The First Daughter Reborn: The Snake Queen is not easy to mess with

Chapter 178: The Empress (1)

This time the empress was really annoyed by Concubine Yu Guifei and the emperor, and rushed to the uncle's mansion recklessly. When she arrived, she didn't listen to anyone, and rushed directly to Qi Sheng's study, where she had always been used to staying. As soon as he entered, he cried and complained.

"Brother, you must help my sister!"

I don't know how long it has been since the empress has spoken to Qi Sheng like this. Ever since she became an empress, she has always looked aloof. At this moment, she let go of her posture, and rushed to Qi Sheng crying, telling her what happened in the palace. He said everything emphatically, and Qi Sheng, who was reading quietly at first, frowned slightly when he heard the Queen's cry.

"What the emperor is doing now is indeed a little too deceitful. This is obviously trying to embarrass the Qi family in a different way!"

Qi Sheng was originally annoyed by the emperor's punishment to him, but now listening to the queen's words, the anger in his heart was aroused immediately, and he narrowed his eyes dangerously.

The queen looked at Qi Sheng's appearance, then choked up and said: "Brother, the emperor is planning to get rid of the Qi family now, and the prince has also been sent out by the emperor recently, brother, we can't just sit around and wait for the emperor to get rid of the Qi family. It's gone!"

Hearing the Queen's words, Qi Sheng silenced, squinted his eyes and thought about this matter, after a while, he seemed to turn his head to look at the Queen again and said firmly: "Since the Emperor is unrighteous to the Qi family, then we don't have to care about it." what."

"Brother, what do you mean?" The queen still had tears in her eyes, and looked at Qi Sheng with some anticipation.

"The emperor wants to suppress the Qi family and promote the Yu family, then we have to see if the Yu family has the ability to bear the emperor's grace." Qi Sheng curled his lips slightly, and his tone was stern.

Hearing Qi Sheng's words, the Queen's eyes flickered, and she said in a slightly lowered voice: "Brother is going to want..."

"If Concubine Yu does not have Fourteenth Prince Li Wenchuan, do you think she can persist? Is there any hope for the Yu family to rise up in court?" Qi Sheng said, looking at the queen with a smile.

After finishing speaking, the queen also raised her lips, and finally a smile appeared between her brows and eyes. She looked at Qi Sheng and praised: "It's a big brother, so the younger sister will just wait for the good news from my brother. I really want to Look, what will that bitch do to show off in front of this palace!"

Immediately, the two laughed together, and the laughter was mixed with the taste of conspiracy.

Three days later, Lin Zhaoyi was found dead in her bedroom. The bleeding from the seven orifices was unbearable. The imperial doctor diagnosed that it was caused by poisoning. For a while, the entire harem was shrouded in panic.

Seeing this, Concubine Yu ordered someone to investigate the matter thoroughly, and the murderer must be found out.

And the first person to suspect was the queen.

The status of the Lin family is not big or small, but it is not small. As the richest man in Kyoto, he will consciously donate countless gold and jewels to the imperial court every year. However, even if the Lin family made a fuss in the court, it was bound to require the emperor to come up with an explanation.

So much so that this matter is not just as simple as a harem chore.

"On that day, the concubine brought all the concubines to pay respects to the Queen's sister. On the way, Sister Lin accidentally contradicted her. After only a few days, Sister Lin died violently in her own palace. Your Majesty, this matter Isn't it a little too strange." In Qiankun Palace, Concubine Yu Guifei sat beside the emperor, leaning against his ear, and said with a slight frown.

The queen has been bothered by the Lin family's refusal to let go of her words these days, now that she heard Yu Guifei's words, she immediately summoned the guards.

"Come on, bring the queen to me!"

As soon as the words came out, the guards immediately went out and walked towards the queen's bedroom. Concubine Yu smiled smugly beside the emperor.

She didn't believe it anymore, the position of queen would not be taken down.

But after a while, the guards brought over the empress who looked a bit ugly. Although she lived in a palace like a cold palace, the empress was still dressed luxuriously and did not lose her elegant appearance at all.

"Lin Zhaoyi died suddenly, does this have something to do with you!" As soon as the queen came in, the emperor asked aggressively.

When the queen heard the emperor's question, she stared at the emperor with a sneer and said, "In the eyes of the emperor, as long as such a thing happens in the harem, it is the fault of the concubine?"

"At the beginning, I was able to get rid of the child in Qiurong's womb, but now I can do the same thing. Isn't this always the queen's sister's style?" Concubine Yu looked down slowly with a smile on her lips. said the Queen.

Looking at Concubine Yu's face, the Empress smiled instead of anger, and looked at Concubine Yu with a meaningful smile in the corner of her mouth and said: "My sister has been very prosperous recently, I think I have been looking forward to the position of Empress for a long time, but I still hope that my sister Don't be too hasty, it won't be a big deal if you lose something."

