Chapter 146: Death of Concubine Shu 1
The sun is scorching and the cicadas are chirping.
Inside Jingxi Palace.
"Sister Ning, why is there cold sweat on your head..." Shunpin looked at the person beside her with a little surprise.
Ning Wanyin's face turned pale, she covered her abdomen and said, "My stomach hurts...Imperial physician...Call the imperial physician..."
Lianrui hurried to ask for the imperial physician.
Concubine Shu was almost laughing in her heart, but her face was full of worry, "Concubine Ning, what's wrong with you?"
"I don't know... why it hurts so much..." Ning Wanyin's face looked painful.
Lu Zhaoyi tried hard to suppress her smile. She deliberately put the agate bracelet on her left hand, close to Ning Wanyin's side, just waiting for this moment.
Your child is going to die!
The other concubines did not know the inside story, but looking at this scene, it looked like she was murdered because of her pregnancy.
Could it be that Ning Wanyin...
Everyone was shocked and had different expressions.
Not a moment later.
The emperor and Zhao Yuanpan arrived at the same time.
Xiao Xiazi was guarding outside the palace gate. Lian Rui ran out crying and asked the imperial physician for help, saying that the master had a stomachache and suspected that someone had poisoned her...
He rushed to find the imperial physician and asked his eunuchs to report to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, your humble concubine!"
All the concubines in the hall stood up and saluted.
The only person there was Ning Wanyin, who was curled up in pain and lying on the ground, unable to get up.
"Wanwan." Helian Qi walked to Ning Wanyin in two or three steps, held her in his arms, and shouted to the outside of the door: "President Zhao, come and take a look!"
As soon as Judge Zhao arrived at the palace gate, he trotted in and quickly felt the pulse. His face was very solemn:
"Empress Ning, you have abdominal pain caused by the abortion drugs..."
Helian Qi's expression froze in an instant, and his aura was fierce and ferocious: "What did you say?"
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Fortunately, Your Majesty is not pregnant, so the abortion drug only causes menstrual flow to be blocked... Is Your Majesty's period delayed for a few days?" asked Zhao Yuanpan.
Ning Wanyin was in so much pain that she couldn't speak.
Lian Rui replied, "Yes, it was postponed. I just arrived this morning."
"That's right. Your Majesty's body is not in good condition, her period is delayed, and she is also suffering from medication. The two factors together cause her to suffer from severe abdominal pain." Judge Zhao nodded.
Helian Qi breathed a sigh of relief. He thought Ning Wanyin was pregnant and was harmed by the abortion drug...
"Relieve Concubine Ning's pain immediately." Helian Qi urged.
Seeing her fall to the ground in pain and unable to speak, he suddenly realized that he was very worried about Ning Wanyin. Seeing her suffer, he felt sad.
Judge Zhao quickly took out a medicine bottle from the medicine box, "This is a painkiller pill, Concubine Ning, take it first. I will prescribe a prescription to warm the uterus and nourish the body!"
Lian Rui took it, took out the painkiller pills, brought some warm water, and fed it to Ning Wanyin.
Only then did Ning Wanyin's pale expression ease a little.
"Call Wu Mi over!" Helian Qi's face was gloomy.
He understood what Zhao Yuanpan said. Ning Wanyin's menstrual cycle was irregular, which caused her menstrual period to be delayed...
But she got the abortion pill.
What does it mean?
Someone mistakenly thought that Ning Wanyin was pregnant, so they poisoned her!
Helian Qi must catch this person! Fortunately, Ning Wanyin is not pregnant, otherwise she would have miscarried today.
When Concubine Shu saw this scene, the joy in her heart was like a basin of cold water poured over her head.
what happened?
Isn't she pregnant?
After thinking about it, Concubine Shu realized that it was not menstrual irregularity at all, but Ning Wanyin, the extremely cunning vixen, who faked pregnancy to deceive people!
She asked Shunpin to pretend to give birth, and now she is pretending to be pregnant herself!
He is so cunning and hateful!
Lu Zhaoyi was also disappointed. Ah? You are not pregnant?
It’s a pity that the Queen Mother missed such a good game.
