Chapter 9: Transmigrating into a Royal Concubine, She Turns the Harem Upside Down (Part 9)

"Your Majesty, someone must have framed me secretly. I am innocent!

I can swear on my life that I really did not have anyone poison the virtuous concubine."

Concubine Shu knelt before the emperor and cried to appeal for justice. She didn't know who had framed her secretly.

Although he did have such thoughts, before he could act, Concubine Xian had already been poisoned by arsenic.

"Shu Fei, I am so disappointed in you. I thought you were virtuous, but I didn't expect you to be such a vicious woman.

Everything you did by planting spies in Concubine Xian's palace is only a small part of it. There are many more things that I have not sent people to investigate.

Furthermore, you actually attempted to poison the Imperial Concubine and end our family lineage. This is a heinous crime."

Finally finding an opportunity to punish Concubine Shu, the emperor wanted to put all the blame on her.

'Thank you, please don't cue me.'

When the Dog Emperor suddenly called her name, Fox Xiaomeng rolled her eyes at him and asked, "Who wants to have a baby with you?"

I picked up a few notes that Concubine Shu had written to instruct the spies in Yaohua Palace to do something and took a look. They should really have been written by Concubine Shu.

But this palace maid must not be the one sent by Concubine Shu before, otherwise the expression on Concubine Shu’s face would not have been so confident.

However, this palace maid now knew everything that Concubine Shu had arranged, and there was only one possibility.

That is, the person planted by Concubine Shu was deeply hypnotized, so she confessed everything.

The person behind the hypnosis of this palace maid should be the mysterious time traveler.

Hu Xiaomeng, who had figured it all out, was ordered by the emperor to deal with the palace maid.

He sent someone from his palace to do this task and rescue her secretly.

"Come here, banish Concubine Shu to the cold palace."

The emperor's words determined Shufei's life and meant that the family behind her would decline from then on.

"Your Majesty, I am innocent. I am innocent. You cannot treat me like this..."

The concubine Shu, who was dragged away, burst into tears and pulled at the emperor's clothes, begging him bitterly.

However, no one present sympathized with her. In this cruel palace, everyone was happy to have one less strong competitor.

"Your Majesty, I am incompetent. The virtuous concubine was poisoned twice in one night, and the second time the amount of arsenic was even greater.

Although we have saved her life, we cannot guarantee when she will regain consciousness."

Several imperial doctors knelt down and reported the virtuous concubine's condition truthfully.

Xianfei's confidant almost fainted after hearing this. It was only a little bit of arsenic to frame Shufei, so how could she fall into a coma?

"You must do everything you can to wake up the virtuous concubine, otherwise I will kill you!"

At the emperor's command, all the imperial doctors were so frightened that they knelt on the ground, trembling.

"We will do our best!"

Although they were unsure, the imperial doctors still answered in unison.

Hu Xiaomeng no longer wanted to stay here and watch this extremely hypocritical emperor act. After expressing appropriate sympathy to Concubine Xian, she returned to her Dexing Palace to take care of business.

"Your Highness, why did you allow someone to bring this servant here?"

The maid in the virtuous concubine's palace was not very happy when she found out that she was not dead and was taken away. This meant that she might suffer a fate worse than death.

"Who is the one who ordered you to frame Concubine Shu? I will count to three.

If you still don't tell the truth, I will immediately let you experience what it means to be in greater pain than ever before."

Fox Xiaomeng, who doesn't like to beat around the bush, started counting directly after he finished speaking. Unexpectedly, the palace maid still didn't speak after she finished counting.

"Ah...it hurts so much...it hurts so much...Please, my lady, please spare me...I will tell you everything."

The palace maid hesitated at first because she was afraid of implicating her family, but after a while she could not bear it anymore.

"It was... someone in Concubine Lan's palace who ordered this servant to do this... She told this servant to follow her instructions and put the blame on Concubine Shu for everything.

The notes and gold and silver jewelry in the bundle were also given to me by her. I swear everything I said is true."

After the palace maid discovered that the severe pain in her body had really disappeared, she quickly told the imperial concubine what she knew.

"Forget about swearing. I never believe in oaths. Now I will take you to Concubine Lan's Palace to identify that person.

If you can’t find it, no one can guarantee what kind of pain you will experience.”

Hu Xiaomeng believed that the palace maid did not dare to tell her the truth, but whether the person who instructed her was from Concubine Lan's palace remained to be verified.

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Sister Noble Concubine. You came to my palace so late at night. Is there something important?"

When Concubine Lan returned to her palace to rest, she saw the Imperial Concubine rushing in with a palace maid.

This palace maid was the one who accused Concubine Shu of murdering Concubine Xian in Yaohua Palace today. She should have been sentenced to death.

"The matter is urgent, Concubine Lan, just stay put and don't cause any more trouble.

You, quickly find that person for me."

Finding that Lan Fei talked a little too much, Hu Xiaomeng directly pressed her mute xue and asked her to stay aside quietly.

After taking the palace maid to tour Concubine Lan's palace, she did not find the woman who instructed her to frame Concubine Shu.

"Please spare my life, Imperial Concubine, everything I said is true. That woman also has the badge from Concubine Lan's palace.

I secretly followed her, and she really walked all the way back to Concubine Lan's palace, but why can't I find her today? "

Fearing that they would have to go through that kind of excruciating torture again, the palace maids in Concubine Xian's palace knelt in fear and begged for mercy.

"Princess Lan, are all the people in your palace here?"

Seeing that Lan Fei seemed to have something to say, Hu Xiaomeng clicked on her mute button.

"Sister Imperial Concubine, what are you looking for in my palace tonight?

I heard this palace maid just now say that she has had contact with people in my palace? Does this mean that what happened tonight was led by me?"

After Lan Fei was finally able to speak, she asked about the doubts in her heart.

"Princess Lan, you are a master of palace fighting, and I have underestimated you.

"Shu Fei thought that by framing me and Xian Fei and provoking a conflict between us, she could reap the benefits, but she didn't realize that she was just a mantis stalking a cicada while the oriole was waiting behind."

Looking at Lan Fei with an innocent face, Hu Xiaomeng felt that she disguised herself too well.

"Sister Imperial Concubine, I really have no words to defend myself this time. This is such a big game that it has involved all four concubines.

If possible, please give me half a cup of tea, and I will investigate the matter of the waist badge thoroughly."

Concubine Lan looked at the imperial concubine frankly. She also wanted to find out what was going on.

[Master, this Concubine Lan is either a very good actress or she is truly innocent.]

Ling Guoguo couldn't see through Lan Fei. There was no panic on her face. She was so calm as if the whole thing had nothing to do with her.

"Ling Guoguo, you made me realize the saying 'It seems like everything has been said, yet it seems like nothing has been said.'"

After hearing what Ling Guoguo said, Hu Xiaomeng rolled her eyes at it.

Seeing that Concubine Lan was already interrogating the people in her palace, she sat aside and observed the expressions of the palace servants.
