Chapter 102 Mourning
gossip--
"Have you heard? Have you heard?
The incident in which Concubine Lin Gui instigated Aunt Xinyun to murder the Empress Dowager was exposed, causing His Majesty to be furious!
Many people were arrested in the palace. I heard that they were all sown by Concubine Lin Gui when she was managing the harem. "
"I heard that Concubine Lin Gui was going to become the Crown Princess, but the Queen Mother gave birth to our Majesty and snatched the position of Crown Princess away from her.
Doesn't Concubine Lin Gui hate the Empress Dowager? That's why she has been thinking about murdering the Empress Dowager. "
“Didn’t Concubine Lin Gui bribe Xin Yun?
Wouldn't it be easy to murder the Queen Mother through Xinyun?"
"It's not that easy!"

Zhaozheng Hall.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother will recover after a while of recuperation, but her eyesight may not be very good."
"Can't see it?" Qin Zhi's hand paused as he was marking the memorial.
"You can still vaguely see something."
"It's a blessing to have a life saved. Eyes, go tell the Queen Mother not to worry, and take some eye-clearing soup and food to slowly recover."
"Your Majesty is open-minded."
Qin Zhi waved his hand, signaling the man to get out.
"Wei Chen retire."
Qin Zhi handled government affairs skillfully. Not long after, a palace servant came to report: "Your Majesty, the princesses of Zheng, Xu, and Qi wish to see you."
"No." Qin Zhi said casually.
After a while, he suddenly raised his head and ordered, "Zhang Deli, watch Lin Heng's office collect all the lilies of the valley in the palace, and dispose of them collectively after counting the number."
"Your Majesty, ever since you ordered these lilies of the valley to be brought into the palace for planting, I have had people guarding them day and night.
How many plants were planted, how many plants grew, how many branches were lost every day, how many flowers withered, the numbers were all clear," said Zhang Deli.
This lily of the valley is poisonous, so you can't be careless.
However, even if someone secretly left one or two plants, it doesn’t matter. The lily of the valley’s toxin is actually not that strong. If it wants to be fatal, a large amount of fresh juice must be applied to the skin.
One or two plants can only be used for viewing. Once the number planted increases, they will be discovered by the palace people immediately. Where is the hidden place in this palace?
Now everyone in the palace knows that the Empress Dowager was poisoned by Concubine Lin Gui using lily of the valley poison. Now that it's out in the open, what else is there to play with?
Let's try another one.
The poison in the Empress Dowager seemed to be spreading very quickly and fiercely, but it only looked scary and was not actually fatal.
The Queen Mother took lily of the valley dew orally.
The correct way to use lily of the valley poison is to allow the juice to penetrate the skin little by little, just like they did when they dealt with the late emperor.
The late emperor’s death was not entirely due to poisoning; he was indeed very ill at the time.
The poison of lily of the valley only accelerated the death of the late emperor.
Alas, poor late emperor!
The three most influential women in the harem, without any conspiracy, worked together to push for the death of the late emperor.
Empress Dowager Lu was the mother of the crown prince and the empress at the time.
Concubine Lin Gui was the late emperor's cousin and was second only to the empress.
Concubine Zhao Chen was the late emperor's beloved concubine.
The three of them jointly pushed forward the death process of the late emperor.
It's too dangerous. These women are too dangerous.
His eyes must help His Majesty keep an eye on the harem.
His Majesty is different from the late emperor. His Majesty will live a long life.
The lilies of the valley that Your Majesty planted in the yard of Luanyi Palace are not just bait for Your Majesty to use for fishing.
He knew exactly who moved what and how much.
The memories go back to three months ago, when Crown Prince Zhaohui passed away and Concubine Yi was heartbroken.
His Majesty comforted Concubine Yi by saying that the white lily of the valley flowers could temporarily represent the soul of Crown Prince Zhaohui and the grief of the living.
During the 100-day mourning period for Crown Prince Zhaohui, his biological mother, Concubine Yi, planted a courtyard full of white lilies of the valley in the Luanyi Palace. This was the parents' wish for their child to be happy in the afterlife.
His Majesty knew that lily of the valley was poisonous, so he issued an oral order strictly forbidding Princess Ronglu to touch the flowers in the courtyard.
Even if Concubine Yi didn't know that lily of the valley was poisonous, she would still keep a close eye on the eldest princess.
Because during those hundred days, among the lily of the valley flowers that filled the yard, one of them might hold the soul of her child who had died young.
Now that Prince Zhaohui's hundred days have passed, it's time to pull out all the white lilies of the valley in the yard. Alas.
The living should look forward.
