The Emperor's Favorite: The Beauty Disturbs the World

Chapter 44

The Queen and Concubine Hua looked at each other, suspicious in their hearts.Shocked, Yu Zhaorong tore off the strings of the qin. Seeing this, Wang Meiren wanted to step forward to help Zhao Cairen. In a panic, she overturned the wine glass on the table with her long sleeves. skirt.

Li Longji suddenly got up and said, "What's wrong!"

"Ouch... Ouch!" Zhao Cairen fell to the ground and groaned nonstop, with cold sweat dripping from his forehead, his frail body trembling, full of pain.

Li Longji ran down in two steps in three steps, hugged Zhao Cairen horizontally, and shouted: "Quickly announce the imperial doctor!" After speaking, he rushed to the inner hall. Everyone was surprised at first, and then followed Li Longji into the room nave.

Chang Xi stood at the entrance of the hall and said to the three princes: "I don't know if it's a sudden illness or something else happened. It's inconvenient for the three princes to go in. Please rest here first!"

King Ning kept looking in, and after hearing Chang Xi's words, he said, "It's only natural, girl, don't worry, go back and serve the queen!"

Li Ye took a few steps forward, leaned over to Chang Xi's ear, and said in a low voice, "I always feel that something is wrong, you have to be careful!"

Chang Xi nodded, flung the curtain back, and entered the room.

Li Longji held Zhao Cairen's hand and said, "What's wrong with you? Is it because you suddenly feel uncomfortable?"

Zhao Cairen couldn't help moaning, grabbed Li Longji's hand, trembling violently, and said in his mouth: "Lier... Lier's foot hurts badly!"

The queen wondered, "Why?"

Wang Meiren leaned down and took off Concubine Li's embroidered shoes, and saw a row of needle marks on her white and tender jade feet, and the needle holes were thick and deep, and blood was still flowing out .

"This..." Wang Meiren looked at the blood stains on her hands, then looked up at Li Longji, only to see him with a cold face, and said in a deep voice: "Lishi, I ordered Doctor Xuan, someone has gone What!"

"Someone has already asked for it!" Gao Lishi hurriedly replied.

Seeing another disturbance, Chang Xi secretly sighed.

Zhao Cairen was in pain, his originally white face gradually turned blue, he grabbed Li Longji's cuff, and murmured: "Your Majesty, Lier is in pain, save Lier!"

Seeing her moaning in such grief, Li Longji couldn't bear it, hugged her, and comforted her softly: "Don't worry! I will definitely give you an explanation!" Turning his head to the queen, he said, "Qing, go outside and check."

The queen nodded solemnly, and together with Chang Xi went to the place where Zhao Cairen danced just now, lifted the red carpet, and found a handful of steel needles standing upright inside, and someone lifted the stone bricks Go, insert the steel needle into the soil, the length is equal to the blanket, so no one has noticed it, but if you want to dance on it, you will definitely fall into this pit and suffer disaster.

Chang Xi wrapped this handful of steel needles in a handkerchief, and carefully handed them over to Li Longji. Li Longji looked at these long needles, very annoyed, and said coldly, "Lishi! Check this out for me!"

Gao Lishi said yes, took a step forward, hesitated for a moment, and whispered to the queen: "The Huae Tower was cleaned by your mother! This..."

Before Gao Lishi finished speaking, the queen said angrily: "Eunuch Gao, what does this mean! Do you suspect me! Although you are the chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, you are just a slave. You have the courage to question me without any real evidence. ?!"

Gao Lishi was stunned, his face was full of astonishment, he originally wanted to ask who the queen sent to clean the Huae Building so that he could continue to investigate, but he actually angered the queen, it turned out that the queen saw that Zhao Cairen was injured, Li Longji was so Caring, seeing that she is expected to be favored again, she is angry in her heart, and she has always been at odds with Zhao Cairen, and she is most afraid that she will be involved again in this matter, so she misunderstood Gao Lishi's words.

That Gao Lishi has served Li Longji since he was a child, since he ascended the throne, when has he been reprimanded in front of so many people!A flash of anger flashed in his eyes, and then he calmly said to Li Longji: "The Empress sent someone to clean up the Huae Building. I don't know who the queen sent? This..."

Li Longji looked at the queen and asked, "Who did Qing send to sweep?"

The queen was so angry that she didn't want to speak, Chang Xi secretly tugged on her skirt, and went forward to report: "The Huae Building is cleaned by slaves and servants!"

Li Longji said: "Did you see any suspicious people when sweeping?"

Chang Xi tried hard to recall, and said: "They are all servants of the Palace of Kunde, and I have never seen anyone else!"

Li Longji said again: "Aside from you, who else has entered and exited Huae Building?"

Chang Xi shook her head and said, "No!"

Wang Meiren sneered and said: "Although Zhao Cairen used to be domineering and domineering, he has long since reformed. The Empress has always been kind, why bother to kill them all?"

Concubine Hua was about to reprimand Wang Meiren when she heard Wang Meiren's instigation.

Everyone thought it right, it was purely accidental that Zhao Cairen came to Huaelou to perform dances!Even if the queen intended to design her, how could she have expected her to come in advance?
Just being puzzled, Feng Lu and Mei Er walked into the inner hall, and they were surprised to see Zhao Cairen lying on the bed surrounded by people.

Looking at Fenglu's pale face, Li Longji asked, "Where did you go! So long?"

Feng Lu blushed and said nothing.

Mei'er stepped forward and reported back: "The concubine accompanied Huangfu sister to choose the dance clothes, how could I know that my sister vomited continuously on the way, the concubine hurriedly returned to the Wenchun Palace in a panic, and then invited the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment."

"What?" Li Longji said with concern, "Luer, what's wrong with you?"

Feng Lu shook her head lightly, and said with a smile on her pretty face: "The concubine is pregnant!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the room was shocked!Fenglu is pregnant! !
Beauty Wang suddenly realized, and said with a sneer, "What a virtuous and virtuous queen!"

"What?" Feng Lu was a little puzzled when she heard her sarcasm the queen.

Hearing what she said, Chang Xi was so startled that his whole body was covered in cold sweat, but the queen hadn't recovered from it yet, and said angrily, "Beauty Wang, what do you mean? Why did you say something to ridicule me?"

Wang Meiren said to Li Longji: "Your Majesty! The Queen knew that Sister Fenglu was pregnant, so she specially arranged such a vicious trap to frame her. Who would have thought that Sister Fenglu was destined, and before she could dance, Zhao Cairen came It’s gone! The queen’s plan to murder the prince will fail, but in this way, Zhao Cairen has become a scapegoat to bring sister Fenglu to suffer! I think that although sister Li’er is at fault, she will not be tortured to this extent.”

Feng Lu looked at the dozens of long needles scattered on the table, and saw that Zhao Cairen's feet were covered with blood, subconsciously clutched his stomach, as if to protect him, and cried out mournfully: "Sanlang , Luer is so scared!"

Li Longji comforted her for a long time before she stopped crying, then looked at Zhao Cairen who was in pain and unconscious, lowered his head in thought, thinking that the matter was indeed most likely done by the queen, his complexion gradually turned cold.
