The emperor's scheming: alluring the world

Chapter 90
Li Sister-in-law's words made the eldest princess feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. She understood that it was not that Wu Haolong had any way to drag Ling'er into the water, but that Li Sister-in-law had the means to decide everything. Li Yisheng felt a little grateful for the attack on Empress Wu, so he wanted to take the opportunity to unite with Li Yi to deal with her.

With a bitter smile, the eldest princess didn't pretend anymore, she just sneered coldly: "Hello, you are so kind, when Moshu approached me and offered to cooperate, you should have taught every word she said, and Yinhuang You were the one who came up with the plan to discover Wu's true face!"

Li Meizhen did not evade this time, she praised with a smile: "The eldest princess is really smart, you guessed it, and I could only do this at that time, if I ran to tell you, you probably wouldn't I will take it seriously, so I can only let Aunt Mo take the lead, and the fact proves that my approach is correct, because you, the eldest princess, accepted my proposal!"

After hearing what Li Sister-in-law said, the Eldest Princess only felt a great humiliation: "Over the years, you have been so generous in sending expensive things to my house, and it's not because you are simply easy to deceive, but because you saw that I was greedy for small profits. Personality, deliberately do what I like!"

Li Meiying nodded without denying it and said: "Money is something outside of the body, and you can earn it back after using it. Besides, the rewards given to me by the emperor every year are rich enough, so I don't care about that little thing. Since the eldest princess likes it, of course I will." Give generously, you know I've always been generous."

"You..." The sarcasm became stronger, the eldest princess stood up abruptly, pointed at Li Sister-in-law, she swallowed the scolding words when she came to her lips, she sat back on the chair unwillingly, and changed the topic Getting down to business, he said: "Don't worry, if Li Yi finds me, I won't cooperate with him, so you should be relieved!"

With this promise, Li Meizhen stood up gracefully, patted the dust that did not exist on her body, and said something to stimulate the eldest princess: "I have always been at ease, the future of Xianling is in my hands, I Why don't you worry, I'm just afraid that the Eldest Princess won't see her situation clearly, so I kindly came here to remind her."

After Li Meizhen finished speaking, she took Yun Yu and left, leaving behind the princess who was jumping on her feet angrily, taking the furniture and porcelain in the room to vent her anger.

In Chengfu Hall, Liu Yuanzheng checked Li Changning's food, and finally found something strange in the bowl of nectar left, but he didn't say anything, but checked other dishes, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, he first pointed to the wine glass Said: "Who is pouring wine for Princess Ning?"

Hearing the imperial doctor's question, the other older maid serving Li Changning trembled, she stood up and stammered, "It's the servant who poured the wine for the princess, but the slave never dared to frame the princess, the emperor's lesson, the king's lesson .”

Emperor Cheng thought that there was something wrong with the wine, so he ignored the maid, only looked at Liu Yuanzheng and said, "But there are red flowers in the wine?"

Liu Yuanzheng shook his head, and asked the maid again: "The dishes on the princess's table have been touched, and those have not been touched."

The maid hurriedly said one by one, and finally Liu Yuan pointed to the bowl of nectar and said: "This nectar is prepared by the princess, I see that there is no other table."

The servant girl glanced at the queen, and replied with some anxiety: "This nectar is not prepared by the princess, but given to the princess by the empress. It is said that it has excellent moisturizing and beautifying effects, and the taste of this nectar is also very good It is fragrant and sweet, the princess likes it very much, so she ate more."

After confirming who the nectar came from, Liu Yuanzheng said to Emperor Cheng: "Your Majesty, the problem lies in the nectar. This nectar is brewed with a variety of fresh flower honeys that have miraculous nourishing effects, including safflower. It’s just that the amount of safflower in this nectar is too heavy, because someone added safflower nectar to it in order to make Princess Ning have a miscarriage.”

As soon as Liu Yuanzheng's words came out, Empress Wu was the most shocked. This nectar is her secret weapon. There are two formulas, one is really effective in beautifying the skin, and the other is mixed with a small amount of safflower, usually It is rewarded to pregnant concubines in the harem to eat. Because of the small amount and the strong fragrance of flowers, it is not easy to be found. Moreover, with the accumulation of consumption, it will naturally cause pregnant concubines to slip naturally. If you do not check the food, there will be no traces. Can't see it.

The imperial concubine, who had been watching coldly, seemed to think of something when she heard the words, but she opened her mouth, and finally swallowed the words that came to her lips.

Concubine Liang is different, she will not let go of any opportunity to suppress Empress Wu, so she pretended to be surprised and said: "Your Majesty, speaking of this nectar, this concubine thinks that this nectar is the empress's unique recipe. The concubine asks for it but still can't get it, only the pregnant concubines in the palace are eligible to be rewarded by the queen empress to eat nectar, but anyone who has eaten nectar seems to have failed to keep the child in the end."

As soon as Concubine Liang said this, there was no doubt that she intended to challenge her. Naturally, Emperor Cheng would not listen to one side or believe it. He just ordered someone to go to the Queen's Palace to collect the existing nectar for Liu Yuanzheng to check.

Empress Wu glared at Concubine Liang fiercely, but her heart was filled with panic. She had already disposed of the nectar mixed with red flowers, and there was no way in the palace. The portion Li Changning ate was the same as what she ate. Thinking of this , Empress Wu seemed to catch something, and hurriedly said to Liu Yuanzheng: "Liu Yuanzheng, the nectar that Princess Ning ate and what I ate were poured out of the same porcelain cup. Look at this bowl of nectar that Bengong ate. .”

Concubine Liang who was at the side interjected angrily after hearing the words: "Sister, naturally there will be no red flowers in the nectar in your bowl, who would be so stupid to make fun of your own body. Besides, you intend to harm Princess Ning, how can you let your own Red flowers appeared in the bowl, ruining the only evidence of your innocence! Anyway, there are so many people who have dealt with it, you can just rely on the maid."

Concubine Liang's voice fell, and a court lady behind the empress suddenly knelt down and said: "The emperor forgives the sin, and the empress empress forgives the sin. The red flowers were added to Princess Ning's nectar by the servant girl when something happened in Yilan Pavilion. Unwilling to be suppressed by Sister Liang, I became malicious for a while, this matter has nothing to do with the empress, everything is the fault of the servant."

Empress Wu did not expect that Xianglan, one of the four maids-in-waiting around her, would take the initiative to confess her guilt. Since ancient times, there have been loyal servants who took the blame for their masters. This kind of thing is not a secret in the harem. Although her crisis was solved, the suspicion on her was confirmed.

"Xianglan, what nonsense are you talking about? You and I are the female officers next to the empress. When have I ever suppressed you? Don't swear." Female officer Liang reacted quickly and hurriedly retorted. Her behavior was undoubtedly It is to tell Emperor Cheng and the others that this Xianglan is afraid that she has betrayed the Lord and deliberately trapped the Queen in an unrighteous way.
