Ma'am, she only wants to be promoted

Chapter 169 The Empress Dies

Lu Wanning really didn't hear about it. She felt that the empress's condition was not right before, and when she saw the empress vomiting blood yesterday, she also felt that the empress was not simply vomited blood because of what Concubine An said, but the empress was poisoned. She really hasn't heard of it.

Lu Wanning shook her head and said, "Maybe it's because the palace servants in my palace don't have any skills, so they haven't heard about it yet."

In fact, Lu Wanning was a bit wronged for saying this. Zhou Man, who was outside to inquire about the news, was a little bit wronged.

The reason why Lu Wanning hasn't heard Zhou Man's report on the poisoning of the empress is because Zhou Man's main focus is on finding out about the murder of the prince.

Zhou Cairen didn't know if Lu Wanning really didn't know, or if she was just on guard against her and didn't want to talk about it in front of her.

After listening to Lu Wanning's words, she didn't get entangled in this matter, but took a box of womb flowers she made from the hand of the maid behind her, and said to Lu Wanning: "Actually, the concubine came today to give the palace flowers to the empress. Yes, the concubine made another batch of palace flowers in her free time two days ago, and these few flowers are not bad, so the concubine specially picked them out and gave them to the empress to enjoy."

Lu Wanning smiled and took it away, and also gave Zhou Cairen the incense she made herself when Zhou Cairen left.

Not long after Zhou Cairen left, Zhou Man came back from outside.

"Master, an eunuch who tended flowers and plants in the imperial garden committed suicide by taking poison."

The eunuch who tends the flowers and plants in the imperial garden?

"Is this person's suicide related to the murder of the prince?" Lu Wanning guessed.

Zhou Man said: "It should be like this. The inner court prison and Eunuch Lian Yongwang were looking for this little eunuch this morning, but after finally finding it, they found that this person had committed suicide by taking poison."

"But this person seems to have a good relationship with a maid in Anpin's Palace."

This matter has turned to An Bin again?

This made Lu Wanning feel that no matter whether Concubine An did what happened this time, in the end, she might only be able to find Concubine An in the end.

After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was invited by Concubine An to go to the lake, and Concubine An also had a reason to murder the Crown Prince, and the clues found now point to Concubine An.

Even if Anpin said whether she did it, but she can't produce evidence to prove that she didn't do it, then when all the evidence points to her, no matter whether she did it or not, she will eventually be deemed to have done it .

Even if the emperor believed her, it was useless, after all, it was the crown prince who had the accident this time, the prince of the country.

Zhou Man waited for Lu Wanning to come back to his senses before continuing: "Besides, I also heard that the empress has been poisoned by a kind of poison called beauty withered bones..."

Although Lu Wanning had already heard about this from Zhou Cairen, he didn't interrupt Zhou Man's words, he wanted to hear if there was any difference between Zhou Man's inquiring news and what Zhou Cairen said.

"It seems that what caused the empress to be poisoned was the string of small-leaf red sandalwood beads that the empress often wears on her hands. According to the Buddhist beads, the beads were soaked in poison, and the empress carried them every day, so she was poisoned, and the person who replaced the string of beads of the empress It's most likely Anpin."

Lu Wanning didn't think this was surprising. Concubine An and the Queen had a feud against their son, and she could understand Concubine An poisoning the Queen.

It's just that An Bin was found so quickly, but Lu Wanning felt a little weird.

Two days later, the evidence of An Pin's poisoning of the queen and the prince was conclusive, and An Pin was thrown into limbo.

When Lu Wanning heard that Concubine An was just thrown into the cold palace, and not directly given to death, she understood that the emperor still did not believe that the crown prince died at the hands of Concubine An.

The death of the crown prince should have dealt a severe blow to Luo Chengjing. Since Luo Chengjing visited the Linglong Pavilion that night, Luo Chengjing has not entered the harem for more than ten days.

The queen's body lasted for more than ten days, but finally she couldn't hold it anymore, and died at the end of the month.

In the Lin family, upon hearing the news that the queen was gone, Mrs. Ying burst into tears.

Lin Shangshu has only sighed and sighed since the crown prince passed away, and now when he heard the news that the queen was gone, Lin Shangshu also had a mournful face, with a sky-falling expression on his face.

Lin Taifu, who was much older than before, looked at Lin Shangshu and Ying Shi, and said helplessly and earnestly: "Actually, think about the good, it is a good thing that they are leaving at this time."

At least they can be buried in the imperial mausoleum as princes and queens.

Regarding the death of the prince and queen, although Taifu Lin was sad, it is undeniable that he was relieved at the same time.

The son is not smart, and the granddaughter who sits on the queen's seat is even more incomprehensible. It would be great if the prince could be a bit like the emperor, but it is a pity that the prince's brain has followed his mother and grandfather, and he is not at all like the emperor.

No matter how well he is now, he can still suppress his granddaughter who is not very clear-headed. The emperor also gives him some face, and often doesn't care about the stupid things she does.

But once he is gone, the emperor will definitely not tolerate the queen any more.

And if his granddaughter who couldn't see the situation clearly did something again, it might bring disaster to the entire Lin family.

Now, the prince and the queen have disappeared one after another. Although the Lin family lost the opportunity to become the future emperor's family, but from a certain level, it also picked the Lin family out of the bloody vortex in the future, so that the Lin family would not be incurring any troubles in the future. The catastrophe.

The Lin family may gradually decline in the future, but the Lin family's heritage is still there.As long as there are smart and eager to learn among the nephews in the next generation, the Lin family will still have a chance to restore the glory of his time at any time.

After Lin Shangshu heard Taifu Lin's words, he wanted to refute, but saw Taifu Lin coughed twice, stood up tremblingly and left the hall.

Lin Shangshu looked at Ying who was still crying, and asked, "What does Dad mean by that?"

Ying ignored Lin Shangshu, turned around and left while crying.

"Hey? You..." Lin Shangshu stomped his feet, walked back and forth in the hall a few times, and then sat back on the chair again and sighed.

The empress is the mother of the country. When the empress dies, the wives who are ordered by the imperial court will naturally go to the palace to mourn.

But the difference is that the concubines like Lu Wanning are guarding the spirit inside the palace, while the wives are crying outside the palace.

Fengyi Palace was completely white, crying loudly, Lu Wanning knelt in front of the queen's coffin with lowered eyebrows and lowered her eyes, and kept putting the paper money in her hand into the brazier in front of her eyes.

Concubine Jing is kneeling in front of her right, and Concubine Xi is kneeling on the left.

Like Lu Wanning, the two of them lowered their heads and knelt there earnestly burning paper money for the queen.

It's just that Concubine Jing's kneeling posture is the same as Lu Wanning's, and they are very well-behaved, but Concubine Xi is different. She has been kneeling for so long and she can't kneel anymore. Now she almost needs to move after a while. .
