Leng Yu looked back at her with puzzled eyes.
"So what do you mean?"
"What I mean is, let's wait and see what happens. Actually, I have a rough idea of who it is, but I don't have complete proof yet."
"Who is it?"
Leng Yu couldn't wait to know who dared to attack his Lan'er.
Luo Lan looked at him seriously.
"I suspect that this was done by Concubine Li."
Hearing this, Leng Yu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with cold eyes.
"No, Concubine Li is kind-hearted by nature and doesn't like to fight with others. This is not her doing."
Luo Lan knew that Leng Yu would not believe it, just as she did not believe it at first, but she told Leng Yu again what she saw at Yu'er's place today.
After hearing Luo Lan's words, Leng Yu's brows were twisted together. He stood up anxiously and paced back and forth in the room.
It's not that he doesn't believe it, it's that he doesn't want to believe it.
He had promised his father that he would take good care of Yu'er no matter what. If this matter was really related to Yu'er and Concubine Li, then he really didn't know how to solve it.
Luo Lan understood his feelings. She stood up, walked to his side, and comforted him softly:
"Don't worry about this matter. Let me investigate carefully. Concubine Li did this for Yu'er and for the throne..."
"If Yu'er was capable of taking on this position, he could have told me directly, and I would have given it to him. Lele wouldn't have fought with him, but why did he choose such an extreme method?"
"My dear, all of this is just speculation on my part. There's no real evidence, so I think we should try to lure the snake out of its hole and get to the bottom of this as quickly as possible."
"Luring the snake out of its hole?"
Leng Yu looked at her in confusion, "Madam, do you have a solution?"
Luo Lan possessed him and whispered something in his ear.
Leng Yu hurriedly shook his head.
"No, this will easily cause chaos in the government. It's not a good idea."
"But if we don't do this, won't the court be in chaos? Besides, they're not only trying to harm me, they're also trying to harm Lele. If anything happens to Lele, you and I will both live in regret for the rest of our lives."
Luo Lan's words made Leng Yu hesitate.
She was right. If we wanted to find the murderer as soon as possible, we had to know the truth as soon as possible.
He really didn't want to see Lan'er or Lele get hurt.
Thinking of this, he simply nodded.
"Okay, everything is up to you!"
Although Leng Yu agreed, Luo Lan was not in a good mood. She wanted to know the result very much, but she was afraid to know the result.
…
The next morning
The news that the queen was seriously ill spread throughout the harem, and the palace maids and eunuchs knelt in front of Fengyi Palace, silent as a mouse.
Lele has been kneeling in front of Fengyi Palace since morning. Yu'er stands beside him, feeling indescribable.
Madam Liu came to Fengyi Palace with the support of Luo Xue and Liu Dechang. It is said that she fainted three times when she received the news before she managed to come to Fengyi Palace.
When she saw Ah Cai with red and swollen eyes, she couldn't wait to ask,
"A Cai, what happened to Lan'er? She was fine yesterday, why did she suddenly become seriously ill today?"
Ah Cai shook her head and sobbed.
"I don't know either. She was fine last night, but when I went to wake her up this morning, she just... just..."
"Lan'er...Lan'er..."
Mrs. Liu rushed in crying. Luo Xue was afraid that she would fall, so she quickly followed her in.
Liu Dechang stood there in a daze, his hands seemingly at a loss as to where to put them.
In less than an hour, Madam Xiao Lingzi, Madam Zhang Yuan, Xingnan, Ahong, as well as court ministers and their families, all came to the outside of Fengyi Palace, waiting for news from the Queen.
Watching these imperial doctors coming in and out, Ah Xing turned and left with a triumphant smile on his face.
Hibiscus Palace
Just as Concubine Li was getting dressed and about to go out, Ah Xing came back in a hurry.
"Toffee, I've seen it, it's real."
"Is she really dying?"
"That should be the case. Madam Liu has fainted from crying several times, and the Emperor is said to be sitting by her bed without saying a word. The entire harem is in chaos now."
"Very good."
Concubine Li raised her eyebrows in triumph, and then her expression changed.
"Let's go. The Queen is seriously ill, and as an elder, I have to come forward."
As she spoke, she raised her hand, and Ah Xing hurried forward to support her and walked slowly outside.
Fengyi Palace was crowded with people at this time, but it was unusually quiet.
Everyone knows that the emperor and the queen have a good relationship. If the queen can't survive this time, the lives of these servants will not be easy.
When Concubine Li came here, she deliberately lowered her head and walked inside while sobbing.
Seeing this, Ah Cai hurried over to meet him.
"Empress Dowager Li..."
"How is the Queen? I wanted to come this morning, but I didn't want to disturb her. Who would have thought she would be so seriously ill?"
Ah Cai sighed sadly,
"Come in and take a look!"
After nodding, Concubine Li gestured for Ah Xing to wait outside, and she followed Ah Cai into the bedroom.
When she saw Leng Yu sitting on the bed in a daze, a smug look flashed in her eyes. Then she lowered her voice and stepped forward to ask,
"Your Majesty, how is the Queen?"
Leng Yu didn't look up, but just shook his head.
"The imperial physician said she was poisoned and wouldn't survive more than a few days."
"Poisoned?"
Concubine Li took a breath of cold air, and then asked in surprise,
"How could she be poisoned? Who is so bold as to poison the palace?"
Leng Yu looked up at her and shook his head again.
