Once these words were spoken, they undoubtedly caused a huge uproar.

After hearing this, Emperor Wu Ren associated Hua Shu's assassination with the events of Chu Yunxiao and Master Qi entering the palace.

How could it be such a coincidence that they entered the palace at this time, and Hua Shu was assassinated just as he left Chuxiu Palace.

Just as he was thinking, the eyelashes of the girl on the bed trembled slightly.

Doctor He called out quickly, "Your Majesty, Concubine Rou is awake."

Emperor Wu Ren collected his thoughts, stepped forward and said, "Princess Rou, how do you feel?"

When Hua Shu saw Emperor Wu Ren, tears started to fall like pearls from a broken string. She said weakly, "Your Majesty, please save my child."

Emperor Wu Ren stepped forward and held her hand distressedly, saying, "Don't worry, I will definitely let them keep the baby in your belly."

After saying that, he turned his head to look at Doctor Sun and said, "How is the heir in Concubine Rou's belly?"

Doctor Sun took out a silver needle to stop Hua Shu's bleeding and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Rou is blessed with a long life. The heir in her belly is fine. It's just that she has lost too much blood from her wound. She needs to be treated as soon as possible and take medicine to preserve the fetus. Otherwise, not only the dragon fetus, but also Concubine Rou will be in danger."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Wu Ren asked him to treat Hua Shu's wound quickly and asked someone to boil medicine to stabilize the pregnancy.

Hua Shu seemed to suddenly think of something. She held Emperor Wu Ren's hand and said pitifully, "Your Majesty, Caiyue, Rendong, and Xiao Shengzi risked their lives to protect their master. Please ask the imperial physician to save them."

Emperor Wu Ren saw that her wound was bleeding as she got excited, so he quickly comforted her and said, "Okay, I'll let the imperial physician take a look at them."

After he finished speaking, he ordered the other imperial doctors to treat Caiyue, Rendong, Xiao Shengzi and others.

When Concubine Fu heard what Imperial Physician Sun said, her heart was in her throat. She had just found out she was pregnant and she was assassinated. What would she do in the future?

There was a flash of coldness in the eyes of Empress Liu and Concubine Li. Empress Liu was now even more certain that Hua Shu's pregnancy was fake.

Concubine Li Shu felt that Hua Shu was so badly injured, but she didn't lose the baby. She was really lucky.

Empress Liu collected her thoughts and stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, who is so bold as to assassinate someone in the palace?"

Emperor Wu Ren glanced at her and said in a deep voice, "I have asked the third son to investigate. I believe there will be results soon."

Hearing him say this, Empress Liu nodded and said nothing more, but her eyes fell on Hua Shu.

Looking at her pale face and the blood at the corner of her mouth, Empress Liu couldn't help but begin to wonder who sent someone to assassinate her. She subconsciously glanced at Concubine Li.

Concubine Li Shu did not notice her gaze. She thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I have some suspicion that what happened tonight is related to Concubine Hui. After all..."

Before she could finish her words, Emperor Wu Ren glanced at her, scaring her so much that she immediately shut her mouth.

Empress Liu suddenly thought of something and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Your Majesty, I think what Shupin said makes some sense. Of course, I don't doubt Huipin, but I think I can call her over to ask her."

Emperor Wu Ren looked at her deeply, and then said, "He Zhong, go and call Huipin over. I have something to ask her."

"Yes." He Zhong responded and retreated.

For a moment, no one spoke in the room except for Hua Shu's occasional gasps.

……

Here.

Concubine Qi Hui had not rested since she heard the news that her father had entered the palace. She thought that with her father's pleading for her, the emperor would come to see her.

However, he never expected that Emperor Wu Ren did not come, but He Zhong came.

He Zhong bowed to her and said, "Madam Huipin, the emperor asked me to invite you over."

Concubine Qi Hui frowned and asked, "Did the emperor say anything?"

He Zhong did not hide anything and told the story of Hua Shu's assassination.

After hearing this, Concubine Qi Hui stood up from her stool and asked, "Your Majesty, do you suspect that I sent someone to assassinate Concubine Rou?"

He Zhong lowered his head and said, "The emperor did not say that, he just asked me to invite you over."

Didn't say that?

Concubine Qi Hui clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves. The emperor had asked him to invite her over, so what difference did it make whether she said it or not?

He Zhong saw that she didn't speak for a long time and didn't want to go with him, so he couldn't help but remind her: "Your Majesty, please hurry up and follow me. If you are late, the emperor will be angry."

Concubine Qi Hui didn't say anything. After thinking it over, she decided to take Yunxiang with her.

Although she shouldn't have appeared in front of the emperor so early, she couldn't care less about that given the current situation.

She has now been demoted and confined here, and she absolutely cannot be charged with the crime of sending someone to assassinate her.

What's more, Hua Shu is now pregnant, and the crime of murdering the royal heir is a serious one.

After thinking about it, she asked Nanny Wang to call Yunxiang to go to Chuxiu Palace with her.

When He Zhong saw Concubine Yi wearing a human skin mask, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he just lowered his head and said nothing.

There was no conversation along the way. When Concubine Qi Hui and her group were about to reach Chuxiu Palace, they ran into Chu Yunxiao.

Seeing his mother appear here, Chu Yunxiao couldn't help but frown and quickly stepped forward to ask: "Mother, why are you here?"

Concubine Qi Hui glanced at He Zhong and said in a deep voice, "It was your father who asked Eunuch He to call me over."

Chu Yunxiao's face darkened when he heard this. His father had asked someone to call his mother over. Could it be that he suspected that his mother was the one who carried out the assassination tonight?

But soon, his eyes fell on Concubine Yi who was standing next to Concubine Qi Hui.

Looking at the face that resembled Empress Liu, he frowned and asked, "Mother, why did you bring her here?"

He knew that there was someone similar to Empress Liu around Concubine Qi Hui, but he didn't expect them to be so similar.

However, he has not yet found out the details of this person, and it would be too risky for his mother to bring her here now.

Concubine Qi Hui glanced at He Zhong, pulled him aside and whispered something to him.

After Chu Yunxiao heard this, he frowned even more tightly. He lowered his voice and said, "Mother, I still think it's too early to bring her to Father now. After all, we haven't found out her background yet."

Concubine Qi Hui knew what he was worried about, but she had no choice now.

"Xiao'er, you should know that your father asked me to come here because he suspected that I was responsible for the assassination tonight. If I don't make plans in advance, and the crime is pinned on me, we will be completely finished."

Chu Yunxiao fell silent after hearing this. He knew that what his mother said was true.

Concubine Qi Hui sighed softly and said, "Let's go. Don't keep your father waiting too long."

After she finished speaking, Concubine Qi Hui turned around and walked towards Chuxiu Palace. Seeing this, Chu Yunxiao followed her in.

As soon as they entered, everyone's eyes fell on Concubine Qi Hui.

Concubine Qi Hui stepped forward and bowed to Emperor Wu Ren in a dignified manner: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."

Emperor Wu Ren had a cold face and was about to say something, but when he saw Concubine Yi (Yunxiang), who looked somewhat like Empress Liu, kneeling behind him, he was stunned.
