The carriage driven by three horses roared all the way, and finally arrived in the capital in the early morning of the second day.

Of course, the first thing the vassal king did when he returned to Beijing was to enter the palace to face the saint, and now that his mother and concubine had an accident, Song Chen went back to his palace and hurriedly changed his clothes, and carried Chu Xue into the palace.

Song Chen is a prince, although he is worried about the concubine, he still has to go to see Emperor Jianhe first, but fortunately, Chu Xue didn't have to face the saint, so he went to Funing Palace first.

When Chu Xue came in, the imperial doctor had just left, and after a day and a night of five imperial doctors' efforts, Concubine Jing was finally stayed, but I heard that the poison in her was quite fierce, and it would take some time to clear it all, so the person had not woken up yet.

Out of courtesy, Chu Xue didn't go closer, only stood at the door of the inner room of the dormitory and glanced at the sleeping couch, only to see that in the gorgeous tent, the pale concubine closed her eyes tiredly, and she looked like a weak woman without the pearl and green ayaluo that she had been by her side in the past.

Chu Xue knew that people no longer had to worry about their lives, so she relieved her mind slightly, although she had no blood relationship with Concubine Jing, but after all, it was her husband's mother, seeing that Song Chen was anxious in the carriage last night, she was naturally worried.

Even the noble concubine, who was deeply favored by the king, was so fragile in this deep dark palace that she would be murdered with poison, so that she almost lost her life, and without a child by her side, she must have felt extremely lonely at the moment of poisoning.

Chu Xue thought of her two victimizations in the palace, and couldn't help but feel very sad, it turned out that even if she was as noble as a concubine, she still couldn't avoid those dark and dirty methods, and the smooth and indisputable back house was probably just a man's fantasy forever.

didn't allow her to sigh any more, the palace people had already brought up the decoction medicine, Chu Xue hurriedly took it, and instead of the female official, she personally fed the concubine to drink the medicine.

Diligent Palace.

Emperor Jianhe saw his third son, Song Chen, and his face, which had been gloomy for many days, finally eased a little.

Although he was attacked twice and his mother was framed, Song Chen still calmly asked for peace first, and stood aside without saying much. There have been too many things that have happened in the harem two days ago, and his father must have been upset, and with his father's temperament, once he has an idea, he doesn't need others to say more.

The most important thing is that what he saw after entering the palace this morning was normal, then his mother and concubine must be safe, and he must stabilize his mind in front of his father.

Emperor Jianhe saw the wound on his hand, and then asked him about the assassination, so he came to Funing Palace with him.

When the father and son came in, Chu Xue was carefully feeding medicine to Concubine Jing.

Because Jing Guifei was asleep, it was not easy to feed, she could only take the medicine spoon and drain it into Jing Guifei's mouth little by little, so a bowl of medicine was fed for a long time, but she carefully divided the medicine into two bowls, and when she fed the first bowl, the other bowl was left in warm water to warm up, so that when one bowl was fed, the other bowl would not be cold, and the effect of the medicine could be brought to the best. Seeing that there was only a little left in a bowl of medicine, a rumor sounded outside the palace gate that the emperor was coming. She hurriedly put down the medicine bowl in her hand and got up to kneel to greet her.

Although it has been a year since she married into the royal family, she has met the Holy Driver for the second time.

When Emperor Jianhe saw her, he was slightly stunned, and Song Chen explained: "Erchen only brought the Chu family back to Beijing this time, so she was the only one who came to serve the concubine this morning. ”

Emperor Jianhe nodded lightly and said in a harmonious voice: "Get up, it's rare that you have filial piety, so you don't need to be polite." ”

She bowed her head and said yes, getting up and taking a few steps back.

The father and son came to the bedside and looked at the woman on the couch, Emperor Jianhe was unbearable and guilty in his eyes, and Song Chen was distressed and worried in his eyes.

Although he is a mother and son, but since he was crowned king, he has gathered less and left more, because of his own strength, the mother concubine has to deal with the queen and the East Palace, how exhausted will it be?

At present, although the mother concubine has no worries about her life, but no one can replace her for this crime, and when the news of her poisoning and coma should be her second assassination first reached Beijing, she still has to let the mother worry about herself, he feels that he is really unfilial.

Although he was not sure who had done the poison, Song Chen's heart was full of self-blame.

Seeing that there was still medicinal juice in the bowl, Emperor Jianhe motioned to Chu Xue, "You continue." Then he walked with Song Chen to the outer hall.

