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

"After all, although there are some rules in the palace, the death of a palace maid or eunuch is not uncommon. At most, they can just wrap them in straw mats and bury them casually. If you don't like it, you can give the gatekeepers a few taels of silver and ask them to take them out and bury them in a mass grave."

"Of course, most of them just say they died of illness, and naturally someone will come to clean up the mess."

"No response?" This made Su Minglang a little confused.

Logically speaking, Xiao Heng ordered all the imperial physicians to leave. According to usual practice, most of the concubines in the harem, especially those with higher positions, would ask the imperial physicians to check their pulses from time to time. Based on her understanding of Xiao Heng, it was impossible for him to know the time for checking pulses in every palace, and naturally it was impossible for him to choose one day to avoid everyone.

What's more, Li's abdominal pain came suddenly, so she had no time to worry or calculate. That means what happened that day would definitely attract a lot of attention.

But after this incident happened, the news that someone in Taiji Palace was pregnant must have been tacitly known among all the palaces. The timid ones could only peek secretly, while the bold ones, like Concubine Gu Shufei, would make plans early.

But now that someone had died in the Taiji Palace, Xiao Heng didn't care. Considering how he usually took care of Li, this was something that would never happen.

Or maybe he had some other way to protect Li or hide from everyone's sight.

"If the reaction is too big, it's fine. We can only tighten the law and order. If this continues, when Concubine Gu finds out that she has harmed the wrong person, there will be no next chance." Su Minglang sighed slightly, "I'm afraid they are also secretly plotting. It depends on who can win."

Although Su Minglang also wanted to use Concubine Shu to get rid of Li and the child in her arms, she only said two words and caused the tragic death of an innocent palace maid. If she gave her any advice or help, more people would probably die.

After all, Concubine Gu Shu could not see anyone except the emperor, so she naturally would not care about the lives of a few palace maids. As for Li, she would only live comfortably under Xiao Heng's protection and enjoy the fun of watching the tigers fight from a mountain.

And those palace maids who suffered must have had contact with the emperor in various senses.

Li was just like Concubine Gu. She could not tolerate those palace maids, whether innocent or not so innocent. If someone took the initiative to get rid of them, she would naturally be happy to do so.

Su Minglang's uneasiness lasted for several days. There had been no sound in the Taiji Palace during these days. If he could convince himself at the beginning that the Taiji Palace remained silent only because they had not yet completed the investigation into the cause of death of the palace maid, but several days had passed and the cause of death, let alone her hometown and family, would have been found out long ago. But it was just quiet from beginning to end, as if nothing had happened.

"Xiao Ye, Xiao Ye! You said that I am feeling more and more uneasy, why is that?" Su Minglang rested his chin on his hand and looked at Xiao Ye eagerly.

Xiao Ye reluctantly put down the things in his hand, walked up to her and gently pressed her eyebrows, "Madam, what are you worried about? This matter has nothing to do with you anyway."

"Just let them do what they want!"

"Oh!" Su Minglang sighed and collapsed on the table without any image. He enjoyed Xiaoye's massage as a matter of course and squinted his eyes comfortably.

"You're right, let them do whatever they want."

Compared with the casualness of Su Minglang's side, the atmosphere in Jingyang Palace was a bit tense.

"What did you say? That maid is not pregnant?"

This was already the third set of tea sets that Concubine Gu had smashed. The palace maids standing by looked at each other and shrank back cautiously, fearing that they would be used as punching bags by Concubine Gu if she was unhappy with them.

Lai Fu knelt below with a face full of fear, "Indeed, I am not pregnant."

"I specially asked someone to check the mass grave. The palace maid showed no signs of pregnancy when she died. I'm afraid, I'm afraid..."

Lai Fu naturally didn't dare to say that he was afraid that he had killed the wrong person. He was also afraid that Concubine Gu Shu would get angry and pour the boiling hot tea on his head.

"By the way, why did you suddenly think of checking this?" After throwing some things, Concubine Gu Shu calmed down after venting her anger. She soon realized the suspicious point, "Did anyone tell you anything?"

I have to say that her guess this time was very accurate.

"Your Majesty, yes, it's Su Zhaoyi." Lai Fu frowned and said with an embarrassed look, "At first I didn't pay much attention to it, but after a few days, there was still no movement over there, and even the Dali Temple didn't come to the palace."

"Someone is dead. If she was really pregnant with a dragon, there would be no way there wouldn't be any movement. That's why I suddenly thought of the last words Su Zhaoyi said that day."

"What did she say?" Concubine Gu asked impatiently.

"She, she said..." Lai Fu tried hard to recall, "She said she only hoped that the people who were punished would be those who were restless."

"You mean she already knew that the dead maid was not the pregnant one?" Concubine Gu was a little frightened. She had never looked down upon this little Zhaoyi who was begging for mercy from her.

But if she really knew the ending in advance, then she is a really strange person.

"Not necessarily?" Lai Fu frowned and advised softly, "That day I saw that she didn't know anything. If she really knew something, she would have ridiculed her long ago."

"How could you possibly agree with a smile?"

"And when I hinted to her that the maid's death was related to you, her expression changed obviously."

"Then why did she say that?" Lai Fu's words obviously could not comfort Concubine Gu Shufei's nervous heart. "Isn't the implication of her words that I killed the wrong person?"

"Maybe she just said that?" Lai Fu guessed, "You also know that Su Zhaoyi was not only planted in the palace some time ago, but was also poisoned and framed, while that Concubine Li has not been punished until now, and she hasn't even been stripped of her position as a concubine."

"She was almost poisoned to death, but in the end only a palace maid died. How could Su Zhaoyi feel at ease?"

The more Lai Fu spoke, the more he was convinced that Su Minglang just felt it was unfair, so he sighed, "And that Concubine Lu before, she was childless for her whole life, and in the end she was only demoted, and she was even released to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet before she even finished her confinement."

"Just think about it, it must be like this!"

Concubine Gu thought about it and felt that this reason was more convincing. After all, she didn't take Su Minglang seriously. After all, she was just a concubine with a lower rank than herself. Maybe she would be a little offended by her favor in the past, but now that there is someone more offending, she naturally won't even look at her again.
