Two hours later.

Imperial concubine Li stood at the gate of Qingge hall, with a deep hatred on her face.

Su Mei whispered and urged, "madam, you have been standing here for less than half an hour. If you don't go in again, it will be dark."

Imperial concubine Li stared at her angrily.

"Shut up!"

Su Mei closed her mouth and dared not speak again.

Imperial concubine Li took a deep breath. It's all right. Isn't it just asking for something? It's not a shame. Calm down!

She was about to step forward when Qingsong came out with a lantern.

Qingsong was surprised when he saw Princess Li. He quickly saluted: "meet princess Li. Why are you free?"

Since she was poisoned, concubine Li has been recuperating in the Jinfeng hall. Qingsong hasn't seen her for several days. Unexpectedly, she will suddenly come to the door today.

Imperial concubine Li said as if nothing had happened: "I've come to talk to imperial concubine Xiao about something. Where is she?"

Qingsong: "she's in the house. Please wait a moment. The slave will go and pass it on."

He didn't even put down the lantern, so he ran back.

A moment later, Qingsong came back and said respectfully, "madam, please go in."

Concubine Li walked into the Qingge hall.

Xiao Xixi was teasing Luo Xiaoxi. When she saw concubine Li coming, she said the first word——

"Are you here to pay back?"

Princess Li side: "

Princess Li regretted it.

She shouldn't have come here!

I wonder if she can leave now?

Xiao Xixi said happily, "Baoqin, go and get concubine Li's IOU!"

The expression on Li's side imperial concubine's face was completely stretched. She shouted angrily, "I'm not here to pay back the money!"

Xiao Xi tutted, "what are you doing here?"

Concubine Li clearly felt the dislike from her creditors.

She's so angry!

But she can't attack yet. She can only stifle it and squeeze out a smile.

"I came to ask you something."

Xiao Xi held his cheek in one hand and said lazily, "say it. For the sake of so much money you owe me, I'll try my best to answer you."

Imperial concubine Li wants to scream. Can't you not mention the money you owe?!

She took a deep breath and tried to keep herself calm.

"Caiyun was taken away by Yu Linwei. It's been many days. People haven't come back yet. Yu Linwei doesn't even give a message. I want to know how Caiyun is now? When can Yu Linwei return her to me?"

Xiao Xi looked at her strangely: "don't you know yet?"

Imperial concubine Li: "what do you know?"

Xiao Xixi: "you were poisoned because Caiyun secretly put a small amount of arsenic in the tea."

Princess Li was stunned.

She opened her eyes wide in disbelief. "It's impossible!"

Since she entered the palace, Caiyun has been with her. It can be said that the person she trusts most in the whole palace is Caiyun. She doesn't believe that Caiyun will poison herself.

Concubine Li shouted angrily, "you lie! Caiyun can't do such a thing. You must be lying to me!"

Xiao Xixi: "is it necessary for me to deceive you with this kind of thing? Besides, Yu Linwei has found out the matter, and the witness and material evidence are conclusive. If you don't believe it, you can ask the prince in person when he comes back."

She spoke so clearly that she was not afraid of the other party to check. Such a calm and calm appearance made Princess Li's heart begin to shake.

Concubine Li's mood fluctuated violently.

Her body had not fully recovered. Now she received such strong stimulation. Her head was a little dizzy, and her body shook twice.

Su Mei hurriedly held her: "madam, are you all right?"

Imperial concubine Li found a place to sit down, put one hand on her chest and took two deep breaths.

When her body recovered, she spoke slowly, word by word.

"I don't believe Caiyun will hurt me."

Xiao Xixi understood Li's reaction.

If she had faced this situation, she would not believe it.

"You can wait here. When the prince comes, ask him yourself. If you don't believe me, you should always believe the prince."

Imperial concubine Li stopped talking and her face was as white as paper.

Before long, the prince came to the Qingge hall.

He saw imperial concubine Li here, too, with a slight pause.

At ordinary times, Princess Li must be very happy to see the prince, but now she is not happy at all. She even has unspeakable anxiety and uneasiness in her heart.

She saluted Xiao Xi.

Luo QingHan saw that imperial concubine Li's look was wrong, and he probably guessed in his heart.

Imperial concubine Li was an impatient person. She couldn't wait to ask without greeting.

"Your Highness, how is Caiyun now?"

Luo QingHan said faintly, "she's still alive. Do you want to see her?"

Princess Li's lips moved. She wanted to ask if Caiyun really betrayed her?

But the words turned around his mouth for several times, and finally he couldn't say it.

She was afraid that she would hear the answer she didn't want to hear.

After a while, she struggled to squeeze out a sentence: "I want to see her."

Luo QingHan said to Grandpa Chang.

"You take her."

"Here."

Father Chang made a gesture of invitation.

With the help of Su Mei, concubine Li walked out of the Qingge hall slowly.

Generally, palace maids and eunuchs who make mistakes will be sent to the punishment department for trial, but Caiyun was taken away by Yulin Wei. She was detained in the punishment room of Yulin department.

When concubine Li saw Caiyun, she was frightened by the tragedy of Caiyun on the spot.

At this time, Caiyun was unkempt and hurt all over. She sat on the ground with her back against the cold and solid wall.

She has only one last breath left now.

Imperial concubine Li stood at the door, a little afraid to get close to each other.

Father Chang stood outside the door and didn't go in.

Hesitated for a long time, imperial concubine Li whispered, "Caiyun."

Caiyun, who was about to faint, suddenly woke up when he heard the sound.

She raised her head with difficulty and saw Li Xifei standing not far away. Her pupils narrowed slightly.

Who is the last person she wants to see now? It must be princess Li.

She admitted that she was not sorry for anyone, but she was really ashamed of Princess Li.

Li side imperial concubine pursed her lower lip. After all, she summoned up the courage and took two steps forward.

"Caiyun, I have something to ask you."

The clouds didn't move or squeak.

Imperial concubine Li stared at her face, and asked softly, "they said you poisoned me. Is it true?"

After being quiet for a long time, I heard Caiyun's hoarse and weak voice.

"Do you believe it?"

Princess Li sipped her lower lip: "I don't believe it, so I'll ask you. I want to hear it from you."

A long time passed.

Caiyun spits out four words in a slightly undetectable voice.

"I did it."

Concubine Li was frozen in place. After a short period of consternation, strong anger surged out, almost swallowing her reason.

"Why?!"

"I trust you so much that I leave all the big and small things in the golden wind hall to you to deal with. I never ask your decision. Why did you betray me?"
