The Legitimate Daughter Empress - C206
Chapter 205 – The Conspiracy
Lin He took out a few pills, but just as he was about to let the pearl take them, the pearl spat out another mouthful of blood.
“My condolences.” Lin He said.
Leng Mu kept staring at Su Fei, he had a bad feeling about this.
“What is this?” Lin He could not help but ask.
“Not long ago, Pearl wasn’t feeling well, but the imperial physician that called her over to prescribe medicine has already improved her condition. That’s why I dared to call you Imperial Physician Lin. I didn’t expect you to still be unable to save her life. ”
Lin He frowned, this matter was truly strange. However, he was only in charge of treating the patients. As for the cause of the patients’ illness and all other factors, he would not care about it. It was better to have less trouble in the palace.
“This one is powerless. Su Fei, please grieve.”
“Imperial Physician Lin, is she poisoned or something? Why did you suddenly vomit blood? ” Su Fei looked at Imperial Physician Lin with suspicion. Leng Mu had noticed Su Fei’s gaze.
“From the looks of it, it wasn’t due to the poison. It was a sudden death. I am powerless to help.” Lin He shook his head and sighed.
Leng Mu carried his medicine chest and followed behind Lin He, all the way while Leng Mu was deep in thought. This matter was too much of a coincidence. Not long ago, if he hadn’t made any inquiries wrong, this Pearl Concubine Qin and the Imperial Consort Leng had even gotten into an argument. According to normal logic, many people would think that it was the Concubine Qin who caused this. So this accident, Leng Mu was sure that it had something to do with Qin Luofei.
“Imperial Physician Lin, can you tell when this palace maid’s illness will start?”
Imperial Physician Lin said, “Probably within two hours. Why did you ask all of this all of a sudden? ”
“I’m just curious.” The cold curtain lowered in thought.
Leng Mu was still with Qin Luofei two hours ago, so it was definitely impossible for her to be the culprit.
The corner of Su Fei’s mouth lifted as she watched these people leave. Who told you to keep pestering me? Her good fortune was almost ruined by this little girl.
Just before Lin He arrived at Bright Moon Hall, Su Fei was drafting a letter. She didn’t expect Pearl to barge in and accidentally let her read what Su Fei had written. Su Fei could only use this method to kill her. In order to prevent Imperial Consort Leng from suspecting her, she had already made preparations.
In Jin Se Palace, he quickly found out about the news of Pearl’s death.
“What is it? “Who dares to kill my men?!” Imperial Consort Leng stood up from the desk.
“I don’t know what the situation is like, but I need to ask Su Fei before I can know what happened.”
Yun Er said from the side.
“Call Su Fei.” Imperial Consort Leng roared. Everything had been going wrong recently. The matter of the Empress Leng’s tombstone had not been dealt with well, and there came another troublesome matter.
She would not be at peace until she found out who the real culprit was. Imperial Consort Leng was most worried about Su Fei. After all, they had just met her not too long ago. She had to be careful not to let anyone see their true appearance.
“Imperial Consort Leng, it was my fault that I did not manage to protect the pearl well.” When Su Fei entered the Jin Se Palace, her eyes were slightly red. She acted very perfectly, to the point where even the Imperial Consort Leng could not see through her actions.
Imperial Consort Leng waved her hand and said, “Su Fei, please get up. I would like to know everything that has happened.”
Su Fei went silent after narrating what had happened.
“You said you saw her like this? What did the Imperial Physician Lin say? Was it poisoned or something else? ” Imperial Consort Leng looked at Su Fei.
Su Fei used the kernels in her hands to wipe the corners of her eyes and said: “Imperial Physician Lin said that Pearl died suddenly.”
“What is it? How did Pearl get so good and sudden? ” Imperial Consort Leng was in disbelief.
“Chenqie is also curious. Pearl has always been in good health, so to suddenly say that she died without a reason is really unfathomable. Could it be a few days ago … She’s angry at the Empress for taking the poison and committing suicide, right? ” Su Fei pointed her spear at Imperial Consort Leng.
After Imperial Consort Leng heard Su Fei’s words, she flew into a rage: “Insolent Su Fei, do you mean that Pearl’s sudden death was caused by me? I didn’t think about it if you didn’t say so. Pearl follows you every day, almost every step of the way, so why didn’t you notice her illness for two hours? How are you going to explain that, Su Fei? ”
Imperial Consort Leng was indeed a shrewd person, she quickly discovered this part.
“No matter how inseparable she is, she’s still not a shadow. What chenqie said just now wasn’t to doubt the Empress’s intentions.” After she finished speaking, she turned her head to look at Yun Yang. After the pearl returned from the Empress’s place, although it had wounds on its face, it was not fatal. However, who in the imperial harem would kill a maid for no reason? ” Su Fei raised her head sadly and looked at Imperial Consort Leng. Seeing that Imperial Consort Leng was silent, she couldn’t help but feel apprehensive.
“Su Fei, if you have something to say, quickly say it. Don’t beat around the bush like that. It would take more effort for you to listen.” Imperial Consort Leng was getting impatient.
Su Fei continued, “Empress, have you forgotten that Pearl has always offended someone a few days ago?”
Once Su Fei’s words were reminded, the first person Imperial Consort Leng thought of was Qin Luofei.
“Could it be her? If you say it like this, besides her, I really can’t think of anyone else.” But now, without any proof, how could he prove that she was the murderer? Furthermore, Pearl’s body was found dead suddenly, and there’s no proof at all. ” Imperial Consort Leng’s eyes turned sharp, causing Su Fei to tremble in fear, but she braced herself and continued.
“This chenqie doesn’t know how to find evidence anymore. Chenqie only thinks that Pearl died wrongly. Just because of those few words, they offended the Concubine Qin, and not only were their hands scalded, they were even pushed into the lake.
