Chapter 48: Suicide Note
At this moment, she remembered the palace maid who rushed into the palace and shouted something happened when she and Prince Ning left Huixi Palace.
That was the person she sent to keep an eye on the cold palace.
If she had stopped and asked clearly at that time, perhaps the current situation could have been reversed.
And what about the Queen? She clearly sent someone to Fengming Palace to pass on the message, so why hasn't she shown up after so long?
If she had come to investigate, the matter would never have reached such an irreversible point.
And as for the Emperor, she had no intention of involving him in this matter at all.
How did he know about the accident in Lenggong?
......
While Lin Fu was checking on the young maid in the cold palace, Concubine Xian was trying to find a breakthrough by pushing the matter backwards.
Chu Qinshu yawned and pretended to be sleepy.
She wanted to go into the space to check the Queen's schedule for today.
In the original book, the Empress's investigation into this matter caused quite a stir.
But now, she didn't even show her face, which is really abnormal.
"Little Gourd, check the Queen's schedule for today."
Chu Qinshu went straight to the study room after entering the room. When Xiao Hulu heard his master's instructions, he immediately looked up the queen's name.
The Fengming Palace in the picture made Chu Qinshu feel uncomfortable.
No wonder the Queen didn't care about the affairs of the Cold Palace.
It turns out that Fengming Palace is almost becoming the second cold palace.
"Master, where is your ability to ward off beasts? Quickly control these evil creatures."
The queen stood on the couch with no trace of her image.
Several maids of honor surrounded her, each holding a broom in their hands, constantly helping her drive away the mice that tried to get close to her.
"Your Majesty, my beast-controlling ability can only control the birds and beasts in the Worm Valley. It's not easy to control ordinary things outside."
The Imperial Master's shiny head was already covered in cold sweat.
Ever since the incident with the crow, he had been busy expelling insects for the queen for nearly a month.
I didn't do any of my own work.
"I don't care. If you don't help me get rid of these things, I will be eaten by them until there is nothing left. How will you explain to the emperor then?"
The queen grabbed the imperial teacher's monk robe, as if she would not let him go unless he agreed.
"Your Majesty, please be patient. I will think of a solution later."
The Imperial Master looked at the torn window papers and screens in Fengming Palace, as well as the corners of tables, stools, and cabinets that were gnawed by mice...
Lost in thought.
He had already sealed the exit of the Queen's worm valley, making it impossible for the birds, beasts, insects and ants inside to get out.
The rats that appeared overnight were so destructive that they were obviously controlled by someone.
Is it possible that in Sheng'an country, there are people who are as good at fighting beasts as he is?
But among the descendants of their Gu Shi lineage, anyone who could rival him is no longer alive.
"Your Majesty, please have someone follow me to get the medicine. Dissolve the medicine in the cleaning water and use the water to wipe the floor. Any snakes, insects, rats or ants that come into contact with it will die."
The imperial teacher racked his brains but could not come up with a permanent solution.
He could only harden his heart and take out the secret medicine he developed to temporarily solve the dilemma.
"Okay, I'll let you go, but you need to come up with a thorough solution as soon as possible, otherwise..."
When the queen woke up in the morning, she had someone carry her to this couch. Until now, she has not only not washed, but she has not even dared to go to the bathroom.
She really couldn't hold it in any longer, so when she heard the Imperial Master say there was medicine, she immediately agreed.
"Yes, I will come up with a solution as soon as possible."
After the Imperial Master agreed, he left the main hall and ran away as soon as he walked out of the door.
He didn't stop to adjust his breathing until he escaped from the range of Fengming Palace.
Alas, as a national teacher, he usually pays attention to his image.
"Little Hulu, what happened to Fengming Palace?"
After the Imperial Master left, the Empress stood on the couch, looking forward to it, thinking that there would be no progress on this matter until the person who went to get the medicine came back.
Chu Qinshu stopped staring at the video and started chatting with Xiao Hulu.
This plot does not exist in the original book.
Could it be that she read a fake book?
"I don't know either. Is there a spiritual spring in Fengming Palace? But that doesn't make sense. Who would spill spiritual springs all over the floor if they had them?"
Little Gourd plucked the two leaves on its head, still puzzled.
It had just looked carefully and saw that wherever it could see on the screen, the ground was filled with rats.
Everyone was standing on stools or couches, except for the area around the Imperial Master's feet where there were no rats surrounding him.
If it had not been sure that the same situation had not occurred in other places, it would have suspected that the earth dragon was about to turn over.
"Is it easy to get a spiritual spring?"
Chu Qinshu asked, the ancient well in her space was obviously dry, how could there be a spiritual spring in Fengming Palace?
"Of course not. Spiritual springs are something you can only encounter by chance. In this world, apart from you, the master, there is absolutely no other person who can possess spiritual springs."
Little Gourd was very sure about this matter.
There aren't many spiritual treasures in the underworld like it, and it knows exactly who has what abilities.
Including this one, there are no more than three places with spiritual springs, and they are scattered in thousands of small worlds.
It is almost harder for them to meet each other than going from the underworld to heaven.
"Oh, I hope it's not a spiritual spring."
Chu Qinshu patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
She is still so young. If the queen has the spiritual spring again, what can she use to fight her?
"Master, you must have confidence in yourself. The Queen cannot defeat you."
Xiao Hulu saw Chu Qinshu's worry and tried to comfort her diligently.
It has followed so many masters and never failed in a mission, so it dares to lie down more and more.
"Yeah, I have a lot of golden legs now, so she can't beat me."
Chu Qinshu patted her chest again, saying that she was very good.
Seeing that the queen was trapped in Fengming Palace, she did not stay in the space for long and soon regained consciousness and woke up.
"Your Majesty, please let Mou'er go this time. He really didn't mean it. He will never dare to do it again."
As soon as Chu Qinshu opened her eyes, she heard Concubine Xian's crying and shouting.
Does this mean giving up resistance and resorting to emotional attack?
"No hurry, we can talk about it later when the person Lin Fu pointed out comes back."
Emperor Yongping noticed that Chu Qinshu did not sleep as long as usual and glared at Concubine Xian with disdain.
It must be that the old woman was crying too loudly and disturbed her.
"I think there is no need to wait. Since the maid is being threatened, her family will agree with her and will certainly not say anything that is beneficial to Mou'er."
Concubine Xian was determined to save her reputation and started to make a scene to beg Emperor Yongping for mercy.
Alas, she had just gone over the matter from beginning to end several times and had not found any breakthrough.
If she continued to investigate, not only would she not be able to save her nephew, she might even lose her life.
After much thought, she decided that life was more important.
"Your Majesty, the people have returned and found this in the maid's house."
A eunuch came in from the side door and handed Lin Fu an envelope.
Lin Fu checked it up and down before tearing open the seal and taking out the letter inside.
It turned out to be a suicide note, signed with the name of the palace maid.
"Take it to Concubine Xian for review."
Emperor Yongping took it and read it quickly before handing it back to Lin Fu.
When Concubine Xian heard his tone, her heart skipped a beat.
It’s over. Could she be right?
