The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple

Lu'e didn't know how she got back to Fanghua Palace. After she returned, Empress Xian saw that she looked not well, so she asked her what had happened.

Lu'e told Empress Xian everything she had heard tonight. Empress Xian was silent for a long time after listening to her. She guessed that someone had done something, but she didn't expect that this person would be the prince!

Lu'e wiped her tears and said, "The Queen said, I thought some people in the palace used some despicable means to win favor, but I never thought it would be the Crown Prince. Why would he do this to me? I haven't even seen him much."

Xiao Mubei clenched his fists. He had never expected that. He had always thought that his mother was too favored, so she caused dissatisfaction among the women in the harem. But why did the prince become the queen?

Lu'e continued to talk, and Concubine Xian did not sleep all night. The next day, she told her not to make it public. After all, the Crown Prince was the heir to the throne, and above him was the Queen. These were the people who could shake the foundation of the country if they moved, and they were cruel. She now had the Eighth Prince, and she could not take risks easily and put the Eighth Prince in danger!

But even if they did not move, the other party obviously did not intend to let the Eighth Prince go. After much deliberation, Empress Xian decided to leave the palace.

She thought very clearly that with her status, she could not shake the position of the queen. The queen had no reason to deal with her and let the prince take action. This matter was most likely related to the eighth prince and was a power struggle.

But the Eighth Prince is still so young and cannot threaten the position of the Crown Prince. Why did the Crown Prince leave his brothers alone and choose to touch Xiao Mubei first?

Concubine Xian couldn't figure it out, but she knew that since the prince had taken action, no matter what the reason was, he would never give up easily. The only way now was for them and their son to leave, especially Xiao Mubei, who had to stay away from the capital, the center of the power struggle!

After hearing this, Xiao Mubei finally understood why his mother encouraged him to join the Langya Army and keep him away from the capital and the court. He used to think that his mother let him go because of his pleading, but now he realized that his mother had wanted him to leave a long time ago.

Let him go to protect him!

Concubine Xian begged Emperor Sui Ming, saying that she had been in poor health for so many years in the palace and might be unable to adapt to the climate and environment there. She hoped to leave the palace and recuperate in a villa outside Beijing and come back when she felt better. Emperor Sui Ming could not persuade her. Although he was reluctant, he finally gritted his teeth and gave in when he saw that her health was getting worse day by day.

Concubine Xian did not bring any maids with her, only Qingxi, whom she brought from outside the palace. She told the outside world that she did not bring anyone with her when she entered the palace, and naturally she could not take anyone with her when she left the palace. She begged Emperor Sui Ming to properly place the people in her palace.

But in fact, she gave Lu'e a difficult task!

Lu'e had been with Concubine Xian for sixteen years, and they had long been the most trusted person. Concubine Xian pulled her to sit beside the bed, held her hand and said, "Lu'e, I can't forgive Keren. It doesn't matter if she poisoned me, but she still wants to attack the Eighth Prince. I can't bear it. I want you to stay in the palace and get rid of her, and deal with the Prince's people on her behalf. If the Prince still wants to attack the Eighth Prince, I will die with him even if it means risking my own life."

When saying this, Concubine Xian's eyes were full of hatred. The prince had ruined her life, and it would be a lie to say she didn't hate him.

Lu'e was also full of hatred. If it weren't for the prince and Keren, she could still live a carefree life with the queen in the Fanghua Palace. The queen was such a good person, she just wanted to live a quiet life, and she didn't provoke anyone!

But the next moment, Concubine Xian's eyes turned to guilt, "It's just that I have to wrong you. I know that I am selfish to do this, but Lu'e, I have no one else I can trust. I don't know how long I can live. If I die, you must live. You must wait for Xiaobei to grow up, find a way to see him, and tell him that mother loves him, and it is mother who is sorry that I can't accompany him to grow up. Also, don't take revenge easily. If you have enough ability, then take action, and don't leave any room for others."

After hearing what Lu'e said, Xiao Mubei was so shocked that he couldn't describe it in words. It turned out that his mother was not stopping him from taking revenge, she was buying him time to grow!

Lu'e had said so much and was a little exhausted due to the excitement. Chu Yunxi asked her to sit down, poured her a glass of water, asked her to drink it to moisten her throat, and gave her a bottle of glucose to drink to replenish her energy and let her take a rest before continuing.

After Lu'e finished drinking, she took a breath, wiped the remaining tears on her face with her sleeve, and said, "After the queen left the palace, she contacted her friends in the martial arts world and found a way to enter the palace to teach me the art of disguise so that I could better protect myself in the palace. I have been trying to follow Keren and gradually understood how she contacted the prince's people. Not long after the queen left the palace, the prince's people came and scolded her severely, saying that she was incompetent and let Concubine Xian notice it. Keren argued that the queen had no idea and wanted to leave the palace because she couldn't be cured in the palace. The man snorted coldly at the time and said that if she was not still useful, he would never let her live, and asked her to stay here honestly recently and come to her when she was needed."

Keren had feelings for that man, but she didn't expect that he was just using her. She was sitting there dejectedly, and she didn't move for a long time after that man left. Lu'e thought this was a great opportunity, so she found a big rock, walked quietly behind Keren, raised the rock and smashed it down hard!

It was not until Keren had no breath left that Lu'e dug a hole nearby at night and buried Keren under the camellia. As a woman, she was terribly scared when she did this. Fortunately, it was late at night and the place was remote, so no one discovered her.

On the second day, Lu'e disguised herself as Keren and lived in the palace in her place. Lu'e became the missing person. During this time, the prince's people came to see her twice. Once, they told her the news of Concubine Xian's death, and the other time was a few days ago, when they told her that Xiao Mubei would come to the palace frequently recently and asked her to find a way to get close to him!

After the story was told, Lu'e's tears were still flowing. She cried and said, "How could the queen be poisoned so deeply? There is no way to cure it even after leaving the palace. I thought that those capable people she knew in the martial arts world would definitely be able to save her, but who knew..."

Xiao Mubei gritted his teeth and said, "Mother is not poisoned, but has been poisoned."

"What? Gu..."

Lu'e was stunned. It took her a long while to come back to her senses. She burst into tears. "I was wrong. I was wrong. When I heard Keren say it was planted, I thought she was talking about poisoning. If I knew it was a Gu and told the queen, the queen would definitely find someone to remove the Gu, and the queen would not have died. It's all my fault. I killed the queen..."
