Such a big man, tears were falling down his face.
Thinking of Qiao Luoluo’s beautiful face and enviable figure.
He regretted not being able to enjoy it earlier.
At the same time, the Ningyuan Marquisate finally realized that they had been fooled by the emperor.
While the emperor praised the Ningyuan Marquisate to the skies, he deliberately forced the queen's family into a desperate situation.
In order to get the Queen's family to come and join them, they took advantage of the Ningyuan Marquis's desire for Princess Shang and forced Liang Yuxiao to divorce Qiao Luoluo. After that, the Liang family would be useless and could be kicked away.
Liang Yuxiao was simply immersed in the pain of missing out on beautiful women and losing wealth and glory, and couldn't extricate himself.
But Ning Yuanhou thought on a deeper level.
That is, the emperor only praised the Liang family in order to take advantage of them, but what will happen now that he has taken advantage of them?
How long can their current wealth last?
The more the emperor likes Concubine Rou, the more he will hate Liang Yuxiao.
His own bad deeds, land invasion, embezzlement of public funds, and connivance with smugglers...
Any one of them could bring down the Marquisate.
But you must never let the emperor know.
On this side, while Ningyuan Hou was worried and anxious all day long, Qiao Luoluo was still in great favor.
Qi Xiuyuan was clinging to her to the point where she was annoyed.
He has absolutely no time for himself. He is indeed an old man and a young woman in love. It is really a headache.
At the same time, the concubines in the palace were also busy.
Each of them showed their special abilities.
Some poisoned her tonics; some tampered with her diet; some put various powders in her clothes.
Qiao Luoluo himself is very careful and usually prepares his meals in the small kitchen.
The food and clothing were carefully checked by the palace maids and servants, and seemed to be airtight.
But in fact, she has always left loopholes, deliberately allowing people to sneak in and do tricks to her.
She used a peace amulet, and the effect lasted for a month.
She can tell at a glance what's wrong.
She doesn't use or throw away problematic items, she just leaves them there.
He never even mentioned a word to Qi Xiuyuan.
Qiao Luoluo had no intention of letting them go, but was preparing to collect them together and punish them together.
She needed a breakthrough, and just in time, someone came running in and gave her the opportunity.
Qiao Luoluo has been in the palace for more than a month. It has been raining heavily these days and the weather is always gloomy.
Candles had to be lit in the house during the day. When the emperor came on weekdays, Qiao Luoluo would have people light a few more candles so that the house would be bright.
When they were together, he played the piano and she danced with the sword; he played the flute and she painted; he recited poems and she sang along.
Endless fun.
After a few days, Qi Xiuyuan felt extremely comfortable as soon as he arrived at Qiao Luoluo Palace, and all the troubles in the court disappeared.
They just often felt sleepy, and the two of them slept together in broad daylight. The Empress Dowager sent people to check on them several times and saw them sleeping with their clothes on.
After a few times, the empress dowager called the emperor over and gently reminded him not to sleep in the concubines' palace in broad daylight.
Even if the memorial is not approved, you cannot neglect practicing martial arts and archery.
Otherwise it will get out and people will laugh at you.
Qi Xiuyuan didn't take it seriously at first, until he went to Qiao Luoluo Palace again and saw her sleeping in broad daylight.
Qi Xiuyuan called her several times before waking her up. The two of them got up and talked for a while. Qi Xiuyuan also felt extremely sleepy.
It was as if someone was pulling his eyelids.
The suspicious Qi Xiuyuan suddenly felt something was wrong and asked her doubtfully, "Rou'er, have you been sleeping all day lately?"
Qiao Luoluo yawned and leaned her head on Qi Xiuyuan's arms. "Yeah, I've been feeling sleepy every day lately. I want to sleep...Brother Yu, lie down with me for a while."
After saying that, she hooked her arm around Qi Xiuyuan's neck and yawned again.
Qi Xiuyuan frowned and immediately called Qing'er over. "Go find Doctor Zhong. Remember, do it quietly so as not to alert anyone."
After a while, Doctor Zhong arrived.
He and his disciples were the most loyal men under the Yellow Emperor.
My life and property are in the hands of the emperor, so naturally I have to tell the truth.
After checking, they found that both of them showed slight signs of poisoning, but they couldn't tell what the poison was.
After checking Qiao Luoluo's diet, bedding, jewelry and clothes, there was nothing wrong with them.
The atmosphere in the room was extremely low. Qi Xiuyuan's face was dark and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Doctor Zhong was also helpless.
Until, a young disciple behind him said, "Master, this doesn't seem to be caused by the food, but rather the smell. Should we check if other palace servants are also poisoned? This will narrow down the scope of investigation."
Doctor Zhong's eyes suddenly lit up and he examined Qing'er and Xianglian as well.
Sure enough, both of them showed signs of poisoning to varying degrees.
This means that the poison was put in something that everyone uses in common.
Then, it cannot be food, clothing, and bedding.
The aromatherapy has also been tested and there is no problem at all...
Finally, the clever little doctor finally fixed his eyes on the burning candle in the room.
After careful inspection, Doctor Zhong determined that there was something wrong with the candle wick!
Poison is an infusion of poisonous plants obtained from abroad.
The cotton wicks were soaked in it, dried, and when burned they had only a very faint aroma that was completely unnoticeable.
Qiao Luoluo usually uses incense and perfume, so she can hardly smell the scent.
However, that thing has an overly strong calming effect.
After using it for a long time, people will often feel sleepy, dizzy and lack energy.
Finally, he fell into a deep sleep forever, his consciousness was clear, but he would never wake up again.
Comparable to a vegetative state.
BANG!!!
Qi Xiuyuan slammed the table and shouted angrily, "How outrageous! How outrageous!!"
The servants in the room knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe.
Qiao Luoluo's tears fell, "Brother Yu, who wants to harm me? Who is it... Wuuuuu... Am I going to die? I'm so scared!"
Doctor Zhong quickly said, "Don't worry, Noble Lady Rou. You and the Emperor aren't seriously poisoned. Just stop using the candles and take some heat-clearing and detoxifying medicine."
Qi Xiuyuan quickly hugged her and kept comforting her, "Alright, Rou'er, don't be afraid. It's okay. I will definitely give you an explanation. I will never tolerate such a vicious method."
As he said this, he waved his hand to remove the candles and investigated secretly.
All the palace maids and servants in Suiyuxuan were taken to the back hall and secretly tortured and interrogated to make them tell the truth.
Qiao Luoluo was crying on the surface, but smiling in her heart.
This time she is not afraid that the person who harmed her will not die.
If he harmed only her, it would be fine. At most, he would demote her and put her under house arrest, or even banish her to the cold palace.
But if Qi Xiuyuan is involved, it means murdering the emperor.
The other party knew that the emperor came to Suiyuxuan every day, but still wanted to make changes there.
It is also justifiable to say that she deliberately plotted to murder the emperor.
Therefore, that person must die.
