Everyone in my harem is talented

Chapter 100 Doubts

"Linlang, are you acting on your own again?

How could it be that the person who was poisoned at the banquet tonight was our Queen Mother?

How come Meng Xinghe is fine? What did you report to me before? What are her symptoms?

I see that she has a rosy complexion and looks very healthy!

Instead, it was our Queen Mother who was poisoned!"

She lowered her voice to a low tone, with a sound of gnashing teeth.

Concubine Lin Gui pinched Linlang's arms tightly with both hands. She pursed her lips, and her eyes were filled with a hint of disbelief and panic.

After Empress Dowager Lu fell to the ground, she had been suppressing the complicated emotions in her heart and dared not reveal any flaws.

She returned to the Ningxin Hall in Jing'an Palace and, as usual, calmly dismissed the palace servants, then let her emotions run wild.

"I don't have any, madam.

I know that I am not smart, and I also know the danger of this action. Our manpower is dwindling, how dare I act on my own?

I grew up with the Majesty, don't you know me?" Linlang's grievances turned into tears in her eyes, and she explained eagerly.

"Go and get me paper and pen. I need to copy some scriptures." Concubine Lin Gui took a deep breath. Her heart was filled with turmoil, but her tone was calm.

Whenever she wanted to calm down, she would copy the Buddhist scriptures stroke by stroke in the small Buddhist hall.

After she finished copying the scriptures and burned them to ashes in front of the Buddha, her mood was completely calmed down.

In addition to sending people to search for Concubine Chen's real child, Concubine Lin Gui also mobilized people to plant the Jun Ying grass on Meng Xinghe in the Suzaku Palace.

Meng Wuyue has unresolved grievances with Meng Xinghe, and also has friction with the Queen Mother.

Some time ago, she heard that Meng Wuyue's Luanyi Hall had planted many lilies of the valley.

Lily of the valley is another name for the monarch shadow grass.

The whole plant of this flower is poisonous, especially the leaves and stems. Even the water drops sprinkled on the flowers will be contaminated with some toxins.

After poisoning, people may suffer from headaches, irregular heartbeat, nausea, vomiting, hallucinations, and in severe cases, heart failure, coma, and even death.

Lily of the valley is not as famous as other orchids.

Cute, but very rare.

This flower was a gift from the Concubine Chen, who said she had found it by chance in a valley high in the mountains. It was beautiful but poisonous, so she was asked to raise it for fun.

Until a certain day.

Someone in Qin Zhi's harem actually started raising lilies of the valley again, and did it in a big way. How could I be fair to her if I didn't make use of them?

She originally wanted to use the fresh lily of the valley dew from the Luanyi Palace to slowly poison Meng Xinghe.

On the night of Empress Dowager Lu's feast day, Meng Xinghe was killed and two others were taken away.

I think this near-death situation, which is somewhat similar to that of the past, should bring back some memories for Empress Dowager Lu.

So she only had someone give Empress Dowager Lu a tiny dose of poison.

When she was reminded of Meng Xinghe's death, the hallucinations caused by the tiny poison might make Empress Dowager Lu reveal the treasonous things she had done in front of others.

It would not matter even if the scandal was not revealed in public. The poisoned Queen Mother Lu was frightened to death by the loss of Meng Xinghe's two lives.

It's just a pity for those palace maids who are still loyal to her. Although Qin Zhi cleaned the harem, how can he clean it thoroughly? There are still many people loyal to his mother.

Thanks to the fact that Empress Chen of Taizu had little energy, she, who was then a concubine, was asked to help manage the harem, which allowed her to hide her manpower so deeply and spread so widely.

That useless Empress Dowager Lu, even if she surpassed her to become the Crown Princess and the Empress, she couldn't even hold on to the power, if she didn't have a good son, huh!

It's better to be still than to move. What a pity.

If it didn't matter what the cost, she could send Empress Dowager Lu away at any time. If it wasn't for her, how could Concubine Chen be driven out of the palace? If it wasn't for her, how could Concubine Chen die?

Concubine Lin Gui's eyes were filled with deep hatred.

Of course, she failed to protect Concubine Chen and instead ended up killing her. She deserved to die just like Empress Dowager Lu.

But no, she couldn't die yet, as she hadn't found the child that Concubine Chen had carried for ten months and given birth to with great difficulty.

So this time, Concubine Lin Gui planned to use the same old trick again and frame the poison on Meng Wuyue, who had planted a yard full of lilies of the valley.

The previous attack on Lu Xinyin and the culprit's suicide were meant to pit the Queen Mother against Meng Wuyue.

Then she would sneak out again, assist Meng Wuyue behind the scenes, and use Meng Wuyue's hand to influence the court again.

Concubine Lin Gui felt that Meng Wu Yue had some similarities with her, as both of them had been in charge of the affairs of the imperial palace as concubines.

The attack on Lu Xinyin did cause discord between Meng Wuyue and Empress Dowager Lu, but Concubine Lin Gui did not achieve her goal.

Because Empress Dowager Lu was under house arrest by the emperor, she saw that the situation was not good and had to retract her outstretched hand.

There was a mistake again this time. What went wrong?

"Go check it out. I want to know what's going on."
