The hero bends down

Chapter 20 Osmanthus Cake

The two fell into silence, but it was Han Xiuyi who laughed first and said, "I haven't seen my sister for a few days, and my sister came today to apologize to my sister."

She laughed at Yan Yan, Zhong Su stared blankly.

"My sister made a mistake that day and wronged my sister." Han Xiuyi stepped forward to hold Zhong Su's hand and said apologetically.

Only then did Zhong Su speak: "I, I didn't blame Empress Xiuyi for anything."

Although he was talking, he still stood, and Long Yi snorted coldly.

Only then did Zhong Su come to his senses, and invited Han Xiuyi and Long Yi into the hall, and ordered them to serve refreshments.

Long Yi still stared at Zhong Su's clothes.

Huaju was very alert, watching the timing, said a few words in Zhong Su's ear, and then Zhong Su blushed, entered the bedroom and changed into a clean and elegant palace gown.

Zhong Su re-entered the gate of the palace, erratic like a god, with moths and emerald eyebrows; his red face bloomed with lotuses, his skin was smooth and fat, and Long Yi's mind was slightly dazed.

The face of Concubine Qi is obviously full of literary essence, which is quite different from the character three years ago.

It's just that his demeanor is still lacking in fire, and his walking appearance is still a little clumsy.

Long Yi thought silently.

Zhong Su took his seat, and the three of them sat at the round table. Zhong Su was not good at opening his mouth. Although Long Yi could speak, he was unwilling to speak. Only Han Xiuyi spoke beside him. Spend.

Zhong Su was treated cautiously, and only replied with a few polite words.

While talking, Han Xiuyi picked up a few more cakes, and started to eat slowly, laughing while eating, "I never imagined that the cook in Yixi Garden could make such a good sweet-scented osmanthus cake."

Zhong Su said: "If Miss Xiuyi likes it, I can send people to make more and send them to Mingyuexuan."

Han Xiuyi said: "How dare you bother my sister."

Zhong Su smiled, shy and shy when he smiled.

Long Yi kept looking at Zhong Su, and when he saw Zhong Su's appearance at this time, he groaned coldly in his heart.

This man was so fierce when he hit someone, how could he be so ashamed after a few words from a woman, he looked like a young girl who didn't understand the world.

The emperor sipped his tea in silence.

The tea in Yixi Garden is a bit crude, inferior to Linsheng Palace, and also far from Mingyue Xuan.Han Xiuyi said that the sweet-scented osmanthus cake here is delicious, but I don't know if it is true or not.

He looked at the pastries on the table and picked up a piece.

Zhong Su still didn't make a sound, neither flattering nor flattering, just quietly waiting aside.

The emperor took the pastry and put it in his mouth.At this moment, Han Xiuyi let out an "oops".

Long Yi looked sideways, and saw Han Xiuyi pressing his lower abdomen with one hand, frowning his eyebrows, as if he was uncomfortable.

"What's wrong?" Long Yi put down the osmanthus cake in his hand.

Han Xiuyi covered her lower abdomen, looked up at the emperor, and said with a face that was about to cry: "Your Majesty, this concubine's stomach hurts so much."

Long Yi frowned, looked at Han Xiuyi's lower abdomen, and then at Zhong Su sitting next to him.

Han Xiuyi let out another "Ouch", stretched out his hand to grab Long Yi's hand and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, my concubine is in so much pain."

Long Yi was held tightly by Han Xiuyi's hand, and felt that Han Xiuyi's whole body was falling on him, Yingying's body was leaning against his arms, he frowned and grabbed Han Xiuyi's hand and said: "What's going on, didn't you feel fine just now?" Is it?"

Zhong Su also looked over with surprise.

Panting in Long Yi's delicate body, the woman turned her eyes slightly, glanced at Zhong Su in the dark corner of her eyes, and instantly turned her gaze to the osmanthus cake that Long Yi was holding before, her expression changed drastically: "Your Majesty, this osmanthus cake ..."

Long Yi and Zhong Su looked at the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in unison.

The sweet-scented osmanthus cake is as white as jade, and the cinnamon fragrance is swaying from the inside layer by layer.

"Your Majesty, there are... in the sweet-scented osmanthus cake..." Han Xiuyi wanted to say the word "poison", but the last word got stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say it.

Then, there was a cramping pain in her stomach.

Her face turned pale in an instant, she was not as self-confident as before, she was completely lying on Long Yi's body, even her hands were twitching constantly.

Long Yi's eyes tightened suddenly, and he said in a deep voice, "Call the imperial doctor."

Seeing the seriousness of the situation, Defu hurriedly bowed out and ordered someone to call the imperial doctor.

The colic in her abdomen became more and more severe, as if her whole intestines were going to be smashed.Han Xiuyi grabbed the emperor's sleeve tightly and raised her head.

