027 Ask for justice
"Didn't you say that Lu Yong is very reliable? How can things be like that now?" Concubine Yan scolded angrily, "Ogawako, do you think you can't do anything without me, or have I have been so kind to you recently that you have forgotten your identity?"
"No, it's not..." Ogawako kowtowed like pounding garlic.
Red silk added oil and vinegar to the side: "Mother, I have long said that Xiaochuanzi's efficiency is not good. Look, let him deal with it at the beginning..."
"Why are you quarreling at this time?" Concubine Yan interrupted her angrily, making Hongyan immediately shut up and dared not make a sound again.
"Mother, it's difficult to get off at this point. According to me, there is only one way to do it." As Ogawako said, he reached out and made a "killing" action.
Who will be sent? You?" Yan Guifei sneered, "Once that matter is exposed, it will make people doubt this palace. How can it be feasible?"
"Mother, look at the maidservant, you can send the girl Cai Qing." Hongqi's plan said, "If it doesn't work, just let the spearhead be aimed at the queen again, so that the emperor will doubt her innocence again. Otherwise, how can she 'kill people'? If it is done, it will naturally be of great benefit to us.
"That's right, Hongyan, I'll leave this matter to you. If it's done, I'll be rewarded!"
"Doing your best for the Empress is originally a matter of the maidservant. I dare not ask for reward. I just hope to help the Empress share the problems." Hongqi bowed down and smiled respectfully.
"A flatterer." Ogawako rolled his eyes with disdain.
"Who are you talking about?" Hong Sui retorted and said, "If you have the ability, you can also come up with a decent idea to help the Empress. If you are not good at doing things well, you are too embarrassed to talk about others."
"You!" Ogawako pointed to the red silk and said hatefully, "When have you done a decent thing with your mother-in-law for so many years? It's still my start this time. Otherwise, with your elm head, you can come up with such a wonderful idea?"
"Enough! I don't want to hear the two of you quarrel in the future! Otherwise, the Japanese Palace will send someone to go out the tongues of the two of you!" Princess Yan was full of impatience and threatened fiercely.
Ogawako and Hongyan were so scared that they didn't dare to say a word. My mother's temper has always been the same, and they dare not take this risk.
"Hongyan, go to Caiqing immediately and take care of the matter. Remember, this matter is not allowed to be worse." As the imperial concubine Yan ordered, she took out a porcelain bottle from a drawer. "This is a highly poisonous 'seven-star begonia', colorless and tasteless, killing invisible. You give this to Cai Qing and find a way to mix it into Lu Yong's meal."
"Yes, Madam, I'm going to do it now." Hongqi took the porcelain bottle and took advantage of the night to walk quickly in the direction of the Hehuan Hall.

Cai Qing looked for an opportunity and was quietly standing in the backyard with the news. At this time, all the maids in charge of cleaning in the backyard went to have dinner. She was the only one in the courtyard, and the darkness suddenly saw the red silk rushing in a hurry.
"There's not much time. You can hear it clearly." Hongqi said, "The master wants you to do it tonight and put this bottle into Lu Yong's meal. If you can't do it, you and your Dr. Lu will be all over.
"But...but..." Cai Qing hesitated, "I...how can I get in?"
"That's your business." Hongqi smiled indifferently and turned away.
Cai Qing is in a daze from time to time with a porcelain bottle.
Put the medicine in the meal... This matter is quite difficult. She doesn't know martial arts. Naturally, it is impossible to sneak into the prison through heavy guards. But if she delivers food blatantly, after the matter is exposed, no matter which palace lady is involved, she will not have no good results.
It doesn't matter if she has an accident alone, but if even her parents are involved...
Or, let's discuss it with Lu Youting first. Cai Qing made up his mind, hid the porcelain bottle in his arms, returned to the Hehuan Hall, and told Queen Du that he was not feeling well and asked for leave.
After the matter here was done, she took advantage of the unpreparedness and went to the Tai Hospital alone to find Lu Youting.
"The noble concubine wants you to poison people?" After listening to her narration, Lu Youting looked surprised.
"Yes, the Empress said that this is a seven-star begonia, colorless and tasteless..." Cai Qing's face showed a difficult color. "What should I do? If I come forward in this matter, it doesn't matter if something happens to me. I'm afraid... I'm afraid..."
"In that case, I'll go." Lu Youting comforted, "The guards in the heavenly prison don't know me very well. You help me get a set of clothes for the waiter. I'll disguise it a little."
"There is a court, is it really okay?"
"Yes, believe me, I just need to put a few green moles on my face, and others will not recognize my true face." Lu Youting analyzed, "However, you have to find a way to get me a waist card. Otherwise, the guard won't open the door for me."
"This is easy. When the Dancing Concubine came to visit the Queen that day, Xiao Shunzi beside her accidentally lost her waist card in the Hehuan Hall. I thought that this waist card might come in handy in the future, so I quietly put it away. No one knew about it. Moreover, Xiao Shunzi happens to have a lot of moles on his face.
"Dance Concubine..."
If even she, who has always been indisputable, is also involved, won't things become more complicated? However, in order to get rid of his own crisis, Cai Qing did not hesitate to sacrifice others...
