Chapter 363: The Death of the Prince

"The Queen Mother doesn't need to play tricks anymore, the palace knows that the Queen Mother doesn't like it, but the second prince, the second prince is innocent! Now that he has been killed by a traitor, his life and death are still uncertain, and he asks the Queen Mother to give justice to the second prince! ”

Concubine Mei's trembling hand pointed at Dongfang Xu, who was standing beside the Queen Mother, but the other party's gaze did not dodge in the slightest, just looked at the person who accused her so quietly.

"Huh? What does that mean? What happened to Second Highness? ”

Everyone didn't understand what was going on, but they just heard Concubine Mei say that the second prince was framed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

"The palace doesn't understand what Concubine Mei means, but the palace has some doubts, and I hope that the mother can solve it. This was left by the county lord of Yongji before he left Beijing, and the mother kept saying that her father was seriously ill, and it was the queen mother's doing. However, the county lord of Yongji found that his father was poisoned, and the source of the poison came from the pots of nightshade in his father's palace. Concubine Mei still remembers, those night primroses? A note appeared in Dongfang Xu's hand, and everyone's eyes slowly changed with his movements.

The words of the county lord of Yongji, no one will doubt it. It was as if no one dared to doubt the eldest grandson Taifu and General Changle.

Concubine Mei pursed her lower lip slightly, she didn't know that Yun Shu had figured out the source of Emperor Chen's toxicity.

"We ordinary people don't know, but the county lord of Yongji found that night incense is poisonous, and long-term inhalation of the fragrance is harmful to the body, especially the father also likes to use this spice...... "In his hand, a small piece of black spice appeared." The mixture of these two spices forms a chronic poison, if as Concubine Mei said, why did the queen mother order someone to move these nightshades out of the Nine Dragons Palace, and finally stopped by her father? Isn't that a contradiction? ”

"Perhaps, Empress Chen just mentioned it casually, she knew that the emperor loved that night incense, so she would not agree." Concubine Mei smiled faintly.

"It's not my father who likes nightshade, it's Concubine Mei. And everyone knows that Concubine Mei is the princess of the Lotus Kingdom, the royal family of the Lotus Kingdom has a close relationship with the Wu family, and the Niangniang has also been well versed in pharmacology since she was a child. ”

Dongfang Xu grasped the point, and everyone was afraid of Concubine Mei, just because there was a powerful Wu family behind her, and the Wu family was good at using poison. So when the queen pointed out that Concubine Mei had poisoned Emperor Chen, no one in the court suspected it.

"At the beginning, the county lord of Yongji unlocked the poison on his father's body, so he became a thorn in Concubine Mei's side, and that time the county lord of Yongji suddenly disappeared, that is, he was taken away by Concubine Mei, if it weren't for Concubine Mei, she also wanted to quibble?" This matter was said by Empress Chen to Dongfang Xu herself, although it was a long time later.

"Hmph, now that the matter has come to this, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can say whatever he wants, and there is no excuse for the crime he wants?"

"Then this, Concubine Mei, how do you explain it?!" At this time, several medicine bags were thrown in front of everyone's eyes, and the Queen Mother looked coldly at the fearless woman, thinking that she had threatened the eldest grandson and confused the prince of Changle, so she would win? If you don't know, you can't do it unless you do!

Dongfang Xu gave him a look, and Imperial Doctor Hu immediately stepped forward and opened the medicine bags.

"At this time...... The poisonous ...... of the three sons of the Nalan family" Imperial Doctor Hu's face changed, and his hands trembled slightly.

"This is the poison of the Wu family! It's exactly the same as what was found in the house of General Weiyuan's wife! However, the Weiyuan clan has been executed, except for Concubine Mei, the mourning family really can't think of anyone else who can get the unique poison of the Wu family! ”

Everyone knows that after Emperor Chen executed Concubine Lian, Chen Guo and Lianguo broke off contact, and it was almost impossible to find the poison of the Wu family in Chen Kingdom, and since the beginning of the dispute between the princes, the people of the Nalan family died one after another, and they were all poisoned by the Wu family, is there such a coincidence in the world?

Everyone immediately looked at Concubine Mei with apprehension, apart from her, they couldn't think of a second person who could get the support of the Wu family.

"Since Old Lady Weiyuan can get the poison of the Wu family, others may not be able to! The Queen Mother wants to slander the palace?! "Concubine Mei really didn't think that the poison of the Wu family would actually fall into the hands of someone other than herself, what is the relationship between this old lady Weiyuan and the Wu family?!

The Queen Mother took a deep breath, "Prince, at the beginning, let the virtuous Emperor Taishang, the Mourning Family and the Emperor Taishang both promised the prince that they would lead the kingdom of Chen to the road of prosperity, but now, the prince wants to support such a demon girl and bring the kingdom of Chen into ruin?!" Concubine Mei, as the princess of the Lotus Kingdom, is still colluding with the Wu family, and the Chen Kingdom and the Lotus Kingdom broke up many years ago, what does this mean? The mourning family will definitely not allow it, this demon girl will once again scourge the country of our Chen Kingdom! ”

Changle Houye's body was a little stiff, and he slowly lowered his eyes, as if he was enduring something.

