Chapter 37: Cover-up
At this time, the bonfire had been set up outside the tent, and the fruits of the hunting game became their dinner, which was so lively.
The Queen Mother hurriedly came and said to the emperor: "Emperor, no matter what this time, you have to make decisions for Xi'er!" ”
The emperor is on the rise, and he doesn't seem to want to care about Zhen Xi's affairs: "Queen Mother, that Mrs. Zhen is Li'er's concubine, and Li'er is the master for her." ”
"Emperor, this matter is not trivial! This paddock was originally guarded by forbidden troops, how did those gangsters get in? Are they strong in martial arts or are the forbidden army derelict in their duties? ”
The Queen Mother is reasonable, but the emperor also thought of these, he is in this paddock, and there are assassins who can get in, and the crime is to kill the head! Although it was not directed at him, it was also a crime of assassination, and he would not spare it, but the person he sent to investigate the matter had not yet reported it.
"And ......" The Queen Mother wanted to speak and stopped, she was thinking about whether to tell Zhen Xi's poisoning, after all, the poison was originally used in the military, and ordinary people couldn't get it.
It's just that she felt distressed when she thought that she was still alive and kicking when she came to the paddock, and now she was lying on the bed with a pale face! When she thought of the sword marks all over her body, she was angry!
"Emperor, Xi'er has been poisoned by aconite, if the mastermind is found, no matter who it is, it will be severely punished!" This person can take advantage of his position to harm people with the poisons used by the imperial court for military purposes, and if he is not severely punished, he will be in endless trouble in the future.
"What do you say, Queen Mother? Are you sure it's the poison of the aconitum head? "Nanzhao is located in the south, although aconitum is abundant, but Nanzhao has regulations that the poison made by this aconitum can only be used for marching battles, not for ordinary people.
The Queen Mother nodded and said, "There is no doubt about the medical skills of that Imperial Physician. ”
At this moment, Gonggong Liu, who was beside the emperor, stepped forward and whispered a few words in the emperor's ear, and the emperor's face suddenly changed greatly, and he suppressed his anger and said: "Bastard thing!" Bring him into my tent! ”
With that, he walked angrily towards his tent.
Everyone felt strange when they saw the emperor leave the table suddenly, but they didn't dare to say more, after all, the actions of the heavenly family are always uncertain.
Then, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also summoned to the account.
In the Emperor's account
"You bastard! You say, what else can you do seriously? I'm hunting here, and you dare to collude with the Forbidden Army and let the Assassins into the paddock? The emperor pointed to Chu Beiting in an angry manner.
Chu Beiting said innocently: "Father, son...... Erchen ...... I don't know what you're talking about? ”
"What are you pretending to be stupid about? The commander of the forbidden army has already given all his instructions! The emperor looked like he hated iron but not steel.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Chu Beiting immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Father, it must be those people with ulterior motives who have wronged their sons." ”
"You don't have to quibble with me! What's the matter with your cuffs? The emperor asked, pointing to Chu Beiting's cuffs.
"This is that slut......" Chu Beiting realized that he had slipped his mouth in the middle of speaking, so he quickly shut up.
"Which slut?"
Chu Beiting saw that his father seemed to know everything, so he kept kowtowing and admitting his mistake: "Father, the son knows that he is wrong, and the son knows that he is wrong, it is the slut who seduces the son, and he also says that he wants to get things out, and the son is ...... Erchen made this decision! ”
"Ting'er, do you know what you're talking about?" The Queen Mother listened to him on the left and the right on the slut, and she really couldn't listen to it.
"Imperial grandmother, I don't know what kind of ecstasy Mrs. Zhen poured into you, you like her so much, if she is a good woman, it would be fine, but as the concubine of the imperial brother, she seduced the son-in-law on the day of the moon viewing banquet, she must also be a shameless ......"
"Enough!" Before Chu Beiting finished speaking, he was interrupted by the Queen Mother, "What kind of temperament is Xi'er, the mourning family knows it, you don't want to slander people here!" ”
Chu Beiting saw that the queen mother couldn't make sense here, so he began to turn to the emperor again, taking retreat as advance: "Father, the son knows that the son is wrong, the son really knows the mistake, you punish the son and the son!"
"Hmph, if it's just this matter, I'll be fine, after all, Mrs. Zhen is just a concubine, but you don't know the severity so much, you actually use the poison of the aconitum for private purposes, I can't punish you or not!"
The emperor's words made Chu Beiting puzzled: "Father, if you say that you humiliate Mrs. Zhen's sons, but the poison of the aconitum really has nothing to do with the sons!"
This Chu Beiting is full of lies, and I don't know if what he said at this time is true or false.
"Don't quibble anymore, tell me well, who got the poison?" The Emperor suddenly softened, as if he were making a clever statement.
"Father, even if the son has the courage to use military things, the son is poisoned, but the poison ...... That poison is an aphrodisiac...... It's not the poison of aconitum head! Chu Beiting was in a hurry, and he recruited them all.
"Ting'er, what are you doing to let the mourning family say about you? Xi'er is also your emperor's brother's person, you actually flattered her, you did this, it was even more vicious than cutting her with a knife, what made you so unbearable? The Queen Mother pointed at Chu Beiting with an orchid, looking incredulous.
"Imperial grandmother, grandson must be a ghost, grandson really knows wrong!" Chu Beiting looked repentant, as if he really knew his mistake.
"That's it," the emperor waved his hand and said, "Gonggong Liu, pass on my will, and pull down the dog slave who speculates about the master's intentions!"
The emperor's words were to give all the blame to Chu Beiting's entourage, and he didn't even give a chance to defend himself, which surprised the queen mother on the side, but Chu Beiting, who was kneeling on the ground, was surprised and delighted, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He knew that his father had always been merciful to him, after all, his heirs were thin, if he was punished, who would inherit the Chu family? What about Chu Beili? Hum! If the soft persimmon that anyone can handle is the emperor, he must be a puppet!
Even if he poisoned that slut, how could his father punish him for just one of her concubines? He will inherit the throne in the future, and he must not be tainted until he succeeds to the throne!
"Don't secretly rejoice! You, who have no way to discipline and cause your subordinates to do such a thing that is immoral and unethical, will punish you for thinking about it behind closed doors for half a month, and you will not be allowed to step out of the East Palace! ”
The Queen Mother looked surprised, but seemed to have expected it, she shook her head: "No wonder this court always has no fear!" It turned out that there was a good father who was cleaning up the mess for him! Emperor, you remember a sentence, habitual son is like killing a son! Today's matter, the mourning family should not know at all, if there is a next time, you don't punish him, the mourning family will punish! After saying that, he left angrily.
Chu Beiting hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Grandmother Xie Huang, thank Father Emperor for your kindness!" The sons and daughters must carefully follow the teachings and promise that there will be no next time! ”
"Humph! You go out too! ”
Shulan Hall
"A bunch of rubbish! is known as a first-class killer, but he can't even beat a woman! Blind to the poison that this palace has worked so hard to get! "The virtuous and virtuous eldest grandson queen has a very hideous face at the moment.
Nian Qiao didn't dare to make a sound on the side, that woman was really amazing, that day Zhen Xi entered the inner hall of Shulan, she had been following her inch by inch, and somehow the soil under the bonsai was still turned over.
Empress Eldest Sun had a murderous look in her eyes: "Now that even Ting'er has been implicated, that woman must not stay!" She looked at Nian Qiao, and then said: "Nian Qiao, you go and contact the killer in the rivers and lakes, no matter how high the price is, it will not hinder, it is bound to get rid of that woman!"
"Yes!" Nian Qiao blessed the body.
