The Legend of the Loved One

Chapter 94

Zhou Yu came here to search Lingyue Palace at Chuxue's will.

He could see a group of people outside Lingyue Palace from a distance, so he naturally wanted to ask, but unexpectedly, this question would save him a lot of trouble.

Seeing Zhou Yu's arrival, no matter how frightened Qiu Gui was, Qiu Yan was determined, and when the visitor approached, he bowed and said, "The chief manager came at just the right time, there is such a thing, the younger ones just now Passing by here, I saw someone sneaking out of the Lingyue Palace. The little ones thought it was a thief, so they came up to stop it, but who expected it to be Aunt Qiugui from Fengyi Palace. It's strange for the little ones, You said that Aunt Qiugui was not serving the empress in Fengyi Palace, but she came to Lingyue Palace at night, who knows that there are even more strange things..."

Qiu Yan handed out the cloth bag in his hand, and said: "Look, Aunt Qiugui came out of Lingyue Palace with this kind of thing on her body, and she didn't say a word when I asked her. Please be the master."

Zhou Yu took the cloth bag and opened it, and the strong smell of medicine penetrated into his nose, and with the light of the lantern, the medicine residue was still emitting heat in the cold air...

Zhou Yu naturally knew that Qiu Yan was helping Yufu Palace. At this stage, not to mention that he was not from Fengyi Palace, even if he was, with such conclusive evidence in front of him, it would be difficult to favor him.With a sigh in my heart, this errand is easy to handle, but it is getting more and more difficult... Mr. Zhou said: "Miss Qiugui, please come with our house."

Seeing that Qiugui was still silent, Zhou Yu sighed and signaled his subordinates to take her away first, and then he went back to Yufu Palace with the evidence himself.

Speeding up the horse, and going back and forth for an hour, Fu Gui, who was sent to Jingtian Temple outside the palace to appeal for orders, hurried back to Yufu Palace, and returned to his master.

Although Chu Xue had just lost a child, because of the mildness of the medicine he had taken earlier, Cheng Zisong and Ruyue were well prepared, and they were not too weak at this time. Seeing him come back, Chu Xue asked, "What did the Queen Mother say?"

Fugui's answer reassured her, Fugui said: "Return to Master, the Empress Dowager was very anxious after hearing this, and decided to go back to the palace in person, and she will arrive in less than half an hour."

Chu Xue smiled lightly, and said: "That's good. I'll go to Fengyi Palace later, the show has reached this point, so what if I don't ask her to come and see it!"

Fugui bowed his head, not daring to disturb the master too much, and quietly retreated.

Chu Xue temporarily closed her eyes to rest.She will still have to work hard when everyone arrives, so it's time for her to take a break now.

There has been no definite news from Yufu Palace, and Qiugui has not come back after going out. Although Xu Jinhe has been sitting in her palace, she began to panic.

Suddenly a court lady came in to ask for orders, bowed and said: "My lady, the chief manager of Yufu Palace came to ask for an interview, saying that Concubine Li broke into Yufu Palace at night and hurt Concubine Yi. Concubine Yi is seriously ill and is bedridden. Please go and support justice." .”

When Xu Jinhe was surprised by the accident, he suddenly felt depressed, and said angrily: "How can I get rid of my illness? If you come in and report this kind of thing, it will be fine if you just refuse it?"

She is now claiming to be sick and avoiding the world, if she goes out at this time, wouldn't it be easy for people to see the clues?
But the maid muttered and said: "Your Majesty, the servant girl said the same thing, but someone told me that the Empress Dowager has returned to the palace, so please go there by all means."

"what?"

Xu Jinhe was really surprised.

The queen mother has returned to the palace?The Queen Mother knew about this so soon and came back so soon?

At this moment, Xu Jinhe suddenly realized a very serious problem, did the Queen Mother also know about that bitch's pregnancy?

She frowned and thought for a moment, and suddenly realized that this guess was actually very possible.Song Chen is not in the palace, if Chu Xue wants to use the pregnancy to regain favor, she should report to the queen mother first, after all the emperor is not here, the queen mother is the most important person in the palace, besides, she is pregnant with the queen mother My grandson, the queen mother will definitely pay attention to it.

But the problem is, she remembered that when she asked earlier, the Queen Mother didn't know about it!
A bold guess suddenly came up in my heart. Could it be that the queen mother knew about it a long time ago, and she was deliberately concealing herself at that time?
But why did the Queen Mother hide herself?

