The Empress Dowager slowly moved the beads, and after a while of silence, she said, "Are you sure that Concubine Xiao does not know martial arts?"

Gan Fu: "The slave can't be sure. At least she has never shown martial arts in front of the slave. The people she serves have also been interrogated. No one can prove that she knows martial arts."

The Empress Dowager: "Since she doesn't know martial arts, how did she leave the palace silently?"

Gan Fu: "At that time, everyone was in a hurry by the news of Emperor Sheng Yong's death, and for a while no one cared to see what Concubine Xiao was doing.

By the time someone remembered her, she was gone.

Afterwards, the servant asked the people in Weiyang Palace, and some people said that they had seen Concubine Xiao leave from the Palace of Weiyang.

The reason why she was able to leave the palace gate smoothly was because she held the token given by the prince in her hand. "

When the Empress Dowager heard the last sentence, her expression changed slightly.

"Why is the crown prince's token in the hands of Concubine Xiao?"

Gan Fu shook his head: "The slaves don't know about this."

The Empress Dowager stared at him and asked, "Do you think Concubine Xiao's disappearance has something to do with the death of Emperor Sheng Yong?"

Gan Fu had a look of astonishment on his face.

He asked in surprise, "Why do you think so?"

The Empress Dowager emphasized: "You don't need to know the reason, you just need to tell the truth in your heart."

Gan Fu seems to be very confused.

After a while he spoke again.

"The servant did suspect Concubine Xiao."

The Empress Dowager: "That is to say, you also think that Concubine Xiao may have something to do with the death of Emperor Sheng Yong."

Gan Fu: "There is no evidence for the servants, everything is just the speculation of the servants, and it has been so long, Concubine Xiao has not come back, I am afraid that the misfortune is much worse, the servants are now loyal to the Empress Dowager, and no longer care about the past. Worry again."

The Empress Dowager didn't say anything more, she said lightly.

"Wake up, Ai's family already knows, go with your own business."

Gan Fu bowed respectfully: "The servant retire."

After he left the Taimiao, he went straight to the palace of the eldest princess.

In order to separate Xia Yifei and Lu Xinyao and prevent them from really developing feelings for each other, Princess Hua An specially sent Xia Yifei to his grandfather's house, euphemistically, so that he could serve his grandfather instead of his parents.

After Xia Yifei left, Lu Xinyao never saw him again.

Princess Hua An was relieved and no longer restrained Lu Xinyao. She often took her out to socialize and helped her find suitable people.

At this time, Princess Hua'an was talking to Lu Xinyao about a family they met recently.

Princess Hua An felt very satisfied, but found that Lu Xinyao was absent-minded. Just when she was about to ask the reason, she happened to hear that it was Gan Fu.

Princess Hua'an had to stop talking, got up and went to the front yard.

She met Gan Fu in the flower hall.

After a brief exchange between the two parties, Gan Fu explained his purpose.

"The Empress Dowager, please come over as soon as possible."

Princess Hua An just thought it was her mother who was thinking of herself. Without asking more, she replied, "Wait a moment, I'll change my clothes, and I'll go to see my mother with you."

Gan Fu said yes.

Princess Hua An quickly changed her clothes.

She asked people to take out some precious supplements from the storeroom and take them to the Taimiao Temple together.

When she saw the Empress Dowager, she saw the Empress Dowager lying on the soft couch, looking weak.

Princess Hua An hurriedly asked.

"What's wrong with you, Queen Mother? Is there something wrong with you? What about the imperial physician? What did the imperial physician say?"

The Empress Dowager said softly.

"The Imperial Physician has already seen Ai's family. Ai's family is old and her body is not as good as before. It is inevitable that there will be some messy problems. It's not in the way."

Princess Hua'an hurriedly said.

"How can it not be in the way?

You are so ill, you must have brought poor medical skills.

I'll go back to the palace and call the imperial doctor's order to you, so that he can give you a good diagnosis and treatment. "

Nvshi Kong, who was standing beside him, spoke in a timely manner.

"His Royal Highness, the Empress Dowager is actually suffering from a heart disease, and a heart disease requires a medical doctor."

Princess Hua'an asked, "What's on your mind?"

Confucius said helplessly: "Recently, there are many concubines in the palace who have been poisoned. Some people suspect that it was done by the Great Empress Dowager. After the Great Empress Dowager heard about this, she immediately became ill."

Princess Hua'an also heard about the poisoning of the concubines, but she did not expect that the Empress Dowager, who was far away in the Taimiao Temple, would also know about it.

She hurriedly reassured.

"Don't be angry, Queen Mother, someone must be deliberately making trouble about this matter, trying to frame the blame for you.

I'll go to the palace and tell the emperor that he must investigate this matter clearly, and you will be cleared of innocence! "

The Empress Dowager: "I'm afraid the emperor will not believe that Aijia is innocent."

Princess Hua'an: "How can it be? The emperor is your grandson. He doesn't believe who else can you believe?!"

The Empress Dowager: "You are not him. How do you know that he will believe in Aijia? Unless he tells Aijia himself."

Princess Hua'an coaxed softly.

"Okay, I will definitely try to convince the emperor to let him tell you in person.

Don't think about anything now, just take good care of your body. "

In order to make her mother feel more comfortable, Princess Hua An turned to talk about Lu Xinyao's marriage.

The Queen Mother was really distracted, and began to focus on listening to what she told Lu Xinyao to look at.

When leaving the Taimiao, Princess Hua'an also specifically told Nvshi Confucius to take good care of the Queen Mother.

Confucius Nvshi responded one by one and respectfully sent the people out of the imperial temple.

Early the next morning.

Princess Hua'an went to the palace to meet the emperor.

Luo Qinghan summoned her in the pavilion next to Taiye Pond.

Princess Hua'an: "I heard that many concubines in the palace were poisoned. This may involve the Empress Dowager. Is it true?"

Luo Qinghan replied lightly, "Yes."

Princess Hua'an: "The Empress Dowager will not do such a thing. It will not do her any good. Someone must be deliberately framing her, trying to provoke the relationship between your grandparents and grandchildren."

Luo Qinghan: "You came to see me this time just to say this?"

Princess Hua'an: "The Empress Dowager wants to see you."

Luo Qinghan: "Why?"

Princess Hua'an: "The Empress Dowager learned that she was wronged, angry and sick. If you can go to see her, it should make her feel a lot better. As long as she is at ease, her illness will naturally be cured. ."

Luo Qinghan asked in a low voice, "Is it a real disease or a fake disease?"

Princess Hua An was stunned for a moment, and then asked back with a frown.

"What do you mean by this, Your Majesty? Could it be that Your Majesty suspects that the Empress Dowager is feigning illness?!"

Luo Qinghan: "It's not difficult to pretend to be sick, especially for someone like the imperial grandmother who has lived in the palace for many years, it's even easier."

Princess Hua'an asked: "What's the reason? Even if the Empress Dowager wants to pretend to be sick, there must be a reason."
