Rebirth of the Abandoned Concubine: The Poison Goddess Doctor

Chapter 297 Threat, Severe Torture to Extort a Confession
As Li Chengyu's only great-grandson, the Empress Dowager usually dotes on him very much. Compared with the benefit-oriented love of Concubine Dong, the biological mother, the Empress Dowager's love for him is much purer.

So as soon as the Empress Dowager called his name in a dream, Li Chengyu immediately threw away the pen, without changing his regular clothes, and rushed to Xihe Palace happily and eagerly.

When he entered the door, he saw Hua Yingchu standing under the eaves, and his hurried steps slowed down immediately, with a serious expression on his face.

But as soon as his expression was corrected, he felt his feet slip, and his body fell forward involuntarily. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, put his hands on the ground, turned over, and stood up straight again.

Yingchu clapped his palms and smiled: "Your Highness is very skilled."

Li Chengyu's face flushed a little, and her smile was bright, but he felt that he was being ridiculed, so he snorted in embarrassment.

He glanced back, there was a layer of ice on the place he stepped on just now, and the surface was as smooth as a mirror, no wonder it made him slip.

"You slaves, you don't know how to shovel it when it's frozen!" Li Chengyu taught with a sullen face, "Fortunately, it's my prince. If the emperor's grandmother slips, can you bear it!"

Several servants around immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty.

"Your Highness, it's snowing outside, please come in quickly, the Empress Dowager is still waiting to see Your Highness." Yingchu said.

"Don't be an example, or you will be punished severely!" Li Chengyu said to the slaves, and strode forward. When passing by Yingchu, he snorted again.

Yingchu was a little amused, and said: "His Royal Highness, be careful, the road is slippery in snowy weather."

Li Chengyu's face froze for a moment, and he left even faster.

The voices of Li Chengyu and the Empress Dowager came out in a short while. The Empress Dowager was obviously very happy to see her great-grandson, and Li Chengyu's voice was also very well-behaved. It sounded a bit in line with a child of his age, not the usual one. Kind of young and mature.

In the cold palace, the empress and imperial concubine Dong were still fighting each other. At this time, a court lady came to report: "Empress, the imperial concubine, His Royal Highness the First Prince went to Xihe Palace just now, and accidentally fell down."

Concubine Dong Huang stood up abruptly: "What did you say? Why did the First Prince go to Xihe Palace? Did he fall hard?"

"My servant doesn't know," said the palace maid, "Jun Miaoyi is treating His Highness' wounds."

As soon as she heard that her son was in Hua Yingchu's hands, Imperial Concubine Dong couldn't wait any longer. She looked at the Queen and Fang Shi unwillingly, and said bitterly, "Go to Xihe Palace!"

The queen smiled gloatingly, and said intentionally: "What is the imperial concubine so anxious, the eldest prince will be fine with the county king here. Aren't you going to watch the court trial, how can you leave halfway?"

Concubine Dong Huanggui sneered: "Nothing is more important than a concubine's prince. A queen without a prince can't understand the concubine's mood."

Seeing the empress twisted her face in satisfaction, Concubine Dong flicked her handkerchief and walked away proudly.

But when she was out of the cold palace, her arrogance turned into burning with anxiety, and she urged the eunuch who carried the sedan chair: "Hurry up! I want to see the First Prince immediately!"

Arriving quickly at the Xihe Palace, Imperial Concubine Dong walked into the bedroom with a breeze under her feet, only to find that her son was sitting upright by the bed, talking with the Empress Dowager.

"The concubine sees the Empress Dowager," Dong Huangguifei bowed first, and asked with a concerned face, "Does the Empress Dowager feel better today?"

The Empress Dowager nodded slightly: "It's snowing so much, why did you and Cheng Yu come to Ai's house, and you're not afraid of freezing."

"Cheng Yu has always been filial to the Empress Dowager, with such a little snow, it won't freeze him," said Dong Huanggui with a smile, "It is precisely because of the heavy snow that the concubine wants to visit the Empress Dowager even more. There are not many stoves in this room. Already, my concubine let someone add a few more."

"No need, it's not cold at home." The Empress Dowager looked kindly, "It's you who wear a little less. Come here, bring a warm pan to Mrs. Dong."

After expressing her filial piety to the Empress Dowager, Concubine Dong shifted her gaze to her son and asked, "Mother and Concubine heard that you fell, where did you hurt?"

Li Chengyu was a little annoyed: "Who told the mother concubine? My son just accidentally slipped his foot. These dog slaves really made a fuss, even the mother concubine was alarmed!"

Concubine Dong Huanggui looked Li Chengyu up and down for a while, and found that he was fine, she immediately realized that she had been deceived.And the person who dared to lie to her, if he didn't think otherwise, must be Hua Yingchu with a smile on his lips!

She turned her head and stared at Yingchu, and said with a smirk: "The maid who sent the message said that the Jun Jun is treating Cheng Yu's wounds, so I would like to ask the Jun Jun, where did Cheng Yu hurt?"

"Really?" Yingchu asked in surprise, "The concubine just cared about His Highness. The maid probably misheard and thought that the concubine wanted to treat His Highness. Madam, don't worry, His Highness is agile and didn't really slip. Of course he wasn't hurt."

