Chapter 94 Mei Liangren was convicted

The old lady snorted softly.

"I've taught you a hundred times and it's hard to stand up. I don't have any hope. Just be obedient from now on. You must listen to your father."

——

After seeing Mrs. Wang off, the queen called Fangrui to ask how the princess was doing.

"The imperial doctor prescribed large doses of donkey-hide gelatin/ginger tea, etc., and I have recovered a lot now. I am taking good care of myself."

"How is the investigation going on this case?"

What happened at the New Year's Eve banquet was a huge scandal.

If someone arranged it, she would not have to take away the reputation she has accumulated for many years as a queen.

"It was investigated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. All the palace officials who came into contact with the Crown Princess's food last night were detained and are still being interrogated," Fangrui said cautiously.

"The prince is still busy?"

Fangrui nodded: "The Emperor is not here, His Highness the Crown Prince takes over, and I am still meeting with the ministers at the moment."

The queen leaned back on the chair and let out a long sigh of relief, and ordered Fangrui to have some tonic soup stewed in the dining room.

"I went to see Mr. Yu in the evening. The child was also pitiful. What else did the doctor say? Will it affect future fertility?"

Fangrui thought for a moment and considered.

"It is true...it will be difficult for the heirs in the future, but it is not impossible. It depends on luck and God's will."

It all depends on God's will, so there is basically no hope.

“Pityful”

——

In the evening, the queen went to the East Palace with her food box.

Xie Chenke had just finished his work and was now sitting by the bed, comforting the princess whose eyes were swollen from crying.

"Take good care of yourself, and you will definitely have a child. I will get you whatever medicinal materials you need. You must take good care of yourself at all costs."

Mrs. Yu's face was pale and full of tears, but she didn't speak.

Xie Chenke's eyes flashed with a trace of impatience, but on the surface he still said softly: "If you still feel uncomfortable, do you want to ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look?"

"Thank you, Your Highness. I'm feeling much better now. I don't need to trouble the doctor anymore."

"Then just rest. I still have something to do. I'll see you tomorrow."

When Xie Chenke left, he happened to meet the queen. He was flattered and polite.

"Why is the Queen Mother here? My son is really unfilial, and he makes the Queen Mother worry about him on the first day of the new year."

"What are you talking about? No one would want something like this to happen. Go and do your work. I will go over and take a look."

The queen also laughed.

The mother is kind and the son is filial, and those who don't know really think they are their biological mother and son.

Xie Chenke strode away, with his back straight and walking in the wind, looking relaxed and happy.

The queen stared at his back for a while, then turned around leisurely.

In the inner room, Ms. Yu was lying on the bed with tears streaming down her face, like a wounded sheep, licking her wounds alone, bleeding and pus, gritting her teeth and swallowing blood.

"Why are you here, Queen Mother?"

She struggled to get up, but was pushed down on the bed by the queen.

"Don't move, I just came to see you"

"Fang Rui"

The Queen turned around and took the food box and brought the tonic soup to the table one by one.

"This is what I cooked in the kitchen. A dish of Codonopsis pilosula and black-bone chicken, and a dish of braised lamb chops. They are both nourishing and warming. Drink them while they are hot. They are good for your health."

Yu shied away in panic.

The queen was a little confused: "What? Are you afraid?"

Yu subconsciously took a breath and pretended to smile relaxedly.

"No...no, I'm not afraid, I drink."

She picked up one of the bowls to drink, but her hand trembled and she spilled it all over the table.

She quickly picked up another bowl and drank it all in one gulp. She put the bowl down and wiped the corners of her lips. Yu's face became even paler and she forced a smile.

"My daughter-in-law is not afraid at all. Thank you very much for your concern, Queen Mother."

The queen sighed: "You kid, you are so frightened."

"Don't worry, I have personally tasted this soup, otherwise I wouldn't dare give it to you."

As expected, the queen picked up another bowl and drank slowly.

Visible to the naked eye, Yu's face softened a lot, and tears gradually filled her eyes.

"Daughter-in-law, thank you for your mother's concern. I just... just don't understand why someone would put that kind of medicine in my soup."

"I lost the opportunity to be a mother when I was young and had never been pregnant. Why were you so cruel to me?"

She cried bitterly and her body twitched.

The queen patted her shoulder to comfort her.

"You are a good boy. The Queen Mother will decide this matter for you. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is already investigating, and Ke'er will not just sit idly by. Don't worry."

Thinking of Xie Chenke's resolute steps and straight and relaxed back just now.

A bold guess came to mind involuntarily.

At this time, the little palace maid came to report that the prince had sent someone to investigate and found clues, and she wanted to report to the queen.

The queen summoned her, and a clever little eunuch who ran errands came in.

"The Crown Prince said that a large amount of saffron was found in Mei Liangren's room. After going down for twenty pieces, he confessed."

"Meiliangren?"

Tears welled up in Yu's eyes.

"How is that possible?"

Mei Liangren is such an honest person. Ever since she married the second prince, this honest woman has come to the main courtyard to pay her respects despite the storm.

She has strict rules and never quarrels or gets jealous. How could she poison herself? She doesn't have a son. Why?

"The evidence is there, and Mei Liangren himself committed the crime. He said he was jealous of the crown prince's favor and could monopolize the crown prince's favor."

"The Crown Prince is also very shocked. He said that he knows people but not the heart. Please don't be too angry, so as not to hurt your body."

The young eunuch left, and the queen was silent for a long time, comforted her, and then left, leaving Mrs. Yu hiding her face and crying bitterly.

She probably has nowhere to express her pain in this life.

He could just die. It is believed that the Duke's office is still there and the Yu family is still there, so how can he have the right to ignore it.

They can't fight against the royal family.

——

The princess poisoning case ended with Mei Liangren being convicted.

It is not advisable to see blood during the Chinese New Year.

Xie Chenke dismissed her and expelled her from the palace, leaving her to fend for herself.

Early on the third day of the Lunar New Year, poor Mrs. Mei was stripped of her rich clothes, only wearing thin clothes, and left from the corner gate of the palace with twenty taels of silver.

She was shivering with cold, crying and complaining as she walked.

The little eunuch who was escorting her whipped her and said, "If you dare to scream again, I will tear your mouth apart."

Poor Mrs. Mei had to shut up.

Looking at the cold weather outside the palace, she didn't know where to go, so she walked forward shivering.

At the same time in the palace, Yu's menstrual period was coming to an end. After drinking the tonic soup for a few days, her complexion became much better.

She dismissed the palace servants, leaving only her confidant maid Li'er, and asked Mei Liang how he was doing.

When he learned that the other party had been expelled from the palace, his face immediately turned ugly.

“My dearest lady, it’s better to take care of yourself.”

"Yeah, I won't care about anything else from now on. You go find me some Buddhist scriptures and I'll read them in my spare time."

Life in the palace was difficult.

If I don't find something to pass the time, I'm afraid I'll go crazy.
