Manchu civil and military bow down

Luqi stood quietly in front of the palace gate, closed her eyes pitifully and tiredly, she knew what the third princess was looking for.

With Yandi and his party, the three princesses finally found out the cause of the disease, which originated from the incense that was prevalent in the palace at that time.There is a kind of poisonous flower among the medicinal materials for making incense, and the whole body is poisonous.

The empress liked it very much at first, but later she felt a little uncomfortable when she smelled it, and she developed dizziness and vomiting symptoms.After hearing this, the emperor banned this kind of incense in the imperial city.

Unexpectedly, the hidden dangers planted at the beginning have now borne fruit.

It's just that what's the use of the three princesses looking for it like this.All the utensils in Fengluan Palace have been carefully reviewed by countless Si Hefang, and then carefully inspected by her before entering the palace, there is no possibility of deviation.

Luqi signaled the maids behind her to stand still, and said softly, "Princess, everyone is here."

Bu Liuyue finally found the letter left by Empress Cheng in the dark grid in front of the dressing table.There was thunder and showers outside, lightning and silver snakes by the window, in the sudden bright white light, her face was as white as paper.With cold fingers, he hastily opened the letter paper. The elegant handwriting on it was a chilling guess.

She thought that her mother hadn't paid attention to this matter seriously, and she thought that this time her mother had hope of recovery.Unexpectedly, before the flower banquet, she had already written the suicide note—an account of her funeral, her marriage, the affairs of the family, and the affairs of the prince's brother.

At the end of the letter, I lightly stated my guess... If I can't return safely from the flower banquet, then it could only be her.

The handwriting was even blurred by tears. We have known each other since we were young, and we are both servants and friends. Who would have expected this ending.

The eldest princess noticed that she was emotionally unstable, she froze for a moment, and came over to comfort her.

Unexpectedly, Bu Liuyue clenched the letter paper tightly with her fingers, turned her head suddenly, her eyes were red and bloodshot, she stood up all of a sudden, and stared at Lu Qi.Everyone in the palace was shocked.

Luqi was terrified, but watching her grow up since she was a child, she didn't think that Bu Liuyue would hurt her, so she said softly, "Did it say something in the letter?"

Her words were interrupted by a slap.

Snapped.

Incredibly crisp.The moment they fell, everyone raised their heads, their eyes shocked and unbelievable.

With a bang, lightning split the sky.

Bu Liuyue's eyes were bloodshot, and after looking at her for a long time, her mind went blank and she was confused. She said word by word: "You have been serving your mother since you were three years old... From the palace to the palace, you have never treated me badly... Mother is afraid that it will delay your marriage. Married, and I tried to persuade you to leave the palace several times... No one in the entire Fengluan Palace or even the imperial palace dared to treat you as a court lady, and regarded you as a half-master in their hearts——Mother often said that she was the one who was sorry for you and wanted to marry you. Seeing that you have no children and still blame yourself, tell me, tell me... I will treat you kindly in the future."

Bu Liuyue's tears fell suddenly.

Lu Qi listened to her every word with a pale face.

Bu Liuyue was already mad with anger, she raised her hand, but couldn't slap her.

He covered his face and cried.

"...But you treated her like this! She treats you as a close relative, but you only want her to die!——Why did you kill her! She obviously trusts you the most!"

"Why...why..."

The eldest princess was also stunned. She went in and out of the palace all the year round and made good friends with Empress Cheng.Naturally, she also recognizes Luqi. Luqi grew up with Empress Cheng, and they are as close as sisters. They act cautiously and are loyal.If there is a spy in Fengluan Palace, it can't be her, and it won't do her any good to murder the empress.

The eldest princess called someone to support Bu Liuyue, who was half kneeling and crying, walked up to Luqi, and asked coldly, "What's going on."

Lu Qi pursed her lips and said nothing.She took a deep breath to calm down the sadness in her heart.As the grand maid in charge, in the past 30 years, she admits that she has never done anything to shame the queen.But the sudden accusation made by the third princess cannot be unfounded.

Luqi couldn't feel any hatred for Bu Liuyue, so she bent down and picked up the letter that Bu Liuyue dropped on the ground.

Looking at ten lines at a glance, his eyes fell on the last words of Queen Cheng.

——I pretended to be sick these days, but it was just to lure the snake out of the hole.I knew that the end was approaching, and this body could last about another month, so I held a flower feast to lure out the real culprit.This trip to the flower banquet is a good time to kill me, and those who intend to harm me will definitely not let it go.I must be more cautious and pay attention to the clues around me.

However, if I didn't catch the suspicious person and didn't come back alive, then the only possibility is your Aunt Luqi.After all, she was the only person I brought up the mountain without being on my guard.

Luqi closed her eyes, tears wet the already blurry handwriting.

She felt great sorrow in her heart, and her mouth was full of bitterness.Before going to the Jokhang Temple, she sensed that something was wrong with the queen, and after many inquiries to no avail, she never expected the queen to bet her own life.

Enduring the pain, after the queen's illness, she was the most cautious person in Fengluan Palace. In order to avoid people taking advantage of her loopholes, she changed the clothes she wore every day.Scene by scene recalled.

