Help!The US-strong villain was blackmailed by me!

Chapter 52
As soon as the words fell, a guard immediately came forward to lift the lid of the incense burner, and wrapped the remaining ashes in the incense burner with a handkerchief.

Shen Jinyu checked again carefully, and after confirming that there was nothing else to discover, she led the guards back.

Shen Jinyu: "Who does the imperial concubine listen to about the fact that the osmanthus sandalwood can help the fetus?"

"Return to my lord," Ban Yue thought for a while, "it was said by the noble concubine from the same hometown as the concubine."

"Master Xiang?" Shen Jinyu asked with a frown.

"Yes, the imperial concubine is from Qingyang County, and so are the Xiang nobles. Because they are from the same hometown, the noble concubine has a chat with the Xiang nobles, and it is convenient to walk. After the news of the imperial concubine's pregnancy spread, a chat with the Zhongxiang nobles She said that this incense is common, and it should be available in the palace. The imperial concubine went to the Incense Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to inquire, and found that there was indeed this incense, and some people heard that it had the effect of anti-birth, so the empress took the incense from the inner room. It was replaced."

Shen Jinyu was silent after listening, and already had some calculations in her heart.

Back in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Shen Jinyu threw the ashes of osmanthus sandalwood to Imperial Physician Sun, "Emperor Sun has a good look, is there any difference in this fragrance?"

"But what did you find?" Lu Tao asked.

Shen Jinyu shook her head, "No, it's just that the incense in the outer room of the imperial concubine is different, I'm just curious."

Lu Tao: "The incense beside Li Guifei's bed is osmanthus sandalwood, which is indeed different from the incense in the outhouse, but what's so strange?"

Shen Jinyu didn't answer, but looked at Imperial Physician Sun, who put the incense on the tip of his nose and sniffed it carefully, "This is osmanthus sandalwood, which has the effect of calming the nerves and protecting the fetus. I also have this incense in my house. It was used when my daughter-in-law was pregnant. What I brought back from the Incense Bureau is just this incense, which is a little different from the one in my family."

"What's the difference?" Lu Tao's heart twitched, he got up from the dragon chair, and walked over to have a look.

"Here, Your Majesty, please ask someone to go to the Incense Bureau to get a new osmanthus sandalwood for comparison."

Lu Tao: "Ah Yao, you go!"

"Yes!" Song Yao took the order and hurried away.

Shen Jinyu: "Your Majesty, it was just half a month ago that the nobleman from Hunan told the imperial concubine about the fact that osmanthus sandalwood can help conceive,"

"The nobleman of Xiang, the nobleman of Hunan and Concubine Li Gui have always been friends. What Shen Aiqing means..." Lu Tao looked at Shen Jinyu with a questioning look in his eyes.

Shen Jinyu shook her head, "Your Majesty can send the nobleman from Xiang to ask about the situation at that time,"

Lu Tao nodded, "Come here, call Xianggui over here."

In a short while, two eunuchs and two guards brought Xianggui over. As soon as Xianggui entered the door and saw the battle in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, she was stunned. She didn't understand what she was called here for, but she still went up a few steps Before bowing to Lu Tao,

"My concubine has seen Your Majesty."

Xianggui must have just cried. Although the tears on his face have been wiped off, his eyes are red and swollen.

"Master Xiang, did you tell Concubine Li Gui about the osmanthus sandalwood's ability to conceive?" Lu Tao asked directly.

The Xiang nobleman didn't understand what it meant to ask her to ask these questions, but he told the truth, "It was the concubine who told the imperial concubine. That day, the concubine, Concubine Wang Shu, and nobleman Zhang were chatting at the lotus pond. The concubine knew that the concubine The news that the empress is pregnant with a dragon's heir reminds me that in my concubine's hometown, there are pregnant women who will light osmanthus sandalwood in the house, which can calm the nerves and stabilize the pregnancy, and relieve those vomiting and heart palpitations during pregnancy."

"And then?" Lu Tao followed closely and asked.

"Then, the imperial concubine asked the concubine where to find osmanthus sandalwood, and the concubine said that the Ministry of Internal Affairs should have it, and this incense is not a rare thing."

Ban Yue exited to testify, "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine did go to the Incense Bureau to get incense back the next day."

Lu Tao fell into deep thought, but when Shen Jinyu heard the words Wang Shufei, her heart suddenly paused. Ban Yue said that Li Guifei had a stomachache after smelling the flowers Wang Shufei picked for her in the Royal Garden.

Concubine Wang Shu...

