace. I was thinking that the bluestone steps are slippery when exposed to water and oil. If you fall, then...you can't Competing for favor."

After hesitating for a while, Li Shuhua finally opened her mouth and answered Su Qingyan's question. Hearing what she said, Su Qingyan was right.

"I'll ask you again, who provoked you?" This point is very crucial, Su Qingyan guessed that it should be done by the empress, if the empress can really be found out, that would be a great thing.

However, imagination and reality are always different. This time, Li Shuhua's answer was obviously faster than before, "Huichen Zhaoyi is a court lady next to my concubine, named Lianxiang, and she provoked my concubine."

"Lianxiang? Is she someone you brought into the palace? Or someone sent by the palace to your side?" Su Qingyan knew that even if the queen instructed her, it was impossible for her to appear in person, and it was likely that someone else would do it, so The origin of this lotus fragrance is still very important.

"The concubine didn't bring Lianxiang from home, but it was allocated to the concubine in the palace. Since the concubine entered the palace, she has been with the concubine. The maid brought by the concubine from home fell ill a while ago. , because there was no one to heal him, so he has already gone.”

Speaking of this, Li Shuhua's voice couldn't help but feel a little sad. After all, she grew up with her, so her feelings are naturally deep, but in the harem, without favor, there is no status.

Not to mention that the maid beside her is sick, even if she herself is sick, she may not be able to get proper medical treatment.

"Where is Lianxiang now?" I heard that it was sent to Li Shuhua from the palace. Su Qingyan continued to ask. Although she sympathized with what happened to Li Shuhua, she was helpless. After all, she had lived through those days before. Pass.

In the harem, the unloved master is worse off than a slave. Not only that, the slaves in the harem are also used to stepping on the low and praising the high. She has experienced all of this before.

Although it was sympathy, Su Qingyan understood that it was impossible for her to cede the emperor, just like Concubine Rong didn't want to cede the empress position.

"Lianxiang should still be in the center of Qiushui. When Sister Zhang and my concubine came out, no one followed them." After adjusting her mood, Li Shuhua responded. Su Qingyan looked at Zitan, Zitan understood, and raised her foot towards the outside of the hall go.

If that Lianxiang is really the queen's person, or someone else's person, then she will become very important, and she must find Lianxiang before others, otherwise, the clue will be broken.

After Zitan left, Su Qingyan turned her eyes to Li Shuhua again, "I didn't step on the oil you poured on the blue stone steps, and the injured one was my mother, but it's not a serious problem, just I sprained my ankle and need to rest for a while."

After Su Qingyan finished speaking, both Zhang Jieyu and Li Shuhua couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. If they didn't make a big mistake, they could be forgiven. At least, they could fight for a lighter punishment.

"You should be thankful that it was Ben Gong's mother who stepped on it first. If Ben Gong stepped on it, not only you, but even your family members will not end well, because Ben Gong is now...pregnant."
