After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

When Hui Bin heard this, she couldn't understand the profound meaning of the emperor's words, so she rushed out regardless of it.

"Your Majesty, please give my mother justice. Those who harm her must not be spared lightly!"

The emperor frowned and shouted at Liu Yunxiang and the others who were chasing them: "Why don't you send Hui Concubine back to Yixiu Palace!"

"Your Majesty, if I don't leave, I will wait here for the result!"

Hui Bin cried heartbreakingly. Liu Yunxiang and the others tried to persuade her to no avail, and she fainted again while crying. He couldn't leave now, so he had to carry the person back to the inner hall and quickly go to the imperial doctor.

Concubine Hui was making such a fuss that Marquis Wu lost his sense of propriety and requested an order to go to the prison of Dali Temple to accompany his godson.

When Liu Yunxiang and Wanyi came out of Chengtian Palace, they saw the third prince clasping his hands to beg Yan Mu, "Old Qi, please be kind and show the way to the third brother."

Yan Mu sighed: "If I had an idea, I wouldn't stay at home and not go to court."

"you you……"

"However, Marquis Wu has always been smooth in dealing with things, making it impossible for anyone to find fault. Today, he relies on his elders for the sake of his stepson, and makes things difficult for the emperor. This is not something he can do."

The third prince thought about it and said, "Is there any other hidden secret?"

"Ahem, brother, I didn't say anything."

The third prince was shocked to realize that he almost fell into the trap again, and hurriedly said: "Don't take advantage of me and act like a good boy. Anyway, I won't believe anything you say from now on."

"Third brother, why should you belittle yourself? You are also very smart and powerful."

With that said, Yan Mu walked away briskly.

The third prince looked at Yan Mu's back and murmured in a low voice: "Am I underestimating myself?"

Maybe he should be more confident in himself!

Liu Yunxiang twitched the corner of his mouth and left from the other side with Wanyi. The emperor gave birth to so many sons, more than half of them died, and the rest except Yan Mu were all idiots.

Tsk, I have to say that this is also retribution.

After returning, the Queen Mother called them over and asked about Hui Bin's situation.

"Physician Zhou said that the fetal air was not stable and she needed to take care of it herself. But Hui Bin has been immersed in grief since she learned that her mother was killed. She can't eat or sleep, and there is nothing anyone can do to persuade her." Liu Yunxiang said.

The Queen Mother rubbed her forehead and said, "It's a coincidence that Mrs. Li was killed here. It's a coincidence that Hui Bin knew about it."

After saying these words, the Queen Mother raised her head and thought carefully: "Ning Bin was not a fast talker in the past. Why was she so imprudent that day?"

Aunt Su stepped forward and said, "Shall I send someone to check on her?"

"check!"

Liu Yunxiang remembered the scene where Hui Bin and Ning Bin laughed together that day, and couldn't imagine that Ning Bin would harm Hui Bin.

The next day, Liu Yunxiang and Wan Yi came to Chengtian Palace early, and the Queen Mother told them to take Hui Concubine back to Yixiu Palace to rest in peace today no matter what. But as soon as they reached the entrance of the courtyard, they saw two guards carrying a palace maid out from a distance.

The palace maid's clothes were disheveled, her hair was disheveled, and she had a pair of scissors stuck in her chest. Her front was dyed red with blood. Seeing that her hands and feet were stiff, she was obviously dead.

As he got closer, Liu Yunxiang saw that the palace maid's clothes looked familiar. As he got closer, a gust of wind blew away the scattered hair on the female corpse's face, and it turned out to be... Zi'er!

Wan Yi hurriedly covered her mouth, then her feet went weak.

Liu Yunxiang hurriedly supported her, and the two of them stepped aside.

When the two guards raised the body, Wanyi was already crying.

"Sister Zi'er...why is it her...what happened..."

Liu Yunxiang exhaled deeply, "Stop crying, we have to send Hui Concubine back to Yixiu Palace as soon as possible."

After all, Wanyi had experienced something, so she quickly wiped away her tears and calmed down her mind.

They had been delivering meals to Yixiu Palace these days, and they became familiar with Zi'er. Zi'er is older and treats them as younger sisters. Her fiancé brought a lot of snacks to them a few days ago, and Zi'er even stuffed some into them.

A very good girl.

Liu Yunxiang did not dare to feel sad. When he entered the inner hall of Chengtian Palace, he saw Hui Bin sitting on the ground with empty eyes, looking as if she was overly frightened. The inner hall was in a mess, and there was a large blood stain on the dragon bed over there.

There is also a sweet and greasy smell in the air, which makes me feel particularly uncomfortable after smelling it. However, the smell is very light and not easy to detect.

She and Wan Yi looked at each other, and they helped Hui Bin up, put a big cloak on her, and hurriedly brought her out.

After returning to Yixiu Palace, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Yunxiang helped Hui Bin sit down and fed her some water first.

"My dear, forget it, everything will be fine."

"Zi'er begged me to save her..." Hui Bin's eyes were still blank, and her whole body was shaking as she spoke, "I want to save her... but the emperor is drunk... his eyes are red... very fierce... I'm so scared. …”

"Empress, stop talking." Liu Yunxiang frowned.

"I knelt down and begged the emperor... I begged him to let Zi'er go... He told me to get out... Zi'er did not escape after all... After the emperor left... she found a pair of scissors... and killed herself..."

Wanyi couldn't hold it back, sobbed and cried, "We are palace maids, but we are also human beings, why are you doing this to us?"

Liu Yunxiang hugged Hui Bin. Maybe some maids regarded the emperor's favor as luck, but not all maids thought so. Zi'er only looked forward to leaving the palace next year to marry her fiancé, who had been waiting for her for many years.

Hui Bin cried and fainted again. After Zhou Lihuai made the diagnosis, he let out a long sigh.

"I'll prescribe some anti-fetal medicines. You must rest."

Zi'er died, and the Queen Mother could only let Liu Yunxiang and Wanyi stay in Yixiu Palace temporarily.

Liu Yunxiang escorted Zhou Lihuai out. Seeing no one around, he whispered: "I just heard Hui concubine talk about what happened last night. Your Majesty..."

She paused and said hesitantly: "The Emperor's state seems not to be right."

Hui Bin said that the emperor's eyes were red at that time, and he looked very fierce. This was not a drunken act, it was clearly like an outbreak of animal nature.

And Hui Bin is in Chengtian Palace. If it wasn’t Zi’er, it might be Hui Bin…

She couldn't explain clearly, but she felt that it was not easy.

Zhou Lihuai was silent for a moment and said, "The water in the harem is too deep, so don't get involved."

"But I'm standing under a dangerous wall. If the wall falls, I can't escape."

Zhou Lihuai frowned, thinking that Liu Yunxiang was in Yixiu Palace now, and if Hui Concubine had something to do, she would definitely be implicated.

"The Imperial Hospital asked the emperor for Ping'an's pulse and diagnosed him with blood fever."

"Blood fever disease?"

"This is not a disease, just drink some fire-reducing tea, but if you drink alcohol, you may have some other symptoms."

Liu Yunxiang's mind wandered, "Then do you know where he drank last night?"

Zhou Lihuai nodded, "Rumeng Pavilion."

Liu Yunxiang frowned, where is Princess Heshuo!
