Li Qinghui quietly climbed onto Emperor Mingde's bed.

She thought he had been drugged and was infatuated.

But Emperor Mingde's eyes were clear, and he pushed her away coldly and resolutely, "Li Qinghui, how dare you give me dirty medicine!"

Her actions had long been discovered.

The person sent by Emperor Mingde to protect her also became the one to monitor her.

Li Qinghui was completely defeated.

Emperor Mingde never set foot into her palace again.

Not long after, news came that Emperor Mingde had been poisoned and died.

She knelt on the ground and cried.

She couldn't even see Emperor Mingde for the last time.

The man she loved all her life!

Why is he so cold and indifferent to her? She has liked him since she was twelve years old.

Emperor Mingde only cared about the suffering of the people and the country.

So Li Qinghui could only pretend to be concerned about the country and the people, following behind him and accompanying him to visit the villages and towns.

Zhu Lingxiu loves her, Huang Haoqing also loves her, but she only loves Emperor Mingde.

She wanted to make it clear, but she found that once she did, she would not even be qualified to travel with them.

She neither agreed nor refused.

Later, Li Qinghui discovered that if she didn't pretend to be interested in Zhu Lingxiu, it would be difficult for her to even meet Emperor Mingde.

She thought that as time went by, Emperor Mingde would always see her beautiful and intelligent side and would always fall in love with her as much as she loved him.

But Li Qinghui did not wait for that day.

She realized that she had taken the wrong path. Emperor Mingde really thought of her as Zhu Lingxiu's wife-to-be. How could this be possible?

She had to pick herself out.

Coincidentally, Princess Chanyu fell in love with Zhu Lingxiu.

Li Qinghui decided to completely push Zhu Lingxiu to Princess Chanyu.

She leaked the locations where she had agreed to meet Zhu Lingxiu several times, allowing Princess Chanyu to meet him by chance.

But that idiot ignored Princess Chanyu.

Li Qinghui felt a little proud for a moment, but more importantly, she felt annoyed.

Zhu Lingxiu has become a stumbling block for her.

Seeing that she was getting older year by year, Li Qinghui became anxious.

She decided to take a risk.

The reason for targeting Princess Yuyang was that Princess Yuyang spent a fortune to buy a painting as a birthday gift for her mother-in-law.

At that time, there were two paintings that caught Princess Yuyang's eye. One was "Shoufeng Huanian" by Baiyin Jushi, and the other was "Lanzhi Tu" by Qingyin Dajia.

Finally, Princess Yuyang chose "Longevity and Prosperity". She smiled and said to people that the magpie stood on the peach branch, and there was no longevity peach in the whole painting, but it showed longevity and joy everywhere, and it also meant that the country was peaceful and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

It is also said that Mr. Baiyin's flower and bird paintings have long surpassed the realm of ordinary boudoir painters who use flowers to depict trivial love affairs.

Although Princess Yuyang never mentioned "Lanzhi Painting" in her words, Li Qinghui felt that Princess Yuyang was belittling "Lanzhi Painting" in every sentence, because she was known as the master of Qingyin.

She had clearly achieved great success, but Princess Yuyang looked down on her.

In this case, she gave Princess Yuyang a big gift.

Li Qinghui met with Princess Chanyu and gave her some ideas, explaining every detail very clearly.

Princess Chanyu was overjoyed and reported the plan to the Empress Dowager.

The Queen Mother asked Princess Chanyu to ask what she wanted.

Li Qinghui said, "I want to enter the palace as a concubine."

Under Li Qinghui's instructions, Princess Chanyu became extremely jealous and tried to find out who Zhu Lingxiu's sweetheart was.

Finally, Zhu Lingxiu came before Emperor Mingde.

Emperor Mingde agreed, and Li Qinghui entered his harem as she wished.

Princess Yuyang's family was either dead or injured. This was the fate of those who looked down on Li Qinghui.

Later, Emperor Mingde never touched her.

Li Qinghui felt that as long as Zhu Lingxiu was alive, Emperor Mingde would always treat her as Zhu Lingxiu's wife-to-be.

