C168

I felt cold all over my body, and I hugged the jacaranda tightly, suddenly scared.

What if I feed this water to the jacaranda? He's still so young. He's not like me, who can withstand a lot of wind and rain.

"Miaomiao." The ball shrieked a few more times, looking a bit pitiful.

But now, no one had the heart to play with it. Luckily, Little Xu didn't even cry, only looked at me with his tearful eyes. I pressed my face against his, and he reached out to grab my hair.

Little person, always carefree, and the palace has really let me see, to raise a person, it really is difficult, to let the child grow up, too difficult.

The hall became vigilant. Lin Luoshui took out the silver, opened the kettle and put it in. The silver needle, however, did not change color at all. He pulled down the white gauze on one side and poured the tea into the pot, but it did not change color.

Therefore, he got up and walked to the table, and the silver needle went to explore the area of darkness. However, the silver needle also became so bright that it made his heart ache.

He looked at the ball and saw that it was still moaning and scratching on the ground. His white fur was already dyed black. It was unknown if he had touched it just now.

"Zhiqiu, what did you just say? What did this cat catch?" Lin Luoshui earnestly asked.

"Ointment, the Empress's ointment." The reason why his voice was a bit shaky was: "Doctor Lin, your servant will go get it immediately." She was even more frightened than I was. She went into the inner room immediately and came out with the box of ointment that the cat had grabbed.

He lit up more palace lamps. The scented ointment still carried a light and pleasant fragrance, but it was still snow-white. He tried inserting the silver needles, but nothing could be seen.

I was secretly relieved that I didn't want my face to turn black.

He scraped some more and placed them on the white cloth. He poured some of the golden tea on top of it, and in an instant, the white cloth started to change color.

There was poison in the ointment, so he said seriously, "Wan Yi, this cannot be dealt with in private. If something like this happens in the palace, it must be reported."

"Alright." My voice was weak as I sat down, my feet trembling.

Rinloran asked me to stretch out my hand and take his pulse. With a cautious expression, he asked me, "How long have you been using it for?"

I thought about it and said, "About ten days."

He asked again, "Is there any tea?"

I think I must be miserable by now. My body is full of poison.

He retracted his hand and said with a relaxed expression, "The body is slightly poisoned, but it's not a big deal. The symptoms of poisoning are very shallow, as if it's only been used for a day or two."

"It was the same when Qiao Liang's group brought it over. I felt better even after five days. When I sent it over later, I saw that my skin had also turned white, so I didn't use it often." Add to that the fact that I've been ill for so long, I don't have much of a mind to take care of my own affairs.

"And?" I asked nervously.

"He's fine. I need to examine this ointment." He dug some out and put them in a small bottle.

How sad, I didn't expect her to be so bold, but I think, perhaps it couldn't be her, what was previously nothing, how did this box behind it go wrong?

This matter was immediately spread. The poison of the scented ointment had alarmed the three palaces and six courtyards, and Qiao Feng had also been captured.

She knelt on the ground and sobbed, "Esteemed empress dowager, Your Majesty, Esteemed Empress, and Esteemed wangyi, even if chenqie had a hundred guts, she still wouldn't dare do such a thing. chenqie has always been in use. There's still more in chenqie's palace, you can have the imperial physician investigate."

Lu Yao said coldly, "It was precisely your scented ointment that had a problem. It truly had malicious intentions and wanted to harm Lady Wanyi."

"Chenqie really doesn't dare. Your majesty, chenqie is wrongly accused." She was crying so hard that her nose was bleeding.

"I'm innocent, could it be that Wan Yi was the one who poisoned him?"

"Empress, chenqie doesn't mean that. chenqie really doesn't know." He could not help but cry helplessly.

But I, I'm confused too, I don't know why it's poisonous.

The empress dowager said coldly, "The palace will never allow such a malicious woman to haunt the harem. Once the investigation is made, severe punishment must be meted out."

Someone went to get Qiao Feng's ointment, we had to let the imperial physician compare it properly. He looked at me from the high position, and his heart ached and he was slightly shocked. He looked at Qiao Feng with an intimidating gaze: "This matter must be investigated thoroughly."

