Chapter 115 You can really endure it!
Meixiangyuan.
"Master, could it be that Concubine Shen used the flower pot just to seize the power of the housekeeper?" Xiu Hua said in a low voice, her words full of confusion.
Shouldn't we use this incident to directly bring down Concubine Fang?
Such a good opportunity, but you only took the right to be a steward?
Isn't this just making a mountain out of a molehill?
"Embroidery."
Lin Baozhu raised her eyes, looking at her eyes that she thought she was making a fuss, and reminded her: "Since you have decided to follow Concubine Shen, you must trust her."
"Can……"
Xiuhua hesitated and tried to speak, but Lin Baozhu interrupted her, saying, "Xiuhua, there have been no children in the mansion for many years, and only Concubine Shen gave birth to a pair of daughters safely. Do you think this is really just luck?"
"Anyway, I don't believe it."
Lin Baozhu raised her eyes and looked at the plum tree in the yard. The layers of lush branches and leaves brought a shade. She believed that Shen Lingshu would be like this plum tree, allowing her to have a child as she wished.
Linwang Mansion, front yard, study.
After Concubine Fang fainted and was carried back to Qiutang Courtyard, she naturally could not be interrogated again. Chu Cong checked carefully and found that these scented flower pots were bought from several stores.
Everything is clearly recorded in the account book.
"Qingwu, take these flower pots and check each store one by one to see if they really came from there." Chu Cong felt something was wrong. Either Concubine Fang was lying, or...
Chu Cong's eyes were slightly cold. Even though she was from outside the palace, he didn't want the woman in his backyard to have a child!
Concubine Fang likes to give people flower pots...
After Qingwu left, Chu Cong called Nanny Hua over.
"Your Majesty."
Aunt Hua bowed and greeted.
Chu Cong asked, "How is Li?"
"Fortunately, Aunt Li was just frightened and had a miscarriage."
Aunt Hua said fearfully, "It's all thanks to that clever girl Biyu that she discovered the musk in the scent of the flowerpot. If she had really bought it, the consequences would have been disastrous!"
Although the prince has children now, they are only two daughters. The child in Li's belly may be a son!
"Madam Hua, tell me, who put the musk in the flowerpot?" Chu Cong lowered his eyes.
"this……"
Nanny Hua pondered for a long moment before saying, "Your Highness, I've been in the mansion for a year and have spent the most time in the Orchid Courtyard. Concubine Shen doesn't use much spices and doesn't like to stay indoors on weekdays, unless it rains."
"Concubine Shen is kind to others, and has a close relationship with the concubines and concubines in the backyard."
Aunt Hua added, "The concubine seems generous, but when Concubine Shen gave birth and had her full moon banquet, she replaced the concubine's room with two new sets of tea sets."
"Madam Li is timid, Madam Qi is jealous, Madam Cheng is soft-hearted, and Madam Lin is in poor health..."
Nanny Hua knew the temperaments of the concubines in the palace's backyard thoroughly. She said, "I don't know who planted the musk, but whoever benefits is the most suspicious."
In her heart, the concubine was the most suspicious. Even if the concubine died today to prove her innocence, it would not be possible for Aunt Hua to erase her suspicion.
Nanny Hua added, "Of course, it's not ruled out that it's someone outside the palace who doesn't want the prince to have children."
Chu Cong summarized his words, tapping his bony fingers lightly on the table. "This matter will be thoroughly investigated by the prince. Thank you for your hard work, Madam."
"That's what an old slave should do."
Aunt Hua bowed slightly and said, "I will go back to take care of Aunt Li."
After Nanny Hua left, every bit of information and news was delivered to Chu Cong.
Concubine Fang was suspected, but after investigation, it seemed that those flower pots were purchased by Concubine Fang normally.
Since this matter concerned offspring, Chu Cong had been staying in the study, investigating the entire matter thoroughly.
Qiutang Courtyard.
"Concubine, are you finally awake?"
When Aunt Gui saw Concubine Fang open her eyes, she wiped her tears and said, "Concubine, I was so scared!"
"What time is it?"
Concubine Fang only felt a dimness before her eyes.
"It's the beginning of the Xu hour."
Nanny Gui helped her sit up slowly: "Doctor Lin said that the concubine has lost too much blood and needs to be taken good care of."
Aunt Gui looked at her forehead. The gauze bandaged around it looked scary.
"It's okay." Concubine Fang raised her hand, but as soon as she did so, she felt her vision go dark. She held onto Nanny Gui for a long time before she could see clearly. She asked, "Where's the prince?"
Before she lost consciousness, Concubine Fang still remembered that the prince was suspicious of her and had conspired to make the concubine in the backyard unable to have children.
Concubine Fang grabbed Nanny Gui's hand and asked, "Your Highness, do you believe that I didn't do it?"
"Concubine, don't get excited. You're still injured."
Nanny Gui comforted her and held her hand, seeming to console and remind her: "It wasn't the concubine who did it. The prince will definitely not let anyone throw dirty water on the concubine so easily."
Concubine Fang was stunned for a moment, then said, "Yes, I didn't do it, and no one can blame it on me."
"hiss."
As soon as Concubine Fang leaned on the pillow, she felt dizzy and said, "Mirror, bring me a mirror."
"Concubine Fang, why don't you not use the mirror so late at night?" Cao Lu hesitated. At this time, Concubine Fang had half of her head wrapped in white gauze, looking a little scary.
"Bring it here."
Concubine Fang scolded her harshly. She moved, then held her head and said uncomfortably, "I feel dizzy."
Cao Lu slowly handed the bronze mirror forward. Concubine Fang looked at herself in the mirror and was shocked. She reached out and gently touched the gauze and asked, "How did the prince deal with it?"
“…”
As soon as Concubine Fang said this, the whole room fell silent. Concubine Fang looked at Nanny Gui and said, "Don't be angry, Concubine. The prince only asked you to rest well in the courtyard. The housekeeping power is only temporarily handed over to Concubine Shen."
"The prince still doesn't believe me." Concubine Fang said uncomfortably.
"The concubine needs to rest. Once the prince investigates the matter, she will definitely be fine." Nanny Gui comforted her and turned around to order, "Cao Lu, go see if the medicine is ready."
"yes."
Cao Lu left, and only Nanny Gui and Concubine Fang were left in the inner room. Nanny Gui whispered, "Don't worry, Concubine Fang, the account books have been prepared. I'm afraid that Chen Lingshu, a concubine's daughter, won't be able to understand them."
"Concubine, you must cheer up. We have made so many preparations before, aren't we just preparing for this day when the incident will happen?"
Nanny Gui whispered, "At worst, we can just give up those pawns and save the concubine."
"Um."
Concubine Fang leaned against the bed and said weakly, "After so much precautions, I didn't expect that Shen Lingshu would reveal the matter of the flower pot. No wonder she was able to get pregnant. I'm afraid she knew there was musk in the flower pot a long time ago!"
Concubine Fang clenched her fists tightly and said, "Mrs. Shen is really patient!"
Concubine Fang was overcome with emotion and began to have a headache again. She said, "Madam Gui, please send the account books for the past six months as soon as possible to avoid the prince getting angry."
Concubine Fang stroked her forehead gently, her heart filled with anger. If she didn't avenge this, she would not be Fang Ruoyun!
