"My lady, I don't know who Miss Zisu offended to be killed like this."
Chen Fu sat in the chair without saying a word, but her palms in her sleeves were kept tightly clenched.
She was confused.
Or maybe she was too confident, thinking that no one in the harem would dare to compete with her, so Shen Fu relaxed her vigilance.
So much so that someone dared to attack her people openly in front of the gate of Hehuan Palace!
The imperial physician arrived soon.
In addition to Doctor Wang, whom Chen Fu specially invited, there were two additional people.
The three imperial doctors looked at Shen Fu, who was sitting in the chair in good health, then turned to look at Zi Su, who was lying on the bedside, and were stunned for a moment.
It was the leading doctor, Wang, who walked over first, took Zi Su's pulse, and checked the wound on Zi Su's head.
Shen Fu didn't dare to look just now, but with the help of this imperial physician, she was able to see clearly.
There was a big hole on Zi Su’s head!
The blood flowed along the hair onto the pajamas. No one knew how long it had been flowing, but the white pajamas were now bright red.
Even though the imperial physician was prepared, he still gasped when he saw the wound on Zi Su's head.
"My lady, the wound on this girl's head is too deep and she is bleeding too much."
Doctor Wang checked the patient's pulse again and waited for a long time before coming forward and saying, "Although the patient is still breathing, I cannot guarantee whether he can wake up."
Shen Fu's palm tightened on the armrest.
"Thank you, imperial physician." Chen Fu looked at Zi Su lying on the bed. The hairpin stained with blood was still on her. The hairpin that Chen Fu had given her before was also on her.
"Please trouble the imperial physician to take care of it." Chen Fu stepped forward and held Zi Su's cold palm: "This is my sister's. If you can save her life, I will not treat you unfairly."
When Doctor Wang heard what Chen Fu said, he turned around and looked at Zi Su with a little surprise.
He had been to the Hehuan Palace several times before.
He knew that this was the maidservant beside Concubine Zhao, but what he didn't expect was that Concubine Zhao thought so of this maidservant.
"I will definitely live up to your expectations."
Several imperial doctors were watching there. Shen Fu looked at them silently for a while before leaving.
As soon as she came out of Zisu's inner room, Shen Fu couldn't help but take a deep breath.
The small room smelled of blood.
Shen Fu didn't dare to think about what Zi Su had gone through this afternoon.
So much so that she was met with such a cruel attack that she was tried to be killed.
"Where did Zi Su fall?" Xiao Guizi hurriedly took Chen Fu there.
"It's right at the entrance of our main hall." There were two stone lions at the entrance of Hehuan Hall. When Zi Su fell down, he was blocked by the stone lions.
Those who went out to look for people, going back and forth, did not notice the person behind the stone lion.
Someone still smelled the blood and came over to take a look, only to see Zisu lying on the ground.
Xiao Guizi helped Chen Fu over, with two palace maids holding lanterns beside them.
"My lady, look." Xiao Guizi personally held the lantern to show Chen Fu: "This stone was used to hit Zi Su."
Xiao Guizi picked up the stones on the ground and brought them to Chen Fu.
The hard parts of the stone were stained with blood. Chen Fu could almost imagine how much force the murderer used to hit Zi Su's head so hard.
"That person acted with the determination to kill someone."
Shen Fu looked at the stone on the ground, murderous intent in her eyes.
Zi Su has been with her since she was a child. They are not sisters but are very similar to each other.
Ruo was a man who dared to take action in public in the Hehuan Palace.
It's so audacious!
"Look around again." Chen Fu didn't know what she was looking for, but she just wanted to see if there were any clues left here.
Several people searched carefully along the stone lions, and Chen Fu personally held a lantern and looked at it bit by bit.
The palace maid behind her suddenly pointed at the grass on the ground and said, "My lady, here."
“There’s something here!”
Chen Fu looked over hurriedly, and Xiao Guizi followed the maid's hand and picked up the thing: "Madam, it's an earring."
Xiao Guizi opened her palm towards Chen Fu, and saw a small pearl earring placed on her palm!
*******
The news of the maidservant beside Shen Fu's death was kept secret.
The next morning, Xiao Yu had just come out of the morning court when he saw from afar Chen Fu and her men blocking the gate of the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
"What happened?" Xiao Yu was sitting on the dragon chariot. When he saw someone standing at the door in the distance, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Empress Zhao, she..." Lin An, who was standing by, felt even more dizzy.
