The Reservoir Palace was already in chaos, many people were gathered outside Tusu Qingqiu’s courtyard, looking inside for something, and only when they heard the sound of the briefing did they hastily kneel down and salute.
Inside the courtyard, Baili Qingqiu was covering her face with a veil, her tears were constantly flowing downwards, her entire body was overwhelmed with grief. The palace maids and sisters on the side were stopping her from doing anything stupid.
Upon hearing the notification, Tu Su Qingqiu shuddered violently, and then her eyes became agitated, “Close the door, don’t see, I don’t see anyone.”
“Slave girl has met Your Majesty, Empress Mother, Tu Su showgirl she has been stimulated too much today, it is really a bit unsuitable to see the driver.”
Baili Jun Yi coldly snorted, “Not suitable to see the driving, then think it is not suitable to continue to stay in the palace, there are many nobles in the palace, in case she scared how to do, come to people …”
Before he could finish speaking, a cry of alarm came from the room, “The Tusu showgirl has fainted …”
A hint of mockery flashed under Baili Junyi’s eyes, fainting was timely. Shen Ninghua looked at him, signaling him to be at ease, and raised her steps into Tu Su Qingqiu’s room.
The room was messy, there were quite a few things scattered on the floor. Baili Jun Yi frowned, “What’s the use of having you lackeys, you don’t know how to clean up when things are messed up, you only know how to surround a person to die, if you really want to seek death, you can still wait for me to come?”
Tusu Qingqiu who was preparing to wake up leisurely on the bed had a tremor in her heart, and couldn’t help but wonder in the dark if she had overacted. Just as he was about to open his mouth to go and explain, he heard Tu Su Qing Li’s voice from outside, “Sister, you guys get out of the way, let me go in to see my sister, how is she hurt?”
Tusu Qingqiu heart hate to gnash teeth, in Tusu Qingli palace to eat a meal, after coming back to the body itching, and then began to grow red goosebumps, clearly and her previous misuse of seafood is a symptom, and the whole palace, the only know she can not consume seafood, only the Tusu Qingli this good sister a person!
Baili Jun Yi’s heart is extremely impatient, this time he should be embracing and sleeping with Ning Hua, letting these people stir up the peaceful days for nothing, “Let Tu Su Qing Li come in.”
Tusu Qingli entered the door and saw Baili Junyi’s gloomy countenance, he could not help but feel a shock in his heart and hurriedly curtsied, “Greetings to the Emperor, greetings to the Empress Dowager.”
“Get up, you are well informed.”
Tusu Qingli’s face was unchanged, “Reporting back to the Emperor, I’ve been paying attention to my sister’s side for fear that she might have any slip-ups, and now that I heard about it as soon as she had an accident, I rushed over to take a look, I wonder how my sister’s injuries are?”
Saying that, she went to Tusu Qingqiu’s bedside, reached out and went to unveil Tusu Qingqiu’s veil, and then retreated two steps back in shock, “Ah, how did this … turn out to be like this?”
Tusu Qingqiu who was pretending to faint couldn’t wait to really faint to death, her heart was dripping with hatred, Tusu Qingqiu this bitch, she did it on purpose! She took a look in the mirror before, now this appearance looks scary to herself, if exposed in front of the emperor, then even if she is well, there is no way out.
Tusu Qingqiu pretended to be awakened by Tusu Qingli’s movements, opened her eyes and shrank to the corner in a frightened manner, “Sister, you … are right, it’s the Empress who is harming me, she’s the one who is harming me!” Tu Su Qing Li, since you are unkind, don’t blame me for being unrighteous, you ruined my future, you don’t want to be good either!
A hint of huffiness flashed under Baili Junyi’s eyes, “Tu Su Qingqiu, what did you say?”
Tusu Qingli as if this is when she saw Baili Junyi and Shen Ninghua, hurriedly climbed down from the bed and fell on her knees with a thud, covering her cheeks with her long sleeves, “Slave girl has met the emperor, has met the empress mother, slave girl’s appearance is ugly now, it’s not appropriate to face the saints, please forgive me, your majesty.”
“I ask you, what did you just say?”
Tusu Qingqiu looked towards Tusu Qingli and said through clenched teeth, “Reporting back to the Emperor, when I went to my sister’s palace to have a meal before, my sister warned my slave girl that the ointment that the Empress Queen had rewarded her with could not be used, and my slave girl didn’t understand at that time, so she asked my sister why. My sister told my slave girl that the Empress has been secretly suppressing my sister all along, and also prevented my sister from seeing the Emperor, her intentions are sinister to the extreme.”
Baili Junyi looked towards Tu Su Qingli, gusts of killing intent flashed under his eyes.
After Tusu Qingli was shocked, she snapped back to her senses, “Qingqiu, you’re simply talking nonsense. When did I ever say that the Empress would harm you?”
Tusu Qingqiu, however, said with understanding, “Sister, you don’t have to be afraid, now that I’ve become like this, I’m not afraid of anything. You have always been very good to me, I am very grateful in my heart, and now, even if I put my life on the line, I have to seek justice for my sister.”
“You … you simply spit blood, I have never complained about anything bad about the Empress Mother, much less said anything about the ointment being poisonous, how could there be a problem with something that the Empress Mother has rewarded me with?” Tusu Qingli’s heart was flustered, she didn’t expect Tusu Qingqiu to bite her back at this time.
“Your Majesty, the salve rewarded by the Empress, the slave girl still has it, Your Majesty will know once you have someone check it.”
Baili Junyi coldly looked at the two sisters, the eyes were as if they were looking at a pile of dead things, “Declare the eunuch, come over to check.”
