Chapter 504 What a pity
"But Lihua still has a conscience. She only said that she gave the medicine and that Li Zhaoyi had insulted her, but she did not say that it was Zhen Xiaoyi's instruction." Yuanxiao said.
"Tsk, how pitiful, an unexpected disaster." Shen Chuliu stood up: "Sure enough, the person who can overthrow Liu is not simple."
"After this incident, I'm afraid Li Zhaoyi is not as good as before." Yuanxiao said.
Shen Chuliu sneered: "Of course, the emperor can't continue to favor such a fool even for the sake of the Li family. Just wait and see, she will not lack for things in the future, and she will not sleep with you too often."
It’s difficult to get pregnant again.
If it weren't for being so ostentatious, maybe this baby could still be born. The son of Zhaoyi is naturally noble.
What a pity.
"Master, you are right. Although Ying Xiurong was ugly back then... at least she knew what was right for her. But this one, ah..." Yuanxiao shook his head.
Shen Chuliu smiled and said, "It's not a good idea to underestimate her. Sometimes stupid people do things that are even more unpredictable."
"Hey, Master, don't worry, the servants are all being careful."
In Yufu Palace, the servants were treated well, but they dared not slack off. Yuanxiao was the most concerned, and he would check every place and every person every month. So until now, they have kept it as tight as a bucket.
When Li Zhaoyi found out that it was Zhen Xiaoyi, she was so angry that she started cursing.
But he didn't dare to do anything, after all, there was the Queen Mother.
In Yinyue Pavilion, Zhen Xiaoyi was almost choking with anger, and she felt completely unwell.
"When I fell into trouble, everyone dared to bully me. They dared to throw all kinds of dirty and smelly things at me!"
Xinghua said hurriedly, "Xiaoyi, don't be so angry. You are innocent. This is only temporary. Lihua must have been tortured into confessing, and she dare not say anything nonsense about you. We all know what kind of person she is. Xiaoyi, calm down. Someone must have plotted against you. You can't just let her have her way."
Zhen Xiaoyi was so angry that she finally recovered after a while: "You are right, I can't let anyone scheme against me like this, I still have a child!"
Zhen Xiaoyi wiped her tears and said, "Let me change my clothes. I'll go to Taiji Palace now!"
Outside the Taiji Palace, Layue came out and replied, "Zhen Xiaoyi, please go back. The emperor is busy at the moment."
"I have something to report, you go and talk to me again." Although she was demoted to Xiaoyi, she was still used to speaking in a condescending manner.
However, due to her status, Layue had to go back in.
After a while, he came out and said the same thing, but with one more sentence: "The emperor said that since this matter has nothing to do with you, you don't have to be afraid. If you have nothing to do, go to the Queen Mother's Palace and sit down."
Zhen Xiaoyi gritted her teeth: "Is the emperor really so busy?"
"Look at what you said, what time is it? It's the time when the emperor reviews official documents and memorials. Later, he will meet with cabinet ministers." Laba smiled and said, "How dare I lie to you?"
Zhen Xiaoyi was very angry and wondered why others could interfere with the emperor at this time?
But she didn't dare, so she could only kneel down and said, "Your Majesty, I will take my leave."
When she arrived at the Queen Mother's Palace, the Ninth Prince was there.
She almost cried when she saw the Ninth Prince. She hadn't seen him during the confinement, but she had seen him several times after she was released.
But she was still excited.
The Ninth Prince certainly remembered his mother and was excited to see her. The mother and daughter talked to each other for a long time.
"You don't have to worry. I've asked people to investigate secretly. The more people behind the scenes do it, the easier it will be to be exposed. It's enough for the emperor to know that you are wronged." The empress dowager waved her hand.
"The emperor knows that I am wronged, but he refuses to see me, refuses to make the decision for me, and refuses to set things right..." Zhen Xiaoyi suddenly said.
"Do you know what you said?" The Queen Mother frowned, "As a concubine, the last thing you should have is resentment. Do you resent the Emperor?"
My niece is my biological daughter, but after all, she cannot compare to my son.
Moreover, since Zhen Xiaoyi entered the palace, her behavior has never won the approval of Empress Dowager Li, which shows that she is also disappointed in her.
"I dare not. I said something out of turn." Zhen Xiaoyi lowered her head.
"Grandmother." The Ninth Prince called out.
"Okay, let's stop talking. Jue'er has been studying very well recently, and the emperor has also praised him. You should take a good look at him." Empress Dowager Li waved her hand.
Zhen Xiaoyi agreed and went to the side hall with the ninth prince.
In the side hall, Zhen Xiaoyi sighed: "You see, this is my current situation."
"Mother, don't be sad. One day you will be able to clear your name." After all, the Ninth Prince was still a little ignorant.
"Good boy, you have to know that your mother loves you the most. In this world, no one can love you more than your mother." Zhen Chongyi said while hugging the ninth prince.
The Ninth Prince nodded: "Yes."
While the mother and daughter were talking, in the main hall, Empress Dowager Li said, "Keep an eye on Feng Suxin, keep a close eye on her."
"Your Majesty, do you think it was her?" Nanny Hua was shocked.
"I don't think it was her, but Queen Duanjing died so quietly."
Empress Duanjing was Empress Dowager Feng, who was posthumously honored.
"Now that you put it, it does make sense. I thought so before. After all, she has been in the harem for so many years, it is unreasonable for her to leave nothing behind. Now it seems that she was just holding back before." Nanny Hua shook her head.
"Otherwise, how come we can't find anything about Zhen Xiaoyi's case? She had already planned it out, how could we find any evidence against her?" Queen Mother Li sneered, "Sure enough, she is unwilling to accept this."
"Come to think of it. She has been strong all her life. How can she be willing to die in disgrace?" Nanny Hua sighed.
"Now, I just hope that the Ninth Prince is doing well. These princes are all grown up. In a few years, the Emperor will have to take the matter of appointing a crown prince seriously." Empress Dowager Li sighed, "I can't just ignore it."
"Our ninth prince is studying very hard now, and the emperor often praises him." Nanny Hua said with a smile.
Empress Dowager Li smiled and said that she often praised him, but so did the other princes.
She knew that her son had suffered a lot when he was young, so he was more tolerant towards his son when he grew up.
"By the way, how is the Tenth Prince's illness?"
"Oh, it's not a serious illness. He just ate too much cold food and got an upset stomach. The diarrhea caused the fever." said Nanny Hua.
"Well, just take care of her. After all, I am the grandmother of the princes." said Empress Dowager Li.
"Yes, don't worry. However, the tenth prince is still young, and the emperor doesn't even want to find a mother for him." Nanny Hua was puzzled.
"It's a good thing that he didn't look for one. His Majesty still wants to see what his qualifications are. If the two people were already found, wouldn't there be no need to look at them?" Empress Dowager Li said as she stood up: "I will go change my clothes and ask someone to prepare the meal."
Nanny Hua agreed and went out, and she also understood what Empress Dowager Li meant.
Indeed, the third prince and the fifth prince have already lost the qualifications to compete for the throne.
But in her opinion, the tenth prince is in quite bad shape. He is in poor health and was born prematurely and suffers from many diseases.
"Add a few dishes that Zhen Xiaoyi likes for lunch." Nanny Hua instructed the maid outside.
