Chapter 156: Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Call me Empress Dowager! (5)

"Queen, what's wrong with you?" At this time, Hongli was lying on the bed taking medicine. Although Yongcong's condition had improved during this period, Hongli fell ill due to excessive worry.

Fu Cha Langya asked the servants to pass the message and was allowed to come in. She knelt in front of Hongli's bed, tears welling up in her eyes, "Your Majesty, Yongcong, he was tricked into contracting smallpox! I have already arrested the relevant people, Your Majesty, please make the decision for me!"

"What... ahem." When Hongli heard that his legitimate son Yongcong was framed, he stood up suddenly, his face flushed, "Who is it?"

His eyes were red, who dared to murder his legitimate son?

"Your Majesty, Meipin has confessed. The mastermind of this case is Jiafei. Moxin, who had already contracted smallpox, wanted to take the opportunity to poison Yongcong! Jiafei, Meipin and Moxin colluded with each other to persecute Yongcong.

Before, I met with Concubine Xian and Concubine Yu, and Concubine Xian gave Mo Xin 100 taels of silver. I don't know what Concubine Xian is thinking, but she has the right to help manage the harem but she knows it but doesn't report it! "

"I don't know why Concubine Xian knew about this but didn't report it!"

"After Mo Xin contracted the smallpox, she and Meipin attacked Yong Cong's wet nurse, causing Chun Niang to contract the smallpox. Yong Cong also suffered this disaster. Your Majesty, please give Yong Cong justice!"

"Yongcong is still lying in bed. If you are not careful, he will be in danger. Your Majesty..."

Fu Cha Langya spoke clearly about the whole process of what she had investigated. Seeing that Hongli was shocked by this incident, she said,

"I am not just making empty statements. I have found all the evidence related to this incident, Your Majesty! Yongcong is your and my legitimate son!" (Empress Fucha now has a son and a daughter. She originally had two sons, but Yonglian died.)

Hongli is now in a state of shock, anger and suspicion. After all, this case of murdering the prince involves many concubines in the harem, and all the high-ranking concubines are involved.

Is it because the Queen is too suspicious because the Seventh Prince was harmed?

"Li Yu, go and summon Concubine Xian, Concubine Jia, Concubine Yu and the others. I want to interrogate them personally." Hongli was still sick and his face was a little pale. He forced himself to get up and sit on the bed. "You sit down first."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Fu Cha Langya stood up and sat on the chair brought by Eunuch Jinzhong.

Lian Xin, who was behind her, came forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, Meipin has been brought here."

"Yeah." Fu Cha Langya nodded slightly without saying anything.

In this harem, the queen who does not suffer from empress syndrome has high IQ and combat power.

Fast forward to a few days ago, Fu Cha Langya found clues about Concubine Mei giving birth to a deformed fetus through a thorough investigation of people around her.

After asking the people in the Imperial Household Department's canteen, it turned out that Concubine Mei had been eating a lot of fish, shrimp and other foods during her pregnancy.

Fish and shrimp... Why did Concubine Mei suddenly want to eat fish and shrimp? Someone must have said something to her.

Following this line of inquiry, Fucha Langya found some clues. She immediately called the imperial physician from the Imperial Medical Bureau and summoned Concubine Mei to Changchun Palace.

On the way to Changchun Palace, Bai Ruiji didn't show it on her face, but she was a little flustered in her heart. Did Empress Fucha know something?

On second thought, so what even if she knew!

She harmed her own fetus, causing the baby to be born with deformities, and was disliked by the emperor. Now she has teamed up with Mo Xin to make the young Yong Cong sick with smallpox. It's just tit for tat!

Wasn’t her child...also killed by Fucha Langya?

Soon, Concubine Mei arrived.

In Changchun Palace, Fucha Langya, dressed in a relatively plain palace dress, sat in the main seat, with a dignified manner and an imposing aura.

Her eyes were cold as she stared intently at Bai Ruiji who was standing below, the vicious woman who had harmed her son Yongcong.

The entire palace was filled with a tense atmosphere, and it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Doctor Zhang, who was called from the Imperial Medical Bureau, saw that the atmosphere was not right and wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into to reduce his presence.

What was the purpose of the Empress calling Concubine Mei here? It didn't look like he could listen...

The old doctor with white beard stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead. It was a small scene, a small scene. He had been a doctor for so long, what big scenes had he not seen?

