The moment Concubine Shu heard Mu Xue call her Master, she realized what she had missed.
Qian Zhong was unmoved by Mu Xue's advice to him to sit down and drink. The Tianshan Snow Lotus Pill was so important to Xue'er. Without it, the probability of Xue'er's eye disease recurring would increase.
"No more?" Qian Zhong didn't reply to Mu Xue's question. Instead, he stared at Tian Lan, who was pale and had her head lowered. "Who did you give the Tianshan Snow Lotus Pill to?"
"I...I gave it to Concubine Shu."
Tian Lan finished speaking hesitantly, and when she felt Qian Zhong's gaze shift away, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"What a coincidence."
Concubine De looked at Concubine Shu with a faint smile.
"The reason why all the sisters are ill is because they went to the Dowager Concubine's palace that day. Now Miss Tian has given the Dowager Concubine such a precious pill. It's no wonder that Sister Shufei thinks Miss Tian's entry into the palace is related to the Dowager Concubine."
No one in the palace was stupid. After being reminded by Concubine De's words and considering her behavior just now, they began to think about it.
How could the late emperor's favorite concubine really be a kind and harmless person?
"This explains why the Concubine Dowager pleaded for Miss Tian and refused to allow the imperial physician to see her. It turns out she took the Tianshan Snow Lotus Pills."
Concubine Shu sighed at this point, "Poor little princess, she almost got branded as a monster because of this."
"I know you and Concubine De are worried about the little princess, and I did ask the emperor to forgive Miss Tian, but I don't know why you came to this conclusion that Miss Tian is related to me."
Concubine Shu was calm and smiled as she spoke, as if everything really had nothing to do with her.
"The Concubine is asking whether you have taken the Tianshan Snow Lotus Pill."
Concubine Xian, who was beside the emperor, asked.
"That's a good question, Mother. Even though the old woman didn't eat it, she's worried that if Doctor Qian takes the Tianshan Snow Lotus Pill back, she'll definitely say she did."
Seeing how calm she is, I'm afraid she's already thought of a way out. In that case, let her suffer a little.
Sure enough, Concubine Shu’s answer was the same as what Yu Yiluo thought.
"have eaten."
"Empress Xian, the Concubine Dowager did take the Tianshan Snow Lotus Pill, but the pill was given to you by Miss Tian. You didn't know she had stolen it."
Xiao Shize explained from the side.
Empress Xian was worrying about how to talk about Xiao Shize, and her brows furrowed slightly when she heard this.
"I am speaking to the Concubine Dowager, you have no right to speak."
She glanced at Xiao Shize lightly and said, "The emperor has been merciful and spared you, but you should still understand some etiquette. You are not a secret guard now, and you follow the concubine all the time. Are you trying to ruin her reputation?"
"Your Highness Empress Xian is right. I know I am wrong."
Xiao Shize clenched his hanging hands into fists.
The dog emperor even broke one of his legs, how could he be merciful?
"Please forgive me, Toffee."
Concubine Xian handed a grape to Yu Yiluo and said calmly, "You servant really don't know the rules. I'm worried that he might bring bad things upon you, so I'm scolding him."
"Empress Xian, you mean well. He was the late emperor's secret guard before, so he might not be used to it yet. I will make him learn more about the rules when I return."
Everyone thought that Empress Xian wanted to confront Concubine Shu directly, but Empress Xian just nodded lightly and stopped talking.
While the two were talking, Mu Xue whispered to her master to sit down, and then she spoke softly.
"The ladies in the harem are all sick because of the incense and lilies in your bedroom, the Dowager Concubine. That's why the Defei and Shufei think this is related to you, the Dowager Concubine."
How many people actually found evidence?
Mu Xue is a disciple of the Divine Doctor Valley, so it is not difficult to find out.
Fortunately, she had been planning for so long, so she naturally thought of a way out. Did they think they could do anything to her with just this one thing?
You really underestimated her.
"Lily and incense?"
Putting away her thoughts, Concubine Shu looked surprised, "How could that be? I gave the incense to Doctor Lin, there's nothing wrong with it, and the lilies were from Concubine Xian."
[No wonder he insisted on borrowing flowers and plants from his mother. It turns out he was already thinking about today's plan back then, and even asked Miss Huang to plant the flowers and plants.]
[What a meticulous mind, clearing himself so cleanly from beginning to end.]
[It's okay, you picked it all off yourself, but Xiao Shize will suffer.]
"Eunuch Cao, bring the things here."
The emperor at the top gave orders in a deep voice, and soon Eunuch Cao brought the lilies over.
"I was the one who sent these lilies to the greenhouse for cultivation."
Concubine Shu looked at the lilies brought by Eunuch Cao.
"The lilies and the incense you made were used together. The ladies inhaled the mixed fragrance, which caused symptoms such as chest tightness and palpitations."
Mu Xue paused here, looked at Zhou Cainv, and continued, "Some people have more severe symptoms because they are closer to the incense and lilies."
Zhou Cainv had fallen to the ground in the center of the hall. If she still didn't understand what was going on, she would be a fool.
It wasn't Concubine Xian and the others who wanted to harm them, but Concubine Shu who wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
The other concubines looked at Zhou Cainv crying silently in the center of the hall. They felt sad and realized that Concubine Shu was not a good person.
Fortunately, they did not act rashly, otherwise they would have become victims of Concubine Shu's attack on Concubine Xian and others just like Zhou Cainv.
"So that's how it is," Concubine Shu said with a look of self-blame, "I didn't know it would be like this. This incident was caused by me, and everyone else has suffered with me."
[Look at what I said, maybe I'm trying to say that I've suffered too, so I really don't know.]
Yu Yiluo rolled her eyes silently.
"It seems like a true coincidence," Concubine Xian knew that continuing to talk wouldn't change the outcome, so she smiled and said, "Don't place flowers in your house anymore, Concubine Dowager. If you develop any symptoms, people will gossip about you. It's the work of an evil spirit."
Concubine Shu just nodded. The purpose of her coming to the banquet today was to watch the show she had planned for a long time. Now that the plan has failed, she has no intention of staying any longer.
As for Tian Lan, today is the little princess's first birthday, and the emperor will not get rid of this person.
She had to go back and think carefully about how to deal with Concubine Shu and the Emperor in the future.
If this matter fails today, it means that several people will definitely find ways to get rid of her.
Just as I was about to stand up, I heard a clear voice.
"Your Majesty, since ancient times, it has been inappropriate for men to serve in the harem. The fact that Concubine Shu had a man serving close to her has long been criticized."
"Therefore, I beg you to remove this person from the Dowager Consort's palace for the sake of the royal family's reputation and the Dowager Consort's reputation."
Li Yunhe bowed slightly.
"Your Majesty, this person is no longer a secret guard. It would indeed be criticized if he served beside the Concubine Dowager."
Jin Ting'an stood up and said, "If Concubine Shu wants to touch Luo'er, she'll have to suffer the consequences first."
This person used to be her secret guard and must know a lot about her. Getting rid of him is equivalent to cutting off one of her hands.
With the two taking the lead, the others stood up one after another.
Concubine Shu's body stiffened slightly. Since these people couldn't touch her, they wanted to touch the people around her.
If it was anyone else, he would definitely not blink an eye and let the emperor deal with it, but this person is her only confidant now.
