Father-in-law Yu glanced at me, lowered his head and said, "Talent, let's go there first. Everyone at Jingren Palace is still waiting."

I was silent for a moment, looked at the numb expressions of the little eunuchs behind him, and then looked at his expression, and suddenly my heart became clear - Xu Youling had just died, and he called me to Jingren Palace for questioning in the middle of the night.

It will be to ask me how I take care of my children.

So I stood up slowly and asked Shuixiu to serve me. I got dressed and was about to go out when Eunuch Yu said again: "Miss Shuixiu, I want to go there too."

Shui Xiu was stunned when she heard this. At this time, Nanny Wu and the others had already arrived at the door. They were also startled when they heard this sentence and said: "What's going on, Cai Ren——"

I looked back at Shuixiu and said calmly: "Since I called you, let's go."

"Yes, talented person."

Shuixiu was already frightened and followed me obediently. When we reached the gate, a gust of cold wind blew. I shrank my neck, turned around and asked them to bring the sedan over, and Eunuch Yu stepped forward.

Said: "Talent, let's go over there."

I understood what he meant and smiled faintly: "Eunuch Yu, my health is not good to begin with. I walked in the cold wind in the middle of the night, and when I arrived at Jingren Palace, I was still very sick, which made me look miserable."

Eunuch Yu glanced at me, sighed, then turned around and ordered the sedan chair to come over.

I got on the sedan and headed towards Jingren Palace. The sedan was swaying all the way, and I felt a little uneasy. Then I heard Eunuch Yu whispering outside: "Xu Jieyu is dead.

People will come over in a while and talk carefully."

Sure enough...

I bit my lower lip and said softly: "Thank you so much, Eunuch Yu."

After a while, we arrived at Jingren Palace. The sky was dark, but the lights here were bright. As soon as I opened the sedan curtain, I heard faint cries coming from the night. I frowned, and Shuixiu hurriedly came forward to help me.

Looking at me, her face became paler and her hands were trembling. I glanced at her and went in without saying anything.

After turning a few corridors, we arrived at the place where Xu Jieyu lived. The maids and eunuchs here knelt down and cried all over the place. When they saw me coming in, their cries were lowered. There were a few

Looking at me, his face was full of tears, but his eyes looked like he was watching a good show.

I walked in slowly.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw that it was brightly lit. Pei Yuanhao and Chang Qing were sitting directly above. Almost all the other concubines were present. Several of the concubines sitting on the left and right were holding silk handkerchiefs to wipe their red eyes.

With his eyes, a layer of curtains had been lowered in the inner room, and he could vaguely look at the big bed inside, where Xu Youling was lying quietly.

There is a strong smell of blood in the air, so heavy that it seems as if this place has just been soaked in blood.

I am no stranger to this smell, it is buried deepest in my heart.

Thinking of this, I raised my head and looked at him again. His face was also very pale, almost transparent under the candlelight. There was no expression on his face, not even warmth. When he sat there, he looked like a statue, and he couldn't see his emotions or anger clearly.

I slowly walked over and knelt down towards him: "Greetings to the emperor, hello to the queen."

Chang Qing nodded: "Get up."

I stood up and said, "I wonder why the emperor summoned his concubines here late at night to do something important."

He didn't say anything, and Lu Shuyi next to him said coldly: "Hey, Yue Cairen, you were also following Xu Jieyu at the beginning. Now something happened to her, wouldn't it be right for you to come over and take a look?"

I glanced at her lightly: "Lu Shuyi, was that what I asked you just now? I still don't know when will Shuyi be able to speak on the emperor's behalf?"

"Uh——"

She was stunned, and hurriedly stood up and knelt down towards Pei Yuanhao: "Your Majesty, this is not what I meant just now."

"...Get up."

His voice was a little hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time. When he opened his mouth, it felt like the blade of a knife had been sharpened on gravel. After saying this, he slowly raised his head and looked at me.

I also looked at him calmly.

After a while, he slowly spoke: "Do you know about Xu Jieyu?"

"I heard about it in the evening."

"Then do you know why Xu Jieyu died?"

"I haven't seen Jingren Palace with my eyes, so I don't know."

There were people crying in the room just now, and there were people talking outside, but when the two of us started talking, there was no sound of breathing. Everyone looked at me with a look of astonishment. Chang Qing sat aside,

He looked at me and then at him, his eyebrows like willow leaves slightly frowned.