She secretly handed a letter to Princess Chanyu, asking her to fake Zhu Lingxiu's death.

Who would have thought that after Zhu Lingxiu's "death", Emperor Mingde still refused to love her.

Finally, Emperor Mingde died. No one knows who poisoned this ruthless man.

Li Qinghui suspected it was the Empress Dowager, then Princess Yunlan, and so on.

But she no longer cared. Emperor Mingde didn't love her when he was alive anyway, so it was better for him to be dead.

Before his death, Emperor Mingde instructed that no concubines should be buried with him.

She was just not what he wanted.

If they couldn't sleep in the same bed during life, then they could be buried in the same grave after death... Wait, why did Shi Anxia just say the same thing to her?

The last thing Li Qinghui saw in this world was the little girl with picturesque features smiling at her.

That smile contained endless mockery and contempt.

That was the condescending look of a superior!

Li Qinghui could no longer think, her soul had left her body, and she seemed to see herself being buried alive.

In her past and present lives, it turns out that she only loved that one person...

Li Qinghui is dead.

Emperor Mingde ordered the Dali Temple and the Dongyu Guard to jointly investigate the case overnight, and summoned Li Qinghui's parents to the palace to let them participate in the thorough investigation.

The Xiying Guards immediately took control of all the relevant people, including everyone in Xiyou Palace and the Beekeeping Bureau.

This case is actually not difficult to investigate.

Li Qinghui's body was already in a horrible state, but the culprit was found on her body, which was the handkerchief stained with the special jade dew.

The special jade dew was made by Li Qinghui herself, and there was some unused evidence in her bedroom.

According to Ruyi, who was not stung to death, the Imperial Concubine went there specifically to wait for Princess Haiyan, and it was the Imperial Concubine who took Princess Haiyan to take a detour to Yimen.

Eunuch Yao of Xiyou Palace admitted that it was the imperial concubine who asked him to go to the beekeeping bureau first to notify people to open the lid of the beehive.

The people from the beekeeping department saw that it was the Imperial Concubine who died, so they dared not lie anymore and proved that it was Eunuch Yao from Xiyou Palace who came to inform him. He was also doing what the Imperial Concubine ordered.

The matter is very clear, and the evidence is very clear: Concubine Li wanted to harm Princess Haiyan but failed, and ended up killing herself.

The only one who remains in doubt is Princess Haiyan.

She was present, but unharmed.

It was obvious that Concubine Li wanted to harm her, but she was not hurt at all.

Doesn't it sound a bit weird?

Why wasn’t the handkerchief stained with the special jade dew given away?

If Concubine Li wanted to harm Princess Haiyan, then the handkerchief should be on Princess Haiyan, and it should be Princess Haiyan who died at this moment.

Why did Princess Haiyan not die, but Concubine Li died?

Based on the above doubts, the Dali Temple invited Princess Haiyan Shi Anxia to the scene for questioning.

The Dali Temple presided over the trial, and the Dongyu Guard served as jurors.

The person who came from Dongyu Guard was Ma Chuyi, who was asked to leave by Li Qinghui's father Li Shixin.

Who doesn’t know that Ma Chuyi is close to the people from Yunqi Academy?

Ma Chuyi sat quietly in the corner to listen to the trial: If you want to recuse yourself, then recuse yourself.

It seems like my avoiding the case will change the outcome!

Ma Chuyi knew how much Emperor Mingde doted on Princess Haiyan. He wanted to ask Li Shixin: May I ask Lord Li, if the emperor comes, do you dare to ask him to leave?

In fact, the emperor didn't come, but it would be the same if Eunuch Qi came.

Shi Anxia had just been summoned by the Dali Temple into the temporary interrogation room in the palace. Before she could start to answer, she saw Eunuch Qi coming in carrying a large food box.

Eunuch Qi said, "Princess Haiyan is frightened. The emperor asked Princess Haiyan to eat some snacks to fill her stomach and calm her mind. Otherwise, how can she have the energy to reply to you?"

Chief Judge Liu: “…” So we’re not hungry!

If you were not sent by the Emperor, I would have kicked you out!
