Although the emperor knew this in his heart, he didn't want to explain.

Looking at Xuanyuan Che coldly, the emperor snorted lightly before saying: "Since you talked about the past, then today I will also tell you that if it weren't for you, your mother would not have died." ”

Xuanyuan Che's painful memories began with Concubine Mei's death, and when he heard the emperor say this, his eyes suddenly widened, he gritted his teeth, and said word by word: "What do you say, what do you mean that if it wasn't for me, my mother wouldn't have died?" ”

"Don't you know?" Seeing his shocked face, the emperor frowned slightly, but still spoke: "At that time, you were already eight years old, and you yourself sent a piece of poisonous pastry to your mother's mouth and let her eat it and then poisoned it. If it weren't for you, or as smart as your mother, how could she have been so poisoned and died? ”

This is the first time Xuanyuan Che has heard such a statement about Concubine Mei's death. His father said that he personally took the poisonous pastry and sent it to his mother's mouth, and then she was poisoned and died.

How is this different from what I remember? In Xuanyuan Che's memory, the mother concubine was indeed poisoned and died, and she was indeed poisoned after eating pastries. But at that time, after the corners of Concubine Mei's mouth began to bleed, she patted herself gently, saying that it didn't matter, and asked people to take him to check if it was his poisoning.

Because Xuanyuan Che, the pastry at that time, also ate it, and ate a lot. And the pastry was a bowl-sized longevity peach made by Concubine Mei in order to celebrate his birthday.

At that time, after the hot shou peach was served, Xuanyuan Che held it in his hand and loved it more and more. After eating a small piece by himself, he saw Concubine Mei smiling at him on the side, and he couldn't help but break a piece and hand it to Concubine Mei's lips.

And Concubine Mei was naturally happy about Aiko's behavior of thinking of herself everywhere, so she happily accepted it and ate it in one bite.

It didn't take long for Concubine Mei, who had eaten Shou Peach, to suddenly bleed from her mouth and nose.

Seeing this, most of the uneaten longevity peach in Xuanyuan Che's hand suddenly fell to the ground, and he hurriedly rushed over and hugged Concubine Mei.

The poison was very fast, and Concubine Mei was so painful that she twitched all over, but she still patted Xuanyuan Che gently, told him that she was fine, and then asked the grandmother next to her to take her out and let the imperial doctor who came after hearing the news show Xuanyuan Che if there was poisoning first.

For so many years, Xuanyuan Che has been thinking about what kind of poison happened to Concubine Mei and where did the poison go?

"Impossible," Xuanyuan Che looked at the emperor, shook his head and said, "It's the same as eating longevity peaches, why is the mother concubine poisoned, but I have nothing to do?" Obviously, Shou Tao ate the most that day, so for so many years, he didn't associate Concubine Mei's death with Shou Tao.

"What you handed to your mother is the position where the tip of the Shou Tao peach is painted red," the emperor looked at Xuanyuan Che and said in a deep voice: "The whole Shou Tao, only there is poison." ”

"What?" When Xuanyuan Che heard this, his body was stunned, of course he remembered that he had indeed given the red place on the tip of the peach to Concubine Mei at that time. In fact, when Shou Tao first got his hand, he wanted to bite off the tip of the peach in one bite, which felt very tempting. But at that time, I couldn't help it, thinking that I would finally enjoy the best place.

Then after eating a few bites, he saw his mother looking at him lovingly, and he gave his mother what he thought was the best place.

What kind of person can grasp the mentality of his mother and son so accurately, so he will kill his mother and concubine?

After Concubine Mei went, her name has always been a taboo for the emperor, but today, for Xuanyuan Che, he tore open the hole in his heart alive.

At this time, looking at Xuanyuan Che's sad and self-reproachful expression, the emperor only felt that he might have thought wrong before. At that time, under the grief and anger, Concubine Mei's confidant grandmother brought from the Lu Mansion said that Xuanyuan Che personally sent poisonous things to Concubine Mei's mouth, so he was disappointed and disgusted with Xuanyuan Che, and even didn't want to pay attention to him.

But now that I think about it, the emperor suddenly understood. Back then, maybe Xuanyuan Che was used by someone to lead to Concubine Mei's death. But Xuanyuan Che is Concubine Mei's biological son, and it will definitely not be what he wants to do. After all, in the palace, Concubine Mei is the one who wholeheartedly shelters Xuanyuan Che from the wind and rain, and he is stupid and crazy to do something to kill Concubine Mei.

Besides, what happened to Xuanyuan Che later also illustrates the problem. If an eight-year-old can think so well, why would he fall to the point of almost being killed?

Perhaps, when he was furious, he directly gave all the people in Concubine Mei's palace to death for her funeral. If you had been more patient at the time, you might have been able to catch the real murderer.

Or did I make a mistake.

This son really owes a lot to himself.

Thinking of Concubine Mei's gentle appearance when she was alive, the emperor couldn't help but sigh and said, "Che'er, you have been wronged." "He'll make it up to this son.

"Father," Xuanyuan Che did not change because of the emperor's words, he looked at the emperor and said word by word: "I only ask for one thing, if the cause of my mother's death is revealed in the future, I only ask you not to protect the person who poisoned our mother and son in the first place." ”

"This is natural," the emperor also hated the person who killed Concubine Mei. It's just that when I thought that ten years had passed, I couldn't help but say: "But after such a long time, all the people in your mother's palace have been given to death, can you still find the murderer?" ”

"If you do something bad, God will always punish you," Xuanyuan Che gritted his teeth and said, "So, I believe that the real murderer will be found." ”

"Okay," the emperor nodded and said, "I'm waiting for your news." ”

Because he suddenly knew that Concubine Mei's death was inseparable from him, Xuanyuan Che's mood was a little low. Besides, although the emperor rarely said a few words to him with a pleasant face, Xuanyuan Che had no patience to continue talking to him.

"Father," Xuanyuan Che said, "If there is nothing else, I will take my leave." ”

"No," the emperor saw that he hadn't said a word about what he wanted to say today, so he waved his hand to prevent Xuanyuan Che from leaving, and said, "I still have something to say to you." ”

"Father, if you still want to talk about the incident at the palace banquet today," Xuanyuan Che looked at the emperor and said lightly: "Then I'll tell you, my words at that time were my attitude." I am in charge of my marriage, and I will never let the queen interfere in it, and neither can you. ”

As soon as he heard Xuanyuan Che's words, the fire that the emperor had suppressed suddenly burned again: "Enough, Xuanyuan Che, have you forgotten the words of the matchmaker and the order of your parents?" I tell you that I can keep the queen from interfering in your family affairs, but you can't refuse me to help you choose. ”
