Chapter 2907 I think I've seen you somewhere
The people around the emperor conducted a thorough investigation of the entire palace because of Concubine Chen's fall.
It was finally discovered that a palace maid from the laundry department had secretly spread tung oil on the road, causing Concubine Chen to slip on a rainy day.
After being caught, the young palace maid did not cry out for injustice, but instead directly hit her head against a pillar and died.
The clues would not be interrupted because the emperor said he would investigate thoroughly and would not give anyone a chance. Later, it was found out that the distant aunt of the little palace maid, who had many connections, was actually the wet nurse of the crown prince of the East Palace.
When this news was presented to the emperor, he was with Concubine Chen. His originally cheerful expression suddenly turned gloomy.
"Your Majesty, this may just be a coincidence..." Seeing that the situation was not good, Concubine Chen quickly put her hand on the emperor's arm to comfort him.
The emperor relaxed his expression again, raised his hand and patted her, "Don't worry, I won't wrong you and your son."
Although there was no direct evidence that this incident was related to the Eastern Palace, the emperor still suspected the prince.
Moreover, the emperor also wanted to appease Concubine Chen, and finally found another excuse to reprimand the crown prince who was under house arrest.
The prince was under house arrest in the East Palace, and a huge pot fell from the sky.
Even most of the guest officials around her were dismissed by the emperor with other reasons.
The once huge East Palace was now deserted with only two or three kittens. The servants around the prince experienced the fickleness of human nature for the first time and were worried all day long.
But the prince acted as if nothing had happened and continued to read and write in his study, as if he was not the one who was under house arrest and reprimanded.
Shi Li held Concubine Chen's pregnancy-maintaining medicine in her hand and stood obediently outside the palace. She felt that what she held in her hand was not a bowl of medicine, but more like a hot potato.
If something went wrong after Concubine Chen drank the medicine, her life would be at stake. But she couldn't refuse. The emperor personally ordered her to take the medicine, which showed his respect and trust. If she refused, she would die faster.
"come in."
The emperor's voice came from the hall. Shi Li took a deep breath and walked in with the medicine bowl.
"Your Majesty, Madam Consort Xian."
"Bring the medicine here." The emperor stretched out his hand. Shi Li lowered his head and handed over the medicine bowl, watching the emperor holding the medicine bowl in his own hands.
After weighing the pros and cons in his heart, he couldn't help but think about his own life and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you let the imperial physician take a look first? After all, the preparation and preparation of the medicine has gone through many hands."
The emperor had just picked up the spoon and was about to feed Concubine Chen the medicine himself, but when he heard what Shi Li said, he immediately put the spoon down and looked at Shi Li deeply.
"You... are good. Go down and ask the doctor to come."
When Shi Li was looked at like this, she felt a chill run through her heart, but she still forced herself to retreat. No matter what, she would always survive.
After a while, the imperial physician came in and used silver needles and other methods, but the result was...
Shi Li's intuition came true again.
It turned out that someone had actually poisoned the pregnancy-preserving medicine.
"court death."
The emperor placed the bowl of medicine heavily on the table beside him, his face as gloomy as the dark clouds in the sky.
He stared at the medicine bowl intently, and then looked at Concubine Chen with loving eyes.
"Who on earth is so eager to kill you?"
This time it was poison, and Concubine Chen could no longer open her eyes and say it was an accident. She just lowered her eyelids and remained silent.
What could she say? What happened once or twice was directed at her and the child, but nothing she said seemed right. Could she say that this matter was related to the prince?
Sometimes saying nothing is more effective than saying it.
The emperor didn't want to listen to her. He just told the palace servants to keep a close eye on Concubine Chen and then he stood up and walked out.
Shi Li luckily escaped, but the emperor's attitude was frightening.
The murderous intent was too strong, and these two incidents directly touched his reverse scale.
After leaving Concubine Chen, the emperor directly ordered people to call in the ministers he relied on most and had a long secret talk in his study.
Almost every one of them was a hero who helped him build the empire from scratch.
No one knows what the king and his ministers talked about in the study.
The final result was also a unhappy parting.
However, the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace received a secret letter from an old minister the next day.
The emperor actually wanted to depose the crown prince because of these two incidents involving Concubine Chen. He also called several important ministers to his study yesterday to discuss this matter.
Several important ministers were so frightened that they almost threatened to commit suicide, which made the emperor temporarily give up this idea.
"Your Highness, you must take good care of yourself. We will do our utmost to serve you." The old minister finally assured the prince.
Not only do they believe in the prince's ability, but they are also grateful for the late queen's repeated protection in the past, so they will definitely protect the prince's position now.
The prince read every word in the letter quietly, with no expression on his face. He just placed the letter on the candle and watched it burn to ashes bit by bit.
Everyone in the palace is in danger now.
What happened to Concubine Chen once and twice affected too many palace servants, so even though everyone knew that following Concubine Chen would definitely bring them a bright future, they were all reluctant to do so.
Compared with future and life, life is more important.
Then, Shi Li was sent to Concubine Chen by some unknown means.
Shi Li: ...
Chunchun is bullying honest people!!!
But she had no choice but to come to Concubine Chen tremblingly.
After these two incidents, Concubine Chen was somewhat frightened. She half-lying on the bed to rest, took off the hairpins on her head, and let her jet-black hair fall down, making her look even more beautiful and elegant.
"It's you. It was all thanks to you last time." Concubine Chen still remembered Shi Li and smiled at her kindly.