When Shen Jinyu was thinking about this person, Song Yao, who had been sent to the Incense Bureau to get incense, came back. He opened a box, revealed the brand new incense inside, and handed it to Doctor Sun.

Sun Taiyi touched the incense in the box with his finger and put it on the tip of his nose to smell it, and his expression changed immediately, "Your Majesty, there is something wrong with the incense in the imperial concubine's incense burner!"

Hearing this, everyone was startled, Lu Tao squatted down in panic, grabbed Sun Taiyi and asked, "What's the problem?"

"The incense ash in the incense burner brought back by Mrs. Shen smelled of black stones. Black stones are highly poisonous, but the smell is so faint that ordinary people can't smell them at all. This poison was added to the incense of the empress. The fragrance was covered up, so it has not been discovered. Wushizi is highly poisonous, but the poison is slow, and it conflicts with the pollen of Yulinglong flower. The empress has smelled Yulinglong flower today, and it must be at that time that she inhaled the pollen and instantly aroused the poisonous hair !"

"The jade Linglong picked by Concubine Wang Shu is for the imperial concubine," Shen Jinyu reminded from the side.

Lu Tao suddenly realized, he almost shouted in a trembling voice, "Come on, bring Concubine Wang Shu over here!"

Hearing this, Xianggui understood what was going on, she was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat, she was still crying before coming to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, crying, no matter how good a person like Li Huanwu was, he would be gone. Someone is doing it!
This harem is indeed a place to eat people!

Lu Tao took a few steps back and fell heavily on the dragon chair. Song Yao went to support him, "Your Majesty."

Shen Jinyu turned her eyes to the door indifferently, waiting for Concubine Wang Shu to come in.

Not long after, I heard the sound of footsteps at the door, and the guard escorted a graceful and luxurious woman with her hair full of jewels and emeralds to come in. As soon as the woman came in, she was pressed to kneel on the ground with a calm face.

"Concubine Shu, I remember that you are good at medicine, Wu Shizi and Yu Linglong, you are really scheming," Lu Tao's face was full of pain.

"What is the emperor talking about? The concubine doesn't understand." Concubine Wang Shu said innocently.

"Still pretending?" Lu Tao slapped the table and stood up, "Concubine Li Gui and the prince in her womb, are you the one who killed them?"

"Concubine Li Gui? Does her death have anything to do with the concubine?" Concubine Wang Shu was clearly defending herself, but her eyes were full of pride and fearlessness.

"Poison woman!" Lu Tao was enraged by her eyes, he stepped forward and grabbed Concubine Wang Shu's shoulder, and asked, "Huan Wu is a kind person, never argues with others, and has no trouble with you, what is the reason for you?" Do that?"

Concubine Wang Shu looked at Lu Tao, her eyes were even more smug, she suddenly curled up her mouth and laughed, suddenly moved her hands, a cold light flashed on her sleeves, Shen Jinyu's eyes flickered in vain, and she quickly drew the knife at the side of the guard's waist and pointed it at Concubine Wang Shu cut off from his hand.

Suddenly, Concubine Wang Shu took out a short dagger from her waist. Fortunately, Shen Jinyu had quick eyes and quick hands, and the dagger was chopped off by Shen Jinyu before it touched Lu Tao.

"Escort! Escort!" Song Yao pulled Lu Tao behind him, drew his sword and pointed at Concubine Wang Shu, and the guards who ordered them drew their knives out of their sheaths to surround Concubine Wang Shu. Concubine Wang Shu still had a smile on her face, and her arm was captured by Shen Jinyu. Cut, the blood has stained the sleeves red.

The Hall of Mental Cultivation was in a mess, and several imperial physicians went straight to Lu Tao's side in fear and stood in front of him.

Concubine Wang Shu ignored the knives pointed at her in a circle, and only stared at Lu Tao who was protected behind the wall of people. Suddenly, she reached out and grabbed a knife in front of her, stretched her neck and bumped into it.

In an instant, blood was splashed everywhere, and no one thought that Concubine Wang Shu committed suicide by slamming a sword.

Concubine Wang Shu's body instantly fell to the ground like a puppet with broken strings, the wound on her neck was bleeding, and her eyes were open angrily, as if she was dying.

The Xiang nobleman, who had never seen such a scene, fainted from fright when he saw Concubine Wang Shu's death.

Shen Jinyu looked over the fallen figure of Concubine Wang Shu and looked at the knocked-out dagger with a gloomy expression.

That was Dong Tart's scimitar and short dagger.