"These two boxes of scented ointment are basically the same, they are all of gentle beauty. But in Lady Wan Yi's box, there are some extra things, inside of them is Master Wu, this thing is colorless and tasteless, it cannot be detected if you grind it into powder and add it. If you mix it with tea, it would definitely be able to spread its black color, but when it comes into contact with your body, your body would feel unwell and restless. If the Empress were to use it on her face and drink tea, it would be big enough to make the Empress's skin as black as charcoal. "

When I heard this, I was stunned. The skin was like black charcoal, while the skin was like black charcoal. If I knew earlier, I would have preferred it peeling off to be good enough.

"Is that harmful to the body?" Lu Yao asked anxiously.

The imperial physician replied, "It's been a bit damaged. As time goes on, his internal organs will be pitch-black. He'll …" It was probably not a good thing, and the imperial physician did not dare to continue.

Lu Yao looked at me, his eyes seemed to want to say something but stopped himself. He looked at Qiao Feng again, and coldly said: "You're still not admitting defeat? It is truly audacious of you to want to harm Wan Yi's life. "

"Your concubine doesn't dare. Esteemed wangyi, your concubine really doesn't dare to hurt you." Da Zhi felt this heavy pressure and felt her heart tremble. She became more and more scared and kept on kowtowing to me.

The Emperor lightly said, "Men, go to torture."

There was no need to say anything else. Yesterday, she was still in his embrace with a sweet smile on her face. In the blink of an eye, he didn't even want to ask anymore questions, he was just asking for punishment.

The wooden stick was holding her ten fingers, and with a tug, the sharp pain pierced through the dark night.

"No, chenqie doesn't." She cried out, tears of pain pouring down her face but not letting go. The blood dripped from her white fingers to the ground, and I remembered her little canine smile, and then she took out the pastry carefully, with some flour on her fingers.

A woman who only wanted to be pampered was only a good person. How could she ruin her own future?

I stood up and knelt before the empress dowager and emperor. "Your Majesty, esteemed empress dowager, chenqie didn't think that Qiao Liang was the one who poisoned her."

"Zhiqiu?" The Emperor raised his eyebrows at me. "You're confused again."

I shook my head and looked at Qiao Feng who was crying on the ground. The blood flowing from his fingers caused the pain in my heart. I couldn't wait any longer.

The Imperial Palace could do one thing, it could involve many people, and they could die just like that. However, the real culprits could never be caught.

"Your Majesty, chenqie thinks that Qiao Liang is not her. Qiao Liang is a gentle and pure person, and if she wanted to harm chenqie, she wouldn't have to do it so openly. The scented ointment has a close relationship with her, but if she poisoned herself, wouldn't she be the one to self-destruct?" "Chenqie believes that she doesn't dare to openly harm chenqie."

"I think there's something fishy about this." The empress dowager glanced at Qiao Feng. "They should be done by the Crow Man. How could there be such a thing in the palace?"

Sigh, Qiao Feng, you're favored by the Emperor, but your leaves are still too tender. With the slightest bit of carelessness, others can use me to break your wings. Hurt me and ruin you. In the palace, if one were to calmly look from the sidelines, they would be able to arrive at a reasonable conclusion.

When she heard me pleading for her, she cried even more sorrowfully.

Lin Luoshui then said, "Reporting to the empress dowager, emperor, and empress, this gentleman was only introduced later because of the ointment that had to be mixed with water. Although it wasn't tea, it would make the ointment darker, and the ointment right now is still transparent, so it should be added later."

Then, someone came to my palace to look for Eunuch Wu. A big stone was pressed on my heart, and no matter what, I couldn't loosen my brows. I don't have any intention of hurting others, but people do harm to me.

No matter if it's Qiao Feng's place or mine, I'm unable to find this Crow Gongzi thing.

It was getting late, and the Empress Mother said to go back and rest first. Tomorrow morning she would ask the Empress to tell her of the results.

After searching and searching for a while, he finally managed to capture a palace maid to inquire about the matter.

The people around me are becoming more and more unable to escape, Lin Luoshui said, starting from Xu. It should have happened within a few days, that is, the day after the ointment was delivered.

In the end, it was only half a result, but no one knew who put it in there. The maids in the Moon Viewing Hall had to go through it again, and it was unknown who would die this time.

