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

Caiyue looked up at Concubine Qi Hui and said with a sad face, "Madam Hui, you have also given birth to a child. My madam's body is difficult to get pregnant. She doesn't even have time to cherish her child, so how could she use the child to harm others?"

Concubine Qi Hui opened her mouth to say something, but Caiyue spoke before her: "Your Majesty, in order to prove the innocence of me and the queen, I am willing to go to the Ministry of Punishment for questioning."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes fell on Caiyue. This little girl was so loyal.

Caiyue ignored everyone's gazes, knelt down in front of Emperor Wu Ren and said, "Your Majesty, this is not the first or second time that drugs have been put into the Empress's food. I asked Imperial Doctor He to check it in advance."

"Today, I thought that since you were here, those people would not poison me, so I did not order them to check. But who knew that they were so bold and poisoned me even though they knew you were here."

After saying that, she kowtowed several times to Emperor Wu Ren. Blood flowed from her forehead, but she seemed not to feel it.

"Your Majesty, I did serve the fish soup myself. I am willing to go to the Ministry of Punishment to be severely punished. My death is not a pity. I beg Your Majesty to see through everything and give justice to the queen and the little prince."

Seeing Caiyue still kowtowing, Concubine Fu felt a little sorry for her. She stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, this matter involves the Empress and the heir. I think it's better to investigate it thoroughly."

Concubine Lin Xian glanced at Hua Shu on the bed and echoed, "Your Majesty, I think what the imperial concubine said makes sense. If this matter is not investigated thoroughly, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the palace to have children in the future."

After listening to what the two of them said, Emperor Wu Ren's eyes fell on Empress Liu again.

Seeing him looking at her, Empress Liu "knelt down in front of him and said, "Your Majesty, I have never done this. If you don't believe me, I am willing to go to the Ministry of Punishment to be interrogated."

When these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked. If she, as the queen, was sent to the Ministry of Punishment, what was the difference between that and being deposed?

Emperor Wu Ren also knew the truth behind this. He said sternly, "Nonsense! As the master of the six palaces, how can you go to the Ministry of Punishment?"

Empress Liu lowered her head and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "As long as you can prove my innocence, I am willing to go."

Hearing this, Emperor Wu Ren's eyes turned cold, and his gaze fell back on Hua Shu who had "fainted" on the bed.

Seeing this, Concubine Qi Hui hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth and stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I think this matter is very strange. Even if the Queen wanted to harm Concubine Rou, she would not choose to do so when you are here, and besides..."

Before she could finish her words, she heard a weak voice beside the bed: "Your Majesty, I believe this matter has nothing to do with the Empress. Someone must be trying to kill two birds with one stone. I beg Your Majesty to be clear-headed and clear the Empress and me."

Hearing this, everyone turned their heads and saw Hua Shu's face was pale and her lips were bloodless. She was holding on to the bed and trying to get down.

Emperor Wu Ren looked at her but did not say anything to stop her. Seeing this, Concubine Fu hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Rou just had a miscarriage and is still very weak. Let her lie down."

Emperor Wu Ren pondered for a moment and nodded, "Just lie down. I will definitely investigate this matter and give you justice."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Hua Shu lay back on the bed, tears streaming down her cheeks, it was heartbreaking to see.

In fact, she planned to do it later, but in the current situation, if she didn't wake up, Caiyue would have to go to the Ministry of Punishment.

She had experienced the torturous methods used by the Ministry of Punishment in her previous life, and she didn't want Caiyue to experience the same thing, so she woke up early.

Concubine Yi, who had not spoken a word since entering Chuxiu Palace, frowned slightly when she looked at Hua Shu. There was indeed the smell of oleander pollen in the room, but she also smelled a very faint smell of medicine.

At first she suspected that she had smelled it wrong, but when she saw the red dot on Hua Shu's wrist when she lifted the quilt, she was sure that Hua Shu had used fake pregnancy drugs.

She wanted to tell the queen, but because of her status she had no right to speak.

Empress Liu initially thought that what happened tonight was done by Concubine Li Shufei and Concubine Qi Huifei, but now it seems that what happened tonight has nothing to do with them.

In this case, there is only one possibility, that is, Concubine Qi Hui guessed correctly, and what happened tonight was directed and acted by Hua Shu herself.

For a moment, the room fell into deathly silence. Finally, it was Concubine Li Shu who spoke first to break the deathly silence.

"Your Majesty, since no one is telling the truth, why not send Caiyue, Nanny Zhang, and these old maids to the Ministry of Punishment? I don't believe that no one will tell the truth under heavy punishment."

Her idea was the best one at the moment, but Nanny Zhang was Empress Liu's wet nurse, so how could she bear to let her go to the Ministry of Punishment?

As soon as Concubine Li Shu finished speaking, Empress Liu glanced at her, then looked at Emperor Wu Ren and said, "Your Majesty, Nanny Zhang is too old to endure the hardships, and I am willing to go on this journey for her."

Emperor Wu Ren had originally been prepared to let Caiyue and Nanny Zhang take her away, but after hearing what Empress Liu said, his face darkened again.

Seeing this, Nanny Zhang said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to go to the Ministry of Punishment to prove the Queen's innocence."

Upon hearing this, Empress Liu turned her head and frowned at her. Although she was a legitimate daughter, she was still a daughter and could not compare to her brothers.

The only one who was truly good to her was Nanny Zhang, and she would never let Nanny Zhang go to the Ministry of Punishment no matter what.

After thinking about it, she ignored Nanny Zhang's eyes and looked at Emperor Wu Ren and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to go on behalf of Nanny Zhang."

Before he finished speaking, Emperor Wu Ren slammed the table heavily and said angrily: "Queen, do you really think I dare not let you go to the Ministry of Punishment?"

Empress Liu tightened her hands in her sleeves. She knew that Emperor Wu Ren was already angry. If she continued talking, he might really ask her to go to the Ministry of Punishment. But she really couldn't bear to see Nanny Zhang go to the Ministry of Punishment.

Before she could think of a solution, Concubine Li Shu hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, in this case, how about having someone search the six palaces thoroughly? I think the poisoner must not have processed the drug in such a short time. It would be best to send a few imperial doctors to follow the search."

Emperor Wu Ren glanced at her subconsciously. Why did he feel that she had become smarter today?

He thought about it carefully and felt that her method was feasible, so he ordered He Zhong to bring the imperial physician to thoroughly check the six palaces.

Empress Liu also glanced at Concubine Li Shu, somewhat unsure of what she meant by saying that. Unexpectedly, Concubine Li Shu gave her a smile that said, "Everything is up to me."

Empress Liu thought she had found a solution and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but Concubine Qi Hui and Concubine Yi felt that Concubine Li Shu was a little strange, but they didn't say anything.

For a moment, there was no sound in the room except for Concubine Fu's voice asking Hua Shu in a low voice.

About half an incense stick of time later, footsteps were heard at the door and everyone looked towards the door.

Then I saw He Zhong walking away with two imperial doctors with a grim look on his face. He was holding a box in his hand and a palace maid was following him.