Last night, His Majesty was reading memorials until midnight and no one dared to disturb him.
He had only heard about what happened in Hehuan Palace the previous night on the morning of the 14th, but he did not mention anything because he knew it was only a palace maid.
I had planned to mention this to His Majesty after the morning court session, but no one expected that Concubine Zhao would come in person.
From a distance, Lin An felt uneasy when he saw Chen Fu's figure.
He lowered his head to glance into the distance, then reported to the Emperor in the sedan chair.
"I heard that the person is still unconscious. I'm afraid Concubine Zhao came here because of this palace maid."
After Lin An finished speaking, Xiao Yu felt relieved.
Fortunately, the person who showed up was just a palace maid.
But then he thought of something and his expression changed again: "Who did you say it was?"
"Miss Perilla." Lin Anqiu.
He said that Perilla was brought into the palace from outside by Chen Fu. Although the palace maid looked silly, Concubine Zhao was very kind to her.
The one who showed up was Perilla, so Concubine Zhao must be very worried.
Xiao Yu obviously thought of this, so he didn't even sit in the sedan chair and hurried downstairs: "Why are you waiting here?"
There was still a light mist in the early morning.
In the early morning of autumn, there was a chill in the wind. Chen Fu was dressed very simply, with a cloak embroidered with green calyxes draped over her thin body.
Seeing Xiao Yu, she did not reply, but bowed to Xiao Yu and his men and said, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."
His Majesty felt a little distressed when he saw Shen Fu bending over in front of him.
He subconsciously tried to hold Shen Fu's palm, but she dodged it.
"I have a request to see His Majesty, but I am afraid that His Majesty will avoid me on purpose like he did yesterday."
"That's why I have no choice but to block the door."
Chen Fu's words made Xiao Yu's expression change.
"I didn't mean to..." He paused halfway through his explanation.
He was hiding from Shen Fu yesterday.
The more I explain, the more pale it becomes.
"Your Majesty is deliberately avoiding me." Chen Fu raised her head to His Majesty: "Even if Your Majesty doesn't say it, I know it in my heart."
Chen Fu raised her head towards Xiao Yu, before the Emperor's expression changed.
She said again: "I came here today to ask for your Majesty's favor."
Xiao Yu knew that Chen Fu was still angry, so he didn't say anything. He just stepped forward and pulled Shen Fu up: "I just found out that you went out of the palace."
Otherwise, how could he bear to leave Shen Fu there alone?
"Don't worry, I will definitely find you a husband." Xiao Yu held Chen Fu's hand: "If you have any grievances, let's go into the house first."
Chen Fu shook her head at His Majesty, lowering her eyes, her voice carrying a hint of grievance on her delicate face: "If His Majesty doesn't want to see me, I won't enter the room."
She was talking about yesterday's incident.
His Majesty did not see her yesterday and gave her the cold shoulder. Even if someone asked her to go in, Shen Fu would not go in.
She stood at the gate of the Palace of Heavenly Purity on purpose.
Shen Furu didn't want to offend His Majesty yet. But she still took yesterday's love to heart.
His Majesty just didn't see her yesterday, and yet someone dared to attack the people around her.
If she really offended the Emperor and lost his favor, Shen Fu didn't dare to think about what kind of life she would live in the future.
A hint of pain came from the clenched fingertips.
Chen Fu raised her head and said to His Majesty: "It's just that I have something to ask of you every day."
As she spoke, she waved to the nanny behind her: "It is no longer safe for me to leave the palace. I have nothing to do, but Tuan'er is still young."
"I dare not put him in danger."
Nanny Bai came forward holding the Fifth Prince. Chen Fu picked up the baby Tuan'er and put him in His Majesty's arms: "Until I find the murderer, Tuan'er will be in His Majesty's care."
When Xiao Yu looked up, he found a baby in his arms.
When he came to his senses, Chen Fu had already left with her people. Her back was resolute, without any trace of nostalgia.
Xiao Yu wanted to shout, but couldn't open his mouth.
He could only stare at the Fifth Prince in his hands.
"Your mother doesn't want you anymore."
The baby in her arms pouted, hoarsely raised his voice, and immediately burst into tears!
