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

When Empress Liu saw the box in Doctor He's hand and the palace maid, her face turned pale instantly. She turned her head to look at Concubine Li Shu and happened to meet her smug smile.

At this moment, Empress Liu instantly realized that she had been plotted against and Concubine Li had betrayed her again.

Looking at Empress Liu's ugly face, Hua Shu's eyes flashed with a sneer. She caused Concubine Li Shu to never have children in her life, and she actually thought that she would be loyal. It was simply a foolish dream.

She wanted to see how the emperor would protect her now that there were witnesses and evidence.

The crowd didn't recognize the box in He Zhong's hand, but they recognized that the palace maid being escorted was the queen's man.

Although she was not Empress Liu's personal maid, she was also a well-known maid around Empress Liu.

Now that she was brought in, it was inevitable that people would suspect that today's incident was related to the Queen.

Emperor Wu Ren also recognized that the maid was the queen's person, and he also recognized the box, but he still didn't believe that she would poison him.

“Where did these come from?”

The question was addressed to He Zhong, but the person he was looking at was Empress Liu.

He Zhong glanced at Empress Liu, took the box and stepped forward, saying, "Your Majesty, when I was leading two imperial doctors to Chonghua Palace, I saw this maid digging a hole in the corner and trying to bury the box. I thought she couldn't move, so I had someone restrain her and let the imperial doctors check the box."

If he was the only one searching today, this box would never have appeared in front of the emperor. Unfortunately, there were two imperial doctors searching with him today.

Even if he could bribe Imperial Physician He, he couldn't bribe Imperial Physician Sun. After all, Imperial Physician Sun was the emperor's man. If the emperor knew that he had always been able to please both sides, the only thing waiting for him would be death.

So between money and life, he still chose his own life. As for whether the queen can escape this disaster, it depends on herself.

Emperor Wu Ren looked at the box in front of him, and his hands in his sleeves tightened unconsciously. He did not ask Empress Liu or He Zhong, but looked at Doctor Sun and asked:

“Is there something wrong with this box?”

Doctor Sun stepped forward, took the box from He Zhong, opened it and placed it in front of Emperor Wu Ren, saying, "Your Majesty, Doctor He and I have carefully checked this box..."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Oleander pollen was once placed in this box. Although it has been cleaned, this hairpin and the inner wall of the box still show what was once placed in the box."

Emperor Wu Ren's anger was already burning to the top of his head, but he still suppressed his anger and looked at the palace maid.

"Who told you to bury the box?"

The maid subconsciously glanced in the direction of Empress Liu and Nanny Zhang, then quickly retracted her gaze, lowered her head and stammered, "Your Majesty, no... no one asked me to bury him. I wanted to bury him myself."

Anyone who is not a fool would know that she was lying, because the box belonged to Empress Liu, and she was just a palace maid. How could she have the right to bury it as she pleased, unless someone asked her to do so.

Looking at the hairpin in the box and then at the shivering palace maid, Emperor Wu Ren turned his head to look at Empress Liu, his voice so cold that it made people's backs chill.

"Queen, do you have anything to explain?"

He could pretend not to see that Empress Liu drugged Hua Shu and caused her to have a miscarriage. Even if she poisoned Hua Shu to death today, he could say that she died of illness. However, she chose to do it when he was in Chuxiu Palace, which made him angry.

Hua Shu set this trap by taking advantage of his psychology. After all, everyone is afraid of death, not to mention that he is the king of a country.

Empress Liu had lived with Emperor Wu Ren for so many years, and she could see at a glance that he was almost unable to suppress his anger.

She had already guessed that the oleander pollen in the box was put there by Concubine Li Shu today, because she was the only one who opened the box today when she was combing her hair.

But even though she knew it was Concubine Li Shufei who did it, she had no evidence to prove it.

After much thought, she decided to gamble on her position in the emperor's heart.

"Your Majesty, I have no idea what kind of oleander pollen was in this box, and I never asked Madam Zhang to poison Concubine Rou."

After she finished speaking, she paused for a moment, and then continued, "Your Majesty, this box contains the token of love you gave me. Even if I wanted to harm someone, I would not put the medicine in it. I beg Your Majesty to investigate and clear my name."

Emperor Wu Ren looked at the hairpin in the box, and his mind unconsciously recalled every little detail of his time with Empress Liu, especially the scene when she tried her best to save him when he was still a prince.

Hua Shu saw the expression on Wu Rendi's face clearly. Seeing that he was somewhat moved, a sneer flashed in her eyes.

This emperor is really a lovesick man, but I don’t know what he will choose between his own life and his own.

After thinking about it, she made a gesture to Concubine Li Shu who was standing next to Emperor Wu Ren.

Concubine Li Shu also saw that Empress Liu's emotional card had worked. She was just about to see what Hua Shu would do next, but she happened to see the gesture she made.

She nodded slightly to Hua Shu, then withdrew her gaze and a sneer flashed across her eyes. Then she looked at Emperor Wu Ren and said:

"Your Majesty, I think this is too much of a coincidence. The maid could have buried the box at any other time, but chose to bury it when the imperial physician went to search. The more I think about it, the more I think she did it on purpose."

Empress Liu looked at Concubine Li coldly, not believing that she would be kind enough to speak up for her.

As expected, Concubine Li Shu continued, "Your Majesty, I think this maid must have been bribed to frame the Empress. We will not get anything out of her by asking her this way. Why do we need to have her dragged away and severely punished? If she does not change her words even under severe punishment, then her words can be trusted."

Empress Liu immediately understood what she meant and guessed that the palace maid must have been bribed by them.

If torture is really used, she will definitely say a lot of things that are unfavorable to her. Torture must never be used.

Thinking of this, Empress Liu was about to speak, but Hua Shu's weak voice sounded before her.

"Your Majesty, severe punishment will surely lead to confessions. I think torture should not be used."

When Hua Shu suddenly spoke, everyone subconsciously looked at her, only to see her leaning on Rendong with a pale face.

Concubine Li Shu frowned slightly and said, "If we don't use torture, how can we know that the maid is telling the truth? Concubine Rou, now it's not just about your miscarriage, but also about the food that the emperor eats. If something happens to the emperor, can you take responsibility?"

Hua Shu opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but no words came out.

After hearing what Concubine Li Shufei said, Emperor Wu Ren immediately remembered that Imperial Physician He said that the medicine in the ginseng duck he ate would make people crazy.

He glanced at Empress Liu and without giving them a chance to speak, he coldly ordered He Zhong to take the palace maid away and torture her until she was willing to speak.

About a cup of tea later, He Zhong walked in, dragging the bloody palace maid: "Your Majesty, she confessed."

Hearing this, everyone's eyes fell on the palace maid, who raised her hand and pointed at someone.

Everyone thought she was referring to Empress Liu, but when everyone saw who she was referring to, they were stunned.

Even Empress Liu and Concubine Li were stunned. They had never thought that the maid was referring to her...
