He quickly arrived at the Beauty Pavilion. Before he even entered the door, Meng Li heard Bian Cheng's roar:
"Don't stop me, I'm going to kill this bitch!"
"Your Majesty! Don't be so impulsive." The Queen Mother's voice came next.
As soon as Meng Li entered, he saw a wound on Concubine Zheng's forehead, and then looked at the broken bowl pieces on the ground. It must have been this thing that injured Concubine Zheng's forehead.
As for who threw the bowl, it is self-evident.
Liu Meiren was lying on the bed with a pale face, and there was an imperial doctor next to her.
Seeing Meng Li come in, Bian Cheng cursed at her again:
"Is this the so-called Queen of Destiny? Even my children can't protect me. Since I made you the queen, look at the harem. It's full of chaos. Do you deserve it?"
"Your Majesty! Don't talk nonsense." The Queen Mother was so anxious that she almost fainted. In the Queen Mother's heart, she was the queen destined by the divine bird. To treat the queen like this was to disrespect the divine bird and she would be demoted.
"Am I wrong? The children in this harem are all your children, but you can't protect your children, so what's the use of you?" He asked Meng Li.
Meng Li looked at Bian Cheng with an almost lunatic look, and then said calmly:
"I never imagined that such a thing would happen. I hope the emperor will calm down."
"Calm down, you just came here to calm down? That's my child!" Bian Cheng's face was twisted.
Meng Li: "Then what do you want, Your Majesty? Do you want me to save the child's life?" Meng Li also became impatient and asked him.
"How outrageous to talk to me like this." Bian Cheng was so angry that his veins were beating wildly.
Meng Li said coldly: "Is there anything I don't dare to say? Even the emperor wants to be reasonable. You are obviously just venting your anger."
"You..." The emperor glared at Meng Li.
Meng Li also stared back: What? There are times when the emperor has nothing to say? "
The Queen Mother opened her mouth and wanted to say something. The Emperor and Queen were arguing so fiercely that no one else could interrupt, but Concubine Zheng looked at Meng Li blankly. At this moment, she finally understood the gap between her and the Queen.
She didn't dare speak to the emperor like this.
At this time, Liu Meiren weakly shouted: "Your Majesty, please calm down, this matter has nothing to do with the Queen."
"It was her improper management of the harem." Bian Cheng said unconvinced.
Meng Li snorted: "It would be too arbitrary and unreasonable for the emperor to deny everything about my concubines just because of improper governance."
"It's impossible for me, a concubine, to be around others all the time, staring at others and telling them what they should and shouldn't do."
"Besides, no one has told me what this thing is about until now." Meng Li knew that he would be angered if he came, so he had to listen to Bian Cheng's barking, but he had no choice but to come.
Even if he doesn't come, he can go to her palace to bark.
The Queen Mother sighed, pressed her forehead with her hand and said:
"Your Majesty, Queen, please calm down and listen to what Ai Jia has to say."
Meng Li and Bian Cheng looked over at the same time without saying anything. The Queen Mother said:
"The queen is right. The emperor cannot just deny everything about her. He should also let her know what happened, otherwise it will be difficult to make a decision."
After saying that, the Queen Mother told how Liu Meiren's child had disappeared.
Since Concubine Zheng was lifted from confinement, she still wants to gain the emperor's favor. On the one hand, the day of the Queen's canonization ceremony is coming, and she also wants to seize the opportunity to see if she can be promoted to a noble concubine.
On the other hand, she deeply understood how important the emperor's favor was. Only with the emperor's favor could she compete with Liu Meiren, so she made cakes and sent them to the emperor.
The emperor did not see her. The cakes were handed in through the eunuch. She didn't know that Liu Meiren was also inside, so she thought that after the emperor was done with his work, if he saw the cakes, tasted a piece and missed the past time, maybe he would see her. .
After all, the emperor used to like to eat the pastries she made most.
Unexpectedly, the things were put aside. Liu Meiren opened them curiously, looked at several small pastries with beautiful styles, and said she wanted to eat one. After saying this, she picked up one and ate it without waiting for the emperor to say anything.
Bian Cheng wanted someone to inspect his food. All his food needed to be inspected, but Liu Meiren just took it into his mouth. Bian Cheng said to wait a moment and ask someone to inspect it again. Liu Meiren also said no, there would be no problem. I ate up the whole box willfully.
After eating, she felt a little full, so she said she wanted to go for a walk to relieve her hunger. Bian Cheng agreed. Liu Meiren went out and met Concubine Zheng who was waiting outside. The two had a conversation, and then in front of Concubine Zheng, Liu Meiren suddenly suffered from abdominal pain. more than…
Then they went to the Beauty Pavilion together. When the imperial doctor told the emperor that the child could not be saved, he picked up a bowl and threw it at Concubine Zheng.
That's how it happened.
Meng Li silently looked at Concubine Zheng, and then at Liu Meiren. When Meng Li's gaze touched her, Liu Meiren panicked for a moment.
She felt... invisible.
I was a little worried, not knowing what choice the Queen would make.
"Queen, what do you think?" The Queen Mother said so much in one breath, her mouth was dry, she frowned, and the fine lines on her face were more obvious, showing the vicissitudes of life.
Meng Li thought for a while and just said: "This matter still needs to be verified."
Concubine Zheng was greatly relieved by these words. At least the queen did not directly say with certainty that she had poisoned her.
At this moment, she felt complicated inside. If the queen was a narrow-minded person, she would definitely take the opportunity to get rid of her, but the queen did not...
But her ambiguous words made Bian Cheng laugh angrily: "Anyone can say this kind of thing like you."
Meng Li: "Then what does the emperor want my concubine to say?"
"Idiot, you can't understand such a simple thing. It's obvious that she poisoned Concubine Liu and plotted to kill the emperor's heir. She deserves to be punished for her poisonous heart." Bian Cheng looked at Concubine Zheng fiercely.
Concubine Zheng immediately cried and said, "I'm wronged. I didn't know that Concubine Liu was pregnant."
"Then you poisoned the pastries to kill me?" Bian Cheng immediately asked loudly.
"I did not poison you. Your Majesty, please believe me. I was plotted against you. I don't know what happened... You are unjust!" Concubine Zheng's stern voice resounded through the space.
This might lead to the charge of attempted regicide, which would bring disaster to the family.
What should she do
She looked at Meng Li, suddenly walked over on her knees, pulled the hem of Meng Li's skirt, and begged: "Empress, you must make the decision for me and help me. I really didn't poison her."
"Everything was planned by Concubine Liu. In order to get rid of herself, she did not hesitate to sacrifice the fetus in her belly. She is so poisonous. Such a poisonous woman must not always be by your side."
Meng Li had an indifferent face, it was not that he did not understand Concubine Zheng's hint, she was hinting to herself that as long as she helped her, she could get rid of Liu Meiren.
If it is confirmed that Liu Meiren used the dragon fetus to frame others, the Queen Mother will not be able to bear it, and the emperor may also be angry and disgusted with her.