As soon as she raised her head, Zhong Su saw that the woman's face was gray and white, and even her lips were blue-purple, like a ghost.But the woman's eyes were fixed on her.

"Emperor...Emperor...Emperor..." Han Xiuyi finally squeezed out a few words, which could not be formed into a sentence.

"My concubine, don't worry, I have already sent someone to call the imperial doctor." Long Yi comforted in a deep voice.

He hugged Han Xiuyi's body horizontally, looked at Zhong Su coldly and said, "What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and lead the way."

Zhong Su hurriedly stood up and led Long Yi to the bedroom in the side hall of Yixi Garden. While walking, various thoughts flashed in his mind.

Han Xiuyi was even more anxious when she saw Zhong Su, her chest rose and fell sharply, raised a hand, and pointed at Zhong Su's back tremblingly.

"The emperor...the emperor...she...she wants to kill the concubine." She said, black blood slid from the corner of her mouth, which was shocking.

"I know, I will see clearly." Long Yi bowed his head and said.

"She really...really wants to harm the concubine..." Han Xiuyi still didn't relax his hand, and this time he even stared at Zhong Su with all his tricks.

Zhong Su didn't look back, and quickly led Long Yi to the red tent bed in the hall.Long Yi put Han Xiuyi on the bed, seeing the woman's eyes still fixed on Zhong Su, he couldn't help frowning and turned around.

"Get out!" shouted the emperor.

Zhong Su stood beside the bed, looking at Han Xiuyi's ferocious face, he couldn't help hesitating.

"I tell you to go out!" The emperor drank again.

Pointing to the outside of the bedroom, the emperor said again, "Kneel outside the door."

Zhong Su raised his eyebrows and said, "Zhong Su didn't poison you."

"I want you to go out and kneel, don't you understand?" Long Yi shouted again with anger welling up in his eyes.

He was seldom angry like this.

Zhong Su lowered his head and walked outside the door, just in time for the imperial doctor to arrive.

This time the imperial doctor is not He Nian, but a newly promoted young doctor named Cheng Feng Nan.

Cheng Fengnan didn't stop, and went directly to the bedroom.

Zhong Su walked outside the house silently and knelt on the ground.Huaju quickly went to get a futon, and helped Zhong Su put it under his knees.

After a long time, Defu walked out of the bedroom, and Chuan Zhongsu entered the room.

Only then did Zhong Su get up, walked in again, walked around the screen, and saw Long Yi's slender back.

The emperor turned around slowly when he heard footsteps coming.When he turned around, he revealed a corner of the tent bed behind him.Zhong Su saw that Han Xiuyi's eyes were closed, his lips were already black, and bruises appeared on his face.

"Don't look." Long Yi said, "Han Xiuyi is dead."

"..." Zhong Su's heart skipped a beat.

"Xiao Su, tell me how I should deal with you." Long Yi's tone returned to a flat one, with no emotion or anger.

"I didn't poison you." Zhong Su still said the same words when he left.

"But Han Xiuyi ate your osmanthus cake and was poisoned to death." Long Yi looked directly at the person in front of him.

"Zhong Su didn't poison him." It was still the same sentence, and it was flat, neither happy nor angry.

"The current evidence points to you alone." Long Yi frowned.

Zhong Su raised his eyebrows and said, "Report to the Emperor, Zhong Su did not poison Han Xiuyi."

"..." Long Yi suspected that if he wasn't sure about this sentence, this person would keep saying it like this.

He simply shook his voice and sneered: "Even if the beauty is not poisoned, how do I believe it? Will General Zhenwu believe it, will the harem concubines believe it, will the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty believe it?"

Zhong Su didn't make a sound this time, and looked at Long Yi silently.

Who is General Zhenwu, he doesn't know.

But it should be related to Han Xiuyi.

It is also a role that makes the man in front of him a headache.

Long Yi didn't hear Zhong Su's further excuse, and paced back and forth in the room for a few steps.

Zhong Su saw that the four fingers on Long Yi's hand were stroking the piece of emerald jade, just like the first time he saw this person.

I touched it once and for all.

This matter is very serious.

Long Yi immediately thought of Qu Ji.

This matter was premeditated, but he didn't expect that Qu Yu would come up with such a scheme, and directly put Han Xiuyi to death, killing two birds with one stone.

To be precise, there are three birds, General Zhenwu and him are trapped in the scheme, and Concubine Qi is an incidental victim.

Ha ha.

The emperor secretly laughed in his heart, but his surface was as calm as water.

The imperial physician, father-in-law, and palace maid beside him did not dare to speak out.There was a dead silence in the house.

In the end, a person's voice was clear, resounding in the house, like pearls falling on a jade plate, the voice was not loud but could be heard clearly.

"Your Majesty, Zhong Su has a way to verify that the death of Empress Xiuyi was not caused by Zhong Su."

He said, looking directly at Long Yi.

And Long Yi happened to meet his eyes.
