This Concubine Li actually dared to pretend to be pitiful in front of him. She really doesn't know her place.
If it weren't for cooperating with his wife, Concubine Li would have been beheaded long ago.
He suppressed his anger.
"Princess Li, how do you explain this pot of wine?" Xiao Mohan had already lost his patience and asked in a cold tone.
"Your Majesty, I really don't know! This pot of wine was already on the table, and I just picked it up. I don't even know what poisoned wine is!" Lu Yuxuan answered in horror, her voice trembling.
"Why? Was this pot of wine brought by Concubine Li?"
"Where does she get such courage? Tsk tsk tsk tsk..."
Everyone was quietly clamoring...
"It was my maid, it was her. She was the one who followed me with the wine jug. She must be trying to frame me." At this time, Lu Yuxuan had already lost her soul and collapsed to the ground.
Prime Minister Lu's family members could no longer sit still and came forward to plead for Lipin, trying to prove that Lipin was innocent.
Xiao Mohan looked at them coldly.
"Your Majesty, please investigate this. This must be a frame-up."
Lu Yuxuan refused to plead guilty and insisted that she was framed by others.
But she didn't know that Caixia had already confessed it.
"idiot!"
Prime Minister Lu cursed inwardly in frustration.
He really had no other choice but to resort to this last resort.
That day, the palace received a note from the King of Qi that had shot an arrow into a tree. It was a naked threat.
He was told that he must obey orders, otherwise the King of Qi would pack up the letters between them and send them to the emperor.
He was really scared. He really had no choice!
The King of Qi ordered him to kill the Queen Mother first, and he would make his own arrangements for the Queen.
He clearly warned Lu Yuxuan in the letter to be more obedient and not to attack Su Yuer.
There must be something wrong with Lu Yuxuan's brain. She not only refused to listen to him but also dared to attack Su Yuer.
It would be fine if you just hit him, but you killed him!
Unexpectedly, Lu Yuxuan not only failed, but was also caught on the spot.
Stupid, so stupid.
Before long, De'an had taken control of everyone in Lipin's palace. After interrogation, it was confirmed that Lipin had indeed poisoned her, and Caixia, the maid who poured the wine, also admitted that she had been instructed by Lipin.
At this time, Lu Yuxuan was no longer afraid. She looked at De'an with anger and cursed: "De'an, you are a dog, a rootless eunuch! How dare you slander me?"
De'an glared at Lu Yuxuan, a hint of viciousness flashing in his eyes. It was obvious that her words just now touched the most sensitive part of his heart.
Su Yu'er and Xiao Mohan looked at each other. They both understood in their hearts that they had to make sure all the problems were solved at once so as to kill three birds with one stone.
At this moment, Xiao Mohan said: "Now that the matter has been investigated clearly, I, considering Prime Minister Lu's long-standing contributions to the Jinsheng Dynasty, have decided to give him a lighter sentence.
Concubine Li attempted to murder the Empress, a crime unforgivable. She is now banished to the cold palace and imprisoned for life. Prime Minister Lu failed to raise his daughter properly and deserves punishment. I have decided to strip him of his official position for two years, fine him one year's salary, and demote him to the third rank."
Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Lu and his family knelt down to express their gratitude for the emperor's great kindness. However, their hearts were filled with resentment and unwillingness.
They were once a first-class Duke's Mansion! Now they were downgraded to a third-class Duke's Mansion. This was a huge loss!
But as the saying goes, "As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood."
As long as the King of Qi can successfully ascend the throne, then he - Lu Zhenyuan will become the one who is second only to the emperor and above everyone else.
Thinking of this, Prime Minister Lu was no longer afraid.
This palace banquet finally came to an end with the death of Concubine Zhan.
Xiao Mohan and Su Yuer left Xueyang Palace together.
After returning to Fengluan Palace, Su Yuer instructed Rubing to deal with the matter of Concubine Zhan's funeral hall.
They returned to the inner hall. Xiao Mohan looked at Su Yu'er with a frown on his face. "Madam, are you still thinking about the poisoning incident today?"
"I heard from Caixia that Concubine Li was planning to poison the queen mother. But halfway through, the situation changed and she turned to me. It shows that she is deeply in love with her husband and hates me to the core!" Su Yuer teased.
When Xiao Mohan heard this, he stretched out his hand towards Su Yuer. Su Yuer pouted, raised her hand and placed it in Xiao Mohan's palm.
Xiao Mohan wrapped her jade hands in his two hands. He looked at her affectionately and said softly, "Madam, are you jealous?
Su Yu'er pouted and asked, "Husband, so you don't want me to be jealous?"
Xiao Mohan gently scratched her nose with his finger, "Silly girl, you are mine, and I am yours. Jealousy is the touchstone of emotion. Once you test it, you will know how much your husband means to you."
Su Yuer leaned close to him and gave him a light kiss on his angular lips.
"I am willing to be jealous, but I can't be jealous all the time. What if I become jealous to death?" Su Yuer smiled softly and responded seriously.
"Madam! I am jealous too!"
The two people smiled at each other.
"Madam, An Shi has found King Qi's private army. It is on Pingfeng Mountain near Wuguang City. The current number of troops is more than 50,000." Xiao Mohan said seriously.
"So many?" Su Yu'er stared at Xiao Mohan in surprise and asked, "Then my husband, what do you want to do?"