"Sister, what does this mean?"

Listening to the Queen's words, Concubine Yu always had a bad feeling, she squinted her eyes and looked at the Queen and said.

The queen smiled and said nothing.

"If you really did this thing, I might be able to spare your life if you tell me at this time. If I find out in the future, then it's not just as simple as losing the phoenix position." The emperor Looking at the queen, she said meaningfully.

After hearing the emperor's advice, the queen looked at the emperor firmly and said, "This matter was not done by my concubine, and my concubine naturally has a clear conscience."

Having said that, there is nothing more to say.

"Come here, take the empress down, and don't allow the empress to step out of her bedroom until the truth of the matter is found out."

After the emperor said this, following the promise of the guards, the empress took a last look at Concubine Yu Gui, a cunning flashed in her eyes, then turned and left the Qiankun Palace.

Seeing the Queen's appearance, Concubine Yu frowned slightly, feeling that something bad was about to happen.

After the empress was placed under house arrest, the already very secluded place looked like a lonely palace. It was rare that an unexpected guest came to this palace today.

"The little girl Chaohua pays her respects to the empress."

Standing in the hall, Li Chaohua greeted the queen gracefully.

Li Chaohua was re-promoted as the princess and lived in the princess's mansion rewarded by the emperor. Just when everyone had forgotten her, she reappeared in front of everyone.

"What are you here for?"

The queen looked at Li Chaohua and frowned slightly. At this moment, everyone in the palace was an enemy to her, even Li Chaohua who had worked with her before.

Hearing the queen's warning, Li Chaohua smiled slightly and brought the tea in his hand to him and said: "Zhaohua heard that the empress's favorite is tea. Zhaohua just got some good tea recently, so I thought about it." Come drink tea and chat with the empress."

Looking at Li Chaohua's appearance, she couldn't see anything strange, so the queen ordered Eunuch Yan to get the tea leaves in Li Chaohua's hands and brew them, and then said to Li Chaohua indifferently: "Since you are here to chat with me, Then sit down."

"Thank you Queen Empress."

Not long after, Eunuch Yan brought up the tea leaves that Li Chaohua had brewed. One cup was placed on the table next to Li Chaohua, and the other cup was placed next to the queen. I don't know whether it was intentional or not. He didn't drink it right away, but tapped the table slowly, as if waiting for something.

Li Chaohua seemed to understand the meaning of the queen, lowered his eyes and smiled, picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea in the cup, sighing slightly: "The taste of this tea is refreshing without losing the bitterness of the tea. It's really good, what does the Empress think?"

After finishing speaking, Li Chaohua looked at the queen with a smile.

Seeing that Li Chaohua had taken a sip first, the queen picked it up slowly and took a sip, and the entrance was exactly as Li Chaohua said, she responded lightly, and said in a flat tone: "I don't think it's a good tea."

The queen didn't see the gleam in Li Chaohua's eyes when she drank the tea, and when she looked again, there was only a smile on her face.

"If the empress likes it, Zhaohua will bring some over next time for the empress to taste."

The queen didn't speak, looked at Li Chaohua for a while, and then said pointedly: "Is the princess Zhaohua here just to taste tea?"

Hearing the queen's words, Li Chaohua remained unmoved, and said in an ambiguous tone: "If the empress's current situation is mixed up by someone with a heart, will the Qi family suffer the result of eternal doom? "

As soon as the words came out, the queen's complexion immediately became very ugly.

"What do you mean?" The queen looked at Li Chaohua warily and said coldly.

Li Chaohua smiled very brightly, and slowly stood up from the chair, lowered his head and said to Queen Fu, "Zhaohua is just talking casually. After all, Zhaohua and the Queen have cooperated good or bad, so naturally we don't know." He will do things that are not good for the empress, so Zhaohua will not bother the empress."

After finishing speaking, Li Chaohua left the queen's bedroom.

Li Chaohua's sudden appearance directly brought out the fear deep in the queen's heart. She originally thought that her real enemy was Concubine Yu Guifei, but she didn't want to turn her head to see that there were dangers everywhere.

For a moment, the queen tensed up all over.

Originally, when Li Chaohua came over, the Queen's spirit was still very good, but that night, she felt a splitting headache and couldn't sleep all night due to the pain. The queen, who was all on guard, lost all consciousness for a while.

When she woke up again, she was called by Eunuch Yan. At that time, Eunuch Yan was in front of her, and tears were about to fall. The queen opened her eyes drowsily, and looked at the constant with some doubts. Eunuch Yan called for him, stroked his forehead, frowned slightly and said, "What happened so loudly?"
