Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 326 Lan Ruo Awakens

Kunning Palace.

"Lan Ruo, you are crazy..."

The Queen screamed.

"You poisoned me, how do I know where the antidote is?"

"you know."

Concubine Lin stood up in despair.

"If there is no order from you, Queen, then even if Lan Ruo has the courage of heaven, she would not dare to poison the harem."

Concubine Lin suddenly knelt in front of the queen and kowtowed continuously.

"I beg the Queen... give me the antidote... I promise that I will never fight again. I just want to stay alive..."

I enjoyed looking at the yellow leaves.

This Concubine Lin is interesting. Although she is really afraid of death, her performance has invisibly confirmed the fact that the Queen poisoned her.

"You are so bold, Concubine Lin, to frame me, Your Majesty, I am innocent..."

The queen looked at the emperor for help, and she looked as innocent as possible.

How could Concubine Lin let her escape? Today she wanted the antidote and the Queen's life. This opportunity was rare and she couldn't give up.

"I know that the Queen poisoned Madam Yu. In order to save my life, I have been sick for several years and have not served her..."

The more Concubine Lin spoke, the sadder she became.

"Not long ago, the Emperor came to my Qingyue Palace, but Your Majesty, you couldn't tolerate him..."

"Your Majesty, I don't want to die..."

Concubine Lin burst into tears.

Huang Ye felt that the queen would not be defeated so easily. How would she save herself?

"Your Majesty, I really didn't know that Lan Ruo poisoned Madam Yu..."

"As for Concubine Lin, what you are saying is nonsense. I have been under house arrest these days. How could I have the ability to poison her?"

The queen would never admit it. Even if she talked about it to the ends of the earth, no one could stop her.

"Since the Queen refused to admit it, Concubine Lin insisted that she was poisoned by eating the deer jerky..."

"That's not easy. Just call the person who was in charge of cooking that day in the imperial kitchen and ask him and we'll know."

Prince Fu looked at the emperor and said.

"can."

The emperor nodded.

The person in charge of preparing the venison in the imperial kitchen that day was the imperial chef Eunuch Wu.

He had been waiting outside the door for a long time. When he heard the call, he hurried in and kowtowed.

"Eunuch Wu, right? Who told you to make venison that day?"

The third prince walked up to Eunuch Wu with his hands behind his back, stopped and asked him.

"That day…"

Because venison was not often available, Eunuch Wu remembered it very clearly.

"I heard that the palace's deer park killed the deer and sent the venison to the imperial kitchen."

"As far as I know, there wasn't much venison left, and it was always sent to the emperor without leaving any, right?"

The third prince continued to ask questions.

"Your Highness, the Third Prince, it was indeed only given to the Emperor in the past."

Eunuch Wu was so nervous that beads of sweat dropped down his face.

"Then how did you think of leaving a copy for Qingyue Palace?"

"It was the steward, the eunuch Liu who was the steward of the imperial kitchen who gave the order to this servant."

Eunuch Wu cried out for justice.

"Eunuch Liu asked me to leave a copy for Qingyue Palace, saying that the Concubine has regained her favor, and we in the Imperial Kitchen should try our best to curry favor with her."

"Explain it to Chief Steward Liu."

Manager Liu was also waiting outside. Upon hearing the summons, he quickly ran in and saluted.

"How did Chief Steward Liu think of sending a portion of the deer jerky to Qingyue Palace that day?"

The third prince continued to ask questions.

Manager Liu knew this would happen.

As expected, something happened to the venison, and he didn't dare to hide it.

"It was Nanny Yang from Kunning Palace who came to the Imperial Kitchen and told me that Concubine Lin had done a great service in serving the Emperor, so she was given a small portion of the deer jerky as a reward."

Nanny Yang walked out calmly and knelt down.

"Your Majesty is very clear. I only gave an order. The bowl of venison did not pass through my hands."

Huang Ye nodded. This Nanny Yang was no simple person. She did things flawlessly. No wonder she was able to replace Lan Ruo and become the head nanny of Kunning Palace.

"Then who took the venison back?"

"It's Sang'er. Most of the food for me is brought back by Sang'er."

Only then did Lin Jieyu remember what she had overlooked. That Sang'er was also very suspicious.

"Send that Sonny over here."

At this time Huang Ye and the Third Prince all had an ominous premonition. I thought Sang'er, wouldn't something happen to him?

Sure enough, the person who went to summon Sang'er soon came back to report.

After Concubine Jieyu left, Sang'er jumped into the well in Qingyue Palace and drowned.

"Your Majesty, the Queen has great means."

Lin Jieyu was so angry. It felt terrible that she knew who the murderer was but couldn't do anything about it.

"Lin Jieyu, you keep provoking me. Do you really think I am good-tempered and can't do anything to you?"

When the queen heard that Son'er was dead, she felt relieved. Now it was time for her to fight back.

"Your Majesty, I beg you to make a decision for me. Concubine Lin has slandered me... I am the queen of a country..."

The queen burst into tears and spoke with a choked voice.

"Does the Queen think that since there is no evidence to prove this, you can get away with it?"

The young Prince Fu just couldn't stand the Queen's hypocritical and pretentious attitude, and said in a sarcastic tone.

The queen was so choked by his words that she even forgot to pretend to cry. Could it be that... they still have some evidence in their hands?

"Why does Prince Fu say that?"

The queen wiped away her tears and asked tentatively.

"Look, the one kneeling, the Queen hasn't explained it clearly yet?"

The queen breathed a sigh of relief. There was no evidence to prove this, so she just had to deny it.

"Lan Ruo has just admitted that she was the one who poisoned me. How can this be related to me? If there is any problem, it is because of her that I was implicated."

"Empress, since I nursed you, would you allow me to ask you a question?"

Lan Ruo suddenly said.

The Queen narrowed her eyes. Lan Ruo's words just now about asking Concubine Lin to ask her for the antidote sounded like she said it unconsciously.

But the queen knew that Lan Ruo said that on purpose.

She might have been jealous that she had promoted Nanny Yang and replaced her, so she said it on impulse.

However, she did not doubt Lan Ruo's loyalty to her.

For so many years, she has been following me wholeheartedly. Isn't it just because she wants to have someone to rely on when she gets old?

The queen thought a lot in an instant, but in front of so many people, she still had to show her demeanor as the queen of a country.

"go ahead."

The queen spoke calmly, and she even smiled at Lan Ruo.

"Empress, my husband and child didn't die in an accident, did they?"

Lan Ruo looked into the Queen's eyes and asked slowly, word by word.

The queen's pupils shrank rapidly, and Lan Ruo saw guilt in her eyes.

What else does she not understand now? The Queen knows what happened back then. How cruel must such a young child be...

"I don't understand what you are saying?" The Queen would not admit that she knew the truth. She was still young at that time.

"Hehehe..."

"Woooooooo..."

Lan Ruo suddenly started crying and laughing.

For so many years, she has been wholeheartedly protecting the enemy who killed her husband and son.

How stupid and blind she must have been to not have thought that those accidents were simply untenable when the accident happened that year.