A cold look flashed across Xiao Mohan's eyes, "I want to go to Xiaoyue City and explore Prince Xiao's Mansion at night."
"My husband and I will go together. I need to take care of Mr. Zhan's affairs tonight."
Then, Su Yuer told the story of Concubine Zhan’s fake death, her relationship with Su Mingli, and how she was sent to Hanyu Academy.
"Su Mingli is an outstanding general. At the time, I couldn't understand why such an outstanding general like Su Mingli was willing to give up his generalship and return to the capital. So that's how it is!
Many families, for the sake of family honor, would rather sacrifice their children's happiness to achieve their own goals. Alas! It's really not worth it!
Then the two of them discussed for a while, lay quietly on the bed, waiting for the night to fall.
As night falls, the sky is dotted with stars and the moonlight is like water.
A figure flew out of Fengluan Palace and disappeared into the night in an instant.
Xianyin Palace
Su Yu'er strolled to the front of the mourning hall. Inside, a coffin decorated with carved jade and a coffin chamber made of zizyphus wood were placed, highlighting the nobility of the royal family. At this moment, Zhan Qianrui lay in it.
The mourning hall is deserted, with smoke curling in the air to remember the deceased.
Su Yuer came to the coffin and waved her sleeves lightly, and the coffin opened automatically.
She gazed at the graceful and charming Zhan Qianrui lying in the coffin. At this moment, she was like a newly blooming lotus, fresh and unworldly, and untainted by dust.
Then, she took out a bottle of marrow-cleansing spiritual liquid and dripped it into Zhan Qianrui's mouth without hesitation.
Not long after, with the resurrection effect of the marrow cleansing liquid, Zhan Qianrui slowly opened her eyes.
She looked around and found herself in a coffin filled with gold, silver and jewelry.
She couldn't help but sigh.
From this moment on, there is no longer any such person as Zhan Qianrui in this world.
Zhan Qianrui slowly got up from the coffin, and when she saw Su Yuer, she immediately walked out of the coffin.
Zhan Qianrui quickly walked to Su Yuer. She knelt down and bowed deeply, "Thank you, Queen, for giving me a new life."
Su Yu'er said softly, "Get up! This is your choice. I am only following your request."
Zhan Qianrui had just stood up when Su Mingli, dressed in black, walked in quickly.
When he saw Zhan Qianrui, his heart finally settled down.
Zhan Qianrui looked at Su Mingli, tears in her eyes, and said excitedly: "Mingli, I am finally free."
"Yes, Qianrui!" Su Mingli stepped forward, grabbed her hand, and responded excitedly.
At this moment, all emotions were concentrated between the two of them, and no words were needed.
At this moment, Ru Bing hurried to Su Yu'er and reported to her, "Your Majesty, based on Concubine Zhan's figure, this servant has found a corpse similar to Concubine Zhan's, and has disguised it to look like Concubine Zhan."
Su Yu'er nodded in satisfaction, then said to Su Mingli and Zhan Qianrui, "Brother, sister-in-law, why don't you burn the fake corpse to prevent Madam Zhan from finding out?"
"Okay! I'll make the arrangements, sister!"
Then, Su Yu'er looked at Su Mingli and said, "Second brother, you should go to Hanyu Academy immediately. I have already made all the arrangements there.
"Second brother and sister-in-law, you must practice diligently when you go there. As long as you meet my requirements within two years, I will take you away."
After hearing this, Su Mingli was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes. He quickly clasped his fists and bowed: "Sister! I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. I will definitely not let you down."
Su Yuer smiled and nodded.
"That's good. You'd better leave the capital under the cover of night to avoid being discovered. Second brother, second sister-in-law, I wish you a safe journey." Su Yu'er advised with concern.
"Yes!" Then, Su Mingli put his arms around Zhan Qianrui's waist, tapped the ground with his toes, flew up, quickly left Xianyin Palace, and disappeared into the night.
"I didn't expect that my second brother has such advanced skills!" Su Yu'er said to herself with emotion.
Then, she turned her head to look at Zhan Qianrui's mourning hall, then turned around and walked out of Xianyin Palace.
She waved her hand gently, and a wisp of black flame flew out, landing precisely on the coffin. In the blink of an eye, the flames blazed fiercely, engulfing the entire mourning hall. A moment later, the hall was reduced to ash.
Su Yu'er silently watched everything before her, sighing inwardly. Then, she turned and left, her figure gradually blending into the darkness.
When I returned to Fengluan Palace, Xiao Mohan was already waiting.
"Let's go! We've finished handling the matter. They've already left the palace and are probably on their way to Hanyu Academy now."
"Okay!" Xiao Mohan put his hand on Su Yuer's waist and disappeared in a flash.
The maids and eunuchs in Xianyin Palace saw that the mourning hall of Concubine Zhan had caught fire. When they rushed to put out the fire with basins of water and brooms, the room had already turned to ashes, without even a corpse.
The eunuch in charge of Xianyin Palace came to Fengluan Palace to report the fire, and Rubing went to Xianyin Palace to deal with the matter.
When Rubing arrived at Xianyin Palace and looked at the ruins before her, she turned her head and looked at the eunuch steward beside her. "What on earth is going on? How could a fire break out in the mourning hall? Where is the body of Concubine Zhan?"
The eunuch chief was so frightened that he fell to his knees. "Slave, slave, I don't know either! When the servants heard the noise and rushed over, the mourning hall was already burned like this. There was nothing left inside..."
