Chapter 268 The truth of that year

The golden hairpin returned to the Queen Mother's hands, and she lowered her head and looked at it quietly for a long time.

Back then, she also had a good sister in the palace.

The two of them supported each other through the most difficult days. Later, when she became pregnant again, that man stayed by her side, trying his best to protect her and let her give birth to the prince smoothly.

Later, she felt grateful and wanted to do her best to help her regain a place in the old man's heart.

They had agreed that no matter whose son became the crown prince or emperor in the future, they would remain good sisters for life.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. When she was eight months pregnant, she fell while walking in the garden and had a miscarriage. There was no way to preserve the pregnancy, so she had to try to induce labor.

Unfortunately, the emperor was still young at that time, and he had a high fever for two days, so she had no way to leave.

By the time she had settled the emperor down and rushed to the man's side, her lower body was already bleeding profusely and was in an extremely dangerous state.

She still remembers the look she gave her, one that was filled with hesitation, disappointment, and the deepest regret and resentment.

It was all too coincidental, a coincidence that made people doubt and resent before they died, and then deny everything they had done.

It's not that she didn't investigate privately later, but during those days of chaos and war, she simply couldn't spare the energy or manpower.

When they finally had the time and energy, they could no longer find anything unusual; all traces had been covered up.

She still doesn't know who caused the death of one friend and two others, and who blamed her for it all, causing her friend to look at her with resentment for a long time before he died.

This past event happened so long ago that she thought she had completely forgotten it.

She slowly stroked the golden hairpin, which had long lost its luster, with her fingertips and sighed softly.

"If Hongyu were still here, given her personality, she would definitely ask us to play cards and joke with her every day."

Concubine Zhang, who was just stopped by her, smiled awkwardly: "Yes, yes, if Concubine Su was still here, it would definitely be very lively."

"What a pity," the Queen Mother looked at Lu Xinran meaningfully, "Why did she fall down for no reason back then?"

Concubine Zhang could hardly hold on to the awkward smile on her face. She lowered her head in embarrassment and dared not say another word.

At this moment, Lu Xinran was like a shark that smelled blood and instantly became energetic.

Palace fighting!

This is definitely a palace struggle!

She opened the booklet excitedly, ready to turn to the empress dowager's booklet first to see what was going on.

[Su Hongyu, the Queen Mother’s best sister in the palace, she was able to give birth to the emperor in the cannibal harem all because of Su Jieyu’s help. 】

[She was grateful in her heart and sincerely wanted to help her friend, so she tried her best to get Su Hongyu back in favor.]

[Well, this drama of the sisters teaming up to win the emperor's favor is fun to watch, but it's too easy to make people jealous, isn't it? ]

[In the harem, the emperor's favor is the foundation of the concubines' lives. Not only did she help Su Hongyu regain the emperor's favor, she also secretly gave her a prescription for fertility and helped her conceive a dragon heir.]

【This……】

When Lu Xinran saw this, he couldn't help but sigh.

Based on her experience from watching several palace fighting dramas in her previous life, she knew that their success would surely arouse the jealousy of others.

Then comes a round of various frame-ups and suppressions, and even if you plan it intentionally, you will be skinned alive if you don't die.

After she sighed, she immediately turned the pages and after seeing the young emperor suddenly having a high fever and then Su Hongyu falling in the garden, she immediately sighed, "As expected."

[Su Hongyu lived for a day and a night. When she died, the whole room was filled with a pungent smell of blood. I'm afraid all the blood in her body had drained out.]

[Still one body, two lives lost. The imperial physician couldn't even save the baby in her belly. ]

[No one knows whether Su Hongyu is carrying a prince or a princess. The Queen Mother always thinks of Su Hongyu's hateful and unwilling eyes before she died when she wakes up in the middle of the night these years.]

How miserable!

The more Lu Xinran looked, the more he sighed. This harem was indeed not a place for people to stay.

The Shufei and Huafei before the dog emperor, as well as the Chenfei who was sent to the imperial mausoleum, were not good people. I don't know how many concubines they harmed, and even the empress was plotted against by them.

The more Lu Xinran thought about it, the more she sighed. After the empress dowager heard her talk about the past, she was waiting for her to flip through the booklet about the three people in the palace.

She has been trying to find out what happened back then, but it was so long ago and some of the palace maids from that time are no longer around.

After a thorough investigation, she narrowed her suspicions down to three people in the palace.

Lu Xinran's heart felt like it had been repeatedly scratched by a kitten's claws, and she was eager to know who had killed Su Hongyu.

There was no need for the Queen Mother to guide her with words; she was already quickly flipping through the booklets of the three people.

[This Concubine Zhang... The former imperial physician Zhang Yun of the Imperial Medical Bureau is of the same clan as her, and that Zhang Yun is the imperial physician who has been diagnosing Su Hongyu's pulse. ]

[Zhang Yun had a skill that he never mentioned to outsiders, which was that he could diagnose the gender of the baby by pulse.]

[This kind of ability could easily lead to murder in the harem, so he never mentioned it to anyone. However, Concubine Zhang was from the same clan as him, so she accidentally learned about it.]

[In the third month of Su Hongyu's pregnancy, Concubine Zhang knew the gender of her baby, which was also a prince.]

[After she learned about this, she was so jealous that she couldn't sleep for several nights. She only gave birth to a princess who died young. After her daughter died, the old emperor never visited her again.]

[She has no chance of regaining the favor of the Holy Spirit or having another child.]

When the Queen Mother heard this, she clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves.

So, was it this Zhang Qian who killed Su Hongyu? !

She shot a cold look at Concubine Zhang, who shrank back and dared not look her in the eye again.

Lu Xinran had the same doubt in his mind, and the traces of Concubine Zhang's booklet had already been found.

[Well, but this Concubine Zhang only dared to hold a grudge in her heart, but she was greedy and afraid of death, and did not dare to make any unnecessary calculations. ]

[But she was too angry and jealous that Su Hongyu could get pregnant smoothly with the help of the Queen Mother, so she secretly told Concubine Xu and Concubine Wei that Su Hongyu was pregnant with the prince. 】

[These two people...]

She flipped through the book again and found that what followed was just Concubine Zhang's resentful and angry mumbling, so she decisively closed her booklet and opened the booklets of the other two.

It was not difficult for her to read two or three people's pamphlets at the same time, especially since the system had also been whetted and started to work.

It only took a moment for One Man to reveal the truth.
