Chapter 513 I Eat Melon in the Palace Fighting Story 14

Concubine Lin immediately understood that this was done to prevent Lin Fuqiu from sleeping with him.

After the new brides entered the palace, according to custom, the emperor would take turns to favor them. But if anyone had health problems, they would definitely not be able to sleep with him.

The current emperor is obsessed with things of the previous dynasty and has no interest in the harem. He only enters the harem a few times a month out of responsibility.

As long as Lin Fuqiu cannot serve him in bed at the beginning, after a period of time, when the emperor returns to his previous normal state, he probably won’t think of Lin Fuqiu, and it will be difficult for her to serve him in bed.

If he can't sleep with his wife, then the child is naturally just empty talk.

Naturally, the same thing happened in the previous life, but Lin Fuqiu did not notice the trick on the clothes, so she was caught off guard and got a lot of small bumps on her body.

Although the imperial physician was invited to find out the cause of the infection, it was not possible to eliminate the pimples on her body in a short time. When she recovered, the emperor had already favored the new concubines, and then returned to his original state and rarely entered the harem.

Later, Concubine Lin made great efforts to get her to sleep with him, and then she became pregnant.

Naturally, she could not repeat the experience of her previous life in this life, so she took the initiative to discover the powder on her clothes at the beginning, and then asked the palace maid around her to attract Concubine Lin.

Concubine Lin naturally knew that this was directed at her.

She was very angry at the moment, but seeing that the imperial physician was still here, she could only suppress her anger temporarily.

After the imperial physician left, she slammed the table in anger and cursed, "You are all a bunch of bitches. It's not enough that you have harmed my child, and now you dare to ruin my good deeds."

She didn't know who did it, but it was probably those old women in the palace.

Maybe it was just one, or maybe they all did.

"Just wait. Even if I can't catch you, I won't let it go." Concubine Lin had a bad temper to begin with. How could she swallow her anger when being bullied like this? She immediately rushed out with her men in a menacing manner.

As for Lin Fuqiu next to her, she didn't take her seriously. She was so angry not because Lin Fuqiu was harmed, but because someone bullied her and was angry that someone ruined her plan.

Only after Concubine Lin left Mingfang Pavilion did Lin Fuqiu's timid look disappear completely.

Of course, she didn't let Luzhu, who was beside her, see it. What Luzhu saw was that she stared at the receding figure of Concubine Lin for a long time.

Luzhu was the palace maid assigned to her by Concubine Lin. She was Concubine Lin's person and was specifically assigned to monitor her. It was she who had reported the news to Concubine Lin earlier.

With Baolin's position, she was able to have two senior palace maids, one of whom was naturally the maid Caiping she brought in, and the other was Luzhu.

Moreover, it is likely that there are not only Concubine Lin's people in her Mingfang Pavilion. Who knows who's people are among those palace maids and eunuchs.

The only person available around her is Caiping, which is very inconvenient, so her top priority now is to train her own people.

She has the memories of her previous life, so she knows that Lu Zhu is not so devoted to Concubine Lin, so what she wants to do most now is to win Lu Zhu over.

As long as she could conquer Lu Zhu, she would not only have one more person of her own to use, but she would also not have to worry too much about Concubine Lin, and she could also place one of her own people next to Concubine Lin.

Over there, after leaving Mingfang Pavilion, Concubine Lin went to the Queen's Fengyi Palace.

The Queen has an overall overview of all matters in the harem. Now that there has been an incident in the harem where a concubine was drugged, of course the Queen has to take charge and conduct a thorough investigation.

Although this incident was not a big deal, even if it was discovered, it would not cause much loss to the person behind the scenes. It was more likely that the mastermind would not be found at all, and only the person who took the blame could be found.

But Concubine Lin would not choose to keep quiet. She wanted to make a big fuss and at least teach the person behind the scenes a lesson.

When the Queen learned about this, she immediately ordered a strict investigation of the matter. Anyone who had touched the dress was brought in for investigation. Hongyu was naturally included in the list because it was Hongyu who gave the dress to Lin Baolin that day.

