Chapter 89 Is It Really Shupin?

Seeing how the Emperor of Great Chu treated Concubine Shu, Xiangyun mustered up her courage.

"When Concubine Shu gave me the incense burner, she only said that the spices inside were poisonous. If I dare to put it in Concubine Chen's palace, it will be considered as a proof of my loyalty."

Xiangyun stopped talking here, and the Qingyun Palace suddenly fell silent. Everyone was stunned by Shupin's action.

The only one who could speak out was naturally Lu Xingwan's own thoughts.

[Is Concubine Shu crazy? This is the first time I've seen a palace maid being asked to prove her loyalty in this way.]

[You might as well just let her die, it would be quicker. ]

[Xiangyun is also a fool. Shupin is clearly trying to use you. Even a child like me can see it. If this thing succeeds, you can help her get rid of my mother. If this thing fails, she can completely push the matter onto you.]

[Where did Father find these abnormal women? First it was Consort De, then Consort Yun and Consort Fang, and now Consort Shu.]

[Ah, it's not easy for father, to be with these silly women every day.]

As he said this, he turned his head and looked at the Emperor of Great Chu. There was something... a look of pity in his eyes.

The Great Chu Emperor was even more helpless. He was the ruler of a country, the supreme ruler, so how could he allow a little girl to pity him? This little girl was actually his daughter.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Xiangyun was afraid that the Great Chu Emperor would drag her down and beat her like he did just now, so she hurriedly continued, "I know that the Imperial Concubine is always the most compassionate to the servants, so I dare not harm her."

"But I thought the poison was in the incense, so I poured it out and replaced it with some other spices. I didn't expect that the poison was in the incense burner."

Xiangyun kowtowed and cried, "I deserve to die. I shouldn't have entered the inner chamber of the noble concubine. I should have reported it to the queen."

But no one paid any attention to her.

After a moment, the Great Chu Emperor spoke: "Meng Quande."

Meng Quande winked at the young eunuch who was covering Shupin's mouth, and the young eunuch quickly let go of his hand and stepped aside.

Shupin was already frightened just now, and now she didn't even dare to speak.

"Now I ask you to speak but you refuse to say anything?" The Great Chu Emperor spoke. Although his tone was light and light, it made Shupin feel like she couldn't breathe. She finally adjusted herself and took a deep breath.

However, she was interrupted by the Great Chu Emperor: "If you are going to lie, then don't say it. Just go to the Ministry of Punishment directly."

"I dare not," Shupin knelt on the ground, giving up all thoughts. "I want to know the real cause of Defei's death, so I asked Xiangyun again and again."

"This time... this time I was deceived by the maid beside me," she pointed at Yuxiu behind her, "She told me to test Xiangyun in this way to prevent Xiangyun from being planted by Concubine Chen. I trusted her so much that she even prepared the spices. She told me that they were just ordinary spices and were only used to test Xiangyun."

After being silent for a long time, Concubine Chen Gui finally spoke: "So Concubine Shu is using me as a tool to test the palace maids?"

"I dare not, please forgive me, Your Majesty." Shupin was now at a disadvantage, so she was very respectful.

But Concubine Chen Guifei didn't fall for it.

"You have disliked me from the beginning. I also know that you have two daughters, but their status is lower than mine, who have no children. Naturally, you are dissatisfied."

"For the sake of the two princesses, I have been tolerant of you in every way, but you have become even more aggressive."

"When I first took charge of the six palaces, you always offended me. I punished you once, but I didn't expect you to be unrepentant."

"Today, someone poisoned me again. I guess you are also involved in Mr. Yun's matter!"

When Concubine Shu heard Concubine Chen mention the matter of Concubine Yun, her heart seemed to be about to jump out, and she tried to control her voice: "Your Majesty, I am wise, although I am on good terms with Concubine Yun, I dare not get involved in the matter of witchcraft."

Before Concubine Chen Guifei could speak, Lu Xingwan arrived late.

[Come on! You and Mr. Yun are as close as one person. You are inseparable except for eating and sleeping.]

[Everything Mr. Yun did in the past was instigated by you, but this one thing has nothing to do with you? ]

Concubine Chen Guifei's tone was still cold, and she looked at Concubine Shu as if she was disappointed with her husband's failure to make a good match. "Concubine Shu, if I don't have evidence, I won't say anything about this."

Only then did Shupin look up at Concubine Chen Guifei, and saw that her eyes were full of determination.

Suddenly, he collapsed like a deflated ball.

"Song Qingyan, I really hate you. Why is your position higher than mine? Why should I be inferior to you? You are just relying on having a good sister and a good family. Without them, what are you?"

[You are such an unreasonable woman, but your words sound familiar? ]

【Ah, when I was in the immortal world, some people saw that I did nothing all day but was at a high level, and said to me, "If you were away from your master, how could you have reached this point?" Yes, I rely on my master, so what? If you have the ability, you can find a master like this! In this case, there are probably many people who want to harm me out of jealousy.】

[Mother, too. She has good parents, a good sister, and a good family background. Why would she give it up?]

[Besides, even if my mother is singled out to be compared with you, she is thousands of times stronger than you. You are just an evil woman who only knows how to harm this and that in the harem, while my mother is a general who can go into battle and kill the enemy! ]

Lu Xingwan's words made the Emperor of Great Chu excited.

After saying this, Shupin kowtowed in the direction of the Great Chu Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I am indeed dissatisfied with Concubine Chen Guifei, but the poison today was not made by me. Everything I said is true. The poison was indeed made by me, a maid."

Qiong Hua, who was standing by, had long been fed up with the maid behind Shupin, and she had just slapped him in the face!

He then took hold of her and lifted her forward to Shupin's side.

Shupin was naturally angry. If it weren't for her, how could she have come to this point? She slapped her in the face and said, "Speak."

Now I am afraid that I won’t be able to have a good ending.

Yuxiu was not afraid when she saw this, and she actually laughed out loud: "Concubine Chen, it is you who caused Concubine De to be banished to the cold palace and lose her life. I want you to die and be buried with Concubine De!"

"Why? You were both conferred the title of Imperial Concubine together. Now you are doing well and can manage the six palaces, while Empress Defei can only die unjustly in the underworld."

Then he pointed at Shupin and said, "And you, you were disrespectful to Defei in the past, I want you to be buried with me!"

"She just gave birth to two money-losing things, yet she dared to challenge the Empress Defei."

After the girl finished speaking, she burst into laughter again, which seemed a little crazy.
