Liu Chugrong was completely unaware of Shen Qingwan's actions, but he was still a little fearful in his heart.
No matter what food was brought in from the kitchen, she was sickly and had no appetite. On top of the fact that the injury on his leg had not yet healed, his mood was even more gloomy.
"Someone sent a letter to Imperial Concubine …" Xiao Lv carefully walked in, his face red and swollen, with scars from the beating he received a few days ago.
Liu Chu Rong, who was lazily lying on the beauty bed, raised his eyelids and glanced at her. He then casually nodded. "Here."
There shouldn't be many people who could send her a letter, if it wasn't her father, then it should be Fu Huaiyu right?
Thinking about Fu Huaiyu, her mood finally became a bit better, and some energy appeared on her face.
Xiao Lv brought the envelope in front of her, and stood there respectfully, not daring to say a single word.
He was afraid that if he said or did something wrong, he would be beaten up.
She took the letter. There was no signature on the envelope, so she could already guess who had delivered it.
"Who else knows about this letter?" Her face was cold. She stared at her bowed head and asked, "Was it only by your hand?"
Xiao Lv's pupils contracted as she obediently nodded her head.
Liu Chugrong raised his eyebrows and looked at her fiercely, "Only you know about this. If others hear about it, you know what will happen."
She, Liu Chugrong, was not a kind person. Whoever dared to block her way would be killed.
This sentence was spoken calmly, but it carried a hint of ruthlessness, causing Xiao Lv to kneel down at her feet involuntarily. Her voice trembled, "This servant does not dare to speak carelessly, Imperial Concubine, please do not blame this servant!"
She bit her lip with difficulty, beginning to regret her actions just now. Why did she have to pick up that letter?
"Get down."
"This servant will take his leave." Xiao Lv stood up quickly, blessed herself with the ability to walk out of the house quickly.
Xiao Lv did not know who sent the letter, it was a new face, but suddenly, something happened to her.
Opening the envelope, it was indeed Fu Huaiyu's letter. The letter praised her and made her fear that the Emperor would not investigate this matter.
Seeing him write this, she felt slightly more at ease. She also began to believe that the emperor wouldn't find out that this matter was related to her, after all, the harem was so large, and she didn't personally administer the poison so it shouldn't be too much of a problem.
In the evening, another servant came to the palace. It was sent by Prime Minister Liu.
When Prime Minister Liu heard about the Queen's poisoning, and that the Emperor was thoroughly investigating the matter, he couldn't help but be a little worried.
Liu Chu Rong's mind was at ease, and he called the servant to pass on the message to the Prime Minister to the Prime Minister Liu.
As long as she had Fu Huaiyu's protection, she was not afraid. Fu Huaiyu was no longer as stubborn as before.
"Prime Minister, it was this Ninth Prince's idea. He was also instructed by him to poison the empress."
"What?" Prime Minister Liu turned pale with fright, "Really?"
The servant was very sure of his answer, "Imperial Concubine said so."
Prime Minister Liu was anxious, his brows knitted tightly.
Previously, Fu Yuheng was already somewhat angry towards Liu Chugrong because of the incident with the Consort Xian. This adventure of poisoning Xiao Shushen, if was found out, it would be …
The more he thought about it, the more uncertain he felt. However, this was Fu Huaiyu's decision, even if it was himself, he was afraid that he would be unable to refute it.
Seeing that the Prime Minister's face was filled with worry, the servant added, "Imperial Concubine even praised his actions this time and promised that this matter would not be discovered."
Hearing that, Prime Minister Liu's face became better, but he was also an old cunning fox, how could he be as easily deceived as Liu Chugrong?
Moreover, Fu Huaiyu had always been indifferent towards the matters of the outside world, so why would he suddenly make a move for the Liu Manor? That would be even more suspicious.
His abnormal behavior had made many people look at him in a different light. If he were to help the Liu Family now, it would attract more attention. No, he couldn't let Liu Chu Rong take the risk. Even with Ninth Prince's promise, he couldn't let his guard down. It seemed like he had to take action now. Even if it wasn't for Liu Chu Rong, it had to be for the Liu Residence!
Prime Minister Liu paced around the room and made a decision.
At this time, in Ninth Prince's Mansion, Fu Huaiyu was playing chess with his sage.
A pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes retracted its usual smile, unexpectedly could also reflect a vicious light, slender and good-looking, clinging to a black game, beautiful eyes staring at the chess game, the corner of his mouth slightly curled up.
"Why would I risk my life?" The sage standing opposite him did not seem to understand Fu Huaiyu's actions. He was not such an impulsive person.
He smiled sarcastically, and everything suddenly lost its color.
"Imperial Consort Liu is not a powerful being." However, with the title of Prime Minister's Father and Imperial Consort, scheming was not enough.
He was worried about Fu Huaiyu using someone like this, more so worried about his doing something so dangerous.
"She isn't mature enough, I'm afraid that I will ruin my great plan."
The sage looked worried, but he acted as if it had nothing to do with him. After a while, he spat out, "Foolish people are easier to control."
Of course, he also knew that Liu ChuRong wasn't mentally mature, so he didn't put her in an important position. Otherwise, he wouldn't have ordered her to do such an obvious thing.
In the beginning, he valued Shen Qingwan, but that woman was simply too hard to control and he was unable to grasp what she was thinking.
"What does this have to do with This King? You're just a jealous woman from the harem, what does that have to do with me? " He elegantly smiled, a pair of peach blossom eyes bright and bright, a beauty that even the women of the world could not resist.
"Prince …"
"The pawn of the Liu Family is just a springboard. Do you really think that this king is that rare?" If he had not taken a fancy to Liu Chugrong's position of imperial concubine and the power of the Prime Minister Liu, how could he have chosen the Liu Family?
The Saint heard and did not say anything, while Fu Huaiyu slowly placed the black stone in his hand into an inconspicuous yet fatal position, his eyes filled with killing intent.
Thinking of the empress, she murmured, "It's just a small warning this time. Next time …"
He did not finish his sentence, but the sage clearly understood the meaning behind the latter half of the sentence.
The Prime Minister Liu was afraid that Xiao Shushen's case would cause suspicion, and was also afraid that Liu Chugrong would be exposed, so he bribed one of the officials in the marble temple to destroy the clues he got from the search.
"What's going on?!" Seeing that the clues they had gathered had been burnt overnight, the marble temple scolded angrily.
"If I find out who was the one that took advantage of the situation and destroyed the clues, I won't let them off lightly!"
There were obstructions in the handling of the marble temple, and all the clues had been destroyed. For a moment, there was no clue as to what to do, but the emperor was urging for the results here.
