Chapter 104: Scheming against Shu Fei 1

Three days later, on a fine afternoon,

The Concubine Chen had just finished her lunch and was about to rest.

Yingxiang hurried in to report, "Madam, Xiying is here."

Concubine Chen uttered a light "hmm" and motioned Yingxiang to bring the person in.

When Xiying came to see the Concubine Chen in the past, she was always timid.

But today, as soon as you enter, you can see the smile on her face that can't be hidden.

She bowed deeply to Concubine Chen and said with secret joy:

"Congratulations, Madam! Congratulations, Madam!"

"What are you talking about, you bitch?" Yingxiang interrupted her angrily before she could finish her words, "The Emperor hasn't come to see the Empress for three days, and you're still here to congratulate her?"

'Peng'

Yingxiang had just finished speaking when she heard a dull sound behind her.

She turned around suddenly and saw that it was the Concubine Chen who had thrown the teacup on the table, spilling tea all over the table. She was now glaring at her with a fierce look.

Yingxiang then realized that she had said the wrong thing. She lowered her head and quietly cleaned up the table.

The Concubine Chen then turned her gaze to Xiying, "Tell me, why am I so happy?"

Xiying said, "Noble Lady Song has offended the Empress, and I'm afraid she has also offended others! Someone has poisoned her."

"Oh?" Chen Fei felt that this was new to her, and asked with a sneer, "Is she dead?"

"This..." Xiying shook her head with a little regret, "Noble Lady Song was lucky. Xiao Fuzi beside her knew a little bit about medicine, and he discovered the clues."

Yingxiang asked again: "What kind of poison was given to her?"

Xiying replied, "Lady Song has been listless these past two days, always sweating and frightened at night, unable to sleep. She felt something was wrong, so she conducted a thorough investigation in her residence. As a result, Xiao Fuzi discovered that the fresh flowers that were replaced in her room every day had been tampered with. I listened carefully, and Xiao Fuzi said that it seemed that someone had added something called Lihunsan into the pistil?"

The Concubine Chen, who was originally listening leisurely, immediately became alert after hearing the three words "Lihunsan".

Even Yingxiang's face turned gloomy for a moment, and she almost knocked over the teacup she had just picked up.

Later, after the master and servant exchanged a glance, Yingxiang said to Xiying:

"The queen knows about this. Go back and keep an eye on her to see if she makes any more moves."

After sending Xiying away with a few words, Yingxiang asked all the palace servants to go out and serve, then she carefully closed the doors and windows, and then lowered her voice and said to the Concubine Chen:

"My queen, why would someone give Concubine Song the Soul-Separating Powder for no reason? That thing was clearly used by us on Concubine Yang in the past, how could it be..."

Not only Yingxiang had this question, but Chenfei also found it very strange.

At that time, Concubine Yang was arrogant because of her favor. She took advantage of the fact that Xiao Jingheng favored her and dared to challenge her openly.

The Concubine Chen couldn't swallow this humiliation, so she secretly put Soul-Separation Powder in Yang Guiren's food, turning her into a lunatic without her realizing it.

Lihunsan is a kind of poison produced in Miaojiang. It is colorless and tasteless. Once the effect of the medicine takes effect, even famous doctors will not be able to find out the cause.

So no one knew why Concubine Yang went crazy until she died.

The Concubine Chen used this trick to get rid of Yang Guiren, but she could not use the same trick again in the palace in the future.

Otherwise, it would be easy for people to link the two things together, and a thorough investigation would inevitably implicate her.

But she didn't expect that today someone would use the same method as her to murder Song Zhao?

She said, "It's obvious that someone is secretly trying to imitate my method and murder Song Zhao while plotting against me! If Song Zhao hadn't been lucky enough to discover this in advance, if she really went crazy, I'm afraid the emperor would have suspected me first!"

In this palace, it has always been she, the Concubine, who plotted against others. Who would dare to plot against her?

The concubine was so angry that her face turned blue.

Yingxiang also took a breath of cold air, and soon she had doubts in her heart, "Is it Shu Fei?"

"Who else could it be if not her?" Concubine Chen slammed the table in anger and said fiercely, "The only concubines in Wenquan Villa now, besides me, are Song Zhao, Xiao Guiren and Shu Fei! When Yang Guiren died, Song Zhao and Xiao Guiren had not yet entered the palace. Only Shu Fei knew about this!"

She narrowed her eyes slightly, and clenched her fists on the table. "She seems to be so listless all the time. I underestimated her!"

"So what is your Majesty going to do now?"

"Idiot! Hurry up and get someone to bring Song Zhao to me! The emperor reprimanded me a few days ago because of her, and I gave her a lot of cold looks. If I let her run to the imperial court and tell the emperor about this without thinking, the emperor will inevitably think that I am jealous and hateful. Then I will really be speechless!"

Yingxiang agreed immediately and trotted over to take people to capture Song Zhao.

But before he left the inner chamber, he heard a palace maid outside say:

"Your Highness, Concubine Chen, Noble Lady Song is outside asking to see you."

"Hurry, let her in!"

When Song Zhao came, she was holding a bunch of blooming flowers in her hands. Compared with the colorful flowers, her face looked extremely ugly.

The concubine pretended to be calm and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Song Zhaoyi bowed and said in a deep voice: "The flowers in my hand were picked by the palace maids from the flower garden. I change them every day in the palace. I thought the fragrance of fresh flowers would calm my mind, but since I placed these flowers in the inner hall, I always can't sleep well at night.

Later, my friend Xiao Fuzi accidentally discovered the cause of my insomnia and nightmares. It turned out to be these flowers!"

Song Zhao moved the bouquet closer to Concubine Chen.

The concubine was as if facing a formidable enemy. She immediately covered her nose with her hands and said, "What are you doing? Hold it away!"

Song Zhao took back some of the bouquets and continued, "These flowers have been tampered with by someone who added Soul-Separating Powder into the buds. The flowers were placed indoors, and when they fully bloomed, the pollen would float in the wind, and people would feel palpitations and worries when they smelled it. If people are harmed by this poison every day, I'm afraid that within ten days or half a month, they will become a crazy lunatic!"

After saying that, she held up the bouquet and moved closer to Concubine Chen, "If you don't believe me, ask someone to check it out!"

Concubine Chen knew the power of Soul-Separating Powder, and Xiying had already informed her in advance, so she preconceived that the bouquet of flowers was indeed mixed with Soul-Separating Powder.

Therefore, she didn't even have the patience to test it and quickly gave Yingxiang a wink.

Yingxiang covered her nose, snatched the bouquet from Song Zhao's hand, and then ordered the palace servants to take it out and crush it to pieces, throwing it as far away as possible.

After finishing all this, the concubine finally felt relieved.

She rolled her eyes at Song Zhao and said with a cold smile: "So? Do you think I want to harm you?"
