The Emperor's Favorite: The Beauty Disturbs the World

Chapter 45

Seeing this, the queen said anxiously: "Sanlang, don't listen to her sowing dissension, my concubine... how did this concubine know that Fenglu would perform a dance today?"

Wang Meiren said coldly: "I don't know who said in the Kunde Palace that day that all the sisters would perform to win His Majesty's favor! The concubines in the sixth palace belong to Wu Xianyi and Huangfu Deyi are good at dancing. Sister Fenglu must be a dancer!"

When Mei'er heard this, Wang Meiren's words were vicious, and she was going to drag herself into the water!Then he hurriedly said: "Cousin, Mei'er is really unwell today, it's not an excuse!"

Li Longji looked at her suspiciously, nodded and said, "I know."

Yu Zhaorong said: "That day the queen said that all the sisters performed their performances purely for the sake of your majesty, the queen has always been virtuous, why do you want to harm sister Fenglu?"

Wang Mei said humanely: "Sister Fenglu is pregnant, if she gives birth to a prince, it will definitely endanger the throne of the empress, and the empress has always been childless, how do you know that she will not make such a terrible plan to protect herself?"

Guo Shunyi said: "It's a joke! Not to mention whether the child in Sister Fenglu's belly is a boy or a girl, just say that there are several concubines who gave birth to princes in the six palaces, why didn't the empress frame them?"

Wang Meiren raised her eyes, snorted softly, and said: "Those concubines who have raised princes are not favored, and only Zhao Cairen and Sister Fenglu are the ones who are favored and have children!" Zhao Cairen woke up and took a look.

The queen stood on the ground, her clothes on the front and back were wet with cold sweat, this time the conspiracy really made her speechless, so she subconsciously looked at Chang Xi to see if she could get herself out of the predicament.

Chang Xi said: "The empress is in charge of the arrangement of the Huae Tower this time. If she starts at this time, wouldn't it be too conspicuous? Besides, how does the empress know that Huangfu Deyi is pregnant?"

Yu Zhaorong said sternly: "That's the case, please Your Majesty look into it!"

Wang Mei said: "How many months is Sister Fenglu pregnant?"

Feng Lu said: "The imperial doctor said it has been three months!"

The queen asked: "It's been three months? Then why did my sister find out now? The monthly letter didn't come, don't you know?"

Feng Lu said: "The concubine's health is not good, the monthly letter is always inaccurate, and it is the first time to be a mother. Although she often vomits recently, she only thinks it is a spleen and stomach disorder! How do you know... How do you know... Empress Empress Feng Lu plopped down on the ground, grabbed the queen's skirt, and cried: "I know that my status is low, and the dancer of the teaching workshop is not worthy of serving your majesty! But I beg your majesty to read that I will always respect you, The belly is His Majesty's flesh and blood again, please be merciful, Madam, let my child go!"

"You! You!" Hearing her nonsense, the queen was so angry that she pointed at her and couldn't speak, but she didn't dare to shake her away, for fear of hurting her fetal gas, and it was even more difficult for her to escape criticism.

Mei'er stepped forward to help Feng Lu who was in tears, and persuaded: "Sister, don't do this! Be careful of the prince in your stomach!" Feng Lu loosened the Queen's skirt after hearing what she said, and sat tremblingly on the embroidered stool .

Yu Zhaorong looked at Zhao Cairen, and suddenly exclaimed: "Your Majesty! How did Zhao Cairen's face become like this?!"

Li Longji had been listening to everyone talking just now, and he didn't notice Zhao Cairen's face on the couch. After Yu Zhaorong's call, Zhao Cairen's face turned from white to blue, and his lips also turned dark purple!

"Toxic!... This needle is poisonous!" Wang Meiren said sharply.

Li Longji said angrily: "Those imperial doctors are dead! They haven't come for so long! Do you want me to take their heads off!"

As soon as the words fell, the four imperial doctors Chang, Hu, Zhao, and Huo had already trotted into the inner hall. The most skilled doctor, Su Yu, had disappeared without a trace because of Chang Xi's poisoning a few days ago. Among the remaining dozens of imperial physicians, Imperial Physician Chang had the best medical skills. Hearing Li Longji was angry, he quickly rolled up his sleeves, stepped forward to take Zhao Cairen's pulse, and the other three imperial physicians hurriedly helped Zhao Cairen. Apply medicine to Cairen's feet.

Doctor Chang squeezed his sweat and said in a trembling voice: "The poison Zhao Cairen suffers from is called Pangea, and it is a deadly poison!"

Li Longji hurriedly asked, "Can it be cured?"

Chang Yu said: "I dare not say anything, I can only do my best!"

Li Longji said: "If you can save Zhao Cairen's life, I will reward you a lot!"

The four imperial doctors said in unison: "The ministers must do their best, please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Li Longji turned his head to the queen and said calmly: "The queen has been tired recently, so I will leave this matter to the warriors to investigate! Qing is resting in Kunde Palace for a few days to rest at ease!"

"Sanlang!" The queen looked at Li Longji in disbelief, her voice trembling. It was clear that he didn't trust himself, doubted himself? "Concubine!"

"Stop it!" Li Longji said angrily, flicking his sleeves.

The queen choked on the words, with tears in her eyes, Concubine Hua, Mei Er and others wanted to intercede, but they didn't dare to touch Li Longji's back again.

"Prison Chang Xi and other servants of the Palace of Kunde! You will interrogate them carefully!" Li Longji said to Gao Lishi.

"No!" Gao Lishi looked at Chang Xi who was silent on the ground, and summoned two Jinwu guards to imprison her in the inner prison of Xingqing Palace temporarily.

Seeing that she was under house arrest and Chang Xi was imprisoned, the queen slumped on the embroidered stool for a while, drenched in cold sweat and speechless.

Li Longji ordered Meier to send the Queen back to the Kunde Palace, and also asked Yu Zhaorong and Guo Shunyi to take good care of Fenglu. Wang Meiren and Zhao Cairen made good friends and insisted on staying, so Li Longji could only let her go.

Chang Xi was imprisoned in the inner prison of Xingqing Palace. This is the place where the punished concubines and maids of the Six Palaces were imprisoned. In order to prevent the female prisoners from colluding with each other, the prison was divided into small cells with only one wooden bed in the room. And a chamber pot.

Straw was randomly spread on the ground, moss covered the walls, and a musty smell wafted through the cell, which was only a few square meters. Chang Xi sat on the bed with her knees hugged, shivering from the cold, and rats squeaked from time to time on the ground. Voice.

"Be more honest!" A well-built female prison head slammed on the iron bars with a cowhide whip as thick as two fingers, angrily reprimanding the crying maid next door to Chang Xi.

Chang Xi looked up and saw that the aunt in charge of the women's prison in the inner prison was drinking tea leisurely, picked up the candied fruit on the plate with her hands, and said indifferently: "Your Majesty ordered that Zhao Cairen be injured, Before I wait for my aunt to send a message to inquire, everyone should not open their mouths, otherwise they will be punished as a string of confessions!"

Chang Xi looked at the woman in front of him coldly, without saying a word.I have been imprisoned here for two days, and this aunt named Lu Jiao has given them a lot of "special treatment", for example, the thin quilt covered them is specially wet; two specific iron locks are intertwined , so that they can only bend down like dogs to eat these leftovers; no one is allowed to speak or cry.
