I was given the contraceptive soup and became the emperor's white moonlight

"My queen, have you heard?" Xiao Ye asked mysteriously, "A maid died in Taiji Palace a few days ago!"

"Do you think it could be..."

Xiao Ye didn't finish her words, but Su Minglang knew what she meant, "Don't talk nonsense!"

Su Minglang scolded in a low voice, his frown never loosening, "After all, Taiji Palace is the emperor's bedroom, so it is naturally heavily guarded. How capable can she be to reach out so far?"

"But, but she just said something harsh to you a few days ago, and within a few days someone died there, this..." Xiao Ye seemed a little uneasy, "Fortunately you didn't completely break up with her at that time, otherwise such a move would be really hard to defend against!"

"Not necessarily." Su Minglang was still trying to convince herself, but the facts were in front of her, and no matter how she denied it, it was of no avail.

"What what what?" Nan Xing looked at the two people bewildered in front of her, "What do you mean by her, her? Master, Sister Xiaoye, who are you talking about?"

Nanxing had been lying in bed for several days due to a cold, so she naturally knew nothing about what was happening outside. After that incident, Su Minglang didn't really take it to heart. In addition, she boasted of her experience in her previous life, so she didn't care and would not mention it to Nanxing.

"It was Concubine Gu Shu!" Xiao Ye explained, "During the days when you were in a coma, news spread in Taiji Palace that a palace maid was pregnant, and Concubine Gu Shu was furious."

"Master, although I don't know what means she used, it is obvious that this act could not be done by anyone else!"

Su Minglang shook her head. She would rather believe that the woman's death was caused by Li than to believe that Concubine Gu Shu had such means.

She never thought that Concubine Gu Shufei was a scheming person. In Su Minglang's heart, she had always been a useless and threatening woman who was madly in love with Xiao Heng, and that was all.

"Even if this was really done by Concubine Gu, it has nothing to do with you and me." Su Minglang pointed it out, but he still felt aggrieved in his heart.

If that maid really died because of suspicion caused by her words...

Su Minglang shook her head vigorously, not daring to think any further. Although she was scheming and setting traps, she was targeting those who provoked her first, and not an innocent palace maid.

Su Minglang understood that a kind-hearted person could not survive in this harem, but this was not a reason for her to ignore morality and conscience.

"Knock knock!" Xiaoqing knocked on the door gently, and three pairs of eyes in the room looked at her at the same time.

Xiaoqing pointed outside and bowed to ask for instructions: "Madam, someone is looking for you outside. It's Eunuch Fu from Jingyang Palace."

"Eunuch Fu?" Apart from the Eunuch Lai Fu who was beside Concubine Gu Shufei, Su Minglang couldn't think of another Eunuch Fu she knew.

Su Minglang pinched his palms. This also counts as saying that the devil is here, right?

"Please come in."

"Yes!" Xiaoqing responded and turned around to invite Lai Fu in.

"Your servant greets Empress Zhaoyi." Lai Fu bowed respectfully and smiled as he also bowed to the two people beside her.

"Eunuch Fu is so polite. Xiaoye, please take a seat." Su Minglang smiled and gave him a false hand, then turned around and told Nanxing, "Go and serve tea."

"Thank you for your hospitality, but there is no need to go to such trouble." Lai Fu thanked Xiao Ye for the stool, stopped Nan Xing who was about to get some tea, and turned to Su Minglang and said, "My queen just sent me to deliver a message to you."

"Oh?" Su Minglang waved his hand to signal the two to leave. "I wonder if Concubine Gu Shu has any instructions?"

"The master has no instructions. He just sent me to tell you some news." Lai Fu smiled and sat down obediently. "I wonder if you, Empress Zhaoyi, have heard about the death of a palace maid in Taiji Palace?"

"It's just a rumor within the palace. People's words are hard to believe. If Concubine Shu is worried, there is no need for her to worry." Su Minglang said indifferently.

Lai Fu's smile widened upon hearing this, "Your Majesty, there is something you said that is not right."

"Who says that must be a rumor?"

Su Minglang raised his eyebrows instantly and looked at Lai Fu in disbelief, "What does this mean, Grandpa?"

"Could it be that the eunuch saw it with his own eyes? Or was it the death of that palace maid and Concubine Shu..." Su Minglang did not finish her words, but she knew that Lai Fu would definitely understand what she meant.

As expected, Lai Fu stood up quickly after hearing what she said and distanced himself from the matter, "How could the Concubine Shu be so inconsiderate? Moreover, the Concubine Shu has been devoted to studying music theory in the palace, so how could she do such a thing?"

"Empress Zhaoyi, please be careful with your words!" Although Lai Fu said this, there was no worry or anger in his eyes.

"If it were me, that kind of restless servant would have deserved such a fate. What do you think, Madam?"

It seems that killing someone was not enough for her, so she sent someone to show off to her?

Su Minglang neither understood her approach nor respected it, so he suppressed his desire to chase her away and continued to follow her words, "Those who are restless should indeed be punished."

But her restlessness did not limit any identity.

"I just hope that those who are punished are those who are restless."

Lai Fu smiled even more after receiving the approval. He didn't pay much attention to Su Minglang's last words. He casually patted his clothes and stood up to say goodbye. "Since I have brought the message, I will not waste your time. I will take my leave first."

"No need to see you off." Su Minglang nodded with a smile, but his face turned cold the moment he turned around.

"Eunuch Fu, are you going back?"

Xiao Ye, who had been guarding outside the door, saw Lai Fu coming out and stepped forward to greet him. "Thank you for your hard work, eunuch. Here is a little gift from the Empress. I hope you don't mind it."

Xiaoye took out a sachet from her arms, and the sachet felt heavy in her hand.

Lai Fu declined a few words and then took it. Naturally, he would not weigh it in front of Xiao Ye. He just took a look and put it in his arms, "Then thank Empress Zhaoyi on behalf of our family."

"Father-in-law, you're welcome."

Xiao Ye sent Lai Fu away. As soon as she entered the room, she felt Su Minglang's low pressure and asked in confusion, "Madam, what's wrong with you? What did Eunuch Lai Fu say? Is Concubine Gu going to cause trouble for you?"

"It's not a big deal." Su Minglang shook her head with a cold face. She admitted that she did guide her a few words, but in the final analysis, it was Concubine Gu Shufei's own business, and she could not be blamed anyway.

But she felt like she had something stuck in her throat, "I just hope she won't regret it."

"By the way, Xiaoye, do you know what the Taiji Palace's reaction was after the death of a palace maid?"

Xiao Ye shook her head. "I haven't heard of this. She's just a palace maid. There shouldn't be any reaction from her side. In fact, this news didn't cause any big splash when it reached the harem."
