imperial concubine

Chapter 220 Hematemesis
Everyone was shocked when they heard Fang Yuanli's words.Although he had already guessed about the prince's poisoning before, but confirming and guessing were two different things, not to mention, now Fang Yuanli put on the table what should have been done secretly.

Concubine Shu was the one who reacted the fastest. She lightly looked at her sleeves and straightened her sleeves, then said to Fang Yuanli: "Lord Fang, don't talk nonsense. His Royal Highness is just sick, so what did you say?" Is your body poisoned?" As she said that, Concubine Shu's gaze shifted, she looked at the queen and said, "I'm afraid it's disrespectful to say that, sir?"

Only the queen knows about the current situation of the prince. As long as the queen doesn't speak, then he can be accused of disrespect to Fang Yuanli.Curse the prince of the current dynasty, even if Fang Yuan's power is devoted to the court and the emperor is extremely favored, he can only end up being killed.

Hearing Concubine Shu's words, Fang Yuanli was very calm, and he said slowly: "If it is false, I should of course accept the crime. But now that things have happened, and His Majesty is not in Beijing, I have no choice but to stand up and find out. this matter!"

Although Fang Yuanli and the Queen have always been allies, Fang Yuanli sees farther than the Queen.If the prince is really poisoned, then the last instigator will definitely not let them go, so it is better to start in advance.

The second concubine smiled lightly and said, "Since this is the case, wouldn't it be clear if you call the imperial doctor who is treating His Highness the crown prince? If the crown prince is really just sick, Mr. Fang must be able to leave with peace of mind."

The current situation is already very favorable to Concubine Shu.They almost didn't need to do anything, as long as they watched quietly from the side, they could get the best results. Whether the prince was poisoned or Fang Yuanli was killed, it was a good thing for her to celebrate.

All eyes in the hall immediately fell on the Queen's face.Although the queen has been hiding the truth before, but now she can't hide it anymore, she can only say helplessly: "What Mr. Fang said is correct, His Royal Highness is indeed poisonous!"

Hearing this news, the entire main hall of the Eastern Palace was in an uproar!Whether it was the person who had already guessed the truth of the matter before, or the person who had been secretly fueling the flames all along, there was an absolutely impossible look on his face!

Su Wan, who was sitting at the bottom, said lightly: "Among you, whether it's about seniority or talent and knowledge, I shouldn't be the one to speak up. But at this time, Su Wan still wants to ask, why does the empress conceal this matter?" thing?"

On the surface, it seemed that Su Wan's question was an attack on the queen, but everyone knew very well that this was just a trick of Su Wan's.To question the queen now is to give her a step down and give her a chance to explain to everyone.

Concubine Shu and the second concubine glanced at Su Wan, feeling a little strange.But he could only echo and say: "The fourth prince's concubine is right. How can the empress conceal such an important matter and let me wait until now to find out? Could it be that there is something else hidden in it?"

The crown prince is highly poisoned, and the queen dares to conceal such a major event related to Guozuo.Thinking about it carefully, if it wasn't for the fact that the Queen is the Prince's biological mother, I'm afraid Concubine Shu would charge her with harboring evil intentions.

The queen who was sitting on the right seat lowered her head, unable to see her expression clearly.She could only hear her saying slowly: "For such an important matter, it is natural for me not to speak up. Don't tell me, do you think that I will harm the crown prince?"

This is the most favorable evidence for the queen.If others had concealed this matter, they would have been sent to prison by everyone, but because the queen is the prince's biological mother, no one would say that the queen wanted to kill the prince.

Hearing the Queen's words, Concubine Shu smiled and said: "It has been a good saying since ancient times, the poison of a tiger does not eat its offspring. Naturally, the Empress would not want to harm His Highness the Crown Prince. However, I don't know what the Empress is trying to do by hiding this matter. what?"

If the matter is really as Fang Yuanli said, then the empress should directly announce this matter to the public.Only in that way can the queen hold all the power in her hands, and even use the tiger's skin as a banner to directly deal with concubine Shu.

The queen raised her head slightly, looked at Concubine Shu and said indifferently: "The reason why I didn't tell this matter is just because I was afraid that the sisters in the palace would be worried about it, so I suppressed this matter."

Concubine Shu naturally didn't believe these words, the queen would definitely not be so kind, it was because she was worried that she covered up the prince's illness.It's just that the queen doesn't say anything now, but I have no way to continue asking.

So Concubine Shu could only laugh a few times, and then said: "Thank you for your kindness. But now that everyone knows the matter, I wonder if the murderer who poisoned me has been taken down by my sister?"

Since the crown prince is highly poisoned, it is natural that someone poisoned him secretly.Judging from the previous events, the queen thought it was Su Wan who poisoned her, but in the end she released Su Wan.It seems that the queen has not caught the poisoner yet.

Sure enough, when Concubine Shu asked about this matter, Nanming's hatred appeared on the queen's face, she glanced at the faces of everyone in the hall with burning eyes, and said lightly: "This thief is thoughtful, until now I have been The palace still hasn't found this person."

Although the words were very understatement, but everyone in the hall heard it like thunder.If you can't even find the murderer who poisoned the crown prince, then wouldn't concubines like yourself have to live in fear every day?
At this time, Su Wan stood up calmly and said: "Empress, the person who murdered the prince is cunning and vicious. Su Wan wished to eat his flesh and bones. If the empress has something to do, Su Wan is willing to do his best!"