But Hongyu immediately said that she was not feeling well that day and asked someone else to help her deliver clothes. She then mentioned Lin Mei's name and produced evidence that she was sick at the time.

She also specifically said that it was Lin Mei who offered to deliver clothes to her because she saw that she was not feeling well, in order to deepen their suspicion of Lin Mei.

That's why Lin Mei was taken away in public later.

In fact, Hongyu pretended to be sick and asked Lin Mei to deliver the clothes that day because she accidentally found out that someone had tampered with the clothes and there would be problems when they were worn, so she resorted to this desperate measure.

She was afraid that if she went to deliver the clothes herself, then if something went wrong later, she would be pushed out as a scapegoat. She didn't want to be a scapegoat, so she had to find someone else to help her deliver the clothes so as to clear herself of suspicion.

As for Lin Mei, she can only hope for the best.

Hongyu knew that Lin Mei was innocent, but she had no choice. If she didn't frame Lin Mei, she would be in trouble, so she would rather die than let her friend die. This kind of frame-up was common in the palace.

In order to make herself less suspicious, Hongyu stayed with other people until she got the clothes, ensuring that she had no chance to do anything else.

After getting the clothes, she walked with the others for a while until they reached the Imperial Garden, where they separated to ensure that she had definitely not drugged anyone.

So actually, when Lin Mei called Hongyu in the Imperial Garden, there were other palace maids from the Shangfu Bureau with her, but after she saw someone talking to Hongyu, she went to do her job first.

Hongyu did all this to completely clear herself of suspicion and to show that she did not have time to drug him.

After Hongyu explained everything clearly and called the witnesses she mentioned to confirm what she said, the people in the Palace Justice Division who were investigating the case knew that she was innocent and was not the one who put drugs in her clothes.

Although she was cleared of suspicion, she had the audacity to assign the task she was supposed to do to someone else without permission, and something went wrong, so she also had to be punished.

Hongyu was fined half a year's salary.

Although she was heartbroken, it was better than losing her life. She was already very satisfied.

Since the people from the Shangfu Bureau dared to put drugs in the clothes, they had already destroyed the evidence to ensure that there were no loopholes, so Lin Mei, who was pointed out, became a major suspect.

When Lin Mei was brought in, she knew nothing at first and refused to admit that she was the one who sprinkled the powder on her clothes.

Because the Queen Mother has ordered that this matter must be investigated thoroughly, and if it cannot be found out, all the people in the Palace Administration Department will be punished.

The people in the Palace Administration Office were shrewd people, so they naturally knew that this was caused by the fight between the high-ranking ladies.

Even if they found out the truth of the matter, they probably wouldn't be able to inflict any harm on the murderer, and they would also offend a certain queen, who might even retaliate against them, so they didn't really want to find out what was going on.

Although the harem was managed by the Empress Dowager and they should listen to her, the Empress Dowager had no children and her position as Empress was not particularly stable, so they did not dare to offend the concubines in higher positions.

It can be said that this matter put the people of Gong Zhengsi in a dilemma.

And they didn't find out anything, so it can be said that Lin Mei came at the right time.

A little palace maid can be the perfect person to take the blame without offending anyone.

So when Lin Mei was brought here, her fate was almost sealed.

Although she refused to admit that she was the one who poisoned the clothes, she finally admitted that she was the one who poisoned them under the torture of Gong Zhengsi.

As for why, it was because she was jealous of these new ladies in the harem, because she had recently used all kinds of connections to want to serve these new ladies, but failed, which made her hate these new ladies.

Although this reason was indeed a bit absurd, there were many strange reasons and people who harmed people in this palace, so hers was nothing.

As for where the drugs she used to harm people came from, she secretly prepared them herself.

Because her father was a doctor before she entered the palace, she knew some pharmacology through observation and imitation, so it was not surprising that she could prepare such harmful powder.
