Empress looks forward to falling out of favor every day

Chapter 504 The Truth
Ye Mohan stretched out his hand, took the medicine bag and looked at it, his voice was cold, "Why is this medicine bag under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in Kunluan Palace?"

Li Huan's heart trembled, knowing that this matter must have touched His Majesty's Ni Lin.

Kunluan Palace is the palace where Concubine Xiao Gui lived.

Poison appears for no reason.

If we don't investigate this matter clearly, I'm afraid it will provoke His Majesty's fury.

Everyone was silent, with their heads lowered, no one dared to step forward to answer Ye Mohan's words.

Luchun's palms were sweaty, and she clenched her skirt tightly. She took a few deep breaths, and when the atmosphere gradually solidified, she slowly stepped forward and knelt down.

"His Majesty……"

When Xiao Yueyao saw Lu Chun coming up, she was slightly taken aback, and gave her a wink, telling her to back off quickly.

At this time, Lu Chun's heart was beating like a drum, and she was extremely terrified, and she didn't notice Xiao Yueyao's face at all.

"Your Majesty, this medicine bag was buried under a tree by a servant girl."

Ye Mohan narrowed his eyes dangerously, and looked coldly at Luchun who was kneeling in front of him.

He remembered that this girl was Xiao Yueyao's personal maid, and she accompanied Xiao Yueyao into the palace from Xiao's mansion.

She hides drugs?for what?
Ye Mohan recalled that when he was young, he bumped into the scene outside the door where the nurse who had taken care of him since he was a child gave him medicine by hand.

After that, he never trusted anyone again.

Lu Chun could clearly feel Ye Mo's cold gaze on her body.

She trembled slightly, trying to calm herself down.

She knew the reason for the medicine bag, but she didn't want to tell the truth.

It was not easy for His Majesty and Empress to reconcile as before.

If she told Ye Mohan the reason for the medicine bag, even though the empress was loyal to His Majesty, she would not have thought of putting the medicine in His Majesty's food.

But emperors have been the most suspicious since ancient times.

His Majesty may not be suspicious of the imperial concubine.

"At that time, rats suddenly appeared in the Kunluan Palace. This poison was obtained by the servant to kill the rats. Who knew that the poison was so strong that the servant dared not use it again after using it once. And he did not dare to keep this thing by his side, so...so he buried it under the tree."

"I really didn't expect this to happen."

"Your Majesty's atonement, Your Majesty's atonement!"

Lu Chun thought that she had given a very perfect explanation, picking Xiao Yueyao clean.

If His Majesty blames it at that time, Xiao Yueyao will not be implicated.

As for the matter of poisoning rats, she could only suffer a few boards at most.

After listening to Lu Chun's words, Xiao Yueyao knew what this little girl was thinking.

It was inevitable that they would turn cold. They were always happy for her to get the position of imperial concubine, but now she still needs their protection as an imperial concubine.

It's a matter of irony.

Xiao Yueyao was annoyed, and she couldn't bear to see Lu Chun kneeling like this, "Get up soon."

As soon as she hung up, a voice came from outside.

"Sister Royal Concubine..."

Xiao Yueyao was startled, and when she heard the words, she looked over and saw the queen walking in slowly with lotus steps.

She saluted without haste, "See Your Majesty..."

Ye Mohan's brows and eyes were slightly cold, as if he didn't want to see her.

After seeing the ceremony, the queen stood up straight and spoke slowly.

"Ben Gong came out for a walk when he had nothing to do, and he saw that my sister's side was brightly lit, and there were two tables full of food in the yard, but no one was watching, so I decided to come here on my own initiative. I didn't expect to hear such words from Miss Luchun."

"Presumably, the younger sister of the imperial concubine is also eager to protect the lord, and I don't want your majesty to have any quarrel with the younger sister of the imperial concubine."

"Since this girl doesn't want to say it, let me do it."

Xiao Yueyao looked at Chu Yalan indifferently, she didn't believe that Chu Yalan really came out to wander around suddenly.

The queen lowered her eyes and said slowly, "Your Majesty, I have seen this medicine bag in Rupin's palace before."

"At that time, I asked my sister Rupin what the medicine package was. At that time, my sister Rupin faltered and didn't explain, so the concubine didn't take it to heart."

"Who knows that this medicine bag is now in Kunluan Palace, but it is still poison."

Ye Mo's cold eyes deepened, and he looked at the medicine bag in his hand. If the medicine bag was related to Rupin, the Empress Dowager entrusted Rupin to give it to Xiao Yueyao.

He knew about it.

He also couldn't forget this incident, when Xiao Yueyao chose to throw away the medicine and chose him.

Ye Mohan held Xiao Yueyao's little hand on her lap.

Xiao Yueyao was startled, and looked sideways.

The queen naturally did not miss Ye Mohan's little move.

With a decent smile, she continued, "Your Majesty, I feel that this matter may not necessarily have anything to do with the concubine's younger sister. How about this matter, I have to ask my concubine sister."

The queen is not a fool, now that Ye Mohan loves Xiao Yueyao, if she wants to get back the power, she has to follow Ye Mohan's wishes, and she can't get Xiao Yueyao involved in this matter.

Someone else can make His Majesty vent his anger.

Rupin was quickly called over, she saw the queen sitting in Kunluan Palace, and immediately understood what was going on.

The queen is also a member of the queen mother, and she knows some things.

No matter how Li Huan interrogated her, Rupin obediently knelt on the ground without saying a word, already tacitly acquiescing that the medicine package was related to her, but she did not admit that the medicine package was used by her to poison Xiao Yueyao.

Ye Mohan gave an order in a deep voice, "Surrendering your concubine is a promise, and you will be confined for three months."

This farce was over.

Before the queen left, she took a deep look at Rupin who was kneeling on the ground.

The queen walked out slowly, Mei couldn't help complaining in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, we deliberately made this trip all the way. The servant thought that His Majesty would think of Your Majesty, and directly hand over the power of controlling the Six Palaces to Your Majesty."

"No rush." ​​Chu Yalan smiled, "Bengong's helping Xiao Yueyao is just to impress His Majesty, telling him that I am no longer the previous Bengong, and now I will protect Xiao Yueyao for him."

"Wait a few more days and pick out some of the mistakes made by Concubine Zhen in controlling the harem, and the power of the six palaces will naturally return to this palace."

Mei nodded, "It's just... Your Majesty, if we take advantage of the promise now, if we promise, we will inevitably hate us in our hearts."

Chu Yalan snorted coldly, "It's just a promise, I'm afraid she will do something!"

"A promise and a queen, the empress dowager naturally knows how to choose."

……

In Kunluan Palace.

Xiao Yueyao frowned and looked at Ruyue who was kneeling on the ground, her inner peace could not stir up any waves.

She doesn't want to plead for her.

As for the medicine bag, why didn't Rupin tell the truth.

What she thought was probably the same as what she thought.

Two concubines in the palace wanted to murder the emperor.

Regardless of whether this matter is confirmed or not, it is a serious crime of beheading.

Ye Mohan got up, took Xiao Yueyao's hand and went back to the inner room.

As promised, he was sent back.
