As for Chu Yewei, because the matter had not yet been clarified, he also knelt on the ground, and the wound on his forehead was also treated by the imperial doctor and wrapped in gauze.
"Your Majesty, it's not good." The exclamation of the little eunuch came from outside the door.
Emperor Chu rubbed his eyebrows and asked extremely irritably, "What's the matter, I'm in a panic." ”
"Lu Meiren, Lu Meiren, she hanged herself." The little eunuch hurriedly knelt on the ground and said.
"What do you say? is so dignified, how could Lu Meiren hang herself? Emperor Chu asked coldly.
The concubine on the side suddenly shook the bowl containing the decoction and medicine, then leveled it, narrowed her eyes slightly, and fed the medicine to Nangong Ye's mouth.
"The slave doesn't know, but the slave found a suicide note in Lu Meiren's palace and asked the emperor to take a look." The little eunuch took out a handbook from his bosom and spoke.
After Li Haisheng received Emperor Chu's consent, he handed the handwritten book to Emperor Chu from the little eunuch's hand, and glanced slightly sideways at Nangong Fusu and Tang Jinxuan, who were standing on the side.
Emperor Chu took the handbook, his eyes became darker and darker, and finally he couldn't control it, crumpled the handbook into a ball, threw it on the ground, slapped Concubine Shu hard, and asked in a voice with three points of anger: "You tell me clearly, what's going on?" ”
"Your Majesty?" Concubine Shu covered her cheeks, her eyes were slightly red, and her voice was full of grievances.
"What is the identity of this Lu beauty, you still dare to deceive me, slut." Emperor Chu's face was a little pale, and he pointed at Concubine Shu and said angrily.
Concubine Shu had some doubts in her heart, this Lu Xuelian was originally the daughter of the head of the household, and she was just the daughter of a prisoner, even if she found out, it would not cause the emperor to be so angry.
Nangong Fusu looked at Concubine Shu's face, and sneered in her heart, this Concubine Shu only knew one thing, but she didn't know the other, if this household secretary was really because of the money problem, how could his father let him preside over the case.
It's just because Lu Shangshu didn't know the severity of the matter, so he was soft-hearted and raised the orphans of Nanning who were destroyed by the Chu State that year, under the pseudonym Lu Xuelian.
That's why she was found by her father, she was so ruthless, and the exiled female dependents could almost be said to be dead, if it weren't for Concubine Shu's own cleverness to leave Lu Xuelian behind, she would have been a lonely soul a long time ago.
Tang Jinxuan picked up the handwritten book on the ground, read it carefully, and then said: "It turns out that the queen mother was framed by someone, this Lu beauty is really ruthless, and she can even give up the flesh and blood in her belly, just to avenge the revenge of the Lu family being destroyed back then." ”
After listening to Tang Jinxuan's words, Emperor Chu was even more pale, Lu Xuelian could take revenge like this when the Lu family was destroyed, if he knew the revenge of destroying the country back then, wouldn't he be willing to kill him.
"Slut." Emperor Chu kicked Concubine Shu hard.
Concubine Shu only felt a fishy sweetness in her throat, and a mouthful of blood gushed out, she glanced at Nangong Ye who was lying on the bed, grabbed Emperor Chu's sleeve and said: "Your Majesty, even if the concubine is guilty, but Ye'er is your son, you can't ignore it." ”
"It is very clear in this handwritten book, she bought off the big palace maid next to Niangniang, and poisoned the third prince, how does Niangniang want the emperor to take care of it?" Tang Jinxuan asked out loud.
After listening to Tang Jinxuan's words, Concubine Shu's phoenix eyes widened, snatched the handwritten book from her hand, shook her head and said: "Impossible, how is this possible, obviously Chu Yewei said that it was her poison, it was her poison." ”
"Imperial Doctor, check the pulse of the third imperial concubine to see if she has been poisoned." Emperor Chu waved his hand and said.
Tang Jinxuan looked at Concubine Shu, smiled and said, "Niangniang, it was also said in the handwritten book that the third imperial concubine was poisoned by Lu Meiren, so she had to say so." ”
"No, no, this is fake, the emperor is fake, it must be Nangong Fusu's conspiracy, he wants to put our mother and son to death." Concubine Shu clutched the sleeve of Emperor Chu's coat tightly, as if she had grasped the last straw.
"Your Majesty, the Third Imperial Concubine has indeed been infected with carmine, and the toxicity is deeper than that of the Third Highness, and it will take some time to develop an antidote." Imperial Physician Feng knelt on the ground and spoke.
As soon as Imperial Physician Feng's words fell, Concubine Shu's hand slid weakly down the sleeve of Emperor Chu, and it was all over, not only did she not succeed, but she also put herself in a predicament.
"Spread my will, the concubine has no virtue, she will be demoted to a third-grade lady, and she will be banned from Minxiu Palace for a long time, as for the three princes, you will recuperate well in the past half a year, don't go out." After Emperor Chu finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.
Nangong Fusu lifted his robe and knelt on the ground and said, "Father, since the matter has been clarified, I still hope that my father can return my mother's innocence." ”
"I will issue an order to lift the ban and grant the phoenix seal." After Emperor Chu finished speaking, he didn't look at Nangong Fusu, and left in stride.
"Third brother, everyone is gone, it's time to wake up." Nangong Fusu looked at Nangong Ye, who was lying motionless on the bed, and said with a smile.
Nangong Ye slowly opened his eyes, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Why did Lu Meiren suddenly commit suicide?" ”
"What you are asking should not be why Lu Meiren committed suicide, but why his father is so angry, right?" Nangong Fusu raised his eyebrows and said.
"Speaking of which, it is possible that you don't know about it, when my father first ascended the throne, in order to consolidate his position, he destroyed Nanning, and at that time, the Nanning royal family was almost slaughtered, only the five-year-old Nanning princess and the three-year-old Nanning little prince were missing."
"The third brother is so smart, he should have guessed it." Nangong Fusu said slowly.
Nangong Ye lay on the bed, his hands clenched into fists, looked at Nangong Fusu and said, "So the imperial brother found the prince of Nanning and coerced Lu Xuelian?" ”
"That's right." Nangong Fusu nodded without hesitation.
Looking at Nangong Ye's reaction, Nangong Fusu immediately said: "Actually, even if you don't have Lu Xuelian's handwriting, you will lose this game." ”
Nangong Ye raised his eyes and looked at Nangong Fusu, he didn't know which link he had made a mistake and lost so completely.
Tang Jinxuan smiled, took out a delicately embroidered purse from her bosom and put it on Nangong Ye's bed, and said with a smile: "This morning, Steward Bai sent another white jade paperweight to the third brother's mansion and gave it to Chen Meiren in the name of the third brother, I don't know if the third brother is still satisfied?" ”
After listening to the words of the two, Nangong Ye only felt a fishy sweetness in his throat, spit out a mouthful of blood, and then fainted, although his poison was caused by himself, but after all, it also hurt his body, and he was so angry, I am afraid that he will really have to cultivate for some time.
"Ye'er, Ye'er, Taiyi, Taiyi?" When Concubine Shu saw Nangong Ye vomiting blood, she immediately panicked and hurriedly shouted.
But the imperial physician had already retired after the emperor left, and now there are several of them in the main hall, and there are other people in the palace.
"Xuanxuan, accompany me to Yongning Palace to see the queen mother." Nangong Fusu looked at Nangong Ye in a coma with overflow, and took Tang Jinxuan's hand out of the palace gate.
