All the ancestors in the capital begged me to be a substitute

Chapter 318 Please enter the urn
This time, there was no need for Chu Yan to ask any more questions. Concubine Zhao poured out the whole story like she was pouring beans.

"On weekdays, the doctor Xu who asks for the pulse of Furong Palace is the nephew of Julang's nanny. A few days ago, Yun Chong asked the doctor Xu to send a message to my concubine, saying that the Shangsi Festival is approaching and he has a way. , can make the concubine regain the favor of the emperor, and can also avenge the Zhao family..."

"He gave me a packet of medicinal powder and asked me to apply the powder on Juro's face one night in advance. The remaining powder was sprinkled on the Crown Princess's Lantern Festival to give Juro the tassels on his shoulders. Go up. In this way, he can frame this matter to the Crown Princess, and in turn make the Crown Prince suffer. He repeatedly assured me that Juro would only suffer a little bit at most, and his life would never be in danger, so I agreed. of."

"I had prepared everything as he said. But early this morning, I discovered that the maid was so stupid that she mixed the tassels sprinkled with powdered tassels with the tassels cut off from Yun's shoulders. . I couldn’t tell which one had been sprayed with medicine. Time was tight, so I had to find a piece of jujube wood... It’s because of this that the Crown Princess saw the flaw.”

When the emperor heard what she said, he raised his eyes and glanced at Shen Lingxi.

He is not an ignorant fool, and naturally he will not believe that it is a coincidence that the "medicated tassel" and other tassels are mixed together at such a critical moment.

"Have you known about this for a long time?" the emperor asked in a deep voice, "You have stretched your hand too far, and you dare to interfere in the affairs of the harem."

Everyone present could hear the hidden anger in the emperor's tone.

Shen Lingxi bowed calmly and said, "Back to the emperor, the embroidery envoys have hidden positions in various yamen. My wife only saw that the embroidery envoys handed over the daily files of Taiyuan Hospital, and mentioned that there was a man named Xu. The imperial doctor, after getting drunk in a brothel, accidentally fell into the river on his way back and died without a body. My wife followed the clues from the imperial doctor Xu and had people investigate secretly, and found out the hidden mystery. "

The emperor choked.

The official position of Shen Lingxi's embroidered clothing inspector was assigned to him personally.

Now that Shen Lingxi was acting within her own responsibilities, even the emperor could not make mistakes.

"Since this matter has been found out, why did you hide it and not report it?" the emperor asked authoritatively.

Shen Lingxi: "My daughter-in-law just entered the tent to watch the water play, and I got the news before I had time to report it to you. Moreover... when the embroiderer learned that the concubine had taken medicine, it was already too late. My daughter-in-law was thinking about the antidote. In Yun Chong's hands, he had no choice but to resort to tricks."

"What a 'too late', what a 'helpless'." The emperor almost laughed angrily and sneered: "Only today do I know why the prince asked to marry you in the first place."

Shen Lingxi's eyes drooped.

At the moment, I couldn't tell whether the emperor was praising her for being smart, or scolding Chu Yan for marrying her because he was interested in her ability and had no ulterior motives.

After all, only a man who has no ability and only wants to take advantage of a woman can calculate a woman's ability so clearly when they look at each other.

Seeing that she had become silent, the emperor stopped embarrassing her and turned to look at Concubine Zhao, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

Concubine Zhao shuddered and cried: "Your Majesty, I am blinded by lard, but I do this because I really want to go back to the past with the Emperor. During these days, my clan members died tragically, and I Losing the favor of the emperor, life was very miserable. I was in panic all day long, and the Furong Palace was even colder than the Cold Palace. Especially every time I left the Furong Palace, I could see the emperor and Concubine Yue looking at each other, and her heart hurt like a knife. It’s too painful.”

At this point, she thought of something and hurriedly said: "Moreover, I did this not just for myself. The emperor didn't know something, but Imperial Physician Xu told me that the East Palace was also responsible for burning the Li family's goose warmer." "Xiang', Emperor Xiaode died suddenly. If the Li family hadn't cleaned up the whole family in time, His Royal Highness would definitely have traced the Li family. Now if Concubine Yue is allowed to favor her wantonly, maybe one day the emperor will also Falling to the same fate as Emperor Xiaode..."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

Chu Yan lowered his face very cooperatively.

This time, before he could ask on behalf of the emperor, the emperor had already asked urgently: "What's going on? Tell me carefully!"

The emperor never imagined that this matter would involve the death of his brother.Concubine Zhao was about to speak, but the Marquis of Yiyang, Li Xiangyang, suddenly fell to his knees on the ground.

Li Huai and Li Xiaoqing felt turbulent in their hearts because of Concubine Zhao's words.

The two of them hurriedly knelt down with Li Xiangyang, panicking in their hearts as to whether what Concubine Zhao said was true or false.

"My dear concubine, medicine can be used indiscriminately, but words can't be said indiscriminately..." Marquis Yiyang said with a hint of tears, "Our Li family ancestors have not opened even half an incense shop for three generations. No matter how dissatisfied you are with my little girl, , and you can’t just talk nonsense and confuse right and wrong like this.”

Li Xiangyang was able to understand the emperor's thoughts best and knew that the emperor hated the harem fighting.

He described Zhao Guifei's words as a "jealous" attack on Li Yuejiao, implying that this was a harem fight.

Sure enough, the emperor believed his words and his expression softened slightly.

However, at this time, Concubine Zhao was only thinking about "making meritorious service", so how could she let him fool her?

"Marquis Yiyang knows whether I am lying or not." Concubine Zhao's eyes were red and she stared at Marquis Yiyang.

She couldn't deal with Shen Lingxi, could it be that she couldn't deal with a mere Li family?

"There is only one word difference between Li's Tianxiang Pavilion and the 'Tianxiang Pavilion' in Beijing seven years ago. The 'goose warm fragrance' of Tianxiang Pavilion is the same as the 'warming fragrance' of Tianxiang Pavilion back then, both in terms of smell and efficacy. , all exactly the same. After learning about this, I specially asked people to come out of the palace to see. Even the shopkeeper and waiters are using the old people from the previous "Tianxiang Pavilion". Those are all in your family. servant!"

It is reasonable that Li Huai was young and did not know what Concubine Zhao said.

But Li Xiaoqing was so clear that she couldn't be more clear.

Only at this moment did she understand why Li Xiangyang warned her that night that he must never mention to others that he opened an incense shop in the name of the Zhenguo Government.

I finally understood why Yun Chong, who had a birthmark on his neck, pretended to be "Zhao Long" and descended from the sky to her. He also gave her such an expensive incense shop as a gift in the name of loving her.

It turns out that everything... is just a conspiracy.

Whether it's my brother seven years ago or Yun Chong who just died.

Not only did they keep her in the dark, they also took advantage of her so thoroughly...

Just when Li Xiaoqing fully understood——

Her brother Li Xiangyang, the Marquis of Yiyang, who was kneeling in front of her, also spoke.

"Your Majesty, this humble minister is really unjust... Everyone in the capital knows that the 'Tianxiang Pavilion' was not opened by our Li family, but by the Xu family of Zhen Guo Gong. My sister Li married the elder of Zhen Guo Gong's family. Er Xu Yuanshan, those guys are all my sister’s dowry, and their physical deeds are quite common in the Li family.”

"People say that 'a married daughter is a spilled water', and a woman 'marries to obey her husband'. Even if there was a problem with that incense shop back then, it was my sister's husband who died long ago who had a problem. We should not be blamed." On top of the Li family!"
