"It's the second brother, it's the second brother who asked his son to bring it to his younger brothers and sisters."

Song Qi's words caused everyone in the hall to be shocked.

Another prince, it turned out to be Song Qian!

You must know that although Song Chi and Song Song Qian were both born to Xu Jinhe, the personalities of these two children are diametrically opposed to her, the crown prince Song Chi is quiet and relatively cold in the eyes of outsiders, but Song Qian has been kind to him since he was a child, and he is also polite to several aunts, respects his brothers, and loves his younger brothers and sisters. And such a teenager, will he be as vicious as his mother?

Everyone was in disbelief.

So when they heard that this poisonous sachet was actually given by Song Qian, everyone present was surprised.

Of course, Li Jiaoyun was also surprised, but after being shocked, she was relieved, she knew that her son was loyal by nature and would never use poison to harm people. As for Song Qian, although she didn't believe it very much, the child's mother was Xu Jinhe, and it was difficult to say whether Xu Jinhe had an idea behind this move.

But these things, naturally Song Chen is in charge of Chu Xue, she can't control it, and she really doesn't have the energy to take care of it.

After listening to Song Qi, Song Chen had no expression on his face, continued to stare at Song Qi's eyes, and asked, "Is it really your second brother who gave it to you?" Sue sù father, why did he give you this? ”

His eyes were sharp, wanting to find out if Song Qi was lying, but the little boy did not dodge, and looked directly into his father's eyes and replied truthfully: "Back to my father, earlier today, the second brother took the two sachets to his son, saying that they were full moon gifts for his younger brothers and sisters, but he was afraid that if he came to send it himself, the imperial concubine would not accept it because he was the son of the queen mother, uh, the queen's mother, so he asked the son of the queen to hand it over." ”

"The second brother said that there was an auspicious pattern embroidered on it, which would bless the younger brothers and sisters with peace and auspiciousness, and the son saw that these two sachets were indeed very exquisite, so he took them and hung them on the bodies of his younger brothers and sisters......

At this point, Song Qi knelt down, kowtowed to Song Chen and Chu Xue, and said solemnly: "Father, this time it was the son's negligence, but the son's minister never had the intention of harming others, this time he made his younger brothers and sisters sick and suffered, and the son-in-law was willing to be punished!" I also ask my father and the imperial concubine to forgive me, and don't be angry with my mother. ”

At the end of the words, the little boy's eyes under the lamplight were shining, and a pair of heroic black eyes seemed to be misty due to remorse.

The little boy's actions were moving, and before the masters could express their position, Yan Ling on the side stood up and admonished: "Your Majesty, master, slave maid has also seen the embroidery of the two sachets, it is indeed not the stitch method of Yaohua Palace, and it is also different from the jewelry on the three princes...... The slave maid thought that maybe she could check out the side of Tingxue Hall. ”

Tingxue Hall is Song Qian's residence.

Yan Ling is good at embroidery, and this mention is actually feasible.

However, Song Chen did not respond directly, and said slowly to Song Qi, who was kneeling: "Although the crime of today's incident is not yours, but even your younger brothers and sisters are suffering from this illness, you are also at fault. ”

This can be regarded as believing Song Qi, Li Jiaoyun must be in her heart, and hurriedly instructed Song Qi, "Qi'er, don't thank your father soon!" ”

"Yes." Song Qi hurriedly kowtowed to his father, "My son obeys his father's will." ”

Song Chen was satisfied with Song Qi's appearance, nodded slightly, looked at Li Jiaoyun with a sick face, sighed, and said slowly: "It's not early, you are still sick, go back and rest first!" Remember to take your medication on time and get better as soon as possible. ”

I haven't heard her husband care so much for a long time, Li Jiaoyun also had a slight red eye, and bowed, saying, "The emperor also rested earlier, and the concubine took Qi'er to retire first." ”

Song Chen nodded, Li Jiaoyun looked at Chu Xue apologetically, and took Song Qi out of Yufu Palace.

Seeing that it was really not Song Qi who did it, Chu Xue finally put her mind at ease, and finally got a sister who treated her sincerely in this deceitful harem, she really didn't want to believe that Li Jiaoyun would make a move on her, but fortunately, it was really not her, although now it seems that it was just Song Qi's "one-sided words".