Wu Mi quickly arrived at Jingxi Palace and checked the spices and tea in the palace. The summoned female doctor Sun checked the concubines and palace maids.
Shunpin and Lu Zhaoyi were next to Ning Wanyin on both sides.
Doctor Sun was the first to check their belongings.
After checking on Concubine Shun, she stopped in front of Concubine Lu with a serious expression.
Concubine Shu looked at this scene calmly and glanced at the scented fan in the hand of the palace maid beside Concubine Lu...
It was discovered that it was Concubine Lu who murdered Ning Wanyin.
It has nothing to do with her.
Unfortunately……
Ning Wanyin's pregnancy turned out to be fake, which wasted such a good plan of hers.
But the next moment, Concubine Shu was stunned...
Doctor Sun lifted Consort Lu's hand and stared at the agate bracelet on her wrist. After taking off the bracelet and examining it, she said with certainty:
"The three beads on this bracelet are not agate, but similar unscented beads. They have a contraceptive effect, but can also cause miscarriage."
Concubine Lu was shocked and said, "This was given to me by Concubine Shu! How could it be poisonous?"
All the concubines looked at Concubine Shu.
After thinking for a while, Concubine Shu realized that this was the gift she had given to Concubine Lü several years ago...
"I have given this bracelet to Concubine Lu many years ago. As time goes by, I don't know how many people have touched it. Is Concubine Lu trying to put the blame on me?" Concubine Shu glanced at Concubine Lu with cold eyes.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Lu actually noticed it, replaced the scented fan she had prepared, and bit back.
Concubine Lu had a grief-stricken look on her face. "Shufei, you have such a cruel heart! On the second day that I served His Majesty, you gave me an agate bracelet... I have not been pregnant for so many years, and it is all your fault..."
As she spoke, Concubine Lü knelt before the emperor and cried, "I have always thought that I was unlucky and could not get pregnant, but I didn't expect that someone was trying to harm me! Please, Your Majesty, help me!"
Concubine Shu was so angry at her hypocritical crying that she wanted to vomit blood.
That's right, she did take birth control pills.
That was when Concubine Lü first entered the palace. She was chosen by Empress Xue and was quite favored by her. In order to consolidate her favor, Concubine Shu had attacked her...
But that was a few years ago.
Since His Majesty ascended the throne, Concubine Lu has rarely served in the emperor's bed, and Concubine Shu is too lazy to poison her again...
Unexpectedly, Concubine Lu actually framed her.
"Your Majesty, please be wise. When I gave her the bracelet, she did not say it was poisonous. Now, after several years, it is far-fetched to frame me again!" Concubine Shu argued.
Helian Qi's gaze darted back and forth between the two of them, his eyes cold and fierce.
Both of them are suspects.
At this moment, Ning Wanyin, who was lying in his arms, said weakly:
"My period was just delayed for a few days, but I didn't expect it to cause such a big fuss. I thought that if it was Concubine Lu who attacked me, she would need a helper. Concubine Lu doesn't see me on weekdays..."
"If the Concubine Shu had not summoned the concubines for several days, and if Concubine Lü had not happened to be sitting in the first seat below me, how could I have been tricked?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room looked at him with awe.
There is a detail that is easily overlooked, that is, if Lu Zhaoyi had not been sitting next to Ning Wanyin, she would not have been able to poison her.
Helian Qi remembered that the last time Shunpin got into trouble, it was also in Jingxi Palace.
If it’s a coincidence once, will every time be a coincidence?
Also, a while ago, Concubine Wen had a difficult delivery, and Concubine Jing even left the palace to avoid her...
He has always had few offspring...
With all the suspicions piling up, it was impossible for Helian Qi to keep Concubine Shu.
Although Helian Qi felt that it was a bit suspicious that Concubine Shu directly poisoned the reward, nothing could be done without Concubine Lu.
At least she was involved, she wanted to cause Ning Wanyin to have a miscarriage.
"Shu Fei plotted to murder a concubine. She should be sent to the Criminal Court for strict investigation!" Helian Qi said coldly.
Concubine Shu's body swayed and she fell to the ground, "Your Majesty, I am innocent..."