The only other thing on her body is the pearl earrings on her ears.

Finally she took off the earring with trembling fingers.There is a slight jasmine fragrance on the earrings, which is the favorite fragrance of her adopted daughter Yunxiu.This girl loves beauty, she dyed the perfume with jasmine flowers herself, and rubbed it behind her ears and wrists, it was extraordinarily fresh and moving.But now, the jasmine fragrance smells mixed with another smell.

She gritted her teeth and smashed the earrings on the ground. With a crackling sound, the fake pearls shattered and powder piled up.

Another fragrance slowly oozes out...

Bu Liuyue's crying stopped.

The eldest princess was also stunned.

The noble ladies in the palace showed a dazed look.

"This incense, isn't it the one that was banned in the palace back then..."

Luqi's fingers trembled, and it was raining heavily outside Fengluan Palace. Her gaze passed over the maid who bowed her head silently, and landed on the last person.

From the moment she dropped the pearl, the beautiful court lady in a blue dress had a face as dead as a dead person, with shock and despair in her widened eyes.

She knelt down first, with tears already filling her face: "No, aunt, I don't know, I don't know that the pearl is fake, I don't know that the powder is mixed with poisonous incense..." She broke down in tears: "This earring It was given to me by Shuanghua, and I thought it was in good condition, so I used it to please my aunt... Shuanghua, Shuanghua, Shuanghua, come out—come out—”

She turned her head and searched helplessly among the crowd. She searched all around, but she didn't see the figure of Shuanghua.

There was a bang of thunder and lightning.

On the Hanbai stone steps, a bright smoky purple long skirt appeared, and through the sound of rain, there was a woman's grief-stricken, cold and trembling voice: "Shuang Hua, is this the name of that bitch?"

An umbrella separates the black rain.The palace lantern illuminated the visitor, Su Peiyu's lips were pale and her eyes were reddish, it looked like she had been crying for a long time.Her arrival brought the atmosphere of the entire palace to the bottom.

Bu Liuyue was stunned.

The eldest princess didn't know why for a while.

As soon as the queen passed away, Su Peiyu didn't dare to be presumptuous in Fengluan Palace, her heart full of bitterness turned into trembling, she turned her anger to Luqi: "Is this the good maid you taught? - a court lady... a cheap Maid... how dare she, how dare she kill my brother just like that!"

The voice was tearful and bloody, mournful and sad.

Pushing away the maid's support, Su Peiyu said: "My younger brother is used to it, and it's the first time I like someone so much. I follow that lowly maid in everything. During the flower banquet, I even worked hard to treat that shameless lowly maid Get out of the palace. My brother is infatuated, but she just wants to use my brother's hand to escape from the palace!"

Su Peiyu burst into tears, and said: "...I finally found out about my stupid brother and settled in the house of that lowly servant girl. Unexpectedly, under the cliff behind the house, there is my brother's body lying there."

Her five fingers are dyed with bright red Koudan, and now her hair is disheveled, like a female ghost, holding Luqi's shoulder and shaking constantly: "——you find that lowly maid for me! Find it! Tell me about that lowly maid!" News, my brother's life, I want her to pay in blood!"

Su Shuangxu...

also died.

The news exploded in everyone's hearts like a thunderbolt.The eldest princess couldn't stand it anymore, and asked someone to come forward and get rid of the crazy Su Peiyu first.

Those present were kneeling, crazy, crying, their voices came and went, accompanied by heavy rain and thunder.As an elder, the eldest princess suffered from a splitting headache. In the precarious wind and rain, she heard the crackling voices of a few court ladies.

"Ah... I also remember... Shuanghua was very close to that young master of the Su family."

"But Shuanghua doesn't like him... Shuanghua was forced into the palace by her family. She often heard that she still has a childhood sweetheart waiting for her."

The eldest princess turned her head away, squatted down, and picked up the pearl powder that was broken on the ground with her fingers.Gong Xiang, which was popular at the time, remains cold and quiet after years.Refined from the poisonous flowers of Yandi, the toxicity is very weak, but it is fatal to some people, not to mention Aluan who is about to die.She lowered her eyes, but didn't look at Bu Liuyue who was in a trance, or Su Peiyu who was mad and suffering, because of Su Shuangxu's death.

She remembered vaguely.

On this day of frequent disasters, she did not see her eldest daughter and youngest son all day.

Bu Jinglan reached out to catch the rain from the palace eaves.

Long jade-colored clothes, long wet hair hanging down the waist, elegant face, but cold eyes.

The guard was on the side, not daring to show his breath, and said: "The young master of the Xu family was not injured. When we rushed over, he was still running away. After passing your words, everyone in the Yanyu Guard stopped chasing and killing. Hurt him a lot."

Bu Jinglan didn't smile, but said in a cold tone, "Su Peiyu really takes herself more and more seriously."

The guard could sense the killing intent on the master, and held his breath, he said, "My lord, we can't move the Su family now, at least... At least we have to wait for Su Peiyu to ascend."

