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

Concubine Qi Hui was still thinking of ways to help Empress Liu get rid of suspicion. When she saw that the person the palace maid was pointing at was herself, she was stunned.

After she came to her senses, she immediately looked at Empress Liu, suspecting that she was trying to pin the incident on her.

But when she looked at Empress Liu, whose expression was equally grim, Concubine Qi Hui tightened her hands in her sleeves. Could it be that this palace maid was not arranged by her?

Before she could figure it out, Emperor Wu Ren's cold voice rang out in the room: "Are you referring to Concubine Hui or Concubine Rou?"

When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned. After they reacted, they understood why Emperor Wu Ren asked this.

Looking in the direction pointed by the palace maid, the first person I saw was Concubine Qi Hui, followed by Hua Shu.

Concubine Qi Hui clenched her hands into fists in her sleeves, her nails digging deep into the flesh. She looked at the palace maid and prayed in her heart that she would say Hua Shu's name.

The hand that the maid raised was shaking badly. She said with a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, it was Concubine Hui. She brought the oleander pollen in the box to Chonghua Palace for the Empress."

"You're talking nonsense. When did I ever take oleander pollen to Chonghua Palace? It's obvious that you accepted benefits from others and wanted to frame me." Concubine Qi Hui looked at the palace maid with a grim face.

She wanted to say something else, but Emperor Wu Ren interrupted her sharply: "Shut up."

Concubine Qi Hui glanced at the palace maid somewhat unwillingly, but could only swallow her words back.

Emperor Wu Ren looked at the maid and asked, "Did Huipin ask you to give Roupin a drug in the name of the Queen to cause her to have a miscarriage?"

As long as the palace maid said yes, he would send Concubine Qi Hui to the cold palace without hesitation.

Empress Liu also noticed this. She looked at the palace maid nervously, hoping that she would say something in her favor because she had never treated her unfairly.

When Concubine Qi Hui saw that Emperor Wu Ren wanted to pin the incident on her, her face turned pale instantly.

For a moment, everyone in the room looked at the palace maid. Even Caiyue and Rendong became nervous, their hands wet with sweat.

Hua Shu was not as nervous as they were. Even if the palace maid pointed at Concubine Qi Hui because of the deep affection between master and servant, it would not be a loss to her. She had already made preparations for both scenarios.

The maid subconsciously glanced at Empress Liu, then quickly lowered her head and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, the medicine was taken to Chonghua Palace by Concubine Hui, but the Empress asked Madam Zhang to bring it down from the Imperial Kitchen. When the Empress came to Chuxiu Palace, she ordered this servant to bury the box and the hairpin."

"When the Empress heard that the Emperor was in Chuxiu Palace, she just asked Nanny Zhang to put it in the medicinal fish soup because the Emperor never drinks fish soup."

"Later, the Empress heard that Concubine Rou had a dish of duck with ginseng sauce in her dinner tonight. Thinking that Your Majesty didn't like it, she gave Nanny Zhang another packet of medicine and asked her to put it in the duck with ginseng sauce."

Emperor Wu Ren's expression was extremely ugly. He did not give Empress Liu a chance to speak, but continued to ask: "Why didn't she poison Concubine Rou earlier or later, but chose to poison her today?"

The maid was already on the verge of death due to the severe torture. She looked up at Emperor Wu Ren and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress took action today because the Emperor said he would have dinner with her tonight, but ended up going to Chuxiu Palace. The Empress was so angry that she chose today."

"Another reason is that it was previously rumored in the palace that Your Majesty had said that as long as Concubine Rou gave birth to a prince, you would promote her to the position of consort. Concubine Rou was already extremely beautiful, and the Empress was afraid that she would threaten her position by giving birth to another prince, so she acted so quickly."

After saying that, she tried to stand up and kowtowed heavily to Emperor Wu Ren, saying, "Your Majesty, I have told you everything I know. I beg Your Majesty to let my mother go. She is innocent..."

Before she could finish her words, she fell to the ground and was motionless.

Upon seeing this, He Zhong hurried forward to check, then said with a serious expression: "Your Majesty, he has died."

Emperor Wu Ren was already furious at this time. He picked up the box beside him and smashed it hard on Empress Liu, saying angrily: "Poisonous woman, what else do you have to say?"

Empress Liu never expected that the palace maid would say that, nor did she expect Emperor Wu Ren to take action. She was completely unprepared for the box to hit her forehead, leaving a bloody gash.

Everyone present was stunned for a moment, but Concubine Fu was the first to react. She knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down."

After hearing her voice, Concubine Lin Xian, Concubine Qi Hui, Concubine Li Shu, and Concubine Yi also reacted and quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down."

A sneer flashed in Hua Shu's eyes, but her face was full of disbelief. She lifted the quilt and wanted to get up, but her legs went weak and she fell to the ground.

"Master." Honeysuckle exclaimed and hurried forward to support her.

Everyone subconsciously looked towards them and saw that Hua Shu's face was covered with tear marks.

Hua Shu seemed not to see them. She looked at Empress Li Liu and cried, "My Queen, I have respected you since I entered the palace. Why did you harm my child?"

Empress Liu's face was also frighteningly ugly. She did not look at Hua Shu, but looked at Emperor Wu Ren and said, "Your Majesty, if I could not help her other concubines giving birth to children, how could there be so many children in the palace?"

"If I really wanted to harm Concubine Rou, how could I be so stupid as to let my personal maid poison her? Isn't that just courting death?"

After she finished speaking, tears fell on her face. "Your Majesty, you and I have been married for many years. Don't you know who I am? If I were a jealous person, how could I have allowed the third and fourth children to be born?"

Seeing that Emperor Wu Ren was somewhat shaken, Hua Shu sneered in her heart, but said miserably on her face: "Empress, since you tolerate the Third Prince, the Fourth Prince, the Fifth Prince, and even the Sixth Prince whose mother died early, why can't you tolerate my poor child?"

"Hua Shu, when did this palace stop being able to accommodate you?" Empress Liu looked at her with frighteningly cold eyes.

Hua Shu seemed to be too sad, and became a little outspoken: "If you can tolerate it, why did you let Aunt Zhang harm the baby in my belly? You keep saying that you have been married to the emperor for many years. When you asked someone to poison him, didn't you think that the emperor might accidentally eat it?"

After she finished speaking, she paused for a moment, and then continued, "Or, the Queen has long been thinking of poisoning the Emperor so that the Crown Prince can succeed to the throne."

When these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked. They all held their breath and looked at Hua Shu in disbelief. Was she crazy enough to dare to say such treasonous words in front of the emperor?

Empress Liu was also stunned. After she came to her senses, she angrily said, "Hua Shu, are you crazy? Do you know what you are talking about?"

Hua Shu acted as if she didn't notice everyone's gaze. She forced herself to stand up and said something that made Empress Liu's face change drastically.
