When the Empress Dowager heard the confessions of Suyun and Nanny Fei and saw her niece's crazy appearance, she was heartbroken.
But what could she say?
She knew that Xu Xueluo had been killing people in the harem over the years, and she had tried to persuade her many times, but she had no choice but to refuse. Now, look what happened! In the end, she had harmed others and herself, and even lost her own life.
Under the watchful eyes of the public, she couldn't protect herself even if she wanted to!
Seeing the Queen Mother's sad face, Yu Jinshu said to Chu Zan, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Noble Consort is the Queen Mother's niece after all. It would be better to spare her life."
This drug that causes madness is the same drug that my mother Wen took at the time, and no doctor can cure it.
If Wen hadn't discovered that she was a transmigrator from a book and had the antidote in the system, she would have been insane for the rest of her life.
Death is too easy. Making life worse than death is the greatest punishment for Xu Xueluo.
Chu Zan agreed to her request and spared Xu Xueluo's life, but wanted to imprison her in the clan prison for the rest of her life.
Suyun and Nanny Fei still needed to be interrogated to find out who else Xu Xueluo had killed in the past five years. After the interrogation, they would inevitably die, but the manner of their death would depend on how well they confessed.
Xu Xueluo's downfall today deeply shocked all the concubines present.
This also made Wei Ruyan understand that the emperor only had Concubine An in his heart, and she, as the queen, would never be able to get the emperor.
It seems that she can only follow the original plan and find a way to deal with Chu Chenmu.
Since such a thing happened in the Buddhist temple, the Empress Dowager naturally couldn't keep Yu Jinshu there any longer.
The Empress Dowager was heartbroken by Xu Xueluo's condition. Her fake illness became real and she developed a high fever that night.
When his biological mother fell ill, Chu Zan, as a son, naturally had to be filial to her by her bedside.
For several days in a row, the Empress Dowager skipped the visits from the Empress and concubines. Chu Zan was busy with government affairs during the day and visited them in the Cining Palace at night.
It was not until the Queen Mother had recovered from Xu Xueluo's shadow and her health had improved that Chu Zan went to Qingzhuyuan.
Yu Jinshu had a leisurely time in Qingzhu Courtyard these days. The peaches in the peach garden were ripe recently and delicious. She arranged for the palace maids in Qingzhu Courtyard to make a lot of canned peaches, and also boiled several large jars of peach jam and put them in the ice kiln.
She also arranged for people to pick some fresh fruits and send them to the queen and the concubines.
But later on, she heard that none of the empress and the concubines dared to eat the peaches she gave them.
They usually wanted to harm others, so they thought Yu Jinshu would also poison people, not realizing that they were wasting such delicious fresh fruit.
Of course, Yu Jinshu didn't care. She gave them as gifts just as a habit. She didn't care whether they ate them or not.
Chu Zan arrived at Qingzhuyuan very late that night.
Xiao Chao said that Yu Jinshu had already gone to bed, and Chu Zan went to the bathroom to take a shower.
The weather was hot. Yu Jinshu was lying on the couch in a thin, transparent gauze dress, her smooth black hair spread out on the soft pillow. Her skin was porcelain white, her features were delicate, and her figure was exquisitely formed...
Chu Zan felt his abdomen tighten. He loosened his robe and got on the bed gently, fearing that he would wake up his Jinshu.
But Yu Jinshu had already sensed his arrival, and she turned around and hugged him, with her long, beautiful legs resting on him.
What a cute little elf.
A few days ago, regarding the incident in the Buddhist temple, Nanny Fei said that Yu Jinshu was a fox demon, and he almost believed it.
In storybooks, fox spirits are always described as extremely charming. Even if the scholars know that they are fox spirits, they are willing to fall for them.
For him, if his Jinshu was really a fox demon, he would probably fall for her willingly.
After not being together for a few days, Yu Jinshu missed Chu Zan terribly. He bit Chu Zan's lips and murmured, "Is the Queen Mother feeling better?"
She knew that Chu Zan didn't come because of the empress dowager's illness.
If the Queen Mother was ill, Chu Zan would be criticized if he came to her to seek pleasure.
Chu Zan has been in great pain these days. This little devil even took the initiative to hug him and kiss him. How could he bear it?
"The Queen Mother is feeling better." He said this perfunctorily, then tightened his arms around her and kissed her impatiently...
It was a wonderful night, no need to say more.
The next morning, Chu Zan got up and Yu Jinshu helped him put on the dragon robe.
"There are guests coming to the palace today. A banquet will be prepared at noon in the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace. You should go there at that time."
Yu Jinshu asked casually, "What kind of guest is this?"
"It's Prince Xiang and his second son."
Yu Jinshu's heart tightened, and he looked up at Chu Zan: "Prince Xiang Chu Chenmu?"
Chu Zan nodded: "You know?"
Yu Jinshu said: "The royal family still knows something."
She felt uneasy because according to the book, the last time Chu Zan was assassinated, it was Chu Chenmu who did it.
But in the original book, after Chu Zan was assassinated, Chu Chenmu became the emperor.
Because of her arrival, the content of the original book has been completely changed. What is Chu Chenmu's purpose in bringing his second son here today?
Will Chu Chenmu hurt the emperor?
Yu Jinshu wanted to remind him: "Azan, you have to be careful of Chu Chenmu."
Chu Zan was a little surprised. He looked at Yu Jinshu and asked, "Why do you say that?"
Yu Jinshu was helpless. She couldn't say she was a transmigrator from a book! She could only make up an excuse: "I heard that Chu Chenmu is quite ambitious."
The word "ambition" was enough to make Chu Zan alert.
Chu Zan's eyes darkened slightly. He raised his hand and gently pinched Yu Jinshu's smooth, egg-white face, and said with a smile, "I understand. You don't have to worry."
Yu Jinshu smiled slightly. It was impossible for her not to be worried. She felt that she had to find a way to find out the real purpose of Chen Mu coming to the palace.
According to the book, Chu Chenmu must have come to the emperor to adopt his second son, but what was the reality?