Xu Jinhe finally vaguely guessed a fact that made him very uneasy. The queen mother probably had already guessed that she would attack Chu Xue, so she was guarding against her at that time.

Realizing this, Empress Xu suddenly felt a chill down her back.

If you want to keep your position in the harem, apart from the influence of your son and natal family, the rest is the trust of your husband and mother-in-law.She has carefully disguised herself for so many years, thinking that she has always been a virtuous and filial wife in the hearts of her husband and mother-in-law, but since when did she, a virtuous and filial wife, no longer be trusted?
But she couldn't bear to study it any further, Ding Xiang remonstrated from the side: "Your Majesty, such a big incident happened in Yufu Palace, and the Empress Dowager is coming back again, you should go there, otherwise, I'm afraid the Empress Dowager will..."

Xu Jinhe has also woken up at this time, no matter when the queen mother did not trust her, but now she urgently needs to restore her image.This time, fortunately, Concubine Li was the scapegoat, and I kept complaining about my illness. Luxuan who was beside Concubine Li was also my own, so I think I should have nothing to do with it. Empress Xu said: "Serve me to change clothes!"

The servants in the palace responded and immediately got busy working for her.

Two quarters of an hour later, the Queen's Luanjia finally arrived outside Yufu Palace.

The gate of Yufu Palace was still tightly closed, Xu Jinhe sneered inwardly when he saw this, and was about to send someone to call the door, when he saw a carriage speeding towards him from a distance.

The carriage approached in the blink of an eye, and Xu Jinhe immediately recognized that it was the Queen Mother's driver.Sure enough, when the car came to a complete stop, Ning Yuan, the queen mother's female officer, came down first, and then reached out to lift the curtain. The queen mother came out of the car and stood firmly in front of her.

Seeing that a good grandson is gone, the Empress Dowager's complexion is extremely ugly. She came from Jingtian Temple overnight, and she was even more anxious. My daughter-in-law greets the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother glanced at her hastily, and walked towards the gate of Yufu Palace.

Hearing the arrival of the Queen Mother, the closed gate of Yufu Palace finally opened. Ning Yuan hurriedly supported the Queen Mother and walked in, followed closely by Xu Jinhe.

There was still a strong smell of blood in the hall, and the Queen Mother frowned tightly. How was this situation familiar?
It was the same with her that year. She was looking forward to the arrival of the child in her womb, but she was still cut off by life. Even though it was only a daughter, someone refused to give her a way out... When the past happened, the Queen Mother's heart suddenly stabbed It hurts, after so many years, the situation is so different now, the one who passed away now is her little grandson, he is only two months old, it is unknown whether he is a man or a woman, the son who is away fighting entrusts their mother and child to him, but Only a few days after I left, such a big thing happened.

Ignoring the crowd kneeling together, the Queen Mother went straight to Chu Xue's bed.

"Master, master? The empress dowager has returned to the palace."

Kisaragi softly calls Chu Xue.

Seeing that Chu Xue slowly opened her eyes and saw the Queen Mother's face clearly, she burst into tears and said, "Your Empress Dowager, you are back. The concubine is incompetent, and she still failed to keep the baby in her womb, which disappointed you and the Emperor..."

Sighing heavily, the Empress Dowager reassured: "I don't blame you for this matter, it's because Ai's family didn't think carefully, and they shouldn't have left you alone in the palace."

"Shouldn't you be left alone in the palace?"

Hearing this sentence, Xu Jinhe behind her trembled suddenly. The queen mother really knew about it, and judging from her tone, she was indeed guarding against someone.

And this person, besides himself, is there any other possibility?
She was terrified when she heard the Empress Dowager ask Cheng Zisong who was waiting at the side, "How is Concubine Yi Gui now? Is there still hope for the child?"

Cheng Zisong immediately knelt down and replied solemnly: "Please forgive the queen mother, the medicine that the imperial concubine was given was too fierce, the fetus was delivered an hour ago, and I tried my best to keep the imperial concubine Yi." life, and the rest, it is really hopeless."

The maidservants behind the queen mother were all overwhelmed. Cheng Zisong said that not only the fetus had been delivered long ago, but even the life of the noble concubine was at stake... Everyone lamented the viciousness of Concubine Li.

Why didn't the Empress Dowager think so, when she heard that her little grandson was killed so soon, she was so angry that she asked, "Where is Concubine Li?"

Fu Gui hurriedly bowed and replied: "Go back to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager Li has not left since she committed suicide, and now she is waiting for orders."

"Bring people here."

The queen mother ordered with a stern face.