But Song Chen didn't mention Yanling just now, Chu Xue was still a little puzzled, and when the palace was cleared, he listened to him tell Liangxi in a deep voice, "Go to Tingxue Hall again and bring the second prince to me!" ”

"Yes." Liangxi bowed down and retreated.

It didn't take much effort to do so, and Song Qian also arrived at Yufu Palace.

Before he entered the door, Song Chen said to Chu Xue: "You have just come out of confinement, don't stay up late, go to sleep." ”

Chu Xue understood that Song Chen wanted to talk to his son alone, so she didn't say much, nodded in response, and entered the inner hall.

However, the conversation between father and son in the main hall outside can still clearly enter the ears.

After a while, Song Qian entered the door, and as when Song Qi came before, he first gave his father a dignified gift. However, the fourteen-year-old boy was not as indifferent as his younger brother, and after standing up, he looked at his father with a look of expectation.

Song Chen's heart tightened when he saw such a look, but he still tried his best to speak as calmly as he could and asked, "Do you know why I sent you over?" ”

Song Qian actually had a guess, but he was not very sure, and finally shook his head.

"Today, your third brother sent two sachets to Xuan'er and An An, saying that they were transferred for you, but is there such a thing?"

Song Chen asked by staring at his son's eyes.

I saw that the young man, who was already about the same height as his father, nodded affirmatively.

Song Chen was a little surprised.

The same is true of Liangxi behind him, he thinks that if it is really the second prince who wants to harm his younger brothers and sisters, this time the king asks like this, how can the person concerned quibble, why should he respond so happily? Is this the so-called way of daring to be a gentleman?

This child's temperament has always been his favorite, at this time, Song Chen saw him admit it, his heart was not painless, his face froze, and he asked coldly: "Why do you want to give them this kind of thing, the two of them are your siblings, and they are still so young, how can you do it?" Also, why do you want your third brother to give it for you? ”

His father's question was very different from what he expected, and the young man was very puzzled, and he was stunned for a while before saying, "Erchen doesn't understand what his father meant......

After thinking about it for a while, he decided to take advantage of the current opportunity to say all the words in his heart to his father, he knelt down, first kowtowed to Song Chen, and then said sincerely: "Father, those two sachets are actually sewn by the queen mother herself, the queen mother was imprisoned for a year, in fact, she has already sincerely repented, she prays sincerely in front of the gods every day, praying for the safety of her father and the imperial concubine, in order to make up for the mistakes made in the past, the queen mother and the father and wife for many years, this time I just want to express my heart to my younger brothers and sisters." The queen mother said that the imperial concubine might be angry with her sons, and she was afraid that she would not accept it, so she asked her sons to be handed over to the third brother...... Father, the queen mother really knows that she is wrong, please remember the love of the past many years, let her out! ”

After saying that, the young man kowtowed again, making Fang Cai's words more sincere.

However, Song Chen was completely angry, and immediately dropped an object in his hand, and said angrily: "I also plead for your mother, and I plead for her!" She wants to give Xuan'er and An An death today, and you still say that she is truly repentant! ”

"Father?"

Suddenly seeing his father's anger, Song Qian was even more confused, and looked at Song Chen who was angry with wide eyes.

Seeing that Song Qian really didn't seem to know, Liangxi, who was quite eye-catching, hurriedly opened his mouth and told the young man what happened tonight as it was.

After hearing this, Song Qian looked incredulous, and said in horror: "How come? How so? The queen mother clearly said that it was a gift for her younger brothers and sisters, how could she poison it? Father, the son really didn't know that there was a poison in it, and the queen mother clearly said......"

"Do you believe her too?" Song Chen interrupted him and asked sharply, "Also, I obviously banned her in Fengyi Palace and forbade you to meet, how did that thing get into your hands?" Did you resist the decree and secretly go to see her? ”

"No, no, Erchen didn't resist the decree!" Song Qian hurriedly explained, "It's the nurse who handed it to the son, and the son and the eldest brother haven't seen the queen mother for a long time...... "After all, it's still a child, and the young man whimpered at the end of the words.

"That kind of woman, what's so good to see!"

Song Chen was still angry, glaring at his helpless crying son, and said sharply: "I haven't seen you for so long, she can instigate you to do this evil thing, and she also borrowed a knife to kill people, and put all the guilt on your third brother, if you are still allowed to meet, how many people will be killed!" ”

"Father's ......"

