Chapter 386: Die, it would be better if everyone died
"Your Majesty, what happened? Today is Jing'er's big day."
Xia Shuyi's words brought Lu Yanshi back to his senses.
"As for Jing'er, I have already informed her in advance. The Queen need not worry." After he answered, he glanced at Lu Heng.
Lu Heng realized that he had been staying here for too long.
"Your son will take his leave." He bowed dejectedly and prepared to leave.
"Remember to act sad. If anyone asks you about Xiaojiu's injury, just say he is in a coma." Lu Yanshi instructed.
"Yes." Lu Heng nodded and walked out.
Only then did Lu Yanshi reveal Kong Fuling's plan.
"What a vicious mind." Xia Shuyi blurted out.
"Well, so I will investigate this matter thoroughly. She can't get away." A hint of viciousness flashed across Lu Yanshi's eyes.
Xia Shuyi was not interested in asking Lu Yanshi how he planned to deal with Kong Fuling, but just whispered: "I will obey the emperor."
"Well, you just need to continue to be sad and pretend that Xiaojiu is seriously injured." After Lu Yanshi finished his instructions, he left Weiyang Palace angrily.
"Investigate, you must investigate thoroughly for me. How could the white tiger escape from the Beast Garden for no reason and attack the Ninth Princess?" Lu Yanshi was furious.
Juan'er in Yinghua Palace was worried when she learned about this.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor won't find out about us, will he?"
Kong Fuling was also very panicked, but she felt relieved when she thought that she was carrying a prince in her belly.
She said calmly, "We didn't do anything to the Ninth Princess, so don't worry. Stay calm and don't let anyone see that something is wrong. Go to Weiyang Palace later to find out how badly the Ninth Princess is hurt."
"Yes." Juan'er anxiously inquired about Lu Li's injury.
Kong Fuling looked at the empty bird cage.
The parrot inside has died, and now the house is empty, with only a cage hanging under the eaves.
"Dead, all dead is better."
She clenched the handkerchief in her hand and muttered to herself.
…
Upon learning that Lu Li was seriously injured, all the concubines in the harem rushed to Weiyang Palace to visit her, but were stopped by the Empress.
"Xiaojiu needs to have a good rest. You don't need to come and pay your respects to me until the truth is revealed."
After hearing what the Queen said, no one dared to disturb her anymore and just sent some things to Weiyang Palace.
Concubine Min, An Miaoyi, asked her family to find a five-hundred-year-old ginseng and send it to the palace, and hurriedly asked her daughter Lu Linlang to deliver it to the Weiyang Palace.
The Ninth Princess is her little god of wealth, so nothing can happen to her.
Xia Shuyi felt warm in her heart when she received this precious gift.
This five hundred year old ginseng is not easy to find, and Concubine Min really wants to save Xiaojiu.
"Go back and tell your mother that Xiaojiu is a lucky person. With Tiannanxing, the miracle doctor, she will be fine." The queen smiled and touched Lu Linlang's head.
Lu Linlang understood the deep meaning of her words, bowed, and went back to tell her mother.
"The Queen has a smile on her face and is as gentle to you as usual?" An Miaoyi received feedback from her daughter.
I thought of it with my daughter.
"Well, I think Xiaojiu should be fine. After all, she is so amazing." Lu Linlang is very confident in her ninth sister.
"That's right, let's just wait and see the show. The harem is about to become chaotic again." An Miaoyi pinched her daughter's cheek.
"Come, check the accounts with mother to see how much money we have received this month."
"Okay!" Lu Linlang followed happily.
…
On the other side, Shouxi Palace.
The fifth princess, Lu Qiongying, was kneeling in front of the Guanyin statue and praying: "Guanyin Bodhisattva, you must protect Xiaojiu and keep him safe."
The Sixth Princess Lu Qionghua also showed a look of worry on her face, but it was soon replaced by doubt.
She went to find her mother.
"Mother, do you think something really happened to Xiaojiu?"
"What do you think?" Shen Liuzheng asked back.
"Probably not. After all, my father didn't let anyone beat Dabai to death." Lu Qionghua expressed his guess.
Shen Liuzheng couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
Qiong Ying inherited her great strength, while Qiong Hua inherited her intelligence.
"Well, go on."
The encouraging look from his mother made Lu Qionghua more confident in his guess.
"Also, every time the Divine Doctor went to the Weiyang Palace, even though he stayed there for a long time, he looked very relaxed. He was not nervous at all like when he treated the fifth princess."
"Well, Qiong Hua is really smart. Mother thinks the same as you do." Shen Liuzheng nodded with satisfaction.
"There may be other hidden stories behind this matter. We just need to do our own things and not interfere, so as not to ruin the plans of your father and the Empress." She instructed her daughter.
Lu Qiongying, who was praying, heard this and ran over.
"Really? Will Xiaojiu really be okay?"
"Well, don't worry. Most likely, everything will be fine." Shen Liuzheng knew the queen better than they did.
With her words, both children breathed a sigh of relief.
…
They were relieved, but Kong Fuling was not.
The Weiyang Palace was heavily guarded and they could not find out anything.
Kong Fuling suddenly became anxious.
"My queen, Liu Wang has been arrested. Do you think he will spit us out?" Juan'er paced back and forth anxiously.
Liu Wang was the eunuch who helped release the white tiger from the beast garden.
"No, if he wants his family to be safe, he must keep his mouth shut." Kong Fuling clenched the teacup in her hand.
However, she still underestimated Lu Yanshi's ruthless methods.
In less than a day, Liu Wang could no longer withstand the torture and confessed.
Lu Yanshi had already known their methods from Lu Li, he was just going through the motions and asking questions as a routine matter.
They didn't say anything, and he didn't care.
It would be much easier if they told the truth.
Early the next morning, Yinghua Palace was surrounded.
"Kong Fuling, who gave you the courage to murder the Ninth Princess?" Lu Yanshi walked in with a gloomy face.
"Your Majesty, I don't know what you are talking about." Kong Fuling calmed herself down and began to protest her injustice.
"You don't know? Ha." Lu Yanshi sneered and ordered Liu Wang, who was beaten half to death, and Yuan'er, the maid from the laundry department, to be thrown in.
"Tell me how Concubine Ling asked you to murder the Ninth Princess."
Liu Wang and Yuan'er looked at Kong Fuling resentfully and told her everything.
"I am innocent." Kong Fuling had not expected that the emperor would find out everything so quickly. The evidence was solid and she had no idea how to defend herself.
"I have already found your Zixiao Zixiao Nishanglan incense in the Kong family, and the palace maid who was sent to you has also confessed. How else do you want to defend yourself?" Lu Yanshi stared at her coldly.
"I did not plot to harm the Ninth Princess. I have no excuse for this." Kong Fuling bit her lip and refused to admit it.
"Yes, you didn't murder the Ninth Princess. You always wanted to murder Rou Meiren."
Lu Yanshi's words made Kong Fuling's face change.
It turns out that the emperor knows everything.