The people in the palace who were in an uproar were stunned for a moment, then they understood, and immediately expressed their loyalty to the queen.Now no one knows who the person who poisoned and assassinated the prince is, so only by showing loyalty to the queen can he prove his innocence.

Looking at the scrambling faces below, the queen waved her hand calmly and said: "I know in my heart that most of you sisters are innocent people. However, there are one or two people with evil intentions among them, and I must find them out." !"

Almost as soon as the words fell, Concubine Shu felt as if there was an extra barrier around her.All the concubines looked at Concubine Shu as if they were looking at a terrible person.The Queen's words just now clearly accused Concubine Shu.

Seeing this situation, Concubine Shu calmly took a sip of tea.Then the second concubine on the side nodded and said: "What the empress said is true. Such a wolf-hearted traitor is really hateful. I also ask the empress to punish the rape and eliminate the evil as soon as possible!"

The second concubine's words are very clear, since the matter has been made public, then you should stop hiding it, queen, if there is any evidence, then arrest the culprit.It shouldn't be here to intimidate everyone again and again!

The queen above the throne looked at the second concubine, and then said: "The second concubine is right. If you want to catch the murderer now, you can only get information from the person who delivered the medicine. With these things Only then can we find the mastermind behind the scenes!"

The people the Queen was talking about at this time were undoubtedly the people like Liu Banxia and Shidou.They are the main executors of this matter.If you want to catch the culprit, then you must start with them.

Hearing the queen's words, the second concubine smiled faintly and said, "Empress, is this still a trial? Hasn't there been a conclusion before? It's just that I don't know why the empress released him again."

During the interrogation before, Liu Banxia insisted that it was Su Wan's instigation, and it was precisely because of this that the queen sent Su Wan to the pending prison.And that day in the main hall of the East Palace, there were not only the empress, but also concubine Shu and the second concubine.

At this moment, Su Wan heard the words of the second concubine, and said with a faint smile: "Su Wan was wronged and imprisoned that day. Fortunately, the queen's empress, with her phoenix eyes, released me after finding out the truth. That's why Su Wan can sit in the prison today. Talk to the second princess here."

When Su Wan was arrested before, the queen was interrogated in front of everyone in the real palace, and then Fang Yuanli entered the palace to overturn Su Wan's case. Although everyone knew about this matter, the details were not known in detail, so the second prince concubine had puzzled.

Hearing Su Wan's words, the second princess pretended to be enlightened and said: "So that's the case. Then I want to congratulate my sister for getting her wronged. My sister can sit here now, but I have to thank the empress."

Although these words sound like giving the queen more face, they are actually reminding Su Wan.If it weren't for the queen, how could you have been sent to the undecided prison?Everything started because of the queen, but you are still grateful to her today!

Putting her robe sleeves together, Su Wan said with a light smile, "That's natural. It's just that Su Wan is not good at words, so she can only prove it with her actions. Now it's best for the empress to help the empress catch the black hand behind the scenes." Thanks!"

Of course, Su Wan hated the queen deeply, but he had to eat every bite. Now he had to catch the second concubine, and then he could deal with the queen slowly, otherwise, his plan would not go ahead at all.

The second concubine was taken aback, then nodded and said, "That's natural. I just don't know how the fourth concubine is going to catch this black hand behind the scenes? You know, some things can't be done just by thinking about them."

The reason why the second princess is so confident is because she is absolutely confident in her plan, so confident that Su Wan will not find any flaws, and so confident that she revealed something to Su Wan before the plan started.

Seeing the composure on the second prince's concubine's face, Su Wan smiled lightly and said, "Su Wan is in the Forbidden Palace, so she is naturally powerless. It's just that the Empress and Mrs. Fang are the mainstays of the imperial court, and they must be able to catch the mastermind behind the scenes."

Hearing this sentence, the second princess was taken aback.Then he realized that since Fang Yuanli dared to break into the palace today, he naturally had evidence in hand.It's just that I don't know how much Fang Yuanli got this evidence, and where did he get it from?

Thinking of this, the second concubine turned her head to look at Fang Yuanli, but saw Fang Yuanli staring at her upright, the second concubine laughed dryly, and then asked, "I wonder what Mr. Fang thinks about this matter?"

Fang Yuanli is the prime minister of the current dynasty, with great power in his hands.What is happening now is not just a matter of the harem, it has become a major case related to Guozuo, and the only reason why Fang Yuanli could not participate in it before is gone.

Fang Yuanli, who was sitting in the seat, was very calm. Hearing the words of the second prince and concubine, he said expressionlessly: "Now that the empress is here, it is natural that the empress is dictatorial with a phoenix heart, and I will obey the will."

In fact, Fang Yuanli had already grasped the evidence in his hands, and the reason why he refused to disclose it was because he wanted to see how many people from the Second Prince and Concubine's family were involved in this matter, so that he could catch them all at once.

At this moment, a eunuch rushed out from the inner hall, he ran to the empress and knelt down and shouted: "Empress, Your Highness is vomiting blood!"

The queen was startled, and she gave a random support with her hand, but knocked the cup beside her to the ground.The celadon teacup fell to the ground and was already shattered.
