Chapter 502: Overwhelmed
The queen has been looking unhappy. This incident happened during the festival. It means that she didn't manage the palace affairs well.
We ate so many things during the Mid-Autumn Festival, it’s hard to find them. If we ate them at the banquet, I’m afraid we can’t find them now.
If it wasn't at the banquet, then we could only check it from Cuiyunxuan.
It was late at night, and Qi Yixiu was also very irritable: "Send everyone in Cuiyunxuan to the Internal Criminal Department. When the truth is revealed, the case will be over. Since Li Zhaoyi is fine, the imperial physician should prescribe some nourishing medicine. It's late at night, and the queen is tired today. I will go back with you. All my beloved concubines should go back as well. Concubine Jing should go back first, and I will go to your place tomorrow."
Shen Chuliu stood up with everyone else, expressed his gratitude and left.
Obviously, the emperor was annoyed.
We need to investigate, but the matter of this bracelet alone is enough to prove that Li Zhaoyi herself is not innocent.
Since he was not innocent, there was nothing he could do for now and he could only suppress it. After all, the Li family was still fighting bandits in the southwest.
Shen Chuliu knew what was going on, so he went back safely. It was getting late, so he was too lazy to appreciate the moon.
I went back, washed up and lay down.
"Master, was this really done by Li Zhaoyi? She is courting death by doing such a simple thing." Jimei said.
"I overestimated her brain after all." Shen Chuliu said.
"But it is true that she had a miscarriage. Who did it?" Jimei was curious again.
"It's hard to say who it was, but there must be a lot of people who don't like her. Let's see who did it. It seems that Li Zhaoyi had the intention to harm me from the beginning, but now that she has gotten into trouble, she has brought the matter forward."
"Yes, otherwise why would she put so much effort into the things we send her?" Jimei said.
"From now on, no matter when, there is no need to send anything over." Shen Chuliu said.
"Yes." Ji Mei nodded and pulled the quilt over Shen Chuliu: "It will still be cold at night, Master, have a good rest."
Two servants were transferred to Li Zhaoyi's place, and the rest were taken to the Internal Criminal Department.
It’s not true to say that she wasn’t nervous, but she was indeed a victim and she still felt wronged.
How could she accept that she was gone before she could even see her belly? She did take advantage of the situation, and she wasn't sure who was the one who harmed her, but she didn't care. As long as she could make Concubine Jing fall out of favor, she would take over.
After all, among the four concubines, Concubine Jing was the most favored.
Unfortunately, the effort failed.
Li Zhaoyi touched her empty belly, feeling sad and angry.
She is still young, so she doesn't have to worry even if she has a miscarriage. She has a family background and will have a baby sooner or later.
Didn't my elder sister also have a miscarriage at that time? My elder sister was stupid, that's why she ended up like that. But she was a Zhaoyi when she entered the palace. As long as she gave birth to a child, she would raise it herself.
With this thought, she fell asleep, not worrying too much about her slaves.
The next morning, after the emperor finished his morning court session, he received the files sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The people around Li Zhaoyi could not withstand the torture and naturally confessed everything.
Fortunately, Li Zhaoyi had only been in the palace for a short time, otherwise these people would have confessed more.
Li Zhaoyi's biggest resentment was Concubine Jing's rudeness to her, and what she wanted to do most was to pull Concubine Jing down.
So when she received the reward from Concubine Jing, she started to think about her worries.
It was only recently that I came up with this idea, which is to boil the bracelet in a pot.
As for the medicine, it was naturally brought in from outside and was not originally for my own use, but it works the same no matter how I use it.
As long as I can make Concubine Jing's life miserable, that's enough.
Unexpectedly, she was killed before she could make a move.
The first thing she did after the miscarriage was to put the blame on Concubine Jing, without caring who actually did it.
Qi Yixiu was impressed by this brain.
"Send it to the Queen to see. How was the investigation yesterday?"
"To reply to Your Majesty, these are not things from the banquet. After the banquet, something happened and we dared not touch those things that had not been cleaned up. I asked everyone to check, but nothing was found wrong. I'm afraid the problem is still in Cuiyunxuan." Chusi said.
"Then investigate carefully and continue the trial." Qi Yixiu frowned: "I just don't believe that such a thing could be done out of thin air?"
"Concubine Jing has been accused for no reason and has been wronged. Reward her with a lunch. Then go to my storehouse and select a pair of Ruyi to send to her. Give her all the eyebrow pencils this year, except for those for the queen and concubine."
"Well, leave one box for Su, and give the rest to Concubine Jing."
"Hey!" Chusi responded and went.
I thought that there was a limited number of eyebrow pencils every year, and the better the ones, the less likely you would get one.
Concubine Jing likes to dress up the most, and she does use a lot. But except for the queen and concubines, all the things were given to Concubine Jing, so there are still too many. This is to let Concubine Jing use it to reward others.
However, this wish is not something that everyone can get.
Shen Chuliu smiled after getting the thing and was still happy.
Everything that happened yesterday was clear on the spot. She even slapped Li Zhaoyi three times. It was amazing that her period came early this morning.
No wonder he's been so irritable lately, turns out he was just making a fuss.
Li Zhaoyi had been in the palace for so long, and Shen Chuliu felt really refreshed after receiving these slaps.
So her menstrual period this time was extremely comfortable.
He was even happier after receiving the reward, and immediately drew long eyebrows on his temples.
Of course, this is just a description. Will it still look good if the hair really turns gray?
But it was indeed a tall and long eyebrow. After carefully drawing the eyes, he stood up and said, "Change my clothes and go to Taiji Palace. Tell Yan'er to eat lunch by herself. I probably won't be back."
She knew very well that the Sixth Prince came back for dinner because of her, not the food.
No one in Ruiqing Palace would dare to treat him badly.
Shen Chuliu went to Taiji Palace. The emperor happened to be free, so he smiled when he saw her: "My beloved concubine is here."
"Your Majesty, how are you?" Shen Chuliu walked over with a smile, "Your Majesty has given me so many eyebrow pencils. I was itching to paint, so I drew some for you to see."
Qi Yixiu stood up and took her outside.
She was naturally fair, with skin whiter than snow, and now with her eyebrows drawn with this light-colored eyebrow pencil, she looked even more alluring.
Qi Yixiu has always liked her fancy eyes the most.
Mei Jieyu learned this when she first came in, but unfortunately she didn’t grasp the essence of it.
To this day, Concubine Jing is the one who paints eyes the most beautifully in the entire harem.
The other women tried to imitate her, but unfortunately their paintings were either not good-looking or not bold enough.
But the woman in front of me has countless tricks.
As long as she wants, with her already delicate and beautiful face, she can be gentle when she wants or fierce when she wants.
Like today, tall long eyebrows, upturned eyes, and bright red lips.
Qi Yixiu lifted her chin, touched her red lips, and smiled: "My beloved concubine is stunning."
"Your Majesty is the same." Shen Chuliu smiled, raised her foot and kissed the emperor on the face.
Qi Yixiu hooked his arm around her waist and said, "My beloved concubine, you are so well behaved today. I am flattered."
Because of the epidemic, I am really irritable, so I will update the minimum of 4,000 in February. It's not that I will give 4,000 every day, sometimes it's 4,000 and sometimes 6,000. I will try my best to give 6,000. But I really can't calm down. Love you guys.
