22. Chapter 22: Lady Zhang is offline



[The Queen is definitely getting a sober heroine script! ]

【She is my role model! 】

Role model? Upon hearing this, Concubine Shu raised her eyebrows slightly.

She seemed to have heard this sentence before. It was in... Ci'an Palace. Yao'er also said this when she met the Queen Mother.

Concubine Shu shook her head and chuckled. She really has the nature of a child, so fickle.

Sometimes she is the empress dowager, sometimes she is the queen. I recognize each one as a role model when I see them.

She laughed so much that she couldn't laugh anymore.

Yao'er seemed to have never said that she should be regarded as a role model? At this moment, Concubine Shu felt a sense of crisis.

She must let Yaoer see her strengths.

As a mother, her position in Yao'er's heart cannot be shaken! Chu Yaoyao didn't know that in the days to come, her mother would try her best to show herself.

At this moment, she was recalling the plot about the Queen.

Empress Zhou Jinghui was born into the Zhou family, a family that was renowned for being one of the most prestigious civil officials in Daqi. Old Tutor Zhou had many students all over the world.

Not to mention far away, even in the capital, most of the civil servants in the court were once students of Master Zhou.

Old Tutor Zhou was loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and strictly adhered to the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues.

Actually, there is still a little bit... I don’t know how to adapt.

The queen, who grew up with the old tutor Zhou, was naturally influenced by the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor.

[What kind of love is this? The Queen doesn't care at all. In her heart, she only has a heart of loyalty to her scumbag father. ]

After Emperor Qixuan heard this, his original guilt was gradually replaced by embarrassment.

Okay, I was just being sentimental.

Concubine Shu covered her lips and chuckled. She always felt that the Empress's feelings towards the Emperor were a little strange.

Is that really the case? Putting oneself in the position of a minister? [In the original text, after the death of the crown prince, the queen was overly sad and her health deteriorated, but in order to maintain the stability of the court, she still tried every means to get pregnant again.]

[It was a prince, and she thought she could give birth to another legitimate son, but she was harmed during childbirth, and suffered from severe bleeding during dystocia. Not only did the queen die, but even the child she desperately gave birth to did not live for more than three days.]

Hearing this, the prince held the queen's hand with a distressed look on his face, "Mother."

The queen was stunned for a long time. Jun'er was really weird these days and had become much more sentimental.

Concubine Zhang was captured by several palace servants and kept struggling, "Let me go!"

Seeing her like a madman, Emperor Qixuan looked away with disgust.

"Su Maowen, first lock Zhang up in the cold palace and give her poisoned wine!"

"As for this servant..."

[Interrogate her and find out who is trying to harm my father! ]

Emperor Qixuan held back the words that were about to come out of his mouth and almost bit his tongue.

Someone wants to harm me?!

Concubine Shu stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I saw Cui'er meeting someone last night. That person asked Cui'er to poison Your Majesty when she had the chance."

[Did mother go too late and miss it? She met Cui Er...]

"Oh my!"

Concubine Shu squatted down and looked at her, "Come, let your mother hold you."

After interrupting Yaoyao's thoughts, Concubine Shu glanced at Steward Su without leaving a trace.

Xiao Luzi is Su Maowen's apprentice. If someone tells the emperor that Cui'er and Xiao Luzi are having an affair, Su Maowen might be punished.

Anyway, the little trick didn't lead to a big mistake. At most, I could just remind Su Maowen to be careful about the little trick, and consider it as doing him a favor.

"Someone! Take her away and make sure to find out who is behind this!"

Cui Er struggled hard, shouting, "Mrs. Zhang, I know that your love for the emperor has turned into hatred. It's a pity that I can't complete the task you assigned me."

Concubine Zhang shook her head desperately, "Wuwuwu..." No, how could she possibly harm the emperor? After Cui'er finished speaking, she took out the poison given by Concubine Zhang and drank it with her head tilted back.

After a while, he rolled on the ground in pain, and then blood came out of all his orifices...

Concubine Shu reached out and covered Yaoyao's eyes.

"Su Maowen, have someone clean up." After saying that, Emperor Qixuan left first.

Shufei walked slowly behind the few people holding Yaoyao in her arms. Soon, she met Su Maowen who had finished his work.

"Meet the Concubine Shu."

Concubine Shu nodded slightly, "General Manager Su, actually I saw another person yesterday, it was Xiao Luzi."

Su Maowen raised his head suddenly, "This..."

"Madam Shufei, Xiao Luzi is a little overthinking, but he would never dare to hurt the master."

Concubine Shu thought for a moment and asked, "Really?"

"Yes, I can guarantee it!"

Concubine Shu nodded and said, "General Manager Su has been with the emperor for many years. I didn't tell the emperor about this because I trust General Manager Su."

Su Maowen raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat off his forehead, "Thank you, Madam Concubine Shu..."

"After all, we must be on guard against others. Steward Su should give more advice to those who serve the emperor."

"I'll take note of it."

After Su Maowen left, Concubine Shu looked Yaoyao in the eye and said, "Yao'er, sometimes, there are things that only we need to know, and we don't have to tell them all."

"Even if you have to speak, you have to choose a time that is favorable to you."

[I know. If mother tells father directly, he will be furious and will definitely punish Su.]

[General Manager Su has served the emperor for many years. As long as he has not committed an unforgivable mistake, the emperor will not punish him severely, but he will make him lose face.]

[He might still bear a grudge against his mother afterwards, which would be very disadvantageous to her.]

[But my mother told him about this in private, and he still owed her a favor.]

Chu Yaoyao grinned, "I'll remember this."

[Mother is so smart, so awesome! ]

As expected, the concubine Shu was in a good mood after hearing the praise from her precious daughter! ...

On the other side, Su Maowen went straight to Xiaoluzi's residence.

Xiao Luzi, who was lying on the ground recovering from his injuries, saw him and asked in surprise, "Master, why are you here?"

Su Maowen asked directly: "What's going on between you and Cui'er?"

Hearing this, Xiao Luzi lowered his head shyly, "Master, you know everything?"

Su Maowen was so angry that he poked his forehead hard, "You are confused!"

"Do you know that Concubine Zhang sent Cui'er to Qionghua Palace in order to wait for an opportunity to poison Concubine Shu and the little princess?"

Xiao Luzi was stunned, "What?"

Su Maowen looked at him, and said angrily: "Concubine Zhang and Cui'er met in the cold palace and were caught red-handed! You were deceived by her!"

"I'm warning you. If you're not careful again, don't blame me for disregarding our relationship as master and disciple!"

After saying that, Su Maowen turned and left.

Xiao Luzi struggled to get up, "Master, Cui'er..."

Su Maowen didn't even turn his head, "Dead!"

Cold Palace Cui Er's body had been carried away long ago, and Xiao Luzi only found Cui Er's earrings on the ground.

He sat on the ground holding the earrings in a daze.

After a long while, he covered his face and cried, "Why did you lie to me?"

"Why are you so confused..."

Gradually, the pain in Xiao Luzi's eyes was replaced by hatred.

Suddenly, a person dressed as a palace maid walked in.

"Do you want to help Cui Er get revenge?"
