But she had no time to recall.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Concubine Shu hurriedly ran out of the door picking up her things.
After she left, someone came out from the corner.
"They are biological sisters after all. Concubine Shu is really cruel."
Xiao Guizi looked at the place where Shu Guipin had just disappeared and took a deep breath.
Looking at the person who had fainted on the ground, Xiao Guizi took a step back and said, "Doctor He, come and take a look."
He Congyu squatted down and turned over Fang Jinlan's mouth and nose to check.
"The person is not dead." He Congyu withdrew his hand.
Xiao Guizi instantly breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I'll have to trouble Doctor He."
We must not only keep Fang Jinlan alive, but also prevent Shu Guipin from becoming suspicious.
Then Fang Jinlan will have to suffer.
Xiao Guizi looked at the man who had fallen to the ground and had fainted long ago, but there was no sympathy in her eyes.
"Sister Zi Su was hurt so badly by you. You are here to stand at the ghost's door, which can be regarded as revenge for Sister Zi Su."
He Congyi paused while holding the medicine, and asked again, "What does the queen want from her?"
Xiao Guizi reacted and a smile immediately appeared on her face.
"Your Majesty hopes that she will not die. This is what Your Majesty promised her. But Your Majesty also does not want her to have an easy life."
He Congyi nodded: "I understand."
After Xiao Guizi finished speaking, she turned her gaze to He Cong.
This Doctor He seems to be different from others.
The thought only flashed through my mind.
Xiao Guizi looked at Fang Jinlan who had fainted.
Evil will be punished by evil, and it is no pity that this man should die today.
*************
After Shu Guipin returned home, she began to feel uneasy, but there was no news from the Ministry of Punishment that Fang Jinlan had died.
She wanted to send someone to investigate, but was afraid of alerting the enemy.
She was too panicked at the time and was afraid of being exposed. Again, the figure that she saw flash by in front of her eyes seemed familiar to Shu Guipin, but after she came back, she still couldn't figure out who it was.
Shu Guipin didn't dare to act rashly again and could only wait anxiously. Fortunately, she stuffed some more silver into her pocket and finally got what she wanted.
I finally bought the news from the Ministry of Punishment.
"Fang Jinlan is not dead."
After hearing the news, Concubine Shu was so frightened that the teacup in her hand almost fell to the ground.
But then, the eunuch who delivered the message said, "The man is not dead, but he is mute."
"How could it be?" Concubine Shu stood up suddenly.
The young eunuch got the benefit and fawned on her: "Madam, it doesn't matter whether the person is dead or not."
"The key point is that the person became mute and could never speak again from then on."
"Mute?" After hearing that the man was not dead, Concubine Shu's panic disappeared completely.
She sat down slowly.
It’s okay to be mute. Once mute, that mouth will never say anything she doesn’t like to hear again.
She looked at the fawning eunuch in front of her, relaxed and allowed herself to be rewarded.
After the man disappeared, she gritted her teeth and sighed, "This bitch is lucky."
"Even strychnine can't kill her."
Shu Guipin rubbed her brows with a headache, and Zhou Linghai silently pinched her shoulders behind her: "It doesn't matter whether Fang Jinlan lives or dies. As long as she can't speak from now on, no one will know about our relationship."
: "You also said that we almost fell for her trick that day."
"Fortunately, the queen reacted quickly." Zhou Linghai kept pinching her shoulders.
"The palace is not safe. We have to find an opportunity to send you out of the palace." It seemed that Shu Guipin's mind was not on that, her eyes were fixed on the front.
"You can't stay in the palace for long. The empress will find a way to send you away as soon as possible."
Zhou Linghai stood behind her and stepped forward with the medicine in his hand: "My queen, please save my life. My life belongs to you. I will obey you in everything."
"What is this?" Shu Guipin turned her head and looked at the medicine in his hand.
"This is the new prescription prescribed by the imperial physician. Your Majesty, please take a sip."
Zhou Linghai brought the bowl of soup forward, and as soon as he got close, he smelled a pungent smell.