The young man was at a loss at the moment, wanting to defend himself but didn't know what to say, he just shook his head and cried: "Erchen really doesn't know that there is a poison in it, Erchen really didn't mean to harm his younger brothers and sisters, please calm his father's anger, please let his father calm his anger......"

"You are already so old, you should have your own judgment on everything, how can you be so frivolous and able to listen to others? If it weren't for today's imperial doctors to find out in time, you would have almost made a big mistake, not only killing Xuan'er and An An, but also your third brother! After reading books for so many years, how can you be so ungrown, so naïve? ”

When the father's words were earnest, it was really heartbreaking at the moment.

Looking at Fang Cai's appearance, Song Qian seemed to be really unaware of Xu Jinhe's use, but as his son, a fourteen-year-old boy, how could his heart be so naïve? It was hard for him to let go!

The king fell sharply, and his anger was like thunder in the sky, and no one in the palace dared to intervene, but they all held their breath and hung their heads, trembling.

After a pause, Song Chen said: "Even if you really don't know, but you are gullible and put your younger brothers and sisters in danger, this matter must not be forgiven." He raised his head and ordered: "Come on, the second prince will be grounded for three months, think about it carefully, there is no will, and you must not go out of the Xuetang for half a step!" ”

"Yes." Liangxi immediately lowered his head and came to Song Qian's side.

Seeing Song Qian, who was in tears, kowtowed to his father again, and said, "The son obeys the order." Then he got up and stepped out of the temple door in a distracted and weak manner.

Seeing that the second son gradually disappeared from sight, Song Chen sighed heavily and rubbed the corners of his forehead tiredly.

After listening to the conversation between the father and son clearly, Chu Xue understood that he must be uncomfortable in his heart, at this time, it was clean outside for a long time, but she didn't see Song Chen come in for a long time, so she sank her breath and took the initiative to walk out of the dormitory and come to him.

Of course, Song Chen was uncomfortable.

The son who has always had high hopes for him, at this age, is still so naïve and naïve, and is used by others so lightly, not to mention the lives of his young son and daughter, and almost affected Song Qi. At this moment, as a father, a huge disappointment rose in his heart, and he even felt that more than ten years of hard work had been wasted.

And that woman, that poisonous woman, to this point, still dares to use such vicious means, and even uses her own flesh and blood, which is simply unforgivable, and the punishment for her in the past is still too soft-hearted. If I had been more decisive, I wouldn't have done this today.

This kind of self-blame also made it difficult for him to let go.

Looking at the man who was deeply frowning, Chu Xue called softly. "Your Majesty."

He looked up, looked at her who was also tired, and sighed: "It's my fault, I almost hurt Xuan'er and An An again, it's all my fault!" ”

Chu Xue naturally hated the woman who was imprisoned in Fengyi Palace, to be honest, even if she understood that Song Qian was being used, as a mother, seeing Xuan'er and An An's two young children in distress, of course, her heart was like a knife and she was angry, and she couldn't forgive Song Qian tolerantly.

But at this time, facing Song Chen, who was down, she still had to suppress her true feelings and try to be tolerant and generous.

Because the more times like this, the more critical the moment, her statement can definitely affect her future.

She sat down beside Song Chen and said comfortingly: "Your Majesty, you can't be blamed for this matter, it's that woman's fault, it's her who wants to harm the child, the emperor must not blame himself, he must take care of his health." ”

After a pause, she said again: "There is also Qian'er, he is just being used, now that there is no danger, please don't punish the emperor too heavily." After all, that's a kid too. ”

Sure enough, when these words came out, Song Chen let out a long sigh, turned his head, and looked at her for a while before he said: "Xue'er is so deeply aware of righteousness, it's really rare, I have wronged you too much in the past." ”

She lowered her eyes, shook her head and said, "If the emperor can say this, the concubines' previous grievances have not been in vain." ”

He sighed again and said, "Let the children take good care of themselves first, and I will explain the law to you." ”

Yu Yu instructed the people around him, "Come on, go to Fengyi Palace immediately......"

However, before he finished speaking, he saw a figure hurriedly coming in from outside the hall, it was the great eunuch Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu knelt in front of the two of them and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the news that has just been handed over from outside the palace, the old man of Peiguo Gongxu, died tonight." ”
