Chapter 269 Why is it so coincidental every time?
Lu Xinran looked at the contents of the booklet and sighed deeply again.
[As expected, no one in this harem can be underestimated, and not all secrets will be exposed to outsiders. ]
[If it weren't for Tongzi's ability, who would have thought that Concubine Xu and Concubine Wei were actually half-sisters. ]
[Xu Taifei was three years older than her mother. She was born secretly after her mother had an affair with someone else.]
[After she was born, she was brought to her grandmother's side, and she was raised under the name of her aunt by someone else.]
[Later, her mother married into the Wei family and gave birth to Wei Fanhua. By chance, the two sisters entered the palace one after the other.]
[It was only after they entered the palace that they discovered that the two had many similarities, and only then did they learn the secret of their origins from their families.]
[Although Concubine Wei is three years younger, she is the most scheming and resourceful of the two.]
[After discovering that Su Hongyu had gotten pregnant with the heir to the throne with the help of the Queen Mother, the two of them wanted to use the same method to consolidate her favor.]
[The Concubine Wei was very bold and tried to get the old emperor to have a threesome with the two sisters. As a result, after being reprimanded by the old emperor, the two sisters fell out of favor.]
[When they were scolded and fell out of favor, Su Hongyu was diagnosed with being pregnant with a prince. They both hated Su Hongyu at the same time, and felt that the luck of everyone in the harem had been sucked away by her and the Queen Mother.]
[These two people...are sick! ]
[Thinking of those inferior means, why did the old emperor dislike him and not look for the reason in himself? 】
It was so bad that Lu Xinran couldn't find a word to complain about for a long time.
The Empress Dowager's body was already cold, and these two people had been acting calm and harmless over the years. Every year on Su Hongyu's death anniversary, they would send her a few handwritten scriptures, hoping that she would take them to the temple for memorial service.
She originally thought that they did this just because they knew she was on good terms with Su Hongyu and wanted to please her.
They never thought that they were the murderers. Maybe they did it just because they felt guilty.
[The more successful Su Hongyu became, and the closer she became to the Queen Mother, the more jealous and twisted they became.]
[What this harem lacks the most is unlucky and pitiful people. They have lost the emperor's favor and cannot bear to see others enjoying themselves.]
[The two of them endured and endured, and finally waited for the opportunity during a heavy snowfall in winter. ]
[The emperor's high fever at the time was caused by them bribing a palace maid next to the empress dowager and secretly freezing the emperor in ice water.]
[They did this not only to prevent the Queen Mother from taking care of Su Hongyu, but they also hoped that the Emperor would die young.]
[After the plan was successful, they invited Su Hongyu to the Imperial Garden in the name of the Queen Mother, and poured water on the bluestone slabs to make ice in advance, and had someone help Su Hongyu walk up.]
[Later, Su Hongyu's dystocia and heavy bleeding were also caused by them. They bribed the palace maids around Su Hongyu and added a large amount of safflower to her medicine, so that after she took the medicine, not only could the bleeding not stop, but it also accelerated her blood loss.]
The Queen Mother's body had completely lost its temperature.
The truth she had been searching for for decades turned out to be right beside her all along, and it was so crude.
Just because they have lost the grace of God, they can use this as a reason to frame them? !
It was not until this moment that she understood why Su Hongyu looked at her like that before he died.
Did she think she regretted helping her?
Did she already know that she was pregnant with a prince, and did I think she knew it too, and was afraid that she would compete with her son for the throne in the future?
She looked at the three people in the hall angrily, her heart filled with grief and indignation, tears rolling down her cheeks like rolling balls.
Lu Xinran came back to his senses from his search for the truth, and when he saw the empress dowager's sudden change in expression, his eyes were filled with confusion.
Lu Xinlan gently pulled up her sleeve and gave her a look, signaling her to get up and leave.
She followed her blankly, and the two sisters tiptoed out of Changshou Palace.
"Would it be a bad idea for us to leave like this?"
Lu Xinran turned around and looked at the high palace wall. The Queen Mother had not yet said why she summoned them into the palace.
"The Queen Mother has important matters to deal with now. Let's go back first and find an opportunity to go to the palace to pay our respects to her later."
After Lu Xinlan finished speaking, he took her out of the palace quickly, and only felt relieved when they returned to the Lu Mansion.
The truth of that year has been completely revealed, and how to deal with it next is something that the Empress Dowager and the Emperor have to think about.
When they eat melons, they must have the noble qualities of eating melons: when the work is done, they leave, hiding their merits and fame~
Lu Xinran always felt something was strange when she returned to the courtyard. Every time she had this strange feeling, her mind seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, making it impossible for her to explore.
In Zhaoyun Courtyard, Pei Shi was unable to come back to her senses after listening to Lu Xinlan's retelling.
She is of the same age as the Empress Dowager and Su Hongyu. Although what happened back then happened in the palace, she had heard some about it.
They are all people who have given birth, and they all know that no matter how dangerous childbirth is, it will not end up with two deaths in the harem guarded by the imperial physician.
The imperial doctors in the palace all understood the principle of protecting the child at the last moment.
"Hey~"
After a long time, all of Pei's thoughts faded away, leaving only a long sigh.
"Don't tell anyone about this, and let's just pretend we never knew about this."
Lu Xinlan nodded. The secrets of the palace should not be known to outsiders.
The Queen Mother asked her to accompany her into the palace today, perhaps to let her take people out of the palace at a critical moment.
After all, regardless of how much the Queen Mother likes Lu Xinran, it is a tacit consensus in the court that she cannot be allowed to get into trouble now.
In the next few days, Pei and Lu Xinlan kept an eye on the movements in the palace.
It was quiet for a few days in a row. I don’t know if nothing happened in the palace or if the news in the palace was blocked and outsiders could not know.
However, Lu Jinchuan looked a little solemn these days, and he started to go out early and come back late again.
At the end of August, news finally came from the palace that Concubine Wei was seriously ill and in a coma she confessed all the evil things she had done.
The fact that she and Concubine Xu were half-brothers was also revealed. Overnight, Xu, who had been the mistress of the Wei family for decades, was known to everyone in the capital to have had an affair with someone and gave birth to an illegitimate child.
After learning the truth of that year, the Queen Mother fell seriously ill.
The emperor was furious and investigated the past thoroughly. Zhang Yun murdered the concubine and killed the prince. The entire Zhang family was implicated, their property was confiscated and they were exiled. Concubine Zhang was also given white silk.
The system cheered in Lu Xinran's mind that he had five more years of life, and Lu Xinran felt a little dazed.
Is this such a coincidence?
There were too many coincidences, and even though there was a fog in the depths of her mind, she still couldn't help but feel doubtful.
Why...how come every time is such a coincidence?
"Tongzi, what's going on? Why is there always a follow-up after I finish eating the melon?"
Moreover, the life value of some melons must be calculated after the big melons have a follow-up and the villains get their comeuppance, which is illogical in itself.
The system crashed for a while because of her question, and then it responded in a muffled and uncertain voice.
"I'll ask the Mastermind about this. It seems, it seems a little strange."
