Two hours later.

Concubine Li was standing at the door of Qingge Hall with a bitter look on her face.

Su Mei urged in a low voice, "Niangniang, you have been standing here for half an hour. If you don't go in, it will be dark."

Concubine Li glared at her angrily.

"To shut up!"

Su Mei cowardly closed her mouth, not daring to speak any more.

Concubine Li took a deep breath, it's all right, isn't she just asking someone about something? This is not a shameful thing, calm down!

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

Qingsong was surprised when he saw Concubine Li, and hurriedly bowed: "I see Concubine Side, how come you are free?"

Since she was poisoned, Concubine Li has been recuperating in the Golden Wind Palace. Qingsong has not seen her for several days. She didn't expect that she would suddenly come to her door today.

Concubine Li said casually, "I'm here to talk to Concubine Xiao, where is she?"

Qingsong: "She's in the house, please wait a moment, the servant will go and spread the word."

He didn't even put down the lantern, and ran back in a hurry.

After a while, Qingsong came back and said respectfully, "My lady, please come in."

Concubine Li stepped into the Qingge Hall.

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

"Are you here to pay back the money?"

Concubine Li: "..."

Concubine Li regretted it.

She shouldn't be here!

I don't know if it's too late for her to leave now?

Xiao Xixi said cheerfully, "Bao Qin, go and get Concubine Li's IOU!"

The expression on Concubine Li's face was completely unbearable, and she shouted angrily, "I didn't come to pay back the money!"

Xiao Xixi tutted: "Then why are you here?"

Concubine Li clearly felt the dislike from the creditor.

She is so angry!

But she couldn't have a seizure yet, so she could only hold back abruptly and force a smile.

"I'm here to ask you something."

Xiao Xixi rested her cheek with one hand and said lazily, "Go ahead, I will try my best to answer you because you owe me so much money."

Concubine Li wants to scream, can't you not mention the money you owe? !

She took a deep breath, trying to keep herself calm.

"Caiyun was taken away by Yulinwei. It's been a long time since she came back. Yulinwei didn't even give her a message. I want to know how Caiyun is now? When will Yulinwei give her back? I?"

Xiao Xixi looked at her strangely: "Don't you know yet?"

Concubine Li: "Know what?"

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

Concubine Li was stunned.

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

Since she entered the palace, Caiyun has been by her side. It can be said that in the entire palace, the person she trusts most is Caiyun. She does not believe that Caiyun will poison herself.

Concubine Li shouted angrily: "You lie! Caiyun can never do such a thing, you must be lying to me!"

Xiao Xixi: "Do I have to lie to you about this kind of thing? Besides, Yu Linwei has already checked this matter, and the evidence is conclusive. If you don't believe it, you can wait for the prince to come back and ask him in person. ."

She said it with certainty, and was not afraid of the other party to check, so calm and calm, Concubine Li began to shake in her heart.

Concubine Li's mood fluctuated violently.

Her body has not yet fully recovered, and now she has received such a strong stimulus, her head is a little dizzy, and her body shakes twice.

Sumei hurriedly supported her: "Niangniang, are you alright?"

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

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

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

Xiao Xixi understood Concubine Li's reaction.

If it were her who faced this situation, she would not believe it.

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

Concubine Li stopped talking, her face was as pale as paper.

Not long after, the prince came to Qingge Hall.

When he saw that Concubine Li was also here, he paused slightly.

If it was normal, Concubine Li must be very happy to see the prince, but now, she is not happy at all, and she even has an indescribable anxiety and unease in her heart.

She and Xiao Xixi greeted each other.

Luo Qinghan saw that Concubine Li's expression was not right, and he probably had some guesses in his heart.

Concubine Li is an impatient person, so she couldn't wait to ask the greetings.

"Your Highness, how is Caiyun now?"

Luo Qinghan said lightly: "She is still alive, do you want to see her?"

Concubine Li's lips moved, she wanted to ask Caiyun if she really betrayed her?

But the words swirled around for several times, but in the end they couldn't say it.

She was afraid that she would hear the answer she least wanted to hear.

After a while, she managed to squeeze out a sentence: "My concubine wants to see her."

Luo Qinghan said to Eunuch Chang.

"You take her there."

"Here."

Eunuch Chang made a gesture of invitation.

With the help of Su Mei, Concubine Li walked out of the Qingge Hall slowly.

Usually, the palace maids and eunuchs who make mistakes will be sent to the Judgment Division for trial, but Caiyun was taken away by Yu Linwei, and she is imprisoned in Yulin Division's torture room.

When Concubine Li saw Caiyun, she was frightened by Caiyun's tragic situation on the spot.

At this time, Caiyun was unkempt and covered in injuries. She slumped on the ground, leaning her back against the cold and solid wall.

She only had her last breath left.

Concubine Li stood at the door, a little afraid to approach each other.

Eunuch Chang stood outside the door and did not go in.

After hesitating for a long time, Concubine Li called softly, "Caiyun."

Caiyun, who was about to faint when he heard this voice, suddenly became more awake.

She raised her head with difficulty and saw Concubine Li who was standing not far away, her pupils shrank slightly.

Who is the person she doesn't want to see now? It must be Concubine Li.

She admitted that she didn't feel sorry for anyone, but she was really ashamed of Concubine Li.

Concubine Li pursed her lower lip, but in the end she mustered up her courage and took another two steps forward.

"Caiyun, I have something to ask you."

Caiyun didn't move or make a sound.

Concubine Li stared at her face and couldn't see her original face, and asked softly, "Is it true that they said you poisoned me?"

After a long silence, I heard Caiyun's hoarse and weak voice.

"Do you believe it?"

Concubine Li pursed her lower lip: "I don't believe it, so I came to ask you, I want to hear from you."

Another long time passed.

Caiyun spit out four words in a faint voice.

"I did it."

Concubine Li froze in place, and after a brief stupor, a strong anger surged out, almost engulfing her sanity.

"why?!"

"I trust you so much, I leave everything big and small in the Golden Wind Palace to you to handle, and never ask your decision, why did you betray me?"
