Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 408
When the imperial physician arrived, Concubine Zhang Shu was already out of breath. Imperial physician Zhong entered the room and checked Concubine Zhang Shu's body.

"I report to the imperial concubine, Concubine Zhang Shu has already gone, it is highly poisonous." After examination, Imperial Physician Zhong found that Concubine Zhang Shu's poison was on her nails.

"Of the ten fingers, only one is poisonous. It seems to be kept with poison all year round. In this case, even if you wipe your hands or touch water, there will be no problem. The poison must see blood, otherwise it will be ineffective."

Report all the results of the investigation to Su Qingning, and Imperial Physician Zhong stands aside, waiting for orders at any time.

"Understood, there is the doctor Lao Zhong." Nodding, Su Qingning did not expect that Concubine Zhang Shu would end her life in such a way, let alone that she had a poisonous nail all the time.

Before she died, she said that in this life, except for giving birth to the eldest princess, she was the happiest today. Maybe it means that she can choose to end herself?
In the harem, too many people can't help themselves.

"Let the people in the palace come and bury her in accordance with Concubine Shu's regulations."

Although she once helped the evildoers and even tried to harm her own children several times, but now she is dead and is the eldest princess' biological mother. For the sake of the eldest princess, she should be given the last respect.

Presumably, if the emperor is here, it will be the same.

"Let's say to the outside world that Concubine Zhang Shu suddenly fell ill and died." He ordered Hongxiu to stay and deal with Concubine Zhang Shu's funeral. Concubine Zhang Shu's current appearance could tell that she died of poisoning.

In order to prevent the palace people from talking nonsense, Su Qingning directly gave a conclusion.

After receiving the order, Hongxiu responded and called people to go to the palace to inspect. Su Qingning left here together with Mother Chen and Imperial Physician Zhong.

The hidden guards left one or two people behind to follow the follow-up of this matter. After all, no one knows whether there will be changes in this matter.

"Master, do you want to go back to the palace directly?" Mother Chen asked after Su Qingning got into the sedan chair.

"Let's go to Yongchun Palace. As for Imperial Physician Zhong, he will come to Yuxiu Palace tomorrow morning to help me diagnose the Ping An pulse." Looking at Imperial Physician Zhong, Su Qingning ordered, and Imperial Physician Zhong quickly responded, waiting for Su Qingning's sedan chair to leave After that, he returned to Tai Hospital.

"Master, are you alright?" On the way to Yongchun Palace, Nanny Chen looked at Su Qingning and asked with concern.

"Don't worry, Mammy, I haven't experienced such a thing once, it doesn't matter."

Su Qingning felt a little helpless in her heart. After all, she had experienced this kind of thing several times.

During the last pregnancy, Li's mother died in front of him, and a maid in his palace also died in front of him.

This time, it was Concubine Zhang Shu, and there were quite a few of them.

It's just that she is no longer the one she was back then, the one who blamed herself to the point of being unconscious because of Mrs. Li's death.

Whether it is the death of Mrs. Li or the death of Concubine Zhang Shu, it has nothing to do with her. It can only be said that this is fate.

When she said this, Mother Chen felt relieved, what she was most afraid of was that her master would hurt her body because she witnessed Concubine Zhang Shu's death.

All the way in the sedan chair, they arrived at Yongchun Palace. Knowing that Su Qingning was coming, Concubine Lu came out with the eldest princess.

She didn't know that Su Qingning went to see Concubine Zhang Shu, nor did she know that Concubine Zhang Shu had committed suicide with poison.

"Why is the imperial concubine here at this time?" After saluting, Concubine Lu smiled and said, it could be seen that Concubine Lu was in a good mood because the eldest princess was here.

"Miss Su, where are the younger brothers?" The eldest princess looked behind Su Qingning, but she was a little disappointed that she didn't see the two princes.

"The younger brothers are in Yuxiu Palace. If you want to find them, let the wet nurse take you to play." It happened that she had something to tell Concubine Lu, the eldest princess had better not be here.

"Mistress Lu, can I go to Yuxiu Palace to play with my younger brothers?" Obviously, the Eldest Princess wanted to go, she looked at Concubine Lu and asked her.

"Okay then, go and play with your younger brothers. Madam Lu will pick you up later, okay?" She nodded with a smile, and Concubine Lu showed kindness on her face. Ask the wet nurse to take her to Yuxiu Palace.

"Mother Chen, work harder, and go back with you personally." Su Qingning was worried that only the wet nurse was with her. She looked at Mother Chen and gave instructions.

"Let Rui'er go. If it's hot today, don't let Nanny Chen bother you." Concubine Lu knew that Su Qingning valued Nanny Chen, so she hurriedly said.

"Thank you, Concubine Lu, for your concern. Didn't you just say that you will go pick up the princess in person later? The old servant will accompany you back, so I won't come back. It's not a toss."

After saluting with a smile, Nanny Chen said, she said so, Concubine Lu thought about it, and it was true, so she agreed.

Nanny Chen accompanied the wet nurse and the eldest princess back to Yuxiu Palace.

In Yongchun Palace, Su Qingning and Concubine Lu were sitting in the main hall. Concubine Lu looked at her expression, feeling that she had something to say to herself.

"Rui'er, go and watch over me, I'll have a good chat with the noble concubine." After ordering, when Rui'er went to the gate of the hall, Concubine Lu looked at Su Qingning, "Look at your face, but what do you want to tell me?" ?”

"Sister Lu really understands me." After taking a sip of water, Su Qingning sighed, "Concubine Zhang Shu has gone."

"Go? When did it happen? Did it crash before?" Concubine Lu heard about Concubine Zhang Shu's suicide by hitting a wall, "Didn't it mean there was no serious problem?"

"It's not hitting the wall, it's using poison." She told Concubine Lu all about what she wanted to see him, and everything that happened after meeting her today.

When it came to the end, Su Qingning sighed a little, "I never thought that she would use such a method to end herself in the end."

"Don't say it's you, I didn't expect it." Concubine Lu frowned slightly. This ending was beyond her expectation.

"No wonder you want the Eldest Princess to play in Yuxiu Palace. It's best not to let her know about it." After living in Yongchun Palace for a few days, the Eldest Princess would still ask about Concubine Zhang Shu occasionally.

"Well, I have ordered that no one be allowed to talk about Concubine Zhang Shu's death. If they really talk about it, they will say that she was seriously ill and died without treatment."

Su Qingning understood that if the matter was really mentioned and the eldest princess knew about it, it would definitely have a great impact.

"After all, she is a mother. Before Concubine Zhang Shu died, I promised her that the eldest princess would be handed over to you to raise her. If the eldest princess really has no memory of her biological mother in the future, let her forget it."

After all, it was Concubine Zhang Shu's last wish. Since she agreed, she would try her best to do what she could.

After listening to Su Qingning's words, Concubine Lu shook her head.

"Where is it so easy to forget? Don't look at the little princess, she can hide things in her heart. As for her biological mother, she will never forget it in this life. If she really asks in the future, I will still tell you. Hers, she has a right to know."
