Hall of Fame

Chapter 60 Poison Woman
When Gao Changxue came in a hurry, he happened to see everyone gathered around the main hall of Changle Hall.

Emperor Jiayuan was wearing a bright yellow robe embroidered with five-clawed golden dragon. He was sitting on top with a gloomy face. His sword-browed eagle eyes were full of hostility. Beside him, I can't see the expression on his face...

And her mother and concubine Cao Zhaohua sat on the ground in a daze, the red hairpins on her temples were a little messy, and there were obvious slap marks on her cheeks.

Gao Changxue was originally studying at Master Qin's place, and came here in a hurry when she didn't want to hear the news. She probably had inquired about what happened in the Changle Hall along the way, and she understood what Cao Shuying did before. ...It was revealed.

In addition to seeing Cao Shuying so devastated, she was even more panicked and worried.

After all, she and Cao Shuying are biological mother and child.

"Father..."

A clear voice sounded, and looking at the kneeling figure in front of her, Cao Shuying, who was sitting on the ground in a daze, came back to her senses. In an instant, she looked at Gao Changxue with eyes full of tears, and said with a tight heart, "Long Snow... long snow..."

"I beg my father to forgive my mother and concubine."

Gao Changxue's face was as pale as paper, she squeezed through the crowd and knelt in front of Cao Shuying, looking at Emperor Jiayuan with mist in the corner of her eyes, wanting to intercede for Cao Shuying, but before Gao Changxue opened her mouth, she saw Emperor Jiayuan turn a blind eye Cao Shuying waved her hand, and the palace servants around her immediately stepped forward and pulled Gao Changxue up from the ground.

"Father..."

Gao Changxue's heart tightened, and she wanted to struggle forward, but Ning Wanqiu secretly grabbed Gao Changxue's wrist and said in a low voice, "Princess Fifth, this matter has nothing to do with you. If you continue to be so ignorant of the situation and keep messing around, I'm afraid that even you will make a bad impression in front of the emperor!"

Gao Changxue has always been sensible and responsible. Apart from Cao Shuying's status, Gao Changxue can be regarded as the most favored princess in the palace besides Gao Changle.

No matter what Cao Shuying did today, she couldn't drag her down anymore. Whether she could live or not became a problem. Even if Gao Changxue begged the emperor hard, there must be no result. Ning Wanqiu raised her eyebrows and looked at Gao Changxue. His eyes were full of warning.

Even without giving Gao Changxue a chance to struggle, he lowered his eyes to the big court lady Magpie behind him and ordered, "Look at the princess well, this timing is not suitable for the princess to appear, take the princess down to take care of her!"

"Yes!"

The magpie signaled to the little maid next to her with great winking, and they all stepped forward to hold Gao Changxue's body tightly, bypassing the crowd and exiting the bedroom from the back.

"Mother concubine...Mother concubine..."

"Father, please spare mother and concubine...Father..."

Gao Changxue's face begged, and her voice was compassionate.

"Changxue...my Changxue, give it back to me..."

"Give me back the child..."

Cao Shuying was also insane, and wanted to grab Gao Changxue's outstretched hand, but unfortunately, the palace servants pressed her firmly to the ground, and Ning Wanqiu stood in front of Cao Shuying, "Cao Zhaohua, even if you are right or wrong now, It has not been concluded yet, but this is the palace after all, what are you crying about like this?"

"How is it different from a folk shrew?"

"If you really think about the fifth princess, you should shut up! It's better to pray that the matter of the first queen has nothing to do with you."

Ning Wanqiu's eyes were sharp and majestic, she stared at Cao Shuying angrily like a royal queen, and made Cao Shuying's tears back, even if she wanted to go crazy.

The atmosphere in Changle Hall was dignified, except for the slight noise at the moment when Gao Changxue appeared, the rest of the people seemed to be holding their breath, not daring to make any movement, for fear of the noble emperor at the top. The anger in his heart involved himself.

Time also flies by.

It was completely dark.

The candles burning in the glazed palace lanterns in Changle Hall were bright, as if they wanted to illuminate the whole bedroom as if it were daytime. The fire in the small kitchen outside was finally gradually reduced by the efforts of the palace staff, and only a little fire was left. It's a small flame, but the billowing smoke may last for a while.

Not long after, Li Shao came in the night wearing a eunuch uniform embroidered with the dark pattern of flying fish. His sharp face reappeared in front of everyone. Behind Li Shao, there were several mahogany boxes with carved patterns...

The mahogany boxes were carried to Emperor Jiayuan and opened one by one. Inside were a variety of treasures, especially the most eye-catching one was the plum vase with black ground and white lotus pattern...

