Chapter 5 Let me see what's going on
Hearing her thoughts, Xia Shuyi and Lu Yanshi both pricked up their ears.
On the contrary, no one paid attention to Xie Ruizhu's crying.
[Oh my god, the Xie family is so arrogant. ]
[They actually created a White Lotus Cult, which is now quite prestigious among the people. The people are obsessed with believing in them. When they are sick, they don’t go to see a doctor. When they are hungry, they don’t go to harvest rice. Instead, they lie down and pray to the leader to bless them so that they can gain eternal life and happiness. ]
[Oh my god, if the White Lotus Sect continues to develop, it won’t take more than three years for my father’s throne to be in jeopardy next year.]
[I don't know whether they want to make a bad woman the queen, or whether they want to become the emperor themselves? ]
[No matter what it is, Daxia is in danger! ]
Lu Li sighed deeply in her heart.
The word "ugly" could no longer be used to describe Lu Yanshi's expression.
Such a big thing, but not a single court official came to report it!
Xia Shuyi was also very anxious. The emperor didn't know about such a big thing. How could she tell him?
Each of them had their own thoughts and neither of them listened to what Xie Ruizhu was crying about.
Xie Ruizhu cried until her tears ran dry, but she found that neither of them paid any attention to her.
She gritted her teeth, secretly annoyed that her subordinates were not doing their job well and why they had not arrived for so long.
Just as she was cursing inwardly, the eunuch who stayed in Yuxiu Palace to help finally arrived.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report." A little eunuch walked in tremblingly with a box in his hand.
"What's the matter?" Lu Yanshi was in a bad mood at the moment, and his tone was particularly cold.
The young eunuch fell to his knees, opened the box in his hand, and raised his hands above his head.
"Your Majesty, I found this item in Yuxiu Palace." The little eunuch was about to cry.
How unlucky he was! He originally wanted to help Concubine Xia move to a new bedroom, but he didn't expect to run into such a big thing.
With so many eyes watching this matter, if he didn't come to report it, his head would be in danger.
"How dare you! Who dares to practice such witchcraft in the imperial palace!" Xie Ruizhu slapped the box away.
The little man in the box, who was stabbed by a needle, rolled to the ground with a "gurgling" sound.
There was a piece of horoscope pasted on the little figure, with Xie Ruizhu's nickname written on it.
Xie Ruizhu widened her eyes in disbelief and threw herself into the emperor's arms.
"Wuwuwuwuwuwu, Your Majesty, someone is trying to harm me. You have to take charge of this matter for me."
"No wonder I was caught in that inexplicable rain when I went to Yuxiu Palace. It turned out to be you who did it."
"Xia Jieyu, you actually used such evil means to deal with me. You have such a cruel heart!"
She nestled in Lu Yanshi's arms, looking at Xia Shuyi with vicious and cruel eyes.
"Your Majesty, if she dares to harm me today, she will dare to harm you tomorrow. Such a person must not be allowed to stay in the harem."
Lu Li on the side pouted angrily.
[It couldn’t have been my mother who did this! My mother is kind and beautiful, this must have been a bad woman who staged this! ]
Seeing how much her daughter believed in her, Xia Shuyi's tears welled up in her eyes.
She choked up and defended herself: "This was definitely not my fault. I hope the emperor can see clearly and clear my name."
In her mind, Lu Li was following the melon-eating system to figure out the whole story of this melon, sighing with admiration as she did so.
[Tsk tsk. This is different from what the storybook says.]
[Aren't they usually cursing the emperor or the empress dowager? This time, it turned out to be cursing the imperial concubine.]
[This is quite new. Let me see what it is.]
Lu Yanshi: ...
She is really his daughter!
He must be wishing someone would curse him.
Xia Shuyi was worried about her own death before, but now she is worried about her daughter. If the emperor heard this, it would be the end.
But then she thought again, only she and Heng'er could hear it, so she felt relieved.
Lu Lisi had no idea of the turmoil in her parents' hearts. She was listening with great interest to the gossip system telling her the gossip.
[Wow! This bad woman is really bold. She even cursed herself. ]
[That’s right, their family has created gods, so why would she believe in these ghost stories?]
[Oh, no, that's not right. This name is wrong. I think she is still very careful about her life.]
Hearing Lu Li's complaints, Lu Yanshi immediately understood.
When Xia Shuyi heard what his daughter said, he was about to pick up the witch figurine to prove his innocence, but he found that the emperor had already ordered someone to present the things.
"Your Majesty! How can you come into contact with such an evil thing?" Xie Ruizhu spoke out to stop him.
But Lu Yanshi said expressionlessly: "I am the true emperor, I have the aura of an emperor to protect me, I am not afraid of evil spirits."
He picked up the little doll directly and found that just as Lu Li said, the name and birth date on it were wrong.
The character "瑞" in Xie Ruizhu's name is missing a "丶", and if you don't look carefully, you will be fooled.
"My beloved, there is no need to panic. This is not your motto." Lu Yanshi said calmly.
Xie Ruizhu never thought that this matter would be discovered by the emperor.
She gnashed her teeth and said, "It must be that this person was too hasty when he was doing it, and he wrote my name wrong. This person is too vicious, and he must not be allowed to stay. Concubine Xia, the things were found in your palace, and you still don't admit your guilt?"
"If it wasn't my doing, why should I confess? Just because something was found in my palace, does that mean I must have done it? I even said that you put it in my palace on purpose." Xia Shuyi pursed her lips and retorted.
"You, you are actually putting the blame on others! Your Majesty, you see, she has gone too far, wuwuwu." Xie Ruizhu started crying again.
[Bah! You clearly prepared this several months ago, just to wait for my mother to give birth to the child.]
[If it's a son, you put him in when the time is right. If it's a daughter, you don't care.]
Lu Li cursed Xie Ruizhu in her heart for being cunning.
[Why hasn't Father said anything yet? He wouldn't have misunderstood Mother, would he? If he dares to wrongly accuse Mother, I will never talk to him again.]
Lu Yanshi felt a little helpless. He did not disbelieve Xia Shuyi.
But everything requires evidence, so he has to order someone to investigate first.
"Okay, I will send someone to investigate this matter myself. The matter has not been concluded yet, so don't slander Concubine Xia easily." Lu Yanshi gently pushed Xie Ruizhu away from his arms.
[Why bother? Just find someone to throw this thing into a frying pan and fry it. The person who made this thing will be attacked and will get abscesses all over his body! ]
【Ahhh why can’t I speak yet? 】
[Wuwuwu, I can't redress my mother's injustice. 】
Lu Li hated herself for not being able to speak, and she wanted to shake her father's head and tell him about this.
When Lu Yanshi heard this, he immediately ordered someone to prepare a frying pan.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean?" Xie Ruizhu was dumbfounded.
Everything today was out of her control and she felt very uneasy.
The emperor did not punish Xia Shuyi, but now he asked someone to get a pot of hot oil. What on earth is he going to do?
