Chapter 375 Aunt Xu
Chapter 375 Aunt Xu
"Child, are all these injuries on your body caused by that old beast?"
The queen asked distressedly.
“Yes and no.
Emperor Liuli was extremely licentious in his early years and had long lost his masculinity. He could see but not eat.
This caused his entire psychology to begin to distort.
He has long coveted our Daman, but because of his brother's reputation, he dared not do anything to Daman.
The other concubines in the harem were all children of the powerful ministers in the court. Naturally, he could not and dared not touch them.
So he took out all his anger on me, the concubine who married far away.
He abused me with all kinds of instruments and tortured me, causing injuries below the neck that were not visible.
Later, he seemed to have become so perverted that he was unwilling to do even superficial work.
He withdrew all the palace servants from my palace, leaving only my dowry maid Miaoyin by his side, and did not allow anyone else to approach.
Whenever he encounters something unpleasant, he comes and abuses me.
The eunuchs around him, seeing that I had no one to rely on, secretly came over to humiliate me.
Later, Miaoyin couldn't bear it anymore, so she took a knife and stabbed the damn eunuch to death.
She did stab the eunuch to death, but during the struggle between the two, she fell into the lake and drowned.
I witnessed the whole process, but I didn't have the strength to save Miaoyin.
That damn emperor, when he found out that Miaoyin had assassinated the eunuchs around him, came over and beat me up.
I thought I was going to die this time..."
woo woo woo...
The queen and the eldest princess hugged each other and cried.
"My girl, don't cry, don't cry...
Your brother led his troops to attack Liuli to avenge you.
If we survive a disaster, we will surely have good fortune in the future."
The Queen wiped the eldest princess' tears with her handkerchief.
The eldest princess was very weak and fell into a deep sleep again not long after waking up.
The queen had been out of the palace for three days and the emperor came to pick her up in person, so she had to go back.
But before leaving, he left behind Nanny Xu and the palace maid Xiaoxue, who had always taken care of him.
Luo Huiru was bedridden and had no idea what had happened in the mansion.
Naturally, no one in the mansion would tell her.
That day, she felt better and the sun came out outside after a long absence, so she thought about going out for a walk.
Passing by the garden, she saw Aunt Xu carrying a food box from the kitchen to the main courtyard.
She knew that Nanny Xu was the queen's dowry girl and had been serving the queen since she was a child.
I just don't know why Nanny Xu suddenly appeared in Prince Ling's Mansion?
She thought about it, then took a few quick steps forward to say hello.
"Madam Xu, it's been a long time since we last met. What brings you here?"
"Who are you?" Aunt Xu looked Luo Huiru up and down and had no impression of this person.
"I am Luo Huiru, the youngest daughter of Minister Luo. I married into the palace with the princess two years ago."
Luo Huiru never mentioned that she was an aunt, she only said her father's name, and emphasized that she married into the palace on the same day as the princess.
"Oh, the daughter of Minister Luo who murdered the mistress and was demoted to a concubine?"
Aunt Xu looked as if she had suddenly realized something.
Luo Huiru's most shameful thing was exposed on the spot by others, and her face turned pale and blue immediately.
It makes me angry that Aunt Xu keeps bringing up things that are not relevant to her.
"I see you don't look very well."
Luo Huiru immediately looked aggrieved, wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said with a sob:
"It's just that sister Princess is jealous.
When he saw the prince coming to my yard, he poured ice water on me and abused me.
That’s why I became seriously ill.”
Nanny Xu shook her head in her heart. She had spent most of her life in the palace. What kind of monsters and ghosts had she not seen?
If she still can't see through Luo Huiru's little tricks, wouldn't she have lived half her life in vain?
Snapped……
"How dare you, a little aunt, frame the princess? Are you really that bold?"
Luo Huiru was stunned by the slap from Aunt Xu.
"Madam Xu, how could you hit someone so casually?
Although I am a concubine, I am also the prince's woman.
How can a slave like you offend me?"
"You dare to say that you are the prince's woman?
Is she the woman who drugged the prince?
Or the woman who paid someone to kill the princess?
If you are not convinced, go and tell the prince that I beat you today.
If the prince punishes me for you, I will accept it.
Live well, your good days are still ahead, don't kill yourself."
During the few days that Nanny Xu had been here, she had already gotten to know everything that was going on in the backyard of Prince Ling's mansion.
After she arrived, she found it strange to see that the main courtyard was not only guarded by imperial guards, but also by many secret guards.
Why does the main courtyard need special protection?
After asking, I found out about the dirty things Luo Huiru had done.
Her mission in Prince Ling's mansion was to take care of the eldest princess. She knew that Prince Ling was a man who knew what was going on, and she had never thought of getting involved in his family affairs.
But who knew that Luo Huiru would just bump into him.
If she wants to die, I must help her.
Nanny Xu ignored Luo Huiru, whose face was pale and lips were trembling, and turned away with the food box.
The sun in the sky was bright and dazzling, but Luo Huiru felt as if her whole body had fallen into an ice cave and was freezing to the bone.
Even Aunt Xu knew that he had drugged and hired someone to kill Zuo Zixuan.
Did the Empress and the Emperor also know about this?
She returned to the side yard in a daze, and the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became.
"Red apricot..."
"Auntie..." Hong Xing ran in from outside.