The Queen Mother's eyes were deeply red, "This demon girl killed the emperor, and now she wants to put the beloved grandson of the mourning family to death, if this country falls into the hands of the demon girl, isn't it equivalent to giving up the country of Chen to the Lian country?!" Ladies and gentlemen, think about it! ”

These words shocked the court, and no one dared to speak.

At this time, a handsome man stood up, and his elegant voice carried a long tone, "Weichen has the love of His Majesty, and he is fortunate to be in the position of prime minister." Over the years, he has accompanied His Majesty, and His Majesty has always said to Weichen that the prince is the hope of His Majesty, and he hopes that Ji Jin can assist the prince one day and complete his long-cherished wish that His Majesty cannot complete. Today, Ji Jin has decided to follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the death, looking at several princes, who has such a mind and intelligence as His Royal Highness the Prince, and neither can the second prince! No matter who was supposed to be the crown prince in the first place, now, it is the sage who is in charge! The Second Highness has a mother like this, are your colleagues so at ease? ”

"You, what do you mean by that!" Concubine Mei's vicious gaze stared at the bold prime minister, did he mean that he couldn't teach a good son?

However, several jealous glances came to make Concubine Mei's face more and more ugly.

Even the eldest grandson Taifu and Changle Wang Ye stopped talking, and the situation was quietly changing.

"You guys, do you have to disobey the emperor's holy decree?! The crown prince belongs to the second prince! Concubine Mei shouted.

However, no one responded to her. Ji Jin's words entered the hearts of everyone, no matter who the crown prince belonged to at the beginning, now it is the sage bureau.

……

At the same time, when the Marquis of Changding, who was outside the thatched hut, heard the news from the court, his eyes sank instantly, and he raised his hand high, and several men behind him immediately stepped forward and quickly surrounded the hay outside the thatched hut, "Light the fire!" ”

Inside the house, Dongfang Rui heard it clearly, they were going to burn themselves?! Who is it, is it...... Is it the royal brother?

Soon, the pungent smell came in from outside, and the scorching temperature rose rapidly, Dongfang Rui struggled, but the ropes on his hands and feet were too strong for him to break free. Is this his life going to die today? Is this the decision of the royal brother...... He wants to bury his father and the emperor by himself?

At this time, a slight voice came, and Dongfang Rui's gaze fell on the ground that trembled slightly. And the fire has spread to his side.

The smoke rose to the sky, and the Marquis of Changrong and his party stared closely at the grass hut that was burning more and more, and some people kept adding hay to it.

"Hopefully, it's in time."

I don't know how long it burned, until the smoke gradually cleared, and the grass hut had already burned beyond recognition. Several men stepped into the rubble and soon found the mutilated body. "Lord Hou......"

Marquis Changrong looked at the unburned jade pendant on the man's body, and put it away tightly, "Take it back and report to His Highness!" ”

Above the court, the two forces will not back down from each other.

"The Queen Mother has a deep misunderstanding of the palace, and now, the palace can no longer explain, the only thing that the palace feels sorry for is His Majesty! So far, I can't return the truth to His Majesty, His Majesty was framed to death by the queen, doesn't the Queen Mother want to avenge her Majesty Zhaoxue?! ”

"Nonsense! The most regrettable thing for the mourning family is that they couldn't give it to you once when they thought of the love between mother and son! You have caused my son so badly, this time, the mourning family will never spare you! ”

"As the princess of the Lotus Kingdom, I don't want to marry Chen Guo but suffer this treatment, and now My Majesty is going west, leaving the palace alone, and no one can be the master of the palace, Lord Wang! You tell the ministers, how did His Majesty say to the prince and the prince that he wanted to make the palace the queen? Concubine Mei kept crying, and this appearance made many people's hearts soften.

Yes, she is a weak woman who marries Chenguo far away, but she doesn't want to suffer for so many years. Even if you can't make the second prince the crown prince, at least you have to give her a clean slate, right? There are already people who can't bear it.

Prince Changle frowned slightly, and his innocent eyes made his heart ache.

At this time, a rush of footsteps came, and everyone heard the voice, only to see the man at the head standing upright, and his firm gaze was prohibitive.

"Marquis Changrong?" No wonder he didn't go to the morning court today.

However, everyone's eyes were quickly attracted by the thing that exuded a strong smell of burning, and if you looked closely, it was actually a body!

"See the Queen Mother, see His Royal Highness the Prince, Weichen is late!"

"Marquis Changrong, please get up." The Queen Mother's calm voice sounded, but Dongfang Xu's gaze stayed firmly on the body, and a bad premonition came to his heart.

"The Empress Dowager, the minister has something important to do."

"Quasi-play!"

"The minister was ordered by the prince to guard the Phoenix Palace, and he didn't want to bump into His Royal Highness the Second Prince who tried to commit murder to the queen, so he was immediately arrested...... His Royal Highness has ......"

"You, what did you say?" Concubine Mei was covered in a body, and slowly turned her head to look at the unrecognizable body.

Marquis Changrong just glanced at her coldly, and then presented the jade pendant.

"Yes, it's a jade pendant worn by the second prince." The queen put the jade pendant aside expressionlessly.

Marquis Changrong only felt that his eyes were staring at him tightly, but he lowered his eyes slightly and did not make any response.

"You, it's you!" Concubine Mei's voice changed instantly, like a hellish Shura, and her white and slender fingers seemed to want to grab the queen mother's throat in the air, "Give me back!" ”