"I heard that Meipin especially liked to eat fish and shrimp when she was pregnant." Fucha Langya raised her hand to support her temples. She smiled gently as if she was talking about homely matters. "Doctor Zhang, what will happen if you eat fish and shrimp during pregnancy? You are an excellent doctor. Can you explain it to Meipin?"

Something flashed quickly in Bai Ruiji's eyes as she stood in the hall. Her originally lowered eyes suddenly pierced Fu Cha Langya who was sitting in the main seat.

"Why is the Queen concerned about my health now? There is no need for you to pretend to be merciful here!" she said bluntly.

Thinking of her child who was abandoned at birth, tears welled up in Bai Ruiji's eyes.

Is this Fu Cha Lang Ya acting hypocritically towards her here?

"I know what you are thinking. I have a son and a daughter, so why would I do such a thankless task of murdering the heir to the throne? Doctor Zhang, please check what is inside this shrimp!"

A palace maid from Changchun Palace brought over a clean white porcelain plate. The shrimps in it had already gone smelly, but their color was indeed a bit strange, unlike ordinary dead shrimps.

When Bai Ruiji saw the shrimps on the plate, she suddenly seemed to think of something and fell silent.

"This is what I found with great difficulty in the Ministry of Internal Affairs." Fu Cha Langya's eyes flashed coldly. There were many people who died from mercury poisoning.

Of course, it was Lin Qinghe who did this. She put a lot of effort into forging this evidence.

She took a lot of mercury and put it into the water tank where the fish and shrimp were raised in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. All the shrimps in it were poisoned to death. Since Fu Cha Langya was investigating a case today, she was particularly sensitive to this clue.

Although it has been some time since Concubine Mei gave birth to a deformed fetus, if there is only one such case, it would be a far-fetched claim.

The reason why the fetus in Concubine Mei's belly was so strange was actually because Concubine Jia killed it. Zhenshu, who was beside Concubine Jia, used Xiao Fuzi and Xiao Anzi to instruct the Queen's maid Su Lian.

Later, she instructed Gao Xiyue's maid Mo Xin to put mercury in the fish and shrimps that Meipin had. At the same time, Jiafei also spread the rumor that eating more fish and shrimps could give birth to smart children, and Bai Ruiji foolishly believed it.

At that time, Gao Xiyue and Meipin had always been on bad terms. In order to take revenge, Gao Xiyue poisoned fish and shrimps so that Meipin would give birth to a stupid baby. However, Concubine Jia secretly increased the dose of mercury, causing Bai Ruiji's child to be born deformed.

"Fish and shrimp are cold foods, and usually contain high levels of mercury. For pregnant women, eating too much can cause fetal movement disorders or even miscarriage..." Doctor Zhang broke out in sweat on his forehead.

This is actually about the murder of concubines and royal heirs!

I kept repeating two sentences in my heart: small scene, small scene

He took out the silver needle again and pierced it into the dead shrimp. He twisted it and pulled out the needle. The needle, which was originally silver-white and glowing with a cold light, actually turned slightly black!

Doctor Zhang was in a state of panic, but he remained calm as an old dog and bowed to Fu Cha Langya, saying, "Empress, this shrimp contains mercury! It's poisonous!"

"Da da--"

"Bam—"

Hearing what Doctor Zhang said, Bai Ruiji took two steps back. Her face turned pale instantly. There was mercury in the shrimp...

Then, were the fish and shrimps she had eaten before also poisoned with mercury? And was her child born with a deformity because she ate too much fish and shrimps?

Thinking hard.

"Master!" Su Yun, who was following behind Bai Ruiji, hurriedly helped Bai Ruiji, who was lying on the ground.

"Why does Your Majesty put all these things before me? Are you trying to prove your innocence and say that you are not the murderer?" Bai Ruiji sneered.

"I didn't do it, why should I prove my innocence? I called you here just to let you know that the murderer is someone else."

"Su Lian has confessed. She was bribed by Concubine Jia and together with Concubine Gao's maid Mo Xin, she put a large amount of mercury in the fish and shrimp you ate."

"They must be telling you that it was me who ordered Su Lian to harm you, right?"

"So, in order to seek revenge, you teamed up with Mo Xin to make my son Yong Cong contract smallpox!"

"Princess Mei, you are so brave!"

……

"what do you want to do?"

"Just confess what happened before the emperor. If you want revenge..."
