"Master, it's done. It's done."

Seeing him like this, Caiyue frowned and said, "Xiao Shengzi, can you please pay attention to your image? If someone sees you, they will say that the master is not a good teacher."

Xiao Shengzi was stunned for a moment, then bowed to Hua Shu and said, "I know I am wrong, and I beg the master to punish me."

He wasn't like this before, but since he came to Hua Shu's side, she was very tolerant towards servants like them, so they all forgot the rules.

Hua Shu waved her hand and said, "Get up and tell me what you heard."

Xiao Shengzi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "After the emperor left the court today, he called the crown prince and several princes to the imperial study and said that the last assassination attempt had nothing to do with your highness, and that someone wanted to frame your highness."

Hua Shu nodded. This was all within her expectations. She couldn't help but ask, "Did the emperor say who framed the Fourth Prince?"

Xiao Shengzi nodded and said, "It is said that a eunuch was dissatisfied with His Highness, so he did these things."

Hua Shu almost laughed out loud after hearing this. If a eunuch could really do such things, the entire palace would be in turmoil.

However, she also expected that the emperor would protect the prince and the queen.

However, she was very curious whether Emperor Wu Ren would still treat the Crown Prince and the Queen the same as before after hearing what the eunuch said.

Now that Chu Hengzhi's problem has been resolved, it's time for her to deal with the issue of false pregnancy. She doesn't want to be tortured by this fake pregnancy drug all the time.

After thinking about it, she withdrew her thoughts, called Caiyue, Rendong and Xiaoshengzi to her side, and spoke a few words to them in a low voice.

After hearing this, the three of them nodded and said, "Yes, we will do it right away."

After they left, Hua Shu was the only one left in the room. She looked at herself in the mirror and a playful smile appeared at the corner of her lips.

In Caiyue's eyes, she risked her life twice to help Chu Hengzhi escape from trouble because she fell in love with him.

What about Chu Hengzhi? Does he think so too?

If he also felt that he had feelings for her, it would be a good thing for her.

Thinking of this, the smile on Hua Shu's lips deepened a little.

Chu Hengzhi, please don't let me suffer all this in vain.

……

At the same time, news that someone else was the mastermind behind the assassination of Hua Shu soon spread in the palace.

Emperor Wu Ren also went to Chonghua Palace as soon as possible. Without saying a word, he dismissed all the palace servants and left only Empress Liu.

No one knew what the two of them talked about. Half an hour later, Emperor Wu Ren left Chonghua Palace with a gloomy face.

When Nanny Zhang entered the room, she saw Empress Liu had thrown things all over the floor.

"Your Majesty, these are the things the Emperor gave you. Why did you throw them all away?" Upon seeing this, Nanny Zhang hurried forward and grabbed Empress Liu who was about to throw things.

Empress Liu threw the jade ruyi in her hand to the ground fiercely and said coldly: "Decades of friendship are gone, what do you need these things for?"

After hearing what she said, Nanny Zhang knew that the emperor must have said something to her, so she quickly comforted her, "Madam, even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about His Highness. If the news of you throwing things gets out, it will definitely make the emperor unhappy."

"Now is a time of trouble. The Emperor is also dissatisfied with the Crown Prince because of the previous incident. If any bad news comes out again, the Crown Prince's life will be even more difficult."

Empress Liu, who was originally still angry, calmed down instantly after hearing her say this.

Nanny Zhang was right, she couldn't harm Cheng'er because of herself.

Seeing that she had calmed down, Nanny Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, helped her sit down and asked, "Madam, what did the emperor say to you that made you so angry?"

Empress Liu, who had calmed down, suddenly became gloomy when she heard Zhang Ma's question.

She clenched the corner of the table tightly and said through gritted teeth, "He suspected that I was the one who poisoned Hua Shu last night, and he suspected that Cheng'er had sent someone to do the assassination."

After listening to this, Nanny Zhang frowned. She thought for a moment before saying, "Your Majesty, have you ever thought that even though the Emperor favors Concubine Shu and several new concubines, he still respects and cherishes you, and comes to your palace at least twice a month."

"But since Concubine Rou entered the palace, the Emperor was first dissatisfied with you because of Concubine Shu's fake pregnancy, and then because of Concubine Yi and Concubine Hui's counter-attacks by Concubine Rou. Now, Concubine Rou was assassinated and poisoned. The more I think about it, the more I feel that she is coming for you."

After hearing what she said, Empress Liu's eyes turned cold. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this was what Nanny Zhang said.

But the reason Hua Shu entered the palace in the first place was to help the prince get rid of those who were in the way.

She still hasn't figured out why she became Chu Hengzhi's person.

Now hearing what Nanny Zhang said, she had a feeling that Hua Shu had been Chu Hengzhi's person from the very beginning, and even Hua Huaiyuan and Hua Jingxuan didn't know it.

Thinking of this, Empress Liu's face turned completely gloomy. She was actually schemed against by a little girl.

Seeing her face getting uglier and uglier, Nanny Zhang sighed and said, "Your Majesty, I think the most important thing right now is to find a way to get rid of Concubine Rou. We must not let her give birth to an heir for the Emperor."

Hearing the word "royal heir", Empress Liu's eyes flashed with sneer: "She has been fed so many sterilizing drugs, how could she possibly have a royal heir?"

Nanny Zhang shook her head slightly and said, "Your Majesty, we know that Concubine Rou was given a sterilizing drug, but the Emperor doesn't know. Even if the Emperor knew, so many eunuchs in the palace have examined her pulse and all said that she is pregnant."

At this point, Nanny Zhang paused and lowered her voice and said, "Your Majesty, it's not uncommon for fake pregnancies to become real pregnancies in the palace. We can't take it lightly."

After these words were spoken, Empress Liu tightened her grip in her sleeves a little. Indeed, such a thing had happened before.

Hua Shu is already in favor now. If she really gives birth to a prince, wouldn't she be able to climb over his head?

Thinking of this, Empress Liu narrowed her eyes dangerously, and she said coldly: "Madam Zhang, have someone call Qiuxue over to me."

Nanny Zhang had been with her for many years and understood what she meant instantly. She responded and left.

After Nanny Zhang left, Empress Liu looked at the broken jade ruyi on the ground with a frighteningly cold look in her eyes.

……

In the evening, Emperor Wu Ren went to Chuxiu Palace and saw Hua Shu sleeping soundly, so he did not make a sound to disturb her.

After asking Rendong and the others to serve him well, he took his people to Lanyuexuan next door.

As soon as he left, Hua Shu on the bed opened her eyes. The emperor's favor was indeed like a passing cloud. Fortunately, she had never cared about it.

She asked Caiyue to blow out the candle and go downstairs to rest, and the door was closed.

A figure appeared in the room, and a sword was placed on Hua Shu's neck.

A cold and unfamiliar male voice sounded in her ears: "Don't make a sound if you don't want to die."