"Go and find out what Nanny Xu is doing in the palace?"
Hong Xing pursed her lips and nodded, then turned and left the side yard.
She was gone for the whole day and didn't come back until eight or nine in the evening.
"Why did you take so long?" Luo Huiru scolded angrily.
"Auntie, now everyone in the palace avoids us like snakes and scorpions, no one cares about me at all.
No matter what I asked, they knew nothing.
No one told me, I just had to check it myself.”
Luo Huiru suddenly felt dizzy. Her reputation in the palace had become so bad?
She rested her hands on the table and rubbed her temples.
"Did you find anything?"
"I followed Aunt Xu and saw that she would go to the kitchen to personally boil the medicine three times a day and then send it to the main courtyard."
"Is Zuo Zixuan sick?" Luo Huiru asked with a raised eyebrow.
“I don’t know about that.
Auntie also knows that I cannot approach the main courtyard either."
"Oh, this Jun family is really like this, if they are not from the same family, they will not enter the same door.
The younger one favors Zuo Zixuan, and the older one also favors Zuo Zixuan.
Did Zuo Zixuan cast a spell on them or give them a drug that made them mad?
All of them worship that bitch as if she were their ancestor."
The more Luo Huiru thought about it, the angrier she became. After a long time, she waved at Hong Xing and whispered something in her ear.
Hong Xing stepped back in fear.
"Aunt, have you forgotten that the prince already knew about our hiring someone to kill the princess last time?
The prince has been on the battlefield for some time, so perhaps he has forgotten about it after a long time.
You are trying to harm the princess now. Aren't you afraid that the prince will punish us severely when he comes back and take our lives?"
Luo Huiru sneered and looked at Hong Xing viciously, "I still say the same old thing, if you don't want to be sent to be a prostitute, then go and work hard for me."
Hong Xing had tears in her eyes, she bit her lower lip, nodded, and ran out sobbing softly.
Luo Huiru looked at Hong Xing's back as she left and sneered in her heart.
If the truth is revealed, the Spirit King will kill people, but not us, but your life.
She had no involvement in any of the matters. Hong Xing was the only one who handled everything. Now that the truth has been revealed, what has it got to do with her?
The next day, when no one was using the kitchen in the afternoon, Aunt Xu took out the medicine stove, lit a fire and boiled the medicine.
After boiling the soup for a while, she heard a noise outside the kitchen. She walked around the kitchen as if nothing had happened, but when she didn't see anything, she went back to continue boiling the medicine.
Luo Huiru, who was hiding at the edge of the bamboo forest, turned around and asked Hong Xing who was shivering beside her.
"Did you put the stuff in?"
Hong Xing nodded nervously, "Let it go, let it go..."
"Humph, isn't Aunt Xu a dog who looks down on people? Then you will be buried with Zuo Zixuan."
Luo Huiru saw with her own eyes Aunt Xu carrying the medicine and entering the main courtyard gate, and only then did she go back with a happy look on her face.
After returning, she turned out all her white dresses.
There will be a funeral in this family soon, so we need to choose two white dresses.
An hour later, the gate of the side courtyard was kicked open with a heavy kick.
A group of palace guards rushed in from outside, pressed Hong Xing to the ground as soon as they entered the door, and tied her up with ropes.
Luo Huiru knew that something seemed to have happened to Zuo Zixuan, and the guards had already investigated Hong Xing.
But she didn't expect it to be so fast.
"What are you doing? This is my maid, let her go."
Luo Huiru was hypocritically trying to pull the strings in the middle.
The guard pushed Luo Huiru aside and said, "She is the one we caught."
"What crime has she committed that you want to arrest her?"
"She poisoned the princess's medicine."
"What? Impossible, impossible..."
"What's impossible? A maid saw her go into the kitchen and put something into the medicine jar while Madam Xu wasn't paying attention.
Moreover, the imperial physician came to examine me personally and actually prescribed Duanchangsan."
Luo Huiru was shocked and gasped, "Ah? Hong Xing, how could you do something like murdering the princess behind my back?"
Hong Xing lay on the ground, grabbing the hem of Luo Huiru's skirt, "Aunt, please save me, I grew up with you.
I'm following your orders..."
Snapped……
Luo Huiru slapped Hong Xing on the face and said, "You slut, just because you grew up with me, I indulge you a little more.
I didn't expect you to be bold enough to poison the princess.
No one can help you this time."
"Auntie, you can't be so heartless..."
The guards pulled Hong Xing up from the ground and dragged her out the door.
After everyone had left, Luo Huiru looked towards the gate with a smile on her face.
This time, Zuo Zixuan must be dead, right?
Main courtyard living room.
Zuo Zixuan sat in the main seat, looking at Hong Xing who was standing in the middle of the living room and crying, and sighed deeply.
This is why I insisted on leaving in my previous life.
Multiple women fight to the death for the favor of one man.
It’s tiring just thinking about it.
"Okay, stop crying.
Last night I sent someone to the Shangshu Mansion to steal your indenture.
I will arrange for someone to send you back quietly late at night.
I will give you some money, and you take your family and go far away, and never come back again."
Hong Xing knelt on the ground with a plop and kowtowed to Zuo Zixuan.
"Thank you, Princess. Thank you, Princess..."
"Okay, okay, don't thank me, you fought for your life.
Therefore, after leaving the palace, you must live well. "
