Chapter 789
As early as the day of the solar eclipse, Xiao Xixi had already seen from the face the hidden killing intent in Concubine Jing's heart.
But she didn't have any real evidence, and it was useless to say it, so she pretended not to know anything and asked people to investigate the Shao family in private.
Shao Xuanshi was put into the cold palace, and the Shao family would definitely react to this.
As long as you look carefully, you can always find clues.
The result did not disappoint Xiao Xixi.
In the bedroom, Luo Qinghan had already changed his clothes.
The azure-colored loose-fitting uniform, without a belt, only had a hosta on his head, a very comfortable and simple dress.
It looked a little less sharp and more fireworks.
He was reading a book when he heard the door open, looked up and saw Xixi coming.
He put down the book and asked.
"Concubine Jing is gone?"
Xiao Xixi stretched out her arms, and immediately a palace maid came to change her clothes.
She recounted the conversation with Concubine Jing just now.
Luo Qinghan: "Since you have already found out the involvement between the Jing family and the Shao family, why didn't you say it earlier?"
"It's not a good thing for something like this to happen during the Chinese New Year.
I originally thought that after the Spring Festival, I would settle the matter of Concubine Jing.
Unexpectedly, Concubine Jing came to her door today, so I simply had a showdown with her. "
Luo Qinghan: "You just let her go back? Aren't you afraid that she will destroy the evidence after she goes back?"
Xiao Xixi: "Since I dare to let her go back, I am not afraid that she will destroy the evidence."
The maids helped her tidy up the skirt, and then silently backed out.
Xiao Xixi walked to Luo Qinghan's side, and just as he was about to sit down, he was pulled into his arms and hugged.
She had to sit on his lap.
Xiao Xixi hugged his neck and leaned his upper body against his chest, muttering.
"In the final analysis, it depends on your attitude. If you think the Jing family can still be used, the concubine Jing can be a big deal. If you think the Jing family is unnecessary, then the Jing concubine can also have it. No more."
Luo Qinghan's palm pressed against her waist, rubbed gently, and said in a low voice.
"You don't need to worry about me, you just need to do things according to your heart."
Xiao Xixi snorted and said, "According to my intention, all those concubines should be sent out of the palace."
Luo Qinghan raised the corner of his mouth: "Then send them all out."
Xiao Xixi pouted: "You are kidding me again."
If the emperor really sends all the concubines out of the palace, the entire court will explode. They won't say the emperor is stupid, they will only scold her as a noble concubine to deceive the king's heart and bring harm to the country and the people.
Luo Qinghan kissed her face and said, "Wait a little longer, give me a little more time."
...
When Emperor Sheng Yong was still in power, Leng Gong shut up several concubines who made mistakes.
After the death of Emperor Sheng Yong, those concubines were sent to Ziyun Nunnery. Now in the cold palace, there are only two concubines, namely Lu Xuanshi and Shao Xuanshi.
Because of the care of the Empress Dowager Lu Xuanshi, his life is not bad, it is naturally incomparable with before, but at least he does not have to worry about food and clothing, and there is still a little palace maid by his side.
In contrast, Shao Xuanshi's life was much more miserable.
There was no one in the palace to help her manage. She ate leftovers and wore old clothes. The little palace maid who had entered the cold palace with her had already thought of moving elsewhere.
Recently, because of the cold weather, she was ill from freezing, coughing frequently, and her mind was groggy.
As a concubine who has completely fallen out of favor, she is naturally not qualified to consult a doctor.
She could only lie down on the hard bed and slowly boil.
If you can survive, you can continue to live, if you can't survive, you can only die.
In the past, Lu Xuanshi would come to her from time to time to hang out with her, showing off his clothes and eating, but now because she was sick, Lu Xuanshi stopped coming to her for fear of being infected.
Shao Xuanshi was lying on the bed alone, coughing continuously.
Cold wind poured in through the hole in the window.
It was frighteningly cold in the house.
Even though she covered all the quilts on her body, she still felt cold.
She thought desperately, it would be better to die than to survive like this.
crunch.
The door opened and someone came in.
Shao Xuanshi struggled to hold up his upper body, and through the flickering candlelight, he could see clearly that the person who came was the eunuch who usually brought meals to himself.
The eunuch put the food box on the table, walked to the bed and stared at Shao Xuanshi's haggard and sallow face, tsk tsk, yin and yang strangely.
"You are still alive!"
Shao Xuanshi didn't say a word, just coughed twice.
The eunuch immediately covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves, took two steps back, and said in disgust, "It's really bad luck!"
He turned around and walked to the table, opened the food box, placed the food heavily on the table, and left with the food box in his hand.
Didn't even close the door.
The cold wind poured into the room, and the candlelight that had been swaying was completely blown out.
The house fell into darkness.
Shao Xuanshi had to drag the sick body, got up with difficulty, got out of bed, first closed the door, then relit the candle, and sat down at the table.
The food has long been cold, and there is no oil or salt in the dishes, let alone the meat, which is very unpalatable.
Even so, Shao Xuanshi gritted his teeth and swallowed the food in one bite.
She is sick now, and if she doesn't eat or drink, she will die faster, so she must eat, as much as she can eat.
Even if life is difficult, as long as you can live, who would be willing to die?
After eating, Shao Xuanshi dragged the sick body and returned to the bed.
She didn't know what was going on, but not long after she lay down, she felt a strong sleepiness.
Before she could figure out what was going on, she fell into a deep sleep.
With a creak, the door was pushed open again.
The meal delivery eunuch came in.
This time he still carried a food box in his hand.
He closed the door with one hand and put the food box on the table.
Seeing the bare dishes on the table, knowing that Shao Xuanshi had eaten all the food, he smiled.
Those meals are drugged, and eating them can make people fall into a drowsiness, and they won't be able to wake up within two or three hours.
The eunuch walked to the bed and pushed Shao Xuanshi twice, and he was very satisfied to see her motionless.
He untied Shao Xuanshi's belt, wrapped it around her neck, and squeezed it hard.
The strong suffocation forced Shao Xuan's attendant to wake up from his drowsiness.
She struggled desperately, but to no avail.
She was already ill, and the effect of the drug was still there.
The eunuch's expression became hideous because of the excessive force.
"Don't blame me, I'm just doing things for others. Anyway, you're suffering while you're alive. It's better to die, and everyone will find it easy."
Shao Xuanshi struggled less and less.
Seeing that she was almost out of breath, the door was suddenly kicked open!
Three Yulinwei rushed in.
The eunuch was startled and let go of his hand subconsciously.
Shao Xuanshi took the opportunity to break free, lying on the edge of the bed and gasping for breath.
The eunuch saw the dazzling blades in the hands of the Yulin Guards, and he didn't even resist, his legs were weak, and he immediately knelt down.
