Shen Fu walked all the way.
He could still suppress his expression on the road, but once he arrived at the palace, he could no longer bear it.
"It's all my fault."
Xiao Guizi followed all the way and knew what Chen Fu was feeling at the moment.
He bent his knees and knelt down as soon as the door closed: "It's all my fault. If I hadn't been careless, you wouldn't have believed them so easily."
When Xiao Guizi said this, there was a cold look between her eyebrows.
Fang Jinlan and Shu Guipin are both obstacles to the Empress.
It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, Her Majesty wouldn't have suffered such a huge loss today.
Xiao Guizi raised her hand and was about to slap herself.
Shen Fu immediately stopped him: “What are you doing?”
"It's not your fault today. I underestimated the enemy."
Chen Fu was used to having smooth sailing, and thought that the situation with Concubine Shu Gui was a sure thing, and that she would be able to deal with it today.
But she really underestimated Shu Guipin. She didn't expect that she could detect it and escape easily.
"What happened today is really my decision." Chen Fu rubbed her brows with her hands hard. Under her palms, her beautiful eyebrows were tightly knitted.
Xiao Guizi couldn't bear to see the Empress say this about her.
He knelt on the ground and raised his head. His lips opened, but the words in his throat still came out: "My queen, you shouldn't have said that in front of His Majesty just now."
When His Majesty asked Her Majesty to speak, it would have been better if Her Majesty could have mentioned that Concubine Shu had an affair.
Can this incident today turn the tide?
Xiao Guizi didn't finish his words, but the look in his eyes expressed that.
Seeing this, Shen Fu just smiled and said, "Do you think I shouldn't have said that to Your Majesty at that time?"
"I dare not."
Xiao Guizi was so scared that she immediately lowered her head.
Seeing that his face was pale, Shen Fu didn't want to let him continue to guess.
He just said bluntly: "The situation at that time was not suitable for saying those words."
"Your Majesty, don't believe it?" Xiao Guizi raised her head.
"The evidence is insufficient. Concubine Shu acted too quickly at the time and even arranged for the people inside."
Xiao Guizi lowered her head and thought carefully, thinking about the whole thing quickly in her mind.
Fang Jinlan didn't notice anything unusual when she drugged him. It can only be said that Concubine Shu found out after she drugged him.
From the time the drug was administered to the time Fang Jinlan came to expose the matter, there was actually too little time.
If Concubine Shu had not discovered it early and had strong coping ability, today's incident would not have been reversed at all.
"Neither." Xiao Guizi was about to think of something else.
Shen Fu spoke in time to stop him: “Your Majesty just didn’t want to believe it at the time.”
Among the concubines in the harem who cheated on their husbands, this girl was probably one of the few. I'm afraid your Majesty has never encountered such a situation before.
"The situation was complicated at the time. Fang Jinlan looked at me from time to time. I'm afraid Your Majesty must have had some suspicions long ago."
"If I continue to follow her words and criticize Concubine Shu, His Majesty will surely suspect me."
Chen Fu knew very well how difficult it was to gain the Emperor's trust.
If she were to become a noble concubine, it would be too unworthy to erode His Majesty's trust.
"Compared to getting rid of a noble concubine, I still think that His Majesty's trust is more worthy."
Shu Guipin really thought she won.
㱗There is a sense of complacency.
Little did she know that Chen Fu was unwilling to expose her simply because she thought it was not worth it.
"Then, Madam, are you just going to let her go?" Xiao Guizi asked, "The matter of Concubine Shu Gui has not been resolved yet. If it is exposed in the future, Madam will be held responsible."
There has already been a commotion today. If you want to make a fuss about this incident again, it will not be easy.
What's more, Shen Fu still holds the power to manage the harem. If today's incident gets out of hand again, His Majesty will blame her. Judging from the situation today, this incident is probably Shen Fu's fault again.
“My queen…”
I saw worry appearing in Xiao Guizi's eyes.
Chen Fu just smiled and said, "This one isn't that troublesome."
"Have you, Madam, figured out a solution?" Xiao Guizi suddenly raised her head.
A hint of surprise appeared on his face.
Chen Fu met his gaze and said calmly, "Go and call the imperial physician who gave Fang Jinlan medicine that day."
"Imperial Physician?"
Xiao Guizi lowered her head and pondered for a while before she remembered, "Master, who is the imperial physician He?"
Is this Doctor He?
Chen Fu thought carefully about the appearance of Doctor He. She felt familiar with him before, but for some reason she still couldn't remember him.
"It's him." Shen Fu nodded.
"What does the Queen want Doctor He to do?" Little Guizi still didn't understand: "The medicine Doctor He gave me has already lost its effect. If he comes again, I'm afraid Concubine Shu won't be fooled again."
"I have never thought of giving Concubine Shu aphrodisiac again." It would be stupid to say the same thing again.
"Then Madam..." Xiao Guizi wanted to ask again, but met Shen Fu's gaze.
Their eyes met, and an idea flashed through Xiao Guizi's mind.
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he immediately lowered his head to suppress it.
He bowed respectfully and said, "I'll be right there."
Doctor He, please come quickly.
In order to avoid arousing suspicion, Xiao Guizi first took people to take a look at Zi Su before coming over to talk.
Chen Fu heard the noise and when she came out, she saw someone standing in front of the window.
It drizzled on the way here, and the sky was damp. The man just stood in front of the window, and a corner of the imperial physician's medicine had become damp from the rain.
A thin and straight figure stood in front of the window, the cold wind blew on his face, and the angular face looked like it was carved by a knife or an axe, making people feel dazed for a while.
Chen Fu looked at Doctor He's face and smiled.
Just now she was talking about the appearance of Doctor He, but how could she forget such a handsome face.
Thinking of this, Shen Fu's eyes couldn't help but flash: "Doctor He."
The man standing in front of the window came to his senses and turned to face Chen Fu.
The thin man bent down and bowed respectfully: "Your humble servant greets Her Majesty Zhao Fei."
Chen Fu faced Doctor He's face and suppressed the inexplicable feeling of familiarity.
His eyes fell on the bent back, and after pondering for a long while, he said, "Doctor He, do you know why I asked you to come here today?"
Doctor He just stood in front of Chen Fu, his thin figure blown by the cold wind looked particularly lonely.
He pondered and stared at Shen Fu's face for a long while before nodding: "I understand."
Today's feast caused such a big disturbance that the entire palace knew about it.
As the imperial physician of the Imperial Medical Bureau, he himself could not escape.
It would be a lie to say that I didn't know.
Shen Fu likes to be honest.
"Since you know, why don't you guess why I came to see you?"
Chen Fu smiled and looked at Doctor He, then raised the teacup beside her and took a sip: "Speak boldly, I won't blame you."
Doctor He opened his eyes and glanced at Shen Fu's face.
Then he lowered his head.
"Your Majesty, you did not ask me to come here to find fault with me."
He was the one who gave the medicine, and today's mission still failed. If Concubine Zhao blames him for this, it is understandable.