After comforting Chu Xue a few more words, the queen mother went to the main hall.

Xu Jinhe, who had no time to speak, felt that when the queen mother turned around, she seemed to cast a sharp glance at herself.

It is obvious that Concubine Li is the murderer. Now that the queen mother is unhappy with her, she should be venting her anger. There is no basis for it. It's all right.

Xu Jinhe comforted herself in this way, followed in the footsteps of the Queen Mother and went to the outer hall.

Seeing her leave, a sneer appeared on Chu Xue's pale face, and then she sank her head into the soft pillow, waiting for the good show in the outer hall.

The main hall of Yufu Palace.

Concubine Li was brought up.

What happened tonight was too weird. Ever since she entered Yufu Palace, everything was beyond her expectations. After being locked in the side hall for so long, especially after talking with Zhou Yu, Concubine Li thought about it for a while, I feel even more terrible.

Zhou Yu kept saying that Concubine Yi was pregnant with a dragon fetus, but the queen clearly said that her womb was a shameful fetus!
Who the hell is telling the truth?

And most importantly, she obviously didn't give Chu Xue any medicine, why did Chu Xue suddenly have a miscarriage...

A terrifying thought came to her mind, did Chu Xue know that she would come, is this a game she set up?What happened to the queen, did the queen know about it?
Concubine Li felt deep fear and loneliness for the first time, and she didn't realize until now that she was so pitiful in this foreign country far away from her homeland.

Seeing the Queen Mother at this time is like seeing a savior. Concubine Li plopped and knelt down in front of the Queen Mother, more attentive than ever before, crying desperately: "Queen Mother, Queen Mother, please trust my concubine. I don't care about concubine Yi. Medicine, Concubine Yi's miscarriage really has nothing to do with my concubine!"

Without the need for the queen mother to speak, the female official Ning Yuan said: "Miss Li, in this situation, you don't have to argue anymore, not to mention the witnesses of the palace full of Yufu, even the people you brought have already passed away." Recruited, you came here with medicine, Concubine Yigui had a miscarriage after entering the palace, the facts are in front of you, it wasn't you who did it, who else could it be?"

"It was Concubine Yi herself, she did it herself, the concubine is innocent!" Concubine Li trembled from crying, trying her best to make the Queen Mother believe in herself.

But the queen mother sternly said angrily: "Now that the matter is up to now, you still dare to argue in front of Ai's family! You are talking about why did Concubine Yi kill her own child? If you are innocent, why did everyone in the palace see you bring the medicine with their own eyes? ?”

The empress dowager, who has always been kind, is now so angry that everyone in the hall is so frightened that she dare not even vent her anger. Xu Jinhe knew that she couldn't keep silent, so she hurriedly came out to persuade: "Mother, mother, calm down quickly, don't get angry body..."

Palely comforted the Queen Mother, she turned her head and said to Concubine Li: "Concubine Li, you have gone too far today, how could you do such a thing without telling me! Although Concubine Yi's pregnancy is a bit of a secret, you Like this, you are too courageous! This is not your Jinli, I can let you do whatever you want!"

It is understandable for others not to believe themselves, but Xu Jinhe can say such a thing now, which made Concubine Li even more angry after being surprised, she put away her tears in an instant, and said angrily: "Empress, how can you say such a thing?" Words? Obviously you said it yourself, Concubine Yi is pregnant with an evil son, and the concubine was originally to share your worries, but now you actually, unexpectedly..."

"Concubine Li, please don't spitting blood! The Empress is in poor health and has been bedridden for many days. She forced herself to come here today when she heard that something serious happened. Why do you want to blame the Empress for what you have done? body?"

Qiu Gui was not there, so Ding Xiang could only go out at this time, fearing that what Li Fei said would make the queen mother suspicious, she hurried away from her master to stop her.

"You, you..." Seeing the shameless face of the queen's master and servant for the first time, Concubine Li was so angry that she almost wanted to rush up and slap the two of them.

Chu Xue in the inner hall quietly sneered while listening to the quarrel outside.

Don't want to see this crazy woman cry and quibble anymore, the queen mother said angrily: "Come on, concubine Li and below have committed the crime of mutilating the emperor's heir, and they will be thrown into the cold palace immediately!"

"Yes"

Immediately, a eunuch entered the palace, trying to drag Concubine Li away.

However, before the eunuch's hand touched Concubine Li's clothes, everyone was interrupted by the communication outside the palace.

Zhou Yu, Qiu Yan and others came over with Qiu Gui.
