Chapter 39: The one who poisoned
"Hurry up and say it!"
Noblewoman Luo shouted and sat down, her chest heaving violently, showing how angry she was.
Lin Yuejiao looked at her and shook her head. With Luo Hanshuang's temper, she would sooner or later end up like Yu Chuxue.
Cui Liu said in panic, "Doctor Chen went to Tinglanxuan to check Concubine Xu's pulse and found that Concubine Xu is fine."
Upon hearing that Xu Xiyue was fine, Concubine Luo's face darkened.
"However, Concubine Xu's slip did not seem to be an accident. After returning to the palace, Concubine Shu ordered people to check the palace servants who had been to the Imperial Garden today. It seemed that someone was trying to harm Concubine Xu!"
Hearing this, Lady Luo's expression barely improved, and she snorted, "She has offended quite a few people. If I had known this, I would not have risked poisoning her before."
Damn bitch!
Why can you be promoted to a noble person as soon as you get pregnant?
And she got nothing!
The more Concubine Luo thought about it, the angrier she became. Cui Liu said in panic, "My lady, be careful, there are ears on the other side of the wall. You can't say that again! The Empress is investigating this matter thoroughly. If she finds out about you, the consequences will be disastrous."
Looking at Cui Liu's timid appearance, Concubine Luo's face became cold and gloomy.
"What are you afraid of? No one else knows about this except you and me. As long as you don't betray me, the Queen will not be able to find me!"
I didn't expect that it was Concubine Luo who poisoned her!
Lin Yuejiao was surprised and not surprised. Since it was Concubine Luo who poisoned her, where was the evidence?
Just as I was thinking about it, Lady Luo asked, "Have you dealt with the poison I gave you that day?"
"Don't worry, madam. I'm hiding. No one will find me."
"Be sure to hide it well. If someone finds it, it will be because of your mistake that I have fallen out of favor. Be careful of your hide."
Lin Yuejiao was speechless after listening to this. It was a typical case of someone doing something bad and not only letting others take the blame, but also blaming others when something went wrong.
Lin Yuejiao didn't listen to what the master and servant said next, and asked the system: "The little palace maid probably hid the poison in Yihe Hall. System, can you detect the poison?"
[Sure! But how can the host be sure that the poison is hidden in the Yihe Palace? The harem is so big, hiding it in any corner would be safer than the Yihe Palace, right? ]
"No, no, no!" Lin Yuejiao immediately denied it. "There are many palace maids and eunuchs in the harem. It would be easy for Cui Liu to be discovered if she hides the poison outside. On the contrary, there are few people in Yihe Hall, and it is in the Shufei Palace. No one except the palace maids of Jinxiu Palace can enter, so it is safest to hide the drugs there."
Lin Yuejiao believed in her own judgment. She was sitting on the sofa one second and appeared outside the Yihe Hall the next.
"System, let's start!"
After Lin Yuejiao finished speaking, a screen popped up in front of her eyes, showing the system detecting the Yihe Hall.
The system detected from the house to the courtyard, and finally detected a foreign object in a corner, which was extremely hidden.
After systematic testing, it was found that what was buried in the soil was poison.
[Host, you guessed it right. Cui Liu really hid the poison here.]
Lin Yuejiao stared at the system screen, the poison buried in the soil curled her lips, "The next thing to do is to make Luo Guiren pay the price for her evil deeds."
Lin Yuejiao quickly went to Tinglanxuan to tell Xu Xiyue about this matter, and Xu Xiyue was shaking with anger.
Green Lotus didn't know what the fairy said, but seeing that the young lady was angry, she hurriedly comforted her: "Young lady, don't get angry. Be careful of getting pregnant. No matter how big the matter is, it is not as important as the little prince."
"Luoluo is right. Your health is the most important thing!" Lin Yuejiao also comforted her.
Xu Xiyue suppressed her anger and said, "Fairy, the emperor just left not long ago. I can still catch up with him if I chase him now. Concubine Luo poisoned me, I will make sure she is punished."