Shu Guipin raised her hand, pinched her nose and tried to dodge.
I just wanted to say something, but I endured it.
"I drank so many medicines, but there is still no movement." Shu Guipin laughed at herself, took a deep breath and poured the medicine into her throat.
"Your Majesty, don't worry." After putting down the medicine, Zhou Linghai stepped forward and said, "As long as I stay in this palace for one day, I will definitely find a way to make your wish come true."
"Not now." Shu Guipin immediately propped herself up and stood up: "The palace has something important to do now."
"Big thing?" Zhou Linghai loosened his hand on his waist.
"What is your Majesty going to do?"
Shu Guipin turned around and raised her chin slightly: "This time, the palace will let Concubine Zhao taste the feeling of being slandered."
********
Xiao Guizi and He Congyu stayed in the Ministry of Punishment for one night.
At dawn, Fang Jinlan, who had kept her eyes closed, finally opened her eyes.
After getting the news, the two hurried back to report.
"Well done." Shen Fu nodded.
"The Queen Mother promised Fang Jinlan that as long as she told the story of Concubine Shu, she would not kill her."
"What about Concubine Shu?" Xiao Guizi looked at Chen Fu's eyes and asked, "Does your Majesty want to inquire about it?"
"She is probably just hoping that something happens to Fang Jinlan." Shen Fu turned her head and looked out the window.
During the Frost Descent season, the air was hazy and there was ice on the leaves of the begonias under the eaves at the entrance of the Hehuan Hall.
"Once Fang Jinlan gets into trouble, Concubine Shu will have even more reason to accuse the empress."
"She turned the tables and said that it was the imperial concubine who asked Fang Jinlan to slander her, and now she wants to kill her to silence her. The imperial concubine knows what Shu Guipin says when she is angry, even if she doesn't want to hear it."
"Your Majesty will never believe it." Xiao Guizi bent over and said, "Your Majesty will definitely believe the Empress."
"Really?" Shen Fu shook her head.
That's not going to happen.
His Majesty only believes in facts.
"I'm afraid Concubine Shu is waiting for news with all her heart."
Whenever Fang Jinlan got into trouble, Shu Guipin would definitely take advantage of it to blame her: "Such good news should have been told to her earlier."
Xiao Guizi lowered her head and smiled: "I received your instructions and told people to do it. I'm afraid that Concubine Shu Gui has already known about it by now."
"Just now, I inquired and found out that the person has already entered the Palace of Heavenly Purity."
The emperor was suspicious, and Shen Fu had long seen through His Majesty's suspicion that what happened that day was her doing.
It’s just that Shen Fu was too lazy to explain.
As long as Shu Guipin went to the palace to file a complaint, the suspicion against her would be automatically dispelled.
Instead of wasting time talking, it would be better to let His Majesty feel guilty himself.
Shen Fu was really looking forward to this scene.
She knew Shu Guipin too well.
She now hated herself to the core and wished she could get rid of him as soon as possible.
How could he resist stepping on her after hearing the news?
"She's pretty fast."
Chen Fu shook her head, with a hint of mockery in her eyes.
But I'm afraid Shu Guipin would never have guessed that she had never intended to hide the news from the Ministry of Punishment from the beginning.
She couldn't hide it either.
In the entire imperial palace, anyone who wants to do something in the Ministry of Punishment will definitely not escape the eyes of His Majesty.
But Shu Guipin herself felt that everything she did could be concealed from the world.
"I hope that Concubine Shu will not disappoint the Empress."
Shen Fu shook her head and turned to look under the glazed tiles under the eaves.
The cold grew stronger, the grass and trees withered, and the sound of raindrops could be heard on the bluestone tiles beneath the red wall.
There was an oppressive chill in the damp earth, and even the footsteps seemed muffled.
The oil-paper umbrella was placed on the corridor, and Shen Fu's narrowed eyes slowly opened: "Here it comes."
As soon as he finished speaking, the eunuch at the door came in and said, "Madam, someone from the Palace of Heavenly Purity has come to say that His Majesty wants you to come over."