Shen Rou, who was sitting next to her, wiped her red eyes with silk and did not look at us.

Pei Yuanhao looked at me for a while and waved. Kuan'er immediately walked up to him, holding a plate with a sachet on it. I frowned slightly and heard him say: "Check it out."

As soon as the sachet was delivered to me, a strong medicinal fragrance hit my nose - myrrh, frankincense, Ganoderma lucidum...

My heart sank, and I felt something vaguely.

"You know what this is."

"Medicine bag."

"What's the use?"

"Induces labor and activates blood circulation."

"What would happen if a pregnant woman during labor smelled it?"

"..."

My throat was choked up and I couldn't answer. If an ordinary person smells these medicines, they just feel the essence and blood are relaxed. But if such heavy medicines are used on pregnant women who are giving birth - no wonder there is so much blood in this room.

It smells like it has been soaked in blood.

Subconsciously, he turned his head and looked inside. Through a layer of curtains, he could faintly see the pale face on the bed.

At this time, Pei Yuanhao's indifferent and low voice sounded in his ears——

"Is this medicine bag yours?"

I turned around and shook my head gently without changing my expression: "No."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard several concubines nearby snort, and Pei Yuanhao said: "Ask who this girl next to you belongs to."

I frowned immediately when I heard this, while Shui Xiu next to me was so frightened that her legs were weak and she almost knelt down. She hurriedly shook her head and said, "I don't know, and I have never seen it before!"

Pei Yuanhao didn't speak. Chang Qing, who was sitting aside, winked down. Immediately, two young eunuchs came up with one person. They looked closely and saw that it was Yuwen who was next to Xu Youling. She came forward to tell everyone

After saluting, the queen said: "What did you just say to the emperor? Say it again now."

Yuwen's eyes were red, and her voice was choked with sobs as she said, "This medicine bag was found at the bottom of the bed when I was cleaning it up today. Because Jieyu was pregnant, she had to boil medicine every day, so the medicine had no smell.

People have noticed that these days, the empresses rarely come to Jingren Palace because they are worried about Jieyu's health. Only on the night of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year last month, someone saw Shuixiu from Fangcaotang sneaking into our place and then leaving secretly.

."

When Shui Xiu heard this, her face immediately turned pale, and she knelt down with a plop: "No slave, this is not my slave!"

"Whose property it is not yours? How dare you say you didn't sneak in that day!"

"I...I..." Shuixiu stuttered, looked at me again, and I said calmly: "Just tell the truth about what you did here. I remember what you said, only by being a good person can you be practical.

."

Shui Xiu gritted her teeth and simply said: "I sneaked in that night, but I didn't put this sachet. I just put a few mice in Yuwen's house to scare her."
p>

"Mouse?" Chang Qing frowned and immediately remembered: "That day?"

"Yes."

"Why are you doing this?"

Shuixiu looked at me again, her eyes turned red, and said: "That day Yuwen came to Fangcaotang and said that Xu Jieyu was promoted to Jieyu and rewarded the talent. The talent was so angry that she didn't even eat.

I’m angry, so—”

Before she finished speaking, Pei Yuanhao's eyes flashed and he looked at me slowly.

At this time, Zhu Fanghua next to him said coldly: "Isn't it a happy thing for sisters to be promoted? Yue Cairen is actually angry about this matter..."

"What can't be done with this anger?"

"Her child..."

People around me started talking in low voices. I stood in the middle of the room and just listened blankly. A soft and charming voice said faintly: "Even so, it doesn't prove that you didn't put this medicine bag in."

I turned my head and saw Shen Rou curling up the corners of her lips, and said lightly: "Since you can sneak in secretly, what else can't you do? You admitted to letting the rats out, but you just wanted to make everyone think that you were just for you."

People in your family vent their anger, but what if your family’s talents are not just for venting your anger?"

I frowned and slowly looked at Pei Yuanhao.

In the palace, it is not terrible to tell ten lies. The most terrifying thing is to tell ten truths and one lie is sandwiched between them. Then the lie becomes true. Of course, he is well aware of this truth after so many years in the palace, but

His face was still calm without any fluctuation, he just sat there calmly.

I thought about it and said, "Can I take a look at that medicine bag again?"

He didn't say anything, just winked, and then handed over the medicine bag. I picked it up and looked through it carefully. The brocade was a tribute, and each palace was given a few pieces. The workmanship was pretty good.