Bu Jinglanruo and Suosi smiled, tilted their heads, their eyes were like the aurora in the deep sea: "Well, she will die after the matter is over."

The guard shuddered and lowered his head, not daring to guess what His Highness was thinking.All the officials in Yandi have only eight characters in their evaluation of Bu Jinglan, which is unpredictable and moody.Even at a young age, he was more terrifying than his father.

How stupid is Su Peiyu to really think that the meager friendship at the beginning allowed her to control His Highness?

Bu Jinglan glanced at the sky, and a trace of hostility flashed across her brows: "When it comes to the Xu family, she really thinks she has lived too long."

The guard didn't hesitate for a long time, and waited until Bu Jinglan's face turned pale, and then asked hesitantly: "Your Highness, you are so angry...why?"

Bu Jinglan sneered, with gloomy eyes, turned and entered the palace without leaving a word.

The guard was confused.Another guard who often accompanied Bu Jinglan couldn't stand it any longer, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a low voice: "It's probably because of that Mr. Xu." He said meaningfully: "That person, you can't touch him." ah."

The person in front was surprised: "But isn't Mr. Xu not injured?"

The latter person said: "Not being injured doesn't mean nothing is wrong. This time, Your Highness has calculated everything about the Xu family - Zhaomin. She will either not speak up, or if she does, everyone will be involved. Her own innocence and reputation will not be preserved." , Xu He also wants to bear the name of murder."

The latter person slowly said: "After all, the Xu family doesn't care at all."

"That room can be used by Su Shuangxu to settle down women. No, the maid's favorite palace incense is still burning - this incense has long been banned in the palace. To arrange a song of Su Shuangxu's affectionate smile of Qianlibu Xiangbo beauty, that's it. Cleared up the suspicion of murdering the queen. And the majestic princess Zhaomin, who appeared alone in a house in the wilderness, was suspicious in the first place, and she couldn't explain it herself."

"Insulting and offending, Zhao Min was drugged. Quan Ke regarded it as Su Shuangxu who was in a hurry to save others, so he didn't care about it. In this way, Xu He, on the contrary, really killed an innocent person - or the favorite concubine of the dynasty. My brother. If Su Peiyu took advantage of the issue and cried to the Holy Majesty, Xu He would not take it for granted, even though he has countless people protecting him, his reputation will be ruined."

"So... if you don't want to have so many troubles, the Xu family must admit to being dumb."

The person in front opened his mouth wide: "The siblings of the Xu family, with their temperament, how could they suffer such a disadvantage."

The latter said: "Yes, but they all have scruples. Zhaomin is afraid that Su Peiyu will hurt his younger brother by taking advantage of Su Shuangxu's death, while Xu He is afraid that the news will hurt Zhaomin's reputation. No matter what, this is the only way to go."

The person in front was stunned: "But...they...have suffered this loss, and they can't swallow it."

The last person nodded: "I definitely can't swallow this breath. It is estimated that the young master of the Xu family has already started to think about how to bring down the Su family. But before the emperor dies, the Su family can't fall—His Royal Highness, this time, it can be regarded as a thorough one." It is the enemy of the Xu family."

Xue Chengyu hurried back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, his long hair was wet with rain, his complexion was cold and slightly pale.He closed the umbrella and handed it to someone else, and the servant covered him with a silver-white fox fur. He asked in a low voice, "Where is father?" The servant respectfully said, "Young master, the prime minister is in the study."

Xue Chengyu responded and walked to the study.

Pushing open the door, my father raised his head and met his eyes.

The air in the study was warmer than outside, and there was a charcoal fire burning in the small stove on the table.

Prime Minister Xue looked at his eldest son, remained silent for a long time, and said, "How long have you been searching for this letter?"

The letter in his hand had just arrived from Yandi, written by the King of Yan himself, and [-] yuan was urgently delivered from Yandi to the capital, and he ran away all night, killing three horses.

Xue Chengyu looked distant and indifferent, and said, "Yes."

Silver and white fox fur, wide sleeves and green crown.The eight-year-old child prodigy in front of the Golden Palace was now tall and tall, with an imposing aura.

Prime Minister Xue was startled, sighed and terrified in his heart, this is his own son, but he was becoming more and more unable to see clearly what was going on in his heart.

Moving his lips, Prime Minister Xue said, "You really hide your thoughts far and deep."

Xue Chengyu raised his eyebrows, not agreeing with his father's statement.

Prime Minister Xue also quickly felt that what he said was wrong, he shook his head, and asked with complicated eyes: "When did you realize that King Yan's mind was wrong."

Xue Chengyu walked over with a calm tone: "Very small."

"Eight years old?"

Xue Chengyu: "After that."

Prime Minister Xue sighed again, without speaking, he handed the letter into Xue Chengyu's hand, with a worried expression on his face, some words welled up in his throat but he didn't say them out.

Xue Chengyu took the letter, lowered his eyes and said, "Father, don't worry, I have my own measure."

He put the letter in his sleeve, and said slowly: "When I was young, you were afraid that I would cause trouble if I was too sharp. In fact, there is no need."

Xue Chengyu raised his head and said in a cold tone, "It's their fault that they met me."
