After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine

"Think about Cairen. We don't know whether she is alive or dead yet!"

"Today, fortunately, it was a talented person who tasted it. If it was the emperor who ate it, wouldn't it be..."

Normally, the emperor would only eat the food after the eunuchs in charge of tasting the food had tasted it.

But today, when tasting the food, the eunuch suddenly felt sick to his stomach and was dragged out.

The new talent offered to try the dish, but as soon as he took a bite, he vomited blood and passed out.

The emperor was frightened and somehow he vomited blood.

At that time, the servants were all frightened and in chaos.

A eunuch walked in from outside and knelt down.

"Your Majesty, Xiao Linzi confessed."

"explain!"

"Xiao Linzi said that he was instructed by Concubine Lin to poison the talented lady's food."

When Concubine Lin heard this, she immediately made an excuse.

"Your Majesty, I don't even know who Xiao Linzi is, so how could I have ordered him to poison the talented lady?"

"Besides, I have no grudge against this talented lady, why would I poison her?"

The emperor seemed to be thinking about something.

"You are just jealous. After the talented woman entered the palace, she took away the emperor's favor from you!"

"You are worried that the emperor will forget you and the baby in your belly, so you came up with this vicious plan."

Concubine De made an indignant accusation from the side.

"I am jealous, but aren't you jealous, sister?"

Concubine Lin cried pitifully.

"No matter how jealous I am, I know that the entire palace, and even the entire world, belongs to the emperor!"

"Your Majesty, please favor whoever you want to favor. I just want to give birth to a prince smoothly."

The emperor sat at the top, his eyes shifting back and forth between Concubine De and Concubine Lin.

"Come here, send Concubine De back to the palace. Take Concubine Lin away and lock her up."

"Your Majesty, I will not go back. I want to seek justice for this talented person!"

Defei was unwilling to do so. She had finally caught an opportunity and couldn't let it go.

Concubine Lin stood up obediently and followed the palace maid out.

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly.

"I will get to the bottom of this matter."

Defei knew that the emperor was angry, so she left in anger.

"Come here, bring him to the Ministry of Justice and interrogate him thoroughly."

"Have someone conduct a thorough investigation to find out who has been in and out of Concubine Lin's Anhua Palace recently!"

How dare someone openly poison his food!

If he were to find out who that person is, he would never let him off easily!

Defei insisted that Concubine Lin was the one who poisoned the emperor, but the emperor was half-believing and half-doubting.

Among the three thousand concubines in the harem, Concubine Lin is the one with the least background.

She was also the one who was least likely to form cliques with other concubines.

As she said, all she could rely on was the emperor's favor.

But Concubine De is different. She has been in the palace for many years...

"Your Majesty, Xiao Linzi bit his tongue and committed suicide on his way to the Ministry of Justice!"

The eunuch just now ran in in a panic.

"waste!"

The emperor was so furious that he smashed the inkstone down.

The eunuch's head was smashed and blood was flowing out.

"The secret guards found out that Xiao Dezi had been in and out of Anhua Palace a few days ago."

"Bring Xiao Dezi up here."

Xiao Dezi was originally on duty today, and he was supposed to be the one tasting the lunch.

However, just as he was about to taste the food, he suddenly had diarrhea and soiled his pants.

He was immediately dragged away and locked up by other eunuchs.

Xiao Dezi was dragged up and he lay on the ground trembling.

"Tell me, who instructed you to poison my food?"

Xiao Dezi was so frightened that he hurried to explain.

"Your Majesty, please spare my life. Even if Xiao Dezi is brave enough, he would not dare to poison the food!"

"If you didn't poison it, why did you get diarrhea when you were supposed to taste the food?"

"I don't know either. I just drank a cup of tea from the talented person, and then I had diarrhea."

"How dare you! What you mean is that the talented person poisoned himself, and then he ate the poisoned meal himself, and then he used this to put the blame on others?"

"I don't know, but I definitely don't have the guts to poison the emperor!"

"So what were you doing at Anhua Palace the other day?"

Xiao Dezi was stunned for a moment, then reacted instantly.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Lin asked me to go there to ask about your situation. She wanted me to say a few good words for you in front of your Majesty and asked you to go to her palace for a visit."

"Is this true?"

There was a gleam in the emperor's eyes.

"Your Majesty, I dare not hide anything."

"Come here, take Xiao Dezi away and execute him by slow slicing!"

Xiao Dezi was so scared that he was shaking all over.

Xiao Dezi was dragged away.

"Your Majesty, the secret guards found out that there was a servant girl in Anhua Palace who had been to Concubine Shu's palace."

"check!"

"Yes!"

The emperor rubbed his temple.

"Xiao Anzi, rub my head for me."

The emperor gave an order and waited for a long time, but no one responded.

Only then did he remember that Eunuch An was no longer serving him.

Because of previous events, the emperor suspected that Eunuch An and the King of Qi were in collusion.

Eunuch An was transferred to Xinzheku and was responsible for cleaning the roads.

The emperor was depressed. He stood up and walked out of the imperial study.

In a corner of the cold palace, Eunuch An was slowly sweeping the fallen leaves on the road.

This is the cold palace and few people pass by.

So, Eunuch An cleaned slowly and took a break when he was tired.

From a favorite of the emperor, he suddenly fell to the lowest eunuch.

If it weren't for the connections he had accumulated in the palace over the years, those villains who flatter the powerful and look down on the weak would have come and stepped on him long ago.

Eunuch An was coughing while sweeping.

A few days ago, he unfortunately caught a cold.

He is really getting old. He gets sick at the slightest disturbance.

Thinking back to those days, he accompanied the emperor in the rain for several days and nights, and was still full of energy.

The emperor watched from afar as Eunuch An, hunched over, swept the road.

From time to time, he would stop and cough.

After seeing this, the emperor felt even more depressed.

He turned and walked back quickly.

After he walked away, Eunuch An turned around and looked at the emperor's back.

He is a martial artist and his hearing is more sensitive than that of ordinary people.

He noticed it before the emperor even came close.

Looking at the emperor's appearance, he must have encountered some difficulties, right?

Eunuch An shook his head and said, "If the king wants his subject to die, the subject must die."

He should just clean his way.

The emperor was furious and there was turmoil in the palace.

All the maids in Anhua Palace were slaughtered with blood.

Because Concubine Lin usually only discussed things with Qiuyu, Qiuyu was severely tortured.

Qiuyu clenched his teeth tightly, but eventually, he could not endure the torture and died.

A maid who worked in Concubine Shu's palace bit her tongue and committed suicide before she was tortured.

Concubine Shu protested her innocence and said that she did not know the maid.

No one was placed in Anhua Palace.

When Xiao Dezi was about to be executed, the emperor issued an imperial edict.
