During the past two days, Deng Sui had been relatively comfortable.

There was no disturbance in the harem, and the emperor never came. He spent most of his time either embroidering or wrapping threads, quietly thinking about things in the palace. I originally wanted to let someone go out of the palace to have a closer look at Nianghe's house.

Case.

But after thinking about it, I was always afraid of ruining someone's plans in the palace, so I couldn't be cruel in the end.

"What are you thinking about, so fascinated?" A pair of broad palms gently placed on her shoulders, Liu Zhao leaned down and came close to her ear.

Deng Sui's body trembled, and his heart was startled. "When did your Majesty come? I didn't hear anything."

"You have your back to the door and sit by the window. Aren't you just looking at the scenery outside?" Liu Zhao said in a gentle tone: "How could I bear to disturb your peace? I just stood there for a long time and you didn't notice that I was here.

, and I was afraid that I would scare you when I suddenly discovered it, so I didn’t say anything."

"It's my concubine's fault." Deng Sui put down the silk thread in his hand: "Your Majesty has been here for a long time and I haven't noticed yet. Your Majesty has a wide seat, so I will let Tuo Xian serve tea."

Liu Zhao held her hand and slowly sat down beside him. "No need, I just sit with you."

To be honest, Deng Sui felt uncomfortable. She really wanted to ask Liu Zhao why he planned to use her as a pawn in the palace and also planned to plan on her mother's family. But she knew nothing would come out if she asked.

It will also make him angry.

"I have been dealing with some things these past two days and I didn't come over to accompany you." Liu Zhao pinched her fingertips and asked softly, "Can you blame me?"

"Where do you start talking about this?" Deng Suixiao said softly: "Your Majesty has always been busy with everything. I am very happy to be able to come to my concubine's place for a walk and a sit. Why do you have any complaints?"

Several figures flashed past the door, and Deng Sui heard the sound of footsteps. Just as he was about to turn around to see what was going on, he heard a loud voice outside the door.

"Your Majesty, we found it."

"Found it?" Deng Sui was surprised: "What did your Majesty ask Wu Leng to find?"

"Some things that shouldn't be found." Liu Zhaowen looked at her, as if he didn't take the illness seriously.

Deng Suizheng was surprised when Wu Leng had already opened the door and walked in.

Liu Zhao turned around, looked at the lacquer box in Wu Leng's hand, and frowned, "What is it?"

Wu Leng hesitated for a moment, but opened the box. Inside was a small figure tied with linen, and the silver needles stuck on it looked thin, long, and shiny.

"Is this the art of hating victory?" Deng Sui couldn't help being surprised: "Where did you find this thing?"

Liu Zhao gave Wu Leng a pleasant look and signaled him to tell the truth.

"In response to Mr. Deng, this thing was found in a wing in the southwest corner of your palace." Wu Leng said respectfully, "Put it on the beam in the room."

Deng Sui frowned and took out the little figure, only to find that there was also a bamboo slip in the box, with someone's birth date written on it. She guessed it belonged to Yin Lingyue.

In order to put the blame on her, he did not hesitate to make fun of his own fate.

Just looking at the writing on the bamboo slip carefully, she couldn't help but take a breath: "This handwriting really looks like my concubine's handwriting."

"So, did you write it?" Although Liu Zhao asked, he didn't take it seriously.

"No." Deng Sui smiled calmly: "I am even more curious, how could your Majesty suddenly come to Jiade Palace to search and find such a thing?"

Liu Zhao glanced at Wu Leng.

Wu Leng could only bite the bullet and said: "Back to Deng Guiren, Yin Guiren has been feeling unbearable abdominal pain and restless sleep these past few nights, so he invited an fortune teller to come to the palace and ask for divination. I don't want to change, but I got such guidance.

. He said that somewhere in the palace, there was a plot that was not conducive to the noble, so the noble Yin informed your majesty about the matter and asked your majesty to make the decision. The reason why he made it public was because he was afraid that there would be any misunderstanding. "

Deng Sui nodded: "Is it okay, Lord Yin?"

"Fetal movement discomfort, the imperial doctor has been in Yongle Palace." Liu Zhao frowned and said.

Deng Sui couldn't help but sigh: "It's true that the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop."

"The things were found in your palace, and the handwriting can be imitated so similar..." Liu Zhaoming smiled and gently lifted her chin: "Deng Guiren is afraid that he has to give me an explanation."

His tone was frivolous and his eyes were indifferent, and he didn't believe it at all.

Deng Sui couldn't help but chuckle: "If your majesty believes in me, why should I give you an explanation? Besides, how could this matter be discovered by a teller by chance? What is the background of the teller?"

When Deng Sui mentioned the fortune teller, the first thing that came to Deng Sui's mind was Su Wen. But Su Wen told her that Su Wen had no reason to harm her.

"I've seen this person before, and he looks like an ancient Taoist." Liu Zhao thought for a moment: "It seems his name is Su Suanzi."

Is it really Su Wen?

This made Deng Sui confused. Could it be that Su Wen had been bribed by Yin Lingyue? And the medicine he gave her was a deliberate frame-up by him? "Since the matter happened in the concubine's palace, then the concubine must personally

Go to Yongle Palace and explain it clearly to Lord Yin." Deng Sui was not willing to meet Yin Lingyue like this, but if he didn't explain it clearly, the other party would think she was afraid and would be intimidated.