"The matter of your mother's concubine, I have been investigated, don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation."

Emperor Jianhe's face could not hide his tiredness, but this statement seemed to make up for it.

Seeing that his father had already spoken like this, Song Chen didn't say much, but only said respectfully: "Yes." ”

After staying for a short time, the emperor returned to the Qinzheng Palace, and Song Chen stayed.

Chu Xue's medicine had been fed, and when Song Chen returned to the bed, she was gently wiping her mouth for Concubine Jing with a silk handkerchief.

When she saw him return, she gave up her place again and asked him to sit down in front of her mother.

"Ning Kite." He called softly.

The personal female officer of the concubine came to him.

"What did the Imperial Doctor say?" His gaze remained on the pale face of the concubine.

Ning Yuan replied: "Back to Your Highness, the imperial doctor said that as long as Niangniang takes medicine on time, she will wake up in about three or four days." ”

He nodded, and then continued, "Who did it?" ”

Ning Yuan knelt down, her face trembling like white paper, and said: "Your Highness, the slave doesn't know, when Niangniang had an accident yesterday, the emperor had already interrogated all the palace people in Funing Palace, and the problem is not in Funing Palace!" ”

Song Chen frowned tightly and asked further, "How did that Niangniang get poisoned?" ”

"Back to His Royal Highness, yesterday morning, Niangniang began to feel uncomfortable after taking the pearl white fungus soup, and she passed out before the imperial doctor came. After the imperial doctor came, it was found out that Niangniang was poisoned, and after the trial of Funing Palace yesterday, the inner court supervisor interrogated Shang Shan Jian one after another, and later today, there should be a result, and the means of the inner court supervisor, you know. ”

Song Chen's voice was still very soft, as if he was afraid of disturbing his sleeping mother, but his expression was extremely cold, "Take good care of Niangniang these days, if there is another mistake, this king will want the entire Funing Palace to pay for his life." ”

The eunuchs and maids in the palace knelt on the ground.

Chu Xue knew that he was really angry, and he didn't dare to say anything more.

At noon, Song Chen and Chu Xue returned to King Heng's Mansion. Last night, after a bumpy ride, and thinking about all the things in Beijing, both of them were tired, but Song Chen had a bunch of important matters, and when he learned that he was back, there were not a few people who came to ask for a meeting, so after a hurried lunch, Song Chen went to the study, and Chu Xue went back to his yard.

At the end of the day, the palace of diligent government.

Zhou Yu, the chief supervisor of the inner court, hurriedly came to the imperial study, today's Jianhe Emperor's face was particularly stern, Zhou Yu paused, and said softly: "Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Jianhe glanced at the visitor, his gaze continued to turn to the chapter on the case, and said lightly, "Say it." ”

Zhou Yu sank his breath, bowed down and said, "The matter of Funing Palace has already come to an end. ”

Emperor Jianhe raised his gaze and looked at the person in front of him.

Zhou Yu lowered his head, but Emperor Jianhe still saw the panic in his eyes.

"Yesterday, Jing Guifei Niangniang fell into a coma after eating the pearl white fungus soup, and afterwards the imperial doctor confirmed that Niangniang was poisoned by Hu vines, and the slave checked the Shang Shan Supervisor, and there was no suspicion, but according to the Shang Shan Jian Imperial Chef, yesterday when cooking sweet soup for Funing Palace, the palace maid Dian Chun of Yongle Palace had been to the dining room...... In addition, the bowl of pearl white fungus soup has not passed through the hands of others. ”

Emperor Jianhe's eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't seem to be surprised, he just looked at Zhou Yu in front of him, cold as an iceberg.

"Go on."

"Yes." Zhou Yu continued, "The slave just went to Yongle Palace to check, there is a newly turned soil in the garden of Yongle Palace, according to the palace people, it is for planting flowers, but the slave ordered someone to dig it up and found that there were crushed Hu vines inside......"

"Bastard!"

Emperor Jianhe let out a low roar, thunderous.

The imperial study suddenly fell down again.

"Go to Yongle Palace!"

Before everyone could respond, the dragon-robed monarch had already strode out of the door.

In the Yongle Palace, Empress Chen, the wife of Emperor Jianhe, clung to the corner of her husband's robe, and burst into tears, "Your Majesty, the concubine has been wronged, and the concubine is really unaware of the poisoning of the concubine......"

