Deep Palace Pet Peach Blossom Flawless

Furthermore, Concubine Yi had made it clear that Concubine Li had deliberately orchestrated this, pretending to be pitiful and framing someone. She hadn't expected Concubine Yi to act out of character and force her to kneel for two hours. Furthermore, the Emperor had already issued a clear decree.

Concubine Jiang said, "Then the matter is clear. It was Lady Li who brought this upon herself by vying for favor. She deserves it. Lady Yi..."

"Sister Jiang Fei," Wan Fei interrupted, "We have to listen to what Lady Li has to say. No matter what, Lady Yi has overstepped her bounds and cannot be let off lightly."

Concubine Jiang said slightly coldly, "His Majesty has already made a decision on this matter. Lady Li will receive the decree soon. Lady Yi has done nothing wrong."

Who dares to go against the emperor's will? Concubine Wan closed her mouth unwillingly. Concubine Chen looked at the palace and said nothing more.

Liangpin called out to Lan Qingwu at the gate of De'an Palace. She walked towards him with a smile on her face and said, "It's been a long time since we've had such an interesting person in the palace. I can eat two more bowls of rice just to listen to you talk."

Lan Qingwu: “…”

Liangpin said again: "Come and play with me when you have time." After that, she left gracefully.

Lan Qingwu turned around and left. Did he think he was a dish to go with the meal?

Spring was gradually approaching. One day, Ruping had collected another batch of palace dresses from the Imperial Household Department. As she was about to put them in her trunk, she suddenly smelled an unusual fragrance. It was so faint that if she hadn't been so sensitive, she would have missed it. Frowning in thought, she packed up the entire shipment.

After much deliberation, Ru Ping decided to tell Li Xiang about this matter and let the emperor solve it. The master's clothes all came from the same place as the emperor's, and the clothes from the Ministry of Internal Affairs had never been worn by the master. However, the six palaces did not know about it.

After hearing this, Li Xiang couldn't help but look serious, "Miss Ruping, this matter still needs to be reported to His Majesty."

Ruping nodded.

In the Qianzheng Hall, Emperor Shenwu heard what Li Xiang said and his expression was icy: "Where are the clothes?"

Li Xiang replied, "Ru Ping has brought all the spring clothes from the Imperial Household Department. I'll bring them in right away."

Emperor Shenwu said, "Summon Nie Wushuang again."

Li Xiang took the order and left.

Nie Wushuang picked up a piece of palace dress and smelled it first, then signaled Li Xiang to bring a basin of clean water. He cut off a piece of cloth with scissors and soaked it in the clean water. After waiting for a while, he dipped a little water with his finger and put it to the tip of his tongue to taste it. After he knew what he was doing, he spit the water in his mouth onto the water handkerchief.

Finally, he reported to Emperor Shenwu: "Your Majesty, if I am not mistaken, someone crushed the seeds of the Datura flower, soaked them for a long time, and then placed these clothes in the soaked water. If anyone wears these clothes for a long time, they will suffer from drowsiness and convulsions at best, and coma and death at worst."

"The entire Datura plant is poisonous, but the seeds are the most toxic, yet have the lightest fragrance. Ingestion will cause the poison to set in soon. Skin contact, however, will cause the poison to set in slowly but be difficult to detect. Furthermore, the skin must be protected from damage, as this will allow the poison to enter the body through the wound, making it difficult to prevent."

The Emperor's face was as cold as frost. This man was scheming and sinister. If Ru Ping hadn't been trained in this kind of thing, how could she have noticed? Although the clothes couldn't fit Ru Ruo, what if it did? He didn't even dare to think about it. A dragon has a reverse scale; touching it will lead to death!

Emperor Shenwu ordered Nie Wushuang to withdraw. "Li Xiang, ask Deputy Chief Eunuch Li Zhong to investigate this matter. Secretly investigate the Embroidery Workshop, the Clothing Bureau, and the Imperial Household Department. Don't let any clues go unnoticed!"

