Rebirth of the scholarly lady

Chapter 372
Everyone surrounded the emperor and came to the brightly lit lotus pond.

Because of Concubine Lian's inadvertent reminder, the imperial concubine anxiously searched beside the lotus pond.

Beside the lotus pond stands a group of rockery with jagged rocks.

Next to the rockery group are towering trees.

These places have always been Wan Yue's secret garden.

Princess Wanyue is very active and likes to climb everywhere. She always wants to climb higher. She probably thinks that this can highlight her strength. No matter how much the adults persuade her, she still goes her own way. She doesn't have much strength, but she is working hard every day.

Also because of this, Princess Wanyue disappeared after Sun Liangdi's accident happened, which raised the hearts of everyone who knew Princess Wanyue's character.

The imperial concubine desperately called Princess Wanyue's name, completely forgetting her own identity and the strict rules of the royal family towards concubines, all she wanted was to find her daughter as soon as possible.

When the slaves hold up their lanterns to illuminate the lotus pond, even the fish can be seen clearly.

A white figure was exposed in the center of Lianchi.

Looking at that slender figure, it is clearly an older woman, not a child. The imperial concubine's first reaction was to breathe a sigh of relief. For such a big person, she must not be Princess Wanyue. But then, she took a step back suddenly. ...This is not Princess Wanyue, but... this... this is a dead person!
Everyone rushed over, because the servants illuminated the place like daylight, everyone saw the corpse in the middle of the lotus pond at first glance, only to hear Concubine Zhang De let out a heart-piercing scream: " Concubine Shu—someone, hurry up, save her!"

That brocade robe, the jewelry on the hairpin in the messy hair, is clearly Concubine Yu Shu.

Although Concubine Zhang De cried out so mournfully and the servants were in a hurry, everyone's mood became heavy.

Concubine Yu Shu is not struggling in the water, but is motionless in the middle of the lotus pond... I'm afraid this is more ominous, right?

When the servants "rescued" Concubine Yu Shu, she had already died for a long time.

Concubine Zhang De suddenly rushed over, ignoring the wet pool, hugged Concubine Yu Shu's body, and cried loudly: "Sister Concubine Shu, wake up, wake up—what's going on here?"

That's right, Concubine Zhang De said just now that Concubine Yu Shu was looking for earrings on the way back and forth. Why did she find the earrings in the lotus pond?

The emperor who walked over quickly was also dumbfounded. He glanced at Concubine Lian without a trace, and clearly saw the gloating flash in Concubine Lian's eyes. Immediately, Concubine Lian changed into an expression of anxiety and grief.

The emperor's heart suddenly became gloomy. She never imagined that Concubine Lian, who is good at learning, gentle and charming, and talented, would have such a heart of snake and scorpion, so vicious, so sinister, and so vicious. One, so...

The queen looked at it coldly, and ordered the servant next to her: "Quickly, go and ask the imperial physician—"

Anyone with a discerning eye would know that Concubine Yu Shu was already dead.

Concubine Zhang De had a good relationship with Concubine Yu Shu on weekdays, but at this moment her good sister died inexplicably, she looked at Concubine Yu Shu's blue face, tears burst out uncontrollably.

At this time, the imperial concubine's thoughts were still on Princess Wanyue. Concubine Yu Shu had found it, and it had already turned into a corpse, but Princess Wanyue's whereabouts were still unknown.

Seeing that everyone had already focused their attention on the dead Concubine Yu Shu, the Imperial Concubine couldn't help but said, "How could this Concubine Yu Shu, who is so well behaved, slip into the lotus pond? She is not unfamiliar with this place. "

At this time, the imperial physician hurried over to check on Concubine Yu Shu's condition, but finally she could only shake her head and apologize to the emperor.

Everyone didn't dare to take a breath. They went to the palace to have a banquet in such a good manner, but encountered a serious case involving human life, which may also involve the secret history of the royal family.

Too many things happened tonight. The emperor's tense nerves have been relieved because of the solution to the disaster area and the success of the people's situation.

However, after these major issues outside were resolved, the shady activities in the harem surfaced again, and the emperor couldn't help feeling a big headache.

At this time, Concubine Zhang De raised her head suddenly, her eyes were red and she said: "Your Majesty, Sister Concubine Shu is the most familiar with this place, she will definitely not fall into the water by mistake."

Concubine Lian coughed and said, "Concubine Zhang De, just now you said that Concubine Yu Shu left the table because she was looking for earrings?"

Concubine Zhang De said: "Yes, she was sitting next to me just now, and my concubine asked her why she lost an earring today, and she discovered that it was a gift from the emperor. She was very anxious, so she just told her concubine, I just said that the earring must have been lost on the road, and I have to find it, but who would have encountered such a misfortune..."

"That's your one-sided statement. You were the last person to see Concubine Yu Shu. There is no other witness. Who knows if what you said is true or not?" Concubine Lian squinted.

Hearing this sentence, Concubine Zhang De's eyes widened, "What did you say?"

Concubine Lian looked at Concubine Zhang De indifferently, "Concubine Zhang De, you and Concubine Yu Shu are good sisters and have always been inseparable. Today, it is really unusual for her to go back to find the earrings alone."

Concubine Zhang De practiced dance hard recently, and her body became sick from overwork. Concubine Yu Shu naturally knew about it, so she didn't let Concubine Zhang De follow. Concubine Zhang De did what she could, so she didn't follow.

Seeing that Concubine Zhang De was emotionally unstable, the Empress stepped forward and said, "Concubine Lian, you are confused. Concubine Zhang De is in poor health recently and has been bedridden after taking a lot of side effects. Concubine Yu Shu and her are good sisters, so naturally they will not Letting a weak person suffer, I can testify that Concubine Zhang De attended the banquet with Concubine Yu Shu, and Concubine Yu Shu left by herself."

"Empress, the master of this palace has never done things by himself, you should know it in your heart." Concubine Lian smiled slightly.

The implication is that people are going to be harmed in this palace, and the master has always let the slaves do it, who would do it himself?
Concubine Lian's words made it worse for Concubine Zhang De. However, what she wanted to deal with was of course not Concubine Zhang De. Concubine Zhang De was just an appetizer.

Good show, behind it!
It was a good banquet, and this kind of thing happened.

Moreover, a group of princes and nobles watched the corpse of the palace concubine, how decent is this?

The queen frowned immediately and said: "Come here, quickly carry Concubine Yu Shu down."

Several young eunuchs rushed forward to carry Concubine Yu Shu, Concubine Zhang De immediately grabbed her body tightly and did not let go.

Concubine Zhang De knew that if people were to carry Concubine Yu Shu's body down at this time, the Emperor and Empress would definitely want to cover up the truth of this matter.

In addition to Concubine Lian's words just now, the spearhead is clearly directed at Concubine Zhang De, and Concubine Zhang De is unwilling to take the blame for that non-existent scapegoat no matter what.
