Chapter 153: Taken to the Internal Criminal Department
"Why does the Queen have to protect her? I am just..."
"Shut up!" Qi Yixiu smashed the tea bowl on the ground: "Get out!"
Concubine Feng was so frightened that she hurriedly left without even saying goodbye.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I will not dare to hide anything." Shen Chuliu knelt down and said, "I have always used this sachet. I think... Your Majesty should also see the stock. I hung it on the side of the bed."
"I don't like the same scent, so I change it every now and then. Every time I get it from the Bureau of Treasures. Sometimes it's a gift from the Emperor. This time, I didn't take it seriously, I just thought it was a little strong. It was my maid Zhemei who discovered something was wrong."
Just happened to hear about what happened with Ying Cairen today, so I opened it directly, and found musk.
"I think the bait has a strong flavor. How long has Lady Jing been using it?" asked the imperial physician.
"This one is new, but I've been using it for more than a month." Shen Chuliu said.
The imperial physician nodded and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, how about I take Lady Jing's pulse? After all, this thing is harmful to the body."
The imperial physician knew that he had to check today. He took the initiative to calculate it.
Qi Yixiu said, "Lady Jing, please get up. Imperial physician, please take a look at her."
Shen Chuliu agreed and asked the imperial physician to take his pulse.
They sat in the back, and soon the imperial physician said, "There is indeed musk residue in Jingmei's body. From what I have seen, it has been more than a month."
In fact, saying "more than a month" is just a casual remark. The exact length of time can only be longer, not shorter.
The imperial physician didn't want to interfere too much in the affairs of the palace.
"So, it was Concubine Jing who used musk herself?" Concubine Yi said softly.
Shen Chuliu was very clear about the palace women's ability to confuse right and wrong. Sometimes it was as if they didn't understand what people were saying.
"What is Concubine Yi trying to cover up by being so eager to convict me? Everyone knows that Concubine Yi made me kneel as punishment. Could it be that Concubine Yi did it?" Shen Chuliu asked.
"You are slandering me!" Concubine Yi said angrily, "How dare you frame me!"
"Of course I dare not, but why did Concubine Yi slander me as soon as she came? Could it be because you are a second-rank concubine and I am just a beauty? Concubine Yi is in a hurry to slander me, so I can only suspect that it is Concubine Yi's handiwork. I used musk and became infertile, so doesn't that mean you got what you wanted?" Shen Chuliu's eyes turned red as she spoke.
As everyone looked at this, they actually began to doubt Concubine Yi.
After all, the relationship between Concubine Yi and Concubine Jing is not very good now.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I dare not do that. I am innocent!" Concubine Yi hurriedly stood up.
"Shut up!" Qi Yixiu said coldly: "Lady Jing, did I ask you to come and quarrel with me?"
"Your Majesty! I can't have children anymore, wuwuwu, I'm holding on, but Concubine Yi still wants to slander me like this. Concubine Ying found musk here, did Concubine Ying have a miscarriage? I actually used this thing, and I can't have children for Your Majesty in the future, wuwuwu, Your Majesty is too partial. Concubine Yi can slander me like this, wuwuwu, I don't accept it!"
Shen Chuliu knelt down but turned his head away.
Concubine Yi looked at her with an unpleasant expression, then looked at the emperor: "Your Majesty, I did not..."
"You have! You are a second-rank concubine, and the emperor has trusted you and respected you since you came to the palace. I just heard that the emperor dotes on you and only gave you the title! Who in the palace doesn't envy you? It's just that I have slept with him more these days. That's because Li Jieyu and the others are pregnant. You can't stand it? You also mocked me when I paid my respects. Today you come to slander me without knowing right or wrong."
"Shen, you still dare to act so recklessly!" Qi Yixiu said angrily.
"Your Majesty is too partial! I cannot bear children and cannot cry, but Concubine Yi can slander me..." Shen Chuliu's face was covered with tears, and she looked like her heart was broken.
"Okay, it's Concubine Yi's fault. Get up. It's only been over a month, how can you not give birth? Why don't you get up?" Qi Yixiu looked like he couldn't stand it anymore and was about to go crazy.
"Really...really?" Shen Chuliu was probably tired from crying and shouting, and she burped.
"Aren't you getting up yet?" Qi Yixiu looked at her.
She then said aggrievedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The queen looked at it for a long while, and then spoke: "In fact, it is just the handkerchief. Other evidence does not prove that it is you. You have this medicine here, so it probably has nothing to do with you. You should talk about your handkerchief first. It is such a simple matter. Just explain it clearly."
"Yes, I was excited. The handkerchief belongs to me, but wasn't it lost in the summer? I lost several this year. But this one is definitely from the summer. Look at the material, it's so old. I don't use such a handkerchief in winter. You can check it out."
That's made of ice silk, definitely not something for winter.
"First, I don't use this handkerchief in winter. I don't come out to do bad things, so I deliberately bring something I don't need. Second, although I am just a beauty, people in the palace know me. It's not convenient for me to come here to do bad things. I can't come in person. If I don't come in person, how can I have my handkerchief? Moreover, the person behind this sent this thing to me. I'm afraid he is waiting for the Queen to search the palace and find it. Then I can kill two birds with one stone. If it can't be found, I can use it..."
Shen Chuliu was very depressed.
"Okay. Doctor Lin, how is her health?" Qi Yixiu waved his hand.
"To reply to Your Majesty, it seems to be fine now. Just take good care of yourself and don't touch it in the future. It will be fine in a month or two." Doctor Lin said, and added: "It will not affect fertility."
Shen Chuliu's eyes lit up: "Thank you, doctor."
Whoever sees it will be filled with infinite joy.
Qi Yixiu shook his head in his heart, this woman was really making trouble.
"Your Majesty, what Lady Jing said makes sense," said the Queen.
"Well, who picked up the handkerchief?" Qi Yixiu asked.
A little palace maid came out tremblingly: "Reply...Reply to the emperor, it is you, the servant."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this is Ji Yunxuan's maid, and she has only been transferred here for over a month." Juxiang explained hurriedly.
The one who was brought into the palace is not a fool. At this moment, he knows that things have turned around. I'm afraid it's not the work of Concubine Jing, so it's best not to offend anyone.
"Another month?" The Queen smiled and said, "Let's check."
The little palace maid was so frightened that she couldn't utter a word. Her teeth were chattering so hard that they made noises.
Li Jieyu asked, "You little girl, you didn't say anything, why are you so scared? Is there really something wrong?"
The girl became even more nervous and couldn't utter a word.
"Take him to the Internal Affairs Department." The Queen said indifferently.
