After Concubine Qi Hui and Concubine Yi came in, Empress Liu's eyes fell on Emperor Wu Ren. She saw that he was staring at Concubine Yi's face in a daze.

There was a hint of smile in her eyes. She was right in her guess. As long as Concubine Yi appeared with this face, he would fall for her again.

Concubine Fu and Concubine Li also noticed something wrong at this time. They looked in the direction Emperor Wu Ren was looking, and when they saw Concubine Yi's face, they were both stunned.

Why does this maid's face look so much like the queen...

Hua Shu also noticed that something was wrong with Emperor Wu Ren at this time. She frowned slightly and looked in the direction he was looking.

Seeing him staring at Concubine Qi Hui in a daze, a look of confusion appeared on her face.

She pretended to be in pain and shouted, "Your Majesty, my stomach hurts so much."

After hearing her voice, Emperor Wu Ren reacted, retracted his gaze and said, "Doctor Sun, please take a look at Concubine Rou."

After he finished speaking, his eyes fell on Concubine Qi Hui, and he asked in a deep voice: "Concubine Hui, I want to ask you, was it you who sent someone to assassinate Concubine Rou tonight?"

Concubine Qi Hui looked up at him in disbelief: "Your Majesty, I have just been demoted and confined to my house. How could you send someone to assassinate Concubine Rou at this critical moment?"

Chu Yunxiao also stepped forward and knelt beside her and said, "Father, this was not done by Mother. Just now, when I was leading people to search, I saw a suspicious person. I have ordered people to chase him. I believe that he will be caught soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, a guard walked in hurriedly: "Your Majesty, the man has been caught."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Wu Ren said in a deep voice: "Bring the person up."

The guard responded, walked out, and soon came back with two people who looked like eunuchs.

Looking at the two eunuchs who were escorted in, Hua Shu frowned. What happened tonight was something she had done in order to escape.

There was no such thing as an assassin. Where did these two eunuchs come from? Could it be that they were arranged by Chu Hengzhi?

But she quickly denied this idea. Chu Hengzhi was busy leaving the palace and had no time to arrange these things.

In this case, there is only one possibility, that is, these two eunuchs were arranged by the person who lured the emperor here.

But if this is true, then what is the purpose of the person behind the scenes?

For a moment, Hua Shu fell into deep thought.

After seeing the two men, Emperor Wu Ren's face darkened completely: "Who sent you to assassinate Concubine Rou?"

One of the eunuchs looked at Emperor Wu Ren coldly and said, "You are a dog emperor who kills loyal ministers. We want to kill you. This woman is just suffering for you."

When these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked, because the person they wanted to assassinate was actually the emperor.

Chu Yunxiao reacted, stood up, stepped forward and kicked the eunuch to the ground: "Who gave you the courage to speak to my father like that?"

The eunuch was kicked to the ground by him, but there was no fear on his face. Instead, he looked at Emperor Wu Ren with hatred.

"Dog Emperor, we brothers failed today, but don't be complacent. We will not let you go even if we die and become ghosts."

As he finished speaking, black blood oozed out of his mouth and his whole body began to twitch.

Seeing this, Chu Yunxiao's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly said: "They want to commit suicide, stop them quickly."

Although he and the guards moved quickly, black blood still oozed out of the other eunuch's mouth, and he twitched a few times before becoming motionless.

After one of the guards checked them, he said, "Your Highness, these two people had poison hidden in their mouths beforehand. Now the poison has taken effect and they are dead."

Chu Yunxiao's face turned extremely ugly when he heard this. He originally wanted to find out what happened today so that his father could release his mother from house arrest, but he didn't expect that these two people actually had poison in their mouths.

After hearing what the eunuch said, Hua Shu frowned even more tightly. As far as she knew, Emperor Wu Ren had not executed any ministers in recent years. Why did these two people say that he killed loyal ministers?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that what happened today was very strange. At first, someone discovered Chu Hengzhi was here and deliberately brought the emperor here.

After she pretended to be assassinated in order to escape, two eunuchs appeared and admitted the crime, even saying that the person they wanted to assassinate was the emperor.

If you think about it carefully, it seems like there is a big hand controlling all this behind the scenes.

She glanced at everyone in the room without leaving a trace. Who was the person behind this?

After hearing what the two eunuchs said, Emperor Wu Ren's face looked extremely ugly.

As an emperor, what he hated most was to hear others say that he was not a wise ruler, but these two people still came to assassinate him.

He shouted angrily: "Drag these two people away and grind them to dust!"

After that, he turned to Chu Yunxiao and said, "Third Brother, I'm going to hand this matter over to you. You must find out who is so bold as to assassinate someone in the palace."

Chu Yunxiao heard this and responded, "I obey your order."

After saying this, he walked out with the two eunuchs.

Emperor Wu Ren looked at the direction where the two eunuchs were dragged away, his heart still burning with anger.

Hua Shu could no longer hold on and fainted. She was already in unbearable pain from the fake pregnancy pills, and now with the excessive blood loss, even a body of iron could not have held on.

Imperial Concubine Fu was the first to notice that she had fainted. She stepped forward and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, Concubine Rou has fainted."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Wu Ren turned his head to look at the bedside, and saw that Hua Shu had fainted with a pale face.

"Doctor Sun, what happened to Concubine Rou?"

Doctor Sun wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Rou has lost too much blood and has had a miscarriage. She needs acupuncture and medicine as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Wu Ren said sternly, "Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and give her acupuncture."

"Yes, I will give Concubine Rou acupuncture right away." After saying this, Imperial Physician Sun asked the two imperial physicians beside him to quickly boil the medicine.

Emperor Wu Ren was extremely annoyed. When he turned around, he saw Empress Liu, Concubine Fu, Concubine Li, and Concubine Qi Hui, and his anger grew even more.

"Okay, there's nothing more for you to do, just leave."

Concubine Fu originally wanted to stay to take care of Hua Shu, but then she thought that if she stayed, she would be criticized, so she decided to go back first and visit her tomorrow.

Empress Liu had achieved her goal and had no intention of staying. She bowed to Emperor Wu Ren and left Chuxiu Palace.

But when she left, she couldn't help but look at Concubine Fu one more time. She felt that Concubine Fu's attitude towards Hua Shu was a little strange.

Concubine Fu and Concubine Li followed Empress Liu to pay their respects to Emperor Wu Ren and then left Chuxiu Palace. However, when she left, she couldn't help but look at Hua Shu a few more times, her eyes full of worry.

Concubine Qi Hui also asked them to bow and leave Chuxiu Palace, but she only glanced at Emperor Wu Ren before she left.

When she saw his eyes fall on Yunxiang (Princess Yi), the smile in her eyes deepened.

After they left, Emperor Wu Ren's eyes fell on Hua Shu again: "If anything happens to Concubine Rou, you'd better be careful with your heads."

Upon hearing this, Imperial Doctor Sun and Imperial Doctor He's hearts were in their throats. They both prayed in their hearts that Hua Shu would be able to survive the night.

At the same time, under a tree not far from Chuxiu Palace, a man dressed as a eunuch took off the human skin mask on his face, revealing an extraordinarily handsome face.

He looked in the direction of Chuxiu Palace, with an extremely seductive curve at the corner of his lips.

"Yaoyao, I helped you again. How are you going to thank me in the future?"