Since the poisoning of Concubine Jing, Empress Chen has vaguely felt that something is wrong, but she thinks that she is not afraid of shadows, and the emperor has not come to ask, if she is in a hurry to defend herself, wouldn't she be suspected of having three hundred taels of silver here? Therefore, Empress Chen, who has been in the world for more than 30 years, has been sitting firmly in Yongle Palace for two days, standing still.

But she never expected that the people in the inner court would actually search for that Hu vine from the garden! Although she hated Concubine Jing very much, although she had long wanted that slut to die, she would never pick the moment when King Heng had just been assassinated! Empress of more than thirty years, could she be so stupid?

But her husband obviously no longer believes her, but no matter what, she must prove her innocence, because once she is suspected, it will inevitably affect her son, the prince of the East Palace!

That's all that matters.

Although Empress Chen had already brought pear blossoms and rain, Emperor Jianhe was unmoved, clamped her chin viciously, and said sharply: "You have become the queen, your son is already the crown prince, I have already given you the best, what are you dissatisfied with?" Why do you have to put her to death? ”

"Your Majesty! You believe in concubines, but you really aren't concubines! Although Emperor Jianhe's words had pierced into his heart like a sharp sword, Empress Chen did not let go of the last glimmer of hope, and still choked up and pleaded, "Your Majesty, think about it, if the concubine really wants to harm Concubine Jing, why do you want to leave the poison in her palace to attract people to investigate, and put it in such an obvious place, the concubine is not a foolish person!" ”

"Yes, I wonder why you were so stupid when you quietly took the fetus from her womb back then?"

Emperor Jianhe stared coldly at the woman begging in front of him, and there was no trust in his eyes.

The crying stopped abruptly, Empress Chen looked at the man in front of her in horror, and after a while, Fang hesitated: "Your Majesty, what are you talking ......about?"

Emperor Jianhe sneered, "Do you want me to talk about it again?" ”

Fang Cai's hands that were still holding the dragon robe suddenly let go, and Empress Chen was instantly stunned.

Originally...... He knows.

He knows everything!

What else can he say at this time to convince him that he is indeed innocent this time?

What else to say?

He had already decided that he was the murderer.

I'm afraid that all the things that have happened in the harem over the years have been counted on his own head!

He's so ruthless! He refused to give himself even a chance to defend himself......

Looking at the woman who no longer spoke, Emperor Jianhe snorted coldly and left with his sleeves brushed up, leaving behind the despair of the glorious Yongle Palace.

Yes, he knows it all.

The reason why he pretended not to know back then was because he was still afraid of the power of Empress Chen's mother's family, and he, a king who had just ascended the throne, still relied on mutiny to ascend the throne, and of course he needed the support of those families.

So I can only watch the woman I love being wronged.

But now a qiē is different.

An hour later, Emperor Jianhe issued a holy decree, Empress Chen was narrow-minded and misbehaving, and immediately stripped of the right to hold the six palaces and banned the Yongle Palace forever.

When the news from the palace arrived, Song Chen was having dinner with Chu Xue, because it was not a secret, the housekeeper who came to report the news did not shy away from it, and directly reported the news in front of Chu Xue.

As soon as the news came into his ears, Chu Xue paused, but seeing that Song Chen didn't react much, he only said lightly: "I know, let's go down." ”

The butler bowed his head and withdrew.

Chu Xue glanced at Song Chen silently, and seeing that he didn't say anything more, she couldn't make a sound, but she knew it in her heart.

Yesterday Concubine Jing was poisoned, and today the queen was seized and grounded, it seems that this poisonous hand is really under the Yongle Palace.

Although the emperor didn't say anything more, this step is no different from the abolition, as soon as the queen falls, the prince ......

Song Chen will definitely be busier next, but Concubine Jing from Funing Palace hasn't woken up yet...... She thought about it and had some ideas.

When she went to bed after bathing at night, she said to Song Chen, "Lord, the concubine has an idea......

"Well," Song Chen looked down at her in his arms, "What do you think, say it." ”

She sat up straight and looked at the man in front of her seriously, "There have been so many things in the palace recently, people must be panicking, there can be no shortage of people around the concubine, and there is nothing to do in the house at the moment, if the prince agrees, the concubine is willing to enter the palace every day to serve the mother, and you can be relieved if you have your own people." ”

As soon as these words came out, Song Chen looked at her sideways, only to see a beautiful woman with long hair and a shawl, her skin was better than snow, and her eyes were like autumn water.

He smiled and stretched out his hand, she knew that he had agreed, and she smiled heavily and lay down in his arms.

He kissed her on the forehead and said, "If you are as beautiful as you, what more could you ask for?" ”