Su Fei cried softly, secretly looking at Imperial Consort Leng from the corner of her eyes. If Qin Luofei was here, the Imperial Consort Leng would probably chop her into pieces.
“Su Fei, this is none of your business.” To the Imperial Consort Leng, losing a servant was a small matter, but Qin Luofei actually dared to kill his own people, which meant that she did not put him in her eyes.
Su Fei saw that she had achieved her goal so she couldn’t stay for long. She quickly said, “Chenqie will be leaving now.”
Imperial Consort Leng looked at Su Fei’s back and said: “Yun Er, head to Huishang Hall.”
Even if there was no evidence, Imperial Consort Leng must definitely teach this Concubine Qin a lesson.
At this time, Qin Luofei had just finished eating, and was currently focused on reading the medical book on the swing. She hadn’t finished reading the medical book that she borrowed from Imperial Physician Lin last time.
“Miss, look who’s here.” Daihua saw Imperial Consort Leng walk into the Huishang Hall with a face full of vigilance.
When Qin Luofei saw the Imperial Consort Leng, she was stunned, and thought to herself: “What is this woman doing here safely?”
“Looks like he’s very angry.” Daffodil Daydream felt that something was wrong.
“Don’t worry about her. We’ll just deal with her. What should come will eventually come back.”
Qin Luofei stood up and walked in front of Imperial Consort Leng.
“Greetings to Imperial Concubine. May I know the Empress’s purpose in coming to this concubine’s palace?” Qin Luofei raised her brows, seeing the dark expression on the Imperial Consort Leng’s face, it was unknown what kind of trap she had come up with.
“What has Concubine Qin been busy with these past few days? From the looks of it, she’s even reading the medical book! ” Imperial Consort Leng stared at the book in her hands sharply.
Qin Luofei respectfully said, “I was just bored out of my mind, reading some medical books to pass the time. Is the Empress interested?”
“I don’t have as much time as you do. You should be well aware of my motive for coming here, right?” Imperial Consort Leng went straight to the point.
Qin Luofei was stupefied, she could not understand what the Imperial Consort Leng was saying.
“If Imperial Consort Leng has anything to say, please say it directly. There is no need to beat around the bush.”
Imperial Consort Leng said coldly: “The pearl is dead.”
Qin Luofei thought for a long time, and then remembered that the pearl Imperial Consort Leng had mentioned, was the palace maid who didn’t understand the rules.
“Empress, what’s the meaning of this? If Empress came to this chenqie, chenqie was afraid that she could not revive the pearl and help the Empress find the murderer. Empress, did you find the wrong person?” Qin Luofei had already roughly guessed the Imperial Consort Leng’s intentions, she undoubtedly thought that she had killed the pearl.
“Where have you been in the last four hours, Concubine Qin? What are you doing? ” Imperial Consort Leng asked.
“Imperial Concubine, are you suspecting chenqie? “Chenqie has been in the palace the entire time and has yet to leave. If you don’t believe me, you can ask the palace maids by my side.” Qin Luofei frowned on the inside, but she would not allow this woman to bully her.
Imperial Consort Leng sneered and said, “You … “Don’t let me get the evidence. If I find the evidence, I will let you die with her.”
“I’m afraid that will disappoint Imperial Concubine, chenqie is confident that she didn’t kill anyone, and she doesn’t have the habit of harming others. If the Empress really finds evidence, chenqie will definitely listen to your orders.” Qin Luo Fei raised her head and looked at Imperial Consort Leng aggressively.
This woman loved to frame him. She might have killed the pearl.
The Imperial Consort Leng’s face darkened in anger, Yun Er who was standing at the side continuously comforted the Imperial Consort Leng to not be angry.
“Wait for me here.”
Imperial Consort Leng angrily walked out of Huishang Hall’s gate, but accidentally tripped on the threshold and almost fell down.
“Why don’t you fall? I don’t want to waste my time thinking about you. ” Qin Luofei looked in the direction the Imperial Consort Leng left with ice-cold eyes.
Miss, she is obviously trying to frame you, you were clearly training with the Master Leng four hours ago.
“If she wants to frame us, we have no proof. Regardless of her, let her go and cause trouble. She couldn’t do anything to me if she couldn’t find evidence, but how could the pearl have died for no reason at all? “Who is the real murderer?” Qin Luofei felt that this matter was not that simple.
The first person that Pearl’s dead Imperial Consort Leng thought of was herself, wasn’t this clearly asking to be blamed? Other than the Imperial Consort Leng s, who in the imperial harem hated him so much that she wanted to frame her?
Qin Luofei thought for a long time, but in the end, she only thought of one person, Su Fei. Previously, during her interactions with Su Fei Fei, Qin Luofei had felt that Su Fei’s gaze was a little strange. From the looks of it, she was not standing with the Imperial Consort Leng. If it really was her …
If so, what was her purpose in coming to the palace?
Qin Luofei thought of this and immediately sent someone out to inquire about Pearl’s death. To die suddenly was to die without proof, and he had a grudge with Pearl recently. If he did not investigate this matter, it would not be good for her reputation.
“Miss, the people outside said that you were the one who killed the pearl.” Daffodil Daydream said worriedly.
Qin Luofei sat in her room, carefully sipping her tea. Perhaps it was because she had experienced too much gossip, but now she was numb to it. She no longer cared so much about the opinions of others towards her. However, she would still find the best time to uncover the culprit and return the innocence of the culprit.
“Miss, why are you so calm?” Sunflower was so anxious that it wanted to jump.
“What’s the use of being anxious? Daffodil Daydream, you should also sit down and have a nice cup of tea.” They can’t do anything to me without evidence. “
