Chapter 268 The truth back then
The golden hairpin returned to the Queen Mother's hands, and she lowered her head and looked at it quietly for a long time.
Back then, she also had a good sister in the palace.
The two of them supported each other through the most difficult days. Later, she regained favor and became pregnant. It was always that man who stayed by her side, trying his best to protect her so that she could give birth to the prince smoothly.
Later, she was grateful and tried her best to help her regain a place in the old man's heart.
They had agreed that no matter whose son became the crown prince or emperor in the future, they would be good sisters for life.
Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. When she was eight months pregnant, she fell while walking in the Imperial Garden and had a miscarriage. There was no way to save the fetus, so she had to find an induced labor.
Unfortunately, the emperor was still young at that time, and he had a high fever for two days, so she was unable to leave.
By the time she settled the emperor down and rushed to the man, her lower body was bleeding profusely and her condition was extremely dangerous.
She still remembers the look she gave her, which was full of hesitation, disappointment, and the deepest regret and resentment.
All of this was too much of a coincidence, so coincidental that it made people doubt and resentful before they died, and then deny everything they had done in the past.
She did investigate privately later, but due to the chaos during those days, she simply couldn't spare the energy or manpower.
When they finally had the time and energy, they could no longer find anything unusual; all traces had been covered up.
She still doesn't know who caused the death of her best friend and two others, and who blamed her for it all, causing her best friend to look at her with resentment for a long time before he died.
This past event happened so long ago that she thought she had completely forgotten it.
She slowly stroked the golden hairpin that had long lost its luster with her fingertips and sighed softly.
"If Hongyu were still here, given her personality, she would definitely ask us to play cards and joke with her every day."
Concubine Zhang, who had just been stopped by her, forced a smile awkwardly: "Yes, yes, if Concubine Su was still here, it would definitely be very lively."
"What a pity," the Queen Mother looked at Lu Xinran meaningfully, "Why did she fall down for no reason back then?"
Concubine Zhang could hardly hold back the awkward smile on her face. She lowered her head awkwardly and dared not say another word.
At this moment, Lu Xinran was like a shark that smelled blood and instantly became alert.
Palace fighting!
This is definitely a palace fight!
She excitedly opened the booklet, ready to turn to the Queen Mother's booklet first to see what was going on.
[Su Hongyu, the Empress Dowager's best sister in the palace. She was able to give birth to the emperor in the cannibalistic harem, all thanks to the help of this Concubine Su.]
[She was grateful in her heart and sincerely wanted to help her friend, so she tried her best to get Su Hongyu back in favor.]
[Well, although it looks cool to see the sisters teaming up to win the emperor's favor, it's too easy to make people jealous, isn't it? ]
[In the harem, the emperor's favor is the foundation of the concubines' lives. Not only did she help Su Hongyu regain the emperor's favor, she also secretly gave her a prescription to help her conceive a dragon heir.]
【this……】
When Lu Xinran saw this, he couldn't help but sigh.
Based on her experience from watching several palace fighting dramas in her previous life, she knew that their glory would definitely arouse the jealousy of others.
Then all kinds of frame-ups and suppressions will come, and even if you do it intentionally, you will suffer at least a lot if you don't die.
After she sighed, she immediately turned the pages and after seeing the young emperor suddenly having a high fever and then Su Hongyu falling in the garden, she immediately sighed, "As expected."
[Su Hongyu lived for a day and a night. When she died, the whole room was filled with a pungent smell of blood. I'm afraid all the blood in her body had drained out.]
[Still one body and two lives. The imperial physician couldn't even save the baby in her belly. ]
[No one knows whether Su Hongyu is carrying a prince or a princess. The Queen Mother always thinks of Su Hongyu's hateful and unwilling eyes before she died in her dreams.]
How miserable!
The more Lu Xinran looked, the more he sighed. This harem was indeed not a place for people to stay.
The Shufei and Huafei before the dog emperor, as well as the Chenfei who was sent to the imperial mausoleum, were not good people. I don’t know how many concubines they harmed, and even the queen was plotted against by them.
The more Lu Xinran thought about it, the more she sighed. After the empress dowager heard her talk about the past, she was waiting for her to flip through the booklets of the three people in the palace.
She has been trying to find out what happened back then, but it has been so long since then that some of the palace servants are no longer around.
After the final investigation, she only narrowed down her suspicions to three people in the hall.
Lu Xinran's heart felt like it had been scratched repeatedly by a kitten's claws, and she was eager to know who had killed Su Hongyu.
There was no need for the Queen Mother to guide her with words; she was already quickly flipping through the booklets of the three people.
[This Concubine Zhang... Zhang Yun, the former imperial physician of the Imperial Medical Bureau, is from the same clan as her, and that Zhang Yun is the imperial physician who has been checking Su Hongyu's pulse.]
[Zhang Yun has a skill that he never tells anyone, which is that he can diagnose whether the fetus is a boy or a girl by looking at the pulse.]
[This kind of ability could easily lead to death in the harem, so he never mentioned it to anyone. However, Concubine Zhang was from the same clan as him, so she accidentally learned about it.]
[In the third month of Su Hongyu's pregnancy, Concubine Zhang knew the gender of her baby, which was also a prince.]
[After she learned about this, she was so jealous that she couldn't sleep for several nights. She only gave birth to a princess who died young. After her daughter died, the old emperor never visited her again.]
[She has no chance of regaining the grace of God or having another child.]
When the Queen Mother heard this, she clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves.
So, it was this Zhang Qian who killed Su Hongyu? !
She shot a cold look at Concubine Zhang, who shrank back and dared not look her in the eye again.
Lu Xinran had the same question in his mind, and the traces of Concubine Zhang's booklet were already visible.
[Well, this Concubine Zhang only dares to hold a grudge in her heart, but she is afraid of death and dares not make any extra calculations. ]
[She was too resentful and jealous that Su Hongyu could get pregnant with the help of the Empress Dowager, so she secretly told Concubine Xu and Concubine Wei beside her that Su Hongyu was pregnant with the prince.]
[These two people...]
She flipped through the book again and found that what followed was all Concubine Zhang's resentful and cowardly mumbling, so she decisively closed her booklet and opened the booklets of the other two.
It was not a difficult task for her to read the booklets of two or three people at the same time, especially since the system had been whetted with interest and started to help.
It only takes a moment for one person to unify the whole thing and restore the truth.
