The abandoned concubine is charming and charming, and the sickly prince breaks his waist

Empress Liu paused while drinking her tea. She looked at Concubine Yi and frowned, asking, "Why did you suspect her?"

Concubine Yi recounted the smell of medicine she smelled when she was knocked unconscious that night and the same smell of medicine she smelled on Hua Shu just now.

Empress Liu frowned even more after hearing this. She put down the teacup in her hand and asked, "How can you be sure it's her? Maybe it tastes the same."

Concubine Yi shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, you don't know. I know some medical skills and am very sensitive to the smell of medicine. I was just suspicious just now, but now that I think about it carefully, I am basically sure that the person who saved Chu Hengzhi that night was Lady Hua."

"Why do you think so?" asked Empress Liu.

Yipin said seriously: "The smell of medicine on her body is different from that of ordinary people. I heard from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that this beautiful lady also knows medicine, so I am sure that she was the one who rescued Chu Hengzhi that night."

Empress Liu's brows were furrowed into a shape of a "川" (川) character. She still didn't believe that the person who rescued Chu Hengzhi was Hua Shu, because Hua Huaiyuan sent her into the palace just to help them, and she would never betray the Hua family.

But Concubine Yi is Cheng'er's person. She has been helping them wholeheartedly over the years, and Empress Liu believes in her words.

As a result, Empress Liu couldn't figure out what went wrong.

Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, Yipin hesitated for a moment but couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, could it be that because Concubine Shu pushed her into the water, she wanted revenge and therefore opposed us?"

Empress Liu pondered for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Absolutely impossible."

Even if Hua Shu hated Concubine Shu because of this, she didn't dare to go against them. After all, her brother was still in Hua Huaiyuan's hands.

Empress Liu pondered for a moment and said, "You go back first. I will send someone to investigate this matter."

"Yes, I'll take my leave." After Concubine Yi bowed to her, she retreated the same way she came.

After she left, Empress Liu called the assassin around her and asked him to check whether Hua Shu had left Xiaoyuexuan that night.

……

As soon as Hua Shu returned to Xiaoyuexuan, He Zhong came with a bunch of rewards.

Looking at the palace servants in the courtyard holding silks, satins, and jewelry, as well as the two palace maids and two eunuchs standing beside them.

Hua Shu looked at He Zhong in confusion and asked, "Eunuch He, what is this?"

He Zhong smiled and said, "My beauty, these are specially sent to you by the Emperor. The Emperor also sent these four to serve you. If you are not used to them, you can change them at any time."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the four palace maids beside him and said, "Come over and meet Lady Hua."

Upon hearing this, the palace maids and eunuchs stepped forward and bowed to Hua Shu, saying, "Your servant is Rendong Lianye, and your servant is Xiaoshengzi Xiaokangzi. "Greetings, beautiful lady."

Hua Shu smiled and said, "Please, eunuch, thank the emperor for me."

After saying that, she looked at Caiyue who was standing beside her and said, "Go and pour a cup of tea for Eunuch He."

He Zhong smiled and said, "Thank you, my lady. Tea is not necessary. Please accept the gift. I have to go back and serve the emperor."

Hua Shu stepped forward and grabbed a few golden leaves and put them into He Zhong's hand: "It's getting hot, father-in-law, take these and buy some tea."

He Zhong bowed to her and said, "Thank you, my beauty."

After He Zhong left, Hua Shu asked Caiyue to put away her things, and then said a few words to the four newcomers before going into the house.

But when she turned around, she glanced at Rendong and Xiao Shengzi, and the look in her eyes spoke for itself.

About a cup of tea later, Caiyue came in with Rendong: "Miss, she said she has something to tell you."

Hua Shu, who was lying on the chaise longue with her eyes closed, opened her eyes. She looked at Ren Dong, who was following behind Cai Yue with her head down, and asked with a smile, "Do you have anything to say to me?"

Honeysuckle stepped forward and knelt before her with a plop, saying, "From now on, I will be yours, if you have anything to ask, just tell me."

Hua Shu naturally understood the meaning of her words. The corners of her lips curled up slightly. She thought that Chu Hengzhi would take some time to arrange for someone to come over, but she didn't expect that he would arrange someone to come over today. It seems that he has a lot of secret agents in the palace.

Putting away her thoughts, she stood up, walked to Honeysuckle and said, "I just want you to do one thing now."

Caiyue hesitated for a moment, but still stepped forward and whispered, "Miss, we don't know her background yet. If you have anything to do, please tell this servant to do it."

Hua Shu looked at her and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "She is the person sent to me by the Fourth Prince."

Caiyue's pupils widened after hearing this. After she realized what was happening, she looked at her in disbelief: "Miss."

Hua Shu patted her shoulder gently, then looked at Ren Dong and said, "I want you to spread the news that the emperor just sent someone to deliver something, and make sure it reaches the ears of Concubine Shu."

After listening to this, Honeysuckle responded, "I will do it right away."

After that, she added: "Beauty, Xiao Shengzi is my younger brother. You can also ask him to do anything you want."

Hua Shu smiled and nodded, and Rendong bowed to her and then stepped out.

After she left, Caiyue closed the door and looked at Hua Shu hesitantly, as if she wanted to say something.

Hua Shu pulled her to sit on the chaise longue, looked at her and said, "Caiyue, if you are afraid, I will find a way to send you out of the palace."

Caiyue quickly shook her head and said, "Miss, I am not afraid, I am worried about you. If the master knew that you were on good terms with the Fourth Prince, he would definitely not let you go."

Thinking about how he risked his life to do things for Hua Huaiyuan in his previous life, he never let himself and A Xuan go.

Hua Shu showed a trace of sneer on her face: "He never regarded me as his daughter. Even if I didn't get along well with Chu Hengzhi, he wouldn't let me go."

Caiyue looked at her and suddenly remembered something. A hint of reluctance and struggle flashed in her eyes. In the end, she still held Hua Shu's hand and said, "Miss, no matter what you do, I will accompany you."

Hua Shu showed a sincere look on her face. She hugged Caiyue and said, "Fortunately, I still have you by my side."

Hearing her say this, a hint of guilt flashed in Caiyue's eyes. She patted Hua Shu's back gently and said nothing.

After a while, Hua Shu let her go and told her that in addition to Rendong, Xiao Shengzi was also Chu Hengzhi's man. He asked her to arrange them to serve him closely, and to be more careful with the other two.

Caiyue responded and retreated, and Huashu lay back on the chaise longue. She couldn't help but worry about how Axuan was doing in the mansion.

After much thought, she decided to act as soon as possible and let Chu Hengzhi find a way to bring Axuan into the palace to meet her.

……

At the same time, the news that the emperor had rewarded Xiaoyuexuan generously spread throughout the harem. Empress Liu, Noble Concubine Fu, Concubine Lin, and Concubine Qi Hui were not very surprised about this because they had long expected Hua Shu to be favored.

Concubine Li Shu was just the opposite of them. After learning the news, she was so angry that she threw a lot of things.

Chunmei quickly stepped forward to stop her: "My lady, please take care of yourself."

At this time, Concubine Li Shu also remembered that she was pregnant. She calmed down and said in a deep voice, "Go and call Hua Meiren over to me."
