Chapter 232 Risking Yourself
Chapter 232 Risking Yourself
Chang Liu didn't believe it.
When she was in the mansion before, she was just spoiled, willful and jealous.
But she would not be like she is now, jealous and intolerant.
The throne, the power.
It can indeed deceive people's eyes.
Chang Liu lowered his eyes, looking cold and ruthless.
"Li, I gave you countless chances. You threatened Zhou to frame Wen Changwan, and your willfulness killed the second princess."
"Because of your aggressiveness, Zhou dragged the eldest prince down with her."
"You even ignored your own pregnancy and gave birth prematurely out of jealousy, causing the little prince to die shortly after birth."
Facing Chang Liu's accusations, Concubine Li shook her head vigorously.
I didn't expect that in Chang Liu's eyes, I would be so unbearable.
Her hair was disheveled and her face was covered with tears. Her makeup was smudged and it looked like white liquid was flowing on her face.
But facing her embarrassment and sadness, Chang Liu stood there without saying a word.
Li Bin explained hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, I have never harmed the Second Princess. I was just feeling unwell that day, so I summoned the imperial physician as usual."
"Zhou's family was poisoned, it was not done by me. I never forced Zhou."
"There is also the matter of Concubine Yi being poisoned. I have no grudge against her, not to mention that she was the cook I sent over. If she poisoned him, it would be discovered immediately. Isn't that just trying to cover up one's mistake?"
Just as Li Bin explained.
Too obvious.
The chef she sent poisoned the pastries himself. What's the difference between this and trying to cover up one's mistakes and stealing a bell?
The Queen Mother and Chang Liu looked at each other in silence.
Li Bin saw that the two of them seemed to have listened carefully.
She continued sadly, "I won't sacrifice my own life just to harm Concubine Yi."
"My eldest princess is still young. Even if I can no longer have children, I have to think about her."
At this moment, Xianxian let out a soft moan from the bed.
She slowly opened her eyes, with a hint of confusion in her eyes.
But soon she put her hands on her belly.
"My child, my child."
When Chang Liu heard Xianxian's voice, he turned around and came to the bed. He held Xianxian's hand with a concerned look on his face.
"You finally woke up. I was so anxious."
She squeezed out tears and said in panic, "Your Majesty, our child..."
Chang Liu comforted him, "You are fine, and the child is fine too. The imperial physician said that you have consumed little water chestnut cake, and the toxin will not harm you and the child."
The heartwarming scene before her left Li Bin stunned.
Even when she was in favor, Chang Liu would not be so cautious.
In front of Xianxian, he didn't seem like an emperor, but more like an ordinary husband caring for his wife.
At this time, Xianxian seemed to have just noticed Concubine Li.
"Why is Sister Li Bin here?"
Chang Liu swept a cold gaze over Concubine Li.
"She sent the Queen Mother's cook to poison you. The Queen Mother and I are interrogating her."
Xianxian had actually woken up a long time ago, but she deliberately didn't open her eyes.
"Princess Li?"
Xianxian held her belly with a pale face, her thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and she looked a little broken.
"Why do you want to hurt me? Is it just because of ridiculous jealousy? Do I have to make you take risks?"
Looking at Xianxian who was questioning her on the bed, Li Bin opened her lips slightly but didn't know how to defend herself.
envy?
She was indeed jealous of Concubine Yi because she was favored by Chang Liu.
When she woke up in the middle of the night, Concubine Li was cursing in the palace.
But Concubine Li never thought of harming Concubine Yi.
Too risky.
Now many eyes are staring at Concubine Yi.
She retorted, "I didn't hurt you."
Xianxian covered her stomach with fear on her face and said with lingering fear.
"The child is innocent, you are too cruel."
The Queen Mother was not going to give Concubine Li another chance to explain herself.
"Emperor, even if Concubine Yi is fine now, you can't let her down. You should punish her as she deserves."
The smoke of gunpowder was too thick in the palace, and young children died one after another.
The Queen Mother had long been dissatisfied with Concubine Li.
But Chang Liu thought of the eldest princess and spared Concubine Li's life.
"Li's virtue was lacking, so he was demoted to Baolin and moved to Lingyun Hall in the West Palace. We will never see each other again in this life."
Chang Liu looked at Li Bin with disgust, "If it weren't for the fact that the eldest princess couldn't have a sinner mother, I really wanted to depose you."
"hehe."
There was despair in Li Bin's eyes, and she laughed madly and sadly.
"What love? What affection? It turns out that your majesty was just deceiving me."
She looked at Xianxian and gritted her teeth.
"Princess Yi, do you think you won?"
"My today is your tomorrow. There is no true love in the palace. I will watch you lose in the West Palace."
"You are all going to lose, you are all going to lose!"
The Queen Mother was enraged by Concubine Li's crazy appearance.
"It's crazy."
"Drag it!"
Xianxian, who was sitting on the bed, gently stroked her belly.
lose?
I won't lose.
He was worried that Xianxian might have overheard what Li Bin said and was suspicious.
Chang Liu said to Xianxian, "Li has gone crazy, don't believe her crazy words."
The Queen Mother had left at some point, leaving only Xianxian and Chang Liu in the room.
Xianxian snuggled in Chang Liu's arms and asked anxiously, "Your Majesty, why would Li harm me?"
"I have been too pampering to her these years. When I was still a prince, I ignored her humble background and asked for her to be made a concubine."
"I even ascended the throne and conferred her the title of Imperial Concubine, ranking above Concubine Zheng Xian. This has completely changed her appearance."
Chang Liu spoke of the past with a hint of loneliness in his voice. You have to know that he truly loved Li.
Li, who was sixteen years old at the time, guided him in understanding matters of the bed and gave him his first taste of love.
It’s a pity that things and people have changed.
After the imperial physician confirmed that Xianxian was in good health, Chang Liu personally sent Xianxian back to Guanju Palace.
Chang Liu left early because of something in Qinzheng Hall, so Xianxian sat by the window and closed her eyes to recite scriptures.
Fu Liu called all the palace maids out of the room. She walked forward and looked at Xianxian worriedly.
"My lady, you are taking too much risk this time. Why do you want to put yourself in danger?"
Fu Liu would carefully count the things in Guanju Palace every day.
Originally, Xianxian was poisoned and fainted, but she did not suspect that it was Xianxian herself.
There are ten thousand possibilities in the palace, but Xianxian is pregnant and there is no way she can take any risks.
If there is a deviation and problems occur with the fetus in the womb, it would be a waste of time and effort.
But today, when Fu Liu came back to count the things, he accidentally discovered that the hidden poison was less.
She had already guessed most of it.
Xianxian opened her eyes and casually flipped through the Buddhist scriptures.
"Fu Liu, you must understand that you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. I didn't discuss this with you. I just wanted to play a full role. But I took the risk just to kill him with one blow."
"My queen, the prince in your belly is the most important thing now. Please consider the prince and take care of yourself."
Xianxian lowered her head and looked at her bulging belly.
"How could my child be so fragile? If he can't even endure this little hardship, how can he become the most powerful person in the future?"
This so-called poisoning was nothing more than a trap set by Xianxian, a frame-up against the Li family.
Ever since she heard that Li sent a cook to the Queen Mother, she wanted to use the Queen Mother to get rid of Li.
