Rebirth: Emperor, Take This

"Empress, your majesty came to see her because she was worried about her. She may have misunderstood your majesty..."

Zhen'er just felt that it didn't look like Liu Ruyan she knew. She was worried and advised a few words, but even if she came into contact with Liu Ruyan, she raised her head with fierce eyes. Zhen'er was surprised. She stepped back a few steps and quickly lowered her head: "it's the servant who exceeded the moment..."

"Go down." Liu Ruyan ordered in a cold voice, and then returned to the couch. Zhen'er only felt that there was a haze in the room. She couldn't think of what was wrong with Liu Ruyan. She never felt that Liu Ruyan frightened her so much.

But thinking of Liu Ruyan's peace in the past, zhen'er still stubbornly asked, "what happened to my mother today? Why is this abnormal? If anything, you might as well tell your majesty, maybe..."

"Get out!" Liu Ruyan suddenly patted the table. With his strength, the teacups on the table moved, making a crisp noise. Zhen'er trembled all over and quickly lowered her head: "yes..."

There was no light in the house, so zhen'er didn't see Liu Ruyan. At this time, Liu Ruyan had bitten his lower lip and clenched his hands into fists. When zhen'er went out, the sound of the door closing sounded, and Liu Ruyan suddenly fell down from the couch.

The poisonous insect made by the wizard is in Liu Ruyan's body. It seems that it is the feeling of ten thousand insects gnawing, which makes Liu Ruyan unable to live, but it is controlled. Liu Ruyan can't speak even if it is painful. He laboriously opens his mouth, but he still can't send out a complete syllable, and even can't make a sound to attract zhen'er's attention outside the door.

Liu Ruyan's life was worse than death. He forced himself to get up from the ground, hit the corner of the table and fainted.

The puppet in Lin Jinxiu's hand in Yunhua palace suddenly moved, and the silver needle stabbed Lin Jinxiu's fingertip. Lin Jinxiu felt pain. She couldn't help hissing and scolded: "this bitch, man, has been put into a poisonous insect in her body and is still so restless..."

A drop of blood from the fingertip slipped onto the puppet, mixed with the dried blood, and the red dot in the center of the puppet became scarlet.

Liu Ruyan, who was in a coma, suddenly threw out a mouthful of blood and fainted again.

A few days later, in the imperial study, father-in-law Xu presented the memorial and said to Lian Chengming with a sad face: "Your Majesty, this is the eighth palace maid killed today. The body was found in the imperial garden, and the death was also tragic... This matter has attracted the attention of the Empress Dowager and convened all his concubines to discuss it, but Princess Hui didn't appear."

Remembering the last quarrel between Liu Ruyan and Lian Chengming in Zichen palace, father-in-law Xu mentioned Liu Ruyan, but saw Lian Chengming's face gradually darkened, and then closed his mouth and dared not speak again.

In recent days, many palace maids have been killed in succession. Their deaths are tragic and their chastity is gone after death.

You should know that virginity is extremely important for palace maids. When they enter the palace, they are daughters. If they lose their bodies in the palace, they will have an affair with others. If they are found, they will be sentenced to death.

Therefore, no palace maid dared to joke about her innocence easily. Someone must have caused trouble.

It's ok if the affairs of the harem are only in the harem, but it will be great if it involves disputes in the court.

The loss of the palace maid must have something to do with the man. Since he is a man, he can't be the person of the back palace. Thinking of this, Duke Xu looks embarrassed. I'm afraid it's big again.

No wonder the Empress Dowager is so obsessed. Even Chengming can't intervene, so she can only come forward to solve it.

The Empress Dowager is old, so it will inevitably fall on Liu Ruyan and Lin Jinxiu who are also imperial concubines. Now Liu Ruyan is sick, which is naturally Lin Jinxiu's business.

Sure enough, at this time, the Empress Dowager in Shouan palace was worried about this matter. Lin Jinxiu stood up and said, "since Princess Hui is unwell, the matter will be investigated and dealt with by her concubines. The Empress Dowager doesn't have to worry. All sisters stay in this palace every day. As long as they work together, they will come out."

"Yes, empress dowager, my concubines must do their best to help empress concubine Li and not let the Empress Dowager worry." Lin Changzai was also a wink. At this time, he immediately came up and said a word to the Empress Dowager through Lin Jinxiu's words.

Just as he was saying this, Liu Ruyan, who was ill, appeared, and the palace man outside the door said, "Princess Hui, here --"

Everyone's eyes fell on Liu Ruyan who came in. Lin Jinxiu keenly saw the Empress Dowager's eyebrows frown: "isn't Princess Hui sick? Why is she still here?"

Lin Chang asked, then turned back and sat down and simply saluted Liu Ruyan.

Liu Ruyan looked a little stunned and bent over to salute the Empress Dowager. He didn't answer, but was led aside by Mammy and sat down.

However, Lin Jinxiu took over the words and said, "when this happened in the harem, empress huifei must also be worried. She must be absolutely unable to sit still and worried."

"I looked at Princess Hui, but her face didn't look like she was ill..." Lin Chang muttered, and Lin Jinxiu turned her head to look at the Empress Dowager.

Although the Empress Dowager looked unhappy, but he didn't say anything, he also restrained his look and scolded Lin Changzai: "well, since Princess Hui is here, let's get down to business."

"Lin Chang, let's talk about it first. Last night's palace maid was from your palace. What's the difference between this palace maid and you on weekdays?"

Lin Chang was suddenly asked and thought about it, but he couldn't think of anything. He just said, "madam, it's embarrassing for me. This servant girl is just a inferior servant girl. I haven't seen her before. How can I know what's different about her..."

Lin Jinxiu asked several concubines one after another. They all answered the same as Lin Changzai.

Also, the murderer obviously had a good budget. The dead were some palace maids who didn't exist in ordinary days. Even if they died, they couldn't find out much.

"Lin Changzai is always smart. Tell me if you have any ideas?" Lin Jinxiu asked again.

Lin Chang thought for a moment and said, "although these palace maids and concubines don't know, there are always servant girls in contact with them on weekdays. The empress might as well send someone to ask in each yard, and she can always ask something."

"Yes, ma'am. When you know the situation, maybe you can find out something."

Immediately someone followed and echoed, and Liu Ruyan sat blankly aside without saying a word.

The red part of the forehead had been scattered with a bun, which blocked the wound tightly and could not see anything at all.

"What idea does empress Hui have?" Lin Jinxiu asked with a smile.