"hiss……"

Qi Zhengxi couldn't help but gasped. She recognized the plum vase with black ground and white lotus pattern. She remembered that her mother wanted to find such a plum vase for her when she was not out of the cabinet. It's a pity that Xie Gong's mansion took the lead, so he could only give up in resentment.

"It's no wonder that Cao Zhaohua took such a generous move. It turned out that he had stolen the treasures of the empress and princess..."

"There is such a big thief in the palace!"

And those stable women and imperial physicians that Jiang Caiwei mentioned also knelt in front of Emperor Jiayuan one after another, tremblingly paying their respects, "Your Majesty."

Emperor Jiayuan's voice was as cold as snow, and his eyes were as frosty, "Tell me, what happened when the empress gave birth back then?"

"Returning to the emperor, the empress's body was always healthy during her pregnancy, and the empress's mother was taking good care of her. The full-term delivery will definitely not be difficult, and there will be no dystocia caused by the fetal position. .”

"Before the Empress gave birth, her lower body was already bleeding heavily. If the Empress hadn't made a quick decision, the life of the Seventh Prince might not have been saved. Afterwards, the minister took the empress's pulse, and it was obvious that the empress's pulse was found from the empress's pulse. The body takes a lot of safflower and musk in pregnancy."

"Both the safflower and musk have the function of promoting blood circulation and dredging collaterals. If a woman uses it in the early stage of pregnancy, she will inevitably have a miscarriage. If she uses it in the late stage of pregnancy, when the fetus is full-term, it will cause blood collapse. In severe cases, one dead body and two lives."

The imperial physician tremblingly answered the scene back then, it was the first time in many years, but now that I think about it, I can't help but feel terrified. Back then, everyone only knew that Xie Xianyin risked her life to give birth to the emperor's son. But in fact, only Xie Xianyin and the imperial physician knew in their hearts that it was impossible to recover after bleeding so much, and only by fighting hard could they still save the unborn child in their womb.

"Why didn't you say it then?"

Xie Shuyin listened to the answers of the Wen Po and the imperial physicians on the ground in shock, and couldn't help questioning with tears in her eyes.

The imperial physician and Mrs. Wen who were kneeling on the ground replied in fear, "Return to your mother's words."

"Life in the palace has always been a lot of taboos, not to mention the secrets of the palace. After involving a country, the villains, as slaves, can't control these things, let alone do it casually. They only know how to keep their mouths shut and don't dare to do more Otherwise, if you are not careful, you will be killed."

"I also ask the emperor to spare my life! The emperor spares my life!"

Ning Wanqiu's eyes sank a little, and Qi Zhengxi on the side was inexplicably nervous. Bai Shuyuan frowned and looked between Jiang Caiwei and Gao Changle with cold eyes. She always felt that what happened today was not so simple, and Jiang Caiwei Looking at Cao Shuying on the ground, there was only hatred in her eyes.

Everyone was speculating in their hearts, but the most crucial decision-making power was still in the hands of the superior Emperor Jiayuan, Gao Minhuai. Unexpectedly, Emperor Jiayuan did not reprimand Cao Shuying harshly as expected, but rather in a low voice. Laughed out, "Hehe."

The corners of Gao Min's slashed lips were slightly pursed, but this low laughter made people feel colder behind and numb in the scalp than a sharp roar.

"it is good."

"very good."

"Cao Shuying, you did a great job!"

Snapped--

The laughter stopped abruptly, and Emperor Jiayuan was furious and dropped the sapphire teacup next to his hand to the ground, and the hot tea splashed on Cao Shuying's skirt like this, bringing the fragments of the teacup and the soaked teacup together. Gao Minhuai got up from his seat and kicked Cao Shuying hard on the shoulder, "Cao Shuying, you did a great job."

"I miss you to cherish Changle, to be loyal to the queen, to forgive and love you again and again, but the person lying next to my pillow is actually a snake like you!"

"Poison woman!"

Emperor Jiayuan's scolding pierced Cao Shuying's heart like a needle, Cao Shuying couldn't breathe in pain, her tear-filled eyes were full of panic and fear, Cao Shuying shook her head desperately, "No... Your Majesty, it's not like this, it's not like this."

"The concubine is indeed greedy and wants to get some money here in Changle. It is only because the concubine's family is poor and short-lived for a while that he has evil thoughts, but the concubine did not want to set fire to Changle, let alone Thinking about killing the Empress Dowager."

"No, there are really no concubines."

"Your majesty, you should trust the concubine once, there really is no concubine."