I helped her up and said softly, "I'm sorry."

If it hadn't been for my face, she wouldn't have said it, wouldn't have made her suffer. Although she had other intentions, she was still implicated.

As soon as I said that, more and more tears came out from her eyes. She bit her lips and continued to cry.

Rinloran carefully bandaged her fingers until they looked like swollen wounds. He asked the palace maid to escort her back, and when she reached the door, she gave me a grateful look.

Every one of the concubines sent it back, and the liveliness dispersed, leaving behind a heaviness in their hearts that they could not let go.

I opened the window to let the wind in and saw the silver disk of the moon hanging in the sky, letting the wind shine in the lake.

"Zhiqiu, don't be afraid." He held me close from behind.

I said rather sadly, "It's very difficult in the palace, isn't it?"

He didn't say anything, just hugged me hard.

"It's so hard, happiness is the moon in the water. You can see it, but you'll never be able to touch it. That layer of light is the shattered moonlight, always wanting to calm down and piece together a piece of tranquility, but the wind is not as good as it is." "Fortunately, I'm fine, so don't worry." I turned to look at him.

"How can I protect you?" he whispered.

I smiled and didn't say anything. It was useless for me to say that. It might be best for you to let go, but you said that you would never let go.

If you don't love me, if you don't like me, you will leave me in the palace. As long as others like me, even if you don't want me, you won't give me to others.

The next day, Luyao came to look at me and sighed heavily. "I hate the palace. There are so many things that have to be done."

"Don't be too sad, Rinloran said it already. There's nothing wrong with my body, so I don't use the rest of the box often."

She looked at me somewhat awkwardly for a long time before she finally said, "Zhiqiu, the empress dowager's aunt already found out."

"How does Her Majesty deal with this?"

"The empress dowager's aunt said she wanted you to move to a more remote area of the imperial harem so I could take you out for a period of time. Once all the poison in your body has been purged, we can go back to the Moon Viewing Hall." Zhiqiu, how about you tell the emperor that you might not have to go to that remote harem. "

She hung her head as if embarrassed.

Alas, these words were meant by the Empress Dowager and not hers.

"Sure." Maybe it's better to be quiet, but no one wants to hurt me.

I didn't dare to trust anyone in the palace. I would worry about anyone, but Luyao would take good care of her for me.

"Sorry, I wanted to convince my empress dowager's aunt, but …"

I blocked her words and chuckled, "Don't say that. Lu Yao, compared to the envious Moon Gazing Hall, I'm more willing to go to those remote places. As for you, you have to give me a good look, otherwise I won't forgive you, haha."

"You're still laughing, still laughing." Her eyes reddened in anger, "Do you know what it is that people in the imperial harem avoid the most? That is, the more remote a residence is, the fewer times we see the Emperor. "

"Aiya, so you aren't jealous! Esteemed empress, don't you think it's good that I left?" And there are pictures of you that the Emperor will visit often. "

"Fuck you." Her face was red with embarrassment. "Don't say anymore."

"Yo, I rarely see you being shy. Come, let me show you the smile of a little sister Zhiqiu."

"Stupid girl." She grabbed a pillow and threw it at me. "And say, let you say, I mean it, or you go beg the Emperor, maybe the Emperor will change his mind too and won't let you go to that corner."

"Alright, alright, I won't say anymore." I stopped, raised my hands, let out a long breath, and said, "Perhaps it is not that I still hate the Emperor that I can see more clearly from a distance, but that there is something I have to sort out in a moment. He said that he loved me, and he really did protect me, and he hurt me, but I felt as if it were very far away. If I live further away, if he doesn't want to come, then this kind of love isn't what I want, then I don't have to make things difficult for myself anymore, why not? "

I think in terms of feeling, he needs to be bold and fierce, he should be let go, between a dog and a cat, there is no second best, I give him a chance, but I also do not want to lower my feelings.

Lu Yao looked at me and sighed, "I really admire you. You can hold onto it and let it go, but just give up. When you were outside the palace, the Emperor took a fancy to you."

I smiled, able to take what I wanted to say. Some of the things in my heart were for me to savor and slowly walk over.
