Qiandai shouted out those words with great effort, exposing Lanpin's evil deeds.
She has never wronged anyone in her life, only her master...
Then, she would do something for her one last time. Concubine Lan was as vicious as a snake and was determined to kill her master. She exposed Concubine Lan's evil deeds to let the emperor know what kind of person she was and to be on guard early.
Song Qu was startled by Qiandai's hoarse cry for a moment, and hurriedly asked Xiao Luzi to stop. Qiandai had endured so much torture and had not changed her words, but she was willing to speak at the last moment.
But it was too late. As soon as Qiandai finished speaking, her head tilted and she stopped breathing.
Seeing this, Xiao Luzi was at a loss. Song Qu went up to check his breathing and sighed with regret.
"I don't blame you. She must have made up her mind to die."
Song Qu went to report the matter to the emperor. Gu Qilan sat behind the dragon table with a calm expression. He had always suspected that Concubine Lan was the one who staged the incident herself, but he had no evidence.
It’s a pity that the most important witness is dead.
…
In Jingyang Palace, Concubine Lan entered the hall with a gloomy face.
The palace maids could sense Lanpin's low mood, and they bowed their heads respectfully. Lanpin frowned and shouted, "Get out of here!"
Everyone retreated cautiously as if they had been pardoned.
Biyun stood behind Lanpin with a bitter face. She also wanted to leave, but as her master's personal maid, she could not leave.
"Bitch! Bitch!" Lanpin raised her hand and threw a box of jewelry off the dressing table.
With a loud "crash", everything in the box flew out and shattered into pieces. The fragments of a jade bracelet splashed on Biyun's calf, pricking her.
But she didn't dare to scream or move.
After a long while, Lanpin finally calmed down a little. She didn't know what was on her mind, but she impatiently yelled at Biyun, "What are you standing there for? Come here, I have something to tell you!"
Biyun walked forward as she was told.
"Go find someone to help me deliver a letter to my father." She was under house arrest and could not go out, so she could only write a letter.
The Emperor actually protected that bitch Lan Xiang so much that he was unwilling to punish her even though there was irrefutable evidence. He even distorted the truth and pushed all the blame onto that bitch Qian Dai!
How could she be willing to accept this? In order to get rid of that bitch, she even poisoned her own son. Now that things have come to this, she cannot fail!
…
A few days later, Ning Yuxi was woken up early in the morning by the tossing and turning. Her pregnancy was difficult and her morning sickness was particularly severe.
Not to mention eating, she would feel like vomiting if she smelled the slightest strange smell, and she couldn't eat anything. She had to endure the nausea and eat a little but would vomit immediately, which made her very miserable.
Ruyi looked at Ning Yuxi with eyes full of heartache and couldn't help but say, "Master, let me ask the emperor to come and see you." The emperor hadn't come to see you for several days.
Ning Yuxi felt much better now. She stood up and leaned against the bed, laughing, "The Emperor isn't a royal physician. Will I be fine if he comes?"
Luoying was also worried: "It's not going to work if it keeps going like this. Shall I ask a few more doctors to come and see you?"
Ning Yuxi herself was half a doctor, and knew her condition. She knew that it would be fine after a while, but the morning sickness of this pregnancy was much more severe than the previous two. She didn't know if it was because the poison in the emperor's body affected the baby in her belly.
But the whereabouts of Dr. Zhong are still unknown, and there is no way to find out even if you want to know.
In order to comfort the two, Ning Yuxi agreed to let Luoying go and invite the imperial physician again.
In the afternoon, Ning Yuxi just woke up from her nap and opened her eyes to see the emperor whom she had not seen for many days.
She smiled and was about to stand up to salute, but Gu Qilan quickly held Ning Yuxi back: "Just lie down, no need to be so polite."
Ning Yuxi was perfunctory to begin with, but after hearing what the emperor said, she immediately followed his advice and lay down: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
“…”
Gu Qilan had already figured out Ning Yuxi's character, so he didn't blame her and looked a little helpless.
Ning Yuxi broke the silence: "Why is the emperor here?"
"I heard that you asked for the imperial physician this morning. I have neglected you these days."
What does it have to do with you? My morning sickness has nothing to do with whether you come or not, right? Ning Yuxi thought silently.
"Your Majesty has a lot of things to do, I know. I just have morning sickness, it's nothing."
The emperor must have been so preoccupied with Concubine Jing's affairs these days that he has no time to think about anything else.
There was solid evidence that Concubine Jing poisoned the Sixth Prince. Later, the Emperor said that it was done by Concubine Jing's maid Qiandai and she was executed. Concubine Lan made a fuss in Shengchen Palace but to no avail and was ordered by the Emperor to be confined to her house.
This matter caused a lot of uproar. The emperor obviously favored Concubine Jing, but he could not stand Concubine Lan's relentless pursuit. After all, it was her son who was injured.
Gu Qilan's expression softened, and he raised his hand to stroke Ning Yuxi's thinner cheek: "Xi'er is always so considerate of me."
Gu Qilan stayed with Ning Yuxi for the whole afternoon and had dinner with her before going back.
After everyone left, Ning Yuxi summoned Luoying and asked her to keep an eye on the emperor.
She always felt that the emperor was in a bad mood today, as if he had something on his mind. The emperor never showed his emotions, so what was making him so worried?
Luoying agreed without asking the reason.
But before Luoying could find out anything, Ning Yuxi received a letter from her father.
After reading the letter, Ning Yuxi finally understood that the emperor was not worried about this matter.
My father said that recently Lanpin's father joined several court officials in submitting a memorial to the emperor, saying that the emperor was protecting the guilty concubine and that there was solid evidence that Jingfei was plotting to murder the sixth prince, but the emperor refused to investigate.
Lanpin's father and several ministers jointly advised the emperor to deal with Jingfei.
Although the emperor issued an edict declaring that this incident was done by Qian Dai, there was no evidence after all, and it was obvious to all that Qian Dai pointed out Concubine Jing in public.
The emperor could punish Concubine Lan for making a big fuss, but he could not do anything to those court officials because they were censors, and there has been a law since ancient times that censors cannot be killed.
Not to mention that what they are saying is something that everyone can see.
The emperor ordered them to shut up, so they asked the emperor to punish them, saying that the emperor did not listen to advice, disregarded the law, and protected the guilty concubine.
If the emperor still insists on his own way, then they will all be dismissed. Anyway, the emperor does not listen to the advice of the censors, so there is no point in keeping them.
The emperor really wanted to do this, but after all, they were officials from most of the Censorate, so the emperor still had to be cautious.
It turned out that it was because of this. It had to be said that the emperor really loved Concubine Jing. After all, they were childhood sweethearts. Not to mention that he had ignored the opposition and issued an order to push the blame onto Qian Dai, even now that the court officials had made remonstrations, he still suppressed them.
Ning Yuxi smiled. It was such an enviable relationship.