Jiang Caiwei gritted her teeth with tears in her eyes, "Your Majesty, this is the sachet that Cao Zhaohua gave to the Empress that the concubine secretly hid in the chaos. The concubine has not touched the things in it. The imperial physician is here. If the emperor doesn't believe it, you can let the imperial physician examine it, and you don't know the pattern on the sachet, Cao Zhaohua, right?"

Cao Shuying's family background is not high, she has not read many books and learned many etiquettes, but she is a good embroiderer. In the early years, in order to please the concubines and Emperor Jiayuan, she also sent out a lot of embroidery patterns , the sachet Jiang Caiwei held in her hand was exquisitely embroidered and carefully crafted, but the choice of fabric and pattern was very petty, and the familiar embroidery stitches were even more eye-catching. It came out with special features, except for Cao Zhaohua in the palace, there is no other person who can be like this.

Perhaps what is lacking will make him want something urgently.

Some people lack love, and they hope that others can love themselves.

When someone is short of money, he very much hopes to turn other people's money into his own.

Cao Shuying is such a person.

The sachet was thrown in front of Cao Shuying by Jiang Caiwei, making Cao Shuying's face pale, and she was speechless for a while, "Chenqie... Chenqie..."

"What else do you have to say?" Gao Minhuai snapped.

Jiang Caiwei didn't even give Cao Shuying any chance to defend herself, "Your Majesty, now that the evidence is convincing, please make a conclusion as soon as possible, give justice to the Empress, and replace the Eldest Princess!"

Back then when Jiang Caiwei climbed onto the dragon bed, everyone in the harem thought she had betrayed her for the sake of power and honor. Later, Gao Changle felt that she had betrayed Xie Xianyin and cared about her everywhere. But after what happened today, these people in the harem The concubine will understand that Jiang Caiwei has endured humiliation for so many years to find evidence for Empress Yuan, and even more to bring down Cao Zhaohua.

As such...

Jiang Caiwei can no longer pretend to be hostile to Gao Changle.

This sentence is also reasonable to defend Gao Changle's grievances.

"Your Majesty, my concubine also thinks that the evidence is convincing. Cao Zhaohua's behavior is really hateful. It should be resolved as soon as possible to give the world and Xie Gongfu an explanation." Ning Wanqiu leaned over slowly, but Qi Zhengxi's eyes hesitated. Unexpectedly, she actually No openings to add insult to injury.

Emperor Jiayuan raised his eyes, and stared sharply at Cao Shuying, "You let me down so much."

After the death of Empress Yuan, Emperor Jiayuan always treated Ning Wanqiu with courtesy, and then Jiang Caiwei and Cao Shuying were the most favored.

don't want to...

It was Cao Shuying who killed the love of her heart.

He actually put his enemy on his pillow and hurt for many years.

You let me down so much.

Just this sentence caused tears to flow from Cao Shuying's eyes, and in a short while, tears were streaming down her face. Emperor Jiayuan also said with a livid face, "Cao, the sinful woman, has a vicious heart, and first framed the mother of the country, Xie." , and later framed the eldest princess Chang Le, who was greedy and unworthy of being a human being."

"Give it to Bai Ling."

Gao Changle, who was standing by the red lacquered wooden chair, let go of his tightly clenched hands, and Jiang Caiwei raised his eyelids slightly, his eyes flickered, and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

After Emperor Jiayuan ordered the execution in a cold voice, he strode away from the dormitory and disappeared into the night. The other concubines also comforted Gao Changle a few times symbolically, and then went back to his dormitory. The thick smoke gradually extinguished, and the seemingly noisy night regained its calm.

unworthy of being human...

Give Bai Ling...

These two sentences had already broken the last line of defense in Cao Shuying's heart. Seeing Emperor Jiayuan's leaving back, she begged bitterly, but was dragged down by the palace staff with no expression on her face.

The night is dark.

The silvery white moonlight shone on the ground, and there were crickets chirping everywhere, making the quiet Changle Hall inexplicably noisy.

"your Highness."

Zhu Xi and Zhu Yu were moved to tears when they heard it. If it wasn't for the special circumstances, they would have gone up to hold Gao Changle and cried bitterly.

at last……

The queen empress can finally leave in peace.

It turns out that the empress is not really having a difficult labor, but has been framed all the time, and they only now know that there is a princess...

Her Royal Highness has suffered a lot of grievances, and her life is almost hanging by a thread.

"You guys go down first, I want to be quiet for a while." Gao Changle was exhausted between words, stretched out his hand, and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Zhu Xi and Zhu Yu nodded obediently, and when even Li Shao wanted to leave, Gao Changle's outstretched hand suddenly grabbed him in time.
