Chapter 441 Falling into the Trap

"My maid didn't mean to harm the empress. It's just that Aunt Huancui said that the blood tooth scented tablets will only make the empress more painful during childbirth and make her suffer more. It will not be fatal. That's why the maid dared to respond.

Who would have thought that this thing could actually cause the empress to bleed profusely..."

Seeing that Coral opened her mouth, the others hurriedly told the truth.

"My servant also accepted Aunt Huancui's money and watched Concubine Shu giving birth in the palace. Whenever there was any news, she would report it to Aunt Huancui."

"Aunt Huancui gave the servant a lot of gold and silver, and promised that the servant would be able to leave the palace as soon as possible and be free. The servant then promised Aunt Huancui that no matter whether Concubine Shu gave birth to a prince or a princess, she would try her best to get this thing down.

Into the wet nurse's diet."

"My maid received orders from Aunt Huancui..."

The more Qin Yishu listened, the darker his expression became.

Such behavior is either to kill the concubine Shu, or to harm the newly born prince and princess.

Such audacious and evil-hearted actions are truly abominable!

"Father, these are all kinds of things that were found on their bodies to harm their mothers, concubines and young sisters." Qin Peiyou handed over the things and then knelt in front of Qin Yishu.

"Father, my mother and concubine have always been very cautious in the palace and have never intentionally harmed anyone. However, there are people who want to harm my mother and concubine so much that they even have to take her life. They are not even willing to let go of their newly born baby sister.

However, such behavior cannot be tolerated by heaven and earth."

"At such an old age, I rarely ask my father to do anything for me. Today, I beg my father to severely punish the murderer, make decisions for my mother and concubine, and make decisions for my younger sister!"

After Qin Peiyou finished speaking, he kowtowed heavily several times.

When he raised his head again, Qin Yishu's eyes were full of ardent hope.

When Qin Yishu saw this, his heart couldn't help but feel tight.

And the Aunt Huancui mentioned by those people was none other than a maid beside the queen.

This maid was the queen's dowry. Because of her background and age, and because she had always served the queen personally, she had a high prestige in the queen's palace and even the entire harem, and was highly respected by everyone, so she was respectfully called aunt.

Now Huancui actually ordered someone to harm Concubine Shu...

Ever since Qin Peiyuan's leg injury, the Queen regarded Concubine Shu and Qin Peiyou as mortal enemies, and even ignored the superficial courtesy. It can be said that she did not look like a middle palace at all.

Taking everything into consideration, if Huancui did this without the queen's thoughts and instructions...

I'm afraid no one will believe it.

Qin Yishu thought for a moment and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Get up. You don't need to say anything about this. I have made a decision in my heart."

"Bring Huancui here, I want to question him personally. In addition, no rumors about the matters here are allowed, otherwise we will deal with it immediately."

"It is my decree that the queen's old illness has relapsed and she needs to rest in the palace. From now on, she is not allowed to go out. No one is allowed to visit her without my decree."

"Yes." Minghai hurriedly accepted the order and left.

Deliver orders, seize people, block news, and strengthen security in the palace...

Suddenly, even the patrols of the palace guards were much denser than before. The entire harem was in panic. Seeing that the situation was not going right, the concubines in each palace closed the palace doors tightly.

Huancui was quickly brought to Qin Yishu and others.

Kneeling down to salute, Huancui's body stood straight, her head lowered on her chest, "I wonder what the emperor's orders are when he calls your maid here."

"You really don't know?" Qin Yishu threw all the blood tooth scent tablets and other things in front of her, "Do you recognize these?"

Huancui's eyes didn't squint, and he didn't answer.

"Take Huancui down and torture him."

After Qin Yishu finished speaking, he added, "Please come over and ask the queen."

When she heard the word "torture", Huancui remained expressionless, but when she heard Qin Yishu say that he wanted to invite the queen over, he broke free from the guards who wanted to take her down, and kowtowed to Qin Yishu repeatedly.

"This matter was done by my servant alone and has nothing to do with anyone else!" Huan Cui replied loudly.

"You are the queen's dowry, and you only serve in front of the queen. At this time, you want to murder the concubine Shu and the princess. What is your motive?" Qin Yishu asked.

"The maid follows the empress into the palace, and it is difficult to avoid contact with the concubine Shu on weekdays. Every time the maid comes to the palace, the concubine Shu treats the maid with great contempt. The maid is dissatisfied and resentful towards the concubine Shu...

"

"Take it down." Qin Yishu interrupted Huancui, "Examine it carefully and be sure to find out something useful!"

"Yes!" The guard reached out and pulled Huancui away.

"Your Majesty, this matter was truly the work of my maid, and was not instigated by anyone! Your Majesty, you must believe me. You are responsible for this matter, and what I said is not half-false..."

As Huancui was silenced by the guards, the stern rebuttal stopped abruptly.

The palace returned to its due calm.

Qin Yishu had a headache and stretched out his hands to rub his temples.

"If your father is tired, you might as well go back and rest for a while. I can just stay here with my mother and concubine." Qin Peiyou said.

"It doesn't matter." Qin Yishu said, "It's the same thing to rest here."

Concubine Shu had just given birth to a daughter for him, so how could he leave at such a critical moment?

Not only today, but also every day in the future, it would be good for him to come and visit from time to time.

He never knows which one will come first, accident or tomorrow, he must cherish every moment of the present.

"Yes." Qin Peiyou agreed and ordered the palace servants to prepare tea and some snacks.

He Yanxiu took half a step forward, knelt down and kowtowed, "I thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

Qin Yishu, "???"

A trace of panic flashed across his face. After thinking about it for a while, Qin Yishu looked at He Yanxiu and asked tentatively, "What kind of grace are you grateful for?"

I'm not afraid at all, I'm just afraid of He Yanxiu's sudden gratitude.

Thank you quickly enough, without leaving any room for regret.

The most important thing is that he knows nothing about this matter...

Do you feel like you have fallen into He Yanxiu's trap?

Very uneasy.

"Wei Chen is here to express gratitude to Lord Ping'an County." He Yanxiu replied loudly.

Qin Yishu, "..."

Yes, just now because he heard that Concubine Shu was not good, he was so anxious that he gave her a very heavy reward in order to urge Su Yujin to do his best to treat Concubine Shu.

But there was nothing wrong with her just now. It was just a trick used by Su Yujin to lure those who wanted to attack Concubine Shu and wait to see the result to report the news.

This theory of reward does not count.

But……

If he wanted to say nothing at this time, I'm afraid He Yanxiu would have a basket of words waiting for him.

Concubine He Shu did suffer from massive bleeding and her life was in danger.

Why don't you talk nonsense? A man's words mean what he says.

Although there was nothing wrong with Concubine Shu, this move also helped to find out the real culprit behind it...
