Chapter 473
Zhong Jieyu sat facing the lonely lamp, completely motionless, as if in a daze.

Yushu came over, put down a cup of jujube seed tea soup to soothe the nerves, and softly persuaded: "Your Majesty, drink this, you haven't closed your eyes for several days."

Zhong Jieyu looked haggard, with heavy bruises under her eyes.

Now she is like a weak willow that has been injured at the root. Although no scars can be seen on the outside, the inside has been completely damaged, and all that is left is slowly withering.

"Take it down!" Zhong Jieyu glanced at the bowl of calming tea, smiled wryly and shook her head, "It's useless to drink it."

How could she possibly sleep?She can't even close her eyes now, the murderer who killed her son hasn't pleaded guilty, she can't sleep!

"But ma'am, you can't hold on without eating or sleeping like this!" Yu Shu looked anxious, "This servant is really dying of anxiety."

Yushu couldn't help crying after talking about it, and she could see that she was really anxious.

Zhong Jieyu's already cold heart couldn't help trembling slightly, she sighed and said: "Don't cry, can't I drink it?"

As soon as she picked up the bowl to drink, the eunuch said loudly outside: "The emperor has a decree! Xuan Zhong Jieyu hurry to Xiangfu Palace!"

Zhong Jieyu knew that announcing her to the Queen's Palace at this time must be the conclusion of the matter.

I just don't know if the emperor will blindly favor Cen Yunchu this time?

When they arrived at the empress's palace, they found that apart from the empress and Cen Yunchu, the other concubines were also there, and all the people who were in charge of investigating the cause of the four princes' poisoning also came.

Zhong Jieyu came in and saluted blankly.

The emperor said in a gentle tone: "Let's get down! Give me a seat."

"Your Majesty," Zhong Jieyu asked directly without sitting down, "How are you going to deal with Chong'er? If there is any injustice, the concubine will not be alive today!"

"Zhong Jieyu, don't be rude!" The queen said, "You are losing the rules now, the fourth prince is your son, isn't he your Majesty's flesh and blood?! If you are so rude, the palace will use the palace rules. I've come to punish you, don't take it upon yourself."

Zhong Jieyu lowered her head and remained silent.

"It was late at night, and I called all of you here so that this matter would happen sooner rather than later. It was also for the sake of justice that I asked you all to be witnesses.

Bai Fu is in charge of investigating this matter, let him talk about the rest. "The emperor was not angry because of Zhong Jieyu's attitude, his tone was unusually calm, so calm that it made one's heart chill.

Bai Fu stepped forward and saluted everyone before he spoke: "Your majesty, empress, ladies and gentlemen, in order not to startle the snake, although the servants have already found out a few people, they didn't startle them.

Now, in front of all the masters, let me explain the ins and outs of the matter clearly. "

Everyone has also discovered that the inside and outside of Fuxiang Palace have been surrounded by guards, and the atmosphere is very dignified.

"Is the Yushu girl in Zhong Niangniang's palace here? Please step forward." Bai Fu's tone was very polite.

Yushu came out from behind Zhong Jieyu, and everyone was not surprised. She is the first-class court lady in front of Zhong Jieyu, and some things can only be clarified by asking her.

"Miss Yushu, you have been keeping the three pills of Suqing pills given by Madam Cen?" Bai Fu asked.

"It's me." Yushu nodded.

"You were also in front of the Fourth Prince when he took it, right?" Bai Fu continued to ask.

"Not only I am here, but our empress and the fourth prince's nanny are also in front of me." Yushu said.

"In other words, this Su Qing Dan has not left your eyes from the beginning to the end, right?" Bai Fu deliberately emphasized this point.

Yu Shu hesitated for a moment, but still nodded: "You can also say that."

She was obviously a little disturbed at this time, but she didn't explain much.

"Miss Yushu, I heard that you had an affair with a certain father-in-law in this palace," Bai Fu continued to ask kindly, "Is this the case?"

When Yushu heard it, his face turned red first, then turned pale again.

Since ancient times, there have been maids and eunuchs talking to Shi Yi in the deep palace.

But the palace rules also clearly stated that it is forbidden to eat food without permission, unless the emperor or queen gives permission, this is considered a clear path.

Yushu obviously did not get permission.

"Miss Yushu, you haven't answered what I asked you just now." Bai Fu reminded.

Yushu bit her lip and nodded.

She didn't want to admit it, but she couldn't help but deny it.

If Bai Fu had no proof, he would never have asked her this question. Moreover, if she refused to admit it in front of the emperor, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor.

She is a little maid, how can she have such courage?
"Then can you tell me, who is the father-in-law who is eating with you?" Bai Fu was always smiling, but everyone present still noticed something unusual.

Even though the court ladies and eunuchs are against the palace rules, it is not a big deal. If it is really investigated seriously, there are dozens if not hundreds of them in the palace.

If Yushu was just fighting with people, how could he have made such a big effort to ask her.

The purpose of calling everyone here today is to talk about the fourth prince. Could it be that Yushu has something to do with Shi?

Seeing that Yushu was silent, Bai Fu did not force her, but said: "He gave you a lot of valuable things, didn't he? I found all these things from his private house outside the palace. He also promised , in the future when you are released from the palace, I will settle down there for you, isn’t it?”

Yushu nodded with difficulty, her face turned even paler.

Bai Fu obviously has a thorough understanding of the matter, otherwise how could he even know these things?
Bai Fu turned his head slightly, and someone brought up a pile of gold, silver and jewels, the amount was really quite a lot, for a court lady, it would be impossible to save so much even in a lifetime.

"These are what the man promised you, aren't they?" Bai Fu pointed to the pile of things and said.

Yu Shu nodded, but lowered his head even lower.

"Where are the three pills Su Qing Dan?" Bai Fu suddenly changed the subject, "It's the three pills that Madam Cen gave."

As we all know, the fourth prince of Suqing Dan took two pills and left one pill.

But when Bai Fu asked such a question, Yu Shu panicked.

Zhong Jieyu was very surprised when she heard this, and she didn't care about anything else, she questioned Yushu: "What's going on? The elixir...you..."

"Your Majesty, this servant really didn't intend to harm the Fourth Prince," Yushu explained eagerly, "Really not!"

"You tampered with the medicine, right?!" Zhong Jieyu's eyes became brighter, like fire and more like a knife.

"Your Majesty..." Yu Shu cried and shook his head, "Don't...how could this servant harm the Fourth Prince?"

"You kept saying that you didn't want to harm the fourth prince, but you still changed Su Qingdan, didn't you?" Bai Fu said.

"Then...that's because..." Yushu really didn't have the courage to tell the truth, "The pills given to the fourth prince are not poisonous, only the remaining pill is poisonous."

"How can you be sure that the food the fourth prince is eating is not poisonous? The Imperial Physician Zan has diagnosed and treated it, and the fourth prince is indeed poisoned by the pill." Bai Fu's tone finally became severe.

　Make time to code a chapter, it's really troublesome to go out!Seeing a doctor is so expensive, there is a feeling of being driven away by bloodletting.I hope everyone is safe and healthy, and spend less money on going to the hospital.