Seeing Yingchu's innocent expression, Imperial Concubine Dong gnashed her teeth with hatred. This bitch actually colluded with the queen, did she think that this way she could beat her?Don't think about it!

Concubine Dong Huanggui had another conversation with the Empress Dowager, so she left with an excuse.

Yingchu followed her down the promenade, the heavy snow outside became more violent, the cold wind rolled the snowflakes into the promenade, and the black stone floor that had just been cleaned was soon covered with a layer of white.

"It's snowing so hard, the empress had better not walk around outside, go back to your own palace to rest." Yingchu said.

Concubine Dong's gaze was like a knife: "Where I want to go, it's your turn to take care of it?!"

Yingchu smiled slightly: "Of course the concubines have no control over where the empress is going. It's just that the empress dowager keeps the eldest prince for lunch, and the road is slippery in snowy weather. It's hard to guarantee that the eldest prince will really fall and break his arm or leg."

Concubine Dong's eyes widened with anger: "How dare you!"

"There is no such thing as a concubine." The smile on Yingchu's face remained unchanged, "Accidents may happen at any time in this world, what does the empress say?"

"You're threatening me," said Dong Huanggui angrily, "no one in this world dares to threaten me!!"

"Since your empress thinks it's a threat, then it's okay to be a threat," Yingchu said in a casual tone, "Your empress, go back and stay honestly, don't delay the queen's investigation, and the eldest prince will be able to leave Xihe Palace safely. "

"You really are in collusion with the empress!" Imperial Concubine Dong laughed angrily, "You alone dare to make preconditions in front of this palace! I want to see if you dare to play tricks under my nose!"

As soon as she turned around, she was about to go back and take Li Chengyu away.

"The emperor will come to eat at noon," Yingchu said slowly, "I have informed the emperor about the fact that the eldest prince accompanied the empress dowager to fulfill his filial piety. Does the empress want to take the eldest prince away at this time?"

Concubine Dong's footsteps were fixed, and she turned her head to stare at Yingchu angrily and resentfully.

Yingchu continued to smile and said: "Your Majesty, just take Your Highness away, and this concubine will send people to report to the Emperor. His Highness has been injured and cannot stay. The Emperor is so distressed that he should send an imperial doctor to see His Highness. I don't know when the time will come. Your Highness, how can we deceive the imperial physician?"

"Bitch!" Imperial Concubine Dong was so angry that her heart, liver and lungs ached, but she had nothing to do with this hateful woman in front of her!
Yingchu's tone turned cold: "Your Majesty, please pay attention to your wording. The concubine has a bad temper. If she is wronged, it will be bad for her to blame the eldest prince."

Concubine Dong's eyes darkened, and she was strangling the maid who was supporting her.

The palace maid lowered her head, resisting the pain and fear. In the past, she always thought that her mother was the scariest person in the harem, but now she realized that Mr. Miaoyijun was even more frightening than her.Dare to attack the empress and the eldest prince, Hua's courage is frightening!

"My lady, go away, and the concubine will see you off soon." Yingchu said lightly, and Shi Shiran turned and left.

Concubine Dong Huanggui stared at Yingchu's back, trembling with anger, she threw away the maidservants beside her, and said sharply, "Go back to the palace!"

Eunuch Hu watched all this from the sidelines, and cast his eyes on Yingchu's admiration: "The Imperial Concubine Dong has been arrogant to the harem for so many years, and even the queen can't do anything to her. The Junjun's random move made her suffer such a big dumb loss. It's really satisfying!"

"Today I just caught her by surprise," Yingchu said, "If you want to deal with her next time, you can't use this method."

Eunuch Hu smiled and said, "Wait until the next time, the Junjun will come up with a new way. The Dong family will never be able to make a trick in the Junjun's hands."

Yingchu glanced at him with a smile. Ever since Eunuch Hu joined him, whenever he had a chance, he would say compliments casually.

In the cold palace, without the spoiler of Concubine Dong, Fang was subjected to various tortures in turn. The punishments in the palace made people unable to live or die. Time, finally collapsed.

Aunt Li put away the confession she had drawn, and looked sarcastically at Fang who was lying naked on the ground: "You said you have held on for so long, so why bother? You have suffered for nothing, and you finally have to confess ?”

Fang's pupils were dilated, and she was whimpering unnaturally. The physical and psychological torture had already made her unconscious, but she instinctively shrank when Aunt Li approached her.

"Look at her, don't let her die," Aunt Li sneered, "The empress promised to let her live comfortably for the rest of her life, and you all take good care of me so that she can live well!"

"Yes, servants obey." Several nurses with numb faces responded in unison.

Aunt Li glanced at Fang for the last time. In the past, this was also favored by the emperor, and there were several concubines in her hands. Now, tsk.In this palace, apart from the empress, the other concubines are nothing if they are favored.

She walked out of this torture room and returned to the main hall. The queen sat on a chair covered with fluffy balls, with tea and snacks from Fengyi Palace on hand.It must have been waiting for a long time, and the expression on his face was a little impatient.

"Your Majesty," Aunt Li held the confession in front of the Empress, "The slaves have lived up to expectations, and the Fang family has recruited them."

The empress looked happy, took the confession over and read it again, and said happily: "Okay! Very good! Let's go, let's go to see the emperor immediately!"