The dancing concubine who has spent hundreds of lonely days in the Feitian Pavilion will spend an unaccompanied long night. The reason why she married into the Beiqi Palace was originally a political marriage from beginning to end. She had no choice, and Beitanghao could not choose. Du Lanruo is the only one in Beitanghao's heart, and he has never taken her seriously. It's not that she hasn't fought for it, but too many disappointments have made her gradually numb and told herself to accept her fate.
She remembered what Murong Xueyan said - sometimes there must be something in her life, and there is no time to force it in her life.
I only blame myself for being disappointing. I fell into the Beiqi harem and couldn't fly out again; but even my heart was placed on Beitanghao...
This night, she couldn't think of it. After dawn, there would be unexpected circumstances waiting for her.
She has been guarding herself behind closed doors, not competing with others, and far away from the storm, but she was still involuntarily involved in the center of the storm.
Hehuan Hall.
Beitanghao quietly stood in front of Queen Du's bed and held one of her hands. She looks so weak, sweating, delicate and panting.
"Doctor Situ, how about the queen?" He asked Dr. Situ, who was preparing the prescription, worriedly.
"To the emperor's words, the queen is just angry, and it's okay for the time being. Besides, the empress has been practicing martial arts since she was a child. Her body has always been strong, and it's okay to take medicine; it's just..."
A "just" made Beitanghao's hard-won heart hang up again and said nervously, "What's the matter?"
"The Empress is pregnant with a dragon's baby, and pregnant women are the most taboo to be stimulated. The Empress is now pregnant," Dr. Situ solemnly explained, "From today on, the Empress must stay in bed every day and try to move as much as possible until six months after pregnancy."
"Actually..." Beitanghao breathed a sigh of relief and looked guilty. "As long as she is fine, even if it's in her stomach..."
"Your Majesty, your Majesty... Please believe in Anu, Anu is innocent...Your Majesty..."
Such a deep grievance cannot be forgotten even in a dream. Bei Tanghao saw tears overflowing from the corners of Queen Du's eyes and wiped her tears with his sleeves. Dr. Situ had prescribed a prescription, and as soon as he saw this, he avoided the suspicion and left for a moment.
"Anu, I misunderstood you, I'm sorry..." He held her hand tightly. He kissed deeply, hoping that the temperature of his kiss could convey a little warmth and comfort to her.
"Your Majesty, it's not a big deal." Fang Youde, who has always been calm and decent, is in a panic.
"What's the matter?" Beitanghao frowned, "Didn't you see the queen resting? What's the style of making such a noise?"
"Your Majesty." Fang Youde approached, lowered his voice and replied, "That Lu Yong is dead."
Bei Tanghao was shocked and asked reflexively, "Who is dead?"
"Going back to the emperor's words, it is..." Fang Youde looked around and saw that the maids of honor had already retreated to the distance to avoid suspicion, and even Dr. Situ also avoided it aside. Fang came to Bei Tanghao's ear and said, "Lu Yong, who was personally interrogated by the emperor, died in the prison last night."
"This..." Beitang Hao paused and was stunned for a moment.
After a while, he continued to say, "Go on with the order and thoroughly investigate this matter."
"Yes." Fang Youde took the order and hurriedly retreated.
The Hehuan Hall returned to quiet again. The maids of honor and the maids all retreated. Situ also returned to the imperial hospital to boil medicine. Beitanghao sat quietly holding Queen Du's hand, thinking like a tide.
From every dialogue between Queen Du and Lu Yong, it can be imagined that it was clear that Lu Yong was instructed to frame Queen Du. He hoped to find out the truth of the matter through Lu Yong. As a result, the matter had some clues, but Lu Yong died in prison.
I don't know how long the time has passed. Suddenly, I heard the news outside the door: "Your Majesty--"
"Fang Youde, how's the investigation going?" Beitang Hao didn't come back, so he knew who it was.
Fang Youde entered from the inside and approached Bei Tanghao. Fang knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, someone visited the prison last night."
"Who is it?"
"It's a servant. Moreover, the waiter showed his waist card before entering the prison. Fang Youde reported everything he had just found out, "That servant is next to the Dancing Concubine of Feitian Pavilion."
"Dancing Concubine?" He suspected that Noble Concubine Yan and other talented people in the harem, but he did not doubt this dance concubine who had never had anything to do with anyone. Her marriage to the palace was a political marriage in itself. From the beginning, they did not really put their feelings into each other. In his impression, she has always been indifferent, self-righteous, disdain to argue with others, and even rarely lie to him. In the harem, the concubines are used to form a party for personal gain, and she has no contact with anyone, except for occasionally meeting Queen Du, who is still a deed. How could she send someone to hurt her?
However, if it weren't for her, who would have bought Lu Yonglai to frame Queen Du? If it hadn't been for Lu Yong, why would she have sent a waiter to kill people?
Things are getting more and more complicated. No matter who is involved, he can verify it in all the ways he can think of, only the foreign princess with this identity**.
"Your Majesty... Anu's heart hurts..." Empress Du frowned and burst into tears.
"Anu, don't worry, I will help you do justice!" Beitanghao clenched his fist and made up his mind.
- Even if the dance concubine is involved, even if this matter will cause an uproar once it is handled, in order to help Queen Du get justice, he can't take care of anything!