Soon, there were eunuchs rushing in, checking out the medicine bottle, and their faces suddenly changed, “Reporting back to the Emperor and Empress Mother, this has poisonous Qian Ling Zi and Brahmi grass added to it, but it has the effect of disfiguring the face.”
Tusu Qingqiu froze, she also didn’t expect her randomly woven excuse to come true, and immediately cried miserably:
“Emperor, you have all seen, this ointment is indeed problematic, it is the Empress Mother who harmed the slave girl, my sister did not say anything wrong! Sister, don’t worry, the prince commits the same crime as the common people, even the Empress Dowager, can’t arbitrarily bully you and my sisters, today, my sister will definitely help you to get justice.”
Tu Su Qing Li hated her with gnashing teeth, and by this time, she naturally understood that Tu Su Qing Qiu was trying to pull her as a backstabber!
“Your Majesty, my sister has been hit too hard and has become somewhat delirious, she is clearly talking nonsense, I have not said anything bad about the Empress at all.”
“Sister, it’s come to this point, what do you still have to be afraid of, why don’t you boldly say it? The Emperor will make a decision for us, the Empress has evil intentions, killing and maiming the showgirls, this is already a great crime, the Emperor will not harbor her.”
“You … you …” Tusu Qingli was choked speechless, looking at Tusu Qingqiu with eyes that almost wanted to scrape her into pieces!
Baili Junyi looked to Shen Ninghua who was at the side, “Ninghua, how do you feel about this matter?”
Shen Ninghua looked at Hongling, “Hongling, go check.”
“Yes, Your Highness.” Hong Ling quickly retreated out, and for a while everyone in the hall didn’t dare to make a sound, only waiting for the results of the investigation.
Tu Su Qing Li slightly bit her lip, with tears of aggression in her eyes, every now and then she looked up at Baili Jun Yi, but unfortunately, Baili Jun Yi did not bestow any gaze on her.
Will this scene in the eyes of Tu Su Qingqiu heart cold laugh, originally heard father and mother said, she thought sister in the heart of the emperor certainly occupy a place, but into the palace only to find that the emperor eyes in addition to the queen, there is no one else!
Soon, Hong Ling brought over a few courtesans such as Green Qi who was tied up with five flowers, and in her hands, there were quite a few valuable jewelry on a tray.
“Reporting back to the emperor, empress mother, slave girl searched the storage show palace and jade hall, found that there are a few palace maids behaving abnormally. Among them, Green Qi from the Jade Hall and Fang Xue from the Storage Xiu Palace had quite a lot of expensive jewelry seized from their rooms, and after checking, it was determined that it belonged to Miss Tu Su Qing Li, among them, Fang Xue had already given an account, saying that it was Green Qi who instructed her to change the wound medicine that was rewarded by the Empress Dowager.”
Green qi pale face look to Tu Su Qing Li, eyes are full of pleading, is the lady before said that changing the medicine will not find her before encouraging Fang Xue hands, just did not think that this is only two days, was found out, contact with Shen Ningshua cold line of sight, green qi full of despair:
“Miss, Miss Tu Su, save me, it was you who said that you wouldn’t be discovered, that’s why the slave girl let Fang Xue change the medicine.”
“Sh… what? Don’t get bloody, when did I say that?”
Green Qi fiercely pulled up her sleeve, revealing two top quality jadeite bracelets inside, “Miss, this bracelet is what you rewarded me with in order to allow me to do my job, it’s your favorite thing, it’s worth a lot of money, you can’t deny it.”
“I … I didn t.” Tusu Qingli’s face paled.
Knowing that if she didn’t say anything, she was afraid that she wouldn’t have the chance to do so, and immediately told the truth about what Tusu Qingli had done before.
Tusu Qingqiu pointed at Tusu Qingli and was filled with anger: ”Sister, it’s you! Surprisingly, it’s you! This is what I didn’t expect, you know that I can’t consume seafood, and you still used seafood to ruin my appearance, I’m your own sister, ah, what kind of enmity do I have with you, and you didn’t even leave me a way out?”
Tusu Qingli looked at Baili Junyi in panic, “Your Majesty, I didn’t, I didn’t harm anyone.”
Baili Junyi swept his cold eyes from her body and looked to Green Qi who was at the side, “Where did that poisonous ointment come from?”
“It’s Dr. Su who has diagnosed and treated Miss, and Miss also said that Dr. Su is the eyes and ears that the Tu Su family has planted, specifically to help her.”
“Green Qi, you bitchy servant girl, you are simply full of nonsense, who gave you the guts to accuse me so falsely?” Tu Su Qing Li was completely flustered, she didn’t expect that the foolproof plan she had originally thought of would be full of loopholes in the end.
Baili Junyi narrowed his eyes, “Surprisingly, there are eunuchs involved, or the eyes of the Tu Su family, good, really good, taking my salary and doing things for others, come on people, go and arrest Eunuch Su!”
Imperial doctor Su Qi saw the imperial army that broke into his home, so scared that he directly fell softly to the ground, and when he arrived at the palace to see Baili Jun Yi, he almost lost his face, “Emperor … Emperor …”
“What favors did the Tu Su family give you to make you do things for him?” Baili Junyi spoke with frost.
“No … no, the micro minister is loyal to the emperor …”
Baili Jun Yi sneered, waved his hand at the Dragon Scale Army on the side, immediately some guards came forward to take down Su Qi, dragged him out and started to interrogate him, in less than half an hour, the confession was sent to Baili Jun Yi’s hands.
Tusu Qingqiu was also dumbfounded, she was too angry at that time, she only thought how to pull on Tusu Qingli cushion back, did not expect, even the Tusu family is also involved, if the emperor really pursued up, she is really not at all alive.
