Chapter 502

Everyone's eyes immediately looked at Li Shuyun, who immediately said, "I... your majesty, my concubine just went out for a stroll. I accidentally saw the girl standing on the road and sneaking, so my concubine came forward to ask."

What happened at that time? Li Shuyun had already told empress dowager, but Nangong Qing was not there at that time, and now there are more Luo qingluan. She made it clear that she wanted to frame her to wash white for her girl. How could she let the smelly girl spill sewage on herself.

Since she was elected to the palace, Li Shuyun and other beauties have sat down and been favored by Nangong Qing, and then became concubines and concubines, honoring the dream of the harem. Unexpectedly, Nangong Qing didn't come to the palace for more than half a month. On the contrary, every day there are palace maids talking privately, saying that your majesty goes to the queen every day. She is angry about the love of the empress. However, she can only restrain her temper and can't express any anger.

It's not what it used to be.

In the past, Li Shuyun was the granddaughter of the Duke of Wei. Although her family is declining, her father and several brothers are not very good. She is reliable in the shadow of her ancestors. At least she is the daughter of the Duke of the state, and there are several good aristocratic family sons around her.

But Li Shuyun's heart is higher than heaven. In addition to the crown prince Nangong Qing, only Nalan night, the king of Chu, moves her.

Nalan night was naturally something she didn't dare think of. After all, it was a cold king. She didn't even give the princess face. Li Shuyun's heart turned to Prince Nangong Qing. When Nangong Qing happens to inherit the throne in advance, Li Shuyun will strengthen her feelings, but when she enters the palace, she knows that everything is not as beautiful as she imagined.

Li Shuyun was surprised for a few days when she was originally awarded the title. After all, she was the only one who was granted the title of Baolin. The rest, including Wenwan, Zhuang Yulan and so on, were just granted a talent. Although Baolin is nothing, as long as she is taller than others, Li Shuyun is also happy for a while. She fantasizes that one day she must thank her majesty well, and then take the opportunity

Looking at Nangong Qing's solemn face in front of him, Li Shuyun woke up from his once fantasy and said carefully: "Your Majesty, at that time, the minister and concubine saw that the girl was not a palace maid, but stood there alone. They wanted to go over and ask. Who knows, later they found that it was the girl next to the princess of Chu."

It's not once or twice to deal with Luo qingluan. Although it's not always a frontal confrontation, Li Shuyun is very concerned about Luo qingluan. Dai Yue often goes out with Luo qingluan, so Li Shuyun doesn't dare to tell this lie if she doesn't know Dai Yue.

At this time, Dai Yue nodded: "yes, Li Baolin came to ask the maid what to do, and the maid answered. Li Baolin was curious about what the maid brought, so he opened the food box..."

"I... I'm just looking, who, who knows if you're telling a lie?" Li Shuyun was a little flustered. Although she didn't sit on any hands and feet, the queen did faint after eating the plum cake in the food box. If she touched the food box, even if she didn't do anything, who can tell? Who would believe her?

"Hehe, Li Baolin, did you open the food box?" Aside, he sneered gently: "why didn't you say it in front of the Empress Dowager just now? Is it because you feel guilty about being a thief and think that Princess Chu's girl will die, so you just don't say it?"

"I didn't!"

Li Shuyun took a gentle look at Nangong Qing and hurriedly knelt down: "Your Majesty, you should believe my concubine. My concubine really just looked and didn't do anything. Besides, I also met her by chance. I didn't know in advance. How can I carry poison on my body at any time? And my concubine can't do these things..."

After hearing her crying, Nangong Qing said in a deep voice, "well, I didn't say you did something. If you don't feel guilty, why are you panicking? Get up first."

Empress Dowager Wang listened all the time. The Buddha beads in her hands turned one by one. She didn't speak. It seemed that she had to sleep, but she was obviously paying attention all the time. Luo qingluan looked at Nangong Qing and said, "Daiyue, is what Li Baolin said true? She just looked and didn't do it."

Li Shuyun suddenly looked at Daiyue for fear that she would take the opportunity to slander, but Daiyue nodded: "yes, miss, although Li Baolin opened the food box, she only looked. The maid was afraid of getting into the ash and quickly covered it."

"You're not lying!"

As if she had cleared her innocence, Li Shuyun breathed a sigh of relief: "yes, your majesty, my concubine felt boring, so she left. On the way back, she saw a eunuch leading the girl to the Liusu palace of the empress, and my concubine went back."

"It seems that the Queen's coma has nothing to do with Li Baolin." Luo qingluan said faintly.

Li Shuyun was stunned and sneered: "Princess Chu said a fair word to me. Thank you very much."

Ignoring her sarcasm, Luo qingluan looked at Nangong Qing with a frown and said, "Your Majesty, if Li Baolin hasn't been to her mother again, it should have nothing to do with her. Since Li Baolin is not suspected, it's better to let her go back to the Palace first."

Empress Dowager Wang's slightly closed eyes suddenly opened, but she didn't say anything and dropped slowly again.

She didn't know why Luo qingluan asked Li Baolin to go back. Even if she was not suspected, she didn't need special treatment. However, since she said to give Luo qingluan the opportunity to investigate, listen to her. Maybe she has some reason.

Li Shuyun was happy and obviously saw the jealous eyes of Wen Wan and others. She thought Nangong Qing would hesitate. After all, Luo qingluan only asked a few questions. If she really wanted to plant it, she would not be so easy to prove her innocence.