"My lady, what did you say... Was it Concubine Luo who poisoned me?" Luluo was shocked, her face full of disbelief.
Xu Xiyue nodded, and Luluo said angrily: "My lady, take a rest. I will go find the emperor!"
Lin Yuejiao quickly grabbed Luoluo's collar, feeling somewhat helpless. The master and servant had similar personalities at times, both being impatient and irritable.
"Why can't I move?" Luluo was stunned for a moment, and struggled hard, but she couldn't take a step forward, as if someone was pulling her.
Her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the fairy stopped her from going to see the emperor?
Thinking of this, Green Ivy didn't dare to flutter anymore and called out "Young Master"!
Xu Xiyue asked in confusion: "Why did the fairy stop Green Radish?"
Lin Yuejiao let go of Luluo and patiently explained, "Xiyue, there is no evidence. Luluo just ran to the emperor and said that Concubine Luo poisoned you. Do you think the emperor would believe it?"
"Solving a case requires evidence. If Luoluo just runs away like this, the emperor will not only not believe it, but will also punish her for lying."
When Xu Xiyue heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat.
Just as the fairy said, the emperor would not only punish Luoluo, but would also blame her, thinking that she was the one who instigated Luoluo to file a complaint.
"Thank you for the reminder, Fairy. Xiyue and Luluo were so angry that they lost their sense of proportion for a moment."
Lin Yuejiao said calmly: "It's okay, be more careful in the future and keep your composure when encountering things."
After all, Xu Xiyue is young, and has been raised and cared for by her parents and brother. She has not experienced any major storms, so it is normal that she does not think things through.
It takes time and experience for people to mature.
After Xu Xiyue has lived in the harem for a long time and got used to the intrigues, she will be able to handle things with ease.
There won't be any need for her help by then.
Lin Yuejiao asked Xu Xiyue to send Luluo to find Concubine Shu, and asked Concubine Shu to find an excuse to search the courtyard outside the Yihe Palace and find the poison.
Lady Shufei believed in Xu Xiyue completely, so after Luluo delivered the message, she immediately took people to search the Yihe Palace.
The excuse was that the flowers, plants and trees in the courtyard were not growing well and would affect Concubine Luo's mood, so they needed to be pulled out and transplanted with new green plants.
Noble Lady Luo thought that Concubine Shu's behavior was strange and did not think much about it.
Cui Liu grabbed her dress in panic, her face covered in cold sweat due to nervousness.
Seeing this, Concubine Luo asked unhappily, "Madam Shufei is just tidying up the courtyard, why are you so flustered?"
Cui Liu's legs trembled and she fell to her knees. Her face was filled with panic, which made Luo Guiren's heart skip a beat and she suddenly realized something.
Her eyes suddenly became sharp and she glared at Cui Liu viciously.
"You shouldn't be..."
"My lady... I didn't expect that the Concubine Shu would suddenly come to repair the courtyard. That... that thing is hidden in the courtyard. My lady, what should we do? I don't want to die, my lady..."
Cui Liu pulled at the hem of Concubine Luo's skirt, sobbing softly and begging Concubine Luo to find a way to stop Concubine Shu.
Luo Guiren kicked her away, furious, "Stupid, you've caused me so much trouble!"
Concubine Luo could never have imagined that Cui Liu would hide the remaining poison in Yihe Palace, and she wished she could strangle Cui Liu to death.
At this moment, she realized that Concubine Shu was not here to transplant flowers and trees for her, but was clearly looking for evidence that she poisoned Xu Xiyue.
She hurried out of the house, trying to stop Concubine Shu, but it was too late.
The poison buried in the corner was dug out by the palace servants and presented to Concubine Shu.
Concubine Shu held the bottle of poison, looked up at Noble Lady Luo who was standing at the door, and asked with a chuckle, "Noble Lady Luo, why is this thing buried in the courtyard? What's in it?"
Although the tone was apparently light and light, Concubine Luo was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground.
In broad daylight, she was forced into a cold sweat.
