Chen Palace

Chapter 112 Shocked
The Empress Dowager leaned lightly on the five-coloured gilded porcelain pillow, and did not speak. The silence in the hall was terrifying, and even the rustling of her robes could be heard.

The queen was sitting upright, listening to Yang Baolin's cry, her brows were slightly frowned: "If someone from Yungui stepped on the corner of your clothes, if you were caught off guard, you should be the one who fell the hardest, but now, it's quite different... "

She looked at Yang Baolin with a slightly mocking gaze, and lingered on her smooth and moist oval face for a while, with unbelief already showing anger in her expression.

Yang Baolin saw more than a dozen pairs of eyes sweeping at him in unison, some were puzzled, some were worried and fearful, and some even gloated, her heart was flustered for a while, her red lips trembled slightly, but she couldn't refute.

She is the body to be punished, the hairpin ring has been taken off, and she is only wearing a waxy single skirt, which reflects a bleak jade face, and her usual eloquent energy is gone.

"I thought I would be able to live in peace and recuperate for two days, but now such a big event has happened—the emperor Yu Zixi is quite difficult. When this happened to the Yungui people, I really don't know what he was thinking...!"

The queen sighed deeply, causing a burst of sighs, real or fake, she took a sip of tea, and then slowly said: "Yang Baolin, I really can't believe what you said, before the truth comes out, how many times will I wrong you?" It's day!"

She gestured gracefully, and a group of courtiers and eunuchs came forward. The queen appointed Yang Baolin, and said coldly: "Yang Baolin's murder of others will bring disaster to the emperor's heir, so take her to Zhao Prison and interrogate her carefully—— Be sure to find out who is so bold as to instigate her to do this!"

On the last sentence, she slightly emphasized her tone, and her mind was sharp enough to hear her overtones.

Chen Lu smiled slightly, she didn't feel anxious at all, she just added a sentence beside her: "Now the truth is unknown, after all, she is Bao Lin personally appointed by the emperor, so rashly interrogating her, I'm afraid it's inappropriate..."

The queen glanced at her, thinking that she was timid and retreating, and felt more pleased, and said with a leisurely smile: "Sister Chen is really cautious, this palace can make the decision on this matter, why bother the Holy Majesty?!"

Chen Lu sighed slightly, and slowly got up, like a lotus floating in a pond: "The empress is holy, there is no place for me to wait..."

She stepped forward to resign and said: "You two ladies, forgive me for being rude in front of the imperial court. I am very tired these days, so I will leave first..."

After finishing speaking, he nodded slightly towards the crowd, turned around and left.

There was a burst of whispering, as if ambiguously emerging from the abyss, everyone saw her leaving regardless, they were both admiring and timid at the same time, fearing that the queen would be furious and vent her anger on the rest of the people.

Seeing that she was so shameless, the queen was so angry that her face turned pale and her whole body trembled slightly. She was about to have a seizure when she felt the queen mother stretch out her hand and pinch it lightly, and she suddenly came to her senses——

At this time, I took a stand of righteousness, and it was reasonable to pursue Yang Baolin in a grand manner. If I entangled with these etiquette details, the emperor might think that the harem was fighting for power, and he would inevitably favor favors.

She made up her mind and said very politely: "Sister Chen has worked hard for many days, and she is not feeling well. She will be fine after a few days... Sigh, if these messy things don't happen, we can rest well..."

She squinted at Yang Baolin with a cat-and-mouse look: "You have committed a lot of crimes, but such a serious crime was not planned by you alone. If you can confess the mastermind, I can forgive you lightly."

She fully thought that Yang Baolin would cry and beg in pain, but seeing the latter's eyes wandering, as if thoughtful, she couldn't help being discouraged, she got up with a flick of her sleeves and said: "The empress dowager is also tired, everyone should leave too!"

****
When the emperor came to the harem, the situation had calmed down, and Yang Baolin was imprisoned in the imperial prison. The steward did not dare to use torture, so he received an oral order from the emperor's dispatched Qin Xi: before he made a ruling, lynching should not be abused.

In Biyue Palace, Yuan Qi leaned on the pear blossom bench with a gloomy expression——

"Forget it, with such a harem, I never thought that I would be able to give birth to a prince smoothly..."

"Concubine Mei Gui still has your flesh and blood in her womb..."

Chen Lu comforted from the side.

"Humph……"

Yuan Qi sneered sneeringly: "That child is a powerful bargaining chip for the queen mother and queen, how could they allow it to have an accident?!"

As soon as Chen Lu heard it, she knew his plans for Concubine Mei Gui and the queen, and she was very clear in her heart.

"You are also at the scene this time, have you ever seen anything?"

Yuan Qi was a little tired, and asked softly, almost without hope.

"This matter is a bit strange, Yang Baolin is indeed innocent."

Chen Lu sighed slightly, and added——

"It's coming for me..."

Yuan Qi understood the trick in an instant, he was beyond angry, and just said softly: "I won't allow anyone to hurt you."

After he finished speaking, he got up suddenly, but was stopped by Chen Lu: "I can still take care of this matter, I don't need to alarm you."

She thought about it carefully, and the fresh blood appeared in front of her eyes. She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't say it for a while.

"I am the master, let Yang Baolin be released. Her family is also a noble official. She knows she is not a murderer, but she is still detained like this. If she can't think about it alone..."

"Don't worry about that..."

Chen Lu smiled, thinking of the ball of paper she threw in Yang Baolin's palm when she walked out and her skirt rubbed against it just now—

There are only four words on it: Be quiet.

After sending the emperor away, Jian Qing hurriedly reported: "Over the Palace of Compassion, Ya'er has sent news that someone is with her to spy on the Empress Dowager's bedroom."

Chen Lu's eyebrows moved slightly: "Can you see who it is?"

Jian Qing shook her head, stepped forward to take off her palace clothes, but was not in a hurry to put on clothes, but took a can of wound medicine, and said: "The wound from the last cut is almost scabbed and sealed, let's take the medicine for the last time." !"

She recalled that time, the danger of the Binglang incident, she said with lingering fear: "Fortunately, you worked hard in time to force out the blood... so much blood, splashed into one piece—"

She was about to continue, but Chen Lu was startled. Suddenly, she was caught by the unintentional words, and stood up suddenly: "So that's how it is!!!"

Facing Jian Qing's puzzled gaze, she said, "What did my blood look like that day?"

"It was blue and black at first, and then it became bright red... After the poison was emptied, you tapped the acupuncture points to stop the bleeding."

"Fresh blood is always bright red... What you said just reminded me: Yunluo is pretending—at least, she is not bleeding!"

"Generally, women who have miscarriage, because they are fetuses, have bruises in their blood, but Yungui people have bright red puddles, which is completely unreasonable..."