"You just need to explain it clearly to me." Liu Zhao let go of his hand and said to Wu Leng, "Send this thing to Yongle Palace to show to Lord Yin."

"No." Wu Leng agreed and stepped back.

Deng Sui asked in confusion: "Yin Guiren may not be able to see these things during her pregnancy, so why would your Majesty send them to her?"

"How can she feel at ease if she can't see her?" Liu Zhao said in a calm tone, still not distracted.

"Your Majesty, I would like to meet the teller. Since he has such ability, he must know who is behind the whole thing. I was wronged, but I can't be wronged in vain. I hope your majesty will make it happen."

Deng Sui felt uneasy.

"Don't worry, I will naturally take you to see him." Liu Zhao fiddled with the pendant on her earlobe: "Your status is precious, but what you wear in daily life is simple. I have people carefully select some accessories. Tomorrow

It will be delivered to you in the morning. You can change it and wear it."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Deng Sui didn't know what he meant by saying this at this time. Anyway, she didn't think about what happened that day, and she didn't want to think about it. It's best to let the past go.

"In a few days, when everything in the palace is settled, I will ask Wu Leng to arrange for you to return home to visit your relatives." Liu Zhao looked at her fair skin and his Adam's apple twitched. "Have you taken your medicine on time these past two days?

Are you feeling better? Does Dr. Zhang come to check for pulse every day?"

"Replying to your majesty, on the day I returned to the palace, I ordered Dr. Zhang to go back to his house to rest. I took medicine on time in the past two days, but did not ask Dr. Zhang to check for a pulse. However, I felt that my health was much better. I can only hope that

I hope the matters in the palace can be settled as soon as possible. I miss my mother."

"Well, of course I miss you." Liu Zhao did not mention the assassination of Deng's family, but he was sure that Deng Sui must know about it.

The smart thing about this woman is that she says what she should say and doesn't ask anything that shouldn't be asked. Compared with those women in the harem who chatter endlessly when things happen, she can really make people feel at peace. "I am today.

I’ll stay with you tonight.”

"Your Majesty, how dare you take this as your concubine? You are a noble person who has been wronged and is weak. Even if this matter has nothing to do with me, I would not dare to compete with her for your majesty's favor at this time." Deng Sui smiled.

Said: "It's hard to let her worry about these things when she's pregnant."

Liu Zhao used a little force and pulled Deng Sui into his arms. "You have been in the palace for so long, and you only took the initiative that night. You always like to push me away, but I can't see what's going on in your heart."

What are you thinking about? Are we husbands, lords, or just pawns in your plan?"

When he spoke like this, Deng Sui was stunned.

He said that she treated him as a pawn, which was either ridiculous or a joke.

All along, it was he who had arranged for her to enter the palace, and it was he who did not hesitate to put her mother in danger in order to achieve his own goals.

Why would you say such words to ridicule her at this time?

"Your Majesty's words are profound and difficult to understand. I can't understand them." Deng Sui looked at him indifferently, watching him get closer to her little by little, and his thin lips fell unexpectedly. "Well..."

She subconsciously pushed hard and broke free from his arms.

"That's right." Liu Zhao looked at her like this, and the coldness on his lips slowly emerged. "You left me in the room that night, but do you know what happened outside? I've been there for a long time.

I knew your motives for entering the palace were impure, but I didn't expect you to be so bold."

"Your Majesty..." Deng Sui was surprised: "I really don't know what happened that night..."

Liu Zhao grabbed her wrist and forcefully pulled off the inconspicuous silver bracelet on her wrist.

"Your Majesty!" Deng Sui had never seen him so rude before, and his body began to tremble unconsciously.

"Do you think I don't know what good things are hidden in this?" Liu Zhao broke the round silver bracelet, and the powder inside spilled out. "These vile things, I, the noble Deng

The noble man actually knows how to use it? I'm really curious, can't you think of some more subtle methods?"

Deng Sui squatted down, picked up some powder with his fingers, and sniffed it gently.

The powder had almost no smell and looked a light coral color. She didn't know how she could hide these things in her bracelet, and she was very frightened. Ordinarily, these things were prepared by Mei Shu and Sirou, so they shouldn't be

There would be a mistake. Unless the bracelet had been tampered with when it was given to her again...

"Do you think of me as one of those patrons who hang out in Fireworks Willow Alley?"

At this moment, there was no trace of gentleness on Liu Zhao's face. The anger between his brows and the coldness in his eyes were completely different from usual.

Deng Sui looked at him, his legs softened, and he knelt down.

"On weekdays, you resist me, hate me, and are not willing to get close to me at all. That night, in order to save your sweetheart, you did not hesitate to use this medicine powder to make yourself lose your true nature, and made such a big sacrifice to keep me. Deng Sui

Deng Sui, do you think that if you treat yourself like this, I will be deceived by you and be fooled by you?"

I don’t know what life-threatening incident happened that night to make the emperor so angry.

But Deng Sui felt that the person who could betray her must be someone who knew the inside story, that is, someone close to her. This was not a good guess. And if the person who betrayed her was never found, wouldn't it be

Everyone lives under someone else’s knife?

"Deng Guiren!" Liu Zhao was furious. He was so angry that his chest was filled with anger. But the woman kneeling in front of him was completely unaware, even a little distracted, wondering what she was thinking. She clearly didn't take him seriously.