But Nangong Qing didn't hesitate and immediately agreed. Li Shuyun was the first to clear up her grievances. Pingting leaned over and said, "thank you for believing my concubine. I'll go back first." Then he left a proud look, glanced at Wen Wan and others, and retreated.

For a moment, Luo qingluan said again, "Daiyue, you go on, what's behind?"

Dai Yue nodded: "then the maid followed grandpa Liu to the tassel palace of the empress. The empress saw that the maid brought plum cake. She was very happy and gave it to the maid to sit down. I said that the plum cake was a miss. You tasted it and asked the maid to bring it to the empress. The empress said thank you, miss. She likes to eat sour for a while. Thank you."

"The maidservant didn't dare to disturb the empress, so she left. Just out of the tassel palace, she saw Wencai coming here from a distance. She thought she was going to greet the empress. The maidservant didn't dare to stay much. She remembered the young lady and hurried away. Unexpectedly, on the way, several bodyguards caught the maidservant and said... That something had happened to the empress."

When it comes to Wencai's daughter, her gentle eyes shrink obviously. Before she opens her mouth, the Queen Mother Wang, who has been silent, suddenly says, "Wencai's daughter, you didn't say that to the mourning family just now."

With a plop, she knelt down gently and directly: "the Empress Dowager apologized. I was afraid for a moment, so I didn't dare to tell the truth, but I really didn't hurt the queen..."

"What's the matter? When Princess Chu left, she clearly saw you go to the Queen's palace, but why didn't you say? What did you do and didn't tell the truth!"

Empress Dowager Wang was unconventional and angry.

Unexpectedly, after a long interrogation, she didn't tell the truth. She hid and tucked in. Did she think she was dazed? As soon as her eyes turned and a cold flash flashed, the Queen Mother exuded a dignity and said in a stern and cold voice: "Your Majesty, AI family seems to be too kind. These people dare to be untrue in front of AI family. I'm afraid they are the ones who harm the queen!"

The words were not only gentle, but also scared Zhuang Yulan and Wu Qiaoer, who were not in their turn, knelt down: "Your Majesty, I really don't have concubines! Please learn from your majesty... Concubines dare not harm the queen..."

"Don't worry, Empress Dowager. Fortunately, the empress is awake now. It's no big deal. When I ask clearly, I will naturally know who did it. Although it seems that they are not suspected, they are the most suspected of the minister's daughter. After all, the empress is unconscious after eating the cakes sent by the minister's daughter, but..."

Luo qingluan said calmly, "although I know this, I want to avoid suspicion and can't prove myself. Please invite your majesty to invite doctor Hu to find out if there is a problem with the plum cake, so I can continue to check."

Doctor Hu came soon. The accompanying maid also held a jujube red food box, which contained exactly the plum cake made by Dai Yue. The maid put the food box on the table. In front of everyone, doctor Hu took out the silver needle and inserted it into the plum cake.

Fang Fangzheng's plum cake is only the size of finger joints, just one bite at a time. There were 18 in the upper and lower layers in the box, but there would be only 15 left. Obviously, Queen Su Yi ate three. The translucent plum cake is rose red, looks fresh and attractive, smells sour and sweet, and makes people salivate.

Dai Yue stared at the plum cake, looking a little nervous. Luo qingluan looked at it faintly. Instead of looking at the plum cake, her eyes fell on doctor Hu's hand.

For a moment, doctor Hu took out the silver needle and looked, then pinched a corner of the plum cake and tasted it, Then he said to Nangong Qing, "Your Majesty, this plum cake is made of good green plum and seasoned with rock sugar, hawthorn and licorice. There is no problem. The queen is now more than a month pregnant. Eating some such snacks will help digestion and increase appetite, but it will be beneficial."

Nangong Qing immediately smiled: "it's really not the problem of plum cake."

However, he then looked coldly at the other four women kneeling on the ground: "since there is no problem with Princess Chu's plum cake, only the four of you have a problem. Just now Wen Cairen didn't hide it. I'm afraid he was guilty of hiding what he did and didn't tell the truth!"

"Your Majesty, your majesty! I hid it. I did go to the empress, but I didn't hurt her..."

She was scared out of her wits. Now Luo qingluan has proved her innocence. The biggest suspect is her. She really can't argue. She knew she wouldn't hide it! I'm willing to be invisible, but I didn't expect to see Luo qingluan's girl. I'm very sorry. I knew she wouldn't be like this.

Nangong Qing shook his head and asked him not to get angry. Luo qingluan said, "Wen Cairen, if you want to prove your innocence, you should tell the truth. First tell your majesty what you did in your mother's tassel palace before. Why did you hide it after you went there? What happened?"

Now, gentle dare not hide it at all, Sobbing, I knelt on the ground and said, "my concubine was supposed to greet the queen, but as soon as I came to the gate of the palace, I heard the scream of the palace maid inside. My concubine was afraid, and I heard the voice of Ruyi and pearl, the palace maid beside my mother, saying that my mother fainted. I knew I should go in to help her, but my concubine was really afraid, so..."

"You were afraid of implicating yourself, so you watched the queen unconscious and the maid in waiting was helpless. Instead, you slipped away and pretended not to have been here at all, didn't you?" Nangong Qing stared at Wen Wan angrily.

"Your Majesty, my concubine... My concubine has never experienced this. I'm really afraid..."

"Needless to say, when you see the queen in trouble, you don't lend a helping hand. Instead, you're afraid to take responsibility and sneak away. I don't want to see you, a cold and desperate woman like you!" Nangong Qingsen said coldly, "come on, take Wen Cairen back to reflect and think about it behind closed doors. Don't step out of the palace without my order."