In the evening, Emperor Shenwu summoned Lan Qingwu to sleep with him in Qianzheng Hall.

Emperor Shenwu asked her about her medicinal diet: "Have you not been eating herbal diet properly recently?"

Lan Qingwu hurriedly hugged his waist tightly: "There is food, but now there is so much food to eat that I eat less. But I still eat every day."

Seeing her dishonest look, Emperor Shenwu bit her lips and pressed down hard...

Lan Qingwu's eyes were red at last. Emperor Shenwu stroked her smooth body and coaxed her, "Tomorrow I will take you to a special restaurant, the Spring Breeze Restaurant."

Lan Qingwu thought to himself that the name sounded unusual.

The next day, Emperor Shenwu brought Lan Qingwu out of the palace and to the Chunfeng Restaurant. This time, Li Xiang and Ruping were there to serve them, and as usual, Qian Hui was there for protection. The Chunfeng Restaurant was indeed unique, with a stage in the center of the hall, perfect for dancing, singing, storytelling...

The dishes were also unique, featuring a variety of seafood ingredients: fish, prawns, sea cucumbers, abalone, and more. Lan Qingwu wanted to try crab, but the Emperor Shenwu disallowed it, stating that crabs were cold. In the end, Lan Qingwu used fish and shrimp, along with a delicious seafood porridge.

Afterwards, Emperor Shenwu rode on Chengfeng and took her to the bustling market. The dazzling array of goods was overwhelming. They walked hand in hand through the streets. When they came out, several guards behind them were carrying things in their hands.

When they arrived at the street, Emperor Shenwu carried Lan Qingwu onto his horse, but noticed that Lan Qingwu's attention was attracted by a stall not far away. He took a look and found that the stall was full of couple rings.

Emperor Shenwu whispered in her ear: "Stay here for a while." Then he jumped off the horse.

"Stay here and look after your wife." Emperor Shenwu instructed Qian Hui.

Qian Hui only felt relieved to watch over Lan Qingwu after he saw the emperor go to a stall not far away.

Lan Qingwu was staring blankly at Emperor Shenwu looking at the wedding rings on the stall. When Chengfeng was startled and raised his front hoof, she had no idea what was happening.

Chengfeng raised his front hooves high and neighed in fear. Qian Hui was in a panic for a moment. The key point was that he couldn't jump on the horse to comfort it. The master was on the horse, who could jump on the horse's back to comfort him?

Lan Qingwu felt like she was about to fall off her horse. She couldn't help but exclaim, "Brother Heng?"

Emperor Shenwu noticed the change here almost instantly. He flashed over and then jumped up, instantly jumping onto the horse's back. He used his absolute suppressing power to instantly balance the horse's back. Chengfeng was also a veteran. After his front hooves landed on the ground, he felt the master's tough suppression and comfort, and immediately became quiet and obedient.

Lan Qingwu leaned in the arms of Emperor Shenwu, still in shock. Emperor Shenwu lifted her face to look at her expression.

Lan Qingwu hurriedly said, "My husband, I'm fine. I know you are here."

Emperor Shenwu just hugged her to comfort her.

Qian Hui knelt down and said, "It was my fault. A few stones hit Chengfeng, startling him and frightening the lady. I was unable to block the stones in time."

The streets are full of mixed crowds, and it is too late to find out who hit Chengfeng. Was it intentional or unintentional?

Emperor Shenwu looked around but didn't see anything. Many people had come to watch what had just happened. He frowned and said, "Get up."

He added, "Ruoruo, let's go." After all, there were too many people outside the palace.

Lan Qingwu nodded. The Shenwu Emperor turned his horse around and prepared to leave when someone stopped Chengfeng again, or rather, stopped both the Shenwu Emperor and Lan Qingwu.

She was a frail and delicate woman who looked very pitiful.
